1k+ day free advice, anyone can do it (probably)

Firstly, it's important to understand that the "cash cow" method is just one of many ways to make money on YouTube, and its effectiveness can depend on a variety of factors such as the niche you choose, the quality of your content, and your ability to promote your videos.

Secondly, it's worth noting that success on YouTube (or any other platform) requires a significant amount of time, effort, and dedication. Building a loyal audience and generating revenue from your content can take months or even years, so it's important to be patient and persistent.

That being said, there are many examples of people who have built successful YouTube channels using the "cash cow" method or other similar strategies. If you're interested in pursuing this approach, it's important to do your research, learn from other successful creators, and be willing to invest time and money in creating high-quality content and promoting your channel.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a YouTube cash cow channel or any other method of making money is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and goals. If you're concerned about the financial risk, it might be a good idea to start small, experiment with different strategies, and see what works best for you.

I couldn't agree more. Every time someone asks me for advice, I tell them JUST to DO SOMETHING. Anything!!!

Many studies show "learning by teaching" is the best way to retain information. That means I will learn 1000% more if I sit down and try to build a PBN myself versus watching a youtube video titled "How to create a pbn."

This method also gives you something in return if done correctly.
- I mean, when I scaled my first Etsy account to 10k/month, I was also publishing content on how others can do that.
- When I blew up my first IG page and started buying/selling meme accounts, I created content on how others can do that.
- When I spent 2 years on tour across America attending music festivals, I created content on how others could do that.
- My youtube is me making videos on "how to do" things as I learn them MYSELF.

People get too much in their heads. They run 1000s of "what ifs" around up there instead of trying. For some its a fear of failure. For others it's a fear of the unknown.... But fuck all that. The BEST way to get ahead is to try everything. You cannot be fearful of things in which you do not know.

Probably try a course or ebook

Exactly bro. You can click on one of the thousands of guides on BHW for an example. Skip to like pages 10-12. You'll find people who ask irrelevant questions that have already been answered. But they just didn't read. On top of that, not knowing that one little detail will be what they attribute to their failure.

For example, if you go to the massive Free Stream site guide, I GUARANTEE that someone in the comments never started their journey because of something stupid, like "OP not telling them what proxy he used." Like bruh, google 'proxy.'

I firmly believe a lack of knowledge, in most cases, is just a pathetic and lazy excuse to not try something. (Obviously, there are the outliers, such as a surgical procedure or something... But taking health/risk out of the equation.)

I would rather someone say "I don't see myself enjoying trying that." versus bitching and crying that they didn't have enough information spoon-fed to them for them to succeed. We are in 2023, if you want to learn something, you WILL find the answers.

While it is true that "learning by teaching" can be an effective way to retain information, it is important to note that it may not work for everyone.

Some people may have a better learning style that involves watching videos or reading articles to learn new information.

Additionally, simply trying something without proper preparation or knowledge can lead to mistakes, wasted time, and potential harm.

There are studies that suggest that simply trying everything without proper preparation can be detrimental.

For example, a study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that students who engaged in unguided trial-and-error learning performed worse on subsequent tests compared to students who received guided instruction.

Another study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that individuals who engage in too much experimentation may be more likely to experience negative emotions, such as anxiety and regret.

Furthermore, encouraging individuals to "just do something" without addressing underlying fears or concerns may not be effective.

For individuals who have a fear of failure or the unknown, it may be more beneficial to address these fears through cognitive-behavioral therapy or other interventions before encouraging them to try new things.

In conclusion, while "learning by teaching" and trying new things can be effective for some individuals, it is important to consider individual learning styles and address any underlying fears or concerns before diving into new experiences.

Encouraging blind experimentation without proper preparation or knowledge may not be the best approach for everyone.

Sorry, when I said best, I didn't mean it's the 'correct way' to learn. But it is the best way to retain the information you have learned. Everyone learns differently. I just mean that it's proven that, statistically, you will have a better understanding of something if you can teach it to others. It's kind of the 'next step' to where you mention learning via watching videos! Here is from another study:

To summarize the numbers (which sometimes get cited differently), learners retain approximately:
90% of what they learn when they teach someone else/use immediately.
75% of what they learn when they practice what they learned.
50% of what they learn when engaged in a group discussion.
30% of what they learn when they see a demonstration.
20% of what they learn from audio-visual.
10% of what they learn when they've learned from reading.
5% of what they learn when they've learned from lectures.


Yes, this is very important to note! No one should be trying things without knowing what they are trying.... Anyone who tries new things without knowing the potential consequences is just waiting for disaster. I appreciate this addition as that's not really what I wanted people to take away by me saying, "I learn better sitting down and doing something versus watching a youtube video on the topic." I think people should absolutely try as many things as they can until they find something they are passionate about or that works. However, if they aren't even aware of the consequences, they must check that. That is actually a primary symptom of Antisocial Personality Disorder. (A disregard for consequences.)


Agreed!! Nothing in life is going to have one firm perfect answer for everyone. I'm so sorry if my comment made it seem that way. Absolutely the person who tries 1,000 different things and half-asses all of them will get way less far than the person who tries six things, finds one they enjoy, and goes full blast on that.


May I ask if this reflects your opinion, or was it just a gpt prompt to "respond as devils advocate to ___"? I hope that doesn't offend you, I don't mean that rudely, I'm just genuinely curious! But I know some people get touchy when mentioning use of AI :/ Its brought good points and necessary warnings to the conversation. And for me, I care most about seeing "all aspects" of a view. Genuinely appreciative about this; it has given me a great idea to do something similar to help avoid bias in the lectures I create for the Harbert school of business.View attachment 252455

I have been a lurker on BHW for 3 years and never took any serious action. Recently I’ve been interested in starting a YouTube cash cow channel. But of course I’m having fear of no success and waste of money because I’m broke as a joke…is cash cow method still working?

A great reminder for many people losing time and energy in order to find the perfect spot or plan,
Making a plan, not rushing things, adjusting things and taking time to make the research is very important,
But none of them will make sense if you want to perfect each and not taking the actual actions,
Success is hit and miss since the very beginning of humanity, it's simply how it works,
After all, even when you fail, you'll be gaining experience and you'll have much greater chance to succeed within the next try,
It's the most important "gain" and asset that someone should invest into,
Great post & reminder op, may it be the inspiration for someone stuck over there

Because... okay I will tell you my story...

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a magical talking fish named Willyfish. He loved to swim and explore the vast ocean, and he also had a talent for giving wise advice to those who sought his help.

One day, a curious little fish approached Willyfish and asked him, "How come you always sound so wise and knowledgeable, like ChatGPT?"

Willyfish swam around in a circle, flapping his fins in excitement. "Well, my dear friend," he said, "it's because I have spent my entire life swimming in these waters, observing and learning from all the creatures around me. And because I am a talking fish, I have a unique perspective on the world that allows me to offer helpful advice."

The little fish listened intently, her eyes widening with wonder. "That's amazing, Willyfish!" she exclaimed. "I wish I could be as wise as you."
Willyfish chuckled. "Well, you don't need to be a talking fish to be wise, my friend. Just keep exploring and learning from the world around you, and you'll find that wisdom will come naturally."

The little fish nodded thoughtfully and swam away, her mind buzzing with newfound inspiration. And as for Willyfish, he continued to swim and share his wisdom with all the creatures of the sea, always happy to help those in need.

You said it dear. My blog on "Health" is all about what "I" learned, in various form factors, situations, hearsay and the nuggets which I know, no other has. I am just gathering my notes, polishing my language and ... It may be a saturated/difficult niche but not so for my topics.
