The BIGGEST Mistake You Can Make On YouTube
Avoid this at all costs...
Imagine that right now you have a YouTube channel earning you $10,000 a month
You’ve been making that much for a few months and because of this you’ve decided to quit your 9-5 job (good riddance!)
After a few months of living on your own terms and being your own boss you start to notice something concerning
Slowly but surely, your channel’s views start dropping lower and lower and lower
Fast forward 3 months and you’re back on Indeed looking for a new job
While I don’t wish this situation anyone, this is lifecycle of many YouTube channels
This is the case of the channel Investor Weekly
A year ago, this channel was crushing the faceless investing space
Generating multiple 1 million view videos using a format that could easily be made for $50 a video
Fast forward to today and things look very different
The channel now struggles to consistently generate over 5,000 views a video
Why is that?
Because the channel lacked what we call a moat
In my new YouTube Automation guide Tube Tactics, I go over this concept in detail
Effectively, a moat is a defense against other channels who will try and claim market share away from your channel
Sadly, given that Investor Weekly’s content is very replicable by anyone with access to basic video production software
It was only a matter of time before their channel was overrun and their income shrank to zero
This is why inside my new guide I share the 3 ways to create moats around your channel
I do this so that when you do build a $1,000/mo, $5,000/mo or $20,000/mo channel you can keep it at that level or growing rather than seeing it dwindle right infront of your eyes
So before you start or continue building on Youtube, consider how your content can stand out and stand the test of time.
Because when those YouTube checks come rolling in you won’t want them to stop!
Happy Saturday!
