Maxwell Maher – The YouTube Code Cracked (2022)

Welcome to The YouTube Code Cracked

Why Should You Enroll In This School?

 

• I have seen extraordinary success with my YouTube channel, amassing a large audience, and earning more than $125,000 a month in profit with completely organic growth. No paid ads. No selling my soul to Susan Wojciciki.
• It took me 1 year of consistent YouTube content creation to reach a measly 3,500 subscribers… I could basically only get my mom and like 3 cousins to watch… But I finally figured it out and in year 2 I hit 225,000 subscribers. I now regularly gain more subscribers in 1 day than I did in my first 6 months.
• It took me an entire year to figure out what the YouTube algorithm likes and dislikes.
• In this school you will learn in about 9 hours what took me 2,000+ hours to figure out. Am I selling the ability to time travel? Kind of.
• Note: yes you can absolutely figure most of this out yourself for free but is your time worth more than $0.25 an hour?

Ad Revenue

 

Here’s a snipped of my last 90 days ad revenue on YouTube. The cool thing about this is it only seems to grow with time and ad revenue is only 1 many ways to monetize your channel. Ad revenue only makes up 20-40% of total revenue for most YouTubers.
