Introduction

Vova: Hi everyone! Today, we're diving into how to run an agency that makes over $100,000 a year, or more than $10,000 a month.

I’m excited to share the story of someone who’s done just that — Tin.

Tin is the owner of Fuel Your Digital, and he’s not only built a successful agency but has also been a great help to me with my entrepreneurial journey and YouTube channel.

I've known him for a few years now, and he’s consistently delivered amazing results.

In this article, we’ll explore Tin’s journey and the strategies he used to grow his agency to such impressive heights.

We’ll discuss his story and the steps he took to achieve his success.

I’ll be asking him some key questions to uncover how he did it and what we can learn from his experience.

So, let’s get started.

Get to Know My Guest

Vova: Tin, welcome! It’s great to have you here.

Tin: Hey, Vova! Thanks for having me.

I’m really excited to talk about my journey and how things have gone for me.

Vova: It’s awesome to have you here! 

Making $10,000 a month is impressive, no matter what field you’re in.

But what’s really interesting is that you’ve done this with an agency.

You help people, like myself, who run YouTube channels and need various services.

Can you explain what it means to run an agency?

What kind of services do you offer?

I’m curious about how you got started and reached that $10,000 a month milestone.

It’s a fantastic achievement!

Tin: Thanks, Vova.

It has definitely been a journey.

I’ve been running agencies for about four to five years now.

I started with an Instagram agency.

After some time, I shifted to a video editing agency.

Then, I transformed that video editing agency into a YouTube agency.

Now, at our YouTube agency, we focus on helping clients like you, Vova.

We handle various aspects of YouTube management, including SEO to help videos rank higher, video editing, and even coming up with video ideas and designing thumbnails.

Essentially, we take care of everything so our clients can simply look at the video ideas, record their content, and leave the rest to us.

This way, they don’t have to spend their time on these tasks.

Tin: We’ve managed to scale the agency to about $10,000 a month.

It does vary a bit — sometimes it’s $8,000, sometimes $12,000, and sometimes right around $10,000.

So, on average, it’s around $100,000 a year.

It’s been going really well, and we’re currently working on reaching even higher numbers.

That’s a big part of what we do.

How to Get Started in a Niche

Vova: So, how did you get started in this niche?

What made you choose to run an agency?

For me, I started selling on Amazon.

My business partner found a webinar in 2016 that introduced me to Amazon FBA.

I knew a bit about other models like drop shipping and affiliate marketing.

But what led you to choose an agency?

Why did you decide to go down that path?

Tin: It’s actually a bit of a funny story.

Before everything you see now, I was a freelancer.

Back in 2016 and 2017, when I was about 16 or 17 years old, I was hustling on Upwork and finding clients through Twitter.

At first, I was working as a thumbnail designer.

As time went on, I transitioned into video editing, focusing mostly on work for entrepreneurs.

This work brought in between $500 and $1,000 a month.

Then, in 2019, I started an Instagram page that quickly grew to 100,000 followers.

Through that page, I began reaching out to other people to offer video editing services.

This move helped me expand my client base and take my business to the next level.

I signed my first major client, who was actually working with Grant Cardone.

It was incredible for me to think that I was indirectly working with Grant Cardone through this client.

At that point, I was making a substantial amount of money each month.

I even had a surprising call from my bank, asking where I got the money I was depositing.

As a college student, I didn’t really know how to explain it, so I just said it was from a family member in the USA.

That’s when I truly began freelancing and realizing the potential of this path.

In 2018 and 2019, I really started to take things seriously.

I was working long hours every day in my college dorm room, often spending 10 to 12 hours a day focused on video editing.

That was where it all began.

How to Expand Your Clientele

Tin: Over time, I realized I had developed several skills beyond just video editing.

I could create thumbnails and had some basic knowledge of SEO.

I decided to bundle these skills into a complete service package.

My idea was to offer everything my clients needed so they could just record their videos while I took care of the rest.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this approach was working well. 

