What they did
Created a new YouTube channel for every product (MagicSlides, SheetAI, MagicForm...) and made videos about that product, because his apps serve different audiences and one channel covering them all would confuse viewers. Started 5 years ago with a poor setup rather than waiting to be ready. Videos keep selling for years (oldest MagicSlides video ~3 years old).
What happened
Credited with growing SheetAI to $2,000+ MRR; a MagicForm video has 145,000 organic views on a new channel; SheetAI videos at ~17K, ~10K and ~2K views. Old videos still generate sales.

- growth
“I made a new channel for every single product, right? I created a new for MagicSlides, for SheetAI, for everyone, and I created content around it, because if you create a single page which is talking about different application, you are just confusing”
“The best part about YouTube is the longevity, which means the video you create 5 years ago can generate sales even today.”
“This helped me grow to 2,000-plus MRR, all by creating content on YouTube.”
