Executive SummaryAI
Daniel Baton, 18, says his companies did over $2 million last month and closed over eight figures in deals, while he personally made just under $700,000, across four income sources: his software company Creo, his course, his YouTube Shorts channels and content.
His core argument is that consistency is the wrong obsession and quality beats quantity almost every time, but only if you post, track the metrics and comments, and improve on each video instead of repeating the same formula.
He puts scripting at roughly 80% of the work — hook, supporting hook, context, re-hook, payoff — and insists audio and visuals must represent exactly what the script is saying, with wording kept at a fifth to eighth grade reading level.
On his 3D science channel the third video, "why Asians have small eyes", hit 40 million views for $8,000 to $10,000 in revenue and cost around $300 to make, using a Kim Jong-un 3D head holding a subscribe sign as comment bait.
For a challenge video he bought a pre-monetized kids Shorts channel, labelled it not-for-kids so the 40-year-old parents' devices drove RPM to about 35 cents, made $4,000 in week one paying an editor $5 per video, and hit 220,000 subscribers to buy a $220,000 G-Wagon.
