00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.532
We have been trained like give everybody everything and do not hope for a reward from anybody.

00:00:05.532 --> 00:00:07.304
But in the business world that's not how it works.

00:00:07.304 --> 00:00:08.185
It's not a kickback.

00:00:08.185 --> 00:00:12.108
It's not changing the way you would refer, because you would have referred this anyway.

00:00:12.108 --> 00:00:15.762
This is a business model that has been around since forever.

00:00:15.762 --> 00:00:17.425
It's not unethical.

00:00:18.969 --> 00:00:31.443
Hi docs, Welcome to the EntreMD podcast, where it's all about helping amazing physicians just like you embrace entrepreneurship so you can have the freedom to live life and practice medicine on your terms.

00:00:31.443 --> 00:00:33.289
I'm your host, Dr Una.

00:00:38.301 --> 00:00:42.951
It's not unusual to have people ask me in my world, like do I have to do content?

00:00:42.951 --> 00:00:44.462
Do I have to show up on social media?

00:00:44.462 --> 00:00:44.942
What is this?

00:00:44.942 --> 00:00:48.048
Dr Una is talking about a YouTube channel and all of that.

00:00:48.048 --> 00:01:00.857
And after they overcome that hurdle because I mean creating your own content, owning your own channel, whether that's YouTube, podcasts or a blog is one of the most transformational things you can do in your business.

00:01:00.857 --> 00:01:12.829
It falls in the category of not urgent, but important, and a lot of times, by the time people realize they need it, they're either really grateful they listened to me and they created it, or they're like, man, I wish I did this a long time ago, right.

00:01:12.829 --> 00:01:16.509
But after they overcome that initial hump, they're like okay, fine, I think I'll do this.

00:01:16.909 --> 00:01:19.224
The next thing that comes up is what is the point?

00:01:19.224 --> 00:01:19.465
Like?

00:01:19.465 --> 00:01:20.948
This is so much work?

00:01:20.948 --> 00:01:22.352
Where's the return on investment?

00:01:22.352 --> 00:01:25.903
Where's the return on investment?

00:01:25.903 --> 00:01:26.605
Where's the ROI and all of that?

00:01:26.605 --> 00:01:28.731
So today I am going to show you seven ways to monetize your content.

00:01:29.174 --> 00:01:42.183
Now, I'm going to say content in general, because this can apply to social media as well, but really, you know, I really want you to think of this in terms of your own HQ, which would be your own headquarters, which would be a YouTube channel, a podcast or a blog.

00:01:42.183 --> 00:01:45.893
Okay, can this create opportunities with social media?

00:01:45.893 --> 00:01:46.742
Absolutely.

00:01:46.742 --> 00:01:58.634
We literally just had a doctor in the EntreMD business school come in and say you know, a company reached out and paid me five figures to create three 60 second videos.

00:01:58.634 --> 00:01:59.724
I want you to think about that.

00:01:59.724 --> 00:02:02.956
And they did that based on her performance on Instagram.

00:02:02.956 --> 00:02:09.532
And she does not have a gazillion followers, she doesn't have any of that stuff, but this stuff works and it opens doors you won't know about.

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.131
But anyway, now to start off, one of the people that you know I follow on YouTube.

00:02:14.131 --> 00:02:17.689
His name is Myron and you know he runs an eight figure business.

00:02:17.689 --> 00:02:26.227
Okay, so what he does with YouTube is not a very significant part of his business portfolio, but he does it right, and so he started going in.

00:02:26.227 --> 00:02:29.293
You know, all in on YouTube, all in on the content strategy.

00:02:29.293 --> 00:02:35.024
Now, remember what I said this is an eight figure entrepreneur.

00:02:35.024 --> 00:02:35.566
So what do we do?

00:02:35.566 --> 00:02:39.121
We look at the things that the ultra successful do, we ask why they're doing it, and then we do it too right If we want the same outcome.

00:02:39.121 --> 00:02:41.967
So, anyway, he talks about one of his YouTube channels.

00:02:41.967 --> 00:02:49.520
I think he has three of them at this point, but one of them generates as much as $40,000 per month in revenue right Now.

