The best ideas for growing a one person business
What I wish I knew when I started as a creator
Don't make these mistakes when you start a business

This channel is what happens when you don't try to sell anything to anyone, but the person is so smart, you're so shocked, you end up asking to buy everything...
In a recent video, you said your demographic was aged 35-36. However, I'm 63. I lived in Ukraine and became a refugee. Your show and presenting talent have re-inspired me. Thanks for the content uploads.
Just turned 49. I love this content. We live in a new world, with new business, every changing.
Same ! 49 here! Gen X represented!
I'm 40 and inspired. Yep, I agree. New economy.
❤
48 😀
I'm 36, still in the process of rebuilding my life after a 2week coma due to extensive brain damage. Challenging but grateful to start over again. I now know what I don't want to be. Living a life with a purpose now. Glad that I have found your channel months ago while I was on a treadmill. I'm happy with your success, Dan
"Don’t let knowledge outpace execution" - love that!
To everyone who has started or is thinking of starting their own business: *Believe in yourself and never give up.* If you can work 8 hours for someone else. You can work 2 hours for yourself.
So true.
facts. thanks for saying this.
This channel is exactly what I needed. The perfect blend of business and spirituality, and a new take on what business means. At a time were I'm consolidating my sporadic business and lifestyle ideas into something more defined, this is highly motivating.
Yep exactly! Well said
Hey did you start? Have you got socials we can check our?
This is exactly what I needed
Here's the math for your affiliate example:
Revenue: 50 conversions x $50 revenue share = $2,500
Cost: $25 x 4 influencers = $100
Profit: $2,500 - $100 = *$2,400*
For the other example involving influencers and others sharing:
1.0 Million Impressions
x 30% view Offer = 300k views
300k views x 5% click rate = 15k clicks
15k clicks x 5% conversion = 750 sales
750 sales x $50 = *$37,500 Revenue*
Hey Dan, I recently found your channel. I did the 7 days to genius. I am grateful I found your work. It really helped funnel my curiosity, desires, and purpose, into a useable way to create an autonomous career. I was a licensed counselor for 13 years helping parents through their child rearing process. I burnt out from the grind. This method is something I think is so much more sustainable. My desire to help has never changed, but now I have a way to express my ideas, while also setting myself up for monetization. I realize it is a slow burning candle to grow a business on RUclips. But I have set a recording schedule, and will be sticking close to your channel to grow along side you brother. Thanks so much!

I've always told people, "I'm a creative" when they ask about my career. somehow it seems to resonate with a lot of people (who are probably also "creatives") and anyone who doesn't seem to get it at first understands after I tell them, "I solve problems for a living."
I love how you've been able to articulate this convergence in industry. "to return to source" in a personal business perspective without seeming like another _one of thoose_ folks 😆 you definitely figured it out, translating "the trip" into plain English lol and you remind me that, just because I may have heard something from someone else, doesn't mean I don't have a voice to share that wisdom too, and that it's actually my righteous duty as a living person here now to use my voice! haha
These are such a deep lessons for anyone wanting to create value through their business. Some of these have taken me over a decade to figure out and here you are sharing it with everyone so they can avoid those same mistakes. Extremely valuable, pay attention to these lessons and really think about them everyone they'll save you sooo much time
agreed right. he is so on point.
As someone who is a younger self-improvement RUclipsr, I find this extremely interesting. Creating a business really is about following your passions / curiosity, while also taking the leap of faith to change and challenge your perspectives on what you’re tight in life. Curiosity is really the catalyst to destroying limiting beliefs!
Dude, I came across your channel 2 days ago.
You have no idea how badly I’ve been looking for a person, channel and approach like yours.
Keep up the great work sir!
Yeah Mayne he’s fking sick! My thoughts exactly, and he’s only getting better! ❤
Great info , I’m a 60 year old personal
Trainer and still working on myself physically , mentally and spiritually and still feel like I’m just scratching the surface 🖖
Brother you have just validated the last 5 months of me putting out what I thought was nonsense and helped me realize that I have learned so much, getting in front of a camera and being comfortable is huge, & not excelling in my job in solar being the only way to pay for a new knee, you are paving the way
I have you to thank for ditching my niched website and social naming and reverting to my personal brand. What I’m interested in helping people with right now will change. And people trust a name and a face to help them more than a logo. Thank you Dan!
Dan, you are blowing up, my guy. Been following you since less than 2k subscribers. Your systems and processes are a self working machine 🎉
Since I found this channel, I am not wasting my time on other channel.
