Content Growth Engine Avis 84

I joined CGE after watching quite a few videos on Youtube, and I was sold on this program after confirming one of my favorite content creators was also a part of the program. I love the idea that we can share our unique knowledge on YouTube, but I knew I definitely needed some guidance on how to make sure my content stands out.

It's clear to me that all of the team are invested in my future and want me to succeed. While I'm still working on the program and I can already tell the coaches have extensive knowledge, and after considering other similar programs I know I made the right decision to join CGE. I highly recommend CGE if you want to be a part of this method of sharing what you know. Remember, you only need to be one step ahead and so many people can benefit from what you already know!

I love working with CGE. The experience and examples they share help me understand what I need to do. I've been given the chance to ask questions through the live trainings.

I now know that success is inevitable. Shane's system is so good that success is inevitable if you follow it. Some will do well on their very first video, some might take 50 videos. But for sure if you follow the system you will be successful on YouTube as well as any other platform you use it for. And Shane makes the content sustainable, doesn't take too much time, and than anything its FUN to make!

I work in real estate and probably the program wasn't designed for me since I advertise locally but it worked all the same. Loving it and will continue to use what I learned!

Shane is the best! The "Icon" method he teaches is a game changer for selecting content. I took one of his lower paying limited time products and I'm already getting results that I would have never been able to do my own (and in a fraction of the time). Thanks Shane and team!

Practical and actionable no fluff here-just solid, implementable strategies. I appreciate how they explain not just what to do, but why it works. Already seeing better engagement on my posts after applying their funnel approach to content.

Impressed with the depth of content Expected basic social media tips but got so much more. The strategic thinking behind content creation is what I was missing. The community aspect keeps me motivated and accountable. Glad I took the leap!

With so many YouTube content creation courses and "experts" out there, it may be tough to figure out who's legit. Clearly, Shane's >1M followers is one indication, but not everyone can teach what they happen to do well.

But Shane can ABSOLUTELY teach!! In fact, he and his team give more value for the money than you can imagine! My only complaint is that I can't possibly take advantage of it all!

Shane has recorded the primary learning modules, which are self-paced along a clear learning path, and he adds to the content as new information, technology and consistent questions from student arise. So none of that static, created-five-years-ago-and-never-updated stuff that some courses have.

In addition, Shane's team hosts live lessons and Q&A sessions EVERY WEEKDAY. While the topics differ (e.g., Thumbnails, Video Editing, etc.), they're always willing to answer any question you may have. These sessions are recorded, so if you miss one, there's a library filled with past sessions.

Add to that, your individual coaching chats and sessions for a deep dive into your channel and needs...it's almost impossible to fail!

I say "almost" because you still have to put in the work, unlearn some bad advice and habits, and overcome mental hurdles...but CGE can definitely help with the rest!

The program is really good and effective. The team has been very helpful in pointing me in the right direction.

The tips for content creation have been great! Course material is easy to follow, and the coaches give great advice!

I joined the Content Growth Engine program by Shane Hummus with high expectations because I really admire Shane’s YouTube content. His videos are excellent and the training material itself is genuinely valuable. The recorded lessons were clear, practical, and very well done.

However, my experience with the coaching side of the program was disappointing and very disorganized.

One of the biggest challenges was the platform setup. The program uses multiple places at the same time: the course content is hosted in one platform, discussions happen in Discord, there are private channels, and other conversations happen in separate spaces. It created a lot of friction just to find information or participate.

Compared with other coaching programs I’ve taken, this felt unnecessarily complicated. I often wondered why everything wasn’t kept in one place using a platform like Kajabi, Skool, or something similar with perhaps a single community space. Instead, it felt like constant friction just to access content, recordings, and conversations.

The Discord itself was very difficult to navigate. There were many channels and spaces, and it was often unclear where discussions were happening. It made the program feel scattered instead of structured.

The coaching calls were another challenge. None of the calls I attended were with Shane Hummus himself. They were run by coaches whose experience I did not know, and some did not appear to have established YouTube channels or proven results. Personally, I expected coaches with stronger hands-on experience growing channels.

Many of the calls were also scheduled after 6 p.m., which made them difficult for me to attend.

When recordings were provided, they were not well organized. The recordings were placed together without clear categorization by topic, and they were not easily downloadable. Again, it created unnecessary friction when trying to learn from past sessions.

To be fair, the course content itself is very strong. The training videos are clear and useful, and there is real value there. If someone were purchasing only the course material, I believe it would be worthwhile.

However, the full program costs around $6,000, and at that price I expected a much higher level of organization, structure, and experienced coaching.

When I eventually requested a refund (which the program advertises), communication became difficult. After a call with someone from the team we initially agreed to try continuing with a new coach, but I ultimately felt I had lost trust in the program. After multiple messages and emails without resolution, I eventually had to go through my bank to recover the payment.

Overall, I still think Shane Hummus creates excellent educational content, and I respect the value of the training videos.

But based on my experience, the coaching program itself did not meet the level of professionalism and organization I expected for the price.

I’m sharing this review simply to help others make a well-informed decision before investing. I do hope the program improves because the core training itself is good.

Before starting Shane's program I felt scattered when making YouTube videos. I didn't know which ones would work and then the idea of seo or titles or thumbnails felt overwhelming. Shane's program gave me the structure to know how to proceed and to stop avoiding. Great information given in multiple formats that is pragmatic and logical. This has taken the frustrating guess work out of video production. And the staff and coaches were always so responsive and never felt like they were doing "their job", it truly feels like they want me and my channel to succeed. PS - this is not a skimpy program, there are so many videos, extra trainings and one on ones with coaches.

