This is so inspiring!!!!! Love your videos and you Skool group! Bummed I did not get in your first group, but it gives me time to build and hopefully be more ready for the next round. Thanks for the tips on how to answer the questions better next time too.
Oh my from $37000 went to $72000 wow!!!! Am do happy for you because you really deserve it. Praying that I can get there too. Just want to make this a FT job too❤❤❤
Im convinced that the most lucrative business out there is a business that teaches people how to develop a business that teaches people how to develop a business that teaches people... You get the idea.
I started my channel last week, I am 50+ yrs old and gonna try and make it work, I had no idea of my niche but it came to me in my dream, ty for the info and inspiration, gl and bless🙏🏽🙏🏽
I feel just like you, I am 55 and an artist but wasnt sure whether to do something with my art on here but am really motivated to do something! Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Ok…this is a appreciation comment, I have watched so many videos and followed so many people through the years on RUclips to try and see how it’s done and understand how, and you are the first person that has laid out simply and the first person that isn’t a pyramid scheme or just looking for my click on the video, everything you have said in the last videos after I found you a week ago has helped me immensely and I thank you very much, as a RUclips junkie I’m letting you know you were doing an amazing job. Keep going.!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, because I got so many hate comments on this video describing exactly the opposite, so it is really nice to hear. That is my intention to provide how I am doing it so you can do it as well if you desire. I know I tend to ramble but I want to provide an actionable process. I deeply appreciate you taking the time to write this comment. xoxo
I 2nd this persons comment. Some of us really need to see the truth and what it’s going to take of us to make a channel. Also, what type of possibility is there. Truthfulness may take a little longer to build a solid channel, but your channel will last a lifetime when you are truthful. There world is tired of the lies and schemes and there are always trolls on the internet trying to harm a persons confidence 😢 your a teacher 👩🏫 be you and there are a lot of us who are thankful for you ❤
Consider putting your LLC into a Trust. It gives you two layers of separation rather than just one layer of separation. Also, if something happens to you, you can will your trust to your kids.
Can an LLC be put into a special needs trust (Special needs trusts are protected that beneficiaries can still recieve social services. Unfortunately money in special needs trusts are not alloeed to be used on things like rent, bills, or food, leaving disabled people screwed. I have met so many unhoused people on SSI, SSDI, veterans benefits, etc who are homeless because the benefits are not enlught to afford housing.)? I am developmentally disabled with level 2 Autism (85% of Autistics are unemployed). I am trying for Disability. I also fear CARE Court and losing rights over myself. Word is if I am not actively working (i.e. if I can set up automated income or I hire someone else to do all the work), I can stay on benefits if I get it. I am at constant risk of homelessness, was just unhoused for 5 years and got Section 8, but finding and keeping work is a nightmare. We have CARE Court that I can lose all of my rights and wind up in conservatorship simply for being unhoused and disabled, and I bave greed biological family (I am applying for SSDI and am not already on Disabikity as my sister's boyfriend was coaching her on getting Disability and becoming the autborized user so she could spend the money on whatever she wanted and was already financially abusing me, so I had to beg the evaluaging psychiatrist from SSA to let me work. I only managed to get a part tome job because of a hiring fluke where they let me skip the interview thinking I would quit the next step so they wouldn't have to deal with my questions, only to give me employment paperwork because of a clear cut case of sex discriminatuon with more than 10 witnesses. Now I cannot get Disability because I worked a day in my life. I do not want my siblings to come after me if I ever come into money, and they are the type to take my rights away just to get my share of an inheritance coming eventually.). I have an intended designated conservator, but I cannot afford a lawyer for all of this to get everything set up legally for myself.
As an experienced program manager, I want to applaud you for a sharing a real, viable process with the added details of what limitations you discovered along the way! SO awesome! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your success, Alexa.
Just three days ago, my husband and I took the leap and started our RUclips cooking channel. We’re at 7 subscribers, and it feels amazing to know people are already tuning in! Starting this journey was the best decision, and we’re excited to keep sharing our love for cooking with our subscribers. Here’s to growth and success for everyone following their passion!
Good for you girl! I’m 67 and about to retire to Thailand. I intend to start a RUclips channel and would be happy to make around £500 a month. So after seeing what you have achieved and in such a short amount of time, I’m more than confident that I can achieve that. Thank you x
I hope your channel is about retiring to Thailand. I did a series of blog posts on alternative ways of living for people who can no longer afford the American Dream, and one of my blog posts was on people living overseas to save money, and I featured a number of videos where people talk about how much they pay for basic necessities in various locations. So I know there's a demand for those types of videos. People have a lot of questions about not only cost, but government paperwork/visas, can you work there, can you run a business/side hustle, how easy is it to navigate the country without speaking the language, what about health care, dental, and vision, how safe is it, what are things that are illegal there that aren't in most Western countries (i.e. how to stay out of trouble), etc. There are so many questions people have and documenting your experience with the process from the very beginning (most channels seem to start after they're already there, so you miss out on the paperwork applications and what to do with all your stuff and pets as you permanently pull up stakes and move halfway around the world).
Great video, I've been interested in investing ever since I came across articles of people making up to $150,000 and more in this period, thanks for the video but is it really possible for a retail investor to achieve this in months?
I've purchased numerous stocks in individual firms. Because there are so many stocks that will skyrocket in the long run, it is currently safe to buy in on ETF and ride it out. Due to fud, I sold out early, but then retraced my ways and re-invested $350,000 with a financial advisor who manages my account. I received an 82% return last year and will see where it goes this year.
@@MehdiVerlinden-w7zI just started a few months back, I'm going for long term, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, who's this advisor you work with?
I work with Caroline Suzan Olson, her services are cost effective and very efficient. I recommend her to anyone, anytime any day. she's really great You can do your own due diligence.
Hi Alexa, I am disabled had my own business until the start of COVID which meant turnover hit rock bottom, I could have kept it going but my wife convinced me to give it up as i was dealing with the public all the time and although I'm not rich I had enough money to get by, I also had health issues so I gave it up in march 2020. My wife became ill with cancer and passed away in July 2020. Myself I became ill and over the next two years was in hospital five times the last time for 7 weeks and got out just before Christmas 2023 and unable to walk or do much for myself since then I have learnt to walk again and drive my car. I am now trying to get my RUclips channel going and i am determined to do it, I don't care about making money on RUclips (it would be nice though) it's just something to do and keep my mind active. Watching your videos has helped push me on. I can, I will, I know I can do it. Well done to you, keep it up. Forgot to say I'm 68 now and i have mobility issues so its never too late to start.
l was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gats me $73,000 monthly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇸❣️❤️❤️
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Alexa! Your such an inspiration! You have been so dedicated! I just started my channel. I do think the niche helps a lot. The channels where you help others earn more money have a wider audience than other niches.