By the end of 2018, I made my first two sales.

I turned this initial success into a full-time agency.

My first hire was a close friend whose name was also Tin, and soon after, I teamed up with him.

Together, we grew the agency throughout 2019.

We managed to scale it up to $10,000 a month.

I realized that as a freelancer, I had been working with single, low-cost packages.

To take things to the next level, I needed to offer high-ticket services.

This allowed me to target clients who had the budget to afford such services.

Now, I continue on this journey, building and expanding the agency.

I made the shift from being a freelancer to running a full-fledged business or agency owner.

Nowadays, I don’t work as much as I used to.

My main role now involves communicating with clients, and eventually, I plan to step away from this too.

I prefer to stay involved in other projects.

For the past six months, I’ve been exploring YouTube automation and SEO for channels, applying what I’ve learned from running my agency.

That’s a bit about my journey — it’s been a bit longer, but that’s the gist of it.

Vova: That sounds great, man.

So, you have several things going on now.

You’re running the agency, but you’ve also started other projects.

I’m guessing this is because you have some extra money and time on your hands?

Tin: That’s right. Our agency is now making a good profit, and we also have YouTube automation channels that are doing well.

We’re putting those profits into our coaching program.

We help freelancers and other agency owners scale their businesses to make between $5,000 and $10,000 a month.

I’m particularly passionate about coaching because I enjoy helping people.

It’s fulfilling to see the impact of my work.

While working with clients in the agency is good, it often focuses on service delivery without changing lives in a significant way.

But with coaching, I get to work one-on-one with people and make a real difference.

For example, one freelancer who was earning nothing when they joined our program is now making $5,000 to $7,000 a month.

This kind of change is meaningful for them and for me because I get to contribute to their success.

Vova: That’s great to hear.

What Key Knowledge is Necessary for a Successful Agency Startup?"

Vova: For those who are thinking about starting an agency, what advice would you give?

At some point, you must have had some skills when you began.

For people who want to start an agency now, what should they have?

Should they focus on gaining specific knowledge or skills, or is it more important to have some money to invest?

What’s essential for someone who wants to start an agency?

Tin: That’s a great question.

Many people who join our coaching program may already have some skills but struggle with selling or finding clients.

For those just starting out, whether you have skills or not, it's important to understand what you are offering.

For instance, if you want to sell Facebook ads to surgeons or dentists, you need to understand why they need these ads and what specific benefits they offer to that field.

It’s beneficial to have a good grasp of the niche you are targeting.

Knowing a bit more about the niche than the average person will help you stand out and connect better with potential clients.

For example, I know a lot about YouTubers, influencers, and entrepreneurs, especially about what they need because they work on YouTube.

They often need help with SEO and other aspects of video production.

I used this knowledge to offer services that cater specifically to their needs.

Since I had some experience with video editing, I could also identify good video editors to hire for my agency.

So, when choosing a skill to turn into a service, like video editing, it's crucial to understand the specific needs of the niche you are targeting.

Knowing your niche well is very important.

For instance, if you're targeting real estate agents, it’s important to know where they spend their time.

LinkedIn is a good place to connect with them, as many real estate professionals use it.

On the other hand, YouTubers and influencers are often active on platforms like YouTube and Instagram.

Understanding your niche helps you figure out where to find these individuals so you can reach out to them effectively.

Running an agency involves several steps:

1. First, understanding your niche

2. Second, figuring out how to get their attention

3. And finally, delivering the service.

The delivery aspect is something you’ll improve over time as you gain experience.

How to Land Your First Client

Tin: When I first started out, I wasn’t sure how to scale my business, but I knew I needed to land my first client.

To achieve this, I set a goal to reach out to 20 people each day through LinkedIn or email.

I found that cold emailing worked particularly well for my agency.

By contacting 20 people daily, I would typically secure three to five calls after a week or two.

From those calls, I’d usually close one deal and gain a client.

