All right, guys, today I'm gonna show you
five boring YouTube channels that make six figures,
sometimes six figures a year,
but in many cases, six figures a month,
actually for most of these, with almost no views.
Because one thing that I think I've made it very clear
to people who watch this channel quite often,
but it's pretty easy to tell
if someone's making a lot of money
if they're getting a lot of views.
That's relatively easy to tell.
However, it's much more difficult to tell
if someone's making a lot of money
when they're not getting that many views.
But all of these channels have been confirmed
to have been making a good amount of money
without getting that many views.
And I'm gonna show you exactly what I'm gonna talk about,
and I'm gonna tell you approximately
how much money they're making.
And to be honest, there's probably tens,
if not hundreds of thousands of random channels out there
that are making a full-time income,
and they're not getting a lot of views,
and nobody would ever know about it,
unless they reveal it, or unless you're able to do
the things that I'm gonna talk about in this video.
So this is going to be inspirational,
because I'm gonna be showing you a bunch of channels,
showing you how they're making money,
and hopefully this will give you ideas
for starting a channel,
pivoting the channel that you currently have,
or making more money with the channel that you have as well.
But more than that,
this is also gonna be quite educational too,
because I'm gonna tell you how to look for channels
that are making a lot more money.
So with that being said,
if you appreciate me making this type of video,
let me know by gently tapping that like button,
and let's jump into it right now.
All right guys, first channel on the list
is going to be Isaiah Harris Vocal Exercises and Warmups.
This very handsome gentleman right here
is actually one of my students, one of my clients,
but he actually listened to just my free content,
he watched my free content on YouTube,
and then he attended my free live trainings,
and he was able to get results just from that alone.
He was actually able to make it
somewhere between 20 to 30K per month,
just from my free stuff on YouTube.
By the way, I have a free live workshop coming up this week
called Make Money With YouTube, YouTube Secrets,
for as long as it takes for me
to answer all the questions completely free.
So do not miss out on this workshop,
and if all that wasn't enough, it's a one-time workshop,
I'm only presenting this information one time,
and I'm giving away an AI
that's gonna make the entire process completely easy
called the Niche Validator Pro 2.3.
And if you happen to miss it this week,
click that link anyways,
because it'll show you the next time that we're having one.
So if you were to look at Isaiah's channel
and you didn't know any better,
if you just looked at the videos,
you'd probably think, wow, he's not making that much money.
I mean, he's doing okay, 1K views, 12K, 4K, et cetera,
but you'd probably think
he's not making much money from this channel,
and you'd probably think,
why is he even wasting his time, right?
And you might even look at a tool like VidIQ,
which kind of guesstimates
how much money they're making from AdSense,
and it says he's making $69 to $207 every month from AdSense,
which is also not that good.
Or you might go to his view stats profile,
and it'll say he's making about $131 to $381 a month
from AdSense, which is not that good as well,
and he's only getting about 50,000 views a month.
But the thing is, Isaiah is not monetizing
in the way that most people out there monetize
because he listened to me.
See, Isaiah came from a background
where he was mostly doing Facebook ads,
and he hated the fact that Facebook
was sending him a bunch of unqualified prospects.
And so when he discovered my YouTube methods,
he started posting on YouTube,
and he started crushing it almost immediately.
Now, you'll notice if you look at his about section
that he's basically making this channel
for experienced vocalists, singer-songwriters,
worship leaders, and recording artists
who refuse to settle for mediocrity.
If you look at his banner,
it's helping singers get album-ready vocals.
So his product offerings,
which involves his coaching mostly,
is for people who basically want to go pro with singing.
So this is not necessarily a mass-market audience
in terms of what he's selling.
And he does mention that in his videos.
If you're over 50, but you're afraid.
And this is how he's been able to scale
to when he gave me a testimonial,
$20,000 to $30,000 in a single month
almost immediately on YouTube
by selling a high-ticket coaching offering
and targeting a very specific type of person
who would be willing to pay high ticket
to go pro when it comes to singing.
Now, when he first started on YouTube,
his very first video did relatively well,
and he actually booked clients from that first video.
And this was just four months ago that it was posted.
But his fifth video is the one that really blew up.
Don't sing from your throat,
number one vocal exercise to unlock powerful high notes.
Well, it's because there's a few key mistakes
that you are making.
And by the way, I'm gonna reveal exactly
how he was able to get results in my live training,
which you can attend by clicking the link
in the description and a pinned comment below.
So make sure you check that out.
