| 18 Apr 2022 | The State of Brand Deals in 2022 [Ep. #309] | 00:51:12 | |
As the creator economy continues to grow, so do brand deals. But brand deals are different today than they were 5 years ago. How have they changed? What do brands look for now that's different than what they were looking for 5 years ago? Has the opportunity for creators to make money with brand deals grown with time or declined because of more competition? Today D'Laina and I talk with Jonathan Katz, a YouTube lawyer in this industry who sees a lot of these deals coming across his desk all the time. He shares his perspective on how the state of brand deals on YouTube has evolved over the past 5 years to what it looks like now for us today.

| 20 Sep 2021 | YouTube Experts React To Bad YouTube Ranking Advice [Ep.#283] | 00:44:42 | |
You don't have to look long to find some bad advice online about how the YouTube algorithm works, how to rank your videos, how to "SEO" your channel, rank number 1, and get more views. Most of it is rooted in an antiquated understanding of how YouTube works despite being promoted still today as "best practices." I went to a few blog posts on sites that are considered authoritative on Google SEO and pulled out some of the bad advice and most common myths I hear. I'm going to share each one with Lennon and D'Laina, two of the other YouTube Strategists on our team here at Video Creators, and get them to react. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Leslie took a break for several years from his channel and now wants to grow it again. So we hopped into a consultation to discuss his next steps for infusing growth into his inactive channel. He shares more about one of the tactics he'll be using on his channel to do just that.

| 21 Feb 2022 | The hustle mentality kills your soul. Invest into these 5 efforts for growth instead. | 00:38:04 | |
When you first start your YouTube channel and your business, you're all excited to jump in! You have a great vision of what the future is going to look like: freedom, independence, spreading your message, changing people's lives, doing something you're passionate about, etc! And then you start making money and achieve the thing you set out to accomplish. But soon you find that the excitement gives way to a grind. It's a hustle mentality that you can't sustain at the same pace going forward into the future. You want to slow down, but you can't. The business requires too much from you. You feel stuck and disillusioned because the the life you thought your YouTube channel and business would provide ends up providing the same experience you had when working a 9-5. In this episode we're going to talk with the guys who own the financial advisory firm Tim Schmoyer uses. It's not who you'd normally think of when it comes to solving this problem of grinding, burnout, building a business around your passion, and getting unstuck from it all, but it'll make sense as we get into this conversation. They know that there's actually 5 efforts that need to work together in order for our personal life, our money, our business, our family, and our work to all align together. In this episode they share what those 5 efforts are so we can ultimately thrive in life and in our business.

| 03 Sep 2020 | To Grow Your YouTube Business, You Need This CEO Mindset [feat. Josh Zimmerman] [Ep. #233] | 01:00:01 | |
Growing a successful business around your YouTube audience requires a different mindset than just being a creator or an "influencer." Too many creators focus on the creator side of their business, but fail to recognize that they're actually a CEO and need to think like one in order to make money in their business. Today, Josh Zimmerman, The Creator Coach, joins us to share more about what that mindset is, how to get it, and what it means for us as creators who are growing a business on YouTube. Learn more about Josh at https://www.creatorcoach.com. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Steve started growing his YouTube channel to help people have a better experience and save money when they visit London.

| 25 Oct 2021 | Missed Opportunities For Getting More Views From YouTube Descriptions [Ep.#288] | 00:45:29 | |
You undoubtedly hear gurus telling you to fill up your video descriptions on YouTube. They say to give Google as much information about your video as you can and to use your keywords in there and other variants of your keywords. They encourage people to put a lot of links in there, too, because you never know which link someone will want to click on. But then you see that most of the top creators on the platform either have little or nothing in their description boxes. At the very least, some use some default text that’s the same for every video on their channel. So is there an opportunity here for more views or is it just a meaningless description box? That’s what we want to help you understand here today.

| 23 May 2022 | How to Find and Train a ROCKSTAR Virtual Assistant | 00:56:20 | |
When I was starting my business and growing my channel, I quickly felt overwhelmed with how much work there was to do: email, shooting, editing, publishing, social engagement, creating products, writing sales pages, and more. I was reluctant to hire a virtual assistant because of the money and the time it would cost. But after I did it, I wished I had done it sooner. I made some initial mistakes at first, but was then able to start working on my business again instead of being stuck working in the business. Today we talk about some of my mistakes and how I find and train people today for my team in a way that enables us to move forward and take new ground as a business. And we'll do that by talking with my most recent hire, Katlyn, who is now my executive assistant.

| 07 Oct 2020 | Bringing Clarity to the Direction of your Channel when it's Confusing and Ineffective | 01:00:50 | |
Your channel feels like it's at a standstill. It's stuck in a rut. You put out high quality content, but just doesn’t seem to be enough. One video may do really well on the first few days but the views go down really fast too. A particular series of videos may gain a lot of views and subscribers, but the other videos don't get the same attention. Are you going the right direction with your channel? What about when you're torn between the direction you want to go with your channel and the direction that seems to be earning the most growth? Yes, you could do this thing and grow the channel, but you don't really want to do that thing. You have a broader vision for it than just this one thing that's getting traction. Which direction should you take? How can they have steady growth while also exploring other topics and other strategies? Or maybe you're still trying to figure out what direction to take. Since you're not sure what to do, you publish new videos inconsistently and never really sure if what you're doing is worth your time. Such good questions. Today we want to address this issue so you can move forward confidently with a direction for your channel. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Carolyn was working hard on her YouTube channel and grew it to about $100 per month, but no matter what she did, she wasn't seeing much success beyond that. So she did a consultation with Lennon and went through our course, "30 Days to a Better YouTube Channel."

