This
is
Charlie
He
makes
200
000
a
month
with
six
different
YouTube
channels
And
the
crazy
part
is
he's
actually
an
introvert
I
flew
out
to
California
to
get
his
story
and
ask
him
exactly
how
he
got
good
at
YouTube
and
the
monetization
strategy
he
uses
to
make
over
2
4
million
a
year
Most
of
my
money
is
made
through
right
now
Charlie
started
his
journey
making
0
for
months
Then
he
learned
a
secret
and
created
one
video
that
would
change
everything
In
the
actual
video
itself
we
had
a
lot
of
stuff
So
that's
really
how
you
get
people
to
click
on
it
and
then
actually
watch
the
entire
video
In
this
video
he
breaks
down
the
blueprint
for
how
anyone
can
make
200
000
a
month
with
YouTube
how
to
create
videos
that
get
millions
of
views
and
his
advice
for
all
new
entrepreneurs
just
starting
out
I
focus
on
not
just
making
viral
videos
but
I'm
I'm
Pat
Walls
and
this
is
Starter
Story
Thanks
for
having
me
man
Your
place
is
awesome
Thank
you
Thanks
for
coming
Tell
me
about
yourself
and
what
you
built
I'm
Charlie
I'm
31
years
old
and
I
am
an
entrepreneur
in
Southern
California
I
currently
have
six
plus
YouTube
channels
On
a
typical
month
we'll
do
200
000
to
250
000
in
revenue
We
just
had
our
best
month
ever
this
month
We'll
do
close
to
300
000
That's
for
the
YouTube
channels
And
then
for
the
staffing
company
we
started
that
last
year
It's
a
low
six
figure
company
right
now
but
I'm
putting
most
of
my
energy
into
that
one
because
we
want
to
grow
it
and
be
able
to
maybe
get
acquired
someday
All
right
If
you
can
break
down
a
little
bit
more
about
all
the
channels
and
all
the
businesses
that
you've
built
and
how
you
make
money
So
my
main
channel
is
just
called
Charlie
Chang
my
name
We
have
I
think
1
1
million
subscribers
I
have
another
channel
called
Start
Wise
It
has
about
50
000
subscribers
And
then
we
have
Charlie
Chang
Show
The
Penthouse
My
first
website
is
one
we
just
started
It
has
like
600
subscribers
as
of
right
now
Most
of
my
money
is
made
through
affiliate
marketing
right
now
I'd
say
about
50
to
55
of
the
revenue
that
comes
in
We
also
do
brand
sponsorships
So
that's
usually
like
20
25
And
then
AdSense
is
also
going
to
be
20
25
That's
across
all
the
different
channels
Yeah
So
you're
a
subscriber
of
Starter
Story
right
I
am
Yeah
For
about
I
think
six
months
now
Nice
What
do
you
like
about
it
or
what
do
you
use
it
for
So
I
think
a
huge
part
of
how
I
was
able
to
do
pretty
well
was
because
I
spent
a
lot
of
my
time
brainstorming
learning
like
seeing
what
other
people
do
So
that's
why
I
think
I
get
a
ton
of
value
from
Starter
Story
just
because
these
are
like
crazy
case
studies
It
just
allows
me
to
stay
on
trends
It
allows
me
to
see
how
other
people
do
it
I
sort
of
view
it
as
like
a
mentorship
Yeah
that's
awesome
If
anyone
is
looking
for
ideas
for
their
own
business
you
can
check
out
starterstory
com
Learn
from
thousands
of
founders
who
are
just
a
few
steps
ahead
of
you
People
that
haven't
necessarily
raised
money
from
VC
or
have
super
rich
parents
These
are
case
studies
of
people
that
turned
simple
side
projects
or
passive
income
sources
into
businesses
that
completely
changed
their
lives
So

in

Tell
me
about
what
life
was
like
growing
up
and
how
you
became
an
entrepreneur
So
I
grew
up
in
a
non
entrepreneurial
household
My
parents
really
wanted
me
to
be
a
doctor
Went
to
college
not
knowing
what
I
was
going
to
do
After
I
graduated
could
not
find
a
job
for
the
life
of
me
So
I
basically
just
started
doing
work
for
myself
I've
done
like
every
side
hustle
in
the
world
Photography
video
print
modeling
and
like
a
little
bit
of
acting
I
started
a
clothing
brand
I've
had
a
marketing
agency
real
estate
mortgages
everything
It
was
definitely