How to Deliver Your Service as an Agency Owner (Not a Freelancer)

Once a client was on board, I’d begin delivering the service.

For instance, I was focusing on video editing, which is relatively straightforward to provide.

I outsourced the video editing work to one of my team members, and they handled it for the client.

This process is simple but involves various steps.

I recommend that you start by learning how to position and market yourself and how to conduct effective outreach.

Outreach is all about attracting and securing clients.

It's a crucial aspect of building and growing your agency.

Another vital skill to develop is sales.

Knowing how to effectively sell and present your service as the best choice for clients can put you ahead.

I had to learn this skill myself because I was more introverted and focused on creativity rather than sales.

If sales isn't your strong suit, don't worry.

You can outsource this task.

Many people struggle with sales, and bringing in someone skilled in this area can be a great solution.

Yes, you can learn sales, but if it's not something you want to dive into, consider outsourcing it.

To sum up, the key skills for running an agency are sales and knowing how to hire the right people.

With these skills, you’ll be in a good position to grow your agency.

A third important quality is common sense.

For instance, if you're offering video editing services, you don’t need to hire five editors right away.

Start with one and build from there.

There’s a lot to cover when it comes to running an agency, but these basics should set you on the right path.

Vova: I understand.

You’ve mentioned a lot of important points for those who want to start.

You talked about positioning yourself, which can be a bit tricky at first.

It's important to know who you’re talking to, how you’re presenting yourself, and how you can reach these people.

You also mentioned examples like YouTubers who are active on YouTube.

If you know a bit about video editing, that’s useful for finding and helping YouTubers.

Tin: Yeah

Vova: You can find YouTubers because they often need video editing services.

To do this, look for their email address in the “About” section of their YouTube channel.

If you click on the “About” button, it will show up.

This method is free and accessible to everyone.

Once you have their email, you can reach out to them directly.

This is a common way to find clients, and I’ve used it myself.

Now, let’s wrap up the topic of outreach.

When reaching out to potential clients, it’s important to understand where they hang out, who they are, and what problems they face.

If you have solutions to their problems, you can start applying some common sense.

What Criteria Should You Use to Identify Ideal Clients for Your Agency?

Vova: For example, if you know video editing, figure out who needs video editing services.

Learn about their needs and how much they are willing to pay for these services.

There are many moving parts to this process, as you mentioned.

In the beginning, you might even do the service yourself as you build your agency.

Tin: Yeah, absolutely.

Vova: Or you might decide to hire someone.

For example, let me briefly share my own experience.

We used to run an agency that focused on Amazon product pictures and copywriting for listings.

This was back in 2018 and 2019 while I was living in Thailand.

At that time, I had my first source of income from selling on Amazon.

However, I started exploring new areas like consulting, affiliate marketing, and course selling.

These days, I still engage in consulting and affiliate marketing, but the courses I offer are now free.

The agency I started came about because I was already active in Facebook groups, helping other Amazon sellers.

Over time, this led to the creation of the agency as I connected with more people through these groups.

By that time, we were seeing good results on Amazon.

Our product listings were converting well, which meant we had mastered the art of packaging products with effective pictures.

I thought, "Let’s see if others might be interested in this."

Through Facebook groups, I managed to get my first clients.

As I gained more recognition in the Amazon space, especially as a YouTuber, people began reaching out to me.

They asked if I offered services or consulting.

Once you’ve been around for a while and provided value to your niche, things start to get easier.

Initially, you have to find clients, but as you establish yourself and deliver good results, clients start finding you.

Tin: That’s really impressive, man.

I didn’t know you had an agency before.

What you said about using Facebook groups and building a personal brand on YouTube is fantastic.

When you start an agency, you can either reach out to people directly or use a warmer approach.

For example, people can find you on YouTube.

By creating videos about how you help others, you can attract clients through search results and keywords.

Even a few views on your videos can lead to scheduled calls and potential leads.

This approach is effective for long-term growth.

Additionally, referrals play a significant role.

