Some of the coolest facts about this: Logan Paul was one of the fastest YouTubers to reach 10M subscribers, doing it in just 11 months MrBeast took nearly 7 years to hit 10M. Imagine if he had quit! Ronaldo hit 10M subscribers in just 11 HOURS lol

Everyone overcomplicates YouTube: 1 - Get really good at making one type of video 2 - Master your titles and thumbnails 3 - Once you’ve figured out what works, start experimenting with other formats The biggest mistake creators make is trying to do too much at once

It’s becoming clear how Jimmy plans to integrate his banking app into his content In today’s video, he paid out $350K in prize money directly through Step I imagine future giveaways and challenges will be increasingly integrated into the app

Note: These are broad estimates based on my own experience across these platforms. RPMs can vary a ton depending on niche, audience, country, watch time, etc But the point stands: not all views are worth the same!

Don't overthink your YouTube packaging: The simplest idea is often the best one. Your only job is to get someone to click!

Prediction: "YouTube Channel Manager" will be a standard role at every major brand within a few years Not investing in YouTube will eventually feel like not investing in social media

Video length is basically a third YouTube hook Title, thumbnail, runtime If a video is unusually short or insanely long, sometimes you want to click just to see why

This is honestly one of the best YouTube titles I've seen in a while - I clicked instantly Everyone obsesses over unique thumbnails, but there’s something insanely powerful about a title that feels completely new

Become known for one thing first Once people care about you, you can earn the right to expand beyond it
