How We Created A Profitable YouTube Channel In Just 3 Months [Case Study]
Even if you hate Google, there is no denying that UA-cam is probably the best social network to be doing well on.
We spent a lot of time strategizing and thinking about how to get the most out of the platform while minimizing the drawbacks, and after 4 months our new channel already
👉 outperforms our 6-year-old UA-cam channel
👉 outperforms videos of many competitors that have hundreds of thousands of subscribers
👉 is profitable, even though we have a team doing a lot of the heavy lifting
So in this week's episode, we reveal everything we’ve done AND the complete outsourced production process that we’ve built for this new channel, so you can do the same.

For the longest time, we thought that while Instagram had a ton of users, it was a bit useless for business owners because you can't really put links anywhere when you post. But it looks like we were wrong. Today's guest, Sammie Ellard-King, has built a successful, growing online business in a very competitive personal finance niche, mostly from Instagram reels. And in this episode, Gael dives ...

I would love to see a UA-cam case-study from you guys in a niche outside of Internet Marketing. Now that will be epic!

    Interesting video guys. And thanks for sharing this. But I do feel like it's quite a scummy way of using other people's pictures for your own benefit. Just because you credit them, doesn't make it ok to take other people's images and just hope they don't find out. Another thing, using them on your website is 1 thing, but when people share them from your site to platforms like Pinterest, you get into a whole other legal situation. I'm not a lawyer nor expert on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ever comes back and haunt you. Especially since you're getting that much traffic.

She has a pretty active and supportive community too, and she shows up to engage which is not what most course creators do. Even in some high ticket courses I bought the actual person who sold it never shows up.

    • @AuthorityHacker
      @AuthorityHacker 20 днів тому

      I think niche selection aligns a lot more with what you’re already good at / what communities you’re a part of already. Or you can simply partner with people who have a skill you can help them monetize which is some of what we are exploring on our end. We’re the marketing specialists, we bring marketing to topic experts and help them monetize their skills and share the profit of that. There are tons of people who have something people want but have no idea how to promote it and make it a real business.

    great insight... 3 Kind of hook to optimize : Visual hook, Audio Hook, and text hook... often times, we SEO only do text hook on our content, if we also focus on visual hook on the page, it may will also drive more engagement and dwell time on the site...

  • @adamk8724
    @adamk8724 22 дні тому

    Note on posting location, for sure TikTok is really sensitive to this. Your content will be distributed initially based on the sim card country of origin, VPNs won't change that. Because of that your engagement will be atrocious. You can climb out of this hole, but it takes a lot of time. Tested it few months ago and maybe something changed since then, so before jumping in look for more info on how this works now.

    SUCH a great interview! Amazing job interviewing, and making sure everything was digestable, and also giving space and genuinely trying to understand and see the value of what Koray brings. I think it actually painted a more holistic picture of him than what is sometimes out there, where semantic seo is his backbone, but he's after the rankings just like all of us doing SEO. And also you for clearly coming in doubtful, but never letting either side be closed off. POWERFUL contribution to this arena!
