PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!!I bought this course for $4000 and I do regret it. It’s sold as passive income but it’s not passive at all ! There is a ton of work to be done upfront and it’s NOT easy or passive. I was told that I would easily make the money back within the first 5 months but that’s not the case. Also do not buy into their money back guarantee, you need to create 50 videos in 6 months and that’s very Hard to do. Overall I do not recommend to spend this kind of money on a YouTube course.

We do not sell this program as "easy" or "passive."
We tell you up front that it's not easy and that it's a lot of work. It is a business after all. We tell everyone this on the call initial call.
We never guarantee a client will "make their money back" and especially not in a specific time frame.
As for the money back guarantee, you were aware of this guarantee and the 50 videos BEFORE you joined.
Not only is it in the contract you signed, but I also make my sales guys read this OUT LOUD on EVERY SINGLE CALL because I want this to be 100% clear to everyone who joins before they join.
So this is no secret or surprise, you were aware of it prior to joining.
And if you did not post 50 videos, then you haven't done enough and so I'm not surprised that you regret joining. YouTube is a long term game, it's not a quick thing.

Outdated information and I would not…
This is outdated information and I would not recommend this program. The videos are old plain and simple as far back as 2020. Years ago this would have worked, but in 2025 with AI and the advanced tools available, Jordan's methods do not relate to the degree they did 5 years ago compared to other advanced training programs from my experience. I would recommend that he delete this course and make an entirely new and updated structure with relevant information in 2025.
UPDATE - A full refund was requested yesterday, we'll see if he honors it. I mean just read his reply here....guy can't take any form of criticism.
Jordan, I don't owe you a further explanation regarding my opinion on your program. My review stands and that's the end of it.
It's certainly NOT but the best course out there to counter your claim.
If you don't like negative reviews, then don't include a review link inside your own program for people to click on and leave! If you really wanted credible reviews, you would have a Google business link, not Trust Pilot which already has a bad reputation as everyone knows. Do the research.
UPDATE 2 on 3-21 - It took this passive-aggressive dude 2 full days to answer a business email & respond then when he finally did he emailed me preaching about how I didn't follow directions and emailed him at the wrong address lol. Joke. He is very very thin-skinned and reminds me of a classic millennial snowflake. He cannot remotely comprehend anyone having their own views and he will attack you if you say you dislike his program. One of the biggest whiners I ever had the displeasure of dealing with.
The funniest part is that is he can't seem to piece together why someone would have an alias and not want to reveal their real name on the internet for security reasons. I am the first one ever to do such a thing lol.
UPDATE RESPONSE 4-8-25. Jordan who raised you dude? Your responses remind me of some whiny millennial. The email thing you decided to blather on about is simply untrue. Maybe rather than going on some long winded passive aggressive rant next time, just be accountable and learn to take criticism better. Your program is one of the worst I have tried..Matt Par and you are equally lousy...more sales hype and fluff than anything. Once inside the both programs, disappointment and head shaking sets in quickly. My review stands! Now just stop already dude. You make yourself look dumber everytime you respond and defend your lousy program.

Note: This review is only referring to my lower priced "Tube Monetization & Automation Program," it is NOT referring to our higher tier Passive Channels Program which was just completely re-shot in January of 2025.
This client is claiming that I'm not responding to his email requests for refund, but that is because he emailed the wrong email.
In the refund policy it says to email "[email protected]" for refund requests.
I also say this verbally and write it out in the first lecture of the course as well, I say "I have other emails that I rarely check so please don't email those, please only send emails to "[email protected]
He sent his email to one of my other emails instead. I rarely check that one, so it took me a few days to see it and probably never would have had I not seen it on this review.
This is why I request a specific email address to be emailed for support, because I have a lot of email addresses from over the years and I don't check all of those addresses daily. The only one I check daily is [email protected]
As soon as I saw it I promptly refunded him, as I do anyone else who asks.
It would be nice if he updated his review again to mention that it was actually his mistake because he failed to follow instructions, and that I refunded him immediately once I saw it, but we'll see.
Update: Instead of owning up to "yeah I didn't follow instructions, sorry about that." He called me a snowflake instead complaining that it took me "2 full days" to see an email to an address he wasn't supposed to send emails to in the first place. Take that for what you will.
In fact, I would have refunded you before you even asked as soon as I saw this review, but I couldn't because you used a fake name for your review. So I will also say that this guy goes by 3 different fake first and last names. The first and last name on his review is different than the first and last name he used from the course, and then the email he emailed with is a 3rd fake first and last name.
I find anyone that needs 3 fake alias' a bit questionable. But beyond that, I appreciate the feedback anyway.
I just reviewed the course a couple weeks ago as I always do periodically, and I can say for a fact that it's 100% up to date.
My clients will tell you that I re-shoot the course and give them updates for free often.
Anytime I get any criticism, questions, things that are unclear, or things that have become outdated I always make it a point to shoot updated lectures for the course and I will continue to do so whenever it's needed.
There's even times where I've went back and re-shot the entire course and gave it to my students for free when the other one had become a bit out-dated.
I've been doing that for 8 years, and I will continue to do so because I bust my butt to be the best instructor out there and I take pride in that.
The last thing I'll say is it's weird to challenge the integrity of my reviews while at the same time mentioning that I have a link in there for ANYONE who takes the course to review it.
Those two statements are extremely contradictory.
But anyways, thank you for the feedback and I appreciate you for trying out the program!

