Content Growth Engine Recensioni 

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.

As a mature lady with absolutely zero YouTube knowledge, I started my channel @fitandfabulousbyelle, feeling completely lost. The Content Growth Engine and the amazing coaches helped me grow so quickly, and the extremely professional business plan they created for me is already delivering real results! This program is absolutely worth every penny and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about building a successful YouTube business. Best investment I’ve made!

I joined Content Growth Engine approximately 6 months ago. I had been running my YouTube Channel for 2 years with modest success before joining CGE. In just the past six months I have experienced a significant growth in my subscribers and my viewership has significantly increased. I attribute much of that to Tina Leder, my personal success coach. With her guidance I greatly improved my channel, created a blueprint for continued success, went from having the most views on a single video of about 9,500 to having at least one video attract over 100,000 views. Tina did a terrific job and CGE is terrific. Thanks, Tina, for all the help.

Before joining, I felt overwhelmed trying to figure out how to build a YouTube business on my own. Even though I'm in the early lessons, I’ve already gained clarity and a step‑by‑step plan that feels doable. The coaches have been supportive and genuinely motivating.

Before I started CGE I was not aware of how to optimize YouTube videos for growing a channel. I also would overthink the process of creating content and spend way too much time on a single video. Four months later I am able to batch up to eight videos at a time and schedule them out in a way that frees my time for the next x number of weeks. The coaches are very helpful and direct on how to improve. I am looking forward to the analytics reflecting the improvement I have made.

I'm just starting a You Tube channel, and I love the information in this class! It has given me all the information I need to get started and grow my business, plus the confidence to get going.

I’m finishing the 6‑month Shane Hummus Content Growth Engine program and it delivered exactly what it promised. I went from a complete YouTube beginner to a solid intermediate creator with a working system.

The program offers a large amount of up‑to‑date training, live sessions, and coaching. There’s more material than one person can get through, and it’s all practical.

I put in the hours and made real progress: 100 long‑form videos and a full sales funnel built from scratch — lead magnet, landing page, and digital product. If someone is ready to do the work and take YouTube seriously, this is a strong program.

The step by step training that is provided is excellent. Each step builds on the prior module, and positions the Youtube steps from a different angle than the 'same old' education often presented elsewhere. The training is especially good for those with a business to promote.
I like the contact from the coaches, and the encouragement. I would love to see where you can pick how much contact or follow up you require from a coach, eg monthly check ins (self driven and already quite skilled), or fortnightly (quite new with YT and need regular contact).
The CGE community is positive, encouraging and also very generous in offering their own skills to help other members. Or to give their expert opinions. This is a bonus I was not expecting and it is great to be a part of a supportive like-minded community.

I was a full time college student and calisthenics athlete with multiple external commitments. The CGE coaches told me to create YouTube videos 1 to 3 times per week. I did not achieve the advertised $10k a month outcome.

During the webinar and sales process, I was told that many full time students and working individuals were making $10k/month or more within 6 months through YouTube. I was also told that reaching $10k/month within 3 to 4 months was highly likely if I followed the program.

The 1 on 1 monthly check in calls with a coach lasted 30 minutes, which was not enough time to address all my questions. Weekly group calls were 1 hour or more, but it was difficult to get personalized feedback due to the number of participants.

The coaching often emphasized experimenting and finding your own niche and style.

The coaching approach required a significant amount of self-directed experimentation within a recommended niche, rather than providing a fully structured step-by-step system, which made it difficult for a beginner to know exactly what to execute.

I extracted familiarity with online income systems, motivation to post content, and I became more comfortable with consistency under pressure.

I initially wanted to learn the full system of making money on YouTube before creating content. The offer creation module felt generalized, and I was unsure of next steps.

When asking for feedback on improving my videos, I received mostly general YouTube growth advice rather than specific guidance tailored to my situation or strengths.

My experience was that the program’s pace and coaching style were not well-aligned with my circumstances as an overwhelmed student, and there was strong emphasis on consistent output before I felt prepared.

Based on my experience, I strongly encourage future buyers to think carefully about whether you:
1. Enjoy creating YouTube videos
2. Are comfortable with slower-than-expected progress
3. Have enough time and energy to consistently execute while balancing other commitments

Based on my experience, students with limited time and multiple commitments should carefully consider whether the required level of consistency is realistic for their situation.

This review reflects my personal experience with the overall structure and fit of the program for my situation and is not a reflection of any individual coach.

Enjoyed working with Shane Hummus’s group. The program helped me understand YouTube in a much clearer way especially how to think about titles, thumbnails, and audience interest. Coaches available and ready to help. I appreciated the support, encouragement and useful feedback from the entire team.

The CGE team has been amazing to work with! At the start, we had no idea how to create a YouTube channel, how to make videos, how to create titles / thumbnails - really all things YouTube. The team helped us lock in our niche, develop a process for creating videos, and optimize titles / thumbnails. We went from posting videos with 2 views to videos with hundreds. We are still learning everyday, but have the guidance and support from CGE to make what we're doing meaningful and effective!