00:02:49.602 --> 00:02:51.528
This is direct ad revenue.

00:02:51.528 --> 00:02:57.127
This does not include the number of people who sign up for his program because of his YouTube, does not include the number of people who buy his books.

00:02:57.127 --> 00:02:58.245
It doesn't include any of that stuff.

00:02:58.245 --> 00:03:00.046
This is just pure ad revenue.

00:03:00.046 --> 00:03:01.360
Why am I telling you this?

00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.942
Am I telling you you're going to create $40,000 every month?

00:03:03.942 --> 00:03:04.502
Probably not.

00:03:04.502 --> 00:03:08.843
I'm just trying to show you the potential For those of you listening to this on a podcast.

00:03:09.224 --> 00:03:15.367
Well, this podcast the Entremity podcast I've really enjoyed recording every single episode of it.

00:03:15.367 --> 00:03:20.129
We're almost at 500 episodes, if you could think about it, which is really crazy.

00:03:20.129 --> 00:03:24.852
In six months, we will hit our sixth year of podcasting.

00:03:24.852 --> 00:03:30.074
It has led to the transformation of the personal lives and businesses of thousands of physicians.

00:03:30.074 --> 00:03:32.195
It's just been such a phenomenal journey.

00:03:32.195 --> 00:03:43.954
It has also created millions of dollars for me in revenue and, because it is a full-time employee in my business, it gives me the opportunity to talk to people whenever they want to talk to me.

00:03:43.954 --> 00:03:48.450
It gives the opportunity for them to go back like hey, dr Una, this thing you said, can you say it again?

00:03:48.450 --> 00:03:50.526
Right, and I'm talking to them again.

00:03:50.526 --> 00:03:51.905
It doesn't have an attitude.

00:03:51.905 --> 00:03:57.670
It shows up for work every day, right, and it doesn't matter how many people want to listen to it, it can still deliver.

00:03:57.670 --> 00:03:57.951
Right?

00:03:57.951 --> 00:04:19.742
It's a scalable employee and when I interview them, when I'm listening to their stories, it's usually some version of I found Dr Una, I started binging on her podcast and after some people it's the next day, some people it's a few months, some people it's a year, some people it's a few years, which, if it's going to be a few years for you, let's just shorten it, right?

00:04:19.742 --> 00:04:29.095
Like, if you're thinking about the Entree in the Business School and you're like, man, I think that's where I want to be, come join us, because every last person who's joined has said man, I wish I did it sooner.

00:04:29.095 --> 00:04:30.641
I'm just letting you know, but anyway.

00:04:30.641 --> 00:04:34.771
And so this has created millions and millions in revenue for me.

00:04:34.771 --> 00:04:39.490
So it's given me an opportunity to serve at a very high level and it's given me an opportunity to earn.

00:04:39.771 --> 00:04:46.267
Okay, so I'm saying that to say can you monetize your content?

00:04:46.267 --> 00:04:46.790
Yes, it's a business asset.

00:04:46.790 --> 00:04:48.199
You can even think about it as a vertical in your business, right.

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.947
But I'm going to show you seven ways, okay, seven ways that you can do this.

00:04:52.947 --> 00:04:55.567
Now, it's very clear you don't have to do all seven.

00:04:55.567 --> 00:04:56.550
You can start with one.

00:04:56.550 --> 00:05:00.886
You can start with one that you can probably start leveraging right now or optimizing.

00:05:00.886 --> 00:05:04.189
Maybe you already do it in a way, but you can optimize it, starting right now.

00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:05.091
You can decide.

00:05:05.091 --> 00:05:12.821
You know, over the next five years I'm going to build out all seven, right?

00:05:12.821 --> 00:05:15.310
So it's not about doing all seven, it's about starting, it's about taking it to the next level.

00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:15.651
Okay, all right.

00:05:15.651 --> 00:05:17.358
So the very first way you can monetize your contents, right?

00:05:17.398 --> 00:05:20.803
So let's say, your YouTube channel, your podcast, is by offering your services.

00:05:20.803 --> 00:05:22.386
So it's through your services, right?

00:05:22.386 --> 00:05:26.310
This happens to be my favorite one for service-based businesses.

