Here's What NO ONE Tells You About YouTube Automation
You're making it harder to grow than it has to be...
YouTube Automation
Two words that have caught the attention of a plethora of people over the last few years
While sold as a “hands-off, fully automated” business model (which it is not)
It does offer tremendous flexibility for those who want to grow and monetize a YouTube channel
How? By outsourcing
The outsourcing aspect of YouTube Automation is well…the automation
And to the untrained ear it sounds great
I mean, who wouldn’t want to outsource all of their business’ work
While they rake in $1,000s every month, right?
And all it takes is setting up a profile on Upwork
Creating a job posting and selecting your favorite candidate
But here’s what no one tells you (except for me of course!)
Your goals as a channel owner and those of a freelancer are not aligned
Channel owner goal: Produce the highest quality video possible to attract and retain more viewers and grow and monetize
Freelancer goal: Produce most time efficient video to maximize income
Can you see where an issue can ensue?
This is where a lot of people struggle
They think that the freelancer has as much knowledge about YouTube as them
And hence can make the videos that will help move their channel’s forward
But in reality, they probably know more about video production than YouTube
And are more concerned with sending you an invoice than seeing your channel take off
This leads to the channel owner receiving a mediocre video from their team
That poorly performs leading to wasted time and money for the channel owner
That’s why, it’s your job to ensure the videos being produced on your behalf are more aligned to your goals (making the most highly engaging videos possible) than theirs (making videos an expeditiously as possible)
How do you do this?
Here are a few ways to make sure the videos you receive back hit the mark…
1. Train freelancers on style and video quality
2. Review deliverables and ask for revisions
3. Add incentizes based on video performance
These three actionable steps will instantly increase the quality of your team’s work
And allow your channel to grow faster!
Before we wrap up I have an announcement to make…
Right now, I am learning new pain points, strategies and niches in real time
And I don’t want to wait until the end of each week to share these insights with you
Therefore, from here on out I'll send you a daily email with one tip and make you one offer to grow YouTube channel
Juan used these to get his first YouTube channel monetized
Ian used them to scale his channel to $2,000+ per month
Nick used his channel to build a multiple six-figure book summary business
I will keep sending them until you unsubscribe or I get to write about your awesome story too. Whichever happens first.
Talk tomorrow!