Now, one way you can tell
that people are probably making more money
than what it seems like on YouTube
is if you look at their banner
and you look at their about section,
and it seems like they're targeting
a higher ticket type client.
So either somebody who's maybe B2B,
so that's like business to business,
a more sophisticated audience,
people who are really trying to go pro
in whatever domain that you're talking about,
or a affluent audience.
So basically, if it looks like
they're selling a higher ticket product
or they're targeting one of those three types of audiences,
then they are very likely making a lot more
than what something like vidIQ or ViewStats
thinks that they're making.
Now, a lot of my niche clients
typically don't wanna give up their niche
just because they can't believe
they're making so much money with so few views.
And so most of these clients actually remain anonymous.
But just to give you a few examples
of some anonymous clients that make a ton of money,
I've got one client who gets
about 100 to 200 views per video
and he makes about $2 million a year.
Got another client who gets about 500
to maybe 1,500 views per video
and he makes over $10 million a year.
One of the clients just has a few thousand subscribers,
the other client has a few tens of thousands subscribers,
so like low tens of thousands of subs.
And one of the coolest things is
nobody knows they're making money
except for me, of course, and them,
and so therefore they basically have no competition.
And there are so many niches out there just like that
where there's tons of money to be made
with not that many views
and it's really not that hard
to make that type of content as well.
A lot of the time it's a very simple content
that's quite easy and boring to make,
but they're making a ton of money.
Another previous client that I worked with
was Daniel Fazio.
Now, he has a relatively small channel,
doesn't put too much effort into his channel,
but he's actually said in the past
that he makes around $400,000 a month from YouTube.
Probably like $400,000 a month.
Now, if you looked at his vidIQ and his view stats,
vidIQ says he's making about 237 to $712 per month,
that's it, and view stats says he's making
about 100 to $300 a month, and that's it.
Now, according to view stats,
he got about 41,000 views over the last month,
and he said it himself,
he makes 300 to $400,000 per month from YouTube,
and that makes complete sense
because he has much more of a B2B niche audience,
and that means he's making somewhere
between 8,000 to $10,000 per 1,000 views,
which I work with channels that make
anywhere from 10,000 to $30,000 per 1,000 views
or even more, and so that makes sense
given how niche his audience is.
Now, like I said before, on my second channel,
I don't have quite as niche of an audience as him,
I also don't really put much effort at all
into my second channel, it's more of an experiment,
but I make around $4,000 per 1,000 views.
Now, of course, Daniel sells a high-ticket coaching business
that's his cashflow business,
and he also has a software business
he's involved with as well,
so it's Client Ascension and List Kit.
So yeah, now you've seen a current client
and a former client not getting that many views,
but they're both absolutely crushing it.
One of them just started on YouTube,
the other started a while back,
but he doesn't get that many views
and he's still absolutely crushing it on YouTube.
And if you wanna know my philosophies on growing on YouTube,
I'm going to be revealing them
in a free live training this week.
Click that link in the description
and the pinned comment below to see it.
All right, next person is Serge Gattari.
Now, he's got around 68,000 subs.
It says he's gained about 29,000 views
in the last seven days,
which means he would make about $160 to $480,
or $123 to $342 a month, according to ViewStats.
Now, according to ViewStats, he got about 84,000 views,
and he's said before on his channel
that he's had $600,000 months.
Now, we can't say for sure
if his channel's making $600,000 a month,
but based off of his titles,
how I'm making $10 million with AI in 2026,
watch me go from zero to a million a month live with AI,
and I made one million with AI in 45 days.
So I think it would be safe to assume
that he's still making maybe around $600,000 a month.
So based on that 84,000 views,
that means he's likely making somewhere
between 6,000 to $10,000 per 1,000 views,
which makes a lot of sense
considering the niche that he's in.
You see that he's selling a high-ticket product here.
He's also selling to a very niche audience,
which is basically helping people
start build-and-release businesses that utilize AI,
and so it makes a lot of sense
that he's making that much money on his channel.
By the way, I'll say his videos are relatively simple.
Sometimes he has a bit fancier intros and stuff,
but a lot of the most popular videos on his channel
are relatively simple.
For instance, if you look at this build-and-release course,
it's basically just Google Docs,
and then he zooms in,
and he goes over the things that he's talking about.
Most people who do this funnel will not be profitable.
I can promise you that.
Now, if you look at this video,
full build-and-release course, 12 plus hours,
that's the most viewed video on his channel,
and the funny thing is it says it only made $941.
I would be willing to bet
that this video made probably a million dollars on its own.
