Course Description


You CAN make a living on YouTube, even if you have a small audience.

When I had 3,000 YouTube subscribers my channel was generating $10,000 per month, not because of Adsense, but because I wrapped a business model around my content. This course will teach you, step-by-step, how you can do the same.

  • Learn the primary elements for earning money on YouTube
  • Discover what attracts subscribers, sponsors, and sales to your channel
  • Find team members who will exponentially increase your income
  • Setup your channel for success as a legal business entity

More Information

This is a very practical, step-by-step video course on how to go full-time on YouTube.

Maybe you assume that you need to have millions of monthly views on YouTube, hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and super amazing videos to turn your channel into your career.

That is certainly one way to do it, but some of us serve communities that just simply aren’t that large. That doesn’t mean our audiences are less valuable — it just means we need a different business model than Adsense and brand deals.

A business plan allows many creators, like myself, to earn closer to $300 per 1,000 views on YouTube instead of the average dollar or two that Adsense provides. This course will show you exactly how you can do that.

My fitness channel currently gets less than 100k views per month on YouTube. Not a crazy amount of views, although it's consistently growing.

While Adsense pays a bit, I earn most of my money from things like workout programs, fitness training, and coaching.

My viewers love it because those programs allow me to help them reach their fitness goals in ways I would not be able to do through YouTube alone! And personally, I love it because it lets me pursue my passion! Yay! :)

If you're passionate about your YouTube channel, you need this course! Few things are as fulfilling in life as being able to dedicate yourself to something you love.

The amount of money you earn depends on many factors, including how hard you work to implement the action steps outlined in this course, the size of your audience, the strength of your relationship with your audience, your profit margins, the quality of the value you provide, and more. Some creators with very small audiences hit $500/month very easily. Other creators with similar sized audiences hit $5,000/month in the same amount of time.




JF Beats

While attending a university to be an engineer, my free time was spent composing hip hop music and posting the tracks to YouTube.

It started making money for me when I began to license my tracks to other YouTube creators to use in their videos.

Today I'm no longer pursuing engineering because my YouTube channel actually a similar hourly rate to an engineering job, but with half the work hours. It's simply due to the kinds of strategies Tim teaches in this course.

Get it. It will show you how to do the same.
