We've built four YouTube channels, one to over a million subscribers,
and we're helping dozens of creators build channels that actually make money. If I had to start over with zero audience,
knowing what I know now, this is the exact road map I would use to launch a profitable channel. So step one is when we develop our channel strategy.
I think that the worst advice out there is to just pick a niche and start posting content. And to understand why that is, we have to revisit how the algorithm actually works. So if you're a brand new channel, your channel has no data before. So YouTube doesn't really know who's gonna watch your content yet. So the first thing that it actually does is picks a few people based on, like, the metadata of your content of who to show it to. So let's say you're making a channel that helps business owners.
We have the blue people here. These people are the restaurant owners. So they run like a brick and mortar physical location
trying to get people in to buy their food. These pink people, SaaS founders. Right? They're building software. And then these yellow people over here, they sell online courses.
They're all running a business. So YouTube suggested this video to all three of them. That's an impression. They saw the video on their page, but only one person actually clicked on it to watch it. So this was a good match, and that sent signals to the algorithm like, hey, we need to find more people like this. We need to find more blue people. So what happens when you publish your next video? Right? Let's say your next video is about how to get customers into your restaurant. It's gonna try to show it again to this person, and now it's gonna think, can I find other people who are like this blue person? And so YouTube is gonna try to show the video, maybe this crowd. The blue people, they both own restaurants,
so they're gonna wanna know how to get more customers into their restaurant. Whereas this person, what was this, a a SaaS founder? The SaaS founder doesn't have a restaurant, so he's not gonna care. So they're not gonna click on the video. They're gonna fall off. But now YouTube is seeing, oh, I'm getting more signal that this is probably the better fit audience for this channel. And it it just keeps going like this. Now there's a third video, and now it's gonna show it to these people and all these people are gonna click on it on-site. This that's just perfect content market fit right there. And it's not even gonna really try to show it to the SaaS founders or the online business or the online course creators or whatever because it knows that they're probably not gonna click on it. So your job when you're making videos for your channel, basically the same job as the YouTube algorithm. Your job is to predict what is the next video that this group of people are going to want. So if you understand how the algorithm works, it actually makes creating a channel strategy so much easier. Because all you have to do is just make videos for this person, right, like this exact person, which is opposite of what a lot of advice out there, to pick a niche and make content. Everybody here is in a business niche. These are all business owners, but not all of them wanna watch your content. And so if you try to make content that's very broad and for all of these people, it's not likely that they're all gonna keep coming back. The algorithm's not gonna really know who actually wants to watch your content. So the more specific you can get, the faster your channel actually grows. It's also a lot easier. If we had to start over, I would not think about the niche at all, and I would focus instead on what is the transformation
of the person you're trying to reach. Right. We throw that word around a lot, but people ask us, like, what does it mean to focus on a transformation?
You're basically teaching someone how to go from point a to point b. Yeah. Basically, the way I think about transformation
is that you wanna transfer
something in the form of either skills or beliefs. Right? You wanna change their mind about something, and you wanna give them skills so they can do something different. So transformation, really, you're helping someone do something differently. That's the whole point. So quickly, some examples of that. Let's just use this one really quickly. Instead of saying I make content in the business niche, right, I'd help sushi restaurant owners Mhmm. Get more customers. That is very clear transformation,
what they're gonna be able to do, and how they're gonna think differently about where do I get my fish from. That channel is so clear. And if I was a sushi restaurant owner, I would come back there. This is, like, the most important piece about YouTube is really knowing who your content is for. And we actually made a free AI tool, which you can find a link in the description below. Ten minutes. It's gonna give you a very clear transformation based on your skills and your experiences. So now that we know the transformation of our channel, the next step is what kind of content do you make for that person? Right? Which brings us to step number two. So if these are stepping stones to go from point a to point b, then what these all represent are big problems that people may run into if they're trying to go down this journey. If this channel is for restaurant owners, then what are the big problems they're gonna encounter on their journey to building a profitable business? They're probably gonna need customers. Definitely should make videos about how they can get more customers. Yeah. How to make better tasting food. Yeah. I probably have them make videos on how to make better tasting food. They probably need to get ingredients at a cheap price. I guess what you're trying to say is each of these people who are watching this content, if they are actually trying to build a restaurant, they're gonna run into, oh, crap. I need to get better customers. I need to make my food taste better. And so if they see your videos, they're gonna watch them because you're helping them solve that problem. So all of these steps are actually just problems that they have, and your videos just help them solve that problem. With that in mind, I think that the smartest type of channel, if you wanna make money from YouTube and you also wanna find the algorithms fit for your content, is to make educational content. Because educational content literally is designed to teach someone something to help them solve a problem. It's the easiest kind of channel to make too. And I think this is, like, a really good, like, filter to run through.
