Can You Still Go From ZERO to YouTube Success in 2025? (reupload)



Can You Still Go Big on YouTube in 2025? The Truth About Shooting Your Shot

Ever wondered if it’s still possible to go from zero to massive success on YouTube? In this raw and honest video, I share my personal experience with a MacBook repair video that exploded from 2,000 to 100,000 views overnight after sitting dormant for six months. But here’s the truth bomb – those numbers don’t mean what you think they mean.

After landing in LA from Mexico (and heading back to Honolulu at 5 AM), I’m answering one of the most important questions I’ve received: Is explosive growth still possible for new creators? The answer is absolutely YES, but not in the way you might expect.

🎰 Here’s what you’ll discover in this video:

Why every video is like pulling the handle on a Vegas slot machine
My personal story of a video that now has 700,000 views (and made $8,000)
The REAL reason you should create content (hint: it’s not about the money)
Why YouTube ad revenue is “100% terrible” and what actually matters
The mindset shift that separates successful creators from dreamers

I’ve made 189 videos in a row (this is #190), and I would have done every single one for FREE. That’s the secret sauce – creating because you love it, not because you’re chasing overnight success.

The hard truth? You cannot win with videos still sitting on your hard drive. Every shot you don’t take is a guaranteed loss. But when you do shoot your shot, you’re not just playing the YouTube lottery – you’re potentially changing someone’s life, including your own.

Whether you’re a seasoned creator feeling stuck or someone who’s been hesitating to start, this video will give you the push you need. Remember: if you help enough people, it will help you. That’s the best way I can explain it.