As software engineer, this channel might help get out of my 9-5 job
You add extreme value to this community! I love how you deep dive into each of these topics. Almost all of your videos are over 30 minutes long which is great. I got up to the three lever part of your video and going to watch the rest of it later today. I think the three levers are brilliant. Saving this
I really love listening to you talk, it just seems like I'm listening to someone from my generation with sense and who understands exactly what I am going through and trying to figure out, thank you for this channel ❤ I treat it like a mini podcast
The fact that you started this video with CONTRAST is very telling. This is the golden key to all meaning, all creativity, all understanding.
Many things I learned, realised or made the connections between thanks to this video and the refreshing and direct way Dan explains stuff. What really hit me though was that comment about "when you read something interesting, don’t highlight (or rewrite it to your little notebook as I always do) but rather write the shit in your own words by recalling it from your memory."
For the longest time I was kinda complaining to myself that I lack creativity when it comes to ideas for writing etc. well no shit as I always write stuff down exactly as people said it, never in the way I understand it or what I’ve learned and taken from that comment or idea.
So from now on, I will apply more of this and I am pretty sure it will lead me to open up my creativity in this area immensely.
Thank you Dan! You rock!
I started watching you with “The One-Person Business Model” when I knew I wanted to start my business but didn’t know where to begin or how to consolidate my multiple interests.
You’ve made my journey so much easier and more focused, and I hope that your channel continues to grow as other realize the value in your content.
i am 27 but u r so much wiser, this is my fav youtube channel, i am planning on building my own something, dont want to work for a company, jusst would say this channel is amazing
The profoundness of the insights you give on a consistent basis is crazy. You're impacting lives in a positive manner!
Hey Dan. I am writing the book of my life. I am so enthralled to find myself with psychology exactly as yours. Only that I havent monetized yet. I relate to so much that you say and the exact same narrative playing in my head. Watching ur video just gave me such a nice kick to boot up. Thanks brother!
As a person starting his own ''content creator'' journey soon enough, this was HUGE. Thank you Dan. Sub'd.
You've done such a great job breaking all of this down. I listen to your playlist like it's an audio book. It really resonates because it seems to cater to neuro divergent brains also.
So happy your vid popped up on my feed the other day. One person business is exactly what I needed to learn. Resonates so much, ty 💕
Just 4 minutes in and already so many good nuggets to glean from. (First video I've seen from you and channel, too.). Good job.
This channel will grow. Subscribers will tower over the 26 thousand it is today. Keep producing your thing Dan, pure class.
Thank you my man Luke🤝
Luke out here spitting facts
Hey Dan. I stumbled upon your channel recently. And am so glad! You are one of the most straightforward content creators on RUclips. I so look forward to watching all your videos. Appreciation all the way from India!
You're absolutely carving out a YOU niche with absolutely critical power & potential and Is inspiring me to write on neuro spirituality As well as Write video essays on your subject matter
Thank you for sharing your content and experience. I’m a veteran law enforcement officer & long time martial arts/meditation instructor who is always fully booked, but haven’t been able to scale my business up. I work my tail off, and have all of the requisite skill sets, but I’ve been stuck in a time-for-money rut for some time. Your content is the first I’ve seen that’s fresh and plausible enough to really pay attention to. I hope to follow your journey, and level myself up at the same time. Much gratitude for your effort.
Cheers from New Orleans.
So happy I found your content! I've been bombarded with people telling me to "niche down" the past few months and it's been sucking the life out of me... I lost all interest in even creating anymore. Your ideas and framework are awesome! Appreciate you sharing transparently!
I don’t usually watch videos this long from people I haven’t heard of, but I really value the message you’re spreading. Very Hormozi-ish with the emphasis on traffic and offers, thank you!
Sheesh, this is a helpful video! Thank you for continuing to talk about this topic. My wife and I own a small media company and we've been chewing on these 3 videos as of late.
Hey! I have found you yesterday, so nice to see someone 'real' talking about business , it is so refreshing!! It allows me to see new way to operate. Many thanks dear
Everytime I watch your videos I wind up spending an hour+ taking notes. Valuable stuff.
Man I’m so glad I’ve been able to come across your channel amazing ! 🙏🏽
I decided to write a comment which isn't typical for me, because of the depth and scope of the value you created for me in my very early start as a creator. I believe it's a way to give back in the form of not only gratitude but letting you know that from where I'm standing you have put me waaay ahead of the game. I've bought courses on how to start an online business as a creator in the past, and though they served their purpose and had their value, your objective, and applicable format gave me the clarity and confidence to apply these lessons and tools. Thank you! Thank you!
