Video Creators

We are Taking a Break

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.    Links in this Episode: The Dip - Seth Godin: https://a.co/d/1mT1nTu  vidIQ 1:1 Coach: https://get.vidiq.com/

Is Sam Sulek changing the future of YouTube?

There has been a rise in successful channels that many would consider “unoptimized." Have you noticed this? One example of this is Sam Sulek . He is a fitness creator who is blowing up even though he breaks all the rules of YouTube with his thumbnails, video length, and low production value. It's leaving so many people to wonder, "How is this working for him?!?"  Recently, VidIQ put out a great video on this. But, we wanted to share more thoughts around the topic because this is a pattern we are seeing with many types of channels and there are some great lessons that can be learned and applied to us all.    Links in this Episode  Sam Sulek: https://www.youtube.com/@sam_sulek  vidIQ’s Sam Sluek Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNYUAIgIjq0 vidIQ Coaching: https://get.vidiq.com/  Bard: https://bard.google.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2024enUS_sem7&gclid=CjwKCAiA44OtBhAOEiwAj4gpOXxwtdhBTA-8cZjSamu4iSSUJ1_FHE2LEZ9rHog3F3rHzFlWpyEybhoCPdUQAvD_BwE 

Why you aren't Succeeding on YouTube

A new year means new goals for your YouTube channel. Maybe your goals are subscriber based or maybe they are focused on producing a certain amount of content. But regardless of what they are, we have found that the biggest thing that can make or break your channel happens before you even hit record. Success on YouTube really all boils down to your mindset. So with the new year underway, take a second and reevaluate your approach to your channel. It might be the most important thing you do all year.