Congrats!! I have 3 videos up as of now and boy, it's different from IG. I'm still waiting for my first subscriber, I know it'll come so I wanted to say I'm so happy for you.
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing, and sad that so many didn’t stay for the whole thing. If others can’t see the value of what you’re sharing, it says a lot.
Hello Alexa, I made a comment on one of your videos about 3 months ago about me being too shy to be on camera! I got the opportunity to do some Masonry repair work, but now I'm finished and I intend to start making videos again! so far when I quit I had only made five videos but you have convinced me to restart and do what I can, if I can't provide any value to anyone in the next 6 months then I will think about quitting. THANK YOU ALEXA! I forgot to add congratulations you're doing great!
Thank you for being so encouraging! I started my crafting channel in July, and I also publish books in the crafting niche, so my channel explores my book collection and basically is about me having fun making stuff using the books. I really love RUclips and both you and Silver and Solo have really inspired me (I’m in my mid 50s, and used to be a teacher). Thank you for everything you do! 😊
Alexa, we have so much in common it made me emotional. I know all about the hard life of being a teacher, the vocational calling, the way you feel when you're making a difference and helping and motivating your students and I also know how it breaks you if you lose your job. I believe it's how you get up again and move forward. I found your "turn around" so inspiring and will look at your videos. Hopefully I can also join one of your programmes. Keep it up!
I'm a doctor, too. My new RUclips page hasn't been moving much. I also have a free skool and give out lots of freebies. Looking forward to learning more of your methods.
I have followed you since before you blew up because I could relate to you. This is amazing! If you can do this I can do this!!! Thank you for sharing everything with us!!!❤
I'm so glad I found your channel! I am not new per se to online marketing, but I was already making good money so didn't take any of it seriously. And that played a role in the skeptisism that my wife has for me starting a YT channel even though my idea is solid now that I have found MY niche vs going after something that didn't feel right. Or one, or more methodologies, that felt scammy. This video alone is enough to encourage and kick start my butt into gear. Thank you for making this video.
This is really amazing girl! I feel so inspired. Thank you for sharing your journey as it's giving me more motivation to stay stable with the process and make the right decisions with what to do next! 🥰🥰
New subscriber! Your enthusiasm is super encouraging and i just want to be able to replace my income and spend more time with kids as well. I couldn't do RUclips as i wouldn't know what i could do and do videos but am trying other online side hustles and you are super inspiring to try and not give up!! Thank you so much!!
Sounds awesome my channel is about building Jeeps not sure how I could do anything like your talking about . I lost my job because my mom and brother were battling cancer and I missed to much time from work . My wife is allowing me to go after my dreams building my channel and my brand that me and my brother come up with before he passed
I didn't watch the video I'm just scrolling through comments Jeeps it might help to show people how they can fix things and replace things in their Jeep and maybe it can become an affiliate for a company that sells parts and accessories and stuff for Jeeps so then people can just click on your link to order the part the an affiliate for a company that sells the tools you would need to do the stuff you're doing basically anything that you're including in the channel find a way to monetize it even if it's a paint color become an affiliate or get a code for your viewers to order the paint from that particular company that you ordered from
I found your YT channel last week. I have been putting off creating my channel for my business, and because of your channel I bought some things that I was missing and I'm going to start. Your videos are direct, simple without over-editing (don't take this as a negative, but I love videos with real content and without over-production). I have 20 years of experience in business launches and product development, and I want to bring it to RUclips to share my knowlegde, but I've always been waiting for the right moment, and you managed to turn on that "click" inside me. I'm enjoying following you. Keep up the great work.
I have been wanting to become a serious full time RUclipsr but I don’t how and where to start I don’t know what to start about I dont know anything about YouTubing what so ever. It is my life long dream to travel and see the world I believe RUclips is a great way to showcase that but unfortunately I don’t have the money to do so. Learning RUclips is a great resource to hopefully see the world I want to be able to leave my job in the medical field.
You could start making local videos of places to see where you live, a lot of travel vloggers use credit cards and build up airline miles to travel until RUclips starts to fund their journey. Goodluck!
Thank you sharing the analytics and spreadsheets. I admire your organization and process. It seems obvious we should do this but sometimes we forget about these very important steps. Thank you for this very helpful content. 🙏🏼💗
Appreciate your continued dedication to helping average folks try to build wealth and not get rekt in the process, I love your confidence so keep shrugging off the naysayers. Your experience is clear and I look forward to your pragmatic and bullish viewpoints in a world that’s increasingly easy to get caught up in the constant negativity and bearish sentiment.... Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Evelyn Infurna, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
Evelyn goes deeper than just looking at surface-level trends. she explores technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis, offering a comprehensive perspective on the market..
Blab away! You’re excited and it’s awesome to see! I’m applying this instant success story to my writing and finding my community of readers for my books. Thank you for the inspiration!
19:22 100% agree on this Alexa, when you are ahead or getting great results thats the time to put your foot on the pedal, do not ease off, double down when things are going well.
Thank you for your honesty. I’m curious as to how/when you felt qualified to coach people on how to grow their RUclips channel and when it was that you had that desire? Is your coach helping you structure this business?
I still don't feel qualified! haha But yes, you can start helping people right away as long as you are little bit ahead of them. Yes, coaching does help me structure my business. It gives me great insight to the needs of my viewers and helps influence a lot of what I do.
Hello Dear, here watching and supporting my fellow content creators, not easy on these YT streets so thanks for posting this content, here to encourage you to keep going, keep pushing forward, thumbs up and blessing to you.
I've just hit the 9k mark thanks to all the inspiration and guidance you guys have given, I don't sell anything but my shorts have really helped in such a short time
You have been an inspiration for me. I just started my 2nd channel. My first one is faceles channel. I used it to learn about computers and editing. I finally started the second on last week doing a 30-day day content challenge. I hope it will help with my on-screen appearance and find out the areas that need to improve. Especially since I come from absolutely no experience in technology. I also have learning disabilities and focus problems. With everybody on your platform, giving me encouragement and just pulling up my big girl pants and getting it done. Thank you for being so supporting to all of your ❤️ 💗 💜
@@hardworksmart a lot of the reacts and engagement that propel this is probably due to the massive amount of like for like and comment for comment type of bs which propels engagement. Same thing people do for free on FB etc without having to break Hormozi off so he can flood my news feeds with ads. The fact he’s going that and getting trolled in comments shows that Skool is drowning.