Just thought you ought to know you are an instrument to a shift governed by those who seek to make a difference.
I found you this morning, my path has crossed yours, Id say our paths have crossed but that won't happen until you read my message. I wanted to respond to this video and first off say I'm impressed with your intelligence and your ability to share your thoughts so open source. But you sir, what you do is educate and inspire people! Next time someone asks you what you do, think and ask your self this, how am I making the world a better place/experience and then simply answer, I educate and inspire people!! Sure you can elaborate way more in depth about what it is that you do and you absolutely should when someone asks you to do that ;) Blessed to have found your videos and you brother, keep it up!! Your new friend, Josh!!
Thankyou Dan! Great video keep going, You are making this world a better place!
Happy fellow birthday Libra? It’s no surprise that the universe directed me to your channel. Well done and thank you deeply for sharing 💓 I appreciate you. Keep up the good work.
What you are teaching in this video is very valuable. It took me years to learn this things and arrive on this conclusions. I hope everyone watching this video are able to absorb and start practicing.
It took me almost 3 years of blogging and I failed it. But then it only took me 6 months to start it over in the right way and make money out of it while sleeping. Failure is part of the process and if you don't start trying you won't start to fail, if you don't fail you don't learn. If you don't learn you don't succeed. If I could give only one advice to anyone it would be: Don't be afraid of failure, but make sure to fail small and early in your process.
Thanks Dan, your insight is clearing the smoke thats been blocking my path for a long time.
Time to get to work! 💪🏼
I needed to step up to a different level of my life i think god sent you to me I'm so thankful i have found you
Dan, your channel is awesome! This world can feel extremely overwhelming with how fast everything is changing especially for someone like me who is not tech savvy at all. I truly appreciate the insight and advice you give here. So begins the journey of reinventing my self.
Liked and subscribed ❤ thank you so much for this video. I’ve been feeling complacent lately and now I’m ready to truly begin my journey! God bless you!
thanks for your teachings. i just met you this year and i love the way you teach. i now look at things differently. thanks
You are one of the best youtubers on the planet. This content is brilliant, enjoyed listening to every second 😀
Excellent work, Dan. Thank you.
Thank you so much for everything you do. Very inspiring and helpful! ❤
Thank you for sharing your deep work.
You provide high value information and you've been around for a while... I don't understand why you don't have more views. Anyway, thanks for the video it's dope !
You are the man Dan! Love your fresh perspective and insight.
man, your videos are so good, you are really inspiring, thank you, gonna watch them all while i'm trying to do my one person business!
I absolutely LOVE you and your content!!! Finally someone who gets it and me😊
We have exactly the same way of thinking and evaluating things. I've never met anyone like that. This is insane. Thank you 💜
Amazing quality! Keep them coming.
I love your graphic design Dan. Thanks for your content. I learn both English and your lessons on this video.
Hey Dan, thank you so much for creating such valuable content, I’m truly inspired and have started making changes to my own business and content
Glad I found you channel Dan.
Thank you for the video.
Great lessons! I'm a new subscriber and I love your honesty and transparency. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed from binge-watching your content, but I promise I'll sit down and map out a plan to execute. Hope the one-person business model is the missing ingredient I've been looking for. Thank you for all this valuable information!
Wow you are the most mature 26 year old, I have ever met. You are so wise and helpful. When I think about the reason I started going to the gym was really superficial but my why did change and I stuck to it for a different reason.
"information is abundant.
the biggest mistake people can make is letting knowledge outpace execution. "
I need to write like you.
Instructive video. I’m taking notes in this one. Thanks, Dan!
I have passed on a lot of mentors just for the fact of learning myself everything. But i feel connected to you for you as a mentor. The past decade I was completely lost in the depth of life. It seems like waking up now and entering the game. Fresh and new. I often keep doom scrolling and jumping and have continuously gate kept myself from monetizing. Planning to see your videos to kinda stay in the zone!
@_dankoetalk bloody scammer.
This was great. I’ll have to go over it again and take notes.
Love you guy, too.
i giggled hard at the math part. thanks for sharing all of this youre gaining my interest more and more.
I just found your channel with this video in my algorithm. Keep going, it's working. And thanks for the inspiration.
Hell yeah, thank you for watching brother🙏🏻
I love your videos Dan, even the old ones like this👍🏼 Keep it up
Great value! You actually talk real stuff, it feels more personal than most of other RUclipsrs. I always wanted to have solo business with art/design, but knowledge outpaced execution. Thinking about starting a twitter account, but what do you think about future of Twitter? It got a lot of flame because of recent acquisition and firing employees. Don't you think it might go down like tumblr when down?
