3 Value Bombs
1) 1.4 billion views on YouTube shorts is $80,000. If it was long form content that would be 3 million dollars estimated. So just by going from short form to long form you increase crazy amounts of money.
2) Be prolific. You don’t need to be embarrassed by that content because no one will see it. The algorithm will take care of it and nobody will see it. And if it’s good, then it’s gonna go far.
3) We’ve educated our audience to understand the entire wealth of all of human history is 1 swipe away and the algorithm is going to feed you exactly what you want. So they are highly motivated to leave your content.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How this Former Magician Hacked the Social Media Algorithms
[1:15] – Justin shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Most people think quality is the most important thing, but then they’re going to lose out on the opportunities by waiting for something to be great before they put it out there.
[3:39] – The story of how a former magician hacked the social media algorithm.
- Being a magician is a visual art form. It utilizes secrets.
- Understanding the deceptive side of magic and illusion gave a really good head start on any of the content
- You can hack the algorithm once you just realize all you need people to do is to finish your videos. Then what you need is for people to start your video.
- The very most important factor in every piece of content is the opening shot and how you’re grabbing your audience’s attention.
[7:00] – Revenue streams one can leverage to create income from views from videos.
- Monetizing content through the platform isn’t always the best way.
- 4 billion views on YouTube shorts is $80,000. If it was long form content that would be 3 million dollars estimated. So just by going from short form to long form you increase crazy amounts of money.
- Once you develop the skill set and guarantee consistency to a client, then you can do endorsements and product deals.
- Figure out the platform that is taking your content and paying the most for it and partner with them.

[14:26] – Being a data analyst rather than a creator.
- Barrier to exit is how hard it is for somebody to leave what you’re doing.
- We’ve educated our audience to understand the entire wealth of all of human history is 1 swipe away and the algorithm is going to feed you exactly what you want. So they are highly motivated to leave your content.
- We can see in the data how people were interacting with the content. They were watching the process because they wanted to see the end product.
[18:24] – Choosing your platform.
- It’s really bad on TikTok right now as there’s no rights, they’re going to pay you out for the content only if they think you own it. And there’s no way to prove that you own it.
- Facebook doesn’t care about your content, they care about your page. They want you to have a very healthy page with no strikes against you, no flags, and you can get a flag for anything.
- YouTube has a pure algorithm. You can build an audience fast using YouTube Shorts.
[22:32] – Justin’s key take away and call to action.
- Be prolific. You don’t need to be embarrassed by that content because no one will see it. The algorithm will take care of it and nobody will see it. And if it’s good, then it’s gonna go far.
