Not a BF offer

I know your inbox is being destroyed with BF deal after BF deal. In fact, I’m afraid to mention the word in this email so as to land in your primary inbox… so let’s ignore the time of the year we are in right now and actually learn a little something.
It’s July 2019; I’m sitting at my desk, ready to hit publish on what would become one of the most-viewed videos on my channel.
I was following training from a guy who eventually gave up on his YouTube channel, but I felt like I had no idea what I was doing and I took some terrible advice.
Just “copy what is working” the guy said.
As in, go find other channels in your niche, copy their videos but in your voice, and wait for the views to come rolling
The cool thing is… that strategy works… but it’s not sustainable. It won’t work for a long time. It can get some quick views, but you will end up giving up, just like he did… and just like I eventually did.
Let me tell you what to ACTUALLY do to grow your side hustle YouTube channel to a real business.

Imagine you are Tarzan swinging from tree to tree in the jungle. What is keeping Tarzan from hitting the ground?
Of course… the limbs on the tree and whatever he is swinging from.
But what if he ran into a group of trees with no limbs? or run out of trees to swing from altogether?
Yup, he will fall flat on his face.
That is what happens when you are looking toward your competition and trying to replicate their success.
To fix this error in judgment, you must fail.
Yes, Fail. Because sometimes you plant a tree and it doesn’t grow… but when it does, you take over the planet.
The problem of depending on everyone else in your niche market for content is that if there are no more “limbs” to swing from, you will eventually burn out and run out of inspiration. To fix this, you must PLANT your own trees.
You plant your OWN trees by creating content that doesn’t exist in your niche market.
If you can grow your own trees, you won’t need anyone else’s limb. Plus you know intimately who those trees grew because you watched them grow.
In fact, if you become really good at it, people will come around looking at your tree to swing from.
Don’t be the “trend-follower,” become the “trend-setter”
You do this by finding idea outside of your niche and creating content that doesn’t exist on YouTube already.
For example, you should try your best to create titles for your videos that DO NOT already exist. That way, you plant your own tree and become a market of 1. This means everyone on the planet would need to watch your video to get that particular experience.
The thing is, when it’s a GOOD idea, you will dominate your topic and get thousands and thousands of views.
