Most people think making money on YouTube means one thing. > More videos. > More views. > More “content.” That’s why they’re exhausted… and still broke. Here’s the uncomfortable truth. You don’t need a big channel. You don’t need to post every day. You don’t need to go viral. You need four videos. Not four random uploads. Four intentional ones. I didn’t understand this early on. I remember hitting 50,000 subscribers and thinking, “Cool. Money should follow.” It didn’t. $500 a month. Even with sponsors. That’s when I realized I was doing the YouTube version of window shopping. I was talking to everyone… and converting no one. So here are the only four business YouTube videos that actually matter if your goal is $25,000, not applause. 1. The “Problem Decoder” video This video proves you understand the pain better than your audience can explain it themselves. Not surface-level advice. Not tips. You name the thing keeping them up at night. When someone watches this and thinks, “Wait… this person gets it,” you’ve already won. 2. The “Specialist” video This is where most creators fail. They talk to “entrepreneurs.” Or “creators.” Or “business owners.” That’s a general doctor. This video makes you the specialist. You solve one specific problem for one specific kind of person. That’s how trust starts. People don’t pay generalists. They pay the person who feels like the only logical choice. 3. The “Proof Without Flexing” video No hype. No fake confidence. Just evidence. Case studies. Results. Stories. This is the gym with worn equipment and walls full of transformations. People don’t need to believe you. They need to see that others already did. 4. The “Decision” video This is where most people get awkward. They hint. They dance. They avoid asking. This video calmly answers the question: “Is this for me, or not?” Who you help. Who you don’t. What happens next. No pressure. Just clarity. Here’s the part nobody tells you. If these four videos are done right,

If I had to start my personal brand online from scratch, and grow from 0 → 10,000 followers in 90 days… Here’s the exact system I’d use in this AI slop era… (no virality chasing, no algorithm luck). Step 1: Pick ONE painful problem for ONE specific audience Not “everyone.” Not “entrepreneurs.” A tiny, painfully clear subset with a frustration you can speak to better than anyone else. Because the fastest way to build trust? Talk about someone’s problem so accurately they feel like you’re reading their mind. Step 2: Study peeps who already dominate that lane Not to copy. To understand what the market is already rewarding. Patterns don’t lie. If something is consistently pulling attention and trust, it’s a signal, not an accident. Step 3: Rebuild their best ideas through your lens Same skeleton. Different soul. Your offer. Your story. Your lived experience. This is what makes your content human, the only thing AI can’t replicate Step 4: Only publish content that builds authority & belief You don’t need 100 posts a week. You need 3 types: 1️⃣ Authority lessons Show you actually know the problem they’re stuck in. 2️⃣ Belief-breakers Show them why their current approach won’t get them out. 3️⃣ Direct problem-solvers Show them the path forward (and why you’re the one who can guide them). No random uploads. No “hope this goes viral.” Just trust-building at scale. Step 5: Repeat what works for 30 days straight The audience will tell you where to double down. Your job is just to listen and refine, not reinvent the wheel every week. Because when you do this right… Followers become leverage. Content becomes compounding trust. And your personal brand becomes an asset that prints revenue from day 1.
