  5. Select a profile picture for your channel. (I personally use my business logo. You could use a headshot or a logo, it really doesn't matter
  6. Insert your name and YouTube handle. I would try to make your handle the same as your other social media handles

  9. In order to enable Intermediate features you will need to verify your phone number
  10. In order to enable Advanced features you will have three different options. The fastest way is to provide a valid ID (it may take some time for YouTube to verify your ID, so please be patient)
  11. Then make sure to click save on the bottom right hand corner

STEP FOUR: The 4S Method

Now we're going to create your own personalized Simple, Successful, Sustainable & Scalable Social Media Strategy! 

Here are the steps: 

  1. Open up your notebook or an empty Google Doc or anything you can take notes on
  2. Uncover Your Why
    1. There are so many different lead generation strategies you can use to grow your business outside of social media. Spend some time thinking why social media.
  3. Select Your Target Audience
    1.  Spend some time thinking about the type of client that you want to help
    2. What Problems are they facing?
    3. What Questions are they asking or looking for the answer to?
    4. What Roadblocks are currently stopping them from getting their goal?
    5. What is the Dream Result that they want to achieve?
  4. Write Down Your Goal
    1.  You could be super specific and create a S.M.A.R.T. goal
    2. Or spend some time thinking about do you want social media to be a main driver of leads/business or something to supplement your other prospecting/marketing efforts
  5. Write Down The Platform You're Going To Focus On
    1.  The answer is YouTube. This is the only right answer
  6. Write How Often You Are Going To Post
    1.  Commit to at least 1 long form video every two weeks or 1 video per week.
  7. Write Down When You're Going To Post
    1. This doesn't matter as much. Just pick a time and stick to it

STEP FIVE: Now Celebrate In The Facebook Group

Take a selfie of yourself in front of your computer. And make sure to smile big! 

Go in the Facebook Group right now and upload the photo. Copy and paste this at the beginning of your caption “COMPLETED DAY 1 🥳”

Or if you need help completing the homework, look in the Facebook group for people who already completed the homework. Then politely ask if they can help you. It takes a tribe, right?

This Challenge is to meant to push you out your comfort zone. So don’t expect it to be a walk in the park. I want you to grow

Here's A Quick Overview
Of Week 3:

Week 3 — Creation Ops: “Act Like an Operator”

Super-Specific Outcome

Record one pillar video and turn it into 3–5 ready-to-post clips in Quso, with a simple, repeatable gear setup you can duplicate every time.

What we’ll do live (keep it tight)

  • Power of Long-Form: Map 1 pillar → many (YouTube video → 3–5 shorts → 1 email → 1 post).
  • Quso Setup: Create project → upload pillar → auto-clip → quick trims → captions → export.
  • Equipment You Need to Know: Phone, lav mic, light, tripod, room setup (quiet, face the light, eye-level frame).

Definition of Done (W3)

  • Pillar video recorded (≈3–5 min) and uploaded to Quso.
  • At least 3 clips exported (title + caption added).
  • Gear checklist locked (what you’ll use each time).

Homework (15–30 min)

  • Approve captions, trim first/last seconds, add on-screen title.
  • Post 2 clips and schedule the rest for next week.
  • Save your room setup notes (distance to camera, light position, mic placement).

Proof (simple)

  • Screenshot or photo of your Quso project showing exported clips.
  • Post it in “Week 3 Proof.”
  • One-line caption: “Week 3 done—clips ready.”
