Hey ,
Think about the last time you prepped for an interview.
You don't walk into the interview room telling your life story, hoping the hiring manager will be touched by who you are as a person.
Instead, you do your research from home. You look up, or ask colleagues, the questions interviewers ask most, like "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager" or "Walk me through a project that went wrong." You prep around those questions, what to answer and how to answer it. That builds your confidence, and you walk in as somebody who can contribute to the company, which is a lot more than somebody hoping to get hired.
That's smart. You put your PREP where the demand already was.
Now think about how most people create an online portfolio about their career. They sit down, think "what do I know" and "do I need fancy colors or fonts," and film the first thing that comes to mind.
Nobody searched for it. Nobody was waiting for it. It gets 9 views, and they decide their YouTube portfolio might be a mistake.
Here's how it connects. The questions people report getting asked are the proven video ideas in your field. They're the topics that already pulled thousands of views on somebody's channel, because thousands of people in your industry needed that exact answer.
When you make your own version, you're answering a question people are already asking, with your name and face on the answer.
YouTube just started testing a tool in Studio that points creators to those exact videos, but you don't need to wait for it before you post your first video.
Tonight at 7pm ET I'll show you how to find them in your field by hand, and how to turn 1 into your first video.
Josh Madakor built his channel around IT and cybersecurity careers. He was a small YouTuber about to give up. But after he learned my YouTube method, not even 6 months later he had his first $5,000 month, and job offers from Fortune 50 companies, including FAANG, started coming to him off that channel. He turned his channel into an online portfolio that brings job offers to him instead of the other way around, and it's worth noting he's had a single month where that channel made $186,000.
