Five Videos a Day, 500,000 Organic Views
I posted five videos a day across six different YouTube channels, and here's what happened in the last 90 days: I got over 500,000 organic views and over 5 million impressions. The main thing people who want to be YouTubers don't do is post videos. You'd think you're going to put one video out a week and get views? You're delusional. The channels that get even more views than MrBeast grind out videos. If you want to be a YouTuber, you need to be cranking out content.
I keep a spreadsheet where I track all of this. Today I filmed another video that was 16 minutes long — I'd already filmed four videos, and adding 16 minutes to that put me at 64 minutes of content, with this being the fifth video of the day. Yesterday, I filmed 25 videos. To me, long form is the primary form of content you want to create if you want to build deep relationships and do YouTube full time. You start with one video a day per channel. I have six channels, and I've tested this all across the board. My average is five videos a day all the way back since May 18th.
I started six new channels from scratch. I had nothing on YouTube. In March, I started six new channels, started tracking my videos, and said I'm going to try to post every day to every channel. In the 82 days I've tracked it, I've published 455 videos. This is what happens when you just crank out videos. What you need to understand is that people are always looking for new content. If you want the best chance to get seen, you need to put out video after video. You don't need to invest in trying to make the perfect thumbnail and title. Nope. You just need to get videos out over and over again, over and over again.
The Numbers, Channel by Channel
Here are my public views. My vlog channel has 36,000 views, which is probably at least 300,000 impressions. That channel is not even monetized yet, but we're almost there. It started March 26th and has 100 videos on it — grinding out vlog videos every day. My dating channel is the newest channel I created — it's got 69 videos on the podcast, 87 videos total, and 22,000 views, mostly long form views. That channel was created May 6th, 2026. I had five channels for a while, doing one a day on each, but then I went to six channels, because five wasn't enough — I needed a dedicated dating channel.
Jerry Banfield Games has 81 videos and 16,000 views. It's the least watched, and that's proof this works: grinding out videos works no matter what your niche is. I made a five-minute video called "Worst Hearts of Iron player ever" that got 5,700 views. Another Hearts of Iron video, a Zombies video, a Marvel Snap video — just getting views on everything. My YouTube coach channel is up there with the least watched too, because it's hard to start a YouTube coaching channel from a brand new channel — but it has 26,000 views and 90 videos showing people how to do YouTube.
Then there are my crypto channels, and these have really killed it — they're very much in demand. One has 315,000 views across 130 videos and makes several hundred dollars a month in ad revenue. And if you are a YouTuber, you absolutely need the Family in your life — join the Jerry Banfield Family, where you can message me and ask me any questions. I've been on YouTube since 2011 and full time doing this since 2012. My Crypto Reviews channel is a second crypto channel I made so I could just roast other cryptos — 173,000 views. All organic on these channels. That's well over 500,000 views, closing in on 600,000. And all I had to do was post one video a day to each of my channels.
Some niches are harder to start up in. But where I'm at now, I'm trying to post 10-plus videos a day, because one thing that really helps expand your discovery is shorts. But it doesn't matter if you get discovered when there's no depth behind it. That's why most of my channels have close to 100 long form videos on them before anything else. It doesn't make sense to even mess with shorts until you have so much long form content people can watch — because when someone's watching a long form video, the odds of them subscribing are way higher, the income is way, way higher, and the watch time is way, way higher.
I Deleted Everything and Came Back
Who knows all the ins and outs of this? I got burned out so bad I deleted all my millions of followers. I had hundreds of millions of impressions on YouTube, billions of impressions across all platforms combined — and I deleted all of it last year. I said forget all of it, it's all rigged. And yet I'm back, because I don't know what else to do with myself, I'm good at this, and my videos were making a difference. I just needed a community there to support me. And I needed to not create in a single niche.
