things have been ramping up fast with @wizofYT
hit a 3k day on a single channel for the first time
blew up a brand new 1k+/day machine in a completely new niche in only 10 days
also scaling the team as fast as possible
and overall making some real progress on the race to 6 figures/month
lots of sleepless nights and long days, but it's starting to pay off. as @wizofYT said, there will be time to sleep in Q1 :)
hope everyone is crushing it and getting ready for Q4💪
hardest worker I know and a great guy to work with. extremely proud of what we achieved together so far, now it's time to take things to the next level🤝
Six months ago I was barely making $4k/mo. Today it's $40k.
It’s taken nearly two years, going back to zero twice, and a lot of mistakes to get to where I am now, yet we are only just getting started.
I don't want to come across like I've cracked it, because I'm far from it, and it'd be doing my journey a disservice to pretend otherwise.
I started YTA in late 2024, and like everyone else who stumbled across this business model, I presumed this was as easy as choosing any niche, doing $10k/mo, then finding another and repeating. But that's not been my experience at all. It's been small ups and downs for a long time with nothing really landing, then when something finally does work, losing it again.
For most of that first stretch the only things I did consistently right were reaching out to people, taking a lesson out of everything, failures included, and being insanely obsessed with succeeding.
I reached out to @TennexYT at the start of 2025, and although he did not owe me anything, he answered every question and gave me whatever advice he could. Even small interactions here and there gave me the motivation I needed during times I was questioning everything.
Then somewhere in there I made a bit of money, felt like I was finally getting somewhere, and lost it all again. A lot of people at that point sit on what they've made because they don't know where their next success will come from. I put every penny back in. Coaching, systems, team building. I was 18 months into this business model without taking a single pound of profit.
That's how I ended up in coaching with @wizofYT
After speaking highly of his experiences so far, Tennex pointed me in Andrew's direction, and that was the first big turning point of the whole two years. There are a lot of coaches on X. He was someone you could just tell had it nailed on, no fluff, just results driven. Tools, structure, training, all of it real. All you had to do was fully commit, so I did.
We went from 0 monetised, 0 income and still paying out expenses every month, to 10 monetised channels in 2 months doing 5 figures, but like everyone else at the start of 2026, we got hit by the demonetisation wave and it took almost everything we had built with it. It landed almost exactly as my coaching was ending. All I had left was 1 channel, doing roughly $500/mo.
At the time it felt like I'd burned a load of money for nothing. I hadn't. I'd lost the channels but I still had every skill I'd just spent months learning, and that's a huge reason the rebuild worked.
Shortly after, I reached back out to Tennex for his advice on getting things back on track after seeing that he'd been hit by the same thing. That went from one call, to then working together and getting his guidance to rebuild, which is the biggest factor to where I am now. Not just what to do. I'd spent a year and a half treating this as YouTube. He's the reason I started treating it as a business.
We came up with a plan to start out like a beginner, but with the backing of the team I had built and just scatter launched across as many niches as possible, 10-15 niches in total, with the aim to run with whatever moved.
Funny enough, during this time, the thing that actually took off was the one channel I already had. One I'd never rated, wasn't the fun one, wasn't the one I wanted to work on, barely making money. Turns out that was it. $500/mo, then $2k/mo, then $4k/mo, and off the back of that one channel we built the network out into the same and adjacent niches. 15 monetised, $40k/mo, and now climbing $5/10k month on month.
Which is really the whole lesson. I spent so long assuming everyone else had the better opportunity and chasing whatever looked like the next big move. What changed it was looking at the thing already making money and just doing more of it, but better.
The other one was outsourcing. I'm an obsessive perfectionist and I did every single thumbnail myself for far too long, fine tuning the most minor things. That's fine if your aim is to run one channel. Impossible across 30, and it's a hard ceiling on everything else you could be fixing and scaling instead.
The reassuring part of finally working with people operating above me was realising I was already doing most of the right things. The difference was their speed. They decide faster and they fix problems faster. That's genuinely most of the gap and the skill I adopted quickly.
Monday I move into my first office. It's small and it's nothing special but it's the exact thing I used to sit in my bedroom at my parents house and picture. $100k/mo is the target by Christmas, and we've now got the best setup and opportunity I've ever had to get there. Then in January we fly out to Bali to reset and go again.
