Growing a 13,500,000 subscriber YouTube channel was hard… But after that I was able to get two more channels to 3M subs, tik tok to 8M and IG to 4M. Turns out there are hacks that work across all platforms… Here are 7 things I did to get ahead: 1. Avoid hesitation at all costs 📦 So many people ask me for advice on their “idea” for a youtube channel or X page only to never take action because they were still ‘working on it’. You’ll never have the perfect tweet or video idea your first time, probably not even your 100’th time. Just start posting, nobody will remember your sh** videos a year later. Most of my biggest videos were accidents or things I thought would flop. Just send it. 2. Throw more darts 🎯 Most people try the same type of content over and over… wrong Every time you try a new content STYLE it’s like throwing a dart at the board. (Reviews, reactions, walkthroughs, analysis, tips & tricks, etc.) The more darts you throw, the more chances you have to hit a bulls eye. Once you hit a couple bullseyes, then you can narrow your focus into those areas. 3. Stop copying Alex Hormozi 👬 Alex makes amazing content, yours will always suck in comparison. Instead of modeling your page after ‘insert guru here’, take some of the things you like about them and add in what makes you unique. On my dance page it was that I didn’t start dancing until age 17… Most people would see this as a weakness, but it meant that I was a better teacher because I could relate to beginners and they could relate to me. Find what makes you unique and lean into it… heavily! 4. Views don’t matter, Influence does 📣 At the end of the day what’s powerful isn’t your view count, but how many tickets you can sell, sign ups you can get or people you can move to a new platform. This will allow you to grow subscribers/followers quickly and monetize your following. 5. Gain influence by providing value 🧠 Education and entertainment are the two best ways to provide value. Teach people something and they will appreciate you forever. Make peoples day better and they will keep coming back. 6. The algorithm changes, you must too 🔄 What’s ‘trending’ will never stay stagnant. Long form, short form, horizontal, vertical, 15 seconds, 15 minutes, pranks, vlogs… at some point all of these were the ‘best thing to do’. If you have something that’s working now, great, keep doing it, but be ready to evolve when it slows down. The quicker you adapt the more you’ll grow. 7. Build your circle 🥳 Building a following is hard work, but it’s a lot more fun with friends. Also you can exponentially increase growth through collaborations and building your network. So if you want to be part of my network, drop a comment. I’m going to be focusing a lot more time on X in the new year! (It’s nothing official.. yet. Just want to connect with cool people here for now 🥳)