Here the steps she took: Yes, the steps you mentioned can be summarized as follows: 1. Provide Free Value on RUclips: Start by building your audience on RUclips by offering valuable, free content that speaks to your target audience's needs. 2. Create a Community Platform: Direct your RUclips viewers to your community platform (like a school account or membership site) where they can access even more free content and resources. This allows you to nurture a community and build trust. 3. Offer Paid Coaching Services: From your community platform, offer your coaching or program services as paid options, with the free content and support serving as a lead-in to your higher-ticket offerings. Now go and spread what you love out into this World.
Hi Alexa! I've just discovered your videos! Thanks a lot for this video and for your genuinity, I really appreciate that you share all these tips with us :)
Wow, congratulations on your incredible success! I’ve recently started my own RUclips channel, and stories like yours give me hope that one day, I’ll also be able to monetize and grow my channel. Thanks for sharing your journey-it really motivates me to keep pushing forward!
A lot of people who do Shorts have a coach or coaching team. It's mostly acting lessons and performance, but it's entertaing and people find it fun to watch, or watch for a learning experience. Thanks for showing some details on what you've done to monetize.
I’ve attempted to start so many times. I appreciate this so much. Since my husband and I became full time RVers, so much has opened up for us in both our professional lives. I attribute it to doing what we love in life and lifestyle. Your videos are giving me the umph I needed to start recording! Thank you!
Hi Alexa, no work is no results which is no payment. When you enjoy what you do, you do not focus on the payment; it all boils down to who you have made happy, and through that, you receive your rewards as you have.
3:33 not sure of that book or the title, but i have always loved the thought / quote of "dont have a plan B, plan B only takes away from plan A" if theres no B you gotta hit the A plan! Burn the boats, no turning back. Great stuff Alexa!
You explained everything but as an ADHDer, I have more questions. With "just start" what were you posting? How did you decide to coach people on something you just started to do yourself? What did you do for marketing? I feel a lot of pieces of the beginning of your journey were left out. Any chance you can cover these questions? Thank you!!
Yes, most definitely. Someone else was asking the same question as well. Great idea. IT was all such a whilrwind but now the dust has settled and I feel like I can explain it better. Will do! coming right up! xo
This is fascinating Alexa - thank you for putting yourself out there to explain your process of how you built this! I'm almost 40, have like a handful of subscribers so interested in things like this (but also terrified lol). Thank you! Edited to add -- You speak SO WELL for an introvert!! How did you overcome any apprehension (if you had any)? I have a hard time speaking directly to the camera, but am totally OK with voice overs... Just wondering if you have time to answer, thank you in advance!
Hmmm it's weird I cannot speak in public like this or even at a party, but on camera it's no problem. It's like my safe space. I think I just imagine I'm helping people and that my words have an impact. Deep to my core I care, so this space, the filming space, when it's just me I can do it without any struggle. If my husband is around and can hear me though, it's much harder or even if my 12 year old is around. I can speak freely with my 3 year old listening but I do get more self conscious with others around...so yea, I'm not sure if this helps at all. xoxo
Great job and very inspiring. Took me a year and a half on youtube before finally hitting it big. By the way you can write off the square footage of that room and whatever percent that is of your house you can also deduct any services to maintain your house and utilities.
Hi ! New to your channel. I appreciate the transparency and honedt feedback. It helps to put things into perspective! I am working on starting my YT journey 💪
i’m confused when you say you’re a new youtuber and you’ve been here since may but your channel goes back 5 years? when you say you’ve been here since may what does that mean?
I saw her channel before it blew up, before May she had less than 500 subscribers and wasn't even close to being monetized. She has grown a lot in these past 5 months.
@@daytodaykatshe should have a playlist that is tracking this whole journey. “Journey to monetization” It will show you where her subs were at 20weeks ago. This series has been the thing that has given her all of this success. She really has been working her butt off for sure.
I did that to myself 2 years ago. Things started rolling along in my energy work and I energetically shut off the tap because it felt like too much. Such a lesson. Watching your journey, what I love is that after you grew your channel, people started asking you for help organically. That's the dream.... it makes it so much easier than trying to figure out what to sell. Offering value and support is the winning road.
You are such a great inspiration Alexa! I want to add a one thing just in case you didn’t know. You mentioned not being able to refund your office as you work from home, but you actually can. There are two options: one is the flat rate of few hundred euros a year (don’t remember the exact number) and another one is based on the square meters. For example if your house is 100 sqm and your expenses are 1000 € and you use 10 sqm as an office, you can refund 1:10 = 100 € a month. You probably know this and just gave a short explanation but I just wanted to tell this as I know many solopreneurs are not aware of this.
You touched on something very important. You found your "enough" moment then you were convinced to do more because you can help more people. Don't be swayed into doing more. Just because you can help more people, doesn't mean you should help more people, you're not meant to. Revisit your "enough" moment because you are enough. Doing more, helping more, earning more, does not equate to your happiness, your financial freedom. The answer is "enough", not more. Your family, your mental health and your channel will be in a better head space. Spoken with love.
Yes, good point. But it wasn't an enough thing it was a "be nice and don't ask for more" thing actually. I've always been told to be happy with what you have and get, and not to ask for more, be grateful. Which I am very grateful for everything in life, but it was also holding me back. So yes, I totally see your point, but this was in the real of not feeling worthy or enough, but rather in the fact that it's ok to want more and do more. If that makes sense. Yes, it's so hard to express things fully and clearly without context on youtube. I appreciate your comment though and it is an important one!
Thanks for sharing! I’m almost to 1000 subs. I’ve been sharing more this year- and my goal is to share consistent weekly videos on developing a creative brand❤
Thank you for this video. It really has inspired me. I literally started my RUclips channel one day ago as a 45 year old. This is a niche that I’m really passionate about. God Bless❤
Yes of course, here is a link to his skool membership..he has a free version as well, but this is him and if you mention you found him through me he offers a free channel analysis. www.skool.com/great/about
I feel like this method works because of your niche. I feel like you're transitioning into sales and consulting. A lot of the people you're helping aren't in that sort of a niche. I think the story here is that youtube ad revenue wasn't enough by itself. Obviously super happy for you and have been following through your monetization journey... just wondering if these videos are helping me a little less.
