I truly love this program. The structure is excellent - with very detailed self-paced learning program that is well organized and easy to follow, to ongoing support with multiple masterclasses every week and a like-minded community where you can ask whatever questions you have. But the best part of the program is the coaching and that's the main reason I joined. Coach Tina is absolutely amazing and very helpful. She gives me honest feedback and has tons of practical and doable ideas on how to improve my channel. She is clearly invested in the success of her clients and genuinely wants them to do well.

I've learned a lot about growing my YouTube channel since joining CGE last year October. I particularly liked the community. Everyone is so willing to help/share. And ever since I had Daniel as a coach, things have been getting much better in terms of implementing all the strategies taught. Initially, things were a bit rocky with some of the coaches I had. After I expressed my frustrations/concerns, I was given a new coach and Daniel has been very very helpful and I'm beginning to see the results in my posts on my brand new YouTube channel! This is giving me a ray of hope I really appreciate that!

Working with Jimmy has been such a game-changer for me.

What stands out the most is how deeply in tune he is with his clients. He genuinely listens, understands where you’re at, and shows a level of empathy that’s rare to find. You never feel like you’re just following a generic strategy — everything feels personalised and aligned.

He has this incredible ability to break down complex YouTube strategy into something simple yet powerful. Almost every session brings a “light bulb” moment where things just click, and I walk away with clarity and direction.

I genuinely look forward to every coaching session because I know I’ll get immense value from it. Beyond strategy, Jimmy is also an amazing cheerleader — especially on the tough days when motivation dips. He knows exactly how to lift you while still keeping you focused.

What I appreciate most is how he helps prioritise actions in a way that feels achievable. Instead of overwhelm, you leave with a clear, realistic plan that you actually want to execute.

A huge shout-out to Jimmy and the CGE team for creating this amazing program and support system.

I can't say enough about my experience with Jimmy. He's not only kind, but truly cares. He's a wealth of knowledge which goes a long way when you're starting out. If you're looking to start a Youtube channel, CGE is a great place to begin. Dedication is key. I'm only 4 months in, but I've learned a lot and hope to expand my channel in ways that surprise even myself!

Fantastic experience so far. The Shane Hummus team knows their stuff and they want you to succeed, and push for you to do so, which is what a coach is paid for. Tina Leder is my assigned coach and she is fantastic. She keeps me focused on what's important since I tend to be a little ADHD, she answers my questions and she has helped me pivot topics and spent lots of time giving helpful suggestions. The program is not cheap, but if you are serious about succeeding, this is the one I'd start with.

Tina was awesome! She gave me great ideas on where to go next. She gave me feedback on my thumbnails and titles. I just got back from vacation and found I had two videos that went viral and got me into the Youtube Partnership Program. I was unsure of what to do next and Tina provided me a great roadmap on how to proceed.

I was sold this program being promised that "85%" of members of CGE make 2-5k within the first 6 months. Then one of the very first onboarding meetings one of the coaches tells me that members make 2-5k after their first 6 months. Immediately I thought this was a scam. And I got scared and nervous, but I continued anyways. One of the first assignments is to find out what your channel is going to be about and discuss with one of the coaches. In all caps it says "YOU CANT MOVE ON FROM THIS MODULE UNTIL YOU KNOW EXACTLY ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL." I thought I found my niche and discussed it with their "client success manager." He said it was a good niche and we could go from there. Fast forward to me having all my assignments done, I have less than 100 subs and I'm being told they will extend the program for me and I can have a meeting with Shane. I meet with Shane and we discuss my channel, turns out, over 40 videos later, I AM NOT NICHED DOWN ENOUGH. Which was one of the FIRST assignments I had to do and COULD NOT MOVE ON until my coach and I figured out a niche. Okay so now with the extension I can figure it out? I keep posting videos consistently but the consistency dies because I don't know what I need to be doing. I have another meeting "oh its cause you're not posting consistently." But I'm running out of ideas and have no idea what videos I need to do because even after my meeting with Shane we never locked down a niche for me. They extend my program again, but not before trying to upsell me double the money when I told them I couldn't even afford this program to pay it in full. after a little less than a year I reached 100 subs. Then I start joining the group meetings, they audit my channel, and he says, "stop posting consistently cause you have that down, now you need to focus on making really good videos that's how you'll grow." Oh okay, I was told a few months back I need to post consistently and that's why I'm not growing. Then I have more meetings with more coaches, and a lot of them are starting to contradict each other about videos and thumbnails. I then have another upsell meeting, which, I felt like they forgot I was making payments that I couldn't even afford to pay for this program, and they end up extending the program again and are bringing on a brand new coach that maybe can give me some direction. I have a meeting with this new coach, and after a year and a half of being in this program I felt like I had the most productive meeting about what my niche should be. Then I had one more upsell meeting where I am also being told that this program is about how to do YouTube and not necessarily all about the business side. they told me they would give me until the end of the month to be in the program but by that time, every message I sent on the discord channel would get one response by one coach at 3am.

I wanted to like this program, and I wanted to be successful, the tips that the coaches give about technical things like how to do the thumbnail, how to edit were really good, but I wouldn't have taken out a loan of 5,000 just to learn editing.

I'm just really disappointed that I spent so much time and effort to leave this program feeling like nobody could really help me, they just wanted my money, money that I do not have. Because there were extensions, but the advice that was given everything was so contradictory.

