 What is up everybody? Welcome back to the channel man when you Shit, how do I even start this damn thing? It's like You have no I actually will not that you have no idea is just yeah, I guess you could yeah, I guess I could say that you have no idea like how fired up I was when I made my first cell on The internet bullshit that kind of started a long time ago, but but recently in the last few years when I really just Went all in which was 2016 When I went all in and started building a social media agency and then I tried I tried doing different things like on Shopify I tried building a Shopify store like just for a short super period of time, but um It was at that point. It was at that point which was like 2016 2016 into 2017 when I was just fired up about Now building something online because as you know on my other videos if you've been following following me for a minute I've been in the field of entrepreneurship for the past 20 years, right? I built businesses offline. I built businesses online, but it wasn't until 2016 when I when I sit when I when I've experienced a ton of stuff I experienced offline online Building it through leads building building a business through word of mouth I experienced so many different types of businesses and and also forms of marketing Since since damn near 20 years ago, right? But in 2016. I'm like dude enough is enough. I see the trend I see where this is all going I'm going all on all in with the internet and so at that point I started helping other businesses with their marketing with their social media marketing and with their with their online advertising, right? And so in 2017 is when I was like dude, okay I got this I got this whole or actually no not that I had it jam You know down packed at all. I didn't I didn't master it at that point at all I was just learning 2016 2017 But I was going after one niche and that was that and that's the same niche that niche that I focus on today With my agency my agency is my full-time hustle. That's what I do. You know all day is is bring clients aboard For my social media agency, but as I started it in in this specific niche, I Also want I also thought a branching out and I'm like dude, okay So I'm gonna offer them marketing services and then on the back end I'm gonna start a Shopify store and I'm going to start marketing T-shirts to them and so that's what I started in in 2017 It didn't last long at all because after I started learning Shopify I'm like, how no dude like this profit margin sucks Like I'm not gonna put all this to sell a t-shirt and make ten dollars, right? How many t-shirts do I need to sell per day to really make a good profit, right? And so those of you that are building Shopify nothing against it, but at the same time or just e-commerce in general Nothing against it, but damn you got to be selling a ton of products physical products, right to make any kind of profit like And and and and that's why businesses like Amazon they crush it Because they're not making there they're not they're not and and even offline companies like Costco selling physical products These companies crush it Amazon Costco for example They don't crush it off of the products that you're purchasing They crush it off of the monthly membership that everyone's paying for right Amazon Prime you're paying for that monthly auto ship Amazon audible you're paying for that monthly auto ship Costco you're paying for that monthly membership They make their money on that back end right because the profit margin on a physical product on the internet is Is not that much and so long story short man the reason why I'm even telling you all that is because I'll never forget when I sold my first t-shirt on Shopify To a total stranger online didn't know who it was obviously yeah name phone number I got their billing information from a transaction on the internet, but as far as that I don't know who the hell that was But I remember making that sell selling a t-shirt and At the end of it all yeah, my profit was probably seven bucks But I got so fired up dude. I got so fired up In fact if you really dig deep and you go back to my very first videos That videos on there that videos on there where I'm starting a Shopify store where I'm looking in a Shopify that those videos are on there But there's just a few because it didn't last long at all because I went all in with my agency I started per you know crushing it and closing a lot of deals closing a lot of clients on with my agency that was all 2017 and then I just started taking it from there Focusing on that focusing on that one niche and it wasn't e-commerce anymore But I would I'll never forget how fired I thought how fired up I was man to start making money online like like Like you have no idea because my whole my whole background comes from entrepreneurship and building shit But it wasn't selling shit. It wasn't selling. I wasn't although I came across the internet in 1999 2000 2001 what I was trying to crack the code on and with my what with my business partners my mentors that were around me I had a strong circle of influence Around me where these these these dudes actually lived in my area. It wasn't what we have today on this online virtual Relationship type of building type of shit. It was no, these were friends of mine that actually lived, you know a mile away from me Guys that I was growing up with that 19 years old 20 years old 21 years old 22 23 24 We're trying to build a business at that time but what we were doing is we were trying to crack the code on lead capture on on on on running ads online and Also buying leads from other lead brokers who were running ads online, right? So we were we're I was more on that side of it all I wasn't Pushing us a store or an online website and selling a physical product, you know, I mean and then and then after that into the into into my mid 20s into late 20s That's when I ended up crushing it and building a seven-figure business Offline right didn't have to do with the internet at all. I had a call