For us, about 50% of our clients come through referrals.

It’s important to ask for referrals, as you won’t get them if you don’t ask.

So, make sure to encourage people to refer to you.

How to Grow Your Business to $10K a Month

Vova: So, how do you grow the business to $10K a month?

Earlier, we talked about getting started and landing those first few sales.

In the beginning, it might just be you delivering everything, even if you don’t have the money to hire others yet.

You might need to do it all yourself because hiring someone else costs money.

But how do you take this operation and scale it to $10K a month?

That’s a lot of money, no matter where you live, right?

Tin: Definitely, I agree.

Earning that kind of money is a big deal.

The first step, though, is removing yourself from doing the actual work.

If you're spending all your time delivering services, you won't have the chance to grow your business.

You're working in the business rather than on the business, as the saying goes.

I really like that quote.

A lot of people get stuck just handling the work themselves, which limits their ability to grow.

If you’re the only one handling everything, you’ll only be able to take on a few clients at a time.

This prevents you from expanding further.

So, what I did was remove myself from the daily tasks in my agency.

I hired a team.

I have a thumbnail designer, a dedicated SEO expert, a video editor, and even a project manager.

The project manager oversees everything and communicates with the team, making sure everything runs smoothly between the designer, SEO expert, and editor.

Then, I usually just check in on my phone to see how things are going throughout the day.

If something urgent comes up, like a problem with a client, I’ll step in and handle it directly.

But most of the time, everything runs smoothly without my intervention.

In fact, I’d say I only work at my agency for about five hours a week, if that.

The key is to remove yourself from the daily tasks and focus on scaling.

For example, if you’re reaching out to 20 people a day through cold email, you might land around 5 to 10 clients a month, which is great.

But if you want to grow, you can double your outreach.

Instead of contacting 20 people, start messaging 40 people a day.

This will naturally double your results, leading to more scheduled calls and potentially more clients.

To handle this, you can hire a virtual assistant (VA).

A VA can manage the outreach for you, reaching out to 20 people a day.

If you want to scale even further, you can hire another VA to do the same.

You can find VAs on platforms like Upwork and train them to manage your outreach, which will free up even more of your time.

I strongly suggest hiring someone from the Philippines.

They generally have a good command of English, and their rates are quite affordable.

It’s a win-win situation.

They benefit from the paycheck, and you benefit by getting quality work done at a reasonable price.

This way, you can focus on bringing in clients while they handle the outreach or other tasks.

The first step is to remove yourself from the daily operations of the agency.

Build a team that can manage the delivery side of things for you.

Depending on how fast your agency is growing, you can make this shift after getting your second or third client.

You’ll know when the time feels right.

Next, it's important to ramp up your outreach efforts.

The more people you reach out to, the more leads you’ll generate.

This is crucial for scaling.

If you follow this approach — removing yourself from the daily work and increasing your outreach — you’ll be well on your way to hitting $10,000 per month.

Vova: That’s interesting.

How to Grow Your Business from $10K to $100K a Month

Vova: What are your thoughts on scaling from $10K to $100K a month?

Do you feel like you’re on that path, or is your agency at a level where you’re content, enjoying the results, and focusing on other things as well?

I’m curious, what’s the current status of your agency?

Are you aiming to scale it further?

And how would you go about scaling to $100K, if that's your goal?

Or maybe you’ve already reached that milestone with another business — what’s your perspective on it?

Tin: That's a good question.

Right now, we are focused on scaling, and we're still experimenting with different ways to reach out. 

Cold email has been really effective for us, but we're exploring adding another method that could work even better alongside cold email.

Like you mentioned, I’m also enjoying the results of my work at the moment.

It's important not to burn out in the process.

Taking the time to reflect on where you are in life and how everything is going is crucial before planning your next move.

As for scaling to $100K, it really depends on the systems you have in place.

For some agencies, like those focused on video editing, it can be tougher to scale up to that level because you might have a lot of people working under you. 

