Heyo, it's Braden 👋

One of our clients just signed a $10,000/month retainer from his YouTube channel.

He has 3,000 subscribers.

And that deal doesn't exist on any other channel he's running.

Here's what we'll cover:

Do this before you read the rest of the letter.

Pull your last 10 closed deals and tag each one by where the lead actually came from.

Add two columns: average contract value and months retained.

Now compare your inbound rows against your cold email and paid rows.

Most founders have never once looked at LTV split by source.

And when they finally do, they find out the cheapest leads they buy are the ones costing them the most.

Here's the part I wish were more exciting.

There was no clever strategy behind this deal.

He's been posting consistently for over a year.

Never misses a recording.

Got noticeably better on camera every single month.

We read the data, found what his audience actually responded to, and doubled down on it over and over again.

That's it. That's the whole thing.

So the honest question is: do you want to sign $10k/month retainers off your channel badly enough to wait a year for it?

He's made hundreds of thousands of dollars in the meantime, so it's not like the year was wasted.

But the year is the price of entry.

Here's why that same deal will never come off cold email or paid ads.

A stranger doesn't hand you $10,000 a month.

A stranger hands you $2,000 and a trial, and then you spend 6 to 12 months earning your way up to the number you actually wanted.

That's if they stay.

Because a cold lead has no reason to trust your process.

So they question every deliverable, they need hand-holding on every call, and they churn the second results get slow.

Lower LTV. Higher CAC. Higher churn.

Worse on every axis that matters.

Now, the buyer who came off YouTube had binged the library before he ever booked.

He'd already watched our client explain his process for hours.

He already thought of him as the expert.

So that call was barely a pitch.

But trust isn't the only benefit here. Think about your targeting.

With cold email and paid ads, you pick who you reach.

Your list is your ceiling.

On YouTube, the targeting runs in reverse.

People find YOU.

Which means the weird, hard-to-list, wildly specific niches you'd never build a list for start raising their hand on their own.

Some of the best clients our clients have signed are ones nobody would have thought to target in the first place.

They were sitting in an industry too small and too awkward for anyone to bother building a campaign around.

You can't buy that audience.

You can only earn it.
