Strategy By: Thomas Garetz

Step #1 - Mindset
*Some Points Are General, Some Are YouTube Specific*
● Remember/Figure Out Your WHY
○ Is money a real WHY? (depends how you look at it)
● Shiny Object Syndrome - The Fastest Way To Fail
○ Think Long-Term (get rich quick doesn’t exist)
● Dealing with Hate Comments
● Dealing with Criticism (friends, family, etc)
● Get Over Your Fear of Posting
● THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS TO SUCCESS
○ You have to just work hard and not give up
○ Buying views/subs and sub 4 sub is bad

Step #2 - Strategy
● Why use YouTube?
○ Your videos last for months & years
○ It builds the know, like, and trust factor the fastest
○ Video is just the future
● What is Affiliate Marketing?
● But WHY with YouTube? (& WHY Legendary is the BEST)
○ You can do the “Simple Strategy” (this really only works
on YouTube and is how I WISH I started) LESS is MORE
○ Instead… you can leverage LM’s tools and just focus on
CREATING CONTENT and be WAY more productive
○ After you start making money, then get them

Step #3 - Preparing
● Does Quality Matter?
○ Yes/No - my setup cost less than $300 and I have 36k
subscribers… $50 webcam, $30 DIY lights, $120 USB
microphone (ya just gotta know how to set it up)
○ So you DON’T need a 4k camera or crazy expensive gear
just to get started - that’s a common excuse.

● The YouTube Starter-Kit Guide shows all the gear,

accessories, and tools that I use… AND some.

Step #4 - Starting
● Picking a Niche
○ This strategy is in the MMO niche
● Create Your Channel
○ Decide: Personal name or Pen name/Business name
○ Create a NEW gmail account (use this only for YT)
● Enable The Correct Settings
○ MAKE SURE TO VERIFY ACCOUNT
● Decide on an Upload Schedule (IMPORTANT)
○ **I suggest creating a months worth of content before
uploading your first video - easier to stay consistent

Step #4 - Starting (cont.)

1. Building Out Your Channel (new customization feature helps)
a. BRANDING:
■ Profile Picture
■ Channel Art
■ Channel Watermark
b. BASIC INFO:
■ Channel Description (about page)
■ Link (subscribe link - you can add affiliate link later)
■ Contact Info (DO NOT USE SAME EMAIL AS YT)
c. LAYOUT:
■ Video Spotlight & Featured Sections (after posting)

Step #5 - Setting Up
● Setting Up A.V.L. + B (audio, video, lighting + background)
○ Get your microphone close to your mouth (6”-10” is good)
○ Position camera without a ton of space above you
○ 3-point lighting setup is the “norm” but lighting alone can
be an hour long topic - I’ll show examples on the next slide
○ Make sure your background has LIGHT (this is KEY)
■ Let me show you an example of my BG with & without

● Now, here’s what the 3-point lighting setup is...

This adds light to your hair/back, separates you
from the background and it also adds depth

Opposite side of key light, further to the side, not

45 degree angle from
as bright and it FILLS in the shadows on you
YOU (side doesn’t matter)
this is your brightest light

BUT… DON’T FORGET

BACKGROUND LIGHTING! ALSO, THIS ISN’T SET IN STONE…
AGAIN, THIS IS KEY!! LET ME SHOW YOU MY SETUP

Step #5 - Setting Up (cont.)

● Setting Up The Business Side
○ Do You NEED an LLC To Start? (DISCLAIMER: I’m not a
licensed professional - this is just my experience)
○ I used IncFile to create my LLC (I live in the US)
○ A lot of people get hung up on that part… so I would just
suggest to do a little research, choose one and get started
AFTER YOU DECIDED ON THAT...
● Get Affiliate Link From LM’s Back Office (Add Tracking Tag)
○ Go to Bitly.com & shorten it
○ Put the bitly link in a document somewhere
○ OPTIONAL: Add affiliate link to your channel links

Step #6 - Planning
● Getting Unlimited Video Ideas
○ Model Success
○ MorningFame (this tool is KEY for my business)
○ YouTube/Google ABC Method
○ Answer The Public (now is a paid tool & limits your search
to ONE but any VPN can let you get past that very easily)
■ Windscribe is what I use (it’s free)
■ I’ve heard good things about Nord Vpn but idk price

Step #6 - Planning (cont.)

Steps To Creating Good Videos FAST (in order):
1. Title/Search Phrase (SEARCHABLE KEYWORD)
a. Use MorningFame for this
2. Research & Script
a. Watch at least 3 videos on the topic
b. Script the entire video in google docs and break the script
into sections (also, try to make the intro short & concise ~1m)
3. Description

4. Tags & Pinned Comment
a. Use MorningFame for this

Step #6 - Planning (cont.)

Creating CLICKABLE Thumbnails (in order):
1. Take a Picture of Yourself (add emotions)
a. Camera App
2. Remove Background (optional but I suggest doing this)
a. Remove.BG (right click save image as to get past credits)
3. Add Outline To Image (optional again)
a. Gravit Designer - search “how to use gravit pen tool” on YT
4. Complete The Thumbnail (can do after the video too)

5. Compare Our Thumbnail To The Competitions
a. MorningFame

Step #7 - Creating
● How To Act on Camera?
○ Be YOU (try to not be super unenergetic & boring tho)
○ Hand movements do help
● Recording Videos The EASY Way
○ Look at script, read a line, look at camera, say the line, repeat
● How To Record Your Videos (recording in sections is easiest)
○ I suggest Camtasia (easiest)
○ OBS Studio (free)
● How To Edit Your Videos with Camtasia (free video on the doc)
○ This is just what I use but you can use iMovie if you’re an
apple user - but I don’t have any experience with that
● Export & Upload The Video (this is where MorningFame shines)

Step #8 - Promote
● TikTok is Best
○ Get Legendary’s 15 Second Free Leads
○ Follow that training
○ Then make short versions of each YouTube video and upload
it to TikTok - have CTA at end sending them to the full video
○ Then just Rinse & Repeat the process over an extended
period of time and DON’T GIVE UP!

...AND BOOM 💥💥💥

DID WE MAKE IT, DAVE?
