I Tried Making Money With Claude AI For 30 Days

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video documents a 30-day challenge where the creator tested whether an AI tool called Claude could help a non-tech-savvy individual generate income from scratch. The subject chosen for this experiment was his brother, Zach, a 50-year-old HVAC professional and realtor with thirty years of experience in the trades but no prior audience or editing skills. Contrary to common advice suggesting dropshipping or app development, Claude guided them toward creating educational content that leveraged Zach's existing expertise. The core argument presented is that while many business models exist, the single most critical bottleneck for success is traffic; without an audience, even the best product cannot generate revenue. Consequently, the strategy focused entirely on building a YouTube channel as a free, scalable method to attract viewers, which then serves as a foundation for various monetization streams. The execution of this plan relied heavily on using AI to handle the time-consuming aspects of content creation, allowing Zach to work within his limited four-hour weekly schedule. The process involved feeding Claude detailed information about Zach's career, problems he solved, and local trade knowledge to generate video niches, scripts, and titles. This approach eliminated the need for expensive equipment or professional editing; Zach recorded simple videos on his phone with basic lighting, yet the content performed exceptionally well once it gained traction. The channel experienced a "popcorn effect," where initial slow growth eventually led to a viral first video that propelled the entire channel forward, proving that consistency and systematized workflows are more important than high production value or innate talent. Monetization for Zach came in two distinct phases after he was approved as a YouTube partner. Initially, he earned approximately $78,000 annually based on AdSense revenue alone within the first month of monetization. However, the creator quickly identified a new opportunity by analyzing viewer comments, which revealed a high demand for guidance on entering the trades. By adding an affiliate link to a career training platform in the video descriptions, Zach created a second income stream that generated thousands of dollars in commissions shortly after launch. This case study serves as proof that the system works for people who are not tech-savvy or young, demonstrating that AI can provide the leverage needed to bypass traditional barriers like lack of time, audience, or technical skill. The creator concludes by emphasizing that this success was not due to luck but rather a repeatable system that anyone can apply, though he also promotes a live training session for those who want deeper instruction. He clarifies that his endorsement of Claude is genuine and based on personal investment rather than sponsorship, having spent significant money testing the tool himself. The overarching message is that while AI cannot magically create money without action, it acts as a powerful force multiplier that allows busy professionals to build full-time income streams by solving real-world problems for others. Ultimately, the video argues that the gap between failure and success often lies in taking consistent action with a proven system rather than waiting for inspiration or perfect conditions.

I tried making money with Claude for 30 days and I promised at least one piece of what happened will fit your exact situation. And this is coming from someone who went 300,000 student loan debt for a doctorate that I don't even use. And so I spent about 10,000 hours since 2022 building the AI playbook that I wish I had back when I was looking at what career to go into. And it's helped me grow this YouTube channel to 1.5 million subscribers and make tens of millions of dollars. And now over a thousand people in my community are running it themselves. But the problem with most of these YouTube videos where people try out Claude is they'll sell something, but they sell it on their massive channel. So, it's not that their business idea from Claude actually worked. It's just that they had a massive amount of people already following them. And so, they could pretty much sell anything and make money with it. And so, I wanted to do this 30-day challenge with Claude, but I wanted to do it with the worst possible candidate. And so I picked somebody in my family, not someone who's young and techsavvy and already knows how to use AI, but a 50-year-old who spent 30 years in the trades, never made a dollar outside of his career, and he's also not techsavvy. And he had zero audience, zero head start, and 29 days later, he made $214 in a single day. And that's a $78,000 year run rate. So he literally went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. So, everybody asks Claude to hand them money, but the winners ask it for leverage, pointed at the one bottleneck that decides who actually gets paid. And we'll get into that here in a minute. So, whether you're laid off and rebuilding, or you're working in corporate and suffocating, or you're like me where you got a doctorate, got a really good job, but you kind of hated it, or you're 50 and you've been told that it's too late, or you're a business owner who's tired of chasing, this experiment will be very interesting to you, and it was built for every one of you. And I'm going to be showing all the proof, all the receipts on the screen, and a step-by-step guide for exactly how we did this so that you can apply that step-by-step guide and repeat it for yourself. So, if you appreciate me making this type of content, you want to