I sort of was just making products here and there and s...

Oct 23, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Are you stuck in that pattern of waking up each morning refreshing your YouTube studio stats to see if magically one of your videos finally went viral and your subscriber count and watch time has skyrocketed overnight? Yeah, I have been there. Heck - I still religiously obsess over my YouTube stats (not saying that’s healthy, but it’s the reality). I have been on YouTube for a long time and because of that - I have learned a lot about what NOT to do on YouTube and what can truly help you grow. S...
Oct 16, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Despite what you might have heard, there is no perfect formula for calculating your rates as a creator - there are so many factors involved that aren’t just the size of your audience. The niche you’re in, the size of the brands that you’re partnering with, the deliverables you’re offering - and many other factors will help determine what you can reasonably charge (aka what brands will agree to) But these same struggles surpass just setting your brand deal rates - we know as creators how importan...

Sep 25, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast The reality is, the vast majority of YouTube channels will never become financially successful. In fact, out of the 100 million YouTube creators, only 10 million channels have surpassed 1000 subscribers. That means that if you have 1000 subscribers, you're in the top 10% of all YouTube creators. The other 90 million never made it that far. In my over ten years of creating content on this platform, I've found that there are really 5 main reasons why the majority of YouTube channels 'fail' or fail...
Sep 18, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Since then, brand deals have become an increasingly significant part of my own income, and it’s seriously such a pleasure to get to partner with brands that I personally love and respect - and share them with my audience.

But here’s the thing: I’m not just going to talk about how you can start pitching brands - that’...
Sep 11, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Being a content creator requires a wide range of skills, from copywriting to video editing to social media and marketing strategy.

It can truly make the difference between a successful creator career and being too scared to start in the first place. Visit my shop page here for more details on all of...
Sep 04, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast When I first started my YouTube channel, all I ever dreamed of was reaching 100,000 subscribers and receiving that play button - and finally feeling confident and fulfilled.

Aug 14, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast We’ve all heard the advice at this point - posting consistently is key to growing on YouTube. But how do you actually implement that advice? What I’ve learned is: you need to treat YouTube like a habit. Just like brushing your teeth, or going for your silly little walks for your silly little mental health - you build up habits over time and eventually, it becomes second nature. That’s the beauty of the 8 habits I’m going to talk about today - once you start doing them, and you practice doing the...
Aug 07, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Looking back on my more-than-a-decade on YouTube, I've realized that one major mistake has held me back from seeing much more growth, engagement, and more business opportunities than I've already had. And don't get me wrong: I feel really grateful for how far I've come. I just know that I could've gotten here faster and with less struggle had I not made this mistake. And hopefully, I can keep you from making it as well. So, in this episode, we are going to talk about what I did wrong with my You...
Jul 31, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast On today's episode, we have a special guest, Molly Keyser, founder of Freedom Creator, a company that helps business owners add passive digital products to their businesses.

Jul 10, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Building a personal brand is an excellent way to showcase your unique identity and stand out in a crowded digital world.

Today, I will dive deeper into the process of building a successful per...
Jul 03, 2023•Transcript available on Metacast Building a community is more than growing your audience and following on social media - it’s about creating something powerful, something your community wants to be a part of. One massive mistake that so many creators are making is focusing all of their effort on gaining more followers, increasing their audience size, and seeing that number next to their name go up and up. But then, the people who are already following them - their existing audience - are basically ignored. Listen - you don’t ne...