$40K/mo used to look enormous to me. Now it's my standard, along with each next goal we hit.
The tools are there, the systems are there, the knowledge is there. The only thing left is me turning up at 100% every day and staying focused on my next goal.
If you're at the start of this and reading it wondering how people get here, it's just time, reaching out, and not repeating the same mistake twice. Message the people you think are out of your league. Worst case they don't reply.
Been staying away from X for a while now and I think it's time for an update
I’ve been doing 6 figure months consistently since April and on track for that 7 figure year I said I was going for at the start of the year. Also learned a few lessons along the way I think are worth sharing
The funny thing is, back in January, I had absolutely no clue how I was gonna do it, but I knew that setting the goal and actually believing in it was the first step I needed to take
In February, things weren't going well, chain demonetizations, terminations etc etc, the usual, and I knew I needed to make a drastic change if I wanted this year to be different
So I headed to Bali for a little over 2 months. Bit cliché but it seemed like the right move, and it was. After two months of pure grind, I hit my first 100k month in April, right as I got back home
That's lesson number one for me: if you want to achieve something you've never done before, you need to take actions you've never taken before. And the bigger the goal, the more drastic the actions. For me it was a major change of environment, which allowed me to take certain risks that I would've never even considered in the comfort of my own home.
Once I got back home, Q2 was starting and I realized the level of the opportunity that was presenting itself to me. So I locked myself in a cabin in the woods and barely saw anyone for the entire quarter. Again, drastic actions for drastic results, and I had three consecutive record months with June alone coming close to my entire 2025 revenue.
Which brings me to lesson number two: a goal can either turn into a finish line or a new baseline, and there's a time and place for each.
Still amazes me how fast 6 figure months went from this surreal goal I had thought about for so long, to the bare minimum literally a week after hitting it, simply because I chose to make it my new baseline. I didn't celebrate and instead focused on normalizing it as fast as possible to see the 7 figure year through. I know this might seem a little drastic, but again, see lesson one
Now Q3 is almost over, and while not as explosive as Q2 growth wise, I've taken a necessary step back to build the systems I need to make Q4 a record breaking quarter.
Which brings me to my third lesson: mistakes are either a lesson or a waste of time, and it just depends on how many times you make them. I went back to zero twice in this business, both times for more or less the same reason, and it took two painful failures to realize the only way forward is making sure you never repeat the same mistake. Sounds obvious until you actually analyze your own failure points and realize you already had the knowledge to prevent them, but ignored it out of laziness, fear of breaking the status quo, or chasing the quick cash grab.
Every problem has a quick and easy solution, and a more painful long-term one. If the problem can threaten the scalability of your business, choose the long-term solution, and fast.
One more thing, and for me it's the highlight of the entire year. Back when I was in Bali, @huntrrtom reached out for some help getting his YTA business back on track. I'm not a fan of coaching, but I'd known him for a while and decided to share my systems and guide him as much as I could.
We've been working together for about 5 months now. Today he's doing around 40k/mo, with a clear plan to get to 100k/mo by the end of the year.
Which brings me to lesson four: the reason @huntrrtom is successful today, and the reason I agreed to work with him, is that I recognized early he had the two most important qualities in business: speed to execution and open-mindedness. Acting on the next best move as fast as possible while staying open to new opportunities as they come. That's what got him this far and what will take him to the next level.
All in all, a crazy year so far, and I have no doubt the best is yet to come. Hope everyone is ready to set a new standard in Q4, I know I will🤝
Also, I’m not a fan of watching self help/business gurus generally but if you’re looking for inspiration, I recommend Sam Ovens and Greg LaVecchia, different styles but great stuff by both

My portfolio of FaceTubers works for me 24/7 while I sleep.
I’ve got an army of:
- Amish FaceTubers (some of you have seen these)
- Home-Repair FaceTubers
- Survival FaceTubers
- Retirement FaceTubers
- Food FaceTubers
- etc, etc, etc.
The possibilities are endless.
What is a FaceTuber?
A FaceTuber is a personality-led digital host that is trained to dominate any niche he/she is in.
It’s like hiring a YouTuber who never gets tired, never misses uploads, and can be built for any niche.
The AI model that powers all this was being gate kept from the public. Until now.
I am now releasing it to the first people who joined the early access waitlist. The first round of signup codes are being sent tomorrow. Keep an eye out on your emails.