see me make more of it in the future, then let me know by gently tapping that like button. Let's go ahead and jump into it right now. All right, so day one, I opened Claude and I asked it one question. I want to build a new income stream from zero to real money in 30 days. What business should I build? Now, that chat's a recreation, by the way. We asked Claude something very similar to this on day zero. But Claude's answer, well, I did not want to hear it. It didn't say drop shipping. It didn't say build an app. It didn't say start an AI automation business. It said the business doesn't even matter yet. Now, full answer here in a minute, but first, the rules. Rule number one, it could not be my channel, right? If I already have a big audience and then I try to sell something to them with AI and call it proof, that's total bull. And honestly, even if I started a second channel, it wouldn't be fair because too many people would recognize my face. So, I went and found the unfairest test I could possibly find. I convinced my big brother, Zach, to do it. Now, I basically picked a random 50-year-old in my family and he spent 30 years in the trades. He's never made a dollar outside of his career, and he's also quite busy, right? He has an HVAC business to run. Plus, he's a realtor on the side. Plus, he has a really good social life. And he had never edited a single video in his life. So, if Claude could work for him, it would work for anybody. Now, one thing I'm going to say about this is the truth is every business model and every side hustle out there works. Yes, you heard that right. They all work, but they all need one thing in common, and that is traffic. If you don't have traffic, it's like trying to sell something to people and nobody knows you exist. Like, how in the world are you going to sell something to someone if nobody knows you exist? So, there's three ways of getting traffic. One is paid ads. And not only is paid ads difficult, you're probably going to lose money. You also need a lot of money to get started with paid ads, but it doesn't really meet the criteria of a test like this because it would take a lot of money to get started and that's not really fair. Two is cold outreach. So, this is where you cold call or you knock on somebody's door or you cold email or you cold message them on social media and try to sell them something. And that can also work, but the problem is it just takes a lot of time. It basically turns into a full-time job. And Zach didn't have a lot of time. He only had about 4 hours a week. So, the third way of making money is to post social media content. This is completely free. It doesn't take a bunch of money to start up and it's something that Cloud can definitely help you do. Now, there's a lot of different social media platforms out there you can post content on, but the best one by far is YouTube. And the best thing is you can use YouTube as your mother platform and then you can syndicate the content to all the other platforms. So, you make long- form videos on YouTube and then syndicate that content to other platforms. But you have to make videos in a particular way so that when you syndicate it, it actually works. And usually posting on YouTube takes a long time to make money, right? Social media in general is really good for making money, but almost everybody says that it takes a long time. But if you do it the right way, it doesn't. And I'm going to show you exactly what we did. So 30 days on the clock, every result is a real daystamp dashboard and the content stays simple. Tiny time cost. And there has to be a tiny time cost because this man has a business to run and he doesn't have a lot of time. Time out. Time out. Guys, if you ever thought, "I should be on YouTube, but I never started because of the time or the editing or not knowing what to say or not knowing how to get started, AI just solved all of those problems for you." Because you can now make money from YouTube working less than 4 hours a week. 15 to 30 minutes a day is all you need. And this works even if you have a full-time job, you run a business, you're already doing YouTube and you failed at it, or you're doing YouTube and you're doing pretty well, but you're struggling with monetization, or you're just a normal person who isn't techy at all. Which is exactly why this week I'm hosting a live training on exactly how to start YouTube stepby step for beginners. It is 100% free, no cash at all. And on top of that, I'm going to be handing out even more bonuses at the training. Now, just to give you one example, you'll be getting my niche validator pro that's powered by Claude and we have a chat GBT version as well. And this is a super valuable piece of software where you can finally figure out what the best niche for you is. Or if you already have a niche, it's going to help you make it 10 times better. So, do not sleep on this one. Go and grab your spot down in the description and the pin comment below because the only way to get it is by joining the training. So, if you wait, you might miss out. Now, with that said, at the workshop, you will get to meet me personally. I will be answering questions before, during, and after the workshop directly. So, I'm looking forward to seeing you there. So, go click that link in the description and the pinned comment below. It's happening this week. So, get it on your calendar. And if for some reason you can't make it or you weren't able to be there, still go click that link in the description because it will automatically put you on a wait list to notify you when we'll be running our next live training and you will be the first one to hear about it. So, yeah, looking forward to seeing you there. