from Creator Science · host Jay Clouse

Ben Schlichter is no ordinary YouTuber. He doesn’t do challenges or video essays. He talks about appliances and makes a LOT of money doing it, but not in the way you think. In this episode, we talk about, what you’re missing out on by not using YouTube Shop, how to effectively use your videos to sell products, and when you should start making your own products. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠ Benjamin's ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ *** TIMESTAMPS (00:00) The Appliance Repairman Making Millions (01:16) The Economics of an Appliance Channel (04:20) The YouTube Shopping Program (13:33) How to Use Affiliate Links to Sell (19:33) Ideation Strategy to Sell More Effectively (21:46) What Content Converts the Best?
