The Most POWERFUL YouTube Lesson No One Will Tell You
Learn this and everything will make sense
Have you ever heard the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree?
If you haven’t, it goes a little something like this
Bamboo trees are slow-growing in nature
You have to care for them for years and during that time seemingly nothing happens
Nothing happens for so long that many people give up on their trees and stop trying to grow them all together
However, in the 5th year of the bamboo tree, it explodes in growth
Being able to grow to up to 80 feet in just six weeks
Crazy, right?
Whether you realize it or not, the same notion applies to YouTube
On YouTube, especially as a beginner, nothing happens
Then nothing continues to happen as you work your way through the learning curve
Then, all of a sudden, you start putting the pieces together and next thing you know…
Takeoff!
That’s what happened to my Tube Academy Student James
He was putting in the work but was just missing that key ingredient that allowed his channel to take off
When that ingredient was added, here’s what happened:
James echoes this lesson in his comment in the community:
“It took me 32 bad to mediocre videos to get 519 subscribers and then the 33rd video took off, got 80k views and so far has got me to 1.65k subscribers! So, in short, keep working and improving. You're only one good video away from getting monetized!”
First off, congrats to James as this is a massive achievement
It takes the average YouTuber 152 videos to get monetized
And James did it in just 33 videos
But more importantly, he stuck with it and has now unlocked a new income stream for him to enjoy this summer and into perpetuity
So keep watering your YouTube tree and good things will happen
Until tomorrow,
Adam
Ps. I am accepting a few new Tube Academy students. If you want the details reply “tube” to this email.
