1. Maintain an emergency fund

Life is full of unexpected surprises

Sadly, most some with some sort of a cost

This is why you need money set aside

However, few people do - big mistake!

Here’s why you need an emergency fund and how to build one…

Having a fund helps:
- Reduce stress
- Avoid debt
- Build financial confidence

As such, allocate 10% of each pay towards your fund

Fund it to where you have at minimum 6 months of living expenses

That way when more expenses come, you’ll be ready!

2. Build non-employment income streams

Having employment income is good but it’s not enough

There are two reasons for this:
1. Most jobs don’t pay enough
2. Jobs aren’t 100% secure

As such, you need to insulate yourself with others forms of income

Here’s what I suggest…

Most people should consider:
- Freelancing
- Starting a business
- Building an audience

The internet is ripe full of money making opportunities

Stop watching cat videos and start making more money…

1. Select a niche

For our example, we will use the finance niche

There are many channels in this niche making $10k+ per month

All they’re doing is adding video clips to pre-recorded audio

I’m going to walk you step-by-step how you can do the same…

Here’s an example channel:

2. Find Voiceover

Search YouTube for the latest financial commentary

Find clips from people like:
- Warren Buffett
- Robert Kiyosaki
- Dave Ramsey etc.

Extract the audio from their longer-form content

Do this by pasting video URL into YouTube to MP3 converter:

3. Find Music

Go into the YouTube audio library and sort music by mood

Select “Inspirational” and listen to the music demos

Select a track that matches your video content

Add in the credits in your video’s description and you’re set!

4. Find Footage

Sign up for Storyblocks for $20/mo

Search for business related clips

Gather enough clips for the full length of your video

1. Select a profitable niche

On YouTube, the niches are in the riches

The niche you select is important because it determines:
1. Viewer interest
2. Monetization options

Here are a few niches that you can use to scale to $100K per year:

2. Determine video style

There are two styles on YouTube:

On-camera pros: more connection, easy to sell
On-camera cons: more time, less flexibility

Off-camera pros: easier to outsource, less time involvement
Off-camera cons: harder to sell high ticket items, less brand loyalty

3. Scale up to 100,000 monthly views

You can get to 100K monthly views with:
1. Less videos but higher quality
2. More videos at lesser quality

Here’s the math:
- 50 videos at 2000 views
-100 videos at 1000 views
-200 videos at 500 views

Here’s critical advice for both...

To scale up to 100K views, focus on increasing two key metrics:
1. Clickthrough rate (CTR)
2. Watch time

A higher CTR means more views and more money

A higher watch time means that YT is more likely to recommend your videos

Be deliberate to get results…