hard
though
because
when
I
first
graduated
college
I
was
basically
making
zero
dollars
Seeing
all
my
friends
with
their
high
paying
like
accounting
jobs
it
didn't
make
me
feel
good
I
sort
of
felt
like
not
successful
But
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
in
a
similar
situation
where
they
don't
want
to
go
the
traditional
route
They
don't
want
to
do
something
that
their
parents
want
them
to
do
And
if
I
could
just
tell
them
one
thing
it's
like
with
enough
persistence
with
enough
risk
taking
you
can
just
pretty
much
do
anything
you
want
After
a
little
bit
I
sort
of
started
getting
some
more
clients
and
stuff
like
that
I
was
making
about
like
50
000
And
then
in
2020
that's
basically
when
the
YouTube
channel
started
taking
off
I
think
I
made
750
in
one
single
day
from
AdSense
And
that's
when
I
was
like
dang
this
could
be
something
big
What
did
you
do
after
that
I
just
basically
started
learning
a
ton
about
YouTube
how
to
monetize
how
to
make
more
content
did
a
ton
of
brainstorming
on
what
types
of
content
I
can
make
that
were
doing
well
at
that
time
I
just
started
making
videos
almost
every
single
day
I
was
like
if
I
can
make
this
opportunity
work
it's
going
to
be
life
changing
The
growth
was
pretty
fast
like
500
to
1
000
subscribers
per
day
In
terms
of
AdSense
we
were
doing
maybe
10
to
20k
a
month
Yeah
so
that
was
a
huge
change
for
me
Wow
And
were
you
just
doing
it
all
by
yourself
then
You
said
we
but
was
it
just
you
Yeah
that
was
completely
me
So
I
did
everything
myself
Yeah
How
long
did
it
take
to
actually
get
good
at
YouTube
I'd
say
one
or
two
years
I'd
started
making
finance
content
in
2018
And
my
first
videos
were
super
bad
A
big
thing
that
got
me
to
be
pretty
good
at
YouTube
was
just
being
able
to
present
information
in
a
way
that
makes
people
want
to
stay
and
that
they
can
actually
understand
People
watching
YouTube
aren't
going
to
be
super
technical
so
you
have
to
really
break
it
down
in
a
way
that's
easy
to
understand
Even
if
you're
super
introverted
like
I
am
even
if
you
don't
have
like
natural
ability
on
camera
you
can
get
good
at
it
Yeah
What
are
little
things
that
you
would
advise
for
people
to
improve
as
they
keep
making
videos
I'd
say
it's
always
important
to
up
your
production
quality
or
improve
some
aspect
of
your
videos
whether
it
be
camera
audio
storytelling
stuff
like
that
I
think
everyone
needs
to
go
into
any
business
especially
YouTube
thinking
I
just
need
to
make
enough
videos
until
I
get
one
that
pops
off
I
also
think
it's
really
important
to
be
brainstorming
and
thinking
about
different
potential
pivots
you
can
make
For
example
when
crypto
was
booming
I
started
making
content
about
crypto
When
stocks
were
booming
I
started
making
content
about
stocks
When
side
hustles
were
booming
I
started
making
content
about
side
hustles
I
understand
what
types
of
things
people
are
looking
for
and
I
make
content
that
doesn't
need
to
be
brand
new
for
it
to
be
relevant
How
do
you
really
get
views
on
YouTube
How
do
you
make
great
videos
that
get
millions
of
views
I
focus
on
not
just
making
viral
videos
but
making
videos
that
people
are
searching
for
One
of
my
most
popular
videos
is
just
talking
about
my
different
sources
of
income
So
something
like
that
where
you
have
an
age
that
people
can
relate
to
big
number
like
10
sources
of
income
people
are
like
whoa
And
then
a
dollar
amount
just
really
makes
them
curious
to
click
on
it
Those
types
of
titles
have
done
really
well
for
me
So
a
huge
part
of
my
channel
is
evergreen
SEO
content
For
example
how
to
invest
in
stocks
I'll
make
something
like
that
That's
something
that
people
are
actively
searching
for
I
don't
focus
just
on
the
virality
I
prefer