00:05:26.310 --> 00:05:33.790
And so let's say, you're a coach, you are a private practice owner, you host events, you're a consultant, any of those kinds of things.

00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:39.250
Your platform is a beautiful place for you to promote your own stuff, right?

00:05:39.250 --> 00:05:40.855
And so what does that look like?

00:05:40.855 --> 00:05:41.298
Now?

00:05:41.298 --> 00:05:45.571
Remember, on the previous episodes if you haven't listened to them, you know what you'll want to go.

00:05:45.571 --> 00:05:46.031
Listen to them.

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.286
Actually, the one right before this, we talked about how to recession-proof your business with certain types of content.

00:05:51.286 --> 00:05:56.387
I gave you three kinds of content you can use, and one of them is that it really needs to be relevant.

00:05:56.387 --> 00:05:57.651
Right, it needs to be relevant.

00:05:57.651 --> 00:06:00.201
It needs to speak to the problems people are having in real time.

00:06:00.201 --> 00:06:09.987
And so you create this podcast or this YouTube channel, this blog, where you're solving real problems that your audience has, your potential clients, your potential patients have.

00:06:09.987 --> 00:06:13.869
You're solving it in real time and then you're making them offers.

00:06:13.869 --> 00:06:21.754
Right, if this is helpful, come work with me here, come work with me as your coach, come work with me in my private practice, and you're doing that every single time.

00:06:21.754 --> 00:06:29.298
You're making some kind of offer, right, because when you do that, then you're giving people opportunities to say which is what happens with me?

00:06:29.298 --> 00:06:34.641
People are like, oh my goodness, if I could get all this stuff, all this happen from the free stuff.

00:06:34.641 --> 00:06:37.651
What will actually happen if I worked with this person?

00:06:37.651 --> 00:06:44.024
Right, because now you've created all this credibility because they know you're the person for the job, because you've been doing the job right?

00:06:44.024 --> 00:06:45.408
So that's the very first one.

00:06:45.588 --> 00:06:54.682
And when I talk about, you know, monetizing your content, it can easily be a seven figure vertical, right.

00:06:54.682 --> 00:06:55.504
And so let's do some math here.

00:06:55.504 --> 00:07:00.778
So let's say that you are a coach and you have a program and your program you charge $10,000 for the year.

00:07:00.778 --> 00:07:12.800
If, over the course of a year, your podcast or your YouTube channel gave you a hundred clients, that is a million dollars in revenue, right, and so we're talking about eight clients a month.

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.603
Could it do that?

00:07:13.603 --> 00:07:15.548
Yes, you're like, well, dr Una, I don't know.

00:07:15.548 --> 00:07:17.240
Okay, fine, what if it gives you four?

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:18.182
That's half a million.

00:07:18.182 --> 00:07:19.865
That is nothing to sneeze at.

00:07:19.865 --> 00:07:20.927
What if it gives you two?

00:07:20.927 --> 00:07:22.649
That's $250,000.

00:07:22.649 --> 00:07:24.973
That's nothing to sneeze at, right.

00:07:24.973 --> 00:07:25.795
So see what I'm saying.

00:07:25.795 --> 00:07:32.819
Like, you're already going to be creating this content anyway, right, and so we're just going to put in a few things to monetize it, okay.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.747
So let's say that you are a DPC doc.

00:07:36.747 --> 00:07:49.742
Okay, you have a direct primary care practice and your enrollment is $100 a month or $1,000 a year, okay, and so for each client that you get, right, that's $1,000 for the year.

00:07:49.742 --> 00:07:54.802
And that means, if you get 1,000 clients, right, then that's a million.

00:07:54.802 --> 00:07:56.156
You're like, I can't get that number.

00:07:56.156 --> 00:07:58.456
Okay, you get 500, that's half a million.

00:07:58.456 --> 00:08:01.999
Right, you get 250, that's 250,000.

00:08:01.999 --> 00:08:06.639
Like, just think about it that way, right, and so it can't be a seven figure vertical.

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:10.016
Yeah, it absolutely can, and it has been for many people, many people.

00:08:10.016 --> 00:08:10.478
Okay.