Could you teach what you do? Why couldn't you offer courses? Or affiliate or selling your pottery, there are so many avenues for making money on youtube.
This is amazing. Initially it is about working our but off first before things start to move. But your excitement is contagious. And I just also turned 45 too and didn't really think of youtube although I've been on it over 10 years in different forms. Being that this is different as from a musician point of view it is fully a burn out. (because you are writing and takes a lot of time and the value is feeling like giving away a lot of free value) Yet I've done this a lot in real life too. Door to door selling. But the fact that you are saying you still have time with family and kids now that perks viewers up. But it was only in the last 3 years that I've been taking things seriously (like a job) but the challenge is relying on content but not knowing anything about advertising or selling on youtube. And if you mention it friends may scoff at you or you sound like a crazy person. So what I'd say which many may not realize first off is. Be aware that not everyone will be excited as you in the beginning and unfortunately talk your dreams down. But yes this question knowing if your coaching works. And the course seems initially overwhelming. Yet in my personal place. Chasing people versus people coming to you is one of the keys to realize hrmm people are interested. But I'm glad this popped up. But the rating of system of how ready people are is also so true. I realize most of my friends aren't ready but they like the idea of things. But it's only recently that people have been wanting me to promote their things or possibilities in affiliate marketting. But I've been researching all the tax stuff and monetization stuff...And advertising. That I realized as this artist DIY person. Sort of rubbed me the wrong way as is it wise to promote products....yet it depends if you actually do genuinely care about them. I got a few actual affiliate links lately. But figurin out how to integrate them without it being so jarring. Lol but then I realized oh youtube was already stuffing all these ads in my videos and I realized hrm..maybe I should pay attention. But thats it actually. It's amazing though that you just haven't been here so long. And that's the thing it doesn't matter if its short or lol 10 years. It's having a decision to try things and go bigger. Hoepfully that wasn't so long winded. But lol hopefully im not just one of those people that is writing a long paragraph. I think people do want to grow their channel but it's also moving things to their main plate. Ability to juggle many things
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing all this. I am happy to see how it turned out for you ✌️ i think you will pass 20k in less than 2 weeks at this rate 🤗
Hey this is a super inspiring video I just have a quick question If you do payment plans- how do you ensure people keep paying monthly if they're not getting the results they are looking for for whatever circumstance comes up in their life? Is there a binding contract or credit unions get involved etcetera.. Thank you so much for taking the bull by the horns and helping us do the same
I have a contract that they have signed with the payment plan noted in it. However, nothing fully protects you. If you can take the full payment upfront that would be the way to go to ensure you get paid.
Good video. Question? If you're just starting out how can you show people a "How to grow on RUclips" if your channel is brand new? Or Are you recommending that we do a high value class on whatever our niche is?
Become a knowledge reporter. When I started and still even now, I am not showcasing myself as the guru or master youtuber, but rather sharing what I am learing as I go and what I am learning from master youtubers. So that is the way you could do it. Test things that you learn then share what works! Hope this helps!
@@AlexaSaarenoja I like proposing it from that perspective "knowledge reporter" Alexa! Great advice and thanks again! This is very helpful. You're awesome!💯
?!?! How did you create that much value in such an unrealistically short time?! So grateful for this video … and “once you grow your YT channel”. I thought this was from a new RUclipsr and for beginners. Curious because this title comes across like a get rich quick scheme. But what mom isn’t going to at least tune in to check it out?
WOW! Wanting to start a youtube channel as well. Single mom of three kids and with the amount of everything going up these days I feel like Im drowning. My electric is at risk for being shut off but Im trying. I dont know where to squeeze from to get more. This helps and I so hope to be able to earn some extra money! NO WAIT....I WILL earn some extra money!!!
Easier to speak than write so here's a quick video response for you. www.loom.com/share/0a56708aaacb4265a3c056a56ff3dd8a?sid=bc024b7f-1c96-40a7-a039-237b3171508e
IT is impressive! I would love to have the same experience as yours. But I am not sure I can achieve it at least half the money you did. I do not have a channel in you tube nor followers in some other social media platforms. Eventhough you video is so inspiring thank you very much.
The summary is this: she didn't make the money on RUclips, she made it on direct sales calls selling coaching about RUclips. Still a great success story, but the title is very misleading
Still a great path. And she detailed the income and expenses. Mind blowing how she understands the difference between expense and investment. Thanks for sharing Alexa
Hey everyone! I really hope this motivates you and shows you what is possible! If I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!! xoxo
This is very impressive.
This is so inspiring!!!!! Love your videos and you Skool group! Bummed I did not get in your first group, but it gives me time to build and hopefully be more ready for the next round. Thanks for the tips on how to answer the questions better next time too.
Oh my from $37000 went to $72000 wow!!!! Am do happy for you because you really deserve it.
Praying that I can get there too. Just want to make this a FT job too❤❤❤
This was really motivational topic
Thank you for sharing this!
Im convinced that the most lucrative business out there is a business that teaches people how to develop a business that teaches people how to develop a business that teaches people...
You get the idea.
Best comment ever
Yup these liars are all full of SH-T
I've noticed this too 😅
Facts.

I deeply appreciate you taking the time to write this comment. xoxo
Agree 100%!!❤❤❤❤
I 2nd this persons comment.
Some of us really need to see the truth and what it’s going to take of us to make a channel. Also, what type of possibility is there. Truthfulness may take a little longer to build a solid channel, but your channel will last a lifetime when you are truthful. There world is tired of the lies and schemes and there are always trolls on the internet trying to harm a persons confidence 😢 your a teacher 👩🏫 be you and there are a lot of us who are thankful for you ❤
Yes, the best advice I received AND acted on was to just START😊
Exactly! Well done!
Consider putting your LLC into a Trust. It gives you two layers of separation rather than just one layer of separation. Also, if something happens to you, you can will your trust to your kids.
Oh great thank you!