I had a major challenge trying to identify an audience and understand how to make content that meaningfully connected with them. Shane’s team helped me apply a system that helped me break through that barrier and start making progress towards a successful YouTube presence with me as the brand. I recommend this to anyone who feels stuck on making content, it will help!

For years I've struggled with clarity... Like, literally, I can feel like I have my day's to-do list figured out and then within 5 minutes have myself so jumbled up with all the shoulda, coulda, maybes that I completely lose all sense of direction.

So, when I wanted to start Youtubing I knew I needed help with direction, clarity, messaging, etc...

I did some research on Shane Hummus' coaching program and was sold on joining them.

So glad I did!

His team is always there to answer your questions and get you on track.

Their clarity, focus, and expertise helps cut through all the fog in my head in ways I've rarely experience.

Patient, encouraging, and full of positivity, these are the kind of people I want to surround myself with.

Forever thankful!

When I found the course it led me to discover a niche to acquiring many high paying clients to net six figures revenue a year. In addition, in the future as AI changes the economy, if I want to switch niches, I feel confident cause the stuff in the course follows high value, practical and psychologically effective content marketing techniques for any kind of sophisticated audience. If you are willing to work hard and really wanna create an online business, I recommend this course. But if you are lazy, don't buy it.

Prior to working with CGE, there was no YouTube strategy to speak of. Fast forward 6 months: the channel is GROWING on autopilot, clients are coming in organically from the videos, Shane's team helped us hire a video editor that is fabulous and we have an entire system in place to consistently produce videos. I never would have prioritized this on my own, and am so thankful for the strategy and 1:1 support!

Shane's team is the absolute best and to be frank he makes all other people attempting to teach Youtube and content growth look like a freaking joke. If you see anyone else out there saying they'll help you grow on YouTube or any form of social media but don't tell you how much money they made from their Channel or how much money their students made from their Channel your being scammed... period. I heard a story of a YouTube creator who got a gold play button forgetting to 1 million subscribers and he had to sell that play button to buy food because he was homeless. But in Shane's program he doesn't just help you to get a bunch of followers and subscribers that tickle your ego and lead to nowhere but he helps you to get actual paying customers that give you money! From following Shane's advice in the past 2 months I have gotten over 9,000 subscribers a fully monetized YouTube channel and most importantly $35,000 in pure profit. Not Revenue not likes not comments pure profit that actually can pay your rent. I came across Shane when I was almost about to get laid off from my job and implemented his stuff and put my pedal to the metal with pumping out videos using his methods and thanks to him he took me from potentially being unemployed and having to move back home with my parents to having a thriving singing lessons YouTube channel. If you want to look me up my handle is @Isaiahthevocalcoach. Following Shane's advice changed my life and you will absolutely not go wrong working with him.

Highly recommended! I was a complete beginner and had No Idea how to even make a video. With Shane and the team's support, I was able to quickly understand the concept and how YouTube works. My first video had 10K views and from there we kept doubling down on the channel. I definitely recommend to business owners who want to promote their services on YouTube and Shane's is the go-to person for this.

When I started working together with Shane and the CGE Team, I knew hardly anything about YouTube strategy, thumbnail creation, title creation, or monetization.
Now, a few months later, it's hard to believe what I have learned and how much more (I think ;-) I understand YouTube and its algorithm.
But that is not the only thing that I learned. I know how to choose a suitable title, how to create thumbnails, and how to stand in front of the camera (without feeling awkward anymore!). Besides that, it has also helped me in my public speaking skills, my storytelling, as well as my sales skills.
The benefit I gained from this programme, and especially the 1:1 coachings with Shane's coaching team, has been incredibly valuable for me.
I can highly recommend the CGE Programme to anyone who wants to get started with YouTube like I did and is looking for some real experts.

Joining the Content Growth Engine was hands down one of the best business decisions I've ever made. Before enrolling, I was spinning my wheels trying to figure out YouTube on my own - watching endless free tutorials, experimenting with different strategies, and getting nowhere fast. I knew YouTube could be a powerful lead generation tool for my business, but I just couldn't crack the code.

From day one, Shane and his team demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge about what actually works on YouTube right now - not outdated advice from 2019, but current, battle-tested strategies that produce real results. What impressed me most was how they've systematized everything. Instead of vague advice like "make good content," they provided exact frameworks for finding winning video ideas, crafting high-converting titles and thumbnails, and structuring content that actually drives business results.

The customized coaching style is what truly sets this program apart. Shane and his team don't give cookie-cutter advice - they take the time to understand your specific business, niche, and goals, then tailor their guidance accordingly. Every coaching call felt like they were genuinely invested in my success. They celebrated my wins, helped me troubleshoot challenges, and pushed me when I needed accountability.

The support is absolutely incredible. Between the weekly accountability calls, the responsive coaching team, and the community of other business owners in the program, I never felt alone in this journey. Whenever I had questions or hit a roadblock, help was always available. The team reviews your actual work - thumbnails, titles, video ideas - and provides specific, actionable feedback that moves the needle.

Since joining, I've completely transformed how I approach YouTube. I'm no longer guessing or hoping something works - I know I am following a proven system that consistently attracts high-quality leads to my business. The ROI has been phenomenal, and I am just getting started.

If you're a business owner or consultant who's serious about using YouTube to grow your business, stop hesitating. This program delivers everything it promises and more. Shane and his team have created something truly special here, and I'm grateful every day for the investment I made.

100% recommended for anyone serious about YouTube growth and monetization.