center. We were selling software a Partner and I started it from literally my bedroom and grew it into a 50 employee Office here in San Diego where people would report every day at 9 a.m Right and and I had a call center and we were crushing it and we were closing cells and we made a lot of money Just me and my partner Coming from nothing making a ton of money and then also being so young and dumb Losing a lot of money, right? We made we spent it just as much just as fast as we were making it And we were making it every damn day, right? Just traditional business not not online just a traditional freaking brick and motor and that's where I learned a ton of shit man about people about business about numbers about Liabilities about overhead and expenses and payroll and we were freaking we were given 50 freaking people 50 art of our employees We were giving them all health insurance, right? It's like dude. We blew up so fast. It was it was ridiculous. We didn't know what to do so That didn't let that it that that that run was about a four to five year run and then and then after that I was like holy crap dude I don't ever want to do that again Like I don't ever want to have to build a business like that again where you have a ton of employees and you have a huge Office and and and you got these huge monthly expenses. Yes, you're making a ton of money Yes, you can cover the bills, but at the same time anything can happen and and and and if you're not smart Which we weren't at that time at all you'll get eaten up and we got eaten up But I truly believe everyone needs to get eaten up You got to be able to get hit and get right back up, right? You got to be able to get hit again and get right back up You got to be able to get hit again a hit again hit again hit again If you need to be able to be hit a million times and as long as you get up a million and one You win right? That's that's the crazy part about life man So those of you that are going through your trenches those of you that are going through your freaking darkest times I'm telling you man when you're going through hell Keep going. Don't just stop shit. You're gonna do what are you gonna do? Just stop in hell like no dude Keep going run through that shit. Keep going man because I'm telling you life this whole entrepreneurship journey It's all about falling down man And it's all about who can who can fall down and get back up and so as I got back up, you know After that run losing a ton and then and then and that was in 2010. I was done with that business 2010 is when I get is when I go into online marketing and Also mortgages and so that was a whole six-year run 2010 to 2016 crushing it in the mortgage industry Getting home getting people qualified and approved to purchase a home and we crushed it in that we were buying leads from Lead brokers who are running ads online, right? They would run ads for refinance. They'd run ads to buy a house People would opt in to their landing page my company. It wasn't my company. It's actually my best friend's company He's still my best friend to this day my first mentor Millions of dollars in mortgages. He still owns that company to this day in here in San Diego But it was his company, but he was he brought me under his wings He taught me everything about the industry and we dominated and so Um He continues to this day continues to buy leads Off of people who were running ads Online and so he just feeds his call center. He he feeds his he feeds his loan originators, you know leads all damn day and so I ran with them from 2010 to 2016, but I was Again, man. I'm an entrepreneur man. I've been an entrepreneur And so those of you that are in cells And those of you that are that actually really know cells and those of you that work for someone, right? You can only make so much by selling Like if you're the salesman you work at, you know, you work for some company. It don't matter what you're selling It does not matter what you're selling if you are selling it You're a real estate agent. You're a loan originator like I was you're a freaking you sell cell phones at the mall You sell cars so you got to go to work every day and you got a car lot and you sell cars You could be selling anything man. You could be selling anything if if it takes you There's only so much you can sell there's only so that I'm referring to physical You're in an office. You're a salesman. You're successful or or not. It don't matter, right? You're either one Um, but if you are successful, you know for a fact just like I was I was successful in cells But guess what? I was also that person that was in the office for 12 hours a day I was also the person that was working way more Than everybody else. That's why if that's why if you catch my pre like old old videos of mine on here on youtube I talk about saturdays saturdays were always my edge I I I understood the slight edge. In fact, you guys need to get this book. Let me let me grab it I'm gonna put a link for this book Right in the description. All right, you're gonna be able to get this on amazon. I'm gonna put a link um For this book. Okay this slight edge man. It talks about Those little things that you can do That will give you an extra product that will give you extra productivity And completely dominate your competitors like it's the little things like kobe Bryant man shot out to kobe Bryant Shout out to kobe Bryant. That's a whole another story Um, that one really hit me. I'm from southern california. I grew up a laker fan So that whole thing hit me But my point up my point of bringing him up was the fact that it was his work ethic that allowed him to Completely dominate So whether you're a laker fan or kobe fan, it doesn't even matter if you even understand sports at all In sports the person who freaking wins is a person who can out work out The competitor kobe Bryant had the most ridiculous work ethic Michael jordan had the most ridiculous work ethic Tom brady these elite athletes The only thing that makes them elite is the fact that they have