Great video, like always.💪 What do you mean by “you shouldn’t sell publicly but should sell privately”?

I ordered the book and started reading it. I love your KZbins. The thing that stood out the most was when you said if you dont get people to disagree with you then you're not saying anything different. I make prolific statements all the time on my Facebook page that get people to talk! Thanks for reaffirmation of this!

[@ReworkYourLife]

Just deleted social media off my phone and it feels great! I definitely feel a weight has lifted.

[@twentysvn]

Graham I am a consistent Podcast listener and I've already left a review before, so just wanted to run over to youtube to say: thank you for all you do. I cant wait to read your book. Congratulations.

[@GrahamCochrane]

Thank you!

[@WendyLaw]

You are amazing!!! Thank you for all these amazing content here. I am inspired!!!

[@QuincyKane]

Great episode! Looking forward to getting my copy of your book! That "bucket" tip is quite helpful!

[@John-mj6uq]

Agree. Making the content buckets then thinking of content ideas for each bucket was helpful. Takes the overwhelm away.

[@HER-icaneForceProductions]

I am so happy to hear that blogging is not dead! That is my preferred style of content, but I’ve invested a ton of resources (time & $$$) into vastly ramping up my video (and audio) production capacity this year, so I’ll be producing a lot of KZbin videos, both for the new solo artist music project I’m about to launch and for my e-commerce site that I’ll eventually build an online course to support. Thank you! Brenda K in L.A.

[@marywelchofficial4858]

It's rare to come across someone so compelling you feel like you want to binge all of their content but that's how I feel about you Coach Graham! Thank you for what you do

[@GrahamCochrane]

Wow. Thank you so much!

[@Sonyacita]

Biggest impact is the buckets! That’s simple, actionable and I haven’t heard it anywhere else.

[@PutTheShovelDown]

Even though I’m already doing this… it’s good to be reminded that I’m on the right track!

[@donnaiatba]

Great information. Just ordered your book as I'm preparing to launch a youth leadership program online and within communities. Thank you! Glad to know blogging is still worthwhile and the benefit of having a podcast along with KZbin presence.

[@stickybucket1851]

Biggest insight on bold content: Haters will talk trash about you, but not everyone will agree with what they're saying. Those who don't might be curious and then SEARCH for you because you might have the answer (or online course) they've been looking for. Boom. Solid client acquired.

[@veryvitality]

This was therapy for my soul. It's so hard to sell yourself and have your own business... sometimes it just feels so icky to hustle and I love how you have given us permission to just be real and helpful and it reminded why I became.a wellness coach to begin with. Thanks! I just ordered your book 🙂

[@NotaryEducatorswithKimmi]

I have learned sooooo much!!!! Thank you don't change. I also tend to say and do things that are unpopular. I appreciate you.😊Kimmi

[@codyalexthompson]

Graham, I absolutely love your stuff. Your videos, your posts, everything. It has me on a Kajabi trial, creating outlines for courses, revving up to start my course-based business. It is exciting. And I personally love that you integrate your faith. Without our Maker, we would have NONE of these gifts. BUT, I need some help here. Your central tenet is to work less, and how you made a lot of money working 5 hours a week. I see how much content you put out, how many interviews you're on, etc. And even filtering out the automated stuff, I'm struggling to see how you could actually do all of this in only 5 hours per week. My biggest concern is that I'd get into this (course creation, content generation, podcast outlines/podcasts) and it would overwhelm me, causing me to work more. How do you do all of this? Again, you are one of a few life changers for me. Thanks for all your mentoring folks like me through! Cody T

[@Gordon.Collins]

Graham, LOVE IT!!! I can definitely say our Business Core Values align! Much respect! Thank you for the Value you bring! Let's GROW!!! 💪🏾🏆

[@GrahamCochrane]

Thanks!!

[@GiavannaBlanche]

Thank you Graham. My partner showed me your podcast as support for me to uplift my business strategy. And I've been watching all your videos and I feel so much confidence now to begin my own journey. And the topic I chose is not so simple. Consiousness sexuality with the focus on spirituality. And I've been struggling around target lately. As anytime using special words around this topic, social networks will cut me out. Would be really helpful to have your thought around this limitations. Or may be how can I be more specific around tabu topics with key words. Thank you so much for such a contribution of what you're sharing. We with my partner having in our dream list bucket connection with you for coaching. Hope we grow so fast - that it's gonna happen very soon.