Can an LLC be put into a special needs trust (Special needs trusts are protected that beneficiaries can still recieve social services. Unfortunately money in special needs trusts are not alloeed to be used on things like rent, bills, or food, leaving disabled people screwed. I have met so many unhoused people on SSI, SSDI, veterans benefits, etc who are homeless because the benefits are not enlught to afford housing.)? I am developmentally disabled with level 2 Autism (85% of Autistics are unemployed). I am trying for Disability. I also fear CARE Court and losing rights over myself. Word is if I am not actively working (i.e. if I can set up automated income or I hire someone else to do all the work), I can stay on benefits if I get it. I am at constant risk of homelessness, was just unhoused for 5 years and got Section 8, but finding and keeping work is a nightmare. We have CARE Court that I can lose all of my rights and wind up in conservatorship simply for being unhoused and disabled, and I bave greed biological family (I am applying for SSDI and am not already on Disabikity as my sister's boyfriend was coaching her on getting Disability and becoming the autborized user so she could spend the money on whatever she wanted and was already financially abusing me, so I had to beg the evaluaging psychiatrist from SSA to let me work. I only managed to get a part tome job because of a hiring fluke where they let me skip the interview thinking I would quit the next step so they wouldn't have to deal with my questions, only to give me employment paperwork because of a clear cut case of sex discriminatuon with more than 10 witnesses. Now I cannot get Disability because I worked a day in my life. I do not want my siblings to come after me if I ever come into money, and they are the type to take my rights away just to get my share of an inheritance coming eventually.). I have an intended designated conservator, but I cannot afford a lawyer for all of this to get everything set up legally for myself.
As an experienced program manager, I want to applaud you for a sharing a real, viable process with the added details of what limitations you discovered along the way! SO awesome! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your success, Alexa.
Just three days ago, my husband and I took the leap and started our RUclips cooking channel. We’re at 7 subscribers, and it feels amazing to know people are already tuning in! Starting this journey was the best decision, and we’re excited to keep sharing our love for cooking with our subscribers. Here’s to growth and success for everyone following their passion!
Great job! Keep going!

Me too! 10 subscribers 😊
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! The all or nothing mindset truly scales to greatness!!! Thank you so much for this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just started my RUclips channel and I really appreciate this video. Thank you 😊
Good for you girl!
I’m 67 and about to retire to Thailand. I intend to start a RUclips channel and would be happy to make around £500 a month. So after seeing what you have achieved and in such a short amount of time, I’m more than confident that I can achieve that. Thank you x
I hope your channel is about retiring to Thailand. I did a series of blog posts on alternative ways of living for people who can no longer afford the American Dream, and one of my blog posts was on people living overseas to save money, and I featured a number of videos where people talk about how much they pay for basic necessities in various locations. So I know there's a demand for those types of videos. People have a lot of questions about not only cost, but government paperwork/visas, can you work there, can you run a business/side hustle, how easy is it to navigate the country without speaking the language, what about health care, dental, and vision, how safe is it, what are things that are illegal there that aren't in most Western countries (i.e. how to stay out of trouble), etc.
There are so many questions people have and documenting your experience with the process from the very beginning (most channels seem to start after they're already there, so you miss out on the paperwork applications and what to do with all your stuff and pets as you permanently pull up stakes and move halfway around the world).
I just started recording my videos in Thailand. I love this place! Good luck in Thailand.
Show the lifestyle, food, cafes, restaurants, things to do. Asia is a great place to capture content.
Great video, I've been interested in investing ever since I came across articles of people making up to $150,000 and more in this period, thanks for the video but is it really possible for a retail investor to achieve this in months?
I've purchased numerous stocks in individual firms. Because there are so many stocks that will skyrocket in the long run, it is currently safe to buy in on ETF and ride it out. Due to fud, I sold out early, but then retraced my ways and re-invested $350,000 with a financial advisor who manages my account. I received an 82% return last year and will see where it goes this year.
That's quite impressive, you surely made a good bit of money. I myself invested in warren's BRK-A stock quite pricey but totally worth it.
@@MehdiVerlinden-w7zI just started a few months back, I'm going for long term, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, who's this advisor you work with?
I work with Caroline Suzan Olson, her services are cost effective and very efficient. I recommend her to anyone, anytime any day. she's really great You can do your own due diligence.
Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
Hi Alexa, I am disabled had my own business until the start of COVID which meant turnover hit rock bottom, I could have kept it going but my wife convinced me to give it up as i was dealing with the public all the time and although I'm not rich I had enough money to get by, I also had health issues so I gave it up in march 2020. My wife became ill with cancer and passed away in July 2020. Myself I became ill and over the next two years was in hospital five times the last time for 7 weeks and got out just before Christmas 2023 and unable to walk or do much for myself since then I have learnt to walk again and drive my car. I am now trying to get my RUclips channel going and i am determined to do it, I don't care about making money on RUclips (it would be nice though) it's just something to do and keep my mind active. Watching your videos has helped push me on. I can, I will, I know I can do it. Well done to you, keep it up. Forgot to say I'm 68 now and i have mobility issues so its never too late to start.
It's never too late I'm physically disabled and wheelchair bound yet just started my channel as well...keep up
l was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Jessica), and a stream of income that gats me $73,000 monthly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇸❣️❤️❤️
Excuse me for real?, how is that possible I have struggling financially, how was that possible?
I'm inspired. Please spill some sugar about the bimonthly stuff you mentioned
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Mrs Kate Elizabeth Becherer❤️❤️
Her top notch guidance and expertise on digital market changed the game for me
Alexa! Your such an inspiration! You have been so dedicated! I just started my channel. I do think the niche helps a lot. The channels where you help others earn more money have a wider audience than other niches.
Congrats!! I have 3 videos up as of now and boy, it's different from IG. I'm still waiting for my first subscriber, I know it'll come so I wanted to say I'm so happy for you.
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing, and sad that so many didn’t stay for the whole thing. If others can’t see the value of what you’re sharing, it says a lot.
Hello Alexa, I made a comment on one of your videos about 3 months ago about me being too shy to be on camera! I got the opportunity to do some Masonry repair work, but now I'm finished and I intend to start making videos again! so far when I quit I had only made five videos but you have convinced me to restart and do what I can, if I can't provide any value to anyone in the next 6 months then I will think about quitting. THANK YOU ALEXA! I forgot to add congratulations you're doing great!
Thank you for being so encouraging! I started my crafting channel in July, and I also publish books in the crafting niche, so my channel explores my book collection and basically is about me having fun making stuff using the books. I really love RUclips and both you and Silver and Solo have really inspired me (I’m in my mid 50s, and used to be a teacher). Thank you for everything you do! 😊
Silver and Solo inspired me as well! xoxo Best of luck with your journey!