a ridiculous work ethic So in my case in cells, I I started learning that young man, and i'm like shit If every other tom dick and harry in this call center in this company in this office, right? No matter what we were selling If all these other bozos Are working nine to five Monday through friday And if this boss if my boss is telling me that this is cells and I could work as long as I want What i'm gonna do is and I started doing this young man and it's my it's my Ethic today. It's my strategy today. It's my secret sauce today But I started doing this young where i'm like, dude if this is cells and and and and I can work as long as I want because the boss ain't gonna get mad if I close extra deals. Shit. He's happy. I'm happy And and and so I would literally I learned that young and I would take that strategy and that Philosophy and that mindset into any cells office. This is when I was in my 20s 30s I would take that into anything I was doing and i'm like, dude These people are working nine to five money through friday I'm gonna work seven a.m. To seven p.m And i'm gonna do that money through saturday And i'm gonna do it for 90 days and that little Edge that extra edge that just by putting in a couple hours per week or per day and i'm gonna and and i'm gonna be disciplined I knew that a ton of people in my call center would smoke cigarettes, right? If you're in the cells industry, what are people doing man? They're drinking they're drinking and they're freaking smoking cigarettes I knew that right some people would come in the next day hung over I'm good Some people would have to Leave their cubicle. They'd have to leave their desk. They'd have to leave their their their office phone their little, you know station or whatever They'd have to leave it every 20 minutes because they got to go get a smoke break I knew these things. I knew that people were taking a lunch. I did it I ate I ate my food on my desk Like I like you guys can go out for for the hour Lunch and you guys can go shoot the shit at freaking al-territos mexican restaurant But while you guys are shooting the shit and talking about Nothing I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna stick to the phone. I'm gonna eat right on my desk I'm gonna grab my little salad or whatever and I'm gonna eat it there And The only time I'm gonna freaking get up. I'm telling you guys This is a lot. This is what allowed me to crush it when it came to physical cells But again, I'm telling you all this to tell you to lead you up to where the hell i'm at now and why Even even crushing it in mortgages and making a lot of money. I still knew there was a ceiling. I still knew that I couldn't Possibly do more because I didn't want to own my own mortgage company for one because my best friend owned it I didn't I wasn't going to go compete with him and start my own thing No, I wasn't going to do that. So I had to get I had to leave I had to get get out of the industry because I knew I could only do so much Even when you apply to the apply the slight edge and you work the 7 a.m. To 7 p.m. And you work the saturday Yes, you're gonna freaking Crush everybody else. But guess what? at that time 7 a.m. To 7 p.m. Six days a week Because it physically and you're willing and I was willing because you're willing and and it's gonna physically take that effort from you physically And yes, you'll get a couple more cells out of the damn out of the damn thing but You're still going to cap out and and and and the the the crazy part about Linear income for all of you salespeople all of you people that actually physically have to make it happen The reason why I don't like that and the reason why I left it even after making big big money doing mortgages and real estate, right? Is because I just knew that it If I can't multiply myself or if I can't leverage this out where where where this income can come in without my physical effort Then I can't waste any more time I have to because because leverage time is everything leverages everything Why do you think people invest in real estate so they can park x amount of money and get x amount of money out of it as a return What without physically putting in effort why do people invest in the stock market so they can make money in the market by putting money in it and Have the ability to leverage that Therefore, they don't need to physically report anywhere or physically try to sell anyone anything, right? It's leverage you're leveraging money or you're leveraging real estate Or or or or you're going to leverage your time and and how do you leverage your time? Doing what I did and going to get 50 people To make that sell for you. Okay. Well, I did that too, right? That's another form of leverage That's the ultimate form of leverage is when you can actually own something you own it and you have people that literally Work for you. Those are your employees, right? And when you're doing it offline That's the model office employees Payroll All this crap comes with it man that you don't hear about right That's all the ugly, you know behind the scenes of The logistics and the operations of a company, right? Especially when it's offline and I'm like dude, okay So in order for me to I crush it in cells. I'm doing 7 a.m. To 7 p.m. I'm working six days a week I'm crushing everyone when it comes to income in this entire office and I'm talking about different offices now But it's the same damn same shit And this is how I'm thinking right and I'm like dude like okay So I guess I don't I don't want to be a best sells person because being being being the number one sells person in your office Requires a lot of time right and and again man. Those of you that are young That's what you want to do But as you grow older and as you grow wiser and you start to analyze and you start to look at the game And you start to be like damn, okay I crush it in cells and if I have to How am I gonna leverage this so I could make more? I'm gonna I'm gonna go start my own thing and I'm gonna replace myself with 50 