Okay, so watch your breath when you're breathing on your computer I don't want to come through and get me. I'm so I'm so fearful of that Okay guys, so let's talk about this YouTube thing So exciting to look at this so exciting to see what we can do And and learn and the first thing I really want to talk about today is your niche Your niche is super super important it's something that You know, you got to select that in the beginning. Okay, your niche is really really important And it's got to be targeted towards an audience out there I see a lot of people will start a YouTube channel without a niche they go Well, I'm just gonna post some videos and I'm like, well, why would anybody come to your channel? They're like, well because I'm interesting. No, you're not. No, you're not not in the beginning. You're not you've got to have a niche You've got to you know plan something every big business starts with a niche. They just do Amazon first started they were selling used books. Okay. That's what they did. They sold used books That was their niche when Nike first started. They only sold athletic tennis shoes That's all they did and now look at their clothing lines and their stores and everything when Oprah first started She was only known for her TV show. That was it nothing else Dwayne Johnson think about him when he first started. He was a WWE wrestler and that's it So you've got to start with it when Will Smith first started he was known for rapping. All right That's what he did it can grow into a lot of other things, but you've got to have a niche It's so important to do that Some questions to ask yourself to figure out your YouTube niche first off What are you passionate about? What is it that really gets you going in the morning? What is it that excites you throughout the day? What is it that you would want to constantly do? What would you like to talk about all day long if you could sit there and talk all day long about something? What would that something be? And what do you feel connected to the next thing you could ask yourself and you can jot some of these questions I was these are great for figuring out your niche. Let me get a little sip here What do you advocate for think about this? What is something that you never get tired of doing or supporting? I know my wife is really into animals dogs and cats Okay, and she could talk about dogs and cats and their health and training and all that stuff all day long So guess what that's her niche and she loves what she's doing imagine guys on YouTube It gives you a platform to do something you love constantly. I mean, how cool is that you wake up every day? I was like, yeah, I want to go do that. Are you doing that now on a job? Probably not. I wasn't I had a great job I made good money, but I wasn't passionate about what I was doing. I just wasn't So, you know your thing could be body body positivity. It could be beauty. It could be hair care It could be helping women online. It could be writing. It could be singing. It could be comedy But whatever it is find that thing that you're passionate about now if you don't know what you're passionate about Just ask yourself. What do you like? What makes you happy? What is it that puts a smile on your face? What are those things then once you've gone through those couple, you know steps next thing I want you to ask yourself is what are your gifts and talents? What are you good at? Now I I figured out my niche was making money online, but my gifts and talents are selling I can sell Okay, I can market things. Um, I can write emails. Um, I had a problem a business problem the other day And uh, this business person who went into business with me owed me a lot of money Uh, and they weren't paying me. Uh, I wrote one email one email And I got paid after one email so I can write emails right the emails generate money now I write marketing emails too. I'm in the process now of doing the great legends Which are top internet people from around the world? Uh, and I'm doing a live On this friday, uh, I'm doing a webinar, which you guys are welcome to come to And if you're interested in that put something in the chat section and I'll put the link to that So you can sign up for that and it's going to be friday At 6 p.m. Eastern time. I'll be live there. You can ask me questions anything you want And it's going to be on how to start a business online I walk you through all the steps all the things you need. Uh, let's see here. What else we got? Uh, also switching t-shirt company because current one is having delivery problems Uh, I was happy with the product, but it was taking two weeks for delivery. Yeah And you know, that's the great thing out there is right you could just go Oh, there's more out of you out there. I'll just grab another one You don't have to worry about starting your own factory or get your own machine. You just pick another company Um, what company are you switching to paul? I'm considering spring Uh formally t-spring. All right, paul paul says was fortunate to meet oprah. Oh, wow On three different occasions. She was very genuine boy. She does come across that way I don't know anything about her as a person, but she does come across genuine when I see her in interviews and talks Um tyan nelson. Yes interested They're also online surveys that can give you a profile as to what you're suited to. Yes, that's a good idea paul You're a lot of those just just type in personality profiles and you'll find a lot of those things Um So, you know, once you figure out what these gifts and talents are it's easier to be more Passionate about those things right and doing this you're sharing content that you're passionate about And you're saying, you know, you're staying your true self, which is really cool. Don't try to be something you're not There's no room for comparison here. There's only one you don't worry if somebody else has done something similar Or is like you or does the same kind of niche because you're different Nobody is like you you've got to realize that you are genuine. Just be you whatever you are. That's fine You know, I know people online that stutter. I know people online that stammer that don't speak that well That have nervous ticks. I mean look at elan musk. He's on the spectrum. He's even said it You know, he kind of twitches and all when he talks and he has like and he's one of the richest people in the world Quit worrying about these little inadequacies that you think you have. Okay, just picks up and move with it Um, next thing you can look at is what is your