14K subscribers in 96 days


Hi Reader,

96 days ago, Ty Chen started taking his YouTube channel seriously.

Today he has over 14,000 subscribers, and his AI startup, RaisedHand, is growing toward $3,000 a month in revenue.

That didn't come from ads, cold outreach, or going viral by luck. It came from a channel that brings him the right people every week.

Why it worked

Most founders treat content as something to get to after the "real work." Ty treated it as the growth engine.

Every video does three jobs at once:

  • It gets him found by people who already have the problem RaisedHand solves.
  • It builds trust before anyone ever books a call or signs up.
  • It keeps compounding. A video he posted in week two is still bringing in viewers today.

When people have already watched you explain your thinking for hours, selling gets a lot easier.

How he did it

Ty didn't guess. We built his channel the same way I built mine:

  • Ideas based on videos already proven in his niche, not hunches.
  • Titles and thumbnails designed to get clicked by his ideal customer, not just anyone.
  • A simple system so he could publish consistently while still running a startup.
  • A clear path from viewer to customer, so subscribers turned into revenue.

Why this matters for you

You're already building with AI. You have the skills. The hard part is getting the right people to see it.

A YouTube channel fixes that. It becomes the asset that brings you clients, users, and opportunities while you focus on the work.

This is exactly why I started my Arise Content Mastermind program where I build your channel, videos, and funnels for you.

If you want to grow with the best engine there is, reply to this email with "YOUTUBE" and I'll send you the details.

Let's grow your channel,
Ritesh

P.S. Ty went from 90 to 14k subs at just 17 years of age, wild.

Hey Reader, What if I told you a 21 year old is making more than most engineers make? That too, without a college degree? Meet Tayyib, one of my clients I started working with three months ago. At that time he was struggling to make even his first thousand per month. Now his issues were very similar to other one person business owners I've worked with in the past. He was stuck in a building loop. He was great at building but that was his biggest weakness. See anyone can build with Claude...

Hey Reader, Quick intro in case you found me from a Claude video and never actually heard me talk. I'm Ritesh. 7 years in business. Agency, SaaS tools, brand deals, evergreen content, all of it feeding one ecosystem. About a year and a half ago I started Agent Rise because people kept asking how the agency side actually works. Over 200 business owners have come through it since. So I get to see something most people don't. I get to watch what separates the person who builds an AI business...

Hi Reader, This Friday is a celebration of one of Agent Rise mentee's who recently launched his Saas, Redrank. Within the first day of launch he crossed $100 MRR which for most solo developers, is a milestone that takes them a month or more to do. Good job Harsh (hopefully he is reading this haha)! Now I am sure you are probably wondering what exactly is Redrank and what does it do? For years I have taught Reddit marketing as a method of securing clientele for your agency and Saas. And it has...
