The Truth About Making Money on YouTube
What the gurus don't tell you...
Whether you’ve yet to start your YouTube channel
You just recently started or you’ve been at it for years
Despite your desire to serve people like-minded to you
The truth is that you got into this game for one reason
To make some more damn money
And perhaps one of the reasons you started is because you see other people running YouTube channels
Flexing their fast cars and expensive watches online
Yes, those material good can definitely be the by-product of running a successful YouTube channel
But that’s not all it’s limited to
I know for a fact that you’ve never seen me show off expensive items
Why?
Because I really don’t own any
No $10,000 watches, no $100,000 supercars
My goal, and probably yours too is to simply make more to:
Stress less about money
Diversify how you earn
Speed up your financial freedom
The lambos can wait until after we never have to earn another dollar again
But, what do we do until that time?
How I like to look at channels is how they can cover off day to day expenses
For example, this one video has made $13,000
Right now I’m fortunate enough to have a relatively small mortgage payment of $1,000/mo
Therefore, releasing this one video covers all my mortgage costs for the year
Pretty sweet, right?
So, as you progress through your YouTube journey it’s fine to keep the larger milestones in mind
But celebrating the small income wins too
It could be a video covering this month’s groceries
Then another covers the costs of a trip
Eventually, if you stick with it you could have a channel covering all of your costs and more
But until then, just take things one milestone at a time
And enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
Best,
Adam