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Now, one more thing. Sachs results here are not typical. He had me in his ear every single day and he was using the system that I've refined over years which I'm going to be teaching in the live training. So again, click that link in the description of the pin comment to check it out. But this isn't magic. It's a system and it does require you to actually take action. So what did Claude actually say? Well, I'm not going to describe it. I'm going to show you. Well, it pretty much said that every way of making money works. Drop shipping works, freelancing works, courses works, agencies work, coaching works. But the problem with dam near all of them is the exact same problem which is what I said before and that is traffic. Some people refer to this as distribution as well. And you can have the greatest product on earth but if nobody knows you exist there's just simply nobody to buy it. So no traffic, no buyers and no buyers, no business. Now there are only three doors to traffic. Door one is you pay for it. Paid ads that's tens of thousands of dollars before you even get it down. Very difficult to do and takes a lot of money. So we can't do that. Door two, you chase it. cold calls, cold DMs, knocking on doors. Most people are just not built for that. Plus, it takes a bunch of time. And yeah, I've done this before and it's not fun. Door three, you make the traffic chase you. Aka, you make content and they come to you. So, this is free. It's scalable and countless completely normal people have pulled this off, right? We're not talking some super geniuses that coded some crazy AI app, right? Just normal people that have normal businesses. For instance, Adam's a realtor in Austin, and his channel hands him a steady stream of inbound leads every month with zero cold calls and zero doornocking. Peter is a urologist, an actual MD, and his brand new channel hit monetization eligibility in about 2 months. And Jyn is a nurse, and the first month she got monetized on YouTube, she made $6,000, then $8,000. Then just this last month I talked to her, she made over $10,000. And she did it all by literally just recording on her webcam. Seriously. So, a realtor, a doctor, a nurse, not influencers. Nobody is doing Tik Tok dances here. And when I asked Claude which platform, it named the one that I already knew was coming, which is YouTube, the mother platform. So, like I said before, you make your videos the right way and then you syndicate everything, right? Every clip, every platform, one brand growing everything at once. And here's the thing, I couldn't argue with a word of it. I've watched that exact logic print money for 10 years. Claude just said it without me being in the room. So if you solve traffic once, every other way of making money starts working. So traffic is going to be the bottleneck for just about any business that you start. Or if you have a business right now and you're trying to scale it, it's also likely going to be the bottleneck because it solves every other problem in your business. Obviously, it solves the problem of like actually making money. So the marketing side, but if you have a sales team, for instance, let's just say you're selling like a high ticket service. Well, guess what? Your sales team becomes a bunch of cashiers because people come to you already ready to buy. So, it makes your sales process really easy. Additionally, the people that come to you and actually buy your product are much more likely to know, like, and trust you. They're going to be way less skeptical, and you're going to have way more of them. So, you can be pickier about who actually buys your product. You don't have to accept everybody. So, if someone's not a good fit for you, you can just tell them, "Sorry, we're full right now." Additionally, when people actually buy your stuff, they're much more likely to actually implement it. So, they're more likely to get results, too. And because of the fact that they're more likely to implement and get results, it's going to be way easier for them to give you testimonials. And then when you get more testimonials, you're going to make more money. They're also more likely to refer you to other people because they're going to send your channel to their friends and their family. And then the friends and family are going to be likely to buy your stuff, too. For instance, we had two sisters recently join us. Both of them have already gotten results, and I just interviewed one of them last week. She's making a full-time income with a tiny channel, and the other sister is right behind her, and she'll probably get interviewed on the channel here pretty soon, too. And then if you're hiring people, if you actually have a presence on YouTube, it actually gets easier to hire people. We have a players wanting to work with us all the time because of my YouTube channel. So with that being said, let's start from day zero. We did not touch a camera. We opened Claude and we built the machine first. So session one was the niche. We fed Claude everything that Zach actually is. nearly 30 years of trades experience, an HVAC business on his plate, zero audience, barely any free time, all of his passions, all of his hobbies, all the things that he's spent a lot of time doing, all the skills that he's learned throughout his career, all the problems that he's had, all the things that he's been able to overcome in his life, we fed all of it into Claude, and then we asked it what he should make videos about. So, here's a Claude prompt. I'm going to put it on the screen. This can be a good way to get started. With that being said, I highly recommend you attend our live training. If you're confused about