Your YouTube Growth, Supercharged.

You can have the best educational materials in the world at your fingertips, but when you’re dealing with something as arduous as building a successful YouTube channel - which takes years of consistent hard work and improvement - the more support you have, the better. 

Why? 

Ultimately, a course on its own still needs you to do the work yourself. 

Look at it this way. 

• I can teach you everything I know about how to create incredible videos that hook your viewers and keep them watching. 
• I can teach you how to create exciting and engaging titles and thumbnails that catch people’s attention and make them want to click on your videos. 
• I can even teach you to build a brand people will fall in love with; one that turns your audience into a loyal following who look forward to your videos each week and who desperately want more of your content. 

But if I just teach you those things and then you’ve got to figure out how to actually apply what you’ve learned to the content you’re creating, how do you know that you’re getting it right? 

Being a YouTuber is an incredibly time-consuming process, where the best of the best know that every second they pump into their YouTube channel guarantees them some kind of a return. 

You can know all of the right steps to take, but if you’re not executing on them correctly then there’s every chance you’re just pouring more of your time down the drain - and even worse, that you’re doing so while you think you’re nailing it every step of the way.

Yes, there’s an abundance of insight, information and guidance out there on YouTube which you can use to guide you, but you still have to be able to spare enough time to parse through it all, to know the right questions to ask and to know how to apply changes to the content you’re creating - without doubling the amount of time you’re putting into YouTube already. 

What do you do if you have a team of people working with you on your channel, but you don’t know everyone can level up their abilities so you’re producing really high-level content which will maximise your chances of growing on YouTube? 

It all boils down to this: 

Without support, you’re on your own trying to get everything right and trying to figure out what’s happened when things don’t go as planned.

Everyone knows that growing on YouTube takes time. My team and I want to help you get the highest return on yours.

If we haven’t met before - Hi, my name’s Ali 👋

I started making YouTube videos in 2017, while in my final year of medical school at Cambridge University.

I started off with 0 views, 0 subscribers and $0 in revenue. I knew absolutely nothing about filming, editing or publishing videos, but after watching hundreds of tutorials, I figured out the basics.

 18 months later, my YouTube channel reached 100,000 subscribers and was making as much money as my full-time job working as a doctor.

Two years later, I hit 1 million subscribers, $1m in annual revenue, and finally made the decision to quit my day job.

Now, I’ve been a Part-Time YouTuber for nearly 6 years. My channel’s grown from zero to 4.4 million subscribers, and I have a team of 12 full-time employees and a huge network of amazing freelancers who work with me to help people build a life they love through inspiring, educational content.  

I have a podcast with almost 300k monthly downloads and a combined following of over 1 million people on other social media platforms.

I genuinely look forward to Mondays, working with a team of amazing creatives, and doing what I love, with a lot of freedom, fun and flexibility. I get messages every day from people saying my videos have changed their lives. I’ve even written my first book, due to be published by Penguin later this year.

Last year my business made $4.5 million in revenue. 

This year, we made almost $2 million in 3 months. 

And I make more money in a single year than I would’ve made in two decades working as a doctor. 

You might have a unique perspective or an unfair advantage over the competition but the sheer standard of the content being created on YouTube these days has never been higher. 

So if we want to creating videos that people find valuable, we need to ask a couple of questions: 

• How can we be sure we’re creating value for an audience that they can’t find somewhere else? 
• How can we persuade people to click on our videos in the first place?
• How do we convince someone to subscribe to see more of our content? 
• How can we continuously improve the content we’re creating so that we become one of those people who stands out with a strong brand and a bought-in audience?

The biggest channels on YouTube often have an entire team of people behind them focusing full-time on one pursuit (think pro editors, thumbnail designers, scriptwriters, strategists etc.). 

You’ve got to compete with the pros - but if you’re doing this alone or in a small team, you’ve got to compete with the pros in every direction and on every aspect of your video production. 

You can’t do a degree in thumbnail production (yet) but there are professionals out there who could probably give an entire university level course on everything they know about thumbnails. 

The same goes for each discipline involved in a successful YouTube channel. 

What if you could learn directly from professionals like this? 

What if you could put your thumbnails in front of them, and have them tell you what they’d improve? How they’d think about your thumbnails to make them world class? 

