Black Friday was "exposed" for being a scam this year by a bunch of social media influencers.

- Are Black Friday deals really the best deals of the year?
- If you have a business, what are the best social media platforms to advertise on during black friday?

November 03, 2023 How To Make $1 Million Per Year on YouTube With The Less Than 10k Subscribers w/Sean Cannel of Think Media (Part 1)
If you have ever tried to post content online on and tried to grow an audience, you've realized something that pretty much everyone who's tried that has realized. . .

It's really hard to get people to watch your stuff and to follow you.

We're ultimately trying to build an audience so that we can make a side income or potentially even make a full-time income as a creator.

So the question is: how much of a following do we need to make the money that we want?

That's the exact problem we're tackling on today's episode.

Today's guest is Sean Cannell.

Sean has built the Think Media YouTube channel to more than two and a half million subscribers.

He's built a multi-million dollar business.

And the gauntlet I laid for him is:

"If you had to do a million dollars a year, with less than 10,000 subscribers on YouTube, how would you do it?"

Because building an audience is really hard, but it turns out making money is actually a little bit easier.

So, if you want to make money without having to build a massive audience, then this is the episode for you.

October 26, 2023 Successful YouTuber and Entrepreneur Reveals What He Would Do If He Had to Start Over
Today's guest is Ed Lawrence.

On his YouTube Channel Film Booth he teaches you how to make videos get boat loads of views.

And he practices what he preaches.

That channel has around 350k subscribers and the videos he posts there regularly get hundreds of thousands if not over a million views.

But there's a catch.

Ed no longer believes that YouTubers SHOULD be chasing hundreds of thousands of views.

In fact, he says that he believes most creators would have a better business, and be happier, with a smaller channel that does under 10 thousand views per video.

So, instead of asking him how to go viral. I asked him something else.

If he had to start over. How would he build a six figure income as quickly as possible on YouTube.

Here's what he said . . .

October 19, 2023How To Make Every Video Go Viral
Today's guest is Finn McKenty, the Creator Behind the YouTube Channel "Punk Rock MBA" Which has over 500k subscribers.

There is something incredibly unique about FInn that makes him one of the top creators on the platform.

EVERY VIDEO IS A BANGER

I do a lot of creator research, and most YouTubers with 500 thousand subs make plenty of videos that get under 10,000 views.

Not Finn.

Every single video he makes goes viral.

And it's not just on YouTube.

He does the same thing on Instagram, Twitch, and Twitter.

So - I had to have him on the pod to ask him about it.

And he told me his incredibly simple secret.

He also told me
How he grew an audience of over 500 thousand people in a niche where he had no authority
How to Avoid Burnout as a Creator
How He Makes Money
The Biggest Opportunities He Sees for Content Creators to Make Money