to
go
the
searchable
route
In
terms
of
videos
that
perform
extremely
well
too
for
example
I
did
a
video
called
asking
Coachella
VIPs
what
they
do
for
a
living
I
thought
that
was
the
perfect
blend
of
an
experience
that
most
people
don't
get
to
have
Good
thumbnail
It
was
also
trending
because
Coachella
was
happening
at
the
time
And
then
in
the
actual
video
itself
we
had
a
lot
of
storytelling
So
that's
really
how
you
get
people
to
click
on
it
and
then
actually
watch
the
entire
video
Yeah
What
kind
of
tools
and
software
do
you
use
to
run
your
business
and
to
improve
your
business
So
all
of
our
content
planning
is
on
ClickUp
We
use
Frame
io
for
uploading
footage
and
having
our
editors
put
drafts
on
there
We
make
revision
comments
stuff
like
that
There's
tools
like
OneUp10
and
Creator
Hooks
Pro
to
come
up
with
thumbnail
ideas
and
title
ideas
We
have
a
pretty
big
team
now
For
all
team
communication
we
use
Slack
So
that's
been
great
In
terms
of
managing
a
lot
of
our
talent
we
use
Hubstaff
which
is
a
super
good
time
tracking
tool
And
then
in
terms
of
AI
tools
we
are
using
a
good
amount
of
them
to
help
with
the
content
production
process
just
to
make
it
more
efficient
For
example
for
short
form
content
we
use
SubMagic
Descript
and
we
use
Opus
Those
really
help
us
be
able
to
push
out
a
lot
of
short
form
content
from
our
long
form
content
That's
something
I
always
tell
people
If
you
make
long
form
content
you
might
as
well
cut
that
up
into
short
form
content
All
right
let's
break
down
some
of
the
financials
behind
the
business
How
much
does
it
cost
to
run
this
business
and
what
does
your
team
look
like
For
the
media
business
we
currently
have
26
people
There's
me
there's
my
COO
which
is
the
other
guy
that's
local
Under
him
we
basically
have
two
or
three
different
project
managers
Each
of
those
project
managers
works
with
a
ton
of
video
editors
thumbnail
people
a
graphics
person
a
website
person
a
lot
of
miscellaneous
roles
like
that
In
terms
of
the
cost
to
run
that
team
it's
about
20
000
25
000
a
month
And
that's
because
we're
just
so
heavily
using
overseas
talent
And
how
are
you
able
to
find
a
lot
of
these
team
members
Combination
of
Upwork
Fiverr
online
jobs
But
most
of
our
current
team
members
are
actually
from
Paired
which
is
the
overseas
staffing
company
Right
you're
using
your
own
app
to
Yeah
100
It's
the
perfect
pairing
Hiring
overseas
is
great
but
it's
super
hard
to
find
really
talented
people
So
we
basically
have
our
local
recruitment
teams
They
go
out
there
they'll
sort
through
like
300
500
people
find
the
best
one
or
two
people
and
then
present
those
people
to
you
So
that's
basically
what
our
service
does
And
what
kind
of
costs
would
people
be
looking
at
if
they
wanted
to
hire
someone
through
your
company
Yeah
so
we
charge
a
one
time
placement
fee
We
don't
take
money
from
the
client
and
then
pass
it
on
to
the
talent
It's
a
full
handoff
which
saves
people
a
lot
of
money
A
full
time
person
for
most
positions
I'd
say
is
about
600
to
1
000
per
month
You
have
these
successful
YouTube
channels
and
now
you're
starting
a
little
bit
of
a
different
business
with
your
staffing
firm
Why
did
you
decide
to
start
that
I
want
to
be
more
of
a
traditional
entrepreneur
where
I
have
equity
in
a
business
And
while
I
have
the
channels
behind
me
the
marketing
it
makes
sense
to
build
something
that
I
can
use
my
channels
to
help
grow
All
right
so
for
anyone
watching
that
wants
to
get
into
entrepreneurship
what
should
they
do
Surround
yourself
with
content
and
people
that
are
doing
it
It
just
makes
it
seem
like
it's
all
possible
right
And
then
I
would
try
and
learn
some
type
of
high
value
skill
There's
tons
of
skills
you
can
learn
within
a