Not worth the expense
To me, the course is over priced for the information that is given. Majority of the information is available on YouTube. The price tag of 8000.00 dollars is ridiculous. Some of the information is helpful i will say but for the price I regret i bought the course.there are many other less expensive courses out there that will get you the same or even better results. He assigns you a coach who never checks on you or keeps up with your progress. For the price I should have been talking to Jordan personally. Not to mention the cost of VA's ranging from another 4 to 5 hundred dollars a month to video edit your videos. Look to kick out a cool 12000 dollars with the cost of the course and editors over a 5 month period. Just hope your channel is able to cover some of the expense. Which the average channel takes about 1 year to see stability. If your looking to recoup your investment with substantial profit in a short period this is not the course.

Jordan here.
Appreciate the feedback.
Update: I actually took this feedback and hired more coaches called "accountability coaches" who's only job is to check in with every client weekly and make sure the clients are on track. So in addition to our 1 on 1 coaches that you can book with weekly on your own, we have now added this piece where they will be checking in on you and making sure you're doing everything you need to do on your end to succeed.
A couple of things.
#1.) A majority of all information in the world is available on YouTube. But it's surely not in one step by step easy to find place.
Everything you learn in college can also be found online for free as well.
Beyond that, I've been through pretty much every one of my competitors' courses and I can assure you mine is the most in-depth and step-by-step that you're going to find and I update it much more than the others do (if they ever do)
#2.) The coaches were never meant to "check on your progress." The coaches are there to reach out for guidance when you ask for it.
You can do this by booking on their calendar every single week for a one on one Zoom call on an on-going basis forever.
You can also do this by tagging them in the Discord and asking your questions or emailing them when you have questions.
It's up to clients to take the initiative to reach out when help is needed because we have 1,200 clients in this program and that's a lot of people to chase around.
It appears you did one coaching call total, back in January of 2024 (11 months ago). So of course, if you aren't taking the initiative to book the calls with the coaches then I'm not really sure why you expect them to "reach out" to you.
Why didn't you just book more coaching calls? You could have talked to them every single week for the past 11 months.
The course is as valuable as you make it. And it appears you didn't put much effort into making it valuable for yourself.
#3.) For talking to me personally, I do hold group coaching calls monthly that you can attend to talk to me personally.
Beyond that, did you ever ask to talk to me personally one on one? I personally call every single client who asks me to.
But do the math. We have 1,200 people in the program. If I were to do just ONE HOUR with each and every client, that's 1,200 hours. At 8 hours a day it would take me 150 days just to talk to everyone in the program ONCE.
#4.) We are very up front and tell you exactly how much a team will cost prior to purchasing the program, so this is known to everyone before they join us.
We always say this is a long-term game and that it's not a get rich quick scheme. We make that very clear.
Not to mention others in the program have taken what they learned in our program and now make 15k+ per MONTH so I know for a fact they wouldn't agree with you.
So yeah it's an investment but the costs in this business are so much lower to start than others, and profit margins can be very high so it's actually one of the best businesses you can dive into.
The fact is, you only booked 1 coaching call 11 months ago. You never emailed us or asked any questions, it doesn't even appear you ever joined our Discord community where all the coaches and the community and I am at.
So frankly, you didn't put much of any effort into using any of our services, so I'm not surprised that your experience wasn't great.
I just watched the coaching call you did back in January and it appears your biggest issues were captivating titles and thumbnails. In our Discord we have a dedicated place for you to post your thumbnails and titles to get ideas from our coaches and me on tweaks and improvements we can make.
Again, you never did take advantage of that at all.
We are very good at responding to our clients and we make it extremely easy to reach out to us and have us help you, but we can't help people who don't ask.
Appreciate the feedback, and as always I will brainstorm ways to make this program even better.
Thanks.

We do not have a Danish Shaikh in our program, and your review lacks any detail so I am not confident that this is a genuine review.

Think of Jordan like a used car…
Think of Jordan like a used car salesman. He makes a lot of promises and "shows" you how easy it is to make money, but conveniently leaves out the big scale issues with his tactic (if you even want to all it a tactic). Also, it's hard to trust him when he still hasn't showed his analytics from Youtube studio for all of his channels. At this point, I'd say he's fooled a lot of people into thinking he's an expert, but in reality, he's found a niche in the "make money selling courses" space and is running with it. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
Response from Bye 9 To 5Jan 13, 2021
Sorry to hear you are unhappy. First off, I do not make ANY promises. I have never made a promise about it being "easy" to make money. YouTube, like any other business takes time and effort. Perhaps you didn't have the time or the effort or did not fully grasp the concepts or apply them correctly.
Second, it sounds to me like you are referring to my older courses and did not get my new one. Keep in mind things change, what worked three years ago or a year ago on YouTube may not work today. That is why I created the new Tube Monetization & Automation Program, to address all of the "big scale issues" you are referring to. It is unfair to hold me accountable years later for an old course that worked years ago and does not work as well today, when I literally created a brand new course that DOES work today. As YouTube changes, I change along with it to keep everything up to date.
There are hundreds of students who have had success in my programs over the past three years. While I apologize that you did not, just because you didn't does not mean it does not work because hundreds of other student results say otherwise.
Thank you for your feedback.