what niche to go into or what to sell, or if you already have a niche, but you're not really certain on it, you want to make that niche 10 times better. Again, highly recommend you attend our live training cuz we're going to dive way deeper into this. Click that link in the description in the pin comment below. But with that being said, just to get started right here, it was a prompt very similar to this, which we'll put on the screen. You can screenshot it and put it into Claude. And when we did this, the answer was so obvious that it hurt. We're going to help people who wanted to get into the trades or career switchers pick and then land their first trades job. And this is stuff that's honestly common sense to Zach because not only does he have a massive amount of experience in the trades, but most of his friends are in the trades as well. And so it's very obvious to him which trades are easy to get into and the pros and cons of all the trades as well. And he could just talk about those on camera and help guide people into the right one for them. And this is the exact stuff that thousands of people are stuck with and they're googling every single day. In other words, this is a problem that people have and Zach can help them solve that problem. Section two is packaging and scripts. So Claude did the heavy lifting here, which is the titles, the hooks, a reusable script formula, which is exactly why a guy who can barely text could do this. And he wrote his first script in about 15 minutes. Seriously, it only took him about 15 minutes to write his first YouTube script. And this was right after he started YouTube. And this was not AI slop. This is a script where the information, the source of information was him. It came from him. And Claude just basically helped him flesh out the ideas and turn it into an attentiongrabbing script. And then once we had Zach's niche dialed in, it became very obvious what video ideas we should make. Now, the video is very important, and that's another thing we'll be going over in the live training this week much more deeply. Again, click the link in the description, the pin comment below. But basically, we use this thing called the icon method to find video ideas that are probably 10 to 30 times more likely to do well than a random video idea on YouTube. But the video idea flows from the niche. So, it's important to have the niche down first and then pick the right video ideas within a winning niche. And that right there is the part that everybody misses. We keep the content stupid simple on purpose. Simple content, tiny time cost, and that's the whole time secret. With that being said, I'm going to go ahead and put a prompt up on the screen right now. Now, the key at the end of this prompt is that it's going to interview you until it has enough context to give you a really good script. And when you're talking back and forth with it, I literally recommend that you actually talk to it. So, on the bottom right on Claude, there's a voice command button and you can just click that and then you can just literally talk to it. And then you want to do what's known as a yap session. This is where you basically just yap about everything you know about the topic. And the yap session might last 5 or 10 minutes max. and just pretend like you're talking to a friend and just giving them advice on the topic and then Claude might ask you a few questions just to follow up and then it's going to package that information, give you an attentiongrabbing script. So, this is exactly what we did with Zach and then we had him record it. Now, you might be thinking, "Well, Shane, you're skipping that section pretty quickly." Guys, you do not need any type of fancy set, fancy camera, or anything like that when you're helping people solve their problems. This goes back to the type of channel that I told you to make in the first place, which is not an entertainment channel where you're doing Tik Tok dances. Uh, it's not some kind of Mr. Beast style channel where you're doing some crazy challenge and it's super entertaining. It is the type of channel where you are simply just taking your knowledge, your experience, your expertise and you are helping other people who are a few steps behind you solve the same problems that you've already solved in the past. And when you make that type of content, nobody cares about the quality, right? The editing doesn't have to be crazy. You don't have to have some expensive set. You don't have to have some expensive camera with a $1,000 lens. Nobody cares. This is why nurse Jen, for instance, was able to record on her webcam and still had her channel blow up to a full-time income. And in Zach's case, I told him to start off with just his phone, right? So, if you have an iPhone, a Samsung, a Google Pixel, within the last few years, it is more than good enough to get started on YouTube. And in fact, there's been channels like Mr. Ballin, for instance, that got to over 5 million subscribers just by recording on their phone. So, we recorded a dead simple video. We put it up and the first video goes live and it was this video right here, right? Basically just helping people choose the right trade career. And I'll be honest with you, this video was pretty mediocre at best, right? The lighting wasn't great. The audio was just okay. This was some pure flip phone energy stuff. Okay, love you, Zach. But it was right. Additionally, he had an extremely monotone voice when he was talking, right? So, it was very, very obvious that he was talking off of a script. Some people in the comment section even thought that he was AI, which he wasn't. He just sounded super monotone to the point where it sounded like he was AI. >> If you're