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.

| 29 Nov 2021 | Separating What Makes You Busy vs. What Makes You Money [Ep.#293] | 00:44:48 | |
When we're growing a business around YouTube, much of our time is focused on the efforts we feel are growing our business and channel. However, when we stop and look objectively at our business, often we find that the activities that are making us busy and not the same things that are making us money. What activities are we doing on our YouTube channels and in the business we're growing around that audience? Of those activities, which ones are making us money and which ones aren't. Which ones serve our audience and customers the best? Which ones don't? Often those two things are connected in some way. Where do we make the most profit? This isn't about extracting as much as we can from people, but rather, money is an indicator, it's one way to measure how well you're serving people. We wrestle with that question here today.

If you've done any research on how YouTube creators make money you've undoubtedly come across things like Adsense and the YouTube Partner Program, affiliates, brand deals, and sponsorships. However, those types of income may not work for every creator. Today we'll discuss a few ways to make money through your YouTube efforts that are a little less common and not discussed as much as some other things.

| 05 Nov 2019 | Your YouTube Revenue is at Stake: FTC vs YouTube [Ep. #192] | 00:57:35 | |
I wish this was clickbait, but it's not. As the legal proceedings take place between YouTube and the FTC over COPPA laws concerning children, the implications are much deeper and impactful for YouTube as a whole than we originally thought. And not just for creators in the USA. YouTube's new policies will impact every creator on the platform regardless of where they reside. Jeremy Johnston will join us to discuss the issues that are at stake for creators, which are currently scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2020. He's uniquely qualified to talk about this because he is a successful family YouTube creator with almost 2 million subscribers, he's a dad of 5 kids, and he's a lawyer. He flew out to Washington DC several times to meet with the lawyers who drafted the case against YouTube and has several surprising things to share about what this means for us as creators and what we need to do about it now before it's too late. If we don't change the course the FTC is on, then it's a very real risk that many of us will lose most of the revenue we currently earn through YouTube's ads. - Learn more about the issue here from Jeremy: https://youtu.be/1b9HGNHm-aQ LOVE VIDEO CREATORS AND WANT TO GROW ON YOUTUBE?

One creator asked us, "How do I optimize YouTube's ads to make the most money? Should I just select all the options and let YouTube pick? Should I disable certain ad formats and force others to run more? is there anything I can do to make more money from YouTube's ads on my videos?" Another creator asked us, "How do I double my channel growth with tips you've never shared?" This question usually presumes that they're doing everything we've already said, still aren't experiencing growth on their YouTube channel, and want the secret, next level tactics. While we love talking about the next level tactics, if you're not experiencing growth with the foundational principles, the advanced principles will not work.

| 08 Dec 2022 | YouTube burnout (and how to fix it) | 00:37:13 | |
It's a common story. You feel like you need to chase views to continue to be successful. But then, you start to lose the love for what you're doing. The passion is gone. You watch your competition and start forcing your content into what you think it needs to be. It becomes a task, which makes you forget why you started in the first place. This is a red flag, that ultimately can lead to creator burn out. Have you been there? Are you there? If so, this is for you.

| 17 May 2021 | Keyword Research vs. Topic Research: Which One Gets Better Results? [Ep.#265] | 00:53:57 | |
You're likely doing keyword research all wrong on YouTube. In fact, when we start working with a YouTube creator and they tell us how they're doing keyword research, all I usually have to do to make my point is ask, "That sounds great. How's that working for you so far?" and typically they chuckle and say that it's not. It's not surprising because the whole idea of keyword research is based on an outdated understanding of how YouTube's search and discovery systems work. The idea is that if I can find keywords that have a lot of search volume with low competition, then there's a greater chance that I could rank for that keyword and thus get a lot of that traffic. But just because there's high competition and high search volume doesn't mean you can't outrank everything that's there. It happens all the time! Maybe you've experienced it yourself with a video that performed well for years, but now suddenly isn't. Someone else's video took over. Furthermore, there's no such thing as ranking number one for anything anymore. Search results are so personalized based on each viewer's history, viewing habits, the type of content they gravitate towards, even the channels they're subscribed to. It also makes a difference what kind of device you're searching from, your geographic location, and what age YouTube thinks is making the search query. Keyword research assumes that YouTube's search and discovery systems are positioning videos based on the keywords in the title, description, and the tags. However, YouTube announced they were switching away from this keyword matching system on August 10, 2012. Almost 10 years ago! Instead, they favor viewer signals to learn which videos to position, where to position them, when to position them, and for whom. So, here at Video Creators, we don't actually talk about keyword research. Instead, we talk about "topic research," which is a different approach and produces different results. Today, Lennon, D'Laina, and I are going to talk about how the two differ, and hopefully, by the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with a better process for researching your video ideas.