All right, next is one of the goats of online business,
and that is Jason Fladlian.
Now, Jason Fladlian is the webinar guy.
He is all about webinars.
He even has a hat that says Webinar Goat.
Yeah, the one that's made me over $250 million in sales,
and you know what?
I agree with him.
He is the webinar goat.
A lot of what I learned about webinars came from Jason.
My name is Jason Fladlian.
They call me the best in the world at webinars,
and I'll try to prove it to you today.
Now, in the last 28 days, it says he got 215,000 views,
and you might be thinking,
well, Shane, that's actually a lot,
but he only made about $14 to $50, according to view stats,
but if you look down here,
he got 211,000 views from shorts
and about 22,000 views from long-form content.
We really only care about long-form content at this point.
Maybe at some point down the line in the future,
shorts will be better.
If YouTube releases DM setting, for instance,
shorts might be a lot better,
but right now, YouTube shorts are borderline useless
when it comes to making money.
So Jason, if you see this, stop doing shorts.
They're basically a waste of your time right now,
and also, I would love to work with you
because you have helped me out so much with webinars.
But yeah, it's well-known that Jason Fladlin
has sold over $250 million on webinars.
He's had over 150,000 customers,
and there is a 0% chance that with 39,000 views
over the last seven days,
or even with 22,000 long-form views over the last month,
there is a 0% chance he's not making
at least $50,000 a month from this channel
because he's likely making
at least like $500,000 a month overall,
so he's definitely making money from this channel too.
And if I had to guess, I would say he's probably making
between $100,000 and $200,000 a month from this channel.
He's doing a lot of things wrong
because it's probably not one of his main focuses.
He's running shorts, for instance, which is a mistake.
Shorts are basically a waste of time,
unless you do it in a very specific way,
which he's probably not doing it.
Additionally, you can kind of see
that a lot of these thumbnails are kind of AI-generated.
They don't even really look like him.
So there's a lot of mistakes that he's making here,
but with that being said,
he's still probably making a good amount of money
because YouTube is just that good,
and niche content on YouTube is just that good as well,
especially if you have a high-ticket product to sell.
And Jason, if you're seeing this,
attend the live training this week,
and also just go ahead and book a call with me directly,
Jason, I would love to help you make
way more money on this channel.
All right, the next channel
is Shane Hummus Content Growth Engine.
This is my second channel.
I basically made this channel about two years ago
because every year I start a new channel,
and usually it's a different type of channel
because I want to know what it feels like
to actually have a brand new channel
because things change on YouTube,
and I want to make sure that I'm always up with the times.
So this year, for instance, I did my brother's channel.
I actually just started a channel for him, grew it,
and the one that I did the year before was this one.
So if you were to look at view stats for this channel,
you would see that it only got about 4,000 views
over the last month, and it only made about $10 to $29.
So you would probably think
that I am completely wasting my time.
I actually have not recorded a video for this channel,
I think, in like three or four months.
The only videos we posted were just kind of like
clips of interviews I did.
I have an awesome guest here, Judd.
He is someone who kind of,
we operate in kind of similar niches.
And then videos that we had like a very long time ago.
So I have not recorded a video for this channel
in like three or four months
because I'm just too busy with other stuff.
With that being said, this channel,
I think two months ago, made about $30,000.
Then we looked at the money from last month,
and it still made over $20,000
with this channel that barely got any views whatsoever.
So over the last month, it's gotten 4,000 views.
And this last month, the last time we checked the stats,
it made over $20,000.
So it's getting about $6,000 per 1,000 views at least,
which is pretty crazy to think about.
So this channel that I'm putting
almost no effort into whatsoever
is still making me multiple six figures a year,
even though I'm not even uploading.
So I am gonna start posting on this channel
more in the future.
By the way, this channel is for business owners
that wanna get more leads,
and it's for advanced YouTubers,
YouTubers who are already crushing it
and they wanna crush it even harder.
And I guess it would be for people
who just really wanna take YouTube seriously as well.
And if you're one of those types of people,
I recommend that you actually just go ahead
and book a call with us.
It'll be down in the description in the pinned comment below,
and it might also be in my about section.
And this is only for people
who wanna take YouTube very seriously.
These are the only types of people that I work with
when it comes to my coaching program,
one-on-one or working with my coaches.
There's also done for you elements to my coaching program
where we literally just do stuff for you
depending on your needs.
But yeah, if that sounds like you,
go ahead and book that call,
click the link in the description,
also click the link in my about section
if it's not down there.