few
months
I
think
that
you
can
start
to
monetize
They
all
sort
of
build
on
top
of
each
other
and
they
all
allow
you
to
be
better
at
the
next
thing
Personally
for
me
I've
never
built
a
company
that
took
up
a
ton
of
capital
to
start
I
think
doing
some
type
of
agency
or
service
based
business
is
the
best
way
for
anyone
to
get
started
For
any
of
the
viewers
watching
if
you
want
to
get
started
with
an
agency
or
service
model
you
can
check
out
our
100
Productized
Services
where
you
can
learn
exactly
how
businesses
are
using
the
productized
service
model
how
much
money
they
make
how
they
grew
how
they
got
customers
That's
in
the
link
down
below
in
the
description
Another
thing
that
I've
learned
recently
is
really
not
trying
to
do
everything
myself
I
used
to
think
that
I
wanted
to
be
a
solopreneur
for
the
rest
of
my
life
but
after
you
hire
your
first
person
you
realize
okay
this
is
what
an
actual
business
is
right
It's
a
business
that
can
run
without
yourself
You
don't
need
to
always
be
there
for
it
to
work
Some
people
that
might
be
watching
this
may
be
feeling
a
little
bit
of
analysis
paralysis
on
what
idea
they
should
start
What's
your
answer
to
that
What
I
would
tell
them
is
just
don't
overanalyze
it
Pick
something
If
it's
the
wrong
answer
or
if
it's
the
wrong
thing
then
you'll
just
learn
from
that
and
you
won't
make
that
mistake
If
it's
the
right
thing
then
you
made
a
fast
decision
right
Yeah
I
think
speed
for
successful
people
is
such
a
universal
trait
For
anyone
that
thinks
they're
in
a
rut
or
they
want
to
have
a
big
breakthrough
I'd
say
one
thing
they
can
do
is
really
change
their
environment
or
change
their
routine
completely
Same
thing
with
location
If
you're
stuck
in
a
city
where
you
feel
like
you're
not
growing
as
much
as
you
should
be
move
to
a
different
city
All
right
Tell
me
what
a
day
in
the
life
is
like
for
you
Every
day
is
quite
different
which
I
think
is
the
best
part
about
entrepreneurship
at
least
for
me
I
usually
wake
up
5
30
to
6
30
AM
do
a
little
morning
routine
probably
hit
the
gym
get
some
work
done
and
then
the
rest
of
the
day
is
just
working
going
out
How
much
do
you
usually
work
per
day
I'd
say
a
typical
work
week
is
going
to
be
30
to
50
hours
of
actual
work
and
then
who
knows
how
much
brainstorming
and
just
thinking
about
it
So
you're
always
on
kind
of
thing
I
think
I'm
always
on
Yeah
It's
like
a
lifestyle
business
right
I
try
and
make
my
life
part
of
the
business
and
I
enjoy
having
that
mix
Yeah
What
do
you
like
to
do
for
fun
or
for
leisure
leisure
I
like
to
work
out
I
like
to
watch
Netflix
with
my
girlfriend
play
pickleball
play
music
And
this
business
is
also
afforded
you
some
nice
cars
You
have
a
car
buying
habit
I
wouldn't
say
it's
a
car
buying
habit
but
yeah
I
have
three
cars
now
I
guess
What
you
got
I
have
an
RV
Sprinter
van
that
we
just
got
I
have
a
Range
Rover
and
I
have
a
Ferrari
Why
did
you
buy
the
Sprinter
Tax
write
off
If
you
were
to
give
any
advice
to
your
younger
self
when
you
were
just
starting
out
with
the
side
hustles
what
would
that
be
I
think
it'd
be
to
carve
out
my
own
identity
myself
rather
than
try
and
do
things
that
are
expected
or
that
society
says
is
normal
So
I've
been
a
people
pleaser
I
think
all
my
life
I
always
felt
sort
of
out
of
place
place
because
I
want
to
do
different
projects
and
things
I
can't
really
ever
talk
with
other
people
that
want
to
do
something
similar
Moving
here
meeting
so
many
entrepreneurs
getting
to
pursue
entrepreneurship
myself
it's
really
allowed
me
to
grow
as
a
person
and
be
surrounded
by
the
energy
that
I've
I
think
always
wanted
to
be
surrounded
by
Awesome
Thank
you
so
much
Charlie
Thanks
for
having
me
Follow
this
advice
and
you
will
be
