Why now

From February 1, 2027, YouTube is raising the bar for new channels that want to join the Partner Program. New channels will need 1,000 subscribers plus 8,000 watch hours in a year (double the old 4,000), or 20 million Shorts views in 90 days.

That means the niche you choose, the topics you pick and the quality of your videos matter more than ever. Getting it right from day one saves you months.

What we show you

We don't hand you a course and disappear. We work with you, give you homework, and hold your hand until you can do it on your own.

1. Your niche

We do the niche research with you, narrow it down and find a niche that can actually get views.

2. Your channel

We get your channel set up properly: name, branding, structure and your first topics.

3. Your scripts

How to find topics people are searching for and write scripts that keep them watching.

4. Your own studio

We help you set up your own video production, so you stop paying editors $75 to $300 a video.

Our monetized channels

We run several faceless channels in different niches. We keep the channel names private, but here are the real numbers.

Numbers from YouTube, November 2026. Your results depend on your niche, your effort and many other things.

Who we are

Tim and Kristi. Between us we have about nine to ten years of YouTube experience, and we both run monetized channels.

Kristi

On YouTube since 2022. Back then everything had to be done by hand: voiceovers, editing, scripts. I paid editors up to $300 a video, waited weeks, and some of those videos did nothing. I also got demonetized after trusting the wrong advice, and I fought to get my channels back. Today I run several channels with a video studio I built myself. I fired all of my editors.

Tim

My partner in this. Tim runs monetized channels of his own, and together we build and test new channels all the time. We coach because we love it, and because we know how much time and money you can waste without someone who has done it.

"We're not 25. Most coaches out there are in their twenties. We're over 50, and we bring a different mindset: real values, real work ethic, and real time with you."

How it works

We are very serious about this, and we only accept a handful of people every month.

Questions

Do I have to be on camera?

No. We teach faceless YouTube. You never have to show your face.

Do I need tech skills?

No. We show you everything step by step, at your pace.

I already have a channel. Can you still help?

Yes. Bring it to the call and we'll look at it together.

How much does coaching cost?

We talk about that on the call, once we know your goals and what you need.

Do you guarantee monetization or income?

No. Nobody honest can. We teach you the process that works for us, and we work with you closely. Your results depend on you, your niche and YouTube.