Only make videos that help in one of these steps. Clients do this all the time. Like, hey. I wanna make the video about, like, a vlog of my time going to this event and talk about my experiences. And I gotta reel them back. I'm like, does that solve one of these four problems?
If it's a no, then don't make it. Otherwise, you're gonna like, again, going back to the algorithm. You're gonna confuse the algorithm. You're gonna be like, is that video for this person who wants to vlog stuff? If it then you're gonna get them in to watch now, and then the algorithm's gonna try to show it to more of those people, and then it's gonna be confused. The smartest thing you can do is to just keep hammering the same stuff over and over and over. And to your point though, like, you're making YouTube videos, you are on some level a creative person Mhmm. And so you want to have more variety. You wanna show that you're a more well rounded person. Mhmm. Right? So then what do you do in that case? I mean, like, I'm totally okay with being creative and exploring different formats,
but you have to give them the solution to the problem they have. As long as it's doing this job and this person still would get value out of it, then you're on the right track. But if it doesn't do that, then it's not. Like, if this business owner here made a wanted to make, like, a I wanna help these business owners be more productive, they can do a video about being more productive if it helps this specific person be more productive. Now a lot of people do wanna be creative though, and they're gonna get bored with making the same thing over and over and over. So what would you do in that case? Just because these are the four steps doesn't mean that you only talk about four things. It actually means that these are the four starting points. Something we teach in our program called the tree method. These are like the four starting branches, but underneath these, there is unlimited topics. So let's say this first branch here, how to get more customers for your restaurant business. There are so many different videos that you can make on this branch. How to get more customers
through YouTube, how to get more customers using AI, how to get more customers through word-of-mouth.
The list goes on and on. If you're really good at what you do, you can talk about this topic for hours and hours and hours for hundreds and hundreds of videos. And as long as it's still connected to this main branch, then it's still helping this target audience. And even to that, there are multiple permutations for each of those that you set too. If you wanna help someone get more customers through YouTube, there are many different types of videos that you can create that show someone you can help them get customers through YouTube. You can bring, like, one of your clients onto your show and then help them, like, with a coaching session. We call that, like, a fixer. This is the best kind of video editing style to get customers. This is the best YouTube channels to follow
for getting more customers. There's this infinite amount of content in every horizontal that you can make too. But not all content is created equal. The better question to ask is which content would your audience actually click on? And that brings me to the sponsor of today's video, one of 10. I have been using one of 10 religiously on this channel and all of our other clients' channels for the past two years. It allows you to discover videos that are over performing right now on YouTube, which are called outliers.