It’s definitely possible to grow an agency to $20K or $30K a month, but to push it to $100K, you’d likely need to incorporate some kind of performance-based approach.

For example, while we don't do this, you could try something like this: if you're working with Facebook ads for Realtors, you might offer to generate 5 to 10 leads for them.

You could charge a service fee of $2,000, plus take a percentage of any sales they close from those leads.

Let’s say the service fee is $2,000, and the Realtor closes two leads.

That could mean $4,000 for them, and if you're getting 10% of that, that’s $400 for you.

Altogether, you’d be making around $2,400 to $2,500.

Scaling to $100K becomes more achievable with that kind of structure.

But the key to getting to $100K is systems — everything revolves around them.

If you want to reach that level, you won’t be directly involved in the daily operations of the agency.

You'll be more of an overseer, just checking in through your phone while everything else is handled by your team.

Once your systems are set up, they’ll start working for you.

You might have several project managers, maybe even a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), along with a sales team handling client acquisition.

At this point, your role in the agency becomes very minimal.

It’s all about removing yourself from the day-to-day operations and also increasing the volume of your work.

In the end, the key factor is how many clients you can bring in each month.

If you’re landing around 20 clients monthly, you’re well on your way to hitting higher revenue targets, especially if part of your payment model is performance-based.

Depending on your service fees, this could easily set you on the path to making anywhere from $50K to $100K per month.

However, it's all about the systems.

I personally haven’t reached $100K, so I can only share from my own experience.

But I’ve noticed that to get to that level, the level of organization and systematization is remarkable.

I’ve seen some agencies that are so efficient that they hire someone specifically to handle integrating systems into the business.

I think this person is called a "systems integrator," and their role is to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently within the agency.

Vova: That’s great, man.

You’ve mentioned systems a few times now, and I completely agree.

To reach a certain level of success in any business, having systems in place is crucial.

How to Systematize Your Business

Vova: In your case, could you share a bit more about how you created these systems?

What exactly do you mean by having systems?

For someone who might be unfamiliar, could you explain what it really means to have a system in place and how you go about understanding it?

Tin: Yeah, yeah, this is a really great question.

You’ve asked a few good ones, but this one stands out because I notice a lot of beginners don't really understand what a system is.

For example, when people like you or I say, "You need systems," they’re often left wondering, "But what is a system, really?"

What does that actually mean? How is a system built?

Vova: Exactly, like why is it there? What’s its purpose?

Tin: A lot of people don't really know, but to put it simply, a system is like a set of instructions.

A system can either involve humans or even technology that takes care of tasks for you.

For example, our entire team operates as one system.

Now, let’s say you want to give your team clear instructions on how to handle something.

You'd create an SOP, which stands for Standard Operating Procedure.

This is essentially a document that lays out exactly what a person in your agency needs to do.

For instance, if a thumbnail designer is part of your team, the SOP would detail how they should design the thumbnail, deliver it to the client, and include steps like where to upload it and how to communicate with the client.

It’s like a guidebook for your team members to follow.

So, that’s a system — an SOP is a system.

Your team is a system too.

In general, I’d say a system is anything that saves you time by working in your absence, whether it’s a team or an SOP.

For instance, an SOP is a great tool because your team members won’t need to come to you every time they’re unsure about what to do next.

Instead of constantly asking, “What should I do now? How do I handle this client?” they can refer to the SOP.

It’s essentially a set of step-by-step instructions that guide them through the process.

You could even create a tutorial video, if that works better, but the idea is the same. It’s a system that saves you time.

Another example is using automation tools like Zapier.

For those familiar with it, Zapier helps automate repetitive tasks.

Let’s say you want to notify your video editor every time a client uploads a file to Google Drive.

With Zapier, you can set up an automatic notification so your video editor is alerted as soon as the client uploads the file.

That’s another example of a system — something that runs automatically and saves you time.

