Grow a YouTube Channel That Changes the World- in Just 30 Days
(without fancy gear, a huge team, or endless time)
Proven creative systems, strategy coaching, and community support to turn your ideas into consistent, meaningful content
Does this sound like you?
-
You have a ton of ideas, but lack the skills or strategy to make that message a reality
​​
-
You want to build the channel you wish already existed.
​
-
You’ve been wanting to start YouTube for months (maybe even years) but you keep getting stuck in analysis mode.
​
-
You've tried to make videos before, but it never quite came together the way you pictured it.
How I Deleted a TikTok Account With 150k Followers & Still Went Full-Time as a Creator
A few years ago, I blew up a TikTok account to over 150,000 followers.
​
The numbers were great, and the validation was addicting.
But deep down, I knew my content wasn't making the world a better place. I was chasing attention. And the worst part was… it was working.
​
So I decided to build something meaningful. I shut down my TikTok account and pivoted to YouTube.
​​​​
But for three years, I floundered.​ My ideas felt weak. My videos felt low-quality in a way that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
I’d pour days into a script, hit publish… and get 43 views.
I wasn’t learning. I wasn’t growing. I was just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it would stick.​​​​​
​
Then one day, it hit me: I was treating YouTube like an artform, and ignoring the strategy component.
​
So I went all in on learning the rules: how to structure a video that keeps people watching, how to make a title irresistible, how to understand what my audience actually cares about.
​
When I finally applied that knowledge, everything changed.
That next video didn’t just perform well... it exploded.
And for the first time, I didn’t feel lucky. I felt in control.
​
Since then, that system has helped me generate over 2 million views, 30 million impressions, and build the career I’ve always dreamed of.​​
​
And now, I want to teach that system to you.
​
It’s simple, but it’s not easy:
​
1. Develop your craft. Make videos that actually deserve an audience.
2. Combine your unique backstory, interests, and political perspective to make content that is totally unique.
3. Build reliable frameworks that keep you creatively fulfilled and engage viewers.
​​​
The right created a media empire while we were busy arguing on forums and posting naval-gazing video essays. It’s time to change that.
That's why I built Vanguard Studios: the network for a new generation of left-wing creators who recognize the power of social media and are serious about harnessing it to engage the masses and transform the world for good.
​
If you think you have what it takes, I'd love to speak with you.

How This YouTube System Has Already Generated Millions of Views
You're not struggling to create because you're lazy or untalented.
​
I've seen it time and time again: new creators burn out because they try to do it alone, without the right system or support.
That's why Vanguard Studios is built to develop the three essential elements of a successful creator: strategy, community, and accountability.
The Three Pillars of YouTube
Strategy
Clarity Over Chaos
For years, I bounced from video idea to video idea, hoping that one would "hit."
The harsh reality is, it doesn't matter how much effort you put into making videos.
What matters is whether you can make videos that people actually want to watch.
Strategy gives you that roadmap: repeatable frameworks that bring together what you care about with what your audience actually enjoys.
You’ll learn to design content that’s viral and valuable.
Community
Never Build Alone
Creativity is hard. Creativity in isolation is impossible.
​
Inside Vanguard Studios, you'll be surrounded by people who actually get it: creators who share your politics, your passions, and your goals.
​
Capitalism is designed to keep us isolated... because together, we are unstoppable.
Accountability
Set Real Goals
Everyone hits that wall where motivation dies. Accountability is how you break through it.
You’ll set clear goals, get feedback from people who are rooting for you, and stay on track even when life gets in the way.
​
Consistency doesn't come from “discipline.” It comes from building systems.
What Students are Saying
"Since we spoke our cadre got a new member, and we have done more meetings. I'd just like to thank you for your recommendations and have you know it has helped."
​
- Magnus Hinge
Youth Organizer, Communist Party of Denmark
"The weekly objectives keep me focused on what needs to be done next, gives me a sense of community accountability, and helps chip away at large tasks like content creation. That structure alone has really helped me take that first step through the content creator door, especially as someone who’s brand new to this space.
Vanguard Studios has been helpful... whether it's on the weekly video chats, one on one messages for key items, or the growing community of creators, this place has been awesome to be around."

Everything Included in Vanguard Studios
Weekly Strategy Roundtable
This is where your growth happens in real time.
Every week, we meet to review your progress, break down what’s working, and identify what’s holding you back.
Then I teach a focused lecture on a practical skill: from writing tighter scripts, to designing killer thumbnails, to monetizing as a creator.
​
After that, we move into a live workshop where I give direct, in-the-moment feedback on your work so you can apply what you’ve learned immediately.
We wrap by setting goals for the upcoming week, so you’re always moving forward with purpose.
​
You’ll walk away with:
✅ Personalized feedback
✅ Ongoing accountability that keeps you consistent
✅ A clear roadmap for improving your content every single week
24/7 Access to a Collaborative Community
You don’t have to do this alone. Inside Vanguard, you’ll be part of a tight-knit community of politically conscious creators who actually get what you’re trying to do.