employees That's the most logical way of doing it. That's traditional business, right? I'm telling you I did it that route and I'm like shit This isn't I don't have 50 employees I run an adult daycare with 50 Kids like that's how it feels man If any of you guys that have employees if you guys any of you guys watching my video man, and you guys have employees You know that That ain't easy man. That ain't easy at all, right? And it's like After I knew man that I don't want to have a traditional business. That's why in a lot of my other videos I talk about it. I'm like dude So now fast forwarding into 2016 What this all this is the reason why I went all in With the internet and and and at first it was just starting my agency and and and being able to Provide my marketing background to a different business, right another business And and and and focused on one and and bring my experience and my passion and my knowledge from my previous All my I spent 20 years in marketing and mortgages, right? So it was only right in 2016 for me to bring that knowledge to someone in that industry somehow some way And that's that's how I ended up focusing on real estate agents because I'm like dude. I know the lingo I know that I know I I know where they're coming from. I know their pain points I know what they need, right? And so that all started in 2016 started reaching out on social media And in in offering real estate agents marketing services, okay digital marketing services social media marketing services, right? and then again It just started taking off you guys I started I started I started To this day I've closed hundreds of clients first of all But then I scaled it further, right? I didn't just stop at the at the done for you services because that's another thing as I knew If I were a great salesperson at an office. I'm number one. I'm working crazy hours. I knew I didn't want that To replace myself. I'd have to go start my own company And go get employees. I did that. I didn't want to do that again and then I'm telling you even in mortgages top producer Making big money per deal, right big commission checks, right? But there was only so much time in a day, man, and I couldn't leverage myself And so that's why man 2016 2017 as I'm building my agency and helping agents I said I said this right here is also a headache because I'm I'm still in the client services business And with just me being a solopreneur I can only help so many people like if it's if I'm doing all the work physically, right? I'm making the I'm doing the prospecting. I'm doing the the the presentation call. I'm onboarding the client I'm doing all the services. I'm fulfilling the orders for the client If I'm having a physically service clients There goes another question that I that this is what I realized in 2017 2018 as I'm building my social media marketing agency, right? I'm like, damn dude, like there's only so many clients a person can handle and After experiencing it. I'm like, dude, I don't even want monthly clients Like I don't even want that business model after really learning it and analyzing it. I'm like, dude Hell no, I don't want 50 clients. Like I don't as far as monthly. I'm talking about monthly retaining, right? When you do the math you you visualize dang, dude It'd be awesome having 10 clients per month all paying me 2500 a month That would be awesome. But do you know what type of headache that is as well? You don't you have no idea So some of you guys are aspiring to be an agency owner or you're a freelancer and you're out there getting clients You're out there getting businesses to do their marketing services to do to design their logo to do their social media marketing management Or posting or whatever to run their facebook ads Those of you that are visualizing damn, dude, I want to get more clients. How do I get more clients? I'm telling you When you do get there and you're like at 10 clients a month and they're all paying you a lot You think that that's a lot. You think that that's what you wanted But then after that you're like damn, I got 10 headaches Because it takes a lot to have to fulfill that it takes a lot and again There you go resorting back to traditional business offline now having to get an office Now having to hire employees You at least need a couple of them because you're crushing it and you got 15 monthly clients And they're and they're paying you a pretty penny It's like dude, that's a circus in its own. So that's when that's why in 2018. I'm like, dude I don't even know if I want that like why don't I and that's when I started learning courses So that's when I started learning knowledge That's when I started learning how to sell my knowledge and how to And I started learning more about this e-learning industry this global Multi-billion-dollar trend that was happening online because of online education People are now selling courses, right? This is where we're at. This is this is this is knowledge This is the knowledge society that we're in now It's the internet we learn online and those of you that that are an expert in anything can now package that information You can now package your knowledge and sell it online And I'm I'm telling you this is where this is where I'm going to try to really get to the point Okay, so I appreciate all of you guys are this is a rent man. This is the rent of an entrepreneur This is a day in the life. This is what I do. All right In 2018 I'm like dude This kind of feels like everything else This kind of feels like I'm a top sells person working for some company. This feels like now My old company that I used to own with 50 employees because at the rate I'm going I'm gonna have to go get employees I I started thinking about all this. I'm like, dude, and then I started having monthly clients and then remembering how much of a headache that can be and I'm like 2018 I'm like, dude, like I don't know if I if I want that like And and I understand leverage, right? So you're talking to someone who understands leverage leverage of time