The thing that has made this strategy so sustainable is that I've created gaming videos and vlogs and YouTube coaching videos and dating videos and then crypto videos. What really burned me out in 2023, 2024, and 2025 was being obsessed with creating crypto videos, obsessed with maximizing my views and my money. And I hated it. So if you're thinking, "I couldn't possibly grind out a video every day on something I hate" — right, you shouldn't do that. But you do need channels that will pay the bills, and my crypto channels are the bill-paying channels.
Those channels solve a very hard problem, because in my experience crypto is a scam-riddled industry, which I rip on constantly while showing people the one thing I believe is real in it — ICP — and how I believe everything else is intentionally made to suppress and distract from ICP. I go tell people what I see as the truth about crypto, and these videos are very helpful, solving a very real and painful problem that costs people a huge amount of money and all kinds of hours of time being in on stupid coins. So people come in and think nothing of a small monthly membership when my videos are helping them save thousands, and people pay for an hour to talk to me one on one. There's great monetization there.
But if I had to grind out that many crypto videos alone, it would have been horrible — absolutely miserable. If all 455 of these videos were crypto videos, I would have hated it. Everyone telling you to just niche down and be an authority is missing the burnout factor. The more you niche down, the more miserable it gets from a creative stance. When I filmed 25 videos yesterday, most of them were not crypto — there were lots of dating videos and vlog videos, and that's fun. I have about 25 more gaming videos to upload as well. The key is to both have fun and pay the bills if you want to be a full-time YouTuber. I've done that, and I've gone from zero dollars a month to now making over a thousand a month in recurring revenue — around two thousand a month with calls included. And all of that comes down to just cranking videos out.
Show Up Real and Skip the Expensive Courses
Then I optimize and obsess over every part of the process: how do I show up with maximum energy, with the best message, with a thumbnail that's good enough and a title that's good enough — so that when people watch, they realize this guy is a real human, not AI slop, this guy actually knows his stuff, started over from scratch, is building all these channels up, and charges next to nothing to come in, talk, DM, and share your channel. Why would you go through somebody else's several-thousand-dollar program that tells you to make a video about the same boring subject every single day so you can get burnt out — and then have to try to make back the thousands you paid for their course? You could have saved all of that. I've never taken anybody else's YouTube course in the last ten years. I'm not taking a course, because they don't know things I don't know. I've already done all this. I've grown 25 channels on YouTube.
You need to not get burnt out. In fact, you should think about not burning out first. And as soon as you think about not burning out first, you ask: what content do I really care about creating? I get so passionate and fired up about dating content. I love talking about myself — some narcissistic tendency, potentially — but I love talking about my life and my ideas in my vlogs for 20 minutes every day, and I'm really grateful. The vlog channel has been going up, consistently hitting hundreds and hundreds of views on every video. This is some of my best content. You think the YouTube coaching material is decent? These vlog videos are nuts. And I get that there are other YouTubers reacting to them and ripping them, saying I'm a failed cult leader and nobody should listen to me about dating advice and all that. Good. I'm going to keep making more and more videos, because all the haters are making me free traffic. Thanks for the free traffic.
I love making these videos. I have such a passion for talking to people about dating and video games — so much fun. I've even made music; maybe I'll get back into that. Even if I only reach 50 people who actually watch the video, I'm going to try to help people have better information about YouTube and stop getting ripped off by courses that cost thousands of dollars and don't teach you anything you couldn't learn for free on YouTube. In my opinion, they're just capitalizing on your authority bias: "Oh, this guy has all these views, he must know something secret." Nope. He knows how to talk you into buying a course — that's all. And then it's the same stuff you could have watched MrBeast tell you for free, or watched me tell you out here for free.
What you could use, though, is somebody to look at your channel and give you some ongoing support, and I'll do that for less than anybody else. I'm here for you. If you want to post on YouTube, it's as simple as cranking out as many videos as fast as possible — and in my YouTube Coaching playlist, I go into exactly how I crank out so many videos so quickly.
