π° Corner Newsstand
I just sat down with Sean Cannell from Think Media to break down exactly how I grew my YouTube channel to 20K subscribers, and the conversation was TOO GOOD not to share! Let's talk about it.
The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything
Before we get into tactics, here's what really made the difference:
I stopped calling it a goal and started calling it my identity. I'm not trying to be a YouTuber - I am a YouTuber.
But here's the real talk - as an introvert, I had to find my way to show up consistently without burning out. And that's exactly what I did.
The Content Formula That Actually Works
Here's the step-by-step process I used to grow from 0 to 20K:
- Focus on Quality Over Quantity
- ONE video per week (that's it!)
- Long-form, value-packed content
- Consistent posting schedule (every Friday)
2. Get the Packaging Right
- A/B test 2-3 thumbnails for EVERY video
- Create compelling titles that make people click
- Focus on the first impression (it matters more than the content!)
3. Repurpose Live Content
- Use live streams to connect with audience
- Clip the best parts for standalone videos
- Let your natural personality shine through
The AI Tools That 10X My Productivity
Y'all know I'm all about working smarter, not harder. Here are the EXACT AI tools I use:
- βPoppy AIβ
- Upload my top videos to train it on my voice
- Analyze my analytics to see what works
- Generate video scripts based on proven content
- Research competitors and get content ideas
2. ChatGPT
- Create thumbnail concepts
- Analyze my analytics
- Plan content series
- Brainstorm video ideas
3. Opus Clipβ
- Automatically clip my long videos
- Create shorts in seconds
- Add captions and transitions
As I told Sean: "That's like a five-person team that I just broke down by speaking about two AI tools."
The Email Strategy That Drives Views
One thing I shared with Sean that most creators miss: your email list is gold for driving initial views!
Here's my exact process:
- Send an email when a new video drops
- Use MiniChat automations on Instagram
- Notify my private communities
- THEN promote on social media
This initial push helps the algorithm see your content is valuable, which leads to more recommendations.
I break down even more of my strategy on the full video which you can find right here.

π AI Alley
In this week's AI Alley, I got more ChatGPT Prompts but first... have you seen what Caption AI can do?
It now can edit your videos for you, and I'm talking about transitions, broll, special effects ... everything. Here are some of the templates
β
We tried it on Dr. Eric Thomas' video which you can see here.β
Aight Here Are Some More ChatGPT Prompt To Make Content
Create your own pill selection... you can get creative and make it about your brand or your niche. I put frenchies LOL
A highly realistic close-up photo of a blister pack with 3 columns and 3 rows, totaling 9 compartments. Instead of pills, each compartment contains a different posture of a realistic, full-body Lilac and tan French bulldogs, all very cute. The image should have a cinematic and advertising feel.
Here is a cute one to make stickers of yourself... you see I have the "LB" on the hat
Create a 10:16 canvas of a kawaii 3D-style sticker sheet featuring a cartoon female, refer to the picture uploaded for a description. She wears a "LB" black snapback hat. Each sticker should show a different expressive pose, facial emotion, and gesture in a charming, cute, and playful way. The overall style must match iOS/Memoji vibes but with a slightly more realistic 3D render and smoother textures.
β
Include the following sticker captions with expressive matching poses:
1. βWhat's Poppinβ β with a friendly shrug and a smile on the face
2. βThat's Fireβ β hand out with fire in my hands
3. βLOLβ β laughing with one hand on the face
4. βIDKβ β shrugging with raised eyebrows
5. βLet's Goβ β confident thumbs-up and looking excited
6. βHmmβ¦β β thoughtful expression (thinking) with hand on chin
7. βPraise Godβ β praise hands are up
8. βThank Youβ β palms together and kind expression
β
Background should be soft pastel gradient, expressions must be highly readable and playful. Stickers must appear slightly raised with drop shadows to enhance depth.β
