    Sir U are a great person I can feel that.
    I'm trying to launch my UA-cam channel yet no views no subscribers its stuck.
    I realized I don't have the skills necessary to succeed If I had money I would buy that course 500 dollar its not a big deal unfortunately I'm completely broke at the moment so 500 bucks it seems to me like climbing a mountain.
    I pray every day to become successful and rich soon or later it will happen.

    That was extremely informative. Although I have been both the YT and URL paths, I actually had more results over the years with the YT platform. The proliferation by the Ai tools just compound that fact but I never knew why, for sure, until this video. Makes total sense. Maybe people are just tired of ending up on a landing page and would rather just skip to the buy instead...but that now seems to be the 'modus operandi' now

    Greg, you're doing great. I'm obviously looking at a bunch of your videos. I do have a question that encompasses all these different ways to make income - it may require an email vs a comment response? If you have all these different sites where you're listing print on demand products, and another site with affiliate marketing links, and maybe another website for selling digital prints/products, do you have all of these listed under one business name, or multiple business names? If it's all under one business name/sole proprietor name, how do you manage that? If they are all under different business names, how do you manage that? In regards to remaining operating legally, filing taxes, business bank accounts, etc?

    • @GregGottfried
      @GregGottfried  15 днів тому +1

      @@alexandragonzalez1621 Hey no worries! You can put them all under the same business, or even all added to ‘other income’ on taxes if you don’t want to setup a business entity. As for a business though, a single member LLC would be the easiest business to setup if you want to go that route. Since so many people start these as side hustles, there law is very understanding if this and does not have hoops to jump through, especially if you are not trying to business write-off a ton of things.

    @kathrynjayne 11 місяців тому +1

    Hi. Thank you for the videos. I find them incredibly helpful. I’m currently looking for a new path. I spent way too long spinning my wheels in Direct sales. I was wondering how you feel about Amazon KDP? My idea is to make journals, or other low content books and create a UA-cam Chanel that is for self improvement and promote them there? What are your thoughts? Is Amazon KDP worth my time?

    • @GregGottfried
      @GregGottfried  11 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for the comment, and great question. Totally understand that, I did direct sales back in the day and got burned out quickly and ended up leaving. I tried Amazon KDP a couple years ago with not much success.. It seemed to be a lot of 'hoping it works' and not much I could do about it to ensure it worked (hope that makes sense). I would suggest doing affiliate marketing of higher ticket items on that same youtube channel you're considering starting. You'll make a lot more money per sale, and have more control over how much you make by making more videos. This video that we're commenting on is the best all-in-one tutorial I've got on this business model on youtube, but if you're in a position to be able to enroll in the full Masterclass, I think you'll be very happy with what you find there (it's all laid out step-by-step). Just so you don't have to search for the link, it's here greggottfried.com/course Really hoping to get to help you get going!

      @TigerChic 11 місяців тому +3

      Same here, no family or anything, but I am very good with animals and that is my true passion. So I started a channel about animals, so I could get some practice and learn about YT. But since taking Greg's Masterclass, I am starting a new channel. I've learned that "making money online" and all this "AI" is the top money making niches right now, especially on YT. So I just spent the day going through the class videos again so I could get that channel started.
      This is not a sales pitch: But if you haven't signed up for Greg's class yet, you really should! I'm being completely honest with this...I had just lost my job and I spent my last paycheck (my rent money) on that class. I have not regretted it!. I am truly moving forward and starting to make money with affiliate marketing. I don't think I will have to go back to work now. And in my opinion..the best part about that class is that Greg is always there to answer questions and always helping you get over any speed bumps. I highly recommend that class.
      Anyway, don't let anything stop you from getting your life where you want it. I truly hope the very best for you 🙂

    Greg, I'm currently bogged down in the Fullstaq Marketer course which seems like it's taking forever to get through. I don't have HOURS upon HOURS to get through endless videos and the set up of the 'funnels' seems endless and goes nowhere. Do you recommend continuing or just trying to do the UA-cam channel idea instead of funnels? Thanks for your videos.

    • @GregGottfried
      @GregGottfried  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for giving me some background on your situation. I've done the whole funnels strategy and it wasn't for me because it's all together too complicated. If I were in your shoes, I'd just take a pause on the course and try the UA-cam strategy. It's a lot simpler, you can create the channel in a couple hours, and you'll be ready to roll. Some of the students I've taught are making money in the first weeks of starting so I think if you've got the drive to get rolling quickly, you'll start making money pretty straight away.

You will be amazed at what you can do without the headache of website design using a venue like YT, FB , Instagram, Tic Toc or Pinterest.

      I can totally appreciate where you’re coming from because so many people who sell courses now focus their income around the course sales themselves. I hope to get the chance to show you that that is not how I operate. Without looking at my numbers exactly, I think I can safely say that the course only represents between 5-10% of my income. I actually run the same business that I teach in the course, and that is where the vast majority of my income comes from. Lastly, I know words are empty without proof, so, if you watch the free preview of the course, I show income proof just for added credibility 👍

But, because I have been learning from Greg for a very long time and I knew I could trust him. And I can honestly say, I have not regretted spending that money on that course.