tired of hearing the same old options, or you're looking for something that'll actually set you apart, stick around. This might just change your life. >> Now, this is the part that most people would just give up. But Zach kept on uploading videos. And then June 1st, it was 60. And then 149 on June 2nd. Then June 3rd, 293. June 4th 262. June 5th 255. June 6th 395. June 7th 559. Now around this point we were actually on vacation with each other in Mexico at a resort and we were with a bunch of Zach's friends and they were actually making fun of him for his first YouTube video. They were saying that it's super monotone and he sounded like a robot and they're basically just teasing him for thinking that he could be a YouTuber and actually make money from it. And then watch what happened. So June 8th 565. Then June 9th, 737. June 10th, 1,358. June 11th, 1,661. June 12th, 235. June 13th, 3,161. June 14th, 10,619 views. And then June 15th, 15,566 views. Uh June 16th, 15,123 views. June 17th, 12,252 views. June 18th, 8,17. Then 11,222 and then 25,948 33,797 26,37 30,81 39,368 46,8989 32,937 21,988 26,36 and then 33,446 and then 26,665. And much more important than the views, let's show the actual money. So on June 22nd, he finally gets monetized. Now, I'm actually in a different time zone, so it was actually June 21st, but June 22nd, he gets monetized. Then June 23rd, he makes $56 in his first day monetized. And then $153 June 24th, and then $214 on June 25th. And this was 29 days after starting his channel. So, if you do the run rate for this, this is over $78,000 a year from AdSense alone. These are the ads that pop up on your YouTube channel when you start a YouTube channel, and you get 55% of the revenue generated from that. And this is a $78,000 year run rate. So, he went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month. Now, why does this work so well? Well, it's because a first video works like a bag of popcorn, right? You hit start and for the first 90 seconds, you get nothing. Silence, right? All right, it's in the microwave. It's spinning around and it's doing nothing. But then one kernel pops and then another one. So it's like pop pop pop and then all of a sudden the whole bag goes off at once. So Zach's video wasn't really dead during that quiet week. The pops just hadn't started yet. But most people yank the bag out of the microwave during the silence and then they go tell everybody that the popcorn doesn't work. And so so many people will upload their first YouTube video and they'll get really discouraged because it's almost never going to get a lot of views right away. You know, many cases it'll get 20 views or maybe 50 if you're lucky and then it'll die down and you just need to keep uploading because those newer videos that you uploaded is kind of like applying more heat to the popcorn bag. And once one kernel pops, all of the rest of the kernels start popping. So, he had his very first video pop off and it got over 800,000 views in the first month. And so, this very first video absolutely blew up and it caused many other videos on his channel to blow up as well. And it got over 800,000 views. All right, YouTube just got 10 times easier and nobody is talking about it. You used to need an entire film crew. And it used to be a full-time job for you to just do any work at all on YouTube, but now you can get work done in as little as 15 to 30 minutes a day, and you can actually grow a full-time YouTube channel. That's exactly what I'm going to be talking about at the live training that we're doing this week. Exactly how to grow your YouTube channel. So, click the link in the description, the pin comment below to check that out, guys. I will be answering questions before, during, and after the live training. It's completely free. Plus, I'll be giving away an AI that is designed to help you pick your niche if you don't have one in the first place or if you already have a niche. It's going to help you make it 10 times better. So, really looking forward to talking with you guys. This is stuff that we never talked about before. So, click that link in the description below and I look forward to seeing you there. Now, like I said, if you're confused about what niche to go into or how to monetize or any of this stuff, I totally understand. There's going to be a stepbystep workshop where I tell you exactly how all of this works this week. Click that link in the description. should be the first link down there and I look forward to seeing you. And if you're watching this in the future, by the way, still click that link because we'll likely be having live trainings in the future and it'll put you on the wait list for those. Now, you might be thinking, Claude didn't do that, Shane. You did. You're the YouTube guy. And that's partly true. Zach had two unfair advantages, and I'm about to hand you both of them. Claude carried the workload, and I told him where to point it. But the advantage was never talent. It's knowledge. And knowledge is the one advantage that you can just take. And I give a bunch of free knowledge on this channel with the resources in the description with the live training. I literally answer questions for free. And a lot of people think that this is like the watered down stuff. Well, one of my community members, Isaiah, made about 20 grand in a single month literally just following the free advice on this channel, downloading the resources on this channel, and then showing up to my live trainings. Then after he'd made a bunch of money, he was able to quit his job. Then he actually joined our community. Now, while all of this was happening to Zach, while his channel was blowing up, he was getting lots of views. his comment section