🎁 Releasing my thumbnail course for free
|
A few years ago, I read an amazing book. It's called The Go-Giver, by John Mann and Bob Burg. It's a very easy to read short story (roughly 100 pages) about a guy called Joe. Joe was a "go-getter", the type of person to go out and make life happen. And ultimately, to get more of what he wanted. As you can probably guess by the name, the book is about how giving more is actually the secret to Joe finding true success. A common theme in the business/self-help book world. It's clichéd, but true. And whenever I'm weighing up a business decision, this book isn't far from my mind. So when I thought about sharing my Thumbnail Masterclass course for free, it became a no brainer. I made the course in 2024, and people still buy it to this day with barely any promotion from me. I'm very proud of it. This is the landing page. But it's not how I make money anymore. And it will help many more YouTubers grow their channels and increase their impact if it's available for free. So if you want to, you can watch the course for free inside my community. BUT you need to have 5 likes on a comment or post to unlock it. Which is genuinely very easy to achieve, and incentivises some nice wholesome vibes in the group. Happy thumbnailing. Tintin 🫡 P.s. While you're at it, get a copy of The Go-Giver. I suggested it to a friend 4 years ago and he recently mentioned it on a podcast interview that it was one of the best business books he's ever read. |

If you like reading about people’s personal finances, this one’s for you. Because recently I posted a YouTube video called “How I make $288k/year with only 19k subs”. And you hear jacked online business bros (like me 💪) talking about these kinds of numbers all the time just to get views, and you wonder what’s true and what’s not. What does $288k/year actually mean? And how much do I have left to spend on coffees and golf holidays with the boys? When I first started making money in the...
I got 88,000 views on YouTube in the last 28 days. I'm pretty chuffed, because before that, it was about 5-10x less. So things are looking up, and I want to share a few things that changed. Yes, consistency is key. I've posted 34 videos in 33 weeks so far this year. Obviously my YouTube channel wouldn't have grown without posting videos.... BUT, a few things have contributed to the improved results recently. My content has not really changed that much in the past month. The vast majority of...
Here's a nice YouTube studio screenshot for you: That's how many long form YouTube views I've got in 2026. Now you might look at that and think "man, Tintin is such a hero I want views like that too" And you'd be right to think so. It certainly is nice when videos pop. But that's not my favourite bit about this graph. This is: All those little ▶️ icons are videos posted. Week in week out, I kept posting. And it paid off. It almost looks exactly like one of those motivational graphics you see...