More on that later. Let's say, for example, like that sushi restaurant owner in one of 10, I can search the keyword best way to make sushi and find only the bangers. I can also click on filter and organize it by outlier score, views, subscribers, and how recent the upload was, and narrow my search even further. This is my favorite feature by far. If you find a cool idea, you can click on similar titles or thumbnails and find more similar ideas to that one, or use Niche Explorer to see other similar channels and become an expert in your industry for what's hot right now on YouTube. So if you wanna spend less time guessing what actually works on YouTube, then check the link in the description below. You can get a thirty day trial of one of 10 for just a dollar. So this is the backbone of your content strategy. What transformation you're helping your audience achieve,
and what topics should you cover. But there's still one more piece in the strategy that we have to get right if we wanna make this successful, which brings us to step number three. So in 2026, it's never been easier for anyone to start making content. And that being the case, we're seeing a lot of new channels pop up. There are probably going to be several other competitor channels, as you call them, also helping this exact person. And I think that's the wrong question to ask. It's not why should they watch your channel instead
of these other channels. It's why should they watch your channel as well as these channels. There's actually no such thing as competitors on YouTube. Everybody is working together. We're all friendly channels. Right? We're all allies in this. So let's say all these people are joining in on this conversation
about how to build a good sushi restaurant, but they all have different opinions. Right? And then this person says, oh, you have to you have to serve tuna. Right? Or this person, you you have to serve albacore or whatever it is. So everyone's got their own point of view. Right? Their own POV.
Now you,
as someone who is joining in on this conversation, right, this is you, you can't just go in there guns blazing and just copy what everyone is saying because that will, a, like, that's not ethical to do, but that will just make you blend in with everyone else. What you need to do is come in here and actually contribute something to the conversation. And by contributing, this means that you're adding something new. Yeah. So you may ask, like, what are examples of POV? I consume a lot of business content. So, obviously, I know a lot of different POVs on business in this space. I will say for one example, one extreme, you have the business guys, the gurus like Gary Vaynerchuk or Alex Hormozi, who their POV is you just have to outwork everybody. You just gotta hustle. You gotta wake up at, like, four in the morning, and you just gotta do way more reps than everybody else if you wanna win. That's their POV about how to be successful in business, and a lot of people are gonna resonate with that. But then you have on the other side people like Tim Ferriss who says, oh, no. He wrote a book called The Four Hour Workweek. You can work way less and live this nice nice lifestyle and still make this big positive impact. A lot of people are gonna resonate with that too. And so they're also gonna build a different kind of following around that idea, that perspective. There's probably, like, 20 different more POVs just in, the business space. You know, Cody Sanchez has a different one. Dan Martell has a different one. Dan Coe has we have a different one. Those are all different POVs for helping a business owner, a specific way, solve their transformation. Your POV is the main differentiator
for your channel for how people are gonna remember you. And the way that you come up with your POV is you really have to look back and study who you are and where you came from. Like, what is the reason why Alex Ramosy talks about hustling all the time and suppressing your emotions and all that stuff? Because that's what that is the life that he lived. So he has the right to talk about that. But you can't just show up and just adopt any random POV. Your POV needs to make sense with the life that you lived, who you are, what your credentials are, what you've gotten results with. There's a whole list of things that you need to think about. And so, again, I'm gonna call back to that that free tool that we that we built. In just ten minutes, you can dive into your entire backstory and figure out what is the transformation and what is the POV that you can be known for. So phase one was all about
strategy. But obviously, we can't just have a strategy. You actually have to execute on that strategy. So phase two now is all about making the actual content. So the biggest reason people fail here is that they try to go from zero to a 100 way too fast. Like for example, we did this ourselves. Right? When we're first starting off, we didn't really know how to make videos all that well. Like, I was watching Peter McKinnon a lot. You were watching Matt D'Avella.
Right? Dude, those two guys have been making films for a very long time. And so we thought, oh, the only way to succeed is if we just go from zero all the way to 100 what they're doing at that time without even thinking that they took years to even get to that point. But we didn't know any better. I spent months just watching like all these obscure tutorials about like how to get, like, you know, rolling pan shots and how to get, like, cinematic lighting and all that stuff. In the grand scheme of things, that doesn't really matter for YouTube. I wasted
so much time learning all that stuff. I wouldn't say it doesn't matter. It's just in the wrong order.
