Learn how to create a thriving, income-generating YouTube presence without sacrificing your current job. 😉 🚀 Making Money from YouTube 4 years ago I started making YouTube videos while in my final year of medical school at Cambridge University. I started off with 0 views, 0 subscribers and $0 in revenue. I knew absolutely nothing about filming, editing or publishing videos, but I somehow managed to figure out the basics.18 months later, my YouTube channel reached 100,000 subscribers and was making as much money as my full-time job working as a doctor in the UK. Now in February 2022, my channel has over 2.7 million subscribers and makes over £100,000 ($130k) each month, with 5-10 hours of effort on my part each week. And that’s just what the channel itself makes from Adsense and sponsorships – our overall business revenue if you include courses, affiliates and products is over $350,000 per month. I know — it’s bloody ridiculous. ⚗️The Secret to 100,000+ Subscribers Over the last 4 years, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to build an audience from scratch, provide value consistently, and monetise in a non-spammy way.I’ve spent over $30,000 in courses and coaching programs to try and find the secret sauce that helps grow a channel and a business.And you know what? There’s no secret. It’s just a matter of: 1. Creating content your target audience finds useful2. Posting it on YouTube once a week3. Repeating this for at least 2 yearsThat’s all it takes.I personally guarantee that if you follow this 3-part formula, your life will change in ways you can’t imagine.For starters, you’ll learn incredibly useful skills, you’ll generate ‘passive’ income, and you’ll make friends with amazing people from all over the world. You might even get messages from people about how your content’s changed their life.But as with all things, getting started and maintaining quality + consistency is easier said than done. The Challenges of Being a YouTuber It feels daunting to create videos for 2+ years. You won’t see much growth, or money, in the early stages.You’ll have to get over the fear of judgment from friends, family and strangers on the internet.You’ll have to work out what you’re going to talk about + why anyone would care what you’ve got to say.You’ll need to learn about cameras, microphones, lights, video editing and post-production.You’ll worry that you’re going to run out of ideas.You’ll be thinking about the YouTube algorithm, while also trying not to think about the YouTube algorithm.You’ll end up negotiating with brands and having to develop your own negotiation skills to do it. And you’ll have to do all this (and a lot more) while juggling your job, relationships and health, and also doing your best to enjoy the journey and avoid burnout. This is hard. It takes a lot of work.But it’s also really fun, and if you can make it work, it’s genuinely life-changing.The real “secret”, if there’s one at all, is that you need to build a SYSTEM around your content production, so that you can efficiently pump out useful content that grows your audience and revenue, without it taking up large amounts of your own time.Instead of thinking of your YouTube channel as a personal project, you want to think about it like a machine. A machine that takes inputs in the form of ideas, refines them into valuable content that your audience loves, and efficiently monetises itself across multiple asset classes.I’ve built such a system for my channel and business, and I can help you build yours. 🧠 The Part-Time YouTuber Academy The Part-Time YouTuber Academy is a 6-week live online course where I’ll teach and help you implement everything I know about growing your YouTube channel into a sustainable machine that churns out valuable content and generates healthy passive income. Without you having to quit your job.During the 6 weeks, we’ll have a combination of live zoom lessons, open live Q&As, detailed individual feedback on your videos, exercises and tasks to help supercharge your YouTube journey while connecting and having fun with hundreds of other YouTubers on the same path. The systems we’ve developed and teach on the course grew my own channel from zero to 2.7 million subscribers (with $1,500,000+ in annual revenue) while working full-time as a doctor. We’ve shared them with over 1,500 students in 4 Cohorts, resulting in fantastic results and glowing testimonials already.There are tons of great YouTube channels about lighting, or cameras, or scriptwriting, or designing thumbnails. But PTYA is unique in that it takes a little bit from each discipline and puts it all together. It’s very helpful in terms of allowing you to zoom out and understand what you’re good at and where you need to improve. PTYA helped me define my niche, USP and target audience, which I think was the main thing I needed to work on early on. I also learnt a few tricks to come up with new content regularly, and it made the process of buying the right gear for my channel super easy. PTYA saved me a lot of time when it came to finding better equipment that drastically improved the quality of my videos. You know this was all great information because it was coming directly from someone who makes multiple high-end Youtube videos a week and, as a result, has more than 2 million subscribers.John CooganEntrepreneur, YouTuber By the end of the 6-week course…🚀You’ll have kickstarted your YouTube channel (if you haven’t yet), with 6 published videos.✈You’ll have the next 3-6 months of content planned out, and a streamlined system to sustain this.🎥You’ll be comfortable in front of a camera, with techniques to boost your charisma.📈You’ll get my recommendations for gear and studio setups for all budget levels, so you can level-up your production value while being focused on your content.⁉You’ll know how to refine your niche, and you’ll have a system that ensures you’ll never run out of content ideas – The Idea Generation Machine.♻You’ll have a method (the HIVEs Framework) for structuring your videos in a way that appeals to your audience and to the YouTube algorithm.🫀You’ll understand how to accelerate your growth by efficiently repurposing your content to multiple platforms with the Artery Method.💰You’ll understand the various monetisation options available to creators, and you’ll know how to use them to generate passive income.👪You’ll know the value of building a team as soon as you can, and you’ll have a roadmap for outsourcing your editing and hiring extra team members.

Basically, the course is for anyone who wants to take YouTube seriously. If you’re committed to growing your online brand and putting yourself in the best position to build, sustain and succeed at this YouTube thing, we’re here for you, and we promise you’ll get large amounts of value from the course.The specifics of what this looks like can get a bit complicated, because (a) the course is pretty varied, and (b) the specific value you’ll get from it does depend on your YouTube experience level. We’ve tried to break things down (very roughly) by subscriber count. Naturally, this is an imperfect metric, but it’s the best we’ve got to stratify people, so please take the specific breakdown with a pinch of salt.  0 – 100 Subscribers 100 – 1,000 Subscribers 1,000 – 10,000 Subscribers 10,000 – 50,000 Subscribers 50,000+ Subscribers ❌ Who’s This Course NOT For This course isn’t for you if…1. You’re not willing to put in the time and effort to make 1 video per week during the 6 weeks.2. You’re looking for a magic bullet that’ll get your channel to grow without any effort. There’s no secret here. It’s just about putting in the work, doing it consistently, and stacking the deck in your favour in whatever way you can.3. You’re hoping that starting a YouTube channel will be a get-rich-quick scheme. Again, that’s not how it works. There are no shortcuts.4. You’re looking for a guaranteed path to 10k, or 100k, or 1M subscribers. There are no guarantees in this game. It’s like signing up for a writing course and expecting to have 1M readers per month for your blog, or 100,000 sales of your book. That’s not how it works. We’ll do our best to teach you the systems and processes that have worked for us and our students, but we can’t ‘guarantee’ any specific result.Having said all that, one thing we can guarantee is that if you create useful videos, publish 1-2 times per week, and do this for 2 years, your life will change. We can’t put a number on it (no one can), but if you can stick with this for 2+ years, you’ll learn useful skills, you’ll generate ‘passive’ income, and you’ll make friends with amazing people from all over the world. You might even get messages from fans about how your videos have changed their lives. Our only objective on this course is to make it easier for you to maintain that level of consistency. If that sounds like something you’d like, we’d love to have you. If it’s not what you’re looking for, then sorry for wasting your time in reading this far, and we wish you the very best of luck.
