Whenever we launch a new cohort of the Part-Time YouTuber Academy, I'm excited to show our students just how much value we've packed in.

A core part of this is inviting other creators to guest speak on topics they're passionate about.

Here's some of what we've got lined up👇
When you click on a @Mrwhosetheboss video, you know you're going to find out the latest in tech while being wildly entertained. With over 10M subs on his channel, you’ll learn from Arun about “Script Writing for YouTube” when we kick off this March.
@Mrwhosetheboss Maven of minimalism @mattdavella is joining us this cohort for a “Deep Dive Into Filmmaking”. You might know him for his high production value and stoic productivity tips that he shares on his 3.3M sub YouTube Channel, or for his course, Slow Growth.
@Mrwhosetheboss @mattdavella Next up, we’ve got Charlie from Charisma On Command, whose YouTube channel has surpassed a whopping 5M subscribers. He’ll be nerding out with us over statistics, A/B testing and what makes a great thumbnail in the “Getting Views on YouTube” session.
We also welcome @PatFlynn the master of personal finance to talk about “Monetising Your Audience” online. He's the founder of SmartPassiveIncome which started as a blog and grew to a fully-fledged teaching platform for online marketing.
Our guest speakers change every cohort, to provide new value to alumni who stick around every year.

So if you're a fan of our guest speakers, make sure to join this cohort before 16:00 GMT today when doors close 🚨

Here’s 12 books every YouTuber should read in 2022 👇
'Anything You Want’ by Derek Sivers 🎸

If you’re looking for a little inspiration and a massive boost of positive vibes, this (small-ish) book is a great reminder to keep going when things get tough.

I pick it back up whenever I feel imposter syndrome taking over.
‘The War of Art’ by Steven Pressfield 🎨

Half the battle is won before you even press ‘record’.

If you’re struggling with getting started on your YouTube channel, this book’s for you.

The most common question I get about my Part-Time YouTuber Academy is ‘why is it so expensive?’

But this course isn’t a bunch of pre-recorded clips or a set of PDFs.

It’s so much more.

This is what you’ll find inside 👇
👥 A fully-fledged team

Coming into the 5th cohort of PTYA, we’ve got tens of people working behind the scenes.

This includes the teachers like me, student supporters and folks who crunch data so we can offer you personalised support.
⚙️ The Infinite Content Engine

“ICE” is the system that I’ve created for my channel that I’ve used for the past 4 years.

It’s allowed me to grow from 0 to 2.7M subscribers while doing YouTube part-time and it’s exactly what I’m going to share with you.

Here’s 23 lessons to succeed on YouTube in 2022 👇
🥊 1. Doing YouTube is hard.

If you get into it cause you think it’ll be easy money, reconsider your options.

You’ll find yourself sacrificing a lot and learning new skills before you actually see any results.

You just need to be patient and ride that wave 🌊
🎨 2. Create, create, create.

Consistency is King.

Forget about trying to find a viral hit when you start out.

Instead, post 1 video per week consistently and your life will change.

Focus on getting better, not bigger. Growth comes over time.

My YouTube channel makes over $130k each month from Adsense and sponsorships.

Our overall business revenue which includes courses, affiliate deals and products is over $350k per month.

It’s bloody ridiculous.

Here’s how you can monetise your passion too 👇
There are loads of ways to start making money on YouTube, but I found that these 6 are the best:

🎬 The YouTube Partner Program (YPP)
👯 Sponsorships
🔥 Affiliates
⭕️ Community Earnings
💻 Online Courses
👕 Merchandise

Let's break them down 👇🏼
🎬 1. The YouTube Partner Program (YPP)

There are 2 requirements you have to meet before qualifying for the program:

- 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months
- At least 1000 subscribers

Sounds easy but YouTube is hard.

It takes between 52 and 152 videos to get your first 1,000 subs on YouTube.

The trick to creating all these videos is making filming and editing as frictionless as possible.

Here’s how 👇
⌛ 1 - Consistency

The more you do something, the more it’ll become a habit.

All you really need to do is make one video per week. That’s it.

Focus on this week’s video, then move onto the next, before you know it you’ll be on a roll.
🏋️‍♂️ 2 - Low Lift Content

If you’re in this for the right reasons, you’ll probably be bursting at the seams with video ideas.👇

Getting started on YouTube is easier now than ever before.

With a bunch of free tools, a positive mindset and consistency, here’s why you can become a YouTuber in 2022 👇
Content’s easy to create 🎬

Smartphones have lowered the barrier to entry.

Most phones have good camera quality (at least to start with) and there’s a bunch of free tools to use to improve the quality (if you want to).
Free tools 🆓

‘I need to buy X and Y programmes to make it as a YouTuber’.

Nope - there are a ton of free tools to use if you know where to look. Just Google ‘Free Video Editing Software’ and work from there.
