One year from today… What does success on YouTube look like for you? Be specific.

Hey BBU fam, the second section of the Beach Bum Method course is done and ready for you. The Finding Your Niche modules are now live in the classroom. We cover why most people get this wrong, how to pick a niche that actually makes money, how to validate your idea before you build anything, and how to find affiliate products worth promoting. No fluff. Just the stuff that actually matters before you start your channel. Head into the classroom and check it out 👇 https://www.skool.com/beach-bum-university-8364/classroom See you in there.

If you're struggling to figure out what to post on YouTube, this video is for you. I just dropped a new one showing how VidIQ's AI Chat plans a full month of content in minutes using real data from over a billion YouTube videos. Way better than ChatGPT for this — it actually knows what's working on YouTube right now. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPuSqQ8L12I Try it free with my affiliate link → 🔥 https://vidiq.com/bbuniversity Go in there, connect your channel, and have it plan 30 days of content for you. Then come back here and tell us what it came up with! 🏖️

Hey BBU fam, I just finished recording and uploading the first five modules of the Beach Bum Method course right here in the classroom. It covers who I am, what the Beach Bum Method actually is, why YouTube + Skool works, why authenticity beats perfection every time, and what realistic success looks like in this business. No fluff. No guru nonsense. Just straight talk. I'd love for you to go check it out and tell me what you think. What resonated? What's missing? What do you want me to go deeper on? Your feedback is going to shape the rest of the course — so don't hold back. 👉 Head to the Classroom tab and start with Module 1. David

A lot of people still think YouTube success means going viral. I don't. And neither does Declan O'Reilly. Declan is a GoHighLevel affiliate who reportedly makes around $150,000/month promoting essentially ONE product. What's interesting is that most of his videos aren't getting millions of views. Some only get a few hundred or a few thousand. Why? Because he's not chasing views. He's chasing buyers. He creates content for people who are actively searching for GoHighLevel, and when they're ready to sign up, they use his affiliate link. That's the same reason some of my highest-earning videos have never been my most-viewed videos. People don't search YouTube for "David's opinion." They search for products. And if your video helps them make a buying decision, you can earn commissions for years. If you're interested in affiliate marketing, YouTube, recurring commissions, or building a business around a handful of products you actually use, this interview is worth watching. 👇 I'll drop the video link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmwMEUd77fY&list=WL&index=1&t=3067s