And what if it wasn’t just your thumbnails… Imagine if you could work with full-time professionals who are among the best in the world at:

Imagine you could sit with each of these experts once per week (if you wanted to) and ask them questions specific to what you’re working on, the last video you filmed, the thumbnail you can’t figure out, or the product you’re trying to launch - and to have them right by your side to help guide you through all of these decisions. 

You could make sure that the strategy you’re implementing has been approved or that you’ve had an eagle-eye look at your most recent edit so that you’re effectively being mentored through each step of your YouTube process from start to finish. 

Sound good? 

The Part-Time YouTuber Accelerator probably isn't a good fit for you if -  You're not willing to put in the time and effort to commit to making videos for the long term. 

1. 1. You're looking for a magic bullet that'll get your channel to grow without any effort. There's no secret here. It's just about putting in the work, doing it consistently, and stacking the deck in your favour in whatever way you can.
   2. You're hoping that starting a YouTube channel will be a get-rich-quick scheme. Again, that's not how it works. There are no shortcuts.
   3. You're looking for a guaranteed path to 10k, 100k, or 1M subscribers. There are no guarantees in this game. It's like signing up for a writing course and expecting to have 1M readers per month for your blog, or 100,000 sales of your book. That's not how it works. We'll teach you the systems and processes that have worked for us and our students, and we’ll be there to guide you for the next 12 months of your journey through any challenges you face, but we obviously can't 'guarantee' any specific result.
   4. You’re looking for a bespoke, done-for-you service where we create your strategy for you or supply you with scripts or thumbnail/title ideas or other finished products. In the Accelerator, we’re trying to tee you up with as much expertise, input, guidance and assistance as possible, but we can’t give you the answers. There are people out there who you can work with who’ll create these finished products for you (and we can help you find them), but that’s not what this Accelerator is intended to be.

Again, the one thing we can guarantee is that if you create useful videos, publish consistently, and do this for 2 years, your life will change. And we'll be by your side until you're halfway there. 

A curriculum of over 20 hours of educational material designed to teach you everything I know about growing a YouTube channel.

This includes:

Throughout my journey over the last 6 years, I’ve had constant questions from other creators asking about how I grew my own channel as a Part-Time YouTuber. So in 2020, I started the Part-Time YouTuber Academy as a way to help creators invest their time into what really matters when it comes to being a Part-Time YouTuber - building a system. 

The systems we’ve developed and which we teach in the course grew my own channel from zero to 1.2 million subscribers (with $1,000,000 in annual revenue) while working full-time as a doctor. 

And the systems I’ve continued to develop and use since then have grown my channel to 3.7 million subscribers (with $4,600,000 in annual revenue). All while “working” under 10 hours per week on the channel.

Here’s a flavour of what you’ll get during the 12 months of the Accelerator:

You’ll also get access to all of our checklists and templates, as well as things like our PTYA Workbook - this is a 56-page digital supplement to the course which breaks down each of the lessons into exercises you can use to really consolidate the learnings into actions that will supercharge your growth.

Want more info and a full breakdown of the curriculum we’ll share with you? You can check out our full page about the Part-Time YouTuber Academy here - and remember, you’ll get all of this for free when you join the Accelerator.

In these Office Hours, you'll have an open-source pass to the team behind my $5 million a year business—professionals who specialise in areas such as scriptwriting, YouTube strategy, editing, social media growth, video production, sponsorships, monetisation, marketing, and more. 

Think of this as having a dream team right at your fingertips, providing personalised guidance tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're struggling with the perfect thumbnail, a script for your latest video, or navigating the launch of a new product, the team are there to ensure your strategies are sound and your content reaches its maximum potential.

These office hours aren’t just one-off events; they are weekly, interactive 60-minute sessions which you’ll have access to for the entire 12 months. You’re free to drop in and out, ask burning questions, seek advice, and continuously improve your craft under the team’s supervision. 

Think of it like continual education from industry leaders who are at the cutting edge of their fields, who know your goals and what you’re working on and who have a single-minded focus on elevating your work and increasing your potential.

Think of them as “specialist subject” hours - where you can go if you need to ask a detailed question on a workflow in Final Cut Pro or After Effects, or want to learn about how to get a podcast off the ground, or even if you’re thinking of starting a course of your own. 

