Hey, if you want to start or grow a YouTube channel in 2026, we've got a brand new resource

you need to know about. Starting YouTube can feel overwhelming, what camera to use, what niche to pick,

what to post first, and most people quit before they even get started. That's why we created

the YouTube Creator Toolkit. It's your quick start system to go from confused to confident fast.

And for a limited time, you can save big during our holiday sale at thinkmediasale.com.

You'll start with niche finder to get total clarity on what kind of channel you should build.

Then you'll use the AI powered video topic generator so you never run out of video ideas.

Plug those into Think Media's AI title system tool to craft titles that get clicks and finish with thumbnail templates and trainings so your content actually stands out.

And we've even included a ticket to our Think Media Strategy briefing that's happening right at the start of January to help you lock in your entire growth plan for 2026. It's incredible. And the crazy part is during our limited holiday sale, you can get the YouTube creator toolkit for less than the

price of a trip to Chipotle. Just go to thinkmedia sale.com to take advantage of this special

offer before it expires. Okay, let's jump into the podcast. With over 20 million videos being

uploaded to YouTube every single day, the sheer volume of content on the platform is posing a massive threat to any creator and any creator's business.

You're not going to win by posting without a plan. You need a system.

Before you launch out and start making videos, what are you even doing? Who is your content for? What problem

does your channel solve? What makes you different? Most people will quit. Most people will give up.

You can bet on that. I'm going to press record, do it anyway, post it anyway, and get through those

early, cringy videos.

Today we're going to unpack and share publicly our core system, the proprietary process of our

video ranking academy that Sean has used for over a decade to help content creators grow their views,

grow their subscribers, and their income. And Sean, this system really, like, it's been updated

recently in light of all the disruptions, in light of all the challenges and changes with YouTube. And so I'm excited because we're really going to share from the front lines here exactly what's going on in the system, how we've updated it, and the exact steps that someone who's getting after YouTube or restarting YouTube could go through today. I'd love to just jump in right to the first step here.

So there's a series of steps we need to go through the very first thing that we do.