We started our journey with Content Generation Engine as our first real foray into professional coaching and advisement for our channel.

Our channel has been around since 2016, and while we had some success, around 20k followers from a mix of produced and self filmed content, we did not fully understand why some things were working and some things were not.

When we started with CGE we were only earning around 20 dollars a month in AdSense revenue. In September 2025 we joined CGE while entering a new era for our channel, and since then our channel has grown to 63 ,000 subscribers and consistently earns in the four digits monthly through AdSense. We are now also regularly working with brands and sponsored content as part of our work and income, due in no small part to the tireless work from our coaches.

Our coaches were often experienced YouTubers themselves with successful channels, and those who were not had backgrounds in graphic design and working behind the scenes of successful channels and businesses.

They helped us with tactics like titles, video timing, subjects, niche direction, thumbnails, hashtags, and every little detail that goes into making a successful channel.

The coaches gave us a tremendous amount of attention whenever we made appointments with them, along with the 3 to 4 live group calls that covered the strategic side of running a channel connected to a business. We were also able to learn alongside other creators at different stages of their channel, brand, and business journeys.

The coaches genuinely cared about our success and channel growth. They were cheering for us and rooting for us the entire time. They gave us personal attention, not flattery, and that helped push us forward as a brand, business, and channel.

We would especially love to give shout outs to Jerome, Murray, Daniel, Toby, and many others who helped us along the way.

CGE really opened our eyes to the power of YouTube and how life changing it can be if you are serious about your journey and willing to be coachable.

CGE absolutely earned its cost back and earned us a lot more in our time with them.

"CGE is a brilliant concept. As a one-woman show without the resources to hire help, I’ve had to master everything myself—editing, thumbnails, scripting, and more. The CGE program covers every aspect of building a YouTube channel, with a team of coaches who offer specific expertise in each area. Whenever I have a question, I get a clear 'how-to' answer that allows me to move forward. The momentum is incredible, and the results speak for themselves. An outstanding program! I recommend it 1000%"

I had been thinking about starting a YOU TUBE channel for some time and came across a lot of people promoting their You Tube Course. Luckily, one of them was Shane Hummus. I thought Shane was very genuine and his recommendations made a lot of sense to me. After meeting up with Lucas (one of their sales guys) several times I decided to go ahead. From the very first day I joined the online program I was impressed. The amount of content and learning videos is very comprehensive. I’m now almost 3 months into the program. The weekly coaching sessions with Jimmy have helped me understand the whole process much better and kept me accountable week to week. Jimmy has a wealth of experience not just YOU TUBE but also how to set up the offers – who to set up landing pages and all the nuts and bolts in between. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is considering it. It has been a massive game changer for me!!

CGE helped me go from having very little practical YouTube experience to understanding the bigger picture of how a channel actually grows. I started from zero, and the program gave me structure around video ideas, packaging, scripting, basically the overall process of managing a channel with more intention. It also helped me think beyond just “making videos” to seeing YouTube as a business.

One of the more valuable parts was learning how to think about the offers I’ll eventually sell once I build my audience. CGE helped me understand that the channel is not just about views or monetization, but about building trust, attracting the right people, and creating a path toward products or services that can serve that audience. I’m still working toward monetization, but I feel much more prepared than I did before joining.

I enjoyed working with my advisor as well, Adryan Nopre. He was knowledgeable, encouraging, and especially helpful when it came to understanding the Holy Trifecta process: how to get people to click and keep watching. Having someone who could give feedback on those details made the process actionable for sure.

I also gained an understanding of how to eventually automate and/or outsource parts of the content creation process when I get to that point. As a newbie, it was helpful to see how the full system can work: idea research, packaging, scripting, production, editing, and scaling over time. That made the whole YouTube journey feel less random and much more achievable.

I also appreciated that much of the course material was shared through Google Drive, where we could copy the docs into our own drives for later reference. There is a lot to absorb, especially when you’re starting from zero, so being able to revisit those materials as I keep improving is a major benefit. The value does not disappear when the coaching period ends; it gives you a foundation you can keep building on.

One wish-list was that the program would last a little longer -- or at least to keep access to their Skool community for a while. Still, six months seems like a long time...but it goes so fast. Again, thanks CGE!

Really 3.5 stars, and maybe even 4 after a recent meeting with one of the coaches, Murray. Overall, the method that is taught and the assignments given are very effective and do help to grow your channel - I went from under 500 subscribers to almost 1,500 during my six months in the program. However, what I expected to receive - more one-on-one support, was not my experience, and that is the reason for the 3 starts. But going forward, I hear the program is moving more toward that one-on-one support, which is great. It is worth the investment if you truly want to use youtube to sell or position your business offerings and you take advantage of the one-on-one coaching meetings, as well the master classes and completion of assignments. And when/if something in the program is not working for you, I found that it was addressed promptly, which I appreciated. Good luck on your journey!
