How to Fail at YouTube | The Silent 97%

Out of the over 100,000,000 YouTube channels in existence, less than 3% have EVER achieved even the tiniest little bit of success. And yet all we see are the success stories. No one talks about the 97% of content creators who failed to ever make a single penny from their creative work. So in this video, we're doing that. This is the full story of my own failed comedic financial literacy YouTube channel: Horse Money. It's also a face reveal, I guess. (No, I am NOT Danny Gonzalez.) Great channels mentioned: Licensed or formerly licensed finance pros: @ThePlainBagel @MoneyGuyShow @YourRichBFF @socialcapofficial Very funny dudes: @Danny-Gonzalez ⁨@drewisgooden @kurtisconner Creator education folks: @youshaei @ColinandSamir Braver than me: @Coffeezilla @coffeezillaextras My other channel: @joshetcetera DISCLAIMER: Horse Money was always for entertainment and educational purposes only.