personality? What part of your personality do you want to showcase through your videos? I probably Showcase sales and my enthusiasm. I'm very enthusiastic about what I do Think about what makes you unique How are you different from other people? What makes you unique? What do you have that nobody else does? What story have you lived through that adds to a deeper meaning to content that you share? Now I I have lived my own life. You've lived your own life. Everybody's life is different I was talking about wife last night and I walked I walked in and I said, let's see already x gaming. Hello, sir. Hi Hey, already x already x gaming is joined us here. We have a lot of people jump in today And I said to my wife. I said, you know, I am so happy That as a kid I lived in a really bad neighborhood I lived in a really dumpy house and I had no money and she looks at me She's like why I said because look at this house Look at where we are now. Look at how we live now. I could never appreciate this if I had grown up rich I'm so glad I grew up poor. I'm so glad I didn't have anything as a kid because now I have the ability to appreciate all this. Okay, so that's my story. That's what makes me unique I talk about that. I talk about the fact that I was a dishwasher, you know, for like $2 an hour $1.65 I can't remember where it was. It wasn't a lot of money. Okay Next thing I'll tell you is be honest with yourself Don't think of things that you want to be good at in the future But find things that you already do well and yes, you do things well A lot of people say well, I don't do anything good. Yes, you do There's always things that you're good at that you do that you help you black think about that Or you're a natural communicator. Do you have an impressive writing skill? Do you have an eye for fashion or graphic design? If you've had a hard time pinpointing your gifts and talents Just go through a list and I'm going to give you a list right now of different things Tyen looking at SPOD they're out of florida teespring was having delivery problems, too Wow, I didn't know all these delivery problems are going on guys. Good to know paul So common niches these are some common ones Beauty if you're into beauty and doing makeup and all that kind of stuff. That's a big one Next one would be travel and you can write some of these down guys travel is a big one people love travel A lot of people can't travel so they like to live through your videos Or a lot of people do want to travel and they want to learn about different areas I started watching travel videos when I went to bangkok in 2016 I think it was or 17 I can't remember and I got hooked on mark ween to really as a food blogger But I learned a lot about bangkok And the city there and and what to do and what to look out for the scams and all that stuff Next thing is fitness fitness is always going to be big fitness is huge huge Fashion is another thing. Maybe you're good at fashion. Maybe you're good at relationships Okay, maybe you've been married for 20 years or 30 years Or or maybe you've had a lot of bad relationships And you want to share those experiences. Okay, even one can be a learning point Um, now what about careers? Maybe you've helped people with their careers? Uh, what about gaming? Maybe you like gaming? That's a huge niche on youtube Uh politics, maybe you're into politics. Maybe you want to talk politics all day long And you want to argue with people. That's what politics really is What about home decor? Maybe you like decorating around your house. You can do it on a budget. You're good at that Uh, what else entrepreneurship? That's my thing.

Okay, and you do that What about family and home? Maybe you're good at family type things raising kids whatever it may be photography I had a friend Cole's classroom If you want to ever look it up But he started uh, he was a wedding photographer making about a hundred grand a year, which is pretty good And he started a photography site where he taught people how to become wedding photographers How to shoot better pictures how to use your camera? And his site blew up I remember one one year I saw him at t and c and he was making about a hundred thousand a month Which is pretty good in the next year. I saw him and he was making four hundred thousand a month And he sold his company for millions of dollars just a couple years ago And just did phenomenal with it. So, you know, that was just photography Maybe you're into diets. Maybe you like keto vegan, uh, you know pescatarian vegetarian paleo, whatever it is Maybe you're a technology geek. You love technology. You want to review technology things? Investing uh, graham stefan is it's grew out of a huge channel with millions of followers just talking about investing in different things Maybe lifestyle, maybe humor. I mean guys the the list just doesn't end There's so many things you can do now the next thing you want to do And we have a lot of good stuff in here guys a lot of good comments Like you I grew up not rich. I think that made me hungry to succeed like you I also had to separate from negative people and surrounding myself with successful people Yes, and this is so true paul and veggie brought that up because negative people Think about this can be your friends Negative people could be your family. Okay, you could have negative people in your family And you got a distance from them and you say well jr. That's family or this is my friend from when I was in second grade And I couldn't just leave them behind Sometimes you have to okay. It's a sometimes you're not leaving them behind They've decided not to move on with you. That's what really happens at more cases than not Like I would stay friends with every single person if they were encouraging me if they were helping me if they were moving forward in their life Why wouldn't you stay friends with them? I got a call yesterday from a friend of mine named patrick mckinsey From england. He lives in the upper side of england in london and he's an actor and he's done movies with idris alba He listed all these different actors that he's done stuff with and I met him on a cruise paul Matter of fact, you're listening. I met patrick on that cruise. We went on the marketers cruise and we've stayed friends And he's an actor and he does commercials and he does voiceovers and all this and we spent about an hour on the phone Yesterday just talking about stuff. He started my website. He wanted some advice on how to market his skills how to get more acting jobs And I was helping him with that But there's some