I grew my YouTube channel to 50k subs in the first year by recording every video on my channel with an iPhone 11 and 12 Pro Max. I’m still using that phone today.

Let me know if you find the 'hidden' message in my video...

    Did this video help? Hitting the 'THANKS' button helps me out too 🙏
  • You summarized a three month course into 18mins. This is the most comprehensive I have ever seen.
  • This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,220 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
  • @raghavsk9
    It's becoming really rare to see real-experience educational videos like this one. Your videos are fluff free and aren't about someone reading out a product's spec sheet, instead about your personal experience with the product. Many creators have forgotten that the personal experience bit is what differentiates a YouTube creator from an ad company.. thanks for keeping it real!!
  • @lifeofameji
    Man just created an entire YouTube course in less than 25mins 😂😂😂😂
  • @Ariel-yz5ml
    You got my respect didn’t know you did all this with just an iPhone.
  • @AlexaLikes
    You are so organized and consistent. I didn't even notice this video was 3 years old. It just goes to show that it's easier to start now than it ever was before.
  • @benraineydj
    Mate.. I am ADHD, live life at 10000MPH & cannot.. I mean CANNOT sit still and watch videos at all. This is the first time in years I've watched a video start to finish at 1x speed and enjoyed it so much I could rewatch it again, The delivery, honesty & personal feel is simply incredible
  • @The12thSeahorse
    For a one man band to do all that work from start to finish with just the essential equipment is pretty amazing.
  • @6055gyul
    This was the most comprehensive breakdown of the YT creator process I’ve ever seen! Thank you. 😊
  • @twizted2.0
    3 years later and this was the most inspirational video I’ve seen. I’ve been doing this since 2016 I wish I would have seen this much sooner. Instantly subscribed to you. THANK YOU!
  • It took me 3 days to watch this video. It’s a compliment. I’ve been extremely busy, but every minute of free time I had, I continued this video until the end. You tell a story well and provide real actionable advice! Thanks!
  • 'so i'm not repeating myself again and again, so i'm not repeating myself again and again' I enjoyed that joke far far too much 🤣
  • @dimou8903
    Agree with most of the comments, no hard selling, no buying overpriced tech to achieve similar results and just bloody honest! Great job
  • Finally someone who actually showed budget friendly options. And not $5000 budget options which are not “ budget friendly “ for most. Thanks again for all the info.
  • @mark_dowling
    An absolutely fantastic video well explained and is awesome to see that you’re still producing content on your iPhone. Hope you read the message and see that people are still watching this video. Three years later well done
  • @jahongfintech
    Thank you man, you make me realize sometimes that I just make excuses for not making videos.
  • I like how genuine you are. I feel like some similar Youtubers have the vibe of being flashy/cocky deep inside on how expensive their items are. Keep it up mate!
  • @ArpTrivedi
    Without finishing the video, I had to diverge and congratulate you on creating a simple yet elegant end-to-end video. Thank you, sir.
  • I have no idea what content you create but I admire you showing every detail instead of holding the best cards to yourself. Great work!
