How, with a day job?

You build systems. That’s the secret.

Walk into any McDonald’s, anywhere in the world, and you get the same product — because they systemised the living daylights out of the business. Systems provide leverage, and leverage is how you increase output while saving time. In the Academy you build systems for:

• Generating ideas
• Titles & thumbnails that get clicked
• Scripting, filming & editing
• Publishing & repurposing
• Knowing what will perform well
• Analytics without obsessing
• Expanding, outsourcing & monetising

The Academy condenses 9 years of YouTube experience into an immersive, self-paced course.

Niche Discovery Framework

Figure out your niche and what to make videos about, so you’re not wasting time on content that won’t work long-term.

Perfect Packaging Process

A step-by-step framework — best practices, templates and tools — for compelling titles and thumbnails, fast.

HIVES Framework

Structure and script videos without reinventing the wheel every time you sit down to write.

Infinite Content Engine

Your next 3–6 months of content planned out, so output survives long after the course ends.

Idea Generation Machine

Generate ideas on demand — and know which have a higher chance of growing the channel before you film.

Outsourcing Almanack

Job descriptions and a step-by-step guide to finding an editor who edits in your style — saving 10+ hours a week.
