The FASTEST Way to Reach $5K Per Month as a Creator

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

It’s my 34th birthday today! And in a move that will surprise exactly no one, I’ll be spending much of the day reading :)

But earlier today I published a new YouTube video called The FASTEST Way to Reach $5K Per Month as a Creator, and you can count liking the video and watching all the way to the end as my birthday present!

Making $5,000 a month online isn't hard when you know what you're doing, but it's damn-near IMPOSSIBLE when you don't.

I've reached that mythical level myself, and in the video, I lay out the fastest way for YOU to get there too. But, a little hint...

It's NOT the way I did it! There's a much better, smarter way that I would use if I were starting all over again from zero.

Another pretty damn good day! I’m glad I made the smart decision last night and got better sleep, instead of forcing myself to stay up and release a sub-par YouTube video. Waiting until today to touch it up and release it was a much better decision.

I don’t have too many plans for my birthday except dinner with my parents, some reading, and yes, some work! But I’m spending my birthday EXACTLY the way I want to, which is something I haven’t always been able to say.

But hey, it’s 4:36AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
