#1 New YouTube Channel Made its First Dollar (Took 21 Days)

​
Last month I talked about my new focus:

​
​YouTube channels that funnel people to info products (ebooks, templates, mini-courses).

​
I see it as a win-win:

​

• People buy: I make money from info products.
• People don’t buy: I make money from Adsense.

​
That dependency on two income sources is appealing.

​

Here’s How I Made the Channel

​
I spent about 25 days making 7 long, but faceless, videos, solving tricky problems for a niche audience.

​

• Video 1: 4hr 4min
• Video 2: 40 min
• Video 3: 46 min
• Video 4: 1hr 2 min
• Video 5: 46 min
• Video 6: 40 min
• Video 7: 9 min

​

They’re all faceless. They all use elevenlabs AI voices.

​

I uploaded them all on 9 April.
​

​

Channel Growth and Free Downloads

​
As of May 1st, the channel has received:

​

• 780 views
• 116 sales page views (15% of viewers)
• 38 free downloads (5% of viewers)
• 1 paid download ($7.50)

​
​

It’s fun to watch the downloads in my email inbox:

​

​

#2 A Rookie Error…

​

I probably could have gotten more paid downloads.

​
I received a YouTube comment 3 days ago from someone saying they couldn’t make the purchase.

​
Turns out: Stripe needed to confirm my email address. I’d gone 19 days before anyone notified me.

​

#3 Here are some niche ideas for this model…

​

Niche Example 1: Extremely detailed and helpful videos on how to clean a fish tank, fix a fish tank’s pH level, prepare a fish tank for a certain type of fish, repair a broken fish tank filter, etc. etc. Softly promote an ebook upsell: “7 Days to Healthier Fish: The Fish Tank Guide for Idiots”.

​
​Niche Example 2: Extremely detailed and helpful videos on how to prompt ChatGPT images for Meta Ads professionals. How to prompt it to copy successful ads, how to prompt it to create highly realistic ad images, how to prompt it to make highly clickable ads, etc. Softly promote template upsells: “101 AI Prompts for Meta Ad Images – For Advertising Professionals (with Bonus Image Swipe Files!)”

​

The trick is:

​

(a) you need to solve a very specific problem for a very specific audience.

(b) Your free content needs to be so good and so detailed that people wonder why it’s free.

​

Looking forward…

​

I know the YouTube to info product pipeline works.
​

So I’ve spent the last 10 days working on another digital product that I’ll promote on YouTube.
​

This time, I’ll set the price at $250… so it has real potential.
​

This one’s the big, scary course that I’ve always wanted to make but never had the guts to tackle.

​

It’s going to take all summer to complete.
​

But it’s time to slay my dragon.

​

Cheers,

Chris.

​

P.S: Pinterest Destruction…

​
​

Pinterest shadow banned my niche site. And I’m not really that upset – it was a lot of work for not much money.

​
​

​
​

I find Pinterest to be even more volatile than Google.

​
​

Fortunately, the site is still ranking well in Google.

​
​

And it had its best month yet.

​
​

​
​

So, the “Pinterest Niche Site Case Study” turned out to be just … a regular Google-dependant niche site.

​

As always, email me with any questions, comments, or just to chat.​