00:08:10.478 --> 00:08:12.057
So number one is your services.

00:08:12.057 --> 00:08:13.730
Number two is products.

00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:31.047
Okay, I was listening to Patrick Beck, david, and he was talking about this on his YouTube channel and he, in the year before I was listening to whatever video, that was the prior year they had sold 72,000 products from their merch store.

00:08:31.047 --> 00:08:36.931
Okay, so products we're talking about?

00:08:36.931 --> 00:08:38.423
It could be mugs, it could be mouse pads, it could be t-shirts, it could be hoodies, it could be like all kinds of stuff.

00:08:38.423 --> 00:08:39.466
Right, it could be t-shirts, it could be hoodies, it could be like all kinds of stuff.

00:08:39.466 --> 00:08:41.232
Right, it could be books.

00:08:41.232 --> 00:08:45.541
And they had done 72,000 units, right?

00:08:45.541 --> 00:08:54.884
So if you do math like me, if you're like on average, if that is $10, which is usually higher, if that's $10, that's $720,000.

00:08:54.884 --> 00:08:57.153
On average is $50.

00:08:57.153 --> 00:09:00.961
Now we're talking the talking, the millions.

00:09:01.380 --> 00:09:09.397
And again, if you're building the audience, you already have the watch hours, and I'll talk about watch hours in a bit and all of these things, you might as well monetize it.

00:09:09.397 --> 00:09:13.134
So, instance, I have a lot of quotable quotes and all of those things.

00:09:13.134 --> 00:09:24.518
And you guys know, I made my daughter, I made her the director, if you will, of the Entremdi merch division and she created all these t-shirts with, you know, like frogs, all day, every day.

00:09:24.518 --> 00:09:30.139
There's no imagination, police progress over perfection, all of these things that we say all the time.

00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:38.292
And she just made those into t-shirts, into hoodies, into, you know, mouse pads, tote bags, all of these things, and we saw them on our store.

00:09:38.292 --> 00:09:39.054
Right Now.

00:09:39.054 --> 00:09:46.552
She goes live every week in our Facebook group to promote them, but she could easily be doing that on a YouTube channel, doing that on a podcast.

00:09:46.633 --> 00:09:49.682
Okay, now, we'd really love for you to go check out the merch store.

00:09:49.682 --> 00:09:51.674
It's entremediecom forward slash merch.

00:09:51.674 --> 00:09:52.758
You can check it out.

00:09:52.758 --> 00:09:53.881
It'll make her super happy.

00:09:53.881 --> 00:09:57.333
You should get some orders in and all of that stuff, right, okay?

00:09:57.333 --> 00:09:59.876
So number one is services, number two, your products.

00:09:59.876 --> 00:10:02.139
Okay, and again, you can easily set that up.

00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:04.241
Number three would be sponsors.

00:10:04.581 --> 00:10:08.066
Okay, now, before I tell you about this one, I need to tell you a little bit of a story.

00:10:08.066 --> 00:10:16.634
Okay, so I was listening to Alex Hormozy interview Dave Ramsey.

00:10:16.634 --> 00:10:18.322
He was interviewing him about his business and they actually went into numbers.

00:10:18.322 --> 00:10:24.721
So Dave Ramsey talks a lot about personal finance and stuff for others, but rarely has the opportunity to talk as much about his business.

00:10:24.721 --> 00:10:25.913
It was very interesting.

00:10:25.913 --> 00:10:29.231
I was like, oh great, I get to see behind the scenes of his business and all of this stuff.

00:10:29.231 --> 00:10:34.852
And so while I'm listening to it, there's this segment that made like I saw it and I couldn't unsee it.

00:10:35.413 --> 00:10:45.605
So in his business, the year before Alex Hormozy I was about to say Dr Alex Hormozy, before he interviewed him, they had done 300 million in revenue.

00:10:45.605 --> 00:10:47.171
So let that sink for a little bit.

00:10:47.171 --> 00:10:49.696
300 million, okay.

00:10:49.696 --> 00:10:52.240
And I was like, wow, that's impressive.

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.711
I'm like, okay, he has all these streams.