kept filling up with the same question over and over again, which is, "How do I actually get into the trade?" Right? People were super happy that he was helping them select the right trades, but they didn't know how to get in. And so, we did what most creators never do. We fed the whole comment section into Claude. And Claude spotted the pattern in seconds. They're not asking questions. They're telling you exactly what they want to buy. So, we added one thing, which is a course careers affiliate link. This is an online training platform that helps people get into careers and they have a bunch of trade courses on that platform. And so he started putting that link in the description and then later on other links in order to monetize from his videos. And this turned into a second income stream on the channel that's barely 3 weeks old. And remember the whole point of this video, get the traffic and every single way of making money starts working. AdSense was stream one. Then the comments handed us stream two. And one of our community members, Louise, ran this exact play. one referral link and one video and he made about two grand in 17 days. So, here's how you can do this. Screenshot this Claude prompt, then paste all your comments in. If you have the advanced version of Claude, it can actually just like audit your channel and go through the comments itself and then see what it spits out. Now, you might be thinking, Shane, this sounds like a second job. No, it's the opposite. Zach runs an HVAC business and does real estate on the side, and he's honestly busier than me. And so, all he had was about 30 minutes a day to work on this. So, we kept it stupid simple on purpose. Simple videos, simple edits, nothing cinematic. And even what we sell was very simplified as well. And his first video had bad lighting and flip phone energy. And it was still a massive hit. So, the polish isn't what gets watched. You answering people's questions are you solving people's problems is what actually gets watched and what actually ends up generating revenue. Now, one thing I want to say about this is I actually documented all of it on the channel while it was happening in real time, right? So, all the receipts are available on the channel. Everything was documented with real receipts in real time all the way from the beginning. And I'm going to show you what he was able to get to after posting on YouTube for a while here in a bit. But there's one question that probably pops into your mind, and that is, Shane, be honest. Was this luck? So, let's settle this right now. Was Zach just lucky? Well, one channel popping off proves that it happened, but it doesn't prove that it repeats, right? So, a good example of this is Don and Emily, two community members with an outdoors channel called On the Scout. Hunting, bushcraft, all of it. One video had popped early and then every follow-up flopped. Don said that every upload felt like a 15-hour gamble. So, they came to us because they'd had some success on YouTube, but they could not recreate it. And so, they went back to the video that already worked, and they doubled down on that type of video again. They rebuilt its packaging with the same system that you've watched all video. And they even reused old clips shot on a phone. And the next video pulled over a 100,000 views and thousands of new subscribers in 7 days. And the one after that got there even faster. So luck doesn't repeat on command. Systems do. And they did it twice in a row after trying to recreate the initial magic over and over again. So if outdoors still feels too close to the trades, well, Nathan coaches chess. He was monetized right away after joining the program. and then turned that traffic into a $1,000 a month offer and signed his first buyer. So, different niche, but same ladder. And look, our community is full of these people. Craig is a realtor near 70 years old, and he'd been posting on YouTube for 4 years before he joined our community. And just one of his videos after posting with us doubled his channel's lifetime views in 3 weeks. So, 3 weeks working with us, he got more views than four years in posting on his own. Nate teaches pool and he got monetized right away and started making money. Donald runs a sobriety channel. He got a 41,000 view video at barely 700 subs. Daniel's 45 and one upload using our system did a 100 times his channel's average. Neil coaches actors and he immediately made $5,000 from his first two buyers at 1,600 subscribers. And Cheryl had been posting on YouTube for years with under 50 subscribers. And then she became a YouTube partner in about 2 months, completely blew her channel up and actually started making money. And they're not special. They're just using the same playbook that you've been watching this whole video. Now, you might be thinking, "If it works, then why the hell teach it, Shane? Why don't you just keep all the secrets for yourself?" Well, because this video is me making money with YouTube, right? The machine works. So, I use the machine to show you the machine. And the wonderful thing about YouTube is yes, in the past when people found a way of making money, they would hoard the secrets to themselves. But with YouTube, you can actually make more money by teaching other people how to do the thing that you discovered to do than you could make on your own. And you might also be thinking, Shane, nobody hypes a tool like Claude this much unless it's paying them. Anthropic has never paid me a dime. Never has, not once. Not an affiliate deal, not a sponsorship, not a brand partnership. Up until the point of me recording this video, Anthropic, Claude, whatever you want to call it, has never paid me a dime. Now, a lot