Right. And that's not what we need to learn at that time. I mean, there are many times when I thought about just giving up. Right? Like, this is way too hard. Why are we spending weeks just filming a single video and then weeks more just editing the video? If you're starting from zero, that's not the most important thing you should focus on. And so the goal actually is to make more videos at first to train the algorithm before you know, do I invest in going from, like, 50 to a 100? How do you just go a smaller step to start validating that this channel's gonna work? Right. So if we had to start over, we would start our channel by only making simple videos.
And the best way to do this is to follow this process. This is something we call MVP,
which stands for minimum
video process. Okay. So what does the minimum video process actually look like? First, we want to list out all the individual steps that it takes to actually produce a video. So you come up with the idea for the video. Next, you package the video. Next, you script the video, and you film, and then you edit. That is the order that all videos are created in. Now the interesting thing is this is actually the same order that someone consuming your content. If someone sees your content and they don't like the idea of it, it doesn't seem interesting to them, they're obviously not gonna click and watch. If the title and thumbnail, the packaging doesn't look interesting, it's low quality, they're not gonna click. If the script of the video, the hook of the video, the actual story you're telling isn't interesting, they're not gonna stick around. If you filmed it in, like, a dark room and they can't even see your face or hear you, they're not gonna watch it. And if they didn't edit it well, it's not gonna retain them either. But those steps also go in order for how someone interprets and consumes your content. And that order is the most important part of the MVP. It means that coming up with the idea is way more important than editing the video. If people don't click on your video, then they're just not gonna watch it. So the steps at the top carry way more weight. That is why we visualize the MVP
like a pyramid. The top here is the most important, and then each subsequent layer is less important, which is kinda backwards to how a lot of people think about YouTube because you're making videos. Right? So everyone thinks, oh, how am I gonna edit my videos? What am I gonna my videos to look like? Right? That's all I always say. How should they look? Should they be cinematic? Should they be whatever? We're And always like, dude, who cares? What is it about? What is the idea of the video? What what what's the title thumbnail gonna be? And they're like, oh, like, I'm I'm gonna go film this and do this. I'm like, I don't care. Like, what is this? These are the most important pieces because if they don't click, they don't watch. So what this pyramid allows us to see is a concept called the eighty twenty rule. What are the few things that you can do for your video that will get the most results?
And those few things, that 80%,
is right here. So, yeah, so if you were starting a new channel, I would just focus all my effort on the minimum video process right here, making a lot of videos with good ideas and good packaging. And the whole point of doing that is, if you call back to the first part, to train the algorithm faster, to start calibrating it to the type of person that they actually wanna watch. And when we get that signal that people like the content, then you can start boosting some of these other areas up. So let's go ahead and break down what does
minimum
look like for each of these steps. So the way that I would approach and the current way that we approach YouTube is in a very data driven way. We've found that creators who focus on data driven approaches grow way faster, make way more money, and also build good systems so they keep doing it for for the long haul. When you're coming up an idea, don't just guess. So from the first part of our strategy, we already know what topics or these steps, remember, we're gonna make videos about. They're all gonna be about some of these steps here. We shouldn't just make those videos yet. This is still, like, a hypothesis. Now we wanna go out and look for content from other channels and other creators about those topics that have done really, really well. These are called finding outlier ideas. So you're gonna find, let's say, like, three or four videos on YouTube from other channels that, like, blew up, that did really well, and they're kinda recently uploaded. If those ideas exist, you know right now that there's signal on YouTube that those ideas are hot. Right? Those ideas are worth pursuing. Your job now, once you found those ideas, is how do you kinda like match them up or pair them up to some of the steps that you've already identified?
