How to build a YouTube channel the wrong way

Growing up, my dad shared with me many harsh but true realities of life.

One of which was the fact that nothing in life worth having comes without an immense amount of sacrifice.

And in some regards, the same notion applies in the world of YouTube.

As you already know, you can easily outsource the majority of the production of your videos and use your content to scale up your income online to $1,000s of extra dollars a month.

However, if you want to get overly aggressive about tapping into the most highly in-demand topics on the platform—those that can allow your channel to extend well into the five figures a month and beyond—then there will be sacrifices that have to be made.

You see, it's easy to jump on social media and see people running YouTube channels, flexing their $20,000-a-month ad revenue income.

But what they don't tell you is that their channels are pumping out one or more videos each and every day and taking up more time than they would be willing to admit.

If you don't believe me, let me share with you a great example of this phenomenon in practice.

Take the channel Hooporting.

Right now, this channel is making well above $10,000 per month, and while this would be an absolute dream for the average channel owner, it does come with a significant amount of effort.

As you can see, this channel is uploading one or more videos per day, which either requires you to have quite a robust team working behind you or to basically turn YouTube into your full-time job.

Therefore, if you haven't yet started your own YouTube journey or you're in the midst of it, I want you to be fully aware of the sacrifice that needs to be made in order to pursue a channel strategy like the one you see above.

Don't become disillusioned by the income figures that you see online, as what goes into the channel is just as important as what comes out.

In reality, channels like these that make more than most people's nine-to-five jobs will still be less work than what it may take to make a six-figure income at a job.

But for someone to sell you the idea that you can simply produce numerous videos per day and emulate this channel as a part-time gig is selling you a dream and nothing more.

Therefore, if you're someone who's looking to pair your own YouTube channel with a busy lifestyle that includes a family and a full-time job, then pursuing a rapid uploading strategy like the one you see above is definitely one that you should avoid.

Trust me, your stress levels and your mental health will thank you for following this advice.

Until tomorrow,

Adam
