Resending this as the other link wasn't working in the last one (sorry!) I've been meaning to do this for a while. Over the past two years, I've created a ton of free resources. Templates, frameworks, AI prompts, trackers, gear lists, my full tech stack. The problem is they've been scattered across 130+ videos, buried in descriptions and pinned comments. Not exactly easy to find. So I finally put everything in one place. I'm calling it the Creator Resource Vault, and you're getting first...

I've been having a lot of conversations in my community lately about evergreen, aka search based, videos. I think they're an underrated strategy on YouTube and something a lot of people sleep on because most of us focus on virality over long-term growth. 🙋guilty But every now and then I'm surprised to see on my own channel just how many views a simple tutorial can get when simply left alone to do it's thing. Here's an example: This video sat mostly dormant for 250 days before deciding to show...

Lately on YouTube, I've been noticing this trend. Maybe you've seen the same thing? Long videos are crushing right now. Not "long" like 20 minutes. I'm talking 3, 4, 6, even 10 hours. Full deep dives on a single topic, packed with real teaching, and they're racking up hundreds of thousands of views. Here are a few I've spotted recently: Modern Millie published a 3-hour guide to becoming a content creator in 2026. 279K views. Nick Saraev posted a 4-hour Claude Code tutorial. 706K views. Caleb...

Last week I sat down and looked at how I was running my YouTube business. Client tracking? Scattered across emails and my calendar. Sales pipeline? In my head, mostly. Which videos were actually driving people to my coaching page? No clue. I knew I needed more organization. Something that pulled everything together in one place. The problem is, real software costs money. And the ones built for creators either don't exist or charge thousands for custom setups. So I built my own. I used Claude...

I don't know about you, but even 18 months into doing YouTube, most things still take 3x longer than I originally plan for. As a result, I'm often scrambling, which leads to lower quality work and endless stress. So I ran an experiment for the entire month of February to see if I could fix it. For 4 straight weeks (and still going in March) I've been following a new weekly schedule that keeps me locked in on the most important things. It follows this notion of "making hours" vs "managing...

If you've ever stared at a blank title field after filming a video and just typed something to get it over with, stop doing that. Seriously... 😡 Most creators treat titles like an afterthought. And then they wonder why nobody's clicking. I used to do the same thing. I'd film first, then scramble for a title after the fact. (Please don't ask me how long I did this for... 😇) But lately, I've come across 2 YouTube videos, both revealing findings from independent "studies" they conducted on the...

Yesterday, I recorded a fully scripted 10 minute video in 15 minutes. I haven't talked about this much, but a teleprompter might be the single best investment I've made in my YouTube workflow. I've been using one for six months now. And I want to give you my honest assessment, because depending on your content style, there's a good chance it can simplify your workflow and raise your production quality in a single swing. Early on… (tell me if this sounds familiar) Filming was painful. I'd...

There are a handful of beliefs that keep people from either starting or growing on YouTube. I know because I believed most of them myself. And the tricky thing about myths is they sound reasonable. They feel true. But they quietly hold you in place while you convince yourself you're being smart or strategic. Here are four I see all the time, and…. spoiler alert. They're all wrong. Myth 1: "I need to be an expert before anyone will watch." When I posted my first YouTube video, I knew almost...

If I could go back and talk to myself when I first started on YouTube, one of the first things I'd say is: stop filming videos before you have a title. For my first 50+ videos, I committed the cardinal sin of coming up with an idea, filming it and then after the fact, having ChatGPT read my transcript to generate a title for me. I honestly thought I was ahead of the curve and feeling pretty smug about this workflow. Turns out, it was horrible advice. And I'd been confidently spreading it....
