Meet Josh Mator. He went from making
less than $1,000 per month to $186,000
a month. And the crazy part is he did
this without a million subscribers on
YouTube. And here's something crazier.
Because of his YouTube channel, he got
two job offers from fang companies. Now,
for those who don't know what fang
stands for, they're basically the most
elite companies in the world. Facebook,
Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google. And
these companies are more difficult to
get into than Ivy League universities.
So, let me tell you a story. And by the
way, if you want to learn how to grow
your own YouTube channel, I have a link
in the description where you can book a
free call with my team, and we'll show
you exactly how we help our clients get
results like Josh. So, when Josh first
came to me, he was struggling. He had
started a YouTube channel about it and
cyber security, and he wanted to help
people land entry-level IT jobs, and he
also wanted to help them get into cyber
security. Now, Josh had the knowledge.
He knew cyber security inside and out.
But there was a problem. Very few people
were watching his videos. And even less
were buying his stuff, and he was
frustrated. He was about to give up on
YouTube completely.
When we first met, I was a small
YouTuber and I wasn't getting that much
traction with my channel and I was about
to give up, honestly. I knew I had the
knowledge to help the people who I
wanted to help. I just didn't know the
most efficient way to reach those people
at scale.
So, Josh knew how to help people, but he
didn't know how to reach them. He didn't
know how to turn his knowledge into a
business. And that's where I came in. We
worked together on three main things.
First, we fixed his content strategy.
Josh was making videos, but they weren't
the right videos. We found topics that
people were actually searching for.
Second, we built systems. Josh was doing
everything himself and he was burning
out and we created processes so that he
could scale. And third, we fixed his
monetization. Josh was leaving money on
the table. So, we created offers that
would help his students get results and
it would help him make more money. And
the results came fast. Within 6 months,
everything changed.
Then, not even 6 months later, I
remember having my first $5,000 month.
And then, pretty shortly after that, I
had a $10,000 month.
Think about that. He went from less than
$1,000, like he's basically just making
money from AdSense, to $5,000 a month,
then to 10,000. But Josh didn't stop
there. He kept executing and he kept
following the system.
And through consistently executing on
the advice you gave me, I recently had
$186,000 month, which is really, really
crazy.
$186,000
in a single month. Let me put that in
perspective. That's over $2 million a
year. Now, if you're thinking, I want
results like that, then check out the
link in the description. You can book a
free strategy call where we will map out
your YouTube growth plan. No fluff, just
a real conversation about your channel
and your business. But only book a call
if you're serious about growing your
YouTube channel. Now, here's what blows
people's mind. Josh's channel only had
about 100,000 subscribers when he got to
this 186k per month mark. And most
people think you need millions of
subscribers to make real money on
YouTube. And that is simply not true.
My channel currently only has barely
over 100,000 subscribers, but I make
more than most channels with millions of
subs. And this is the power of having
the right strategy. It's not about
views. It's not about subscribers. It's
about solving real problems for real
people. But here's where the story gets
even better because it's not just about
making money. Because of the fact that
Josh built a personal brand on YouTube,
something unexpected started happening.
And by the way, this was before he made
it to $186,000 a month. He started
getting noticed by major tech companies.
And not just any companies. He got
offers from two different fang
companies. And these are companies that
oftentimes pay six, even multiple six
figures a year. And after getting offers
from a bunch of highly desirable
Fortune50 companies, and by the way,
they were literally reaching out to him,
he accepted an offer at one of them. And
for 99% of people, this would have been
a dream job. And it was for him at
first. But remember that YouTube channel
he started? Yeah. He started making a
ton of money from it. So, it didn't
really make sense for him to stay at his
job. But it just goes to show the power
of starting a personal brand and solving
people's problems on YouTube. out of
those hundreds of thousands of people
that were watching his videos, a few of
them worked at these companies and they
reached out to him to help him get a
job. And even hypothetically, let's say
the business side of his channel wasn't
successful, he still would have been
able to land his dream job, right? They
saw his expertise. They saw how he could
explain complex topics and they saw his
influence in the cyber security space
and his personal brand became his
ultimate resume and portfolio. So, what
exactly does Josh sell on YouTube? Well,
Josh helps people break into entry-level
IT roles, and he also helps people land
high-paying cyber security jobs. And he
sells information products that teach
people how to land these high-paying
tech jobs. And many of his students go
from zero experience to landing jobs
that pay 70,000, 80,000, even $100,000 a
year in a very short period of time. And
he's not just teaching theory. He's
giving people a complete roadmap. He
shows them exactly what to learn. He
shows them how to build projects. He
shows them how to make their resume, how
to ace interviews, and how to build a
really good portfolio. And if you want
to build a YouTube channel like this
that opens doors for you, whether it's
just trying to get a job, starting a
side hustle, or even building a fullon
business, I put a link in the
description and the pin comment below.
Book that call and we'll show you the
exact blueprint that we used for Josh.
So, what can we learn from Josh's story?
