World’s top side hustle YouTuber mentioned me — what happened next

If Ali Abdaal isn’t the №1 side hustle/make money online YouTuber out there right now, he’s definitely in the mix.

The former NHS doctor-turned-entrepreneur has made millions online by exploring ways to earn money from home.

So last week he posted a video titled “How to make $10,000/Month Writing Online”.

And guess who made a ‘lil cameo?

Yep, your old pal JJ.

Hop to 9:50 of that video and you’ll see he references me by name and posts screen caps of my two highest-earning stories on this platform.

So what happens when a YouTuber with nearly 5 million subscribers mentions you in one of their videos?

Pop pop fizz fizz

Did I wake up to find explosive growth on my account here or a sudden pop of tens of thousands of views on my YouTube channel, leading me to seek out the source?!

Ah, no, lol.

I had no idea I was even in the vid until I woke up to a message from Kristina God telling me about it.

If only my stats looked like this after the mention. (Credit: James Julian/Photoshop)

The real value

I didn’t go viral as a result of the mention, and while I have seen a big bump in my earnings here lately, that’s more a result of my Publish Every Day project than anything else.

However, I’ll take it as a nice feather in my cap.

Two priceless things you can have as an online creator are authenticity and an authoritative voice. You can’t put a dollar figure on it.

My success here has clearly given me some credibility as an expert on the topic of writing online — enough so that someone with the stature of Ali Abdaal saw fit to include my example in his latest piece.

That’s a good sign for the long term.

Things like this let me know I’m on the right track.

Publish Every Day update: Day 13

I’m doing an experiment to see if I can make enough cash to retire from commuter life within 1 year by publishing every day on multiple platforms and investing my earnings.

How much I need to retire comfortably: $250 CAD per day

What I earned on Day 13: $32.94 (writing), $2.36 (YouTube) — $35.30 total
