Chapter 1: The Course Experience

Initially, I was taken aback when I pressed the button to purchase a $5,000 course. I was almost certain that I would end up regretting my decision. By the end of that month, my credit card statement showed a staggering $12,500. It was painful. However, after six months of diligent learning and creating content on YouTube, I can confidently say that investing that $5,000 in education was one of the best decisions I've made.

Not only did I acquire skills in filming, scripting, and enhancing audio and video quality, but I also gained insights into business strategies, processes, and, most importantly, accountability. Undoubtedly, this course stands out as one of the most valuable live cohorts available online today.

Here are some key takeaways from the course:

While the material Ali provides isn't revolutionary—much of it is accessible through free YouTube videos—the level of effort he and his team invest in keeping participants motivated and inspired is truly impressive.

After the six-week live cohort concluded, Elizabeth Filips, the course coordinator and a YouTuber herself, facilitated a ten-week mini cohort that delved into greater detail about various aspects of YouTube. She generously provided live feedback to attendees throughout this challenge, which was astonishingly offered at no additional cost.

Upon researching other influencer course reviews, I noticed that a common grievance was the lack of support following the purchase. Many of these courses are passive and do not include follow-ups. In this area, Ali and his team significantly outshine their competitors.

Another unforeseen advantage of the course was discovering other high-quality online classes. For instance, I am currently enrolled in Ship30for30 to enhance my writing abilities. Additionally, I'm considering courses like Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte, Ultraspeaking, and Sushee Nzeutem's YouTube Business Builder Academy.

I am genuinely thrilled to have stumbled upon this exceptional corner of the internet, which has been instrumental in accelerating my growth and establishing an online legacy.
