Roundup: Getting Ready for Revenue — Free Readers Issue

Hey Prompt Entrepreneur,

And we are now officially moving into the back half of the year. Where is it going???

I want to today give a shout out to the people who have been supporting the Lives and Youtube content.

This has been the push for the last 3 weeks and it’s FINALLY all starting together.

Basically:

• every morning 10AM I go live on Tiktok, Youtube, LinkedIn, Instagram etc.

• for about an hour, talking about the AI news and updates of the day

• and answering questions that you lovely people send in

If you haven’t made it to one yet definitely check it out! And come ask questions and I’ll be able to directly answer - it’s really cool being able to speak so directly!

We then (and this is where it gets a little bit mad…):

• edit the 1 hour live into a clean version for Youtube

• cut out the segments into 5-10 minute videos on certain topics

• cut out lots of 30-60 second short clips for social media

• convert the whole thing into a daily newsletter

It’s….a lot!

Here’s a video to see it in action

Unhinged? Yes….

BUT: it’s working. Youtube is finally (after weeks of intense work) starting to hum along. We’re gaining a healthy number of subscribers a day, watch time is up week on week and everything is growing sustainable (which is always better than virally…that can mess your account up).

Why Youtube?

Whenever I talk to content creators and online educators they all refer to Youtube as the Holy Grail. It’s where people will consume hours of your content which is extremely helpful if you are running a business, let me tell you!

Once we’ve proven this method works I’ll write up a guide about how to implement it all. Maybe doing a weekly Live rather than daily like some madmen!

The other big takeaway? Sticking at something. For long enough to allow it to work.

I started this strategy and after a week it wasn’t working. I wanted to stop and try something else. But stuck to it.

After two weeks it was starting to work. Horray! I wanted to add more, make tweaks, adjust some things to make it “better”. No! Keep sticking with what works because, well, it works!

And now after week 3? We’re being rewarded by the algorithm (and viewers!) by just sticking it out.

This applies to everything. Not just Youtube. Not just content creation. Not just business.

I’m talking everything. New workout routine? Weight loss? Study schedule? Everything needs to be given enough room to start working. We tend instead to either stop if something doesn’t immediately work or (somehow worse!) tweak things when something is working.

Nope. Just stay the damn course. Give it a month or two. If it’s not working by then then sure make a pivot. Until then? Hands off the tiller. (I went to sailing school a couple weeks’ back…expect more nautical language moving forward sorry!)

So: keep on keeping on. Never stop never stopping.

Keep prompting,

Kyle
