Expert advises YouTuber on scalingfrom @hormozi
[01]
Overview
The speaker listens to a successful travel/food YouTuber who asks how to increase revenue while working less. After learning the YouTuber's revenue and profit margins, the speaker provides a direct solution: to hire a high-level, expensive YouTube strategist from a larger, similar channel to take over strategic planning, thereby freeing up the creator's time even if it slightly reduces net profit.

HOW DO I MAKE MORE REVENUE WITH LESS TIME?
Transcript
I am a YouTuber. I make travel food videos around the world. Sweet. Revenue last year was 4,300,000. What's profit? Over 70%. Love it. What do you wanna have happen? What's the goal? I would like to make more revenue, but also just have my company run more efficiently no I'm not always the bottleneck for everything. So it sounds like you just need a YouTube strategist that you'd head hunt from somebody else's channel that you'd be able to pay more because you can because you have the cash flow to do it, and that would probably take 50% or more of your workload off your plate. You would technically make less money because you paid one more worse, but I think you could make 3.15 instead of 3.3 and probably, like, live a happier life. Sure. You probably need a high leverage person who's very good. So I'd be looking at, like, a $200,000 a year plus person who's who has experience building a channel probably in the travel niche similar to yours that's probably bigger You want somebody that you can really that should be your intellectual equal or superior in this domain. Mhmm. And if you feel like this person is not better than you at this, you should not hire them. Good rank.
