When I first jumped on YouTube, the grind was ugly. Dropping videos that barely hit double digits, stressing over if anybody was even watching. But I didn’t fold, I kept posting, kept learning, and kept leveling up my game. Now the channel is moving, views rolling in, subs stacking up. And the best part is I was able to withdraw something real from my monetized channel. That first payout hit different, it showed me this YouTube thing isn’t just talk, it can really work. It’s not an overnight thing, but consistency got me winning. If you’re on the grind too, stay patient and keep creating—your breakthrough might be closer than you think.

Hi Everyone! What a fantastic call! Hopefully you all found it valuable. Perhaps we can get him back for another call. 🙌 You can watch the replay here! Alex Parker Think Media Mastermind in Vegas (October 2025) : https://go.thinkmedia.com/think-media-mastermind-2025 p.s. Janet - Alex wanted me to tell you the following since he got cut off: that VidIQ and using AI are both fine for utilizing and crafting SEO it's just not something I live and die by when it comes to building my videos. It's more so a tool to help propel or perpetuate videos that need SEO like a potential review/trending topic/etc.

I thought I would use this holiday to get up early and record the video I thought about all night and couldn't sleep because of it. Then I realized when I heard the neighbors kids screaming and the loud music playing that I was wrong 😞. Hopefully they will get some down time before I have to go to my outing.

So I am doing research for a video and I was hoping to get your input. 👉 Which best describes where you are on your YouTube journey? Pick the option that fits you best and if you’d like, share more about your journey in the comments — I’d love to hear your story.

Following today’s call, I’m just posting for accountability. I have problems with consistency and I’m going to be on a beach in Spain for two weeks from Sunday so I need to batch record five videos before then. I’ll publish one today and then two a week for the next two. I don’t even need to edit four of them until next week. I’ll report back on Saturday to show my work.