Alexa, we have so much in common it made me emotional. I know all about the hard life of being a teacher, the vocational calling, the way you feel when you're making a difference and helping and motivating your students and I also know how it breaks you if you lose your job.
I believe it's how you get up again and move forward.
I found your "turn around" so inspiring and will look at your videos. Hopefully I can also join one of your programmes.
Keep it up!
Watching from Brazil. I am 48 and you are really inspiring me! Thank you! ❤
I'm a doctor, too. My new RUclips page hasn't been moving much. I also have a free skool and give out lots of freebies. Looking forward to learning more of your methods.
What is your channel?
I have followed you since before you blew up because I could relate to you. This is amazing! If you can do this I can do this!!!
Thank you for sharing everything with us!!!❤
YEs, you freaking can! I truly believe it! That's why I'm here.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I am not new per se to online marketing, but I was already making good money so didn't take any of it seriously. And that played a role in the skeptisism that my wife has for me starting a YT channel even though my idea is solid now that I have found MY niche vs going after something that didn't feel right. Or one, or more methodologies, that felt scammy. This video alone is enough to encourage and kick start my butt into gear. Thank you for making this video.
This is really amazing girl! I feel so inspired. Thank you for sharing your journey as it's giving me more motivation to stay stable with the process and make the right decisions with what to do next! 🥰🥰
Awesome to hear! Keep going!
New subscriber! Your enthusiasm is super encouraging and i just want to be able to replace my income and spend more time with kids as well. I couldn't do RUclips as i wouldn't know what i could do and do videos but am trying other online side hustles and you are super inspiring to try and not give up!! Thank you so much!!
That's great! Do whatever you are drawn to and go all in. Wishing you the best with it!
Sounds awesome my channel is about building Jeeps not sure how I could do anything like your talking about . I lost my job because my mom and brother were battling cancer and I missed to much time from work . My wife is allowing me to go after my dreams building my channel and my brand that me and my brother come up with before he passed
I didn't watch the video I'm just scrolling through comments Jeeps it might help to show people how they can fix things and replace things in their Jeep and maybe it can become an affiliate for a company that sells parts and accessories and stuff for Jeeps so then people can just click on your link to order the part the an affiliate for a company that sells the tools you would need to do the stuff you're doing basically anything that you're including in the channel find a way to monetize it even if it's a paint color become an affiliate or get a code for your viewers to order the paint from that particular company that you ordered from
I found your YT channel last week. I have been putting off creating my channel for my business, and because of your channel I bought some things that I was missing and I'm going to start. Your videos are direct, simple without over-editing (don't take this as a negative, but I love videos with real content and without over-production).
I have 20 years of experience in business launches and product development, and I want to bring it to RUclips to share my knowlegde, but I've always been waiting for the right moment, and you managed to turn on that "click" inside me. I'm enjoying following you. Keep up the great work.
You can do it!
I have been wanting to become a serious full time RUclipsr but I don’t how and where to start I don’t know what to start about I dont know anything about YouTubing what so ever. It is my life long dream to travel and see the world I believe RUclips is a great way to showcase that but unfortunately I don’t have the money to do so. Learning RUclips is a great resource to hopefully see the world I want to be able to leave my job in the medical field.
You could start making local videos of places to see where you live, a lot of travel vloggers use credit cards and build up airline miles to travel until RUclips starts to fund their journey. Goodluck!
Thank you sharing the analytics and spreadsheets. I admire your organization and process. It seems obvious we should do this but sometimes we forget about these very important steps.
Thank you for this very helpful content. 🙏🏼💗
May I ask... What are the deliverables on monthly coaching / consultation you do and what products are included as well?
Appreciate your continued dedication to helping average folks try to build wealth and not get rekt in the process, I love your confidence so keep shrugging off the naysayers. Your experience is clear and I look forward to your pragmatic and bullish viewpoints in a world that’s increasingly easy to get caught up in the constant negativity and bearish sentiment.... Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Evelyn Infurna, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
The market has gone berserk! whether you're a newbie or a veteran trader, everyone needs a sort of coach at some point to thrive forward.
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Francine's trade signal service.
Evelyn goes deeper than just looking at surface-level trends. she explores technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis, offering a comprehensive perspective on the market..
The clarity and precision in Evelyn market predictions are astounding. I'm so grateful to have found her reviews here on RUclips as well.
She's definitely a top player in the trading world. Her ability to make successful trades is really impressive
Blab away! You’re excited and it’s awesome to see! I’m applying this instant success story to my writing and finding my community of readers for my books. Thank you for the inspiration!
We are trying. It seems so hard but we plan to stick to it! Nice to hear your video. Thank you.
You can do it!
19:22 100% agree on this Alexa, when you are ahead or getting great results thats the time to put your foot on the pedal, do not ease off, double down when things are going well.
Thanks Matt!
Thank you for your honesty. I’m curious as to how/when you felt qualified to coach people on how to grow their RUclips channel and when it was that you had that desire? Is your coach helping you structure this business?
I still don't feel qualified! haha But yes, you can start helping people right away as long as you are little bit ahead of them. Yes, coaching does help me structure my business. It gives me great insight to the needs of my viewers and helps influence a lot of what I do.

You have been an inspiration for me. I just started my 2nd channel. My first one is faceles channel. I used it to learn about computers and editing. I finally started the second on last week doing a 30-day day content challenge. I hope it will help with my on-screen appearance and find out the areas that need to improve. Especially since I come from absolutely no experience in technology. I also have learning disabilities and focus problems. With everybody on your platform, giving me encouragement and just pulling up my big girl pants and getting it done. Thank you for being so supporting to all of your ❤️ 💗 💜

Dear Alexa, I started 4 years ago - no, it's not enough to "just start". I recorded 190 videos. Not everybody gets lucky.
@@hardworksmart a lot of the reacts and engagement that propel this is probably due to the massive amount of like for like and comment for comment type of bs which propels engagement.

Here the steps she took:
Yes, the steps you mentioned can be summarized as follows:
1. Provide Free Value on RUclips: Start by building your audience on RUclips by offering valuable, free content that speaks to your target audience's needs.
2. Create a Community Platform: Direct your RUclips viewers to your community platform (like a school account or membership site) where they can access even more free content and resources. This allows you to nurture a community and build trust.