​
Whether it’s sharing ideas, swapping feedback, or just staying motivated, you’ll have constant support from people walking the same path, and from me personally. You can send me your scripts, thumbnails, or ideas anytime, and I’ll workshop them with you directly in chat.
​
You’ll finally have:
✅ Real creative peers who want to see you win
✅ On-demand feedback that accelerates your progress
✅ A sense of belonging in a movement of creators building something bigger than themselves
The Vanguard Studios Training Archive
Every lecture, workshop, and resource gets added to an ever-growing archive — so you’ll always have something to return to when you’re stuck or want to level up.
​
Over time, this becomes your personal creative vault: templates, frameworks, and strategy guides that help you build faster, smarter, and more confidently.
​
You’ll get:
✅ Lifetime access to all recorded trainings
✅ Ready-to-use templates that cut your prep time in half
✅ A growing library that evolves as you do
Secure Your Spot Before Enrollment Closes
Only 18 Seats Remain in This Cohort
I accept a very limited number of new creators at at one time.
​
Not because the system can’t handle more, but because I refuse to water down the experience.
If I’m going to help you build your channel, I want to be deeply involved: reviewing your scripts, helping you find your voice, and giving you direct, personal feedback every week.
​
My goal is simple: help you grow in a way that’s sustainable.
​
That means:
-
Smaller, high-quality cohorts where you actually get my eyes on your work.
-
Faster progress, because your questions get answered right away, not weeks later in some forum.
-
A program that evolves with you, since I’m constantly improving our systems, templates, and lectures based on the real needs of each group.​
​
Once the 40 spots are filled, I'm closing the doors indefinitely to focus on helping those creators succeed.
​
If you wait, you’ll have to join the next cohort... and that means pushing back the growth, structure, and connections you could already be building right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much support do I get directly from Harper?
You’ll receive direct support from me throughout the program.
I’m deeply involved in the day-to-day of Vanguard Studios: I personally review projects, offer feedback in the group chat, and lead our weekly workshops.
​
In fact, I’m responsible for more than half of the messages in the community myself. But beyond me, you’ll also have access to a network of smart, creative leftist creators who are eager to collaborate, problem-solve, and share what’s working for them.
So when you post something for feedback, you’re getting perspectives from both me and a group of like-minded people who genuinely care about seeing you succeed.
What happens after 30 days of support?
You’ll keep lifetime access to all video content and systems, so you can revisit and refine anytime.
​
After your first 30 days of full support, you can choose the path that fits your needs:
-
Go Independent: Keep all the training forever and run the system yourself.
-
Stay Fully Supported: Subscribe to full access to me, my community, and the updated tools and templates for ongoing coaching, feedback, and troubleshooting.
How much does it cost?
Vanguard Studios isn’t a faceless online course. It’s a community-driven program that requires my active effort every single day.
​
Right now, membership is $60/month, and that gives you full access to the weekly workshops, the community, and all current and future training resources.
​
Prices rise as demand grows and we continue upgrading the course, tools, templates, and live sessions.
​
If you’re accepted now, you’ll lock in today’s rate before they increase.
When does the program start?
You can start immediately after joining.
​
Once we hit capacity each cohort, doors close until the next.
My channel isn't in English, can you still help?
Absolutely, all we ask is that you’re prepared to translate any content you’d like feedback on into English.
We’re here to support you, regardless of your native language.
What time are the live calls, and what if I can't attend?
Our weekly Strategy Roundtable calls typically run from 4-7PM US Central time.
​
Every session is recorded and uploaded, so you can watch it whenever you need to.
Do I need extra tools or software?
I request that all my students invest in a quality microphone ($20-$40).
​
However, our video editing software (DaVinci Resolve) is free.
Try Vanguard Studios for 30 Days, Risk-Free
I know that joining something like Vanguard Studios can feel like a big step.
Back when I was in college, trying to get my channel off the ground, sixty dollars a month would’ve been a serious commitment.
That’s why I want you to be able to make an informed decision, from the inside.
Join the next 30-day cohort, take part in the sessions, get feedback, collaborate, and see what it’s like to grow inside a serious creative community. If, after that first month, you decide the program didn't meet your expectations, I’ll refund you. No forms, no fine print, no hard feelings.
​
I’m confident you’ll see the value. But I want you to be able to see it for yourself.
That's The Vanguard Promise
Save years of trial and error and get results in months.
I used to tell myself, “I’ll start soon.”
When I have more time. When I finally have the perfect video idea. When I feel ready.
​
But here’s the truth: there’s never a perfect time. There’s only now.
​
Every creator who’s actually made it can trace their success back to the moment where they stopped waiting and decided to just do it.
​
Vanguard Studios is my way of giving creators the support I wish I had when I was starting out: real mentorship, collaborative community, and a framework that helps you build a sustainable creative practice.
This cohort is capped at 40 members, and over half of those spots are already taken.
I’m keeping it intentionally small because I want to be hands-on with every single person.
​
Join us, experience it for 30 days, and decide for yourself whether it’s worth it. If it’s not what you hoped for, I’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
​
Most people will watch opportunities pass by and tell themselves they’ll ‘start someday.’ This is your someday.
