01:30 - 02:00 go back to it cuz I don't know what what they was carrying down there in Jamaica bro but them mosquito bites sting i'm not going to lie but without further ado we about to get straight into it not only am I going to break down my stepbystep proven system I'm going to give you the exact methods and the exact ways and my exact for framework and formula and when I did it on my main YouTube channel that's what I'm going to be referring to this whole video so if you if you came from my main channel or you ever seen my main channel you
02:00 - 02:30 probably going to know exactly what I'm talking about but if you haven't it's okay cuz you going to understand it i'm going to give you a great picture a great depiction let's get into it so number one is going to be finding your niche but how I like to tell people how I tell um my guys in my academy my guys and girls in my academy all the time is when formulating a niche I need you to do an assignment i need everybody to go grab a piece of paper go to your notes do something cuz we going to do an assignment together and this assignment is basically going to be skills likes
02:30 - 03:00 interest whatever you are interested in i need you to write down 10 things on that piece of paper if y'all know me you know I keep a handy dandy journal on your journal on your notebook on whatever it is bro write down 1 2 3 4 all the way down to 10 and write down things that you enjoy doing for you this could be anything from playing basketball to painting artwork to drawing to doing back flips it doesn't matter bro everybody has interest everybody has something that they like
03:00 - 03:30 it could be watching sports watching NBA sports betting bro whatever you like write down from one through 10 on why you like it and let me tell you why so a lot of people talk about niche ab I can't find my niche how do I find my niche where you get your niche from niche niche niche your niche should be something that you are interested in because that is the cheat code i talked to tons of YouTubers you feel me i've helped tons of YouTubers and one thing that I know for a fact gets you over the
03:30 - 04:00 hump the easiest way possible the most efficient way possible is if the content you are producing is something that you enjoy doing let me say that again the content that you are producing is something that you genuinely enjoy doing you feel me and the reason for this we going to get into it um on the next one and the just just be Hey Pete Gang number four is going to be the one that's going to tie everything in together we only on number one right now but having a certain set of things that
04:00 - 04:30 you like a 1 through 10 list damn I'm scratching a 1 through 10 list of things you like it's just going to give you uh a sheet of paper to go back on on like you will never run out of video ideas you feel me say number one you got painting number two you got basketball on Monday you make a painting video on Tuesday you make a hooping video bro you got a lot of interest you got stuff that you're interested in if you don't know what you're interested in ask one of your friends they going to tell you ask your mom ask your dad ask somebody whatever you do just get this list filled out 1 2 3 4 all the way down to 10 you feel me for me if you go back to
04:30 - 05:00 my early YouTube days on my main channel you will see skits you will see pranks you will see freestyle videos you will see cooking videos you will see a lot of basketball content you will see talking to girls all of these things are things that I'm interested in all of these things are things that I enjoy doing all of these things are things that I would do without the camera even being there so the fact that I was putting it on camera it made it so easy to be consistent and that's going to be rule
05:00 - 05:30 number not yet that's going to be rule number two rule number two is once you got your 10 things once you know what you are interested in which you should know cuz it's you once you got those two things you want to do my spaghetti on the wall method ab what does spaghetti on the wall mean spaghetti on the wall basically means bro throw things at the wall throw content at the wall until something sticks if you guys never cook spaghetti in the black household I don't know if everybody do this my mama taught me how to do this so every time I cook
05:30 - 06:00 spaghetti this what I do in order to see if the noodles done I throw the spaghetti on the wall if the noodle if the noodle isn't ready the noodle will fall off the wall if the noodle is ready the noodle will stick to the wall so basically this concept means when you throwing spaghetti on the wall that's your content that's your ideas that's your topics that's your interest everything that you do oh basketball throw it at the wall and when I say throw it at the wall I mean post it basketball throw it at the wall talking to girls throw it at the wall that's what I was doing um mukbangs throw it at
