Why Every YouTuber Needs A Course Or Product
Course Revenue VS YouTube Ad Revenue
In my 30-Day YouTube Jumpstart course, I show you how I made over $40,000 in a single month selling guitar lessons. In the graphic below, you can see how I made over $80,000 on the month of November without advertising using only using simple email promotion and the power of organic traffic.
How you might ask?
That's the power of courses!
When you combine an education niche with YouTube, email marketing, a good landing page and an amazing course that gets results, you can't go wrong.
To make any money on YouTube with ads takes millions of views. At the writing of this article, the last 28 days I have earned $4,647.56 through YouTube ads for 673,600 views or about $10.07 for every 1000 views.
As you can see, it takes big numbers for YouTube ads to start adding up VS selling 23 courses at $197 with is $4,600.
I highly recommend that you start promoting a course, a product or an affiliate course as soon as possible on your channel. Once you start getting consistent traffic on your channel (about 100+ views per video within 24 hours), then you can start promoting products that will make you REAL money on YouTube.
What should you make your course about?
Solve a problem. Answer the top burning questions your audience is asking right now. What are the simple problems you can solve to help them get to where they want to go. You don't have to solve the entire problem, you only have to get them past the first few steps on the journey and show them the light at the end of the tunnel.
Keep it simple. Don't worry about making this massive course. It stinks to put a lot of time and effort into something that no one wants to buy. Start with a course that you can sell within the $47-$97 without extra effort from you. The more access to you, the higher the price.
Ask your audience what they want? If you have over 500 subscribers, you can throw up a poll on your channel to see what people are looking for. Send out an email to your list as well. Don't guess what people want. Ask them.
