Ali Abdaal – Part-Time YouTuber Academy 2022
The Part-Time YouTuber Academy is where I’ll teach and help you implement everything I know about growing your YouTube channel into a sustainable machine that churns out valuable content and generates healthy passive income. Without you having to quit your job.
During the 6 weeks, we’ll have a combination of live zoom lessons, open live Q&As, detailed individual feedback on your videos, exercises and tasks to help supercharge your YouTube journey while connecting and having fun with hundreds of other YouTubers on the same path.
The systems we’ve developed and teach on the course grew my own channel from zero to 2.7 million subscribers (with $1,500,000+ in annual revenue) while working full-time as a doctor. We’ve shared them with over 1,500 students in 4 Cohorts, resulting in fantastic results and glowing testimonials already.

Who’s the Course For?
- Basically, the course is for anyone who wants to take YouTube seriously. If you’re committed to growing your online brand and putting yourself in the best position to build, sustain and succeed at this YouTube thing, we’re here for you, and we promise you’ll get large amounts of value from the course.
- The specifics of what this looks like can get a bit complicated, because (a) the course is pretty varied, and (b) the specific value you’ll get from it does depend on your YouTube experience level. We’ve tried to break things down (very roughly) by subscriber count. Naturally, this is an imperfect metric, but it’s the best we’ve got to stratify people, so please take the specific breakdown with a pinch of salt.
Who’s This Course NOT For
This course isn’t for you if…
- You’re not willing to put in the time and effort to make 1 video per week during the 6 weeks.
- You’re looking for a magic bullet that’ll get your channel to grow without any effort. There’s no secret here. It’s just about putting in the work, doing it consistently, and stacking the deck in your favour in whatever way you can.
- You’re hoping that starting a YouTube channel will be a get-rich-quick scheme. Again, that’s not how it works. There are no shortcuts.
- You’re looking for a guaranteed path to 10k, or 100k, or 1M subscribers. There are no guarantees in this game. It’s like signing up for a writing course and expecting to have 1M readers per month for your blog, or 100,000 sales of your book. That’s not how it works. We’ll do our best to teach you the systems and processes that have worked for us and our students, but we can’t ‘guarantee’ any specific result.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to have a YouTube channel to join the course?
No, it’s not compulsory but I’d recommend that you set up a channel before the start of the course.
- Do I need to have a certain number of subscribers to join the course?
No. We do recommend that you have a channel set up but in the first four cohorts we’ve had a whole range of people from those with zero subscribers to channels with over 200k. I hope this course helps everyone move their channels forward regardless of what stage of the journey they’re at.
- What experience with YouTube do I need to have?
No past experience of YouTube is required, you just need a desire to make YouTube part of your future
- I’ve made 100 videos already, is this course for me?
Of course, The course is aimed at everyone of all abilities. Having 100 videos provides you with a really solid foundation to grow, monetise and scale your channel and we hope we can help you do that through the lessons on the course.
- What sort of channel is the course suitable for?
The course is not tailored to any specific genre/style of video. That being said the educational channels (think my channel, Matt D’Avella, Mayuko) are ideal for this course. Still, if your videos try to provide value to your audience, the exact type of your channel won’t matter. In fact, I think the system and processes in the course can be applied to any genre of video and we’ll be on hand to help make sure that you feel able to apply these methods if you encounter any issues.
- What is the minimum equipment required to take the course?
There are no requirements for equipment and gear. All you need is something to film with so your phone is perfectly fine, that’s how I started back in 2017.
- Do I need to know how to edit videos?
Yes and no ? You do need to edit your videos so prior experience will be beneficial but for everyone that doesn’t have editing skills, we’ll run a video editing crash course during the onboarding week. Plus, you’ll get access to a free video class – ‘Video Editing with Final Cut Pro X – From Beginner to YouTuber’