06:00 - 06:30 the wall rapping videos throw it at the wall vlogs throw it at the wall dancing throw it at the wall skits throw it at the wall all of this is just my spaghetti bro i'm throwing my spaghetti at the wall i'm throwing my spaghetti at the wall and then all of a sudden all of a sudden something stuck to the wall you feel me something stuck to the wall but before st something sticks to the wall you have to do step number three step number three is post every single day a lot of people I'm about to lose them right now i'm about to lose a lot of people right now i said post every day
06:30 - 07:00 and they like "Whoa AB I ain't know I was going to have to grind." What the [ __ ] you thought bro you know a lot of people be thinking this [ __ ] is easy a lot of people thinking this [ __ ] is like cake work which you can get it to cake work but if you expecting cake work you might as well walk the [ __ ] out the door bro you know what I mean if it was easy bro everybody would do it if it was easy everybody would be successful if it was easy it [ __ ] wouldn't even be worth it no more bro i always tell people it's simple it's not easy it's simple i could
07:00 - 07:30 tell you this one two three four this is the exact framework that took me to where I was in YouTube took me where I am on YouTube took me where I'm going on YouTube but it's not easy because blood sweat and Hey what what little baby said blood sweat and tears came with this check this [ __ ] nowhere near easy you feel me it's very simple but it's not easy and posting every day is something that you would just have to do bro in my opinion you know what I mean i know there's a lot of a lot of different examples of people who didn't post every
07:30 - 08:00 day and got extremely successful but in my opinion in my framework in my um in my years and years of doing YouTube every one of my channels that I eventually blew up bro I was posting every single day posting every single day for a multitude of reasons for reason number one is you get that consistent muscle about yourself bro in order to be consistent on YouTube you got to prove it to yourself you got to prove it to your audience you got to go every day to get that consistent muscle to figure out what to what to how to do YouTube in the first place you feel me
08:00 - 08:30 if you posting a video every day if you dropping something every day you start to figure out what's going on you start to figure out oh this this works like this that works like this i'm constantly getting better every video oh so many breakthroughs start to happen when you posting every day think of it like this bro in six months from now six months from right now it will be 180 days that passed right you can be one or two people you could be person number one that dropped a video every day or you could be person number two that dropped zero
08:30 - 09:00 videos person number one just dropped 180 videos and he only needed one of those videos to go viral and now his life has changed forever you feel me a million views is over $10,000 on YouTube he got 180 videos he got 180 chances to go viral and hit a million views and make $10,000 in one video not one month one video not one day one video one video is different from one day because one video once you hit $10,000 it
09:00 - 09:30 doesn't stop it keeps going it keeps growing you feel me my vi my most viral video on my main channel right now that was my one video that made it out still gets money to this day you know what I mean so the fact that you can do that with YouTube and like I said 6 months from now it's going to pass regardless whether you post or not bro whether you post a video or whether you just keep watching these videos it's going to pass regardless but you posting a video gives you a chance to go viral it gives you a chance to have your lucky day everybody have lucky days bro but some people just
09:30 - 10:00 don't show up to them you got to show up every single day so you can have your lucky day so you can have your lucky break and that is what posting every day does also posting every day gives you a sense of oh I do this you feel me and I let me let me explain i seen a lot of people when I was coming up on YouTube they had a viral video quicker than me and I'm so thankful that I did not have a viral video quick it took me over 200 videos to go viral i'm so thankful for that because the people that I seen that had a viral video early on they took it for granted and they thought that that
10:00 - 10:30 was the norm when in all act when in all actuality it was the exception you feel me it was the exception to go viral but they did it so fast that once they did it and they did it again and the third time they posted and it didn't happen the [ __ ] world was over for them bro when I was doing it I was dropping one video two video three video four video them shits weren't doing nothing you know what I mean and the fact of rule number one is having something that you enjoy i was enjoying the process i was
