Can AI-generated content really land you a one-on-one 60 minute call with a YouTuber who has over 1 million subscribers? I know that sounds insane, but it happened to me—and I'm going to share the three takeaways I got from this call, and, stay with me because by the end of this video, you’ll have the blueprints to make it possible for yourself.

Recently I've been refining a very specific content strategy, I’ve seen it attract an audience of beginners and high-profile creators alike.

Or Kick-Engage, who comments, Wow, this is super inspiring! It really shows that consistency and the right strategies pay off.

Getting Noticed

But let’s be real — getting noticed online feels like shouting into the void. You pour time into creating content, but it doesn’t get the traction you hoped for.

You wonder, “What am I missing?”

I’ve been there. I know how frustrating it is to create content that seems to go unnoticed.

In this video, I’ll show you the exact AI-driven content strategy I used—the same one that not only boosted my engagement but brought a YouTuber with over 1 million subscribers straight to my inbox.

And the best part? You can implement it immediately.

Here’s how it all started:

I didn’t reach out to this YouTuber—he found me. I didn’t cold DM him, pitch him, or even know he was watching. My content did all the talking. Thanks to AI, I created tutorials that solved real problems and packaged them in a way that naturally attracted the right people. That’s the beauty of inbound marketing, and it’s a game-changer.

Let’s break down the Killer Content Strategy that made this happen:

Step 1: Research what your audience is asking. Use AI tools to identify the most common pain points.

Step 2: Create tutorials that do and show. Don’t just talk about solutions—demonstrate them step by step.

Step 3: Share this content consistently to attract your audience organically.

But I didn’t stop there. I paired this with a Killer Engagement Strategy that I'll share below:

Now, let's get into what I learned from a 60 minute call with a YouTuber who has over 1 million subscribers.

One of the new members of my course contacted me and asked if I had time for a call. I didn't know who he was and yes, I'm happy to have time to chat with and help anybody who signs up to my course. So, of course, I'm going to help them.

And then as we got on to the call, I searched his his YouTube address in his username profile, and saw that he had over 1.3 million subscribers!

Now I'm… now I'm nervous, as we're starting this call because of how big of a profile he's got…

…but he is so personable, he's so down to earth, I would never have taken him for the celebrity. It was great to just chat with another automation enthusiast.

As we chatted and shared ideas, we started working on a really exciting new project that I can't wait to reveal!

Three Big Tips

To my surprise, my new friend shared some of his 1-million-youtube-subscriber-insights that immediately changed how I approach my YouTube channel.

Important Mindset Shift First

But before diving into the takeaways, there’s an important mindset shift I want to highlight. It stems from advice I once heard from Alex Hormozi during an interview. When asked how he deals with imposter syndrome, Alex paused and replied, “You’re probably not going to like my answer, but I don’t have imposter syndrome. Everything I talk about is based on results I’ve actually achieved. I don’t make predictions; I share outcomes.”

That stuck with me. And it’s why advice from someone who’s already achieved massive success—like this YouTuber—is invaluable. They’re sharing proven strategies, not just theories.

The 3 Key Takeaways from Our Call

Thumbnail Optimization is Crucial - The first thing he pointed out was my YouTube thumbnails. He emphasized how critical thumbnails are for click-through rates and shared a tool he uses to create eye-catching designs. (I’ve included his referral link below because this tool has been a game-changer for me.)

Upgrade Your Audio Setup - While he didn’t explicitly say this, when I reviewed the recording of our call, it was clear that my audio quality needed improvement. His voice sounded like he was in the room with me and my voice sounded like I was on a telephone. A better microphone can make a significant difference in how professional your content sounds.

Leverage AI for Vertical Video - Rather than focusing on changing longform youtube videos into text blog posts for beehiiv and medium, create virtical video content for Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube Shorts.

The Live Experiment

I immediately implemented his advice and started making changes to my YouTube channel and thumbnails. You’re now part of this live experiment—by following these strategies, I’ll be tracking the before-and-after data to see how these tweaks impact my channel.

If you’re curious about the tools and strategies I mentioned, check out the links below. And remember: the best advice comes from those who’ve been there and done that. So don’t just consume this information—apply it and watch the results unfold.

AI Content Transformed My Results

How did I go from creating content that seemed to go unnoticed, to content that brings in such experienced content creators?

Killer Content Strategy that made this happen: I paired this with a Killer Engagement Strategy

At the end of every tutorial, I offer a 7-day free trial to my tools. This gives potential clients immediate value—no barriers, no friction. 

That’s how this YouTuber got hooked. He took advantage of the free trial, loved what he saw, and reached out for a call.

Think of it like fishing—you’re not casting your line blindly. You’re using the right bait (valuable content) in the right spot (where your audience is searching), and eventually, the big fish—in this case, a YouTuber with 1 million subscribers—bites.

And here’s what I believe—if I can do this, so can you.

Imagine waking up to an email from a major creator, eager to collaborate because they’ve seen the value you bring.

It’s not just possible; it’s inevitable when you apply this strategy.

If you’re ready to attract the right people to your content without chasing them down, grab everything in the 7-day free trial.

You'll get the exact blueprints I used to make all this happen. There is a learning curve—but once you see how powerful it is, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

Thanks for reading! Keep experimenting, keep automating, and here’s to your success.
