How Starting YouTube Changed My Life (The First 4 Months) · The Spirit Nomad: Spiritual Awakening + Life Purpose

• 0:00
  Do you want to stop having to worry about money and feeling
• 0:03
  unfulfilled? Then I recommend you to become a
• 0:07
  YouTube. That's what changed the game for
• 0:10
  me. Being a YouTube.
• 0:11
  It's not about fast money, it's about freedom and building a
• 0:15
  life you actually want. If you never start, you'll stay
• 0:18
  stuck trading time for money, working for someone else's dream
• 0:21
  instead of your own. And if you've been following
• 0:23
  this channel for a while, you know that I've been doing
• 0:26
  YouTube for several years now. It's my full time income.
• 0:29
  I don't lie on a job and I only work a few hours per week and I
• 0:33
  think YouTube is the only business model where you can
• 0:36
  actually achieve that a four hour work week.
• 0:38
  And today specifically, I'm going into how the first four
• 0:42
  months as a YouTube so back in the days changed my life and
• 0:47
  will change yours as well, even if nobody's watching yet.
• 0:50
  And what I realized is the biggest obstacle.
• 0:53
  The reason why so many people quit YouTube so soon, is because
• 0:57
  they measure their success in views rather than the foundation
• 1:01
  they're building. So without further ado, here are
• 1:03
  three reasons why starting YouTube changed my life.
• 1:07
  Already in the first four months of doing YouTube, reason #1 is
• 1:11
  that I was finding my voice. I knew that it would take time
• 1:15
  to get views and money, but it felt so good to finally be
• 1:19
  stepping into my voice and really claiming to myself that
• 1:24
  what I have to say is important. It's important enough to be
• 1:28
  broadcasted to be showed to millions of people because the
• 1:32
  reason I procrastinated starting a YouTube channel for so long is
• 1:35
  because I thought that what I had to say wasn't interesting
• 1:38
  enough. That had been a core wound for
• 1:40
  me, that why would people care about my opinions not just
• 1:44
  online but in person. So it was this like self love
• 1:47
  thing that I did to honor myself stepping into this is who I am.
• 1:53
  These are my opinions. These are my truths and my
• 1:56
  wisdom deserves to be heard. And every creator starts
• 1:59
  awkward, but consistency builds confidence, and that's
• 2:02
  priceless. So film your videos, even if it
• 2:04
  feels messy, even if it doesn't feel perfect, because your voice
• 2:08
  gets stronger every time you share.
• 2:10
  Type in the comments to claim my voice matters.
• 2:13
  Benefit number 2 is building streams of income.
• 2:17
  So by the end of those four months, I started to make a
• 2:20
  little trickle of income. I don't think I was monetized on
• 2:23
  YouTube yet, but I had posted some affiliate links in my
• 2:27
  YouTube descriptions. This was by number means enough
• 2:30
  to replace my job at the time, but it was really cool to see
• 2:33
  that I could make money while I was sleeping.
• 2:36
  So I got that first taste of passive income and the
• 2:39
  realization that I don't have to trade my time for money to be
• 2:44
  abundant. And even though it wasn't much
• 2:45
  money then, just a little trickle, those videos are still
• 2:48
  making me money today over five years later.
• 2:51
  So it becomes like a snowball effect.
• 2:54
  The videos you create now will make you money years down the
• 2:57
  road. And I think YouTube is the only
• 3:00
  platform where your posts last for that long because so many
• 3:05
  platforms like TikTok and Instagram, the posts have a
• 3:08
  really short shelf life. So you have to keep producing
• 3:10
  content daily because the content you create today will
• 3:14
  not be pushed by the algorithm a month from now.
• 3:16
  So if you want passive income, YouTube is the platform view.
• 3:20
  So start with one affiliate link.
• 3:22
  Now what exactly is an affiliate link?
• 3:24
  It's a link where if somebody clicks on it and buys the
• 3:28
  product you recommend, you get a Commission of that sale.
• 3:31
  For example, if there's an online crystal shop that you
• 3:33
  really like and you recommend to people, like here is the place
• 3:37
  to buy crystals. And you if you sign up to their
• 3:39
  affiliate program and somebody buys a crystal through that
• 3:42
  link, you get a small Commission and you only really need one.
• 3:46
  So think about today, which affiliate link would you use?
• 3:50
  What's a product that you are really obsessed with that is in
• 3:53
  your niche? And if you want to learn exactly
• 3:55
  how to do affiliate marketing and create a product like an
• 3:59
  online course so you can monetize your YouTube channel
• 4:01
  and never needing a job, then learn my exact system that I
• 4:05
  share in the Nomad Freedom Academy link in the description
• 4:08
  for a free clarity call so you can see it's a good match for
• 4:11
  you and to get more guidance around your business and your
• 4:13
  niche. The third reason why YouTube has
• 4:15
  been life changing for me is freedom beyond money.
• 4:19
  When I went to school, it was always the question, which job
• 4:23
  are you getting? It was never will you be an
• 4:25
  entrepreneur? Will you have a job?
• 4:27
  Will you be a housewife? So early on I had that
• 4:30
  conditioning that OK, after this I need to get a job.
• 4:34
  So I thought, OK, the coolest, most fun job surely must be to
• 4:38
  work at Google, where they have slides and buffets and fun
• 4:42
  parties. And eventually I did manifest a
• 4:45
  job at Google. But I felt so miserable because
• 4:48
  I realized I'm just as trapped. I'm here in an open plan office.
• 4:52
  I have to ask for permission to go on a short vacation and I'm
• 4:56
  spending most of my days just inside an office helping
• 5:01
  somebody else's dream rather than following my own dream.
• 5:04
  So I quit after eight months and my goal was to become a digital
• 5:08
  nomad because I had just read the book The Four Hour Workweek
• 5:11
  by Tim Ferriss. And that's what I realized that
• 5:14
  I want a soft life where I'm not trading my time for money.
• 5:18
  I think the reason why people are so obsessed with money is
• 5:21
  because they want more freedom and happiness.
• 5:23
  So they will go after these high paying jobs like stock trader,
• 5:28
  like investment banker, Dr. lawyer, but when they get there,
• 5:32
  they get burned out. They don't actually have time to
• 5:34
  enjoy that money. And being a YouTube gave me that
• 5:38
  soft life. I started earning passive
• 5:40
  income. The more video I created, the
• 5:42
  more streams of passive income from ad revenue, from core
• 5:46
  sales, from affiliate marketing. So I was able to slowly see my
• 5:50
  soft life coming together. And now I only work 4 hours a
• 5:53
  week. It didn't start that way in the
• 5:55
  beginning. You have to put in the hard work
• 5:57
  in the beginning to build up a successful YouTube channel.
• 5:59
  But eventually step back more and more because your old videos
• 6:03
  are bringing in income. So my action item to you is to
• 6:06
  define your soft life vision. What would your days look like
• 6:10
  if money wasn't the main driver? Stop waiting for the perfect
• 6:13
  plan. And if you feel like you are not
• 6:15
  ready, not ready to start your YouTube channel but you will one
• 6:19
  day in the future. My advice to you is stop waiting
• 6:22
  because you will regret it. You will never feel truly ready.
• 6:25
  I started when I was freaking out.
• 6:27
  I had so much going on in my life.
• 6:29
  I was depressed and I just not confident on camera but I did it
• 6:33
  anyway and I posted consistently.
• 6:35
  Start creating your freedom now. Your future self will thank you.
