Here is question if i am coaching people on youtube growth(buidling their audience) and video editing how much should i charge them?

This is a message for Consultants. Specifically someone who sells coaching or a course to help people solve their problems. In 2022 I: - Spent two days in LA with Sam Ovens (on track to become billionaire) - Spoke with Alex Hormozi ($200m/year portfolio) - Spoke (and worked) with MrBeast (130m subscribers) - Spoke with Cole Gordon ($2,000,000/month) - Met Bas Slot in Lisbon twice ($1,000,000/month) My conclusion after all of this was simple: This industry is changing… The smartest people have noticed, and are already taking advantage of this shift. Everyone else will be left behind. Watch these clips (5-10 mins) to spot the shift. - Clip from Sam Ovens - Tweet from Alex Hormozi - Another tweet from Alex Hormozi - Clip from Cole Gordon (making $2m/m+) - Clip from All In Podcast (all four are Billionaires) - Clip from Alex Hormozi Watch those clips before reading on. They're short. Here's how I see things changing: - Direct Response → Brand - Ads → Content - Selling → Giving And to me, this is a GREAT SHIFT. Thank fuck this industry is FINALLY maturing. It's no longer enough to have flashy marketing and great sales skills. You have to build a brand. Over the past few months I’ve hinted at this shift quite a few times, and how I've used it to make $100,000/month profit (and sometimes even $90,000 in a day). I've made a: - 33 minute Loom video explaining this new model - 21 minute Loom video explaining how I got 600,000 subscribers using this model - Free course explaining how to build a great community - Loom video I sent to Alex Hormozi about using trends to grow an audience when he asked me to help him grow his YouTube - Notion page explaining the lessons I learned about YouTube growth from speaking with MrBeast - Google Doc explaining the content system that grows your audience in just two hours per week

- The old YouTube: Sensational, MrBeast copies, screaming, fast cuts, super-dense. - The new YouTube (or maybe not): Slower, authentic, human, Sam Sulek. SO... Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? I thought about it, and then came the insight. Let me try to put it down like an equation: Fast pace & editing - Cons: Less connection, videos feel empty and almost fake. - Pros: More entertaining, maintain more attention -> YouTube will favor them Slow Pace & Authentic - Cons: Higher risk of being boring, algorithm may not push your video - Pros: Real human connection, stronger community So... which one do you pick? The second. And the answer is easy: we're humans. For this reason the pro of human connection will win in the long run. I believe this is true from the creator's personal experience too. In the end, you're doing YouTube to live the good life, a happy life, a fulfilling one. And a job that creates real impact and connection will be more fulfilling and sustainable for the creator too. But... how do you deal with the videos being boring? How do you deal with the harsh reality of attention and of the algorithm's metrics? Something has got to die: Enter the EXTINCTION OF FILLER VIDEOS. I call "filler" videos that don't really have a valid reason to exist. They're there just because they get views. A story where nothing happens, a lesson where the concepts are obvious, etc. A filler video is not necessarily easy to make, and a great video is not necessarily hard to make. A video that takes 10 minutes to record where I talk about the top 3 principles in a book may be more valuable than a vlog that takes 3 days. I'm saying this because you've got to be careful about the metric that you use to classify an idea as filler or as great. So, the EXTINCTION OF FILLER VIDEOS. Filler videos can only survive thanks to editing and pace. If you take that away, then the video is boring. BUT IF YOU HAVE A GREAT IDEA, AND KNOW THE BASICS OF ATTENTION AND STORYTELLING, YOU MAY FIND SURPRISING SUCCESS IN BEING MORE HUMAN, SLOWER AND MORE AUTHENTIC.

Would love to hear what you high achievers and masters of productivity do to keep that momentum, stay disciplined and even get 1% better during the weekends! For some reason I always find myself being really productive during Mo-Thu, but as soon as Friday or Saturday starts I find myself binge watching Netflix shows until 3am and craving immediate gratifications. -Is it normal to have huge up and downs during the week? If yes, what is the highest leverage thing to do that still will get me 1% closer to my goals? -I sacrifice a lot right now(time with friends, dating, social media apps) so is there maybe a lack of socializing in my life that should be filled? -What do you guys enjoy doing during the weekends(day off, self care, reading and/or time with friends)? PS: My routine right now is I wake up and work on the most important task, go to the gym, breakfast, walk, work until I am physically not capable of doing more, dinner and go to bed between 10PM-12PM. PPS: I really don’t care about having a “balanced life” and just want to reach my goals for the upcoming years. What do you think about this approach?