00:10:53.711 --> 00:10:56.235
I wonder where most of the revenue came from.

00:10:56.235 --> 00:11:09.553
And during the interview he then says that 40% 40% of his revenue comes from vendors who advertise, you know, to his audience, advertise on his, you know, like, on his website, and all those things.

00:11:09.553 --> 00:11:10.957
So they preferred vendors.

00:11:10.957 --> 00:11:12.621
And I was like, wait what?

00:11:12.621 --> 00:11:18.038
I was like 40%, that's nuts, right.

00:11:18.038 --> 00:11:24.200
I think that comes to about 120 million from vendors, right, aka for you, from sponsors, right.

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.140
And so are you going to do 40% of 300 million?

00:11:28.140 --> 00:11:32.518
You know, maybe you're not going to right, that's 120 million, maybe you're not.

00:11:32.518 --> 00:11:35.037
But what if you did 120,000?

00:11:35.037 --> 00:11:36.380
What if you did a million?

00:11:36.380 --> 00:11:38.014
What if you did 50,000?

00:11:38.014 --> 00:11:42.013
What, right, but you're not going to do it, except you start doing it.

00:11:42.013 --> 00:11:53.576
So, anyway, sponsors and so that could be people who you know they want to talk to your audience they offer something that's different from what you offer and then they just pay you for you know, for a spot.

00:11:53.576 --> 00:11:59.537
They can pay you directly to have that ad played on your YouTube channel or your podcast or anything like that.

00:11:59.537 --> 00:12:02.846
You're not doing it, they're doing it right, like they just have an ad spot.

00:12:02.846 --> 00:12:05.355
So that's something that you can look into.

00:12:05.455 --> 00:12:07.322
The fourth way is through affiliates.

00:12:07.322 --> 00:12:11.575
Now, with affiliates, what that really is, think of it this way.

00:12:11.575 --> 00:12:13.278
There are a number of things that I use.

00:12:13.278 --> 00:12:16.174
So let's say that there is a service that I use.

00:12:16.174 --> 00:12:28.195
I use Buzzsprout for my podcast, that's my podcast host, and I've used it, you know, like, for almost six years, and I've used it for every podcast that I have, right, and so it's something I already use.

00:12:28.195 --> 00:12:29.539
It's something I will already refer.

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:42.798
Like, I just told you about Buzzsprout and I talk about them a lot, but for Buzzsprout, they have an affiliate program where, for anybody who's referred by me, they would give me $20 and they would give that person $20.

00:12:42.798 --> 00:12:52.955
They call it their refer, a friend program, right, and so an affiliate is kind of that way where I can recommend stuff that I do anyway and then I get a commission.

00:12:53.397 --> 00:13:01.962
Right Now, of course, we're going to do this in integrity, like I wouldn't come and necessarily be an affiliate for something I don't believe in or I wouldn't use or my clients haven't used or anything like that.

00:13:01.962 --> 00:13:09.605
But this is a whole model and there are people who run multiple six-figure businesses, multiple seven-figure businesses, and it's the affiliate model.

00:13:09.605 --> 00:13:13.659
Now let me say this, because we're doctors and we have all the well, what are the kickback rules and all of that?

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:21.854
Okay, so kickback stuff is what we do in medicine.

00:13:21.854 --> 00:13:22.836
It is a valid model in the business world.

00:13:22.836 --> 00:13:23.239
Okay, so it's not.

00:13:23.239 --> 00:13:24.423
It's not a kickback, like sometimes I want to keep.

00:13:24.423 --> 00:13:24.945
It's not a kickback, right.

00:13:24.945 --> 00:13:27.513
So I'm already talking about Buzzsprout a bunch.

00:13:27.513 --> 00:13:31.923
Then they might as well reward me, right, for what I say, so, anyway.

00:13:31.923 --> 00:13:34.754
So affiliates, right, okay, so that's one.

00:13:34.994 --> 00:13:47.582
If you have a lot of stuff you use on Amazon anyway and stuff, you can create a storefront on Amazon and put all those things there and when you recommend them you can say hey, you can go to my storefront, my Amazon store, and grab them.