leverage of money And and being able to make a residual income these Multi-millionaires and these billionaires are not physically putting in their time all damn day. They have leverage They're either leveraging people or they're leveraging money Or they're leveraging real estate, right? And so in 2018 I'm like, dude, how do I now get out of this mess, right? Like I don't want this type of circus and that's when I started again diving into heavy Digital courses and being able to take my knowledge Sell it on the internet, but sell it at mass scale and as I started learning from people and learning from other YouTubers and other freaking online marketers And and and and as I started learning and following these people that were just a few steps ahead of me I'm like, damn, dude, they're crushing it. Like they are literally selling their course And and they're selling multiple per day And they're making way more than any random ass necklace that you could be selling online Any random ass t-shirt that you could be selling on Shopify Like the profit margin on your knowledge is absolutely insane And and and when you can run ads and when you can really build a niche and you can really build a community And build an audience of people that are really finding value in what you're doing And and you can learn how to package all that up And and and and you can learn paid traffic to start running ads to the offer, right? These ads are running while you're sleeping These ads are running while you're on vacation, man And people are let's say, for example, you're driving them to a webinar. You're driving them to some type of presentation You're driving them to a landing page Right To get them to register to get them to watch what you got. So now so those those of you that are sells people You physically have to sell or you don't get paid That's why I moved on. That's why I'm like, dude, what if I can't make it to work tomorrow? What if I don't feel good tomorrow? What if I got to pick up my son from school tomorrow? But that appointment that I got to be on because I need to do the presentation because I need to make that commission Because my boss is going to fire me What if I what if I have to pick up my son from school and I can't make the presentation? That's the crazy part about cells. So although, yeah, you Those of you that are in cells and you crush it You crush it because you're good And and and and the the the moment you can figure out how to replace yourself the moment you can figure out how to leverage yourself So you don't have to physically be there anymore And you can automate the entire thing because of this because of this thing we call the internet now You can automate Your presentation and now you can have that presentation on freaking hyper speed 24 hours a day seven days a week while you're on vacation And people are watching your presentation. Imagine doing your presentation virtually So as badass as you guys are at selling imagine recording it and getting that getting that in front of the right people through paid advertising and Getting people to give you their credit card all online Automated like that is leverage that is what I highly highly highly highly recommend and encourage every single one of you guys to start Doing like start figuring out what you're passionate about start figuring about what you're knowledgeable in And start figuring out how you can package it all up And sell it. That's what the link is down below. So digital course profits Dot com that link is below read that little paragraph I host everything on kartra. That's what I'm mastering right now It's cracking the code on my course And and now taking all my knowledge And just packaging it all up and and putting a price tag on it putting value on it and selling that while I'm Sleeping that's how you replace yourself. That's how you leverage. That's how you 100 x your income And that That brings me all to what i'm talking about right here. You guys my fourth youtube check The reason why i'm so fired up. There's a few reasons why i'm so fired up about this about this monthly check Okay, that that that just started coming in the last few months The reason why is because I understand leverage I'm literally getting paid on videos that i've done a year ago I'm literally getting paid on videos on this youtube channel that I recorded two years ago That's leverage That's leverage When I can put something out. It's like being an author. It's like being a freaking musician It's like being an artist. It's like being a freaking rap mogul like a drake Where you're putting out all this music and people are streaming it. You're making money Literally every second of the day That's how I look at youtube these videos that I'm putting out I'm obviously trying to bring value. I'm obviously trying to educate A specific type of person the type of person who is trying to build a business online The type of person who's trying to build Um, um some type of a brand on social media Right specific very niche. That's what I that's what i'm talking about on this channel Stuff that i'm doing stuff that i'm already day in the life of my hustle right um And I I just realized About I would say let's just say a year ago when I really started taking this even more seriously I started this channel in 20 2017, but was very inconsistent. I wasn't putting up videos I didn't know what the hell I was doing at all really. Um doing Low budget things on my cell phone and just putting the video up if you go to my very first video You guys can search it go way back man go way back to the first month go way back I have there's over 400 videos of this taping right now There's over 400 videos on this channel go back to the very first view Like it's like dude like I didn't know what the heck I was doing, but I knew I I knew what I was talking about I knew that From day one online entrepreneurship. That's what this all these little rants are going to be about And so as I started this channel in 2017 into 2018 It wasn't until about 