[@youareimagination]

I so appreciate your channel, YOU ARE MY GO TO GUY for my future online businesses. supporting you is my pleasure (kajabi) so I'm definitely pre-ordering your book. Tank you for sharing

[@youareimagination]

lol Thank you for sharing😂

[@LarryJHoman]

"I smell really good, friend." Hahaha! Love it! Man, you hit on so many good points. Serving others, being bold and taking a stand all resonated with me. Especially the point you made about validating others. Many people have questions or feeling like no one is talking about what they are feeling and hitting on a point they resonate with is so powerful. When you take a stand and are polarizing, you get noticed. So many good take-aways about creating content. My head is going to explode! Fantastic! I had a recent surge in traffic on my first ever "how to" video. Definitely sent some people into a tizzy while others loved the video. I must be doing something right! Thanks for the affirmation, my friend! I smell good, too! Blessings

[@KristaMollion]

You are one of my absolute fave content creators, Graham! We share the same mission, just different styles and angles, so I always get value from listening to your podcast. I have the book and will promote it for you gladly. I hope the sales are good. Keep it coming.

[@GrahamCochrane]

Thank you!

[@ericnoden]

Great Episode Thanks!

[@davidnichols100]

Such raw power in your videos Graham. Always good to hear you speak. My ahah moment was "son't do paid ads, don't do social media". That will define your true audience!

[@iesoconsult]

So blessed by your videos. Just got your book

[@Pw614]

Graham, thank you for this. Often people can be afraid of the very words they need to hear the most. Keep talking about your values and your faith, as they guide you in business. For those who may shudder or judge, I can only say that they will learn one day. Creativity and success in business often emerge at the nexus of formidable moral values and a sound work ethic. You’re setting the example for us all now-and for those who don’t understand how your Christian worldview shapes your business, give them time. I believe people will learn one way or another that a spiritual outlook must be fully integrated into their life, and that includes their business. Once we center our business in something deeper and more grand than simply commerce, we find we serve our customer’s even better and experience greater fulfillment. That’s my two cents. Anyways, can’t wait for the book. 😀Cheers!

[@Ifelola_1]

This is such a thoughtful contribution. Thank you for this

[@samsonboots]

Hello Graham. I received a link from a woman about your Podcast on Total Beginners Guide to Growing Your Audience. I loved what I heard! So informative. SO, you now have a new subscriber, I have pre-ordered your book and your KZbin channel!. Thanks

[@maggiesabatier-smith805]

Your authenticity speaks volumes 👏👏 Thank you for showing up as you. Blessings

[@saramariegriffith]

Life changing content here. Thank you for your generosity.

[@jimmytvglobal]

I just bought a book,yours,kindle version.I follow your youtube channel from time to time and now decide to make an product online.

[@holistictraditionswithpat2170]

I have to finish the project I’m on before I start. I am so looking forward to moving forward!

[@CaroleKabrin]

Yep.. this episode came up for me two years later.. now! You really help me Graham!… thank you… I study with Amy as well… and she is awesome, but you are special! Carole

[@matthewgilfillan2946]

Another great video! Thank you for your generosity! That point really resonated with me. I also got a lot of encouragement because I just started my a KZbin channel creating content related to my niche and have been blogging as well. Thank you! ❤

[@christinecook8888]

Thank you for your honesty and authenticity. 😃

[@Ori-Retro-Gamer]

Thank you Graham, Just brought your book, your points on social media are spot on, also been watching you for years on Recording Revolution, being a fellow audio engineer etc, Gods continued blessing on you and your family my friend.

[@Lori-icu]

Graham thanks for sharing. It was a blessing to see your clip on the news. I went right to it. Very informative as well. I never knew KZbin was used more than any other search site. Thanks for the heads up. I have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to your next podcast. Thank you for your story!

[@HealthglowsNet]

I cannot thank you enough for all that you are teaching us. Congrats on the book! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am looking forward to order it and read it. Also, my plan is to become a student of your community. 🙏☺

[@CPtheCreator]

Back to the awesome basics!!! Great video bro!

[@felipebonacic]

Once you get the formula it’s easy Peazy the hardest for me is the commitment to post content every week, but you’ve done it, So it’s proof.

[@rhondacosta160]

Huge believer in not going social route✌🏻

[@CraigBrownMP]

I loved the Content Buckets idea. Thanks Graham. I’m becoming a fan👍🏽

[@SB9A_]

Graham Well appreciated . Thanx from Saudi Arabia.💐💐💐

[@pauldavidwebster6319]

This is so refreshing, thanks for sharing this!