3. Offer Paid Coaching Services: From your community platform, offer your coaching or program services as paid options, with the free content and support serving as a lead-in to your higher-ticket offerings.
Now go and spread what you love out into this World.

I’m going all in on RUclips now and this has been so inspiring
Yes all in! 100%
Alexa, for this video, did you use Loom or Zoom and then upload it to YT? Thanks!
I use either loom or screenpal for the screen recording. Then I download the recording and place it into Imovie to edit it . Hope this helps!
A lot of people who do Shorts have a coach or coaching team. It's mostly acting lessons and performance, but it's entertaing and people find it fun to watch, or watch for a learning experience. Thanks for showing some details on what you've done to monetize.
Your story is very inspiring, and it blows my mind how fast you have done it🥳
I’ve attempted to start so many times. I appreciate this so much.

Hi Alexa, no work is no results which is no payment. When you enjoy what you do, you do not focus on the payment; it all boils down to who you have made happy, and through that, you receive your rewards as you have.
:)
3:33 not sure of that book or the title, but i have always loved the thought / quote of "dont have a plan B, plan B only takes away from plan A" if theres no B you gotta hit the A plan! Burn the boats, no turning back. Great stuff Alexa!
You explained everything but as an ADHDer, I have more questions. With "just start" what were you posting? How did you decide to coach people on something you just started to do yourself? What did you do for marketing? I feel a lot of pieces of the beginning of your journey were left out. Any chance you can cover these questions? Thank you!!
Yes, most definitely. Someone else was asking the same question as well. Great idea. IT was all such a whilrwind but now the dust has settled and I feel like I can explain it better. Will do! coming right up! xo
Wow girl! God is good! You DID that and have inspired me! I’ve started tracking just like you, spreadsheet and all
Come on. No one likes a suck up to what is probably a bold faced lie!
Super interesting! Thank you. …but what was that ending of the video?!
Am glad to be your new follower here from Nairobi Kenya.Quite interesting to watch.
Thanks for watching! 🎉
This is fascinating Alexa - thank you for putting yourself out there to explain your process of how you built this! I'm almost 40, have like a handful of subscribers so interested in things like this (but also terrified lol). Thank you! Edited to add -- You speak SO WELL for an introvert!! How did you overcome any apprehension (if you had any)? I have a hard time speaking directly to the camera, but am totally OK with voice overs... Just wondering if you have time to answer, thank you in advance!
Hmmm it's weird I cannot speak in public like this or even at a party, but on camera it's no problem. It's like my safe space. I think I just imagine I'm helping people and that my words have an impact. Deep to my core I care, so this space, the filming space, when it's just me I can do it without any struggle. If my husband is around and can hear me though, it's much harder or even if my 12 year old is around. I can speak freely with my 3 year old listening but I do get more self conscious with others around...so yea, I'm not sure if this helps at all. xoxo
@@AlexaSaarenoja Yes that helps so much! I'm also self-conscious if someone else is around! Thank you, confirms I just need to keep pushing through
Great job and very inspiring. Took me a year and a half on youtube before finally hitting it big. By the way you can write off the square footage of that room and whatever percent that is of your house you can also deduct any services to maintain your house and utilities.

i’m confused when you say you’re a new youtuber and you’ve been here since may but your channel goes back 5 years? when you say you’ve been here since may what does that mean?

@@DefinitelyKitty ahhhh that makes total sense! thank you!
I saw her channel before it blew up, before May she had less than 500 subscribers and wasn't even close to being monetized. She has grown a lot in these past 5 months.
@@AnimalLover2400 love that! I have so much to learn!
@@daytodaykatshe should have a playlist that is tracking this whole journey. “Journey to monetization” It will show you where her subs were at 20weeks ago. This series has been the thing that has given her all of this success. She really has been working her butt off for sure.
I did that to myself 2 years ago. Things started rolling along in my energy work and I energetically shut off the tap because it felt like too much. Such a lesson. Watching your journey, what I love is that after you grew your channel, people started asking you for help organically. That's the dream.... it makes it so much easier than trying to figure out what to sell. Offering value and support is the winning road.
Who is your RUclips coach?

@@AlexaSaarenojawhat’s the difference between him and Sean Cannell? You have Sean Cannell in your description. Thanks
Alexa! This is so awesome, congrats! 🎉
You are such a great inspiration Alexa! I want to add a one thing just in case you didn’t know. You mentioned not being able to refund your office as you work from home, but you actually can. There are two options: one is the flat rate of few hundred euros a year (don’t remember the exact number) and another one is based on the square meters. For example if your house is 100 sqm and your expenses are 1000 € and you use 10 sqm as an office, you can refund 1:10 = 100 € a month.
You probably know this and just gave a short explanation but I just wanted to tell this as I know many solopreneurs are not aware of this.
Thank you. You have been an inspiration, and I started!!❤❤ God bless you.
You started! Yea!! That's awesome!!
Great content who was your coach?
www.skool.com/great Harut is his name.
Congratulations!! And thanks so much for sharing such great information.
You touched on something very important. You found your "enough" moment then you were convinced to do more because you can help more people. Don't be swayed into doing more. Just because you can help more people, doesn't mean you should help more people, you're not meant to. Revisit your "enough" moment because you are enough. Doing more, helping more, earning more, does not equate to your happiness, your financial freedom. The answer is "enough", not more. Your family, your mental health and your channel will be in a better head space. Spoken with love.
Yes, good point. But it wasn't an enough thing it was a "be nice and don't ask for more" thing actually. I've always been told to be happy with what you have and get, and not to ask for more, be grateful. Which I am very grateful for everything in life, but it was also holding me back. So yes, I totally see your point, but this was in the real of not feeling worthy or enough, but rather in the fact that it's ok to want more and do more. If that makes sense. Yes, it's so hard to express things fully and clearly without context on youtube. I appreciate your comment though and it is an important one!
When you started coaching were you coaching on how to grow RUclips or did you pivot from another subject?
How to grow on RUclips. 🙌
I started my channel! Thanks for the encouragement!
Love seeing this. As someone being involved as BTS with creators over the past 5 years, your story is inspiring.
Incredibly motivating. Thank-you
You're welcome!
Ok, good luck to you, but what exactly do you do other than selling courses?
Coaching, Coaching course, Skool Community, affiliates and collabs.
