Thanks Ed for having me on! Always a blast chatting

[@SnakeCakeExotics]

Lol I'm obsessed! Bloody posting almost daily for 3 years..

[@norji6945]

Hi Max! What is the reason you choosed to publish those valueable videos on youtube instead of selling them in a course? Also in the aftermath, was it more profitable being affiliate for the bank than fex having step-by-step guide as an upsell? Love your content btw, everyone here should subscribe to you.

[@SnakeCakeExotics]

@@norji6945 buy selling he would have had to market and sell instead buy giving it for free he created appreciation and tons of free marketing which allowed him to scale and sell more than he ever would have trying to sell a course. He choose the long haul over the quick buck which is actually less profitable in the long run. Thought bigger.

[@jadehonee1328]

you a Lier, right?

[@LifeChangePlans]

Great advice, you can not sell a Patreon Page. Thank you for this. You have validated my decision to create my own recurring monthly program.

[@affiliateprofithero]

Very Important point @7:07 that very few affiliate marketers every seem to mention.

[@VioletEmerald]

Yes

[@IBSaurabh]

Max makes great content

[@brettjosh]

Amazing interview!

[@Ta3allamOnline]

Great interview

[@moneyworld88]

A million views danced on his screen, As fortunes blossomed from the unseen. In a month of marvels, a dream come true, $1,600,000 - a testament to what he could do.

@@trevrockrock16 LOL. I have the right to remain silent.

[@jonwhite9069]

That was amazingly useful information about Patreon and selling products. Thank you!

[@Jefnam]

This is the ONLY finance/creator video I've ever enjoyed watching. It's nice to hear all of this made so simple and have creativity and problem solving at It's core

[@MetaFaceWorldAi]

Not only did I watch every one of those videos, I used a ton of the resources Max posted up. Those were my intro to his contect. Very well done!!!

One word #Humble

His set-up looks like a Zoom background - that's the dream!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

This whole conversation deserves to be behind a paywall. So much value. Thanks for putting this together Ed!

[@creator-booth]

Thanks man, I got so much out of it too!

[@chicanoinparadise]

For people that are well off like us, yes. But think of all the struggling youtubers out there that wouldn’t be able to afford it.

[@davypaul9827]

​@chicanoinparadise your comment over-assumes too much. Furthermore, and speaking from my own experience, so many don't realize how much quality n free knowledge is on YT, just most don't put in the effort which will ultimately be a factor in not succeeding. IMHO

[@chicanoinparadise]

@@davypaul9827 all I assume is that if its behind a paywall youtubers with little money wont have access to it. I am grateful that it is not behind a paywall because what this conversation deserves (more than anything) is to be heard by any and all creatives with or without the wherewithal to get started on their path to success.

[@RivenbladeS]

And you deserve to be behind a jailwall

[@arigutman]

This is a great video and very insightful... thank you for sharing..

[@kyoko703]

16:53 - something new i learned recently was the fact child seats actually have an expiration date AND if you bring the old one to Target, you can get some trade-in value and use that toward the purchase of a new one. I honestly did not know there were even an expiration date on a child safety seat. It's not like they are like foods that "rot" or "get moldy" but apparently they really do come with an expiration date. Poof!!! Mind blown!!! 😮😮😮😮😮

[@VioletEmerald]

I think you meant 16:40

[@jakethedanishguy]

If you love affiliate marketing this video is a must!

[@tomschlaiss5735]

Interesting video, well presented. Cheers from Germany

[@dontrez8412]

This was great. I see I was on the right path, but I need to make some tweaks in other areas. Good stuff.

[@PortableProfessional]

Your content is incredible, Ed. So entertaining while also being clear and valuable. Im always learning from both the things you say and the way you structure your own content. Can’t wait to see what you creat next. 🎉

[@creator-booth]

Awesome, thank you!

I see that now you say it!

[@-HollywoodAtHome-]

Hi Ed! Just wanted to say thank you so much for covering this KZbin niche. I'm 15 years old and have just started email marketing using the free version of Mailchimp, and all these interviews you're doing about the business side of KZbin are super inspiring.

[@animalrave7167]

Yeah i read "work the system" many years ago. I systematized nearly everything over the next year or 2. Even to this day im always thinking how can i systematize it. Will seriously change your life.

