I came across some thoughts where people suggest that earning from video training or mentoring alone makes a YouTuber trader not a successful trader. If they were such successful traders, why would they be earning from YouTube? However, in the forex trading business, it’s almost an obligation for a trader to follow a structured journey, as this process collectively defines the true essence of a real trading business.
1. Master the Art of Trading
The main foundation of success is to master trading strategies and develop the discipline to earn profits consistently.
This phase is about self-growth, learning market dynamics, and making a track record of regular success.
2. Establish Public Presence
Once a trader starts making consistent profits, the next logical step is to go public. Starting a YouTube channel or doing live trade streaming shows their skills and builds trust. Sharing free training videos helps create credibility, gain followers, and make a name in the trading community.
3. Partner with Brokerages
After building a good follower base, traders can partner with brokerages as an Introducing Broker (IB). Followers who open accounts through their referral links help them earn commissions, creating a stable and scalable income stream.This stage supports trading income and uses the community built earlier.
4. Prepare and Launch Educational Courses
Finally, traders can make advanced training courses that include strategies, mentoring, and personal guidance for new traders.
At this stage, their good reputation and proven record ensure that people will buy their educational products.
I hope this explanation will clear your doubts about how traders develop multiple income streams while still being successful. It is a natural way forward in the trading field, mixing personal expertise with community building and good partnerships.
As for me, I am almost ready to start Phase 2.
No matter how much you earn, always strive to expand your business and conquer all stages of the trading journey!