If this works, if you can pair them up like this, that's a good video to pursue. And if you can't match it up, that's probably not a good idea for you to explore. And I would only make videos if you compare them up like that. That's how you find ideas for your channel. What does minimum packaging look like? And packaging meaning title and thumbnail. You wanna do packaging
immediately after you come up with the idea. Right? Too many people, they
create the entire video, and then they go back and retroactively try to come up with a title and thumbnail for their video. Why is it that some videos have terrible looking thumbnails, like, just objectively
ugly? Or, like, they're just not following any design or principles and yet the video is still doing so well. Like what is the reason for that? The most important part about the packaging is that tells the viewer this video is for them. If you're already finding topics
that you know your viewers want, you still need to package it in a way that they
would be receptive to it. So sticking to the example of these sushi restaurants. The most obscure,
like, how to flash freeze
your salmon and get it across the Atlantic Ocean or whatever. Like, there's there's some special framework
that you wanna make your title and thumbnail about. People are probably not looking for that idea. They're probably not scrolling through and be like, oh, shoot. I need to learn about this method now. They're not waking up in the morning thinking this is gonna solve all my problems. What they're actually thinking in their head, how do I get more customers? How do I make my food taste better? So you gotta speak their language as well. So what you're saying is when you find those outlier ideas on YouTube, you don't wanna just copy them directly. You wanna frame around the problems that you're trying to solve and if you don't know how to take good photos of yourself. And so really what I would do is not try to create too many too much variety in the types of thumbnails that you do. Just if you can, even, like, get a friend or someone to just take a whole bunch of headshots of you in one day, in one spot, and then just kinda reuse those same ones over and over and over. What we do now, we just have this nice background, and we basically all of our thumbnails look the same. You know? Even though our channel's at 1,300,000 subscribers, we still use an MVP process for our thumbnails. We don't use any, like, crazy editing. We don't go outside or, like, try to get, like, this drone shot of us doing anything special. They're all kind of the same. And the cool thing is they all keep working. Because if you start to keep doing that over and over and over, then people start to become familiar with the style of your thumbnails. Now also to be honest, thumbnails are one of the most difficult things about YouTube, because if you don't have any design skills, it's gonna be tough. Now if you're not a designer and learning Photoshop seems harder than astrophysics,
which trust me, it is,
you're in luck. Tons of creators have already mastered the psychology and art of thumbnail design. And with one of TEN's new AI thumbnail generator, you can steal those and add your own personal flavor. My favorite way is upload reference image of yourself and then tell the AI, let's say I'm working on a video about becoming a sushi chef. And so make me a sushi chef in thirty days, and what kind of thumbnails would you get from it? Not so bad. And I love how it also understands your channel because it sees your data, so it puts you in the right environment. I guess our studio kinda looks like a sushi restaurant. You can also use a reference image of yourself and then sketch out a crude idea,
as you can see, I'm a very talented artist,
about what you want your thumbnail to look like, describe it exactly in words, and then see what it comes out with. And look at this, a beautiful image of me with a YouTube logo. Or let's say that you found a different thumbnail from another creator, you're like, man, this looks amazing. I want that for myself. You can actually upload both images and face swap yourself into that original thumbnail
and have it have your own background. No Photoshop skills needed. This is a fast and efficient way to get ideas out quickly, especially for focus on that MVP process.
Out the link in the description below to get thirty days for just $1 of one of 10. So now what is the minimum
process for scripting?
