    Alexa Milmont left a 12-year corporate marketing career, started documenting her reselling business on YouTube as a hobby, and was monetized in 19 days. Two months and 12 videos later she's past 14,000 subscribers with a video sitting near 400,000 views. We get into the real numbers. Her first AdSense check, what affiliate links actually brought in, and why a cell phone lanyard outsold everything she tried to sell on purpose. She also shares the rule she made for herself after deleting the YouTube Studio app off her phone. About Alexa: Alexa Milmont is the creator behind Shop Style Cycle, where she shares her journey of leaving corporate to build a business on her own terms.

    How to Price Yourself So Brands Actually Pay You More | Spencer Pugh

    Most creators are told to build an audience first and figure out the money later. Spencer Scott Pugh did the opposite — and it worked. In this episode, the tech reviewer behind Form and Function breaks down how one unpaid smart-ring review turned into $280K in sales for a brand, why he treats his channel as a marketing business instead of a personality play, and how he lands, prices, and negotiates brand deals that actually pay the bills. We get into product-first thumbnails, the pricing "three-package" trick, the brand deal that burned him, beating burnout with a team, and the one question every creator has to answer before anything else works. Honest, tactical, and refreshingly transparent. About Spencer: Spencer Scott Pugh is a Roanoke-based creative and product tech reviewer. He spent ten years in marketing and advertising before going independent to focus on his own brands—Spencer Scott Pugh and the more editorial Form and Function. He's a husband, father of two, and a man of faith who cares about craft, family, and doing good work with good people.

    What 6 Years of Weekly Uploads Actually Pays a YouTube Creator | Tasia Custode

    Tasia Custode lost 90% of her video production business overnight when the pandemic hit. One weekly YouTube video later — every Thursday, for six straight years — and her channel (121K subs) is now a legitimate income arm of her company. In this episode, Tasia opens the books: what YouTube ad revenue actually pays at 121K subscribers, the "invalid traffic bug" that gutted her revenue for 14 months, and how partnerships (including ones that never touch her own channel) became her biggest creator income stream. We also dig into her all-Google production workflow, how she uses Gemini as a daily assistant without letting AI replace her voice, and why she says subscribers are a vanity metric — plus the one number she tracks instead. About Tasia: Tasia Custode is a TV Host and Video Producer with nearly 20 years of broadcast experience, honing her skills both in front and behind the camera. As Founder and CEO of Brio Media, she splits her time between business operations, story producing, directing creative, and editing. Tasia is also the sole content creator for her YouTube Channel: Tasia Custode, where she provides viewers with tech tips, app reviews, and a metric ton of Google content. When she's not producing videos, she can be found traveling the globe, listening to Taylor Swift, and cheering on the Montreal Canadiens.

    How to Pivot Your YouTube Niche Without Losing Your Audience (w/ Simple Lucas)

    Lucas built a YouTube channel about barefoot shoes — then a video of him staring at a wall pulled 1.8 million views in four months and changed everything. In this episode, Lucas (Simple Lucas) breaks down exactly how he escaped the niche that grew his channel but boxed him in, how he engineered the "world's simplest productivity trick" video from thumbnail backwards, and why faking expertise got him called out by his own audience. We dig into his planning-heavy production process, the affiliate video that made him $1,000 off one piece of breaking news, and his three rules for creators that fly in the face of hustle culture: be inefficient, be human, and make things you like. About Lucas: The Simple Lucas channel is basically me - an employed, mid-20s, married guy - trying things out that could be useful to myself and my viewers alike. It's candid and human, and is about how we can realistically apply simple habits/systems to better our productivity and wellbeing.

    YouTube Brand Deal Negotiation: How to Charge What You're Worth (With AyChristene)

    What's a brand deal actually worth and how much are you leaving on the table by saying yes too fast? This week, Dusty sits down with Christene of AyChristene, a creator with nearly 700,000 subscribers who's built a full-time career on reaction content across gaming, animation, and TV.

About Christene: Today's guest is AYCHRISTENE — content creator, creator educator, speaker, and creator business advocate. She helps creators grow with confidence, understand their value, and build sustainable businesses through content, negotiation, and personal branding.