Thanks for giving these valuable pieces of advice!!!
I agree and thank you! Love the channel !
You conflate yourself and brand.
Brand is the overall how you get customers and build trust, comfort, and connection.
Niching down allows to targeting of specific avatar and supply them with the prerequisites for purposes.
You've branded yourself. That's a route and I applaud what you've accomplished.
This is gold for me rn. Thanks my guy. Earned a sub
Useful as always.. Thank you
I have to say, at first, these videos seemed too bland to keep my attention. But, the words, the content, the thoughtfulness, successfully captivated my intellect. Thank you for insights that Stoke my entrepreneurial fire.
You're the man Dan!!
Just now finding your content, and just wanted to say a special thanks for what you're putting out into the world. I needed to hear what you said on tip #10 so thanks for that epiphany!
Thanks Dan. Your videos are very helpful!
This is so valuable. I'm from Madagascar, your videos are helping me a lot.
You’re an absolute beast man. Much love
Thank you Dan!
Just subscribed, excited for the information I’m about to digest from your channel!
Thank you for being here my friend🙏🏻
Its good to know you follow Naval Ravikant as well, that man changed my life and I thank Joe Rogan for bringing him into my life.
You should reach 1M subscribers very soon, keep on producing the new content! I found the content of your videos quite intense (you frequently have something new and quite deep to tell) which is a very good sign in general. There are not much people who produce the content so intense and deep as yours is. Therefore the very good future is awaiting you, man! Thanks for the content! One more subscriber with the bell icon clicked here. ;)
Great content, literally every video I watch resonates entirely with me! Motivates me more to crack on with the journey I've already started and make myself into a one man business! Cheers!
Curated content, how other people did it and how I'm going to do it. This 🎯
Just found your channel and it's like you're speaking straight from my SOUL! idk if I just joined a cult, or if I wanna be you when I grow up lol. Thanks for the amazing content!!
Thanks dude, really great style with your videos. Just honest!
I m learning of your videos too many things, you're soo rich in mind, soo helpful video ❤
Here before Dan blows up. This content is valuable, cheers to you sir.
❤😂 Love it, ”stop outsourcing questions you can ask yourself”
You are awesoma man!
You're a legend my friend
Bro, I randomly came across your channel maybe 2 weeks ago and I am genuinely tracking with you. Thanks for making this content man
Glad we've crossed paths brother, thank you for watching🙏🏻
@@DanKoeTalks Same here, anytime! If I can help you in any way, I'm here. I create similar content and do similar things. Have a great 1!
this guy just became my favorite youtuber
Here's a summary:
1. It's all traffic and offers
Have the right people watching and build a good product to offer.
2. Need 3 Levers
>Growth lever- keep posting engaging content and growing your audience.
>Nurture lever- educate the audience towards your interests and the problem you solve.
>Monetization lever- keep promoting your offer regularly. have a systemized promotion shedule.
3. Question Everything
Dont make peoples advice your laws.
break away from the limiting beliefs especially about business. do you!
for eg on niching down, dont niche down rather go broad but sell on something specific.
4.Deconstruct everything
deconstructing complex topics or anything is the key to creativity. a whole into its different pieces and turn it into something new. connect the dots from your learnings from your different interests.
5. Dont quit Pivot
in the pursuit of your goal it is okay to pivot along the way. it is unique to you. you are allowed to start over with a better knowledge bank. dont worry its not shiny object syndrome.
6. copy your way to success: steal like an artist
we all are the product of or an unequal proportionate mixture of everything around us from the time we were born till now. Use it your advantage, see good things around your interest, interpret the way you do adopt it and create something with it.
7. Most profitable niche is you
It is the age of authenticity. get ahead of the curve by productizing yourself. get paid for what you enjoy doing. make your life goals your brand.
8. Self-awareness is key
marketing is just applied psycholgy. you can learn that by observing your own actions and reactions to stuff and deconstructing it down to why it happened. implement what you learned in your content.
9. Start then learn
dont let knowledge outpace your execution.
build something on side while you gain knowledge. a project to add to what you consume.
10. Create your own career
own career is not something that can be taught to anyone. you are not replacable in your career.
you do that by following your inrersts. following what works in your own way. continue doing it iterate and continue till it something that you can call your own niche.
a sum of all your interests ; your own category.
11. Lack of experience is not an excuse
it is a limiting belief that stops you from starting but only when you start you will gain experience.
dont let your mind scare you in not pursuing the thing you want.
think bigger picture.
Loved it, Dan
xx Thanks xx
Solid info thanks !
great content thanks for sharing