[@hansrosenberg3115]

Thanks again Graham! I liked the content buckets idea. However, I'm planning a playlist for a large project that will cross all buckets. So I have to think about how to make good use of this idea.

[@CBIWebServices]

Re-watching this one again. Very good advice and information as usual. One of my challenges the past couple years is the loss of my voice. As a life-long musician that sucks, because I'm now relegated to instrumental music. in business, while I do actually have a speaking voice, it's not at all suitable for podcasts, videos, or anything else that requires speaking. Currently trying to figure out how to get things done without using my voice.

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Glad that I caught this early. This was my #1 question during our "How To Get Paid For What You Know" call yesterday.

[@heysimmone]

My 2nd video of yours today. Great video and the 35 minute mark made me a new sub (selling in private, etc.). Thanks for the content and the confirmation of many of my beliefs.

[@FreshMootz]

Congrats! I just ordered. F social media. I hate it.

[@GlennSwane]

Thanks Graham, I have recently read the book and found it an honest and inspiring experience. Enjoy from King Solomon about giving freely. I'm interested in using it to disrupt financial education and advice in Australia!

[@zenrainbowgal]

Very inspirational , I am a blogger / writer eventually wanting to make money off it . I subscribed because finally someone is speaking my language .

[@RubberDuckie76]

I came across your videos by accident but I'm very grateful I did

[@vanessaredford]

Content Buckets - this was INCREDIBLY helpful! Just got your book on audible - super excited! Cheers and good vibes! Vanessa - That Tattooed Interior Designer.

[@bettinabrandt2581]

Where are you posting your articles? On your own blog/site alone or elsewhere? (thank youuuu)

[@creatingdigitalassets]

Julie Stoian and Cathy Olson are THE experts on Disney prepping/hacking. They just hosted marketer‘s heart there last week

[@clairebouvier]

The cologne comment made me laugh 😂 - my version is lipstick! Fantastic content, great transparency Graham!

[@generatealifewelllived]

Graham- I currently have a podcast that I also upload to YT. Would you suggest not having it as a podcast in YT and just a channel?

[@veppa]

Nice tip about learning from competitors successful content on YT. 👍 All stats like views visible. Helpful for finding ideas for content.

[@Monika.Furman]

Thank you for the great informative video! :) makes so much sense

[@leadershipthatlasts]

Pre-ordered the book a week or so back and looking forward to reading later this month. Something I am learning to focus on is being consistent in my content production. I have a new weekly podcast that I have been consistent with, but I might blog one week and not for another two weeks. Part of the reason is that I am trying to be in all of the spaces (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, etc). I am scaling back and focusing on three spaces you, ironically, mentioned blogging, podcast, KZbin. Then sending that content to LinkedIn and Instagram only at the moment. I have used your suggestion of breaking down the content into buckets. In addition, I have created a weekly rhythm for posting the content.

[@WhatToSellOnAmazon]

Something that worked to keep me consistent in weekly KZbin videos was bringing on my best friend. It took a while to get him onboard but he learned how to produce for me so I didn't have so much on my plate. The big shift was that the channel and the vision was bigger than me once someone else joined the team. I can't remember the last time we went a week without publishing and I never could've done it alone. You'd be surprised who might be excited to share your purpose!

[@leadershipthatlasts]

@@WhatToSellOnAmazon Thank you for sharing your journey! I look forward to the day when I can scale more and bring more people on. I know that will level up my content for sure.

[@mihajlovicmira6764]

Thank you! Greatings from Serbia!

[@spencerkim4755]

So dang grateful for you and your amazing content!!!

[@lightsource444]

😂 nothing like a good smelling man 😂😂😂 Also quality content on either side of that side note lol

[@nalcow]

Great content, very valuable.

[@Growwithgrace101]

Wow love you content thank you 🙏

[@ritagunderson7871]

Can't wait to dig in the book--preordered and anticipating ;)

[@MoneyLikeMike_]

Thank you!! I have been scared to publicize my opinions to my thoughts that aren't "main stream". No more! I will be doing that from now on. Look out :)

[@countryboyzproduction]

That music you use as a opening how did you use it because when I did it was a copyright claim

[@GrahamCochrane]

I bought it - a license to use it.

