Learn YouTube growth — from cold start to a channel that compounds.

Tell Strive what your channel is about — gaming, finance, vlog, niche education — and AI shapes a course around the levers that move the needle there. Lessons stream live, and a daily recall queue keeps the packaging and retention frameworks in your head while you actually upload.

What you’ll learn

• Pick a channel positioning that has room to grow without painting you into a corner.
• Write titles and design thumbnails that earn the click without baiting it.
• Read your retention graph and know which 30 seconds to fix next.
• Decide when long-form vs Shorts is the right shape for an idea.
• Sequence your first 20 videos so each one feeds the next.
• Plan a monetization stack — AdSense, sponsorships, your own product — without diluting the channel.