[@tabletop-mini-showcase]

I totally get the brand guidelines part, I recently implemented a strategy to make my video titles better called the "it's just me and the kids from now on" method. The idea being that the title should read like something a girl in her twenties would post on Facebook, dramatic enough to get attention but still vague enough that you need to dig a little deeper to know what's actually going on. the result has been way more views and subscribers since the implementation so I'm sticking with it :)

[@creator-booth]

Nice! Thats a cool way to describe it, kind of like how I asked Chat GPT to do things too

[@tabletop-mini-showcase]

@@creator-booth that's probably where I got the idea...your stuff sneaks into my brain even without me realising lol.

[@dennis_s]

subtle nod to (maybe) The Yard Patreon is cool

[@BuckyArm]

Bruh! Why is this that Google is showing that his networh is just $1million .

[@LilyGazou]

Maybe hiding in crypto and offshore accounts.

[@wildgeesemediaagency]

You can do all that Riverside stuff in Premiere Pro

[@bigbadwolfeinc]

Great video, super informative. Even in an interview, this guy wants to be super helpful

[@homewithpete]

I was watching those videos, he helped me through all the programs, I looked for his updates everyday. HUGE HELP!

[@archvaldor]

Damn I knew Max was good but...wow....beating Beast...

[@banasophia]

Inspiring - thank you!

Been trying to find this video again for ages

[@rgblackshorts]

OMG this is amazing, the part that really struck me is how he finds his employees profile to be like

[@bitKitty]

Thank you for showcasing Max! I have been following him since the start. I love you Max!! ❤❤

[@StandardStoryCo]

Always love a new upload on either of your channels, good stuff Ed 🤌

[@creator-booth]

Thanks :) appreciate it

[@robinabernathy2829]

What am I missing here? If he generated 10 billion his commissions even on the low end should have been over 8 figures. I'd say he was undercompensated.

[@calciferatemyhomework]

The 1.6 million is referring to income in 1 month, and I guess the 10 billion was over a longer timeframe

[@creator-booth]

Thats correct

[@thepalateplate]

This is amazing 🤩

[@AI-MoneyManiac]

Wow this is INSANE!!!

[@jonrich9675]

My advice is everyone who is a content creator do this simple trick. Please for the love of god you should charge on patreon 7-200$. I see way too many content creators make patreon page and then charge 2-14$ and never get ahead and will not make it full time on their passion. So charge bare 7 to 200$ is a perfect patreon page. Or at least add some affiliate pages tailored to your audience on. Also never over do your Tier system. I see too many people get burnt out adding 10+ bonus on their tiers.

[@creator-booth]

Yea if you go too low you need massive numbers and then its very hard to make a living from it unless you have insane views

[@iNINJAgamer]

I tried to build a channel helping people and KZbin deleted my channel… and they didn’t tell me why. I figured I were following the guidelines but KZbin said NO.

[@clarebrody1]

I think people will flag or KZbin just goes around closing them. I had one that had one video of me testing my camera no music talking just testing the quality and boom gone. I tried to get back but needed to apply again..

[@iNINJAgamer]

@@clarebrody1 yea, KZbin be trippin. Especially when they don’t tell you why.

[@clarebrody1]

@iNINJAgamer I feel it's a bit like etsy they must have bots going around just closing ones they don't think should be there but really they have no clue. That's why important to build an email list for any business.

[@kaswin41]

This is incredible

[@krisproaffiliate]

Cool video but for me I can't learn new things if there is not a visual examples, presentation or tutorial of some sorts. Just talking about things is good to potentially give some tips or insights but for me personally just makes me think 🤔 how can I do that or start this, or where to go from here, etc... Makes me question everything. I am visual learner, so it's hard to just imagine something without any examples 😢

[@luxuryconnoisseuraddict6900]

What's patriot that he keeps referring to? I don't understand what he means by that, if someone could kindly explain. Thank you.

[@creator-booth]

Patreon, its a membership platform :)

[@IDTS]

The interview was great Ed! Thank you for making it, the only thing i would mention is the audio, I don't know if it is just me, but I find that the "sissing" is kinda high, like, the high range tones are not muted, so that turns out kinda annoying to hear, everything else was on point, nice job :)

[@ItsJustGilly]

I agree. Otherwise it's great!

[@Livinglikejerry]

Best interview I’ve heard 🙏 will read the systems book for sure!

