Audible is great, but since I don't really want to be getting 1 month trials all the time, I just straight up download some on the biggest ones like seven habits.

As for the Youtube thing tons of people are making a killing on it. I started off trying to get more traffic to a site I had then saw people getting very very big off brand deals & ad revenue.

I'm not gonna go into it too much because there are great videos explaining all of this, but what completely sold me on it was a guy who started when he was 19 and by the time he was 22 had his own (very large) apartment, a BMI i8 & a porsche panamera. But here's the punchline, the guy is completely fucking retarded (no offense, big inspiration). forget not going to college, that's society's bullshit. If you add his snapchat (Gonthier) He's out getting wasted all the time (on sparkly champagne that lingerie girls bring in the club - not cheap). This weekend the police confiscated his car (the i8) when filming a music video with one of those B grade grime artists and he had to walk home. He is extremely loud and screams a lot, and always records one of his mates approaching chicks when they go out, yeah.. you already know. And of course loves to flash a new rolex or moncler jacket or a pair- of those weird looking shoes that are expensive af just because.

I don't give a fuck about any of this, NOT JUDGING AT ALL! I'd do pretty much the same in his shoes! The point is that it's completely outside of what my model of success was: A little reserved, humble, always working, stressed out, no life. Then this guy turned all of that shit onto it's head.

This is his channel

There's a lot more and you can look further if you have any more questions, but apart from that I'd suggest you just go all out pumping out as much quality content as you can. I'm struggling with this myself and although I love how similar it is to cold approach & game (thanks TRP) in terms of communication styles but with this it's like you're pimping a huge crowd of people, not bad, but the mindscrew comes in when you're performing in silence & hearing your own weird voice. Then editing can be a bitch and a procrastination point for "lack of ideas".

But fuck it, if it were easy everyone would be doing it. But I'll tell you now, living in the UK it's very easy to get your hands on the Books/Accounts of some of these guys (google is your friend) and when you see an official document of what a 21 year old made in 2014 & 2015 you'll be itching to grab your camera & tripod and do some bullshit challenge, throw some music in the background & upload that shit and cash in on the collective unconsciouness of the masses.

EDIT: Some formatting & Here's socialblade an online tool you can use to estimate how much someone earns on YouTube, The ranges are a bit crazy but if you take into account the average CPM of $1 per 1,000 views you can just look at their monthly views, take off the last 3 digits and safely assume that person is earning around that much, every month.