10:30 - 11:00 enjoying actually doing it i was enjoying the the vid everything that I was doing i was enjoying it bro i was making videos with my girlfriend back then we switching clothes and I was enjoying it i was having fun you know what I'm saying she getting off work i'm just got my new Nissan i'm pulling up on her in my new Nissan blasting music her twin i'm having fun you see what I'm saying so you just got to enjoy what you doing because eventually those reps going to stack those reps going to stack and it's going to become guess what a habit and once something is a habit bro
11:00 - 11:30 it's going to be harder to not do it than to actually do it cuz look eventually you going to have that one video bro and once that one video blow up and you got the the the war chest of other videos and most importantly you got the war chest the war chest of doing it consistently that discipline that muscle that consistency of doing something continuously and continuously once you pop bro why would you stop you know what I mean i remember when I um in 2020 when my videos first started going
11:30 - 12:00 viral I walked up to somebody in the mall he had more subscribers than me he said "Bro how you post a video every day bro?" I said "Shit when nobody watching I when nobody was watching me I was doing it why would I stop now?" That's what I told him bro you feel me so you build up that muscle of doing it you know what I mean that's why I tell people "You would rather not do it now not blow up now and just go through the motions then blow up now and think that that [ __ ] is how it's supposed to be forever you ain't going to be able to appreciate it it's like lottery winners bro if somebody win a lottery they
12:00 - 12:30 probably going to go broke versus if somebody grinded their way grinded scraped and scrapped to a million dollars they going to have the knowledge to go with that million dollars bro but if you give somebody random a million dollars they going to blow it you know and the same way as with content the same way as with blowing up you want to build up to that person you know what I mean and that's where the the um the self-development things come in you know what I'm saying the reading the meditating the waking up early the structuring your life y'all be thinking that [ __ ] a fluke bro that [ __ ] real life that [ __ ] put mental Bro that [ __ ]
12:30 - 13:00 real you know what I mean that's why I preach that all the time because self-help will help you out with your business with your YouTube channel but that's a topic for a whole another day let me get into number four before we get into number four let's break down one through three cuz like I told y'all number four is going to be the thing that explode y'all so number one was find your niche and your niche should be something that you enjoy number two should be throw spaghetti at the wall
13:00 - 13:30 with everything that you like to do so basketball football tennis lacrosse chess painting drawing writing [ __ ] scriptures you know what I mean um posting about Gatorade no I don't I don't know bro it don't matter whatever bro throw it at the wall and see what sticks post daily post daily post every day throwing it at the wall that's number three and number four I kind of alluded to it when I said see what sticks but you got to see which
13:30 - 14:00 spaghetti strands stick to the wall what do I mean by that basically when you throw the spaghetti a lot of it is going to fall off meaning a lot of it is going to it's it's not going to get the views that you wanted or people not going to um really people not going to draw liking to it but some of them spaghetti strands when you keep going and when you keep going consistent they going to stay on that wall and they going to stay on that wall in the phrase of in the terms of people going to watch them people going to like them people going to request those type of videos more those videos is on the wall that spaghetti is on the wall and you got to pay attention
14:00 - 14:30 to that you feel me what your job is to do now on step number four is to oh that spaghetti stuck let me do that let me run with that let me revamp and refine that let me do a better job on posting more of that and now you blew your YouTube channel up man simple as that one two three four step process i guarantee you if you follow that four-step process anybody on this app can do what they supposed to do on YouTube anybody on this app can make
14:30 - 15:00 YouTube content their full time and bro I was genuinely driving today no cap this happened less than 30 minutes ago i'm driving in my neighborhood i had my um top off of my car i'm driving if y'all don't know I got a I got a coupe and the top come off i'm driving and um somebody was delivering packages and he stopped me i thought it was going to be on some [ __ ] like "Oh [ __ ] I I know you d and I kind of hate that when I'm in my neighborhood because it's like close to your house but [ __ ] that's that's my
15:00 - 15:30 fault for driving with a top off right?" But he didn't say that what he said was "Bro what do you do for a living?"
