$0 to $1M: S1E3

Making the First $1K in Sales

I was 6 months into my YouTube journey, and my channel had grown to about 15,000 subscribers. I was earning just enough from ad revenue and freelancing that I'd been able to finally quit my day-job. Though, to be honest, we were still barely scraping by and mostly living off of savings.

The time had come to try to launch a digital product to — hopefully! — create a stream of passive income.

The only problem? I'd already tried to launch three digital products, and none of them had been successful.

In Episode 2, I talked about the mistakes I made trying to do a big launch of a project I didn’t know  if people even wanted.
