Best YouTube Marketing Community
Hi everyone, I'm Lana Liquity and I joined the Content Revenue Lab because my goal this year is to get 100 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I've had it for several years but I haven't really worked on getting a lot more subscribers and I joined the Content Revenue Lab so I can hit my goal of getting 100 subscribers before the end of this year so I can increase the number of people who see my podcast, Self Publishing for Professionals. Being a member in Dez's Content Revenue Lab has been like, if I said incredible, I would be downplaying it. Dez drops the best information in little bites so you can follow along and easily implement the action steps he tells you to take. And it's all from his experience. It's not inflated, it's not fluffed, and it's not BS. This is what Dez uses to get his YouTube channel more subscribers, more views, and get the right people to his channel. And these are effective practices that work. If you are looking to get the right subscribers to your YouTube account and want to take those subscribers and convert them into paying clients on Skoll, you should join the Content Revenue Lab. The Content Revenue Lab is not for people who are using YouTube as a hobby or just playing around with videos and throwing them up there. The Content Revenue Lab is for serious people who want to generate serious business and generate the right traffic to their platform, to their Skoll community, and to their YouTube channel.

My favorite community about YouTube on Skool.
My favorite community about YouTube on Skool. What I love the most about Content Revenue Lab, that Des, the founder & host, is very responsive to any questions YT related, he shares everything and does hold back. Not only that, but his answers are real and practical, easy to implement. Des's presentation at the Community Clinic event in my community on YouTube was one of the most popular ones. If you have YT channel, or planning one, to help you grow your business, then I highly recommend you join Content Revenue Lab.

I joined The Content Revenue Lab because Des teaches YouTube strategy in a way that finally feels simple and doable. The community is built for creators 40+ who want to learn the same systems he used to build a full-time income from a smaller YouTube audience. What drew me in was the way Des explains things. His approach is different from so many other creators I have learned from. He breaks down YouTube strategy in a way that makes sense, without making you feel overwhelmed. Des is a phenomenal instructor. He truly knows his stuff, but what stands out even more is how much he cares about his members. He is willing to go above and beyond to help people understand, take action, and grow. Since joining The Content Revenue Lab, I have grown in how I think about my YouTube content, but also how I think about my business overall. I now have a clearer way to strategize, create, and move forward. Thank you, Des, for all that you do.

Lisa makes budgeting and building wealth an adventure rather than a mundane anxiety inducing stress. Creating a place for every dollar before it hits the account is becoming a fun exercise. And to have a fun money account while building an emergency fund and paying down debt is such a fun concept! So grateful for the iDatemoney wealth accelerator program! Don't wait for a better time! Start now - no matter if you're broke, if you're financially stable, etc. It's worth the investment!

A Space That Changed How I See Money
I have been in a lot of spaces that talk about money, but this community feels different because it does not just give advice, it changes the way I relate to money. This space helped me look at my numbers with more courage and that alone has been a huge shift for me. I have also seen how valuable it is to be in a room where women are not hiding from their finances, but learning how to face them and take ownership of them.

This is NOT just financial strategy… and that’s exactly why it works.
This is NOT just financial strategy… and honestly, that’s exactly why it works. Lisa doesn’t just help you “manage money.” She helps you face it. For me, the biggest shift has been me no longer avoiding my debt. And that alone changed everything. I realized how much my lack of attention was actually fueling the problem. I wasn’t paying attention to what I was buying, how much it was, or even the money coming in in my favor. I was just… floating through it. Lisa doesn’t let you do that. Her approach goes deeper than numbers. The way she uses scent to anchor into the nervous system is something I’ve never experienced before. It creates this sense of calm and groundedness that makes it feel safe to actually look at your finances without having an anxiety attack or shutting down. And from there, things start to click. She helps you put into place systems that help you to clearly see what’s coming in, what’s going out with intention, and what’s been sneaking out the back door without you even realizing it. But the part I love most is that she brings the kind of tough love that doesn’t let you show up with the same excuses that have kept you stuck. Not in a harsh way… in a you’re-ready-for-more-than-this kind of way. If you’re looking for another budgeting system, this isn’t it... but if you’re ready to actually change your relationship with money and stop hiding from it… Lisa and The Smell of Money is where you start.