00:13:47.582 --> 00:13:54.460
I get a commission, but it doesn't change the price to you and people can then purchase it from there and Amazon will give you a fee.

00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:58.961
Right Again, if you're going to do it anyway, then you might as well do it Okay.

00:13:58.961 --> 00:14:02.289
Right Again, if you're going to do it anyway, then you might as well do it OK.

00:14:02.289 --> 00:14:02.791
So that's number four.

00:14:02.811 --> 00:14:06.922
Number five is speaking, and yes, this could have been under services, but I like to put it separately because of the power of it.

00:14:06.922 --> 00:14:20.077
If you are somebody who you know, for instance, you have a YouTube channel they see you speaking on a virtual stage, right, a virtual solo stage and like OK, this person, they really know their stuff, they're really good at their content, they present really well.

00:14:20.077 --> 00:14:23.341
Let's invite this person to come be a speaker at our conference.

00:14:23.341 --> 00:14:27.025
Speaking opens opportunities for speaking, okay.

00:14:27.025 --> 00:14:33.339
And then, when you have that opportunity, there are two ways you can get paid.

00:14:33.339 --> 00:14:37.976
You can either get paid to speak or you can get paid because you offered your services on the stage where you went to speak.

00:14:38.090 --> 00:14:39.533
So let me use myself as an example.

00:14:39.533 --> 00:14:41.798
If I go to an event to speak.

00:14:41.798 --> 00:14:52.030
They may say, dr Una, come speak at this event, we'll pay you $10,000.

00:14:52.030 --> 00:14:53.393
That's the keynote model I'm paid, I do my thing and I leave.

00:14:53.393 --> 00:14:57.317
Or they can give me an opportunity to make an offer from the stage and so I can speak and then say I can talk about the profitable.

00:14:57.317 --> 00:15:03.004
So let me say I'm talking to a group of you know 500 private practice owners and I talk about you know seven ways.

00:15:03.004 --> 00:15:08.422
Doctors leave money on the table and how to fix it and then on the back end of it I say, hey, you know, I have this.

00:15:08.730 --> 00:15:15.152
We launched because of the amount of, you know, stress and failures that we're seeing within the private practice space.

00:15:15.152 --> 00:15:17.576
We launched a profitable private practice movement.

00:15:17.576 --> 00:15:27.721
It's a movement of people who have decided they're going to defy the status quo and they're going to build profitable private practices without sacrificing their you know, their families or their fitness and all of those things.

00:15:27.721 --> 00:15:35.953
And you can get, you can join us this moment for less than a cappuccino a day, right, because the movement is $197 a month.

00:15:35.953 --> 00:15:47.716
You can join for less than a cappuccino a day and go right here entremediacom forward slash movement and sign up for it and for everybody who signs up before this talk is over, you will get a bonus of XYZ.

00:15:47.716 --> 00:15:53.131
Now I could have 300 people sign up for it, so it's $2,000 a year.

00:15:53.131 --> 00:15:56.075
If 300 people sign up for it, that's 600,000.

00:15:56.075 --> 00:15:56.696
Do you see?

00:15:56.696 --> 00:15:59.419
And so that's a lot more than if I was paid as a keynote.

00:15:59.419 --> 00:16:07.697
So there are two ways you can get paid, but either way, your YouTube channel or your podcast, your blog, opens the door for these opportunities.

00:16:07.697 --> 00:16:09.461
Okay, all right, so that's speaking.

00:16:09.922 --> 00:16:11.211
Number six is brand deals.

00:16:11.211 --> 00:16:19.139
Now, brand deals is kind of like sponsorships, but it's a little different, because you're like the brand ambassador for it and you talk about it.

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:22.816
Maybe you make a deal with them that once a month, you will create this video.

00:16:22.816 --> 00:16:29.095
It could be 60 seconds long, it could actually be a short or it could be an ad within your podcast, but you're promoting it.

00:16:29.095 --> 00:16:35.011
You're telling your story of how you used it and how it changed your business or changed your life or whatever, and then they pay you for that.

00:16:35.011 --> 00:16:37.075
You can be paid really well for this.

00:16:37.075 --> 00:16:42.884
We had a doctor in the entre MD business school that, in less than 90 days, had already been paid six figures for his brand deals.

