Contentpreneur Academy: Master Long-Form Content Creation

Build a Die Hard YouTube Fanbase Without Having To Spend Years
Creating 100s Of Videos

What If You Could Start A Business That PAYS YOU For Doing The Thing You Love?

Content creation, of all the ways to becoming successful, is the most competitive and saturated which means that it is too the most financially fruitful and highly desired.

Everyone wants to make content for a living. Even entrepreneurs like Alex Hormozi and Patrick Bet-David went all on content after selling their original businesses for millions of dollars.

The ugly truth is & you probably already knew this making it as a content creator today is hard...

Hold the mirror to yourself and you’ll see that:

  • You feel intimidated because YouTube is hyper competitive and super saturated in 2024. How can you make it with today’s creators?

  • You’ve waited too long to actually begin. Your chance to make it on YouTube already passed. You’re better off continuing whatever you have going on.

  • Life happens. You're going to have less time & more responsibilities over time. So, this YouTube thing remains a pipe dream.

  • You know you have to start a business but you’re overwhelmed by all the guru talk promising you 10k/month, fast money (SMMA, crypto/trading, ecommerce and affiliate marketing). You don’t know which route is worth taking to achieve your personal and financial goals.

  • You don’t know if you’re worthy of garnering an audience and have something special to add. You don’t have prior fame or fortune to talk about?

  • You don’t know which skill to learn first and you feel overwhelmed by all the elements involved to creating high quality long form videos.

The unfortunate news, you don’t have all the time in the world to make it. Much like the gap between the rich and poor is widening, so too is it between the successful creators and the herd.

The opportunity to make it on YouTube is still out there but it isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a path that will test and show you what you really want out of life.

It’s time you learn how to outcompete the entire YouTube market in the only way possible with Contentpreneur Academy.

“I can single handily tell you that Michael Drift’s Contentpreneur [Academy] was the most pivotal shift in my YouTube channel’s trajectory… I’ve been posting for about 2 years now.. I’ve stagnated for a long time… I never got the views or the exposure I wanted from long-form YouTube… 3 videos (after working with Michael Drift) Now I have one is sitting at 130,000 views!” - Hasan X (9.8k Subs)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    In Case You Have Doubts…

    • This community is all about accelerating or starting your journey as a YouTube content creator.

      This program presents the opportunity to speed run your skill set in content creation, create a powerful brand from the get go, making the absolute best videos you can and not falling for the traps many beginners do, and future-proof your long-term career as an creator, then this is for you.

      It’s good to note though I’m very transparent that being a top 1% creator is very difficult so don’t expect to go from noob to expert in just a few months. That’s impossible.

    • So, here's the deal: You have seen success as a content creator but ask yourself, are you really as good as you want to be? Are you dominating your niche by making hands down the best content out of everyone? Do you have a die hard fanbase that will beg for uploads from you and type out paragraphs in the comments? Are you satisfied with how long it took you to get the subscribers you have? Do you have security knowing your place in the YouTube game can’t easily be replicated?

      If you like the answers to the questions I asked, then keep doing your thing and congrats on the success! You’re the exact type of creator I’d love to watch!

      But if deep down you know there's room for improvement, well, it's time to face the music and figure out how to level up your game.

      I encourage you to find ANYONE on YouTube making the kind of content I make and you’ll see there is something here for you to learn. I’ve only been on the platform for a relatively short time but my numbers are speaking for themselves.

      Contentpreneur Academy would love to welcome a creator like you and with your experience you’d be a favored addition to the community!

    • I did too. In fact, I had 300,000+ plus followers on TikTok with multiple videos getting over a million views. So, what made me walk away from short-form content well because its broken. Let me explain.

      You can’t sustain a long-term career with short-form content. Creators, advertisers, and the platforms are struggling to make money using this style of cheap dopamine taxing content. To top it off, it doesn’t even build the die hard fanbases that creators want and instead drives creators to do very cheap things to garner attention. It become virality > value and that isn’t a principle for long-term success.

      This was my experience on the platform but you don’t have to take my word for it through. Listen to Mr. Beast’s manager talk about why he doesn’t sign popular TikTok creators. In addition, listen to this video essay about why platforms are leaving short-form content.

      Short-form content remains are low-hanging fruit for creators who don’t want to put in the work to create real audiences and if you have an audience, don’t suffer from sunk-cost fallacy. Walk away like I did and go all-in on YouTube. I bet my previous self is thanking me for that.

    • I get it, when it comes to content creation most of your revenue and leads come from short-form content using your "CTA video frameworks" and “sales closing tactics” after they book a call with you.

      You have to post multiple times a day to ensure your audience sees you frequently, keeping you top-of-mind and enabling you to sell multiple offers.

      However, this is the quickest way to come across as a salesy fake guru and it isn’t even the best monetization method.

      Departure from using fake scarcity in your videos and the high-pressure tactics to sell your product. Instead, think longer-term and create an audience that actually loves the content you make and will happily buy something from you due the brand equity you have.

      Long-form content allows you to focus on creating genuinely good content just for the sake of it, with money becoming a happy by-product. A bigger happy by-product.

      You make more money by being more long-term minded by creating an actual brand. Remember, Mr. Beast got offered 1 BILLION dollars for this channel. Which guru is getting offers like that? My point exactly.

    • I won’t sugarcoat it. You need to put in a lot of hours to actually become good.

      It’s not impossible. I worked full-time while pursuing this YouTube dream. Full-time as a management consultant too if you seen my content, you’d know that.

      The biggest reason creators face burnout is because they exhaust themselves by trying to post X amount of videos per week/month.

      Don't be fooled by the myth that you need to constantly post to keep your audience engaged. The truth is, it's the quality of your uploads that truly matters, not the quantity.

      YouTube success comes for those that work harder and smarter than everyone else.

      Concentrate your time into one big high quality video, rather the content treadmill you’re on. Not only will you enjoy the process better but you’ll get exponential results for your effort.

      Those who are not only ready to make the necessary sacrifices with their effort, time and energy will see success as a content creator but those who effectively use that effort, time, and energy as well.

      Everyone who is part of this community is all-in on the same grind with the same strategy. We’ll give you all the tools necessary to make it happen. But in the end, you have to do the work.

      There are no shortcuts.

    • It’s not the equipment that makes the creator, but the creator that makes the equipment.

      All you really need is a camera, a laptop, editing software, and SD card. This is literally how I made 3 moviementaries by MYSELF.

      It's common for people to delay their content creation journey though until they've acquired “the best gear, laptops, or cameras”. I like to call that cope. They’re just not ready to enter the arena.

      If you have at least those 4 elements I mentioned above, you’re more than ready to go to battle for king of your niche!

    • I'm the only program that sells quality over quantity as the leading principle and pushes you to make your absolute best video.

      This is how I differentiate my program from the others on the market. This program is serving as correction and I hope you see that too.
