Steven Pope

If you had to label a breakout phase instead of one video, it would be when he started mass posting shorts, consistent long form around his 100 million story and acquisition.com flywheel.

So Alex, he made $3 million from licensing his gym methodology, but he had to go in person.

And so he has a mentor that tells him instead of going in person, do it remotely.

Then he went from 3 million in profit to like 9 million in profit the next six months.

He takes that money.

He buys acquisition.com.

I'd be curious how much he paid for that.

$350,000 plus fees is what this says about Alex purchasing it.

So he described it as a $400,000 domain, likely rounding it up to include the commissions for simplicity.

And a school case study post summarizing his domain buying story often references at being acquired between that $350,000 and $400,000 mark.

Okay, so Alex made money.

Then he told his story about how he made money and did a lot of content and then became YouTube famous.

Very different, but still similar from Stephen Barlett, because Stephen made money from his business, leveraged his network business, and then started making long-form interview content.

So two different styles, but both have one thing in common, business first, then content.

Now, here's the interesting part.

If you look at me, Stephen Pope, although I had a 10-year career,

Prior to starting my YouTube channel in e-commerce and Amazon related, I was also two years as a TV reporter.

I made content day one, creating my agency, my Amazon guy.

And so some of you are going to wonder, do you have to be successful in business first before you make content to get famous?

And these two guys would lead you to believe the answer to that is yes.