2019 when I really started taking it seriously like when I when I when I started watching a few of my mentors And I'm like dang dude He's getting paid that much every month from his youtube channel Like I started I started watching a few other people and I'm like what I'm like dude That could pay for I started looking at putting things in my perspective. I'm like dude that can pay for my entire monthly overhead My personal expenses my business expenses that one youtube check alone like I'm looking at my mentors and I'm like dang dude And so it was an it wasn't until about 2019 man When I was like dude This makes too too much sense all of you business owners out there that are putting out content You got to be putting it on youtube man today the 21st today And you guys are probably watching this a few days later, but today's the 21st This is the email that you get from google from youtube For your monthly deposits. Okay, this right here is the email this right here is my account. Let me hit payments Okay, so this right here, man, let me refresh this This right here Is what I got today Every month man. I started getting monetized I started being able to make money from the channel because I finally hit 1000 subscribers At the end of 2019. So that's the whole thing with youtube You got to hit 1000 subscribers or you got to get or you got to get people to watch at least 4000 hours Of your content and it and it all has to happen in a 12 month period Now it doesn't have to happen the first 12 months. It could take you damn near freaking five years to reach that number, but I Ended up hitting it a year and a half later like again. I didn't know what the heck I was doing I had no consistency with my uploading at all. I wasn't didn't know about tags didn't know about it The description I still don't I'm gonna keep a row with you guys man into 2020 I still don't know what the hell i'm doing, but at the same time This monthly check what I do know is that it was deposited today my freaking bank account What I do know is that my wife just took that card out and is about to spend it That's what I do know, right? It's like this money you guys. I am just getting started. Look at my channel, man I am I am at look it's these are the these are the um These are the freaking numbers right here and and I'll cover that with you guys real quick Um, but look man. Look how small my channel is dude. So at the time of you guys watching this video, dude I don't have a big channel at all But what I do know is where the power of where this number will go look 1726, man What I do know is is is again leverage what I do know is residual income What I do know is that this money keeps increasing And that's money that comes in every 21st of the month And so when I started looking at this in 2019, I'm like dude forget about spraying Content on all these damn platforms forget about that the advice that gary v was giving me and giving millions of people You got to be posting 50 million times a day. You got to be posting on five million different platforms I'm like damn gary like shit What you're not telling everybody is that we also have to hire 50 people To do it all for us. It's like shit. No wonder you can put out so much content But what I what I'm saying what I'm saying is that the average person's not doing that But the average person is trying to do something right? You're trying to put out content somewhere, right? You're trying to post on instagram. You're trying to post on facebook You're trying to post on your facebook business page where you have 200 likes You're trying to post on freaking twitter You're trying to post on these different platforms to build your brand, right? Whether you're a real estate agent an online entrepreneur a digital agency, whatever you're posting on all these other random platforms, right? When I started looking at the numbers and what youtube can start paying and I didn't I didn't start realizing this till 2019 I'm like the hell. I told myself on the hell. I said the hell with posting on all these other platforms I'm more and this is another thing man. One thing I do take away from gary v Is is is is is him saying all the time self-awareness? That's one thing that I had to I had to learn and I learned and once I learned I'm like shit. I'm going all in with youtube because you have to you have to know if video is even your thing I was self-aware to know that video was my thing and and and I wasn't I'm no freaking camera person at all I just said the hell with it I'm passionate about something I I know about a certain topic I know other people would probably be interested in this certain topic I'm gonna just start talking about it and and and as I really took that up a few notches in 2019 You guys because again, I was looking at what these people were making and I'm like, dude If I just had a fraction of that monthly youtube check I'm like, dude that would cover all my monthly expenses and it will give me plenty of Of of sanity and it will give me plenty of energy and resources and and and money to go build my course and and not have to really What's the word depend on that income right because this youtube check is covering all my expenses That's when I started thinking you guys in 2019 and at the end of 2019 you guys I finally get monetized. I finally hit a thousand subscribers I finally hit the 4 000 watch hours and then this is this is the um the breakdown So in september it all happened in september. Okay, it all happened in september But when you start make and and here's the thing I talk about this on the previous video on my last on the third This is my fourth deposit. Okay. This is my fourth deposit But I talk about that where how I talk about on the previous video on how I didn't even know I was monetized in september But I guess 42 dollars was generated. I never received any email I didn't I wasn't notified about that money at all and the reason for it is because you have to you have to reach $100 that's the threshold So your monthly ad money in