[@Life-Inspired-Healing]

Mind blowing

[@muhammad7600]

Was the Riverside watermark intentionally put there or is it always on videos exported?

[@creator-booth]

No that was me putting it there on purpose

[@Father.Beocca]

500 videos and I didn’t see one of them… and I didn’t get PPP either. My bank refused to help even though they had a so-called PPP expert, so I was declined several times and received $0. .. not that it counts now, but I figured out last year what was triggering the automatic decline.

[@unclemick-synths]

Interesting video. Useful tips even though I have no interest in running a formal business.

[@AcesizOfficial]

[@ROSADIANA-DSB]

Wow that’s amazing

[@risko6458]

wow, that sounds interesting

[@MriykeLifestyle]

🎉 pls can u teach me how to do that.

[@creator-booth]

His video at the end and in the link in the description goes in to way more detail

[@CryptoGrit]

The biggest issue with Max is that he is pretending to know the things that he doesn't...

[@airuler4118]

what do you mean ? he might not be Socrates level the virtue of intellectual modesty but he still seems to be quite good at what he is doing

[@CryptoGrit]

@@airuler4118 One video he says that he joined a crypto month ago, than he releases a video talking how he is 3 years in crypto xD there is one guy posting timestamps and everything on youtube exposing him fully...

[@LifeChangePlans]

That sounds like an awesome software for repurposing videos. 👍🏻😉😉

[@ZanetDesign]

Got that first question wrong!

[@beatbuildersstudio]

interesting video and great title to get me to click. However, can this done again? If we have another pandemic and more programs maybe but probably not. We have hindsight and know what to do know. Even though you're not telling us we can make that amount. It's implied by people who want to make money as a creator. The carrot is 1.6 mil but it doesn't give the reality that most won't make money.

[@LilyGazou]

I wonder how much corruption was involved with the PPP program. And what did it cost the taxpayers?

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

Guess what, always USA market economy, cause in Europe this never happens loll

[@DoughnutDragon]

8:27 This is exactly why i hate patreon stuff. It's scummy and manipulative. It seems like most of the ways of making money online involve sacrificing your integrity.

[@unclemick-synths]

It depends how cut-down the YT stuff is. If it's like an infomercial where you watch for ten minutes but value never gets delivered I'm not keen but if the YT content is valuable in its own right and the Patreon is added value, I have no objection - people have to feed their families.

[@DoughnutDragon]

@@unclemick-synths Yeah that's fair enough, promising and delivering value is good but using fear as a tactic to manipulate people into giving you money is immoral.

[@unclemick-synths]

@@DoughnutDragon yep. I steer clear of ones like that. It's a bad idea on their part because if they string people along on YT it makes me think they'll string people along in Patreon. It's like the cable TV companies perpetually trying to shuffle everyone's favourite channels onto separate extra-cost packages.

[@LilyGazou]

I’ve never paid for a patreon. I read a lot on Substack and the moment they lock up their newsletter to serve only paying subscribers, I drop them. I guess there are plenty of people who can afford monthly fees.

[@persebra]

He did what i have heard all the experts say... :find a problem/pain point people are having, and give them a solution" i have heard this for years, but have so far not come across a problem, that I could solve! 🤣🤣🤣

[@FactNight]

I don't think you're probably making 1M dollars/ month on your main channel - As you described in your description.. With AdSense you're making around 100k dolls a year.. Then some sponsorships... Probably i guess you're making around 500k a year.. Don't take me wrong, just i wanted to say you , don't write the false statement in your bio 😅

[@creator-booth]

Ad sense is 3% of my turnover and I don't do sponsorships hardly ever, you also misread the description, its doesn't say 1M a month. I sell high ticket courses, you're welcome to look at them on my website

[@davidvoorhies812]

I had no idea he did this. I was following Max for Crypto info for a while now.

[@creator-booth]

Yea hes done a lot!!

[@Illumignostic]

I don’t know why people believe this crap.

[@LilyGazou]

People have a dream of making a living doing something they love, I guess. They think there is some system they can crack. Just around the corner.

[@kyoko703]

"As helpful as humanly possible." Translation: be genuine. These days, the real currency is the trust that is formed between you and your audience. When that goes away, you can never get it back. You can try to buy it back but then you've become a sell out.

[@LilyGazou]

Agreed. One clickbait title and I’m gone forever.