In short, a system is anything you can automate within your agency or delegate to someone else, whether it’s a tool like Zapier or ChatGPT, or a person on your team who handles tasks for you.

Vova: Are there any books you’d recommend for learning about building systems or system thinking?

Maybe something you’ve read that helped you gain this knowledge?

It sounds like you’ve learned a lot, whether through books, videos, or other resources.

But if someone wanted to dive into books on the topic, do you have any recommendations?

Tin: To be honest, I don’t think I’ve read any specific books on building systems.

Most of what I’ve learned has come from experience and from online resources, especially related to agencies.

I’d suggest checking out some content on the internet about running an agency, as there’s a lot of useful information.

I’ll also be uploading more videos on how to integrate systems and tools, so be sure to follow me on Instagram (Tin Rovic - YouTube Agency (@tinrovic) • Instagram photos and videos).

Now, back to systems — it really varies depending on your agency’s needs.

How to Understand Which Systems Work for You

Tin: For my agency, I already had a good idea of what systems I wanted to set up.

But for beginners, I’d highly suggest learning how to use Zapier.

It’s an excellent tool that helps automate tasks.

Essentially, it lets you create workflows where one action triggers another.

For example, let’s say someone asks me a specific question.

Zapier can automatically turn that question into a script that I can later use with tools like ChatGPT.

For example, Zapier has something called a "WebHooks."

It’s a feature you can use to automate tasks.

Now, for those of you just getting introduced to Zapier, it can be tricky to fully grasp the concept from just this interview.

I recommend heading over to YouTube, typing in “Zapier tutorial,” and learning more from there.

That’s a great starting point.

The second thing to keep in mind is to use some common sense when deciding what to integrate into your agency.

For instance, if you’re running a video editing agency, think about what steps you need to take next to meet your goals.

Maybe right now you’re doing all the video editing yourself, but you realize that hiring someone to help with the workload could free up your time.

That’s a system in itself.

Or, consider if there’s a way to make things easier.

For example, let’s say you’re managing client videos.

You could use Zapier to automate notifications.

Whenever a client uploads a file to Google Drive, Zapier can instantly notify your team, so they know right away. 

That’s a simple system that saves time and effort.

So, I thought to myself, “That’s actually a great system we can put into place.”

It might be challenging to think about systems from a beginner’s perspective, but I would suggest starting with some basic resources.

Begin by exploring YouTube for tutorials and guides.

As for books, I haven’t read any specific ones about building systems.

I’ve read many business books, but not ones focused solely on systems.

Since every agency is unique, it’s hard to recommend a one-size-fits-all guide.

However, if I had to suggest a resource, I would recommend checking out Iman Gadzhi.

He is well-known for his work related to agencies and has useful content, even though his focus is more general. 

His courses and materials are worth looking into.

Overall, it depends on your specific agency and where you’re at in your process.

Vova: It’s great to hear about your experiences.

Which Qualities Contribute to Your Success

Vova: Tin, you also mentioned that you work with YouTube automation and offer coaching to help people start their own agencies.

Among your successful clients, is there something that seems to connect them?

For instance, people come to you with varying levels of success.

While you, as a coach, play a significant role, the results largely depend on the individuals and their efforts.

So, for those clients who have done well, like the one you mentioned who reached $5,000 to $7,000, what do you think are the qualities or actions that contributed to their success?

What were they doing right?

Tin: The person I mentioned started in our program a few months ago.

He already had some idea of what needed to be done but was unsure about how to find clients.

His cash flow was not strong, and he wasn’t doing well financially.

In our coaching, we see two types of people.

Some come to us already knowing what they need to do but just need a bit of guidance and support.

They are happy to pay for that support.

Others, like the person I talked about, struggle with cash flow and might need to go through our course in addition to receiving support.

Since we offer around-the-clock support via WhatsApp and hold weekly calls, he could ask any questions he had.

What set him apart from others was his use of this extensive support system, which helped him improve his situation.

One thing that stands out about people who aren’t as successful is that they often lack consistency.

