We Built the New Money Channel to 1M+.

One of the biggest finance and investing channels globally. Then something happened that we didn't plan for — and it changed everything.

OUR STORY

How Compound One came to be

Financial and wealth advisors started calling. Same with mortgage brokers, fintech CEOs, and investment educators — all asking the same question.

"Can you help us be successful on YouTube too?"

But YouTube isn't a content play. It's a trust machine.

In financial services, trust is the whole game. But the way trust gets built has changed. People are learning about super, property, tax structures, and retirement from people with a fraction of your experience on YouTube. Not because those creators are better. But because they showed up — and they made fewer mistakes than you did.

THE PROBLEM

The 4 deadly YouTube sins behind every failed finance channel.

We see these every single day. Any one of them will kill your channel. Most failing channels have all four.

01
Packaging

Thumbnails and headlines that don't earn the click. You can make the best video in the world — if no one clicks on it, it doesn't exist.

02
Strategy

Topics and research not tied to business goals or the right ICP. If your content doesn't attract the right people, it doesn't drive quality leads.

03
Retention

Production value and editing that does not hold attention. Missing motion graphics that make complex ideas simple. Viewers leave in 30 seconds.

04
Presentation

Scripting and delivery on camera, supported by the right studio set-up. Expertise without presence doesn't convert viewers into clients.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The trust issue is about to get much worse.

Within two years, over 90% of content online will be AI-generated. Every LinkedIn post already sounds the same. Every blog, every ad, every email. Written by the same machine.

When everything looks fake, the only thing that cuts through is a real human with real expertise on camera.

Personal brand is no longer a nice-to-have. It's one of the last genuine moats in financial services. The people that build it now will own their category for the next decade.

90%+

Of online content will be AI-generated within 2 years — authentic human expertise is more valuable than ever.

1M+

Subscribers on the New Money channel — built using the exact same system we now deploy for our clients.

4x

Average increase in inbound leads for clients who run YouTube as their primary trust-building channel.

THE TEAM

So we stopped giving advice and started building the machine.

Brandon brought the YouTube brain. Ed brought the growth lens. Together, we built the compounding system we wished existed — where one evergreen video you film today can still generate leads years from now at the same cost.

Brandon van der Kolk
YOUR FRACTIONAL CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER & STRATEGIST

Brandon is the face of the New Money YouTube channel. He is in the top 1% of people in the world who understand YouTube and 1M+ subscribers prove it. He's constantly asking: What makes someone click? How can we hold retention longer? What makes them trust you enough to get in touch?

Ed Onggo
YOUR FRACTIONAL CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER

Ed has has spent his career as a VC-backed founder and marketing leader. All while spending millions in acquisition running paid ads (of which he’s now a recovering addict). Ed’s noticed ad costs climb every single quarter and grew frustrated that the moment you stop paying Meta and Google, the traffic and attention stops.

HOW IT WORKS

One hour of your time turns into an inbound lead engine that runs 24/7.

01

You batch record 1–2 times a month

You film for 1–2 hours a month following our clear guidelines. We guide you and make it easy. No experience required.

02

We handle everything else

Strategy. Scripting. Production. Editing. Thumbnails. Titles. Optimisation. Publishing. The same quality you see on the New Money channel. Built around your expertise, your brand, your business goals.

03

Your channel compounds

Each video builds on to last. It doesn't decay. It doesn't get more expensive. It keeps growing.

WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES

When trust is built before the first call, everything changes.

We see these every single day. Any one of them will kill your channel. Most failing channels have all four.

Leads arrive pre-sold

Leads get in touch knowing who you are, what you believe, and ready to work with you. The sales conversation is completely different. They already trust you.

You stop competing on price

Leads get in touch knowing who you are, what you believe, and ready to work with you. The sales conversation is completely different. They already trust you.

Your content library compounds

You stop dealing with people still shopping around. When people understand your value before they call, they don't haggle. They ask how to get started.

4X INBOUND LEAD GROWTH
Wattle Partners (a Melbourne wealth advice business) launched with us and saw organic inbound leads increase 4x. They literally can’t handle the lead volume after we took over their YouTube channel.

This isn’t a hypothetical. This a common result.

WHY WE CARE BEYOND THE BUSINESS

People make massive financial decisions every day.

What fund should I invest in? Should I buy or rent? How do I structure a trust? When should I get advice or work with a broker?

Most of them are getting their information from unqualified strangers on the internet. Not because those creators are malicious. But because the people with real answers aren't in the conversation.

When we put a great subject matter expert on YouTube, their business grows. And the people watching get advice they can actually trust.

That's the win-win we are here to create.