of the people making these videos are sponsored by the tool that they're hyping. So, you should watch out for that. But me, I love testing out these AI tools. In fact, I spend lots of money testing them out in ways that I don't even need to, but I just like to learn these things. And last month, for instance, I spent over $10,000 just on Claude alone because I test everything first before I tell you guys what to do. So, I'm not their influencer. I'm their customer. And I'm just telling you how I use them. Nobody pays me to say Claude. I actually pay them and I pay them a massive amount of money as well. Now, by the way, just a quick note here, you do not need to spend $10,000 a month with Claude. I do that because I use Cloud for all kinds of different systems and I test many different things out. Most of them lead to dead ends and then I only present the best information and the best stuff to you guys. So, let's answer the title straight. Did I make money with Cloud AI in 30 days? Well, no. I didn't make any money because all of the money went straight to Zach, but he made money through my guidance and my systems. And what I walked away with is the thing that I'd pay for first, which is proof that this transfers to a total beginner, even someone who's not tech-savvy, even someone who's in his 50s, and even somebody who has never made a social media video in his life. And a year later, well, he finished his first year on YouTube by making over $18,000 in a single month. Now, that took a year, not 30 days, but within 30 days, he made it to a full-time income when it comes to the run rate. and we'll see what his second year on YouTube has in store because he decided to sell his business and he's going to be spending more time on YouTube. Because remember, up to this point, he's only spent about four hours a week making YouTube videos. But the whole point is Zach didn't get lucky, he got found. And Claude is why one busy guy did the work of what would have taken five people just a few years ago. And I know half of you are already typing it. It's easy for him. He had you. Stop. Guys, Zach is 50, nearly 30 years in the trades, and his body was starting to feel every single one. And he had zero editing experience, zero audience. So, the gap between him and you isn't circumstance. It's that he pressed upload again and again for 30 days while you did research for the 10th time. When in reality, all you really need to do is attend my live training by clicking that link in the description, the pin comment below, and you're going to know more than enough to have success on YouTube after attending that. Now, Zach's first video blew up. Some people need five videos or 10 or 15 or over 20 videos before they have their first one blow up. But once that video blows up, it has that popcorn bag effect where previous videos typically blow up as well. And on top of that, you're going to double down on the winners. And so really, all you need is that one video to take off on your channel and you're pretty much set after that. Now, I know that 99% of you are going to watch my free content on YouTube. You're going to download the resources in the description in the pin comment below. You're going to attend my live training. Definitely attend that by clicking the link in the description, the pin comment below. and we are never going to end up working together. And that's completely fine. I always want to give at least 10 or 100 times more value than what I receive. But there's going to be 1% of you, maybe 0.1% of you out there that want a one-on-one mentorship experience, a one-on-one handholding experience, or you want us to literally just do the work for you. So, if that sounds like you, go ahead and click the second link in the description in the pin comment below to book a call. But only book this call if you're very serious about growing and making money on YouTube. We have very limited spots in the program. Right now, we're only accepting about five people. Historically, we have about a 18% acceptance rate just to book the call alone. So, we have way more people wanting to work with us than we can even work with. Right? So, the types of people we typically work with are going to be professionals with at least 10 years of experience or if you have less than that, people who are overachievers, right? Basically, people who have had experience, have wisdom, have problems that they've solved in the past they can help other people with. Right? Because that's what we do is we teach people how to make educational content where you're solving people's problems. But we also work with business owners that want to get more views, grow their brand, get more subscribers, uh, get more leads, get more sales, and make more revenue from YouTube. We also work with YouTubers who are getting a lot of views, but they're struggling with monetization. We also work with YouTubers who are crushing it, but they want to crush it even harder. And we also work with people who have large followings on other social media platforms, or maybe they have an audience because they published a book and they want to bring that audience over to YouTube because they know that YouTube is where the real money is at. So, if that sounds like you, click that second link in the description, the pin comment below, and we look forward to talking with you. But again, only if you're very serious about growing and making money on YouTube, treating it like a business, and getting started right away. With that being said, check out this video right here to see exactly how we helped nurse Jyn quit her nursing job and travel all around the United States in a camper van, all because of YouTube and make over $10,000 a month.