The key is to show up every day, learn something new daily, and ask questions — even if they seem basic.

There’s no such thing as a silly question, especially for beginners.

We never make fun of anyone asking these kinds of questions because we were all beginners once.

For example, someone might ask what to put in the subject line of an email.

While that might seem obvious to some, it’s not to everyone, and that’s perfectly fine.

I think being open to learning, or as we say, being coachable, is crucial.

Many people struggle with this because their pride gets in the way.

For instance, we had a student who initially had a bit of an ego, but he later realized that there was much he could learn from us.

Just because I’m younger doesn’t mean I can’t teach someone who’s older.

If you’re open-minded and don’t let your ego get in the way, you can learn a lot.

I like to call these people “egoless” because they’re open to learning and willing to listen.

In our coaching program — and in life, really — if you can let go of your ego and be willing to learn, you’ll have a much better chance of succeeding.

Vova: That sounds great.

For those reading this, if you're thinking about starting an agency, I highly recommend Tin.

Or, if you’re a digital creator, business coach, entrepreneur, or YouTuber, his agency might be useful for you.

Although he didn’t teach me about starting an agency, he was incredibly helpful with my YouTube content, like creating thumbnails and improving SEO.

His team did a fantastic job, and I’m really grateful for their help.

How to Set Goals to Achieve

Vova: Now, before we finish up, I have one last question for you, Tin.

What are your goals for your businesses by the end of this year?

Specifically, what revenue target would you like to hit?

It would be interesting to check back later and see how close you came to achieving that goal.

I’m curious to hear about your plans.

Tin: Definitely, that would be fantastic to look back on.

For coaching, my goal is to reach between $20,000 and $50,000 a month.

I want to help as many people as I can with their agencies.

For my own agency, aiming for $15,000 to $20,000 is a good starting point.

We're still growing slowly, so I'm not rushing it.

As for the YouTube channels, it’s interesting.

We have one channel making around $15,000, while another one, which we just started, is making only about $30.

It’s quite a contrast!

For YouTube automation, I hope to earn $3,000 by the end of the year from the channel that’s already making $1,400 to $1,500.

For the newer channel, I’m aiming for $100 to $500, maybe even up to $300 to $500, which I think is achievable.

Overall, even though I’m managing three businesses, most of the work is outsourced.

This setup allows me to still have time to enjoy life and balance my work with personal time.

Vova: I completely agree with you.

How to Ensure Work-Life Balance

Vova: I also have two businesses, and I still find time to enjoy life.

I’m traveling and making the most of it.

Tin: That’s really the most important part, right?

Vova: I really enjoy having the freedom to decide how much time I want to put into growing my businesses.

It’s both fun and interesting, and it's been a fantastic journey.

One of the great things about digital businesses is that they allow you to travel.

I've been traveling since 2014.

My first solo backpacking trip around the world was amazing, and now I'm on my second year of traveling.

All of this has been possible because of my Amazon FBA business.

So, it shows that achieving your goals is possible.

I hope everyone reading can reach their goals as well.

Tin: Absolutely. We primarily help entrepreneurs with our services.

We focus on helping you step away from the day-to-day tasks of managing your YouTube channel, so you can just focus on creating content.

If you’re a freelancer or an agency owner looking to grow, we can assist with that as well.

Our company is dedicated to supporting these goals.

I completely agree with Vova about the importance of time freedom.

Right now, I have that, though I’m not yet fully financially free.

Earning $10K a month is significant, and it does provide some financial freedom, but I aim for even higher goals.

Time freedom is crucial, and you can achieve it with an agency in six months or less, especially if you know what you’re doing.

Vova: Perfect. Thanks so much for being a guest today.

It was really great to have you here, and we covered a lot of useful topics.

I appreciate you sharing your insights.

Tin: Thank you for having me.

I really enjoy being on podcasts like this where I can share my knowledge.

Best of luck to everyone reading this.

Vova: Thank you.
