A secret from inside the vault

It is March 2020.

I had just stepped into content creation.

Built a team to scale up my game of content.

We had a process in place. We were putting in the inputs daily. We were learning and growing at a smooth pace over time.

However, if there was one platform that could give me sleepless nights, it was YouTube.

I just wasn’t able to understand what were the metrics behind YouTube growth.
How can I reach out to more people sharing with them the wisdom to make choices from a point of awareness?
Was there a way to make sure people in their 20s didn’t repeat the mistakes that I did?

So I decided to do something totally different.
I’ve been a Physics student, who is obsessed with process. 

What if I and my YouTube team came up with a process that invariably gives us the growth we want?

Over the last 1 year, this practice has worked for us in more ways than we could have imagined.
Oh yes, last month, we hit our first Million on YouTube through this process.

The happy faces of virtual celebration tell it all! 
The team was charged up.

They literally jumped around and hugged each other for their efforts.

And the best part, non-YouTube team members also joined them in this impromptu celebration!

How far I had come since then.

For the longest time, I didn’t know how to grow on YouTube.

But one thing that I did get right - one thing that made everything else possible - was a crazy obsession behind the right process that would make all our results inevitable.

Following a process isn’t easy.

Following a process doesn’t look cool on social media stories.

Following a process even when you don’t feel like it is the hardest thing to do. (Or perhaps the easiest.)

But if you are committed to asking the right question, the right answer just shows up.

Back to March 2020. I wish someone else had shared this process and playbook with me and my team. I would have been able to share my wisdom on a larger scale, with more people who could make more aware choices in life. And avoid the pain, frustration and even the self-doubt, of making it big on YouTube.

You don’t have to go through all that, my friend.

Growth does not have to come with lack of results or stress or even self-doubts.

Today, I invite you to apply to HOW TO YOUTUBE, create your own YouTube growth blueprint, and make results an inevitable reality for your journey!
