The speaker, who has grown their own channel and coached others, believes that most YouTube advice is bad and that to be successful on YouTube, you need to ignore 80% of what you've learned. They emphasize the importance of studying and researching successful content, having a business mindset, and creating your own products to monetize from day one.

Approaching YouTube with a business mindset and creating your own products can lead to early monetization.
Fancy equipment is not necessary, and utilizing free trials and affordable tools is sufficient.

Posting fewer, well-researched videos is more important than consistency.
