Starting YouTube in 2026? What I would do if I was starting from ZERO

If you’re a coach or course creator thinking about starting YouTube in 2026, stop chasing views — and start building a sales engine instead. Most YouTube advice is designed for creators who want subscribers, plaques, and AdSense revenue. But if you’re a business owner trying to sell coaching programs, courses, or high-ticket services, that advice will waste months of your time and bring in zero clients. In this video, I break down exactly what I would do if I had to start from zero in 2026 — no subscribers, no views, no email list — and needed to generate sales fast. You’ll learn: • The 3 questions to answer before you film anything  • Why viral topics will slow down your sales  • The Playlist Funnel strategy for turning viewers into buyers  • The only 3 metrics that matter for business owners  • The one number I track to know if a video will make money This is not a “grow your channel” strategy. This is a client acquisition strategy using YouTube. If your sales feel slower than they used to… If Instagram is requiring more effort for less return… If you’re posting more but earning less… You don’t need another offer.  You need a consistent lead engine. 👇Grab a seat at my free live training where I walk you step-by-step through building your first Playlist Funnel https://www.trenalittle.com/class _______________________________ ⭐️ Resources Recommended: Join the YouTube Coaching Experience: https://www.trenalittle.com/coaching Get personalized support to create strategic videos that drive leads and sales every day.