Update and response: I emailed out to them like they suggested, and they told me they would forward it to Murray, the customer success manager. That was going on 4 weeks ago. They got their money and weren't interested on solving anything other than trying to get me to pay them more money. Of course the exact wording wasn't in my discord chat, it was in the given assignments which I looked back on were updated this year. That's interesting, I wonder what could have been edited out. And after a year and a half of extensions by the time I was done with the program I had 450 subs and no clients. I also find it interesting that I talked with Murray in the future? September 9th 2026 isn't here yet, so not sure what that's about. I left the program at the end of May, actually before because again, I would get one coach to respond to me at 3am. There was also no denying that the information I was given was contradictory, so imagine dropping 5k and all the coaches tell you to do something different.

If you are trying to grow a YouTube channel this is a great step by step course that offers everything from instruction on editing and thumbnails to what makes a good video to business strategy. I made videos for a long time and was not successful. With the direction of Daniel, On Shane’s team, (who is beyond a pleasure to work with), just this week I uploaded a video that has gone to 265k views in two days. Before that my videos were under 100 views each. It’s an investment but worth it if you are trying to actually make it on YouTube.

The community is great, the content is great and the coaches are all experienced and nice to work with. No sleazy vibes here, just helpful info. Shout out to Daniel S for his weekly business masterclasses; these go beyond just the YT monetization aspect. Thank you Daniel!

The content is packed full of actionable steps. I am impressed with the information and how it is different from the "usuall content". Shane has a way of explaining how to make youtube sucessfull by showing examples and using metaphores. A great way of teaching so it sticks with you.

I've had an amazing experience in the Content Growth Engine VIP program. I go to live weekly sessions on strategy and video editing to learn and discuss specifics I'm seeing, watch course recordings in my own time, and have 1:1 coaching calls with Jimmy. He's been spot on helping me create attention grabbing titles, thumbnails, and intros with a strong hook. I love the focus on moving into action quickly, knowing that progress comes from doing and iterating. I'm excited that one of my videos has 29X the number of views compared to subscribers and still growing.

I love this CGE program it’s very helpful for me, who’s not good in English and low tech skills, and want to start YouTube channel to share my life experience and more.
Thank you , Jimmy , Shane, and CGE team.

I really appreciate Adryan Nopre for his help despite the time difference and our busy schedules. I would definitely have left a lower review if he hadn't stepped in and tried to help.

Five cheers for Jimmy Marshall, my CGE coach who makes scaling the significant learning curve for a non-techie person like myself much easier. His compassionate motivation and strong knowledge of the content and industry are stellar. The information and motivation from the CGE program is impressive, be prepared to dedicate time and energy and you will get your money's worth.

Jimmy Marshall's editing classes at Shane Hummus' coaching program have brought my skills up from ZERO to where I can edit a vid in under 10 minutes and make it look professional. The method they teach and the personalized teaching are invaluable.

I decided to go all-in on being my own boss, but was frustrated that I was putting in a lot of effort but getting little traction. Not only do I get a solid plan with CGE, I am part of a community and get advice from coaches who have actually made it on YouTube. I am now on track to do this full time.

Just having direction on how to get started means a lot. This team has a lot of heart and truly will do their best to get people going. The only thing I'd do differently is on me. I'd learn the tools first before signing up because learning what software to use followed by how to use the software took up too much valuable time that could have been used in learning how to craft a product.

I so appreciate my coach Tina. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. During my time in the program I have encountered a lot of distraction, Tina doesn't make me feel bad about life happening and she is so willing to make adjustment. The content is pretty easy to understand and follow. I haven't been able to dedicate the amount of time I wish I could but working with my coach and following the program; I still believe I'll be successful.

I'd have to say that Jimmy was incredibly helpful. He knew exactly where I was at in the CGE process; he knew exactly I how to 'game-plan' moving forward; also, Jimmy help me think through 'call to actions' and 'offer' ideas and strategies as well as what needs to be accomplished to get there. I look forward to my next call with Jimmy.

I’m still in the beginning stages of CGE, and I'm sure I'll be adding to this review or leaving a second one once I’m in the zone. So far, the Courses, tools and tips shared from member to member, the masterclasses, and personal support I’ve experienced have been invaluable.

The coaches/experts available to us have provided more than enough proof that I will be successful, as long as I do my part. Everyone on the CGE team, including Shane, knows each of us individually, at least a little. They clearly want us each to succeed, and they will do everything they can to help us reach and exceed our goals.

I recently attended my second YouTube business masterclass with Daniel Smylie, and the content he taught in each was well crafted, enlightning useful, and simple enough to begin executing on immediately.

I’ve also attended a few of Murray Frost’s masterclasses, which each showcased his diverse experience and knowledge in several branches of the YouTube space.

I’m just about to record and post my first video to my new channel, and although I’ve had to start at a slower pace than I’d like, that pace is about to accelerate rapidly.

If you can’t tell, I’m super excited, I’m motivated, and I’m so glad I decided to become part of this special community. The community is inspiring to be working alongside and I’ll be a part of CGE for as long as it exists, even after my time in the official program ends.

When I watch content about how to grow on YouTube from similar channels on the platform, one that is incredibly popular and does have a lot of good advice and proven methods, although they are incredibly enthusiastic and seem to give valuable information for free, before I joined the CGE community, those channels actually made me feel LESS capable of making any kind of difference in the community I am here to help.

Shane is by no means gatekeeping, but he and his team have worked hard, and put in so many hours to create tools and support systems that are unique to CGE, that they deserve to be compensated very well for the information inside the program. It goes so far beyond algorithm, keywords, trends and everything else easily found with nothing more than a little time and research.

Before joining CGE, that other advice felt so noisy and general that I started to actually feel LESS capable of bringing value to the specific group of people that I care about through the YT platform.

I’d still be dreaming and not taking action if it weren’t for the team at CGE. Nothing even comes close.