00:16:42.884 --> 00:16:44.390
So these are things that work.

00:16:44.711 --> 00:16:51.820
And again, you know we have been trained like give everybody everything and do not hope for a reward from anybody.

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:53.929
But in the business world that's not how it works.

00:16:53.929 --> 00:16:55.754
So please don't look at this as a kickback.

00:16:55.754 --> 00:16:56.696
It's not a kickback.

00:16:56.696 --> 00:17:00.844
It's not changing the way you would refer, because you would have referred this anyway.

00:17:00.844 --> 00:17:04.452
This is a business model that has been around since forever.

00:17:04.452 --> 00:17:06.153
It's not unethical.

00:17:06.655 --> 00:17:15.645
Okay, number seven and I put this as number seven because it's the icing on the cake, and I would really love for you to see it as icing on the cake and that is your ad revenue.

00:17:15.645 --> 00:17:18.401
Okay, so this is more so for YouTube.

00:17:18.401 --> 00:17:26.786
So, for YouTube, if you have a thousand subscribers and 4,000 watch hours within a 12 month period, then they will pay you for ads.

00:17:26.786 --> 00:17:28.518
Right, they'll pay you, so they put ads.

00:17:28.518 --> 00:17:29.141
I think it's a.

00:17:29.141 --> 00:17:34.560
You get 55% of whatever ad revenue comes in and they keep the rest and something like that.

00:17:34.560 --> 00:17:36.125
But you can make.

00:17:36.125 --> 00:17:38.858
You can make a significant amount of revenue.

00:17:38.858 --> 00:17:47.907
So when I was talking about Myron earlier, myron does for you know, like $40,000 a year, and this was, you know, I think these are last year's numbers, so it's probably higher by now.

00:17:47.907 --> 00:17:49.268
You know they do that much.

00:17:49.308 --> 00:17:49.828
There's a lady.

00:17:49.828 --> 00:18:03.603
I was watching her stuff and you know she had one video that did a million views and she got paid $45,000 for that one video, right, and that has nothing to do with the fact that video makes her other videos do well.

00:18:03.603 --> 00:18:05.863
So they create more ad revenue and all of those things.

00:18:05.863 --> 00:18:18.037
There are many, many, many people who do at least six figures in ad revenue every single year, and so this is something to consider.

00:18:18.037 --> 00:18:31.750
Now, with the ad revenue and many of the other models, right, what you must understand is, because this is a vertical that can create five, six, seven, multiple seven figures in revenue for you, like your HQ, right, your podcast, youtube or blog, because it can do that.

00:18:31.750 --> 00:18:35.358
Then you want to really be strategic about it, right.

00:18:35.358 --> 00:18:38.856
You want to be strategic about talking to a certain group of people.

00:18:38.856 --> 00:18:44.518
You want to be strategic about solving their problems so they come back and they tell other people to come back.

00:18:44.518 --> 00:18:49.999
You want to do it in such a way that it's bingeable, like people come and listen to one and it's over and over and again.

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:51.803
I had somebody list, you know.

00:18:51.803 --> 00:18:59.896
We interviewed her, dr Oluyemisi, on the, you know, when we were doing a live workshop and she made a statement that made me go like wow, like I've known this stuff.

00:18:59.896 --> 00:19:01.260
But she's like you know I.

00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:03.267
You know I was struggling in private practice.

00:19:03.267 --> 00:19:08.202
I saw this other person who said you know, I just launched my private practice on cash pay.

00:19:08.202 --> 00:19:10.507
I've been profitable, you know, from day one.

00:19:10.507 --> 00:19:11.950
And she's like who is this person?

00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:12.130
Like?

00:19:12.130 --> 00:19:12.611
How are you?

00:19:12.611 --> 00:19:16.921
And then she mentioned that she had a coach that she worked with that made it possible and all of those things.

00:19:16.921 --> 00:19:20.135
And she reached out to her like you know who is this person, Right?

00:19:20.135 --> 00:19:22.117
And she says you know, it's Dr Una.

00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:22.659
It was funny.

00:19:22.659 --> 00:19:23.539
She's like Dr Una.

