I hit YouTube monetization in 3 months and 5 days👨‍💻 (Step 3)
Last August, I flew to Croatia without a plan. I had just graduated from state college and had a part-time job teaching Chinese kids English. But then I stumbled upon Naval's Teachings.📕
From there, I spent the next 12 months doubling down on my strengths, reading books, and improving my habits. When I saw come out of early retirement with a host of Naval content, I decided to take the leap of faith.🤷‍♂️
On September 14th, I posted my first YouTube video comparing my old commute to American high school with my new commute to German high school. Yesterday, I checked all the boxes for YouTube monetization.💸
I have been super lucky that there is a market for "American in Germany" content and that people like , , and Naval are on the internet, giving us the playbook of a lifetime.🏈
But at the same time, I put myself in a position to capitalize on that luck by following my curiosity— German, Stoicism, Persuasion, etc., and taking public risk under my own name.
"Make luck find you."🍀
Steps 4-5:
In 2022, I will launch my first online language learning course. I am considering two options:
"The last German class you will ever buy (for potential expats)" 🇩🇪
—How to leverage the internet to effortlessly teach yourself German without ever stepping foot in the classroom or country. OR
"English Mastery for German Native Speakers" 🇺🇲🇬🇧
—To teach German speakers how to effortlessly leap from intermediate to advanced English without ever stepping foot in the classroom or country.
Please DM me if you are interested in getting involved in the project or if you have feedback on the course ideas.
Thank you to Andrew for showing us what is possible! The value of this community is beyond words.
Feels like it works!🚀