order to be paid out has to be at least 100 bucks And then they'll write you a check they'll send you a check or the direct deposit, you know But I didn't even know about that because I didn't I didn't receive it and and then and then and then so so that happened in in september, right That money would have been paid out in october But again the 42 dollars. That's what carried over to october. So whatever you do in september That's paid out in october. Okay, so that 42 dollars would have been paid out in october Which I didn't meet the 100 and it wasn't so in october whatever happens in october and the previous month Whatever happened in october and the previous month. That's what I was paid out in November and so that 248 that 248 and 42 which was the 291 That was paid out in november and you guys see me doing a video That was november. That was my first check for 291 and i'm like holy crap To most of the world out there 291 and at this point. I probably had like over 300 videos up, dude. I'm talking about grinding I'm talking about seeing the damn thing you know through You I had you have to think that way man because who the hell is going to put out 300 videos only for Damn near two years later. You see 291 It's like who in their right mind would do that, right? Not many and that's why not many people are going to start seeing this money not many because it take it In 2019. I'm like, dude, that was my whole thing I'd probably be further if I would have if I was more consistent So in 2019 is when I started being more consistent I started putting up more video more video more video and then in november again, man I get the 248 and I get the 42 That was paid out in november That's the video you guys can you guys can see here, but that was 291 and then and then what I did in november, which was 312 All the ads that are running on my videos In november accumulated 312 that 312 i'm also doing a video on and that was paid out in december Okay, that 312 That check you guys i'm telling you man Just 300 alone You got to be completely lying to yourself if you Think that an extra three hundred dollars a month Wouldn't change your life and i'm talking to most of you to all of you in in in the us Those of you that are watching my video shot to my boy navid. No navid is always commenting. I think he's in india Like I think I think that's where he's at shot to my boy navid, but For those of you that are watching this video right now in the us No matter how financially stable you think you are I know for a fact because I know the statistics. I know for a fact that an extra 300 bucks a month Would change most of your lives just an extra 300 an extra 300 bro is an is a new car payment Like don't get it twisted like yeah, okay You make freaking 10 grand a month at your corporate job, right? But the extra 300 is the difference between you pulling up in your Honda Accord Versus pulling up in a brand new Lexus like an extra 300 a month would make that happen for anybody, right? And so for those of you that are in another country in different countries 300 bucks a month you you're living like a king So i'm like dude, I started thinking this in freaking November. I'm like wait a minute, dude I'm like dude on top of everything else all the other incomes that i'm that i'm that i got going on that i'm building This extra 300 I talk about man. I cut a video I cut a video dude I cut a video last month on this or I think it was christmas when I cut a video that that I was talking about how It was it's all in this youtube playlist But I was talking about how that check alone because that 312 that was paid on in december So I got that 312 right before christmas. You know what I did with that 312 You want you want to know exactly what I did with that 312? I bought my wife diamond earrings For christmas now were they the most expensive? No, but shit dude that 300 went towards it I mean that that was money that I didn't have to take for my paycheck Or I didn't have to take for my revenue for my daytime hustle That was an extra check man. Now did I put up the time? You're in a half prior. Yes, dude, but once you put up the time i'm telling you that's how every investment I look at this as an investment I look at this as compound interest. I look at this monthly youtube check As a long-term play but also Short term because what is a year anyways? Those of you that are putting out content and you're putting on all these other platforms I am just simply telling you man. Put it here Put your content here start putting out video form and talking about your business and your services here Because in a year a year is going to go by anyways man two years are going to go by anyways And so if you guys want to try to be a gary v and post 50 million times on 50 million different platforms 50 million times a day like Okay, but all that content that's out there in social media freaking world I see it. It's in my news feed and then it's gone I see it. It's in my news feed and then it's gone It's like dude park that content on youtube Because a year is going to go by anyways and when you get monetized I truly believe that you could be monetized in less than a year If I knew what I knew in 2019 when I started my channel in 2016 2017 I would have been monetized right away if I knew right and what what did I not know? Is that you got to be consistent every week you got to put up at least two to three videos a week And you want to do that for at least 90 days You want to do that every for years, but let's just let's just focus on the first 90 days The first 90 days that you build your youtube channel three videos per week For 90 days, I would say do a video every day. That's what I'm doing right now You guys are catching this video in my blitz. I'm literally on a blitz right now Where I've done a video every day since december of 2019 So Depending on when you're watching this i'm making this video, you know freaking in february I'm literally on a four month blitz December January february March I am literally challenging myself to put a video out every single day In this short little blitz. Is it a lot of work? Yeah, but at the same time it's compound interest man I'm literally getting paid. Look dude. Look right here top running videos this one this one this one this one this one Look dude this top one I made this video you guys. I freaking recorded this video on my ghetto ass computer with a ghetto ass microphone Back in When did this video come out? It was like freaking a couple years ago, man 2018 2018 2018 I'll let that commercial play. I'll let that commercial play. Holy crap, right? 