It's interesting to see people moving away from broadcast TV and streaming YouTube videos instead. In this live stream we'll discuss a few ideas for optimizing our videos and our content for television viewers so we can capitalize on this growing market.

In an effort to grow their channels faster, creators sometimes buy views and subscribers using various services that are available. Unfortunately, most of the time this can really hurt their channels despite claims and promises otherwise. In today's live stream I'll talk about the impact that buying views and subscribers can have, especially when it's fake views and subscribers, and what to watch out for in the promises many websites make about how they help you grow on YouTube.

Growing a YouTube channel takes a lot of hard work. More and more full-time creators are quitting, burning out, and even experiencing some mental health issues along with some addictions for coping. There is a lot to manage when you consider what it takes to create videos, build a community, sustain the business, and put yourself out there emotionally on a regular basis. It's tiring, draining, and makes you want to quit at times. I'm no exception, but I have been doing this for over 12 years now. Here's what I do to avoid burnout and balance real life with YouTube life so I can continue to serve viewers the best way possible.

There's a lot of emphasis placed on search traffic, which isn't bad because it's a powerful traffic driver for a lot of channels. However, YouTube has some other traffic sources that should not be overlooked and can be even more powerful than search itself for a lot of channels. So today I want to talk about why it's been a few years since I've intentionally targeted search traffic and my approach that let's me not only continue to get views from YouTube search, but also get traffic from other sources, as well.