If you are not on the waitlist, don't regret not securing your spot @ FaceTuber.ai
The future of YouTube automation has a face.

Huge shoutout to Andrew @wizofyt for teaching me this entire cracked business model.
Now on to Q3, Q4. Let's keep building!
this one had a lot of potential but died down after the initial push that got it monetized
didn't want to give up on it but also couldn't justify spending too much time on what seemed like a dead channel
so i outsourced it 100% to one of my team members, taught him the basics on how to do the whole pipeline end-to-end and forgot about it
now after a whole month it's taking off, and i can justify getting involved in the process again
now ofc i could've been involved the entire month and it might've sped up the process of reviving it
but i already have other channels with way better roi of my time
so i'd rather have a few of these on the backburner that can be a nice addition to the portfolio in due time, and most importantly that take zero extra effort on a day to day basis
one thing i've come to learn is that you can only have so many channels where you're actively involved everyday, and the mental capacity for ideation is a very finite resource
so if you're ideating everyday for 10+ channels, ask yourself: do you sit down with the intention of finding the best possible topics for each audience, or are you just going through the list, letting ai do most of the work and hoping that something sticks?
this is one way i've found to acknowledge that limit, while keeping as many doors open as possible for the longterm
been in the trenches for the past 2 months after losing >70% of my revenue from demonetizations in jan/feb
decided to pivot strategy and enter a brand new format in completely different niches than what i've been doing since Q3 last year
spent the first weeks of February building the tools for it and launched around 15 channels over the month
fast forward to now, monetized a bunch of them in the past 2 weeks and printing again
three things i want to share that helped me bounce back quick:
- learned to use claude code. one of the highest ROI thing you can do rn, learn the basics and the use cases will come. i'll post some sauce soon on how i use it to launch channels
- learning from my mistakes - sounds obvious but after getting hit by demonetizations, i didn't just go blindly for the same format or niche, i took some time to spot the new opportunities on the market, built a quality product for them then went all in with volume. can't remember who said this first, but with most YTA channels, quality is a one-time moat - it takes roughly the same effort to produce 100 videos at 5/10 quality as it does to produce 100 at 9/10, so make sure you're doing the latter
- if you're actually building channels (and not selling a course, we've got enough of those) post about it on X. the space is quiet rn and it's a great time to make a name for yourself. this account has opened doors for me that i wouldn't have known even existed otherwise and is part of the reason i was able to get back on my feet quick
this demonetization wave is a blessing in disguise
launched 7 channels so far this month and already monetized 3
less supply from people abandoning their channels + more demand from a very news-heavy start of the year = opportunities everywhere
even if you don't run politics, you can use the demand to your advantage and adapt it to safer niches to kick channels off fast
lots of ups and downs in 2025 but ended up hitting most of my goals
main goal for 2026 is to add a zero to this
will quote this next year, let's see how long it takes

me and @wizofYT failed..
as you probably know, we've been chasing a crazy goal since august
0-100k in 90 days
and now that 90 days have passed, i have to be honest
we didn't hit it
instead...
we did even better
102k in 90 days
and since AI is blessing us with some of the craziest margins you'll ever see in business
that's around 100k in pure profit, starting from 0 in august
from losing all my channels in april, to now achieving this, it's been an insane journey, and i'm just getting started
super grateful to Andrew for the opportunity, wouldn't be here without his guidance
and ofc to everyone that's been tagging along
next goal: 100k/month by end of Q4
lfg🔥
we broke down the whole journey so far, go give it a watch!
and ofc huge thanks to andrew for the opportunity and the guidance, it’s been a crazy few months for sure
haven't been very active lately, time for an update:
been busy outsourcing as much as possible and putting most of my time into ideation & packaging
the result: overcame my biggest competitor to become #1 in my niche
first half of october has been good, and @wizofYT and I are on track to achieve what we set out to do from the beginning of august:
0-100k in 90 days, pure profit
don't miss his next post @wizofYT 👀
we really been cooking @wizofYT 🤫
scaling the team hard this week to launch new channels asap and blow these numbers out of the water
one thing i've learned recently: the best thing about setting the bar so high for yourself is that even if you fail, you'll still be ahead of 99% of the competition
20k weeks just don't happen if you aim for 10k/mo
think bigger and you go higher, simple as that