In this whole process, I would say that the one that perfectionists get stuck at the most is with the script, because they think that they need a word for word to write the entire script of the YouTube video out before they film it. There's only one place that you do I do recommend word for word scripting, and that is the hook of the video. Those first twenty, thirty seconds of the video, just to make sure that the video is actually for the person that you're trying to reach, Write that word for word, memorize it, and then say it to the camera. For the rest of the video, I would just do, like, a structured outline. Get the ideas out that you wanna cover, and then you can even have bullet points. You can have, you know, an iPad next to you or, you know, your notes next to you, and then just be yourself
on camera. Yeah. I totally agree with that. And I think another big reason why people
get so stuck on the script is because they want to just include everything. And so instead of giving, like, just five talking points, they wanna cram everything into their video. They don't wanna miss a single thing, and so they cram, like, 15 talking points in there. And then the video gets way too long, and then when they get to filming, they dread it. That is way too much work. Focus on just answering
what the main idea is of the video. And the reason this works really well, for the fact that YouTube is moving in a direction now where authentic creators or being more human is an advantage again. So that's the script of the video. Now let's move on to actually filming the video, what we call, like, the video production. So, again, focusing on just minimum video process, what does that look like? I would say three things. First, most important, audio. Your audio has to sound good. I know everyone says YouTube is a video platform, but if our goal is to make educational content, we are helping someone solve a problem, they need to understand you. I mean, I tolerate watching, like, slow buffering videos on YouTube on my phone at, like, 07:20 p or, like, 05:40 p. You know? I'll still watch it because I can understand what's happening. But if I can't hear it or the audio is bad, I won't even tolerate it. The next thing to invest in is lighting. Two ways to do lighting. I would just highly recommend getting a softbox light or, like, some soft lighting. Soft lighting is just way more flattering for your face, makes you look beautiful, makes you look pretty, versus using hard lighting or natural lighting. Natural lighting is just unpredictable. If you're sitting outside and filming and then the sun moves throughout the shot or something, the lighting's gonna change on your face. And so it's very noticeable in edits. Like, if you wanna move a section around, now the whole lighting's just screwed up. If you just invest in a light, block out all the windows and stuff, you can get pretty far with just that. And the last thing, you wanna be able to film at four k. That's all I'll say. It doesn't matter what kind of camera. Honestly, nowadays, most iPhones and most phones can film at four k, so I would just start there. Don't worry about investing in a, like, a Sony FX three or six thousand,
you know, dollar camera yet. Alright. Now on to editing.
What does the minimum process look like for editing? Because you can really get carried away with this process. Unfortunately, it is the smallest layer in this pyramid too. Yeah. I would say for editing, again, same thing as we're seeing as a pattern for all this. Start to finish is where the effort should go. So most of the effort in your editing should go in the hook, in the front, in the first minute or two, and it can get less and less grandiose as you go throughout the video. A 100% of the people who click on your video are gonna watch the first second. By thirty seconds into the video, the average retention on YouTube, half of them drop off, which means that everything you do after thirty seconds in the video, less and less people see. So it doesn't make any sense for a lot of people we work with who do this crazy animation motion graphic or find all this b roll for a five second moment at the end of the video, they spend hours there, you know, trying to make that perfect. But no one's gonna see it because when you think of big like, I I don't like Lord of Rings, for example. The most epic part is near the end of the video because it's building to this climax moment. So we think that, oh, our videos need to do the same thing. They need to, like, start slow and then get more epic and intense. Yeah. We wanna respect
the the person watching the channel. We need to give them the good stuff up front. Yeah. Well, the difference is that people don't normally
just get up and leave out of a movie theater after they pay for the ticket. Right? Like, very, very few people do that. It's so easy to just click away from a video and instantly go to a different video. That doesn't cost you anything. And in fact, people are thinking in reverse. My sunk cost fallacy says I don't wanna waste any more time with this bad video. Mhmm. So I'm just gonna click on the next one. So this is the exact minimum video process you should make to launch your channel. And I would actually keep doing this, let's say, for the first, like, 20 videos on your channel. And I'm saying 20 videos because this is about the average we've seen it take for the channel to start working. And what what I mean by start working is the algorithm has now found the right person to match your content to, and they're coming back consistently to the channel. But if anytime during that process you do get a video to, like, take off, you know, and it starts working, it's really, really important what you do next, which is what brings us to