    Listened to Fastlane, Rat Race Escape, and Unscripted on Audible. Thank You!

    INTRO 
    To be honest the video on the website with the same women twice just wearing different wigs (and even the same cloths) in front of a green screen brings me uncanny valley vibes. From an outside perspective this looks rather unprofessional. The rest of the site seems fine to me (not looking for...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I got it day 1 when it came out as hard copy and also bought the audio book later (just forgot to post here until now). The best part is that it also depicts the downs of building a business. Books are usually biased heavily towards the results upside while GRRE doesn't leave out the struggle...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I can't believe I read it years ago but never commented here. I've read Unscripted first, which resonated with me the most. But Millionaire Fastlane explained the concept even deeper. All in all I would say Unscripted sparked the initial interest while MF helped to get me further into the rabbit...

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    TL;DR: 36 Sales, 1 refund, resulting in $3600 revenue before taxes. 8000 YouTube Subs, 380,000 views total and $1300 in ad revenue. Hey folks, it's been a while since the initial post so here's an update! After my last post I managed to have another video hit even harder with 120,000 views in...

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    I think the Mr. Beast retention is exactly what's missleading newcomers. He has hundreds of millions of loyal fans watching everything he does so it offsets all the casual watchers. Small channels have a lot more casual viewers. Especially if it's education-based since a lot of people will skip...

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    I think information about CTR is a bit misleading out there. You hear figures of 10% but that's only achievable if you're already rather famous IMO. My best videos hover around 5%, I got 3% CTR videos doing pretty well. In my experience retention is way more important. 50% is really strong (at...

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    Great to hear you're halfway there! For me the biggest push was a semi viral video with a provocative title and thumbnail (design things that need to stop!). But that success is also relatively short lived. It brought in viewers and sales but it died down. Older videos with searchable titles...

    Tutorial-time! Growing an audience based on my freelance jewelry design

    EXECUTION 
    That's interesting! I'm more at 2500€ after taxes with my course sales. Made around 1k extra on YouTube though via ad revenue. Since people are used to ads anyway why not cash in on them. I too want to create more courses, but I need to verify what customers actually want beforehand. The cool...

    Tutorial-time! Growing an audience based on my freelance jewelry design

    EXECUTION 
    Can you tell how much Skillshare pays for that amount of students watching? Would be interesting to compare it to having students pay for the course themselves, like my business model. Most of my income is still IT-freelancing and being an employee, the business grows but it's not yet reliable...

    Tutorial-time! Growing an audience based on my freelance jewelry design

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! I can totally relate, it's been a wild ride with ups and downs. I'm the kind of person to do something with passion for a few weeks or months and then I usually move on to something else for a while. It's hard to stay motivated once the novelty wears down. We can probably help each...

    Tutorial-time! Growing an audience based on my freelance jewelry design

    EXECUTION 
    Great to see you're back! I've created my own channel based around designing for 3D printing and 3D printing in general in the meantime. Sold a few (I think its about 25 now) courses for around $100 with that channel using Teachable. Even earned some "raving fans" with the tipps from Grahams...

    I am unable to record videos, I get too anxious

    MINDSET 
    Buy a teleprompter and write a script upfront. It upped my game from "trying to comprehend a full sentence on camera" to 70k views in 4 months. Read the script and practice moving your body way more than you think you should. Don't try to be like a home shopping TV presenter, be more like...

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    I have to thank you for making those calls happen! Hopefully the two cents I learned on YouTube will help your business grow as well.

    How I sell digital products with no ads using YouTube in less than 4 months

    EXECUTION 
    TL;DR: I’ve created a YouTube channel to gather an audience and sell online courses in the 3D printing niche. Started 4 months ago, got monetized last week. A few days before I launched my course about 3D modeling and already managed to sell 4 at $97 so far (EDIT: Up to 7 already). So today is...

    Weekly Meetup Accountability Call Megathread

    HOT! MEETUPS 
    It was indeed. Got monetized on Youtube, gained around 500 subs with one video. Also sold the first 3 of my 3D modeling course. I'm trying to join today if anyone wants some tipps for growing on Youtube. Will probably make a post in the near future. Just need to automate a few things still...
