$75,000 Per Month Creating Animated Explainer Videos

Joel Young is a voiceover artist and founder of JumpStart Video, an agency for animated explainer videos that sell for $600 to $1200 a pop.

We interviewed Joel a few years ago when he was earning $60K/month 🤑

In a recent interview, he reveals…

The business currently generates about $750,000-$1,000,000 annually, with expenses coming in around 20-30% of that.

$1 million per year = $83,000 per month 💰

Origin story…

I started doing voice overs as a side-hustle to get out of debt.

After a few months of growth, I noticed that many of my customers were pairing my services with video.

So, I decided to begin teaching myself to create videos as well. This way, I could pair this service with my voiceover business.

I started out on a platform called Fiverr 12 years ago, and have grown to become one of the top 5 sellers all-time on the platform.

💬 In our previous interview, Joel revealed…

In just 18 months, we had paid off $50,000 in debt, and were finally free!

And…

Unlike most businesses, since I started on a crowd-sourcing platform [Fiverr], I didn’t have to worry about marketing. In fact, it was 7 years before I spent a dime on marketing my business.

All I had to do was serve my clients well, put out quality work, and make sure my pages were optimized.

Check out Joel’s Fiverr profile, which has a whopping 10K five-star reviews 🤯

Most of his clients come from Fiverr and referrals…

Our greatest source of new business is client referral. We currently spend very little on outside marketing…

Our business is very visual. So, when we create a video and do a great job, others will see that video and ask, “Who created that for you?” That natural evolution is what typically brings us referrals.

Because I’ve maintained good reviews over the years and have increased the quality of my services, Fiverr continues to bring new clients to me through the algorithms they’ve developed to connect quality buyers and quality sellers.

Doing great work really is the best form of marketing 💪

I also like how Joel learned how to make animated videos and combined that with his existing voiceover talents.

That boosted his offering and helped him stand out among competitors.

Is there another valuable skill you could learn that would complement what you already do? 🤔

For example, instead of just offering copywriting services, you could learn how to create high-converting landing pages as well.