the next step of the process here. So during the first 20 videos that you make, you're gonna start posting content. Let's be honest. If you're new to this, most of the first videos you make are gonna be bad. That's just reality because you're not good enough yet, you don't have the skills, and also the algorithm is not matched. But I promise you, if you followed the minimum video process that we showed you, some of them are gonna start working. And I would say, like, a good cadence to shoot for here would be a video per week. Right? That gives you enough momentum and gives enough content so your audience doesn't get bored and forget about you. If you can do more, great, but don't don't push it. I would just take a a video a week. Right? Yeah. And also, if you're taking longer than a week to make one video, then I would say you're spending too much time. Okay. So let's say this one tanked, this one flopped, this one didn't do well, but this one did well. So of this first sample size of five videos that you made, you had one that did pretty good. And pretty good can also be relative. I'll say that. If your channel is getting, like, 30 views and then this one gets, like, a thousand views, that's enough signal to say, okay, something about this video did well. The smartest thing you can do, if you remember back to our strategy, if people liked something that we did, we wanna do is just give them more of what they like. So the smartest thing you can do is kinda stop making more videos if you have more videos already planned out in your strategy. Figure out what was different about this one here. That's the whole point of this step, which is like the optimization of your strategy. So optimizing a strategy means when things start working, we wanna understand why they did well so that we can kinda repeat that success. It comes back to the minimum video process. Right? You go through each one of those steps. How did you package the video? Maybe the way that you packaged it resonated. How was your hook? Did that hook really speak to your audience, the way that you filmed, the way that you edit, all those things were good enough. And so that is like the baseline of what your video should be, and your videos should only go up from there. Try to figure out like, what was the structure, what was the format, what are the techniques that you used in the video, and try your best to just replicate that same thing. Yeah. Replicate like what the video looked and felt like, but you can do it for a different topic, a different one of those steps that you identified, but just recreate that similar style of video because that's what people liked. So what you do is you try to evolve from that video. And let's say this one also did pretty good. This is literally the game of YouTube. And not only are you giving your audience what they want, you're also, again, just training the algorithm further that not only does this channel cover these topics, but they do it in this particular way. When you can get both those axes right, the topic and this style, this format, that is when we see channels really start to take off. But obviously, you're not just, like, making videos and then crossing your fingers and praying that you're gonna get something to take off. There is something you should be doing in between each video here. If you're treating this as like a trial period. Right? Like, think about it like like a science experiment.
You want to make sure that something
is improving
from video to video, and that's why we usually
don't recommend that people batch their first videos. Right? Because you probably don't know what you're doing yet, and you probably don't know what direction to go yet. And so if you batch five videos,
and the first video just happens to be like completely
in the wrong direction, then what did you just do? You just made five videos in the wrong direction. So do one video at a time and really optimize for each MVP process.
Now if you follow all of our steps up to this point, there's something so underrated about finding the right transformation,
and we did not take advantage of this when we first started out. Here's what not to do. What we started out was just doing a bunch of topics that we wanted to do. Right? So we had a video about blood pressure. We had a video about magnesium
supplements. We had a video about note taking apps. Like, it was really all over the place, and we thought we were improving.
Once our first video started taking off, all these videos were still just dead in the water. So that's what not to do. Right? So what you should do is from day one, decide on a transformation
and try to match it up as best as you can. So one of our clients, we had the plan of just make 20 videos. And by video number six, that video just started taking off. Right? It finally got some traction. But the cool thing that happened was that all his other videos that he made prior to were also getting pushed by the algorithm. Yeah. That really just goes to show the sequence here that we laid out. You have to go in these steps in order. And if you do this strategy,
it's only a matter of time in those first 20 videos that if you get something to take off, the rest of your back catalog is just gonna see this huge lift. And that's how we've seen so many channels build like a real business and asset because everything is so clear in who it's for. The first thing you have to do after watching this video is go check that link below and figure out what your transformation's gonna We I made an AI tool. It's completely free. Ten minutes. You're gonna know exactly where to start. And once you figure that out, then definitely check out this video right here. It's gonna give you the next step to making really high quality videos.
