Also I am going to go live today on YT for the first time so if you want to join it will be at 3:00pm GMT+2. I can't stay long - only a half hour or so, but I want to test it! It's time to jump!

Let’s share some of our favorite books that have fed into your success!

Some of you have seen my post probably about having a goal for this year to make 100k in income from my first year as a content creator and to achieve 100k Subscribers by Oct. 2025. However, the 100k Subs, was not sitting well with me, so I went to my mentor and asked his opinion. Here is an excerpt from a call with him. I thought you mind find it interesting because it speaks to understanding your vision and aligning your goals with that vision, as well as some YouTube strategy for going more viral with videos. Let me know if this was helpful for you. Happy Friday everyone! https://www.loom.com/share/469922860d56417fb1d71562b95be085?sid=7b109e9a-501e-4d13-855a-0537ad9a1fc3

You guys! I am pretty darn excited! You hear "It only takes one video" all the time and you want to believe it…. Well, I just had one. My channel is tiny, I mean the most views I have gotten is maybe 30-40 views in 2-3 days. My most viewed video had about 60 views and is 6 months old. Then I started posting regular (1-2 videos per week) about 4-5 weeks ago. Still crickets. I would get about 40 views. Where in the world was this algorithim I kept hearing about? Then…Last night about 6pm I posted my latest video. I immediately realized it was acting a little different than my usual posts. It got like 50 views in the first hour. Wow! That's more than most all of my other videos have gotten period. Now it has been 18 hours later and I am pushing at 2000 views, I have went from 50 subscribers to over 150 subscribers and have gained 70 watch time hours just from this video. So, I know it isn't millions of views, but for my little channel, it's huge! It also helps with the motivation! I was beginning to think that YouTube was mad at me for some reason! :) Now, I have no idea what to do next, but man, this content creation sure is fun, isn't it? https://youtu.be/PI3Kuc6KRn8?si=FOM8RnKC8GahFELX

He is the first one of the intensive program to get monetized! Woohoo took just 8 weeks of working together to get him there! Matt has been awesome, testing different topics and styles of filming and finally found his sweet spot! He had a plan to give YouTube a year to start making money and when he didn't hit that goal he reached out and joined this program. I'm so freaking proud of him. He always has the best attitude and literally pours everything into his videos and editing them. So so so awesome! The first day of making money was Dec. 24th from ad sense. How timely is that?! :) Merry Christmas from YT. :) Just another exampe of how sticking with it and testing different strategies will get you there!!! Woohooo!!! And to encourage you all some more, I believe he is in a very unique niche - silver pouring. Anyone with a passion (and a market for that passion) can succeed! Bring it 2025 - we are ready!! @Silver Punk