Well, first, you don't need millions of
subscribers. You need the right
subscribers. At the time that Josh made
it to 186K per year, he only had about
100,000 subscribers. But these were all
people that actually care about what he
had to say, and he was delivering
consistent value to all of them. Second,
you need systems. Josh couldn't have
scaled to $186,000 a month by doing
everything himself. We helped him build
processes. We helped him hire the right
team members. And we helped him automate
all of the repetitive tasks that nobody
should be doing. And third, you need the
right offer. Right? Once you found
content audience fit, then you need to
find product market fit. And I've worked
with a lot of people who are getting
views, but they're not able to monetize
it correctly. And having the correct
monetization strategy can literally 100x
the amount of money that you're making.
Fourth, your YouTube channel is more
than a business. It's a personal brand
that can change your entire career. So,
let's just say worst case scenario, Josh
didn't get results and he wasn't able to
make that much money on YouTube. It
still would have been a massive W
because of the fact that he was able to
land his dream job because of his
YouTube channel. Personal branding is
incredibly powerful. And if you have a
personal brand, it's basically like a
superpower that sets you apart from
everyone else.
Listen to what's being taught. execute
on it because nobody knows how to grow a
channel and monetize it quite like Shane
does. Seriously, when it comes to
creating the right kind of content to
grow a following, monetizing it
correctly, building processes within
your business, hiring a team, and
scaling your business. Now, here's the
biggest lesson for Josh's story. Most
people see YouTube as a hobby. They make
videos for fun, and they hope to make a
little bit of money from ads. Josh saw
YouTube as a business and a career
accelerator. He wasn't just making
videos. He was actively trying to solve
people's problems. And he was building
an education company and a personal
brand. So he wasn't just getting views,
he was changing lives and building his
reputation in the process. And his
students were landing real jobs. Many
were doubling their salaries and they
were breaking into tech for the first
time. So when you focus on real
transformation, everything else follows.
The money, the opportunities, the dream
job offers. So how can you apply Josh's
strategy? Well, first pick a niche where
you can help people get specific
results, right? specific outcomes. Not
where you're talking about general
information that people could probably
look up on Google or Chat GBT, but
specialized information that only an
industry expert would know, right? Josh
helps people get it and cyber security
jobs. What can you help people achieve?
And you might be thinking, well, I don't
have any special skills, right? I'm not
in a high-paying job. There are dozens
of examples of other people that I've
worked with that thought the exact same
thing. And after talking to us and after
we go over their life story, we find
tons of stuff that they could help other
people with. Second, create content that
attracts the right people. Not everyone
needs to watch your videos. Only the
people who want what you have to offer.
Third, build an email list. Every video
should have a call to action. Give
people a reason to join your list. And
fourth, create the right offer for the
right audience. In many cases, this will
be a high ticket offer. Sometimes you'll
have a lower or a medium ticket offer on
the front end, but then those who are
cashri will want to pay you more money
for more of your time and personalized
insights. And fifth, build systems. You
can't do everything yourself. Start
documenting your processes. Start
thinking about hiring. Get familiar with
using AI properly. And six, think
bigger. Your YouTube channel isn't just
about money. It's about building a
reputation that opens doors. And look, I
know this sounds like a lot, and that's
why I offer free strategy calls. We look
at your channel, your niche, your goals.
Then, we'll create a custom plan for
you. The links in the description and
the pin comment below, but only book a
call if you're serious about growing and
making money on YouTube. Now, I need to
be real with you. Josh's results aren't
typical. Not everyone will make $186,000
a month. Not everyone will get offers
from fame companies. But here's what is
possible. You can build a real business
on YouTube and you can make more than
most people can make at their jobs and
you can build a personal brand that
creates opportunities. Josh did it. Many
of my other students have done it and
you can do it too.
Definitely gets you results. So thanks
again, Shane. You have a lot of
integrity and I really, really
appreciate everything you've done for me
and the channel.
So Josh's story proves something
important. You don't need to be famous
to be successful on YouTube. You don't
need millions of views. You don't need
to go viral. You just need three things.
The right strategy, consistent
execution, and patience. Josh was ready
to quit, but he kept going. And now he's
making more money than he ever dreamed
possible. Plus, if his business goes
under at any time, he will have plenty
of job offers. Like, he is set for life.
And his YouTube channel and his hybrid
personal brand made that happen. And
click the link in the description and
the pin comment below to find out
exactly what a hybrid personal brand is.
So, here's my question for you. What's
stopping you from starting? What's
stopping you from building your own
YouTube empire? Josh started with
nothing. He had no audience. He had no
money. And he just had knowledge and
determination. And if Josh can go from 0
to 186,000 a month and land an elite
job, what could you achieve? The
opportunity is there. The blueprint is
proven. The only thing missing is you
taking action. And listen, I can only
work with a limited number of people. My
team and I give personal attention to
every client. And that's how we get
results like Josh's. So, if you're
serious about YouTube and you're ready
to commit, if you want to build
something real, then book a call now.
Don't wait. Don't overthink it. The
