YouTube Academy

Most business owners start YouTube hoping it will fill their calendar and replace cold outreach. But YouTube can do something much bigger than that if you know how to use it at each stage of your business. I've spent the last 6 years helping over 100 businesses grow with YouTube. Right now, my agency Fast Forward Videos is doing $75,000 a month. What I've learned is that the path from zero to $1 million a year is not random. There are 4 distinct stages.

Just one video, built the right way, with the right

If you are a business owner grinding away on YouTube and seeing zero results, you are not alone. The reality is that 92% of YouTubers quit without ever generating a single lead. Not because they lacked knowledge in their field, but because they ran into challenges that never showed up in their analytics. After helping 91 businesses become profitable on YouTube and getting over 200 channels off the ground, I have seen the same painful patterns repeat themselves. Most of them c