[@countryboyzproduction]

How do you buy the license. I had bought one before and they still try to give me a copyright claim. How do you dispute it?

[@sherrypearls]

Graham your links ain't working...

[@creatingdigitalassets]

Is there a way to get a signed copy? For a fellow kajabi friend

[@GrahamCochrane]

Anything is possible 😂 email me!

[@permacultureal4032]

Hi Graham, I went to buy the book but I can't see it in softcover. Just hardcover and kindle in Australia. I don't have a kindle and the hardcover is a bit out of my price range at the moment. Will you offer the softcover version at some time? Thank you so much for your videos! :)

[@Mercelina]

Hey Graham, thanks for the video. I got a question. I'm doing 3 things: making music, teaching mixing, and teaching to make money freelancing online. Do I need different channels to show these topics to not confuse my audience? Thanks :)

[@jeanettef.chaplin4326]

Thanks for yet another informative video. I like your idea of the Content Buckets. I have been writing about Bible women and have thought in terms of each woman being a separate subject. It makes more sense to look at broader topics that I can cover. It will give me more flexibility if I cover different aspects of their lives.

[@ruggedlifejewelry]

Hwy could you share what speaker you use and what does it hook up to? Also what lighting can I use? I want to make videos for coaching on my other channel 😎 yours are nice

[@ruggedlifejewelry]

Hey^*

[@thepatientadvocate9720]

Got that BOOK on the way my brother! 🍻

[@SifuPaul-Martialmindmastery]

Love your videos. A question though: I found you on social media (KZbin), so how can it not be effective..? So, am a little confused. Isn't sharing valuable content on KZbin also making use of social media? Perhaps podcasts don't count as sm, but posting content on KZbin and LinkedIn for examples do if I am not mistaken? Please clarify for me.

[@kondere]

This is great advice, I will definitely apply! And yes, faith in God is key.

[@djfingersflores]

I like your polarizing ideas Graham... Peace !

[@UNS3CUR3D]

I wish it was easy to pick a niche for using email marketing for affiliates. I just can't decide.

[@ishaanchopra956]

Learned a lot thank you I’m going to keep working on my channel

[@crosssoljaful]

You are extremely helpful! I laughed at the smell good part lol

[@phoffers3498]

Great stuff

[@aqasanu1992]

Great video

[@bringtheseo]

I definitely don't agree re ads. You can literally go from zero to $100k months running ads in a matter of weeks. You can't do that with content. And this is where MANY people get it wrong. They spend 2 years mucking around creating content, to suddenly realize they're operating in the wrong niche, or have the wrong product, or their offer sucks and noboday wants it. Thats FAR more expensive than ads.

[@RGVEdits]

I am an email copywriter for coaches how can I apply these to my area of focus

[@SherryHigdonInc]

AWESOME video, absolutely loved it and resonated with it. This is the direction the Lord has been nudging me for a long time and I've run all around it. I wish I had come across this before I hired my last ad agency (which is still going right now) it would have saved me a minimum of $3K. In the past couple of weeks, I've come across more than a couple online entrepreneurs who are successful AND bold about their Faith! This morning I just 'happened' across your video for the first time and I just stopped it when I realized that God is trying to speak to me and I need to catch this for what it is. God Bless you and I'm going to go grab a copy of your book right now and watch everything of yours I can find.

[@meditativelife15]

Awesome

“You don’t need social media” this video aged like milk

[@breakedout]

I tried a couple of your forms which were supposed to provide PDF and things in exchange of email address. But, the only thing these forms do is taking the email address and displaying different errors when they need to provide the resource. I thought it may be a bug at the first time. But, trying multiple forms on your web pages and facing the same strategy with different scenarios I'm now thinking maybe it's just a shit show to collect people's emails. Maybe you consider yourself smart at marketing, but if you knew how easy it is to take down a frozen target on the internet, you wouldn't scam people with this much peace of mind. I'll give one of your forms another try in a while and if it still is a scam gate, the only one responsible for the consequences is the one who's built and promoted them!

[@chrisakins692]

So... build it and they will come?

[@thetalkingtherapist1225]

A profit of $10k but also you now have a tax write off of $15k. Which leads me to ask if you can create content around developing the business behind the business ….all things money (accounting, taxes, investments); ….all things for security strategies (emails, privacy, etc..) ….etc

[@GrahamCochrane]

Yes! Absolutely

[@OffgridTV]

You should share your videos on D.tube and Blurt too