I’m truly happy for you. I don’t trust many claims on RUclips but I do trust you.
Thanks for sharing! I’m almost to 1000 subs. I’ve been sharing more this year- and my goal is to share consistent weekly videos on developing a creative brand❤
You can do it
Awesome!
I’m so happy for you! That’s great news, I love following your channel ❤
Thank you for this video. It really has inspired me. I literally started my RUclips channel one day ago as a 45 year old. This is a niche that I’m really passionate about. God Bless❤
Congratulations!

Alexa, thank you for sharing 😊. That is really amazing. I can do it.

Would you share who your coach is? It sounds like someone I might need help from.
Yes of course, here is a link to his skool membership..he has a free version as well, but this is him and if you mention you found him through me he offers a free channel analysis. www.skool.com/great/about
I feel like this method works because of your niche. I feel like you're transitioning into sales and consulting. A lot of the people you're helping aren't in that sort of a niche. I think the story here is that youtube ad revenue wasn't enough by itself. Obviously super happy for you and have been following through your monetization journey... just wondering if these videos are helping me a little less.
Could you teach what you do? Why couldn't you offer courses? Or affiliate or selling your pottery, there are so many avenues for making money on youtube.
Thank you, this message is encouraging
This is amazing. Initially it is about working our but off first before things start to move. But your excitement is contagious. And I just also turned 45 too and didn't really think of youtube although I've been on it over 10 years in different forms. Being that this is different as from a musician point of view it is fully a burn out. (because you are writing and takes a lot of time and the value is feeling like giving away a lot of free value) Yet I've done this a lot in real life too. Door to door selling. But the fact that you are saying you still have time with family and kids now that perks viewers up. But it was only in the last 3 years that I've been taking things seriously (like a job) but the challenge is relying on content but not knowing anything about advertising or selling on youtube. And if you mention it friends may scoff at you or you sound like a crazy person. So what I'd say which many may not realize first off is. Be aware that not everyone will be excited as you in the beginning and unfortunately talk your dreams down. But yes this question knowing if your coaching works. And the course seems initially overwhelming. Yet in my personal place. Chasing people versus people coming to you is one of the keys to realize hrmm people are interested. But I'm glad this popped up. But the rating of system of how ready people are is also so true. I realize most of my friends aren't ready but they like the idea of things. But it's only recently that people have been wanting me to promote their things or possibilities in affiliate marketting. But I've been researching all the tax stuff and monetization stuff...And advertising. That I realized as this artist DIY person. Sort of rubbed me the wrong way as is it wise to promote products....yet it depends if you actually do genuinely care about them. I got a few actual affiliate links lately. But figurin out how to integrate them without it being so jarring. Lol but then I realized oh youtube was already stuffing all these ads in my videos and I realized hrm..maybe I should pay attention. But thats it actually. It's amazing though that you just haven't been here so long. And that's the thing it doesn't matter if its short or lol 10 years. It's having a decision to try things and go bigger. Hoepfully that wasn't so long winded. But lol hopefully im not just one of those people that is writing a long paragraph. I think people do want to grow their channel but it's also moving things to their main plate. Ability to juggle many things
Yes, love this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Wishing you the best with it and figuring it all out as you go.
You are amazing! Thanks for sharing all this. I am happy to see how it turned out for you ✌️ i think you will pass 20k in less than 2 weeks at this rate 🤗
Howdy! Thanks for your support all this time!
@@AlexaSaarenoja of course! I am a big fan of your content and style from the day I discovered your channel! Keep being you 🙏
Hey this is a super inspiring video I just have a quick question
If you do payment plans- how do you ensure people keep paying monthly if they're not getting the results they are looking for for whatever circumstance comes up in their life?
Is there a binding contract or credit unions get involved etcetera..
Thank you so much for taking the bull by the horns and helping us do the same
I have a contract that they have signed with the payment plan noted in it. However, nothing fully protects you. If you can take the full payment upfront that would be the way to go to ensure you get paid.
Good video. Question? If you're just starting out how can you show people a "How to grow on RUclips" if your channel is brand new? Or Are you recommending that we do a high value class on whatever our niche is?
Become a knowledge reporter. When I started and still even now, I am not showcasing myself as the guru or master youtuber, but rather sharing what I am learing as I go and what I am learning from master youtubers. So that is the way you could do it. Test things that you learn then share what works! Hope this helps!
@@AlexaSaarenoja I like proposing it from that perspective "knowledge reporter" Alexa! Great advice and thanks again! This is very helpful. You're awesome!💯
?!?! How did you create that much value in such an unrealistically short time?!
So grateful for this video … and “once you grow your YT channel”.
I thought this was from a new RUclipsr and for beginners.
Curious because this title comes across like a get rich quick scheme.
But what mom isn’t going to at least tune in to check it out?
Well is definitely not a get rich quick scheme 😅 took a ton of work but it happened rather fast!
@ congratulations on your success and thank you for the tutorial!
Great info. Thanks for digging deep into your business.
Yes of course!
Hi Alexa. Do you think VRA was worth it? Will you be purchasing the membership after the annual membership is over?
WOW! Wanting to start a youtube channel as well. Single mom of three kids and with the amount of everything going up these days I feel like Im drowning. My electric is at risk for being shut off but Im trying. I dont know where to squeeze from to get more. This helps and I so hope to be able to earn some extra money! NO WAIT....I WILL earn some extra money!!!
Easier to speak than write so here's a quick video response for you. www.loom.com/share/0a56708aaacb4265a3c056a56ff3dd8a?sid=bc024b7f-1c96-40a7-a039-237b3171508e
Wow! Amazing, I'm from Finland as well. Would love to meet up with you, sharing your business plan in detail?
oh cool whereabouts?
IT is impressive! I would love to have the same experience as yours. But I am not sure I can achieve it at least half the money you did. I do not have a channel in you tube nor followers in some other social media platforms. Eventhough you video is so inspiring thank you very much.
Never know unless you try! Go for it!
over 5 minutes into your video and you still have not told anything about the subject! What a waste of time!
That's how all these videos are indeed
lol i'm at 8 and still nothing
She is seeking a course. Sales video
The summary is this: she didn't make the money on RUclips, she made it on direct sales calls selling coaching about RUclips. Still a great success story, but the title is very misleading
Still a great path. And she detailed the income and expenses. Mind blowing how she understands the difference between expense and investment. Thanks for sharing Alexa
