From a 12-Year-Old YouTuber to an 8-Figure YouTube Empire — The Aleric Heck Story | Ep 091

In this episode, I sit down with Aleric Heck — founder of AdOutreach, YouTube ads expert, and the guy who turned a childhood YouTube hobby into an 8-figure performance marketing and software empire.

Aleric shares how he went from filming app reviews at age 12… to building a fully automated YouTube channel generating six figures per year… to becoming the go-to authority for high-impact YouTube advertising.

We dive deep into:

- How Aleric scaled from a college dorm room to leading one of the top YouTube ad consultancies in the world

- His step-by-step process for creating YouTube ads that convert (even when Meta stops working)

- Why most entrepreneurs massively misunderstand YouTube — and how to fix it

- The power of omnipresent retargeting, simple funnels, and evergreen creative

- How to build genuine brand authority (not just followers)

- His next play: building software, scaling beyond 8-figures, and chasing the billion-dollar opportunity

If you’re a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur who wants to attract better clients, master YouTube ads, or build a long-term brand — this is a masterclass on scaling attention, systems, and authority.
