## Resource

If you're chasing views, likes, and subscribers, you're optimizing for the wrong thing. Aleric Heck, founder of AdOutreach and author of Video Authority , joins Tom Schwab to break down how to use video — on YouTube and beyond — as a genuine client acquisition system. Aleric shares his firsthand proof: a 600K-subscriber channel generated far less revenue than an 83K-subscriber channel built intentionally for ideal clients. The lesson? Start with the end in mind, show up consistently, and build authority that actually pays.