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:28.424
She's like you know, like Dr know about Nigerians, right.

00:19:28.845 --> 00:19:35.791
But anyway, then she finds the podcast and she starts listening to it and she says I listened to that podcast for almost 72 hours straight.

00:19:35.791 --> 00:19:41.384
Like, of course I'm sure she slept and did all the other things, but 72 hours straight.

00:19:41.384 --> 00:19:44.721
So the question becomes if somebody wants to listen to you 72 hours straight, do you have stuff for them to do that with?

00:19:44.721 --> 00:19:46.782
You have to have stuff to do that with.

00:19:46.782 --> 00:19:49.305
Now she's been a doctor in the entrepreneur business school.

00:19:49.305 --> 00:19:50.226
I think she's going on.

00:19:50.226 --> 00:19:51.807
She might be going on her fourth year.

00:19:51.807 --> 00:19:55.010
Right, she's been in the entrepreneur business school for four years and she's been killing it.

00:19:55.010 --> 00:19:56.592
So many amazing things have happened.

00:19:56.592 --> 00:19:58.077
Revenue is so much better.

00:19:58.077 --> 00:20:06.740
She got accredited by Jayco, she has a mayor coming out for her open house, she has celebrities as patients, like all kinds of amazing things happening.

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:08.121
You know so many wins.

00:20:08.560 --> 00:20:11.743
And then right, and then we've had a client that we've had for a long time.

00:20:11.743 --> 00:20:18.691
Right, so you want to create stuff that's relevant, that's bingeable, that's shareable, that people will say, oh my goodness, this changed me.

00:20:18.691 --> 00:20:19.490
Go listen to this.

00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:28.020
And while you're at it, I'll say if this has been good for you, then please share it.

00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:31.689
Right, because we want doctors to understand you can have these platforms, you can have these HQs and you can crush it.

00:20:31.689 --> 00:20:33.271
Platforms you can have these HQs and you can crush it.

00:20:33.271 --> 00:20:36.276
Right, whether you're employed or not, it doesn't matter.

00:20:36.276 --> 00:20:36.958
This is available to everyone.

00:20:36.958 --> 00:20:38.842
Anyway, you want to have that and you want it to be growing.

00:20:38.842 --> 00:20:43.078
You want your audience growing, right, because it's the audience that puts you in a position to monetize.

00:20:43.078 --> 00:20:45.586
Right, to monetize in these different ways that I've spoken.

00:20:45.694 --> 00:20:48.864
So, what I want you to do, right, what I want you to do with this.

00:20:48.864 --> 00:20:56.680
I want you to think what if this could be a seven figure vertical for me?

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.426
If it would be a seven figure vertical for me, how would I treat it differently?

00:20:58.426 --> 00:20:59.511
And I want you to start doing that immediately.

00:20:59.511 --> 00:21:03.038
I want you to no longer see YouTube you know, podcast blog as a chore.

00:21:03.038 --> 00:21:06.282
I don't want you to see it as something that, oh my goodness, I have to do this.

00:21:06.282 --> 00:21:08.164
I want you to see it as something you get to do.

00:21:08.164 --> 00:21:11.730
I want you to say, oh my goodness, like back in the day, could I have my own TV station?

00:21:11.730 --> 00:21:12.471
Absolutely not.

00:21:12.471 --> 00:21:15.664
But now I can have my own TV station, because that's what this is.

00:21:15.664 --> 00:21:17.118
You can have your own TV station.

00:21:17.118 --> 00:21:18.482
You can have your own radio station.

00:21:18.482 --> 00:21:33.503
You can have your own newspaper company and all of that stuff and oh my well, maybe I shouldn't use newspaper, right, because it's almost extinct, but it's just the intentionality to start building it.

00:21:33.584 --> 00:21:35.733
So if it could be seven figures, what would you do?

00:21:35.733 --> 00:21:36.316
Would you start it?

00:21:36.316 --> 00:21:37.118
Would you relaunch it?

00:21:37.118 --> 00:21:38.383
Would you start telling people about it?

00:21:38.383 --> 00:21:40.377
Would you be more intentional about your content?