50 000 views I dropped this video in 2018 man And I'm getting paid on it every single day Can you imagine when you have 4 000 videos out? I got I got a little over 400 right now I barely started getting monetized man. So here's the deal. Let me go back to Seeing those numbers don't even gotta look good. I'm still getting paid on the damn thing So look at this Let's go to um Yeah, let's go to let's go to analytics. Let's go to analytics. We're in analytics Okay, look dude. So as I was telling you that 312 was paid on in december this 335 was paid out in january in january and this 413 Was just paid out today in February Okay, so this one right here february 21. That's the one that I got that's this right here And that was the check that was the deposit man today 413 Let's click on payments This one right here man This one right here came today 413 and look man That that so that was for everything in january right that was paid out in february Where we're at now, dude. Look february what has been Made so far in february and we're only at freaking What are we at? We're freaking at We're at the 21st, dude. There's still plenty of time in this freaking month. Look dude We're at the 21st. I still have eight more days I still have eight more days and we're already at 342 for the month, dude I'm gonna I'm gonna cross 413 for sure. So my monthly deposit in march My monthly deposit next month will be more than 413 Every month it keeps going up because I keep putting out video So rather than posting this content on instagram man when no one cares rather than putting this on an instagram story When it's gone in 24 hours Like dude put that same fire ass content Put that same fire passion that you got for your business and what you're providing to the marketplace Put that content on youtube start talking about it man. This is all about personal branding It's all about building your tribe your audience, right? It ain't about your logo. It ain't about your company brand No, dude. It ain't about your freaking broker if you're a real estate agent stop branding your broker Brand you personal development and the best way to do it is to throw it out on freaking video And and and show the real you man. The only reason why you guys are here is because you're seeing the real me There ain't no sugarcoat and there ain't no freaking there ain't even no editing. I don't even know how to edit You're you getting the raw uncut unfiltered, right? But I truly believe that that's why you guys are following me You're following because you you you feel like you know me You feel like you like me at least some of you and you feel like you trust you trust me Because I'm over here dropping knowledge and dropping freaking Just golden nuggets for what you guys may be doing right online entrepreneurship. So I'm telling you man This is where you guys need to be this where you guys need to be man This is where you need to be and this is the fourth. So I got my first one in november december january and february that 413 That's what was paid out today in february man And so I'm telling you that right there a next year 400 bucks a month I truly believe that I'll even cross 500. Look if I go back I'm at 342 right now And it's the 21st of the month, right? Is that what it was 21st of the month? Yes, 21st of the month So 21st of the month, I truly believe that that money could be over 500 That deposit it's for sure going to be over 413, but I truly believe it could be over 500 The following month over 700 the following month over 900 the following month over 1100 That check's going to keep going up you guys and I'm telling you man. This is from from content that you're already putting out Get paid on it get monetized on it you guys you guys owe this to yourself man Because it's hard as you work as an entrepreneur that monthly check can offset other expenses that you probably stress out on every single day Your car payment you're an entrepreneur. You're trying to make an expensive car payment Do you're telling me 400 wouldn't cover a nice car payment? Hell, yeah, dude. So that's why even if you have a full-time job What are you fired up about like you go to work every day as an accountant, but you're really fired up about freaking jump roping Go put out some content start recording some videos of you and your freaking neighbors jump roping And start building a channel around it I'm telling you dude that extra check that you'll start getting from youtube can change your life Even on this little ass level I'll take an extra 413 this month. Are you kidding me? That's my car payment That's literally my car payment dude So rather than me having to stress out and sell some courses or some shit like that, right? Rather than me stressing out having to always close another client Right, those of you that are in sales rather than you stressed out trying to meet your weekly quota So your boss doesn't fire you and so you don't get a freaking paid down grade, right? It's like dude That monthly check man that monthly check can cover a lot of your monthly expenses that I truly believe a lot of you stress out on right now, right? Start a youtube channel you guys start a youtube channel Stay tuned man. You'll Make sure you come back to this playlist on march 21st Um Because we'll see where that 342 ends up then all right guys. So over and out man get that content out Park it here and let's get paid. I'll see you guys in the next video
