Video Creators | Grow Your Youtube Audience, Get Subscribers, Tips For More Views, Strategy, And Make Money With Your Channel

If you're using YouTube to grow your business or even create a business, we know you have all kinds of questions about what that looks like, what works best, and how to translate business practices to an online video format. After generating several million dollars on YouTube for my businesses, we're here to help you figure out how to do the same. In this episode we answer questions about selling, managing the taxes and finance side of the business, business models for entertainment channels, and more. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Tetsu worked for months on growing his channel with little results, but after going through our channel growth process at, "30 Days to a Better YouTube Channel," he's seeing exponential growth.

When you're a smaller channel, you typically follow a growth strategy that focuses on search, keywords, and making the content as short and to-the-point as possible. While there's nothing wrong with that, you'll notice that many channels with several million subscribers do NOT do that. They're not focused on keywords and there's a lot of "unnecessary" fluff. Why? If you already have some traction on YouTube, but it feels too slow, today we want to share with you a different strategy for growth, one that more closely emulates what successful channels are doing.

If you want to optimize your videos for growth, most people unfortunately focus primarily on the content itself: cool shots, fancy editing, and high energy. Those things can be nice, but they don't grow momentum on your channel as well as focusing on who the viewer is and what they want. Today, Liron from VidIQ joins us to talk through how we can get to know our target audience and its implications for how we craft videos that earn millions of views and subscribers.

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. Today we answer audio questions from channel members about: - Optimizing YouTube's ads to make the most money. - Effectively using the community tab to drive more views. - Maintaining growth as "shelter in place" slows down. - When to test different title and thumbnail ideas. - Software for managing your c

This episode is more for the business minded creator -- those who plan to turn their channel into a business or people who are growing a business with their YouTube channel. At VC, about 90-some percent of our revenue is funneled through our website. It's a very critical tool for us as we generate leads with YouTube, nurture those relationships with email, or even sell directly from our channel. There's an opportunity for us as creators to not only get more views and traffic on our videos, but also on our website. And as we do that and are embedding videos in our website, we get more views on those videos, too. The way most people think about this is that they should drive traffic from their videos to their website, and that's certainly one way to do that, although we're cautious to do that outside of a video that designed to be a sales video because YouTube favors content that increases people's viewing sessions. Instead, today we want to talk about organically growing the traffic to your website. Use your w
