Stefano started teaching Italian online as a side hustle when he was 18. No formal experience, no fancy credentials. Now he's got 280,000 YouTube subscribers and over 4,000 paying customers.

What's interesting is how he did it. He barely touches Instagram or TikTok. Posts maybe once every two weeks just to keep the pages alive. Instead, he's doubled his email leads in the last year while keeping his views roughly the same.

In this episode, Stefano breaks down why short-form content hasn't worked for him, how he thinks about lead magnets differently than most course creators, and why he puts 60% of his effort into free content.

If you're wondering whether you're wasting time on the wrong platforms, this one's for you.