Most of the team also work as freelance consultants or coaches, charging hundreds of dollars per hour for their time, and you’ll be able to leverage their expertise every week, building on your previous conversations to continually troubleshoot your issues and level up what you’re working on. 

Here’s what the week of calls looks like: 

And here’s what our Accelerator students have to say about them, and some of the cool things that have already happened as a result of these calls:

This isn't your everyday chat room; it's a space full of real-time brainstorming, information sharing and feedback manned by the team and I. 

Imagine having the power to refine your thumbnails, titles, and content before you ever hit publish. 

No more playing the waiting game to see if something works or relying on A/B testing alone for your titles and thumbnails; in our Slack channels we can give you input tailored to your needs, helping you make those crucial tweaks before your content goes live. 

We’ve got channels for you to ask questions, and channels for you to brainstorm things like titles and thumbnails and to get feedback on ideas and videos from the team and other students.

The team and I will use this Slack group to share what we’re working on, experiments we’re running on the channel and other cool things. We’ll voice note you our thoughts on a strategy you’re working on, record Looms walking you through something visual or to show you how we think about a certain topic on the team, share thumbnail breakdowns with you when we’re trying something new and we’ll shout out wins and success stories from within the Accelerator group as we go. 

There’s also the opportunity to leverage the collective experience of your fellow Accelerator members. This group brings together a collection of content creators, marketers, and business brains, each bringing their unique perspective and experience to the table. You’ll benefit not just from our insight and expertise but also from the other people around you who have made the same commitment to levelling up their YouTube prowess.

Polished systems, strong ideas and great production value all have their place, but the harsh reality is you’re never going to grow on YouTube if you can’t make good videos, plain and simple.

Yes, iterating over time means you’ll improve, but it’s highly unlikely your comment section is ever going to tell you what you could do to improve your title and thumbnail, or your hook, or your edits. We will.

During the Accelerator, you'll submit a video every two weeks to our team of experts who have reviewed thousands of videos and they’ll give you feedback specifically tailored to what you’re trying to improve. 

They’ll look at your titles, thumbnails, hook, storytelling, production value, editing and much more so that you’re exponentially increasing the speed at which you can improve and you’ve got specific and actionable feedback week by week. Our 3,000+ previous students consistently rated this as one of the most useful aspects of our live course, and now it lasts a whole year.

Each month I'll be hosting a dedicated Q&A session where you can ask me any and all questions related to your YouTube channel, content, strategy or anything else. 

We'll have a chance to go back and forth on questions and ideas you have, and I'll explain the answer to your question as best as I can, and try and "think out loud" to explain the reasoning behind it too.

Even if you don’t have questions, you can come to this Q&A to learn from the experience of other people and to see how I think about our content production engine as a whole, and to learn more about how I’ve grown it from its infancy to the 4.4 million subscriber channel it is now, and the team I’ve built around it. 

The Part-Time YouTuber Accelerator isn't the only course we've created to help people become successful, confident and driven content creators with thriving businesses.

So we decided to give you our other courses too.

Creatorpreneur Academy ($799)

The Part-Time Creatorpreneur course is a self-paced online course, with 6+ hours of content across 40+ lessons, where you'll learn everything there is to know about transforming your creative side-hustle into a sustainable operation that's highly profitable, hugely scalable, and ridiculously fun.

In particular, we'll be taking a deep dive into the principles, strategies, and tools businesses use to achieve consistent and sustainable growth, giving you a bunch of actionable + timeless insights you can use immediately to supercharge your creative projects.

Camera Confidence Masterclass ($149)

In this course - with over 4.5 hours of content across 40+ lessons, I’ll be teaching you everything that I’ve learnt about camera confidence over the past few years of making hundreds of videos and coaching over 2,000 students as part of my Part-Time YouTuber Academy.

We’re going to cover a bunch of principles, strategies and tools for being more comfortable on camera, and you’ll see real life evidence of these techniques in action as I take various members of my team through the exercises, and give them feedback throughout.

And lastly, we’ll give you lifetime membership to the PTYA Community, so you’re always a part of our network of thousands of creators, and you get access to our live in-person events and any future cool things we come up with.