| 29 Jan 2019 | The Dark Side of YouTube Success [Ep. #156] | 01:04:39 | |
On the outside, YouTube success looks great! Fame, fortune, and freedom. And, while it can include those things, there's actually an unspoken side of YouTube success that's difficult to talk about publicly because it can sound ungrateful or because there's a social stigma against such conversations. It's not uncommon for successful creators to feel burned out, stressed out, and on the brink of wanting to quit due to all the pressures they feel. Today, Matthew Tabor of Vsauce joins us to help us understand what causes so much stress for creators, how we can manage those stress levels, and some of the positive side effects of creating in this environment. Check out Matt's podcast, "The Create Unknown." He explores the new dream job of YouTube creator by interviewing some of the most well-known, successful people on the platform. From talking motivation with SmarterEveryDay and iJustine to dissecting the art of the meme with Dr. Grandayy, Dolan Dark, and Vsauce’s Michael Stevens, The Create Unknown goes deep into what it’s actually like to make content for the online world -- and how any passion can be turned into a sustainable venture. https://www.youtube.com/thecreateunknown Listen and subscribe to The Create Unknown on all podcast platforms: http://thecreateunknown.com/ Get a free audiobook at http://www.audibletrial.com/videocreators (affiliate) BECOME A MEMBER OF MY CHANNEL: Access special community perks on our YouTube channel and support our trainings by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcB3bcWy0_QK7uPQvTD0LwQ/join FREE EBOOK: "The Secret to Building your YouTube Audience" LET'S CONNECT!

Yes, Google and YouTube are owned by the same company, but that doesn't mean that what works on Google works on YouTube. Just look at their homepages to see that they have very different goals, different objectives, and that people use them very differently. We need to ditch our "Google Mentality" and have a YouTube mentality instead in order for our videos to reach more people. That primarily comes down to 3 different mentalities when it comes to our content:

| 26 Jun 2023 | The RIGHT way to steal ideas from other channels... | 00:47:40 | |
Has this ever happened to you? You see an amazing video on YouTube that is getting a zillion views and you think, I should just do that! It works for them, it should work for me, right? Right?? Actually.... no. That's now how it works. Imitating successful channels on YouTube can be tempting, but this approach can actually hinder your growth and be morally wrong. Copying isn’t always a form of flattery. It can be actually be considered theft. But, the real danger is that it prevents you from unlocking your true potential, and worse, potentially lead you to burnout. So instead, we are going to teach you how steal ideas the RIGHT way.

| 18 Jul 2022 | How to Use Emotion to Drive Action on YouTube [feat. Tamsen Webster] | 00:57:08 | |
If you want your viewers on YouTube to take action because of content they watched from you, it will only happen because you elicit an emotion from your viewer. The bigger, the deeper the emotion, the bigger action they'll take. In this episode we talk about this on a brand level - getting someone to subscribe and watch more -- but also on a specific level that you can use in each video if you want. A few months ago I heard Tamsen Webster speak at a conference about this topic and thought, "I need to get her on a podcast episode to talk more about this. This is fantastic and so helpful." Tamsen is a message strategist, speaker and author and, thankfully, she agreed to be interviewed for our podcast! LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE

Creators are constantly burning out on YouTube - and for good reason. YouTube is a lot of work and the successes don't come quickly. We want to encourage you to grow through the hard times and be able to discern when to push through and when to take a break. Recognizing the signs of burnout early on is helpful. If you catch it early, you can start making changes before it's too late. If you feel drained, this episode is for you.

| 22 Aug 2022 | How one video's performance impacts your next video's performance | 00:47:37 | |
What's going on when you publish a video, it flops, and then your next videos after that flop, too? Does the performance of one video on your channel impact the next? Yes and no. There's two different ways to look at this phenomenon on YouTube. One way is an algorithmic perspective in terms of what YouTube's algorithm thinks about your next video based on the videos that were published before it. The second way is an audience perspective of how they behave with future content if you publish a video that doesn't connect with them. In this episode, we talk about both perspectives of this situation as well as many other questions you've submitted about hiring contractors on UpWork, recording voice overs, and when to update the metadata of older videos to breathe new life into them again.

| 31 Oct 2022 | How YouTube's History Affects the Future of our Content Strategy | 00:41:55 | |
Good content strategy on YouTube isn't about hacks and tricks. It's all about learning to think about your content the way YouTube thinks about it. When we align our content strategy with what YouTube wants to surface, it increases the likelihood that our content gets surfaced. One of the ways we can learn how YouTube thinks is to understand their story, both how and why they made certain decisions along the way.
