The HARSH Truth About YouTube Automation
There are a ton of harsh truths we have to accept in life
You can’t make everyone happy
Santa doesn’t actually come down our chimney
The girl we have a crush on may not like us back (been there - ouch)
Then, there are harsh truths that people want us to accept
One in particular relates to making money online
What I’ve come to learn in my 31 years on Earth is this…
Most people fail to understand of the power of making money online
It’s why my friends and family used to criticize me for spending all weekend making YouTube videos
They would say, “Adam, instead of playing on the computer, go get another diploma”
This was after having already obtained 3 degrees and 2 professional designations by the way…
They would also say, “put in your time at your job and it will pay off”
As if a $200,000 salary was only a few months away
Needless to say, this advice did not resonate with me
And I’m glad it didn’t…
Instead of waiting 50 years to scale up to $20,000 months
I decided to start enjoying them in my 20s instead…
The harsh truth about YouTube Automation and making money online is this…
99% of people either think it’s a scam or that achieving success is impossible
I can totally understand why people would be skeptical
It’s hard to accept that there’s a better way of making money
Especially when you’ve been used to earning in one particular way for years
Unfortunately, this doubt that’s cast upon making money online deters a lot of people from trying
What’s so insidious about the demonization of making money online is this…
Nowadays, most people need a 2nd (or 3rd) stream of income
Don’t believe me?
As per Bankrate, 39% of Americans have a side hustle…
That’s tens of millions of people hustling outside their 9-5 jobs…
Sadly, these statistics don’t shock me at all
Cost of living has risen tremendously
Wages have barely budged
Interest rates have been in a frenzy
I’m fortunate enought to have started my own YouTube business years ago
And as you saw it’s paid off handsomely
But in my opinion, there’s never been a better time to start
Here are three reasons why…
1. Access to free, powerful tools
Back when I started on YouTube, the tools I had were embarrassing…
I would manually edit out each disfluency in my voiceovers in Audacity
And make my thumbnails in PowerPoint…
Why did I have to rely on these tools?
First, I was balling on a budget and couldn’t afford more expensive alternatives
Second, better alternatives often didn’t exist
Now, there are more YouTube tools than a toolkit can carry
For example, I used to spend 30 minutes changing an image’s background
Now on Canva you can do it with one click of a button
Plus, many of these tools are free (like the one above)
But this is only the beginning of why YouTube has become all the more enticing
2. Access to freelancers
You have no interest in making videos yourself or you don’t have the time?
Not to worry! This is where outsourcing comes into play
Back when I started, it used to cost an arm and a leg to hire team members
Not to mention, if I needed a specific skill for a project
People with that skill were impossible to find
That’s no longer the case…
Since the pandemic, the supply of online talent has risen significantly
You can access just about any skill you need at very reasonable prices due to market supply
But here’s the best part…
3. Growing YouTube Audience
The number one comment from YouTube Automation naysayers is “it’s too saturated”
Yes, there are more channels starting every single day
But there are also way more users joining the platform
Between 2022 and 2023, YouTube added over 100 million new users
That means more eyeballs on the platform translating into more:
Views
Subscribers
Income
Saturation is only an issue when there isn’t enough demand to meet the supply
As the chart shows, that isn’t a problem
The only problem is not starting
If you haven’t this is your reminder
If you have, keep going…
Until next week,
Adam
