Here’s What I Learned After Reaching 10 Million Views Across Social Media

I thought hitting 10 million views would change my business.

It did at least, not the way I expected.

Here’s what I learned (for free) so you don’t repeat my mistakes 👇

1. Views ≠ Clients

I wish I could tell you 10 million views = $10 million in revenue.

But it doesn’t.

At 16, I was intentional — I promoted products, got some sales, and even made a few thousand. But even then, it wasn’t guaranteed money.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need millions of views to get clients today. YouTube alone can drive a business with a small, loyal audience. But before you run to YouTube…

2. Post Where Your Clients Actually Are

If you’re posting on YouTube but your buyers live on LinkedIn, your content won’t convert no matter how amazing the video is it will fall on deaf ears.

That’s like selling men’s shoes in a women’s store. Wrong message, wrong place.

3. Don’t Ask Too Early

Most creators kill their chances by asking way too soon.

Think about it: a stranger on the street trying to sell you something vs. a colleague who’s helped you before asking a favor. Who do you say yes to?

That’s reciprocity.

It’s the same reason Alex Hormozi was able to do $100M in a single day — he gave value for 3 years before making his big ask.

4. Presentation = Perception

Why does making content look professional matter? Because your content is a reflection of you.

If your audio is terrible, your cuts are messy, or your first 3 seconds are boring, people click away.

The same way when you watch a movie the emotions of background music intensifies the moment like the hero getting backup after being on the ground. The same applies to your videos.

Here's the takeaway if you’re a coach or consultant, you don’t need millions of views.

You Need:

✅ The right platform.

✅ A give-first approach.

✅ Professional, consistent content.

That’s enough to build a loyal audience who actually trusts you and buys from you.

Stop ending every video with “book a call.”

Instead, make 30 fantastic, trust-building videos. Then, when you swing for the fences with your offer, people will be ready.

If you’ve found this valuable leaving a like really helps and helps this get found by other people
