Recently, a brand emailed me and paid $1,500 for 3 short form videos. Took me about 3 hours. What got me that deal wasn't anything complicated. They found me because my email was in my bio. They paid because I knew how to respond, what to charge, and what not to agree to. None of that requires a big audience. Smaller creators land deals like this all the time when they have those pieces in place. I broke the whole thing down inside ACA PRO in a 3-part series: what happened, why the brand paid it, how to talk to brands when they reach out, and why you should never make free content in exchange for product. That's one example of what ACA PRO is built for. ACA PRO used to be a high-ticket program you could only join through a sales call. That kept out a lot of the creators who needed it most, especially people just starting to make money from their content. So I rebuilt it as a monthly membership. It's now $47/month, cancel anytime, with a 7 day free trial! Inside ACA PRO you get: - The Full Time YouTuber System: the roadmap I used to grow to almost 300K subscribers and go full time - A monthly live call with me, including hot seat reviews of your channel - Weekly breakdowns on growth and monetization - Brand deal toolkit: rate card, pitch scripts, media kit template A few ACA PRO member results so far: - Derrick hit 70K+ views on his first long form video - Albert landed his first paid brand deal - AJ landed two of his biggest deals yet If you join now, you lock in $47 for life.

I just posted my June Income Breakdown on Tik Tok and wanted to share where my revenue came from in June alone to show why it’s important to build multiple income streams. - YouTube: $2,437.35 - Brand Deals: $2,400.00 - Skool Community: $627.11 - Affiliate Revenue: $558.81 - TikTok: $127.76 - Facebook: $8.48 - Instagram: $0 Total June Revenue: $6,159.51 No one income stream has to carry the business. The goal is to stack multiple streams over time until they compound into something much bigger. If you have any questions about how I built any of these income streams, drop them below and I’ll answer them 👇 https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTA5jNKsJ/

That’s what happened after Derrick implemented the changes we worked on together inside ACA. @Derrick Kelly No, it wasn’t luck. Before he published, we reviewed his content strategy, refined his idea, improved his thumbnail, and made sure the packaging gave the video the best chance to succeed. Then he hit publish. The result? Over 72,000 views! This is why I believe so much in coaching. Most creators don’t have a content problem. They have a feedback problem. They’ve never had someone who’s already grown an automotive YT channel look at their ideas before they go live and point out what to improve. That’s exactly what we do inside ACA PRO! If you’re serious about growing your automotive YouTube channel and want direct feedback on your content, thumbnails, titles, and strategy, I’d love to chat and review your content to see what I can help you improve. Comment “REVIEW” or send me a DM, and we’ll chat!

If I lost everything today and had to restart my automotive channel from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do: Week 1: - Pick ONE clear niche (don’t try to do everything) - Study 20–30 winning videos in that niche - Write down what worked (titles, thumbnails, ideas) Weeks 2–4: - Start posting 1 long-form video per week (non-negotiable) - Focus heavily on title + thumbnail before even filming - Don’t worry about perfection, just get reps in - Short form content when I can (minimum one per day, you never know when one could pop off) First 10 Videos: - Test different video ideas and angles - Pay attention to what gets clicks and what doesn’t - Double down on anything that shows traction - Dont keep repeating yourself if it’s NOT working After That: - Keep posting consistently - Improve something every upload (title, thumbnail, hook, editing) - Start thinking about building an audience, not just posting content That’s it. Nothing crazy! Most people don’t fail because they can’t do it… they fail because they overcomplicate it or quit too early. If you want, drop your channel below 👇🏼 and I’ll give you one thing I’d focus on if I were you starting over!

Just dropped a new video breaking down some of the biggest things that helped me grow… and the things that completely slowed me down! In this one I go through: - What actually worked for me when I started seeing traction - What I have done wrong! (the things you should avoid) - The small shifts that made the biggest difference in my growth Nothing crazy, just real lessons from my own experience that can save you a lot of time. Hope you enjoy!