interesting people out there. I mean, I I love talking to him. He's a great guy So what niche are you interested in you want to choose video topics for youtube that people actually want to watch The queens within there you are. You were here the other day. Sometimes you have to divest From your environment Your family your community culture mentally etc to make progress in life Yes, you do the queen is within and you wrote me a really really nice Comment on one of my videos the other day and I really do appreciate that Friend me on facebook the queens within I don't know if you're on facebook if you're on facebook Look for jr. Fisher there. There's a picture of me and my wife and a dog Which is our dog sitting outside of our old house in california. I got to get new pictures Um But you know go ahead and send me a friend request. I think once you find that niche you develop a sense of direction Uh, it's like when you buy a Honda pilot and you leave the lot and you see all the Honda pilots on the road Uh that were always there. Yes. As a matter of fact, paul. I do own a Honda pilot I will say that I have a deposit on the tesla truck. So that's my next move I don't spend a lot of money on cars I don't want fancy cars because sometimes I like to go to bad neighborhoods where there's some really good food And you can't pull into a bad neighborhood. I'm gonna have a hard time with the I think My tesla truck You can't take it everywhere. It looks it looks so funky But yeah, yeah, so that's very true. You start to notice everything around you sure all friend you thanks for the invitation Okay, cool queen is within like to get to know you And I've met a lot of people online guys and we've been friends for years paul is one of them I've met him five years ago. Uh, we're still friends online So when you choose this niche, you want to choose video topics that people actually want to watch Don't make videos on what you want to do now I'm kind of caveating that because I just a minute ago. I said, you know, do a channel of what you want to do That's true But what is it about that niche that people want to learn there are two main ways to go about this first Think of the content that you would like to watch yourself Okay, if you create videos on topics you enjoy You're more likely to record a higher quality video It's also Safe to say that if you find something interesting others most likely will find something interesting too Now if you already have a following be sure to take the knowledge that you have from your viewer demographics and interest Into consideration ask them questions. Ask them what they want to see Second see what's already out there. Okay, watch some youtube channels that share similar content to the content that you want to share Additionally You can use the youtube search bar as your advantage All you gotta do is like Type in a topic or a video idea into the search bar to see how popular that style of video is From there you can actually filter the responses to show the most recent or the most popular videos on that subject So when you type into that bar there, you put any words It's going to do a drop down and it's going to show you all the things They're searching for in order of importance of what they're searching for I also recommend that you use a tool like TubeBuddy I will have a link to TubeBuddy in the description. You can get TubeBuddy absolutely free But if you decide to get the paid version if you use my link you'll get 30 off I am an affiliate for TubeBuddy. Uh, let's see here There ain't no bad neighborhoods Austin Well, James I tell you I'm in that area. I'm actually Georgetown. I'm about 22 miles north of Austin And I'm in a very nice neighborhood. It's very quiet and calm and nice homes and all that but that's not where I grew up I mean my house in Memphis, Tennessee is I walked out my door to the street corner And you could buy and sell drugs right there right there You could buy and sell drugs as a matter of fact the school I went to which was overton high school and you guys are welcome to look this up Put in overton high school crime. Uh, we actually had shootings and stabbings in our school And just recently some parents stopped by there to pick up their kids and they got car jacked parking in front of the school So that's where I grew up. That was my upbringing So to to be able to walk outside my front door and feel safe now That's that's crazy. I mean that's crazy to me to be able to go into a restaurant and you know drop 50 or 100 or 200 Or the other night we spent $300 for dinner craziness craziness to me. Um, that was so much money. That's so much money to me so All these little advantages that I get now, I really appreciate because I came from that area, uh, correct, paul You ain't uh Far from fort hood. No, I'm not as a matter of fact We have a relative that lives in caleen, texas And he works for um the power company And he he he manages fort hood that entire base for all the power, uh, which is pretty cool Brian that's my wife's cousin Um, so additionally you can use the youtube search thing like what I told you But that's a great way to see title formats is to look at other people's videos You can take research one step further by watching videos within your niche That you want to be in it's essential. I watch videos in my niche Um, go through those videos. Watch what's working. Watch what inspires people. Watch what's getting views Originality is really the key though. You don't want to copy somebody, but you do want to get ideas If you want to review a specific product, you can reference similar reviews This is a great way to see different review formats to get better ideas on how, you know, you could format your reviews Then you can tweak it to fit your own style if you're doing, um, a tag or a trend Started by somebody always be sure to give credit to where credit is due The point for referencing other videos is to get better idea of an aspect of your own videos Don't copy somebody else. Don't do that. The deeper the research, you know, I highly recommend using plugins like TubeBuddy Both have free options. There's also a vidIQ out there, but I have to like TubeBuddy Hack more views on your videos So TubeBuddy allows you to fully optimize your channel They provide you the best keywords and topics to use for your videos that people are actually looking for And they tell you if your title is too long too short or how to rank it So you want to use something like TubeBuddy The best way to have videos that people watch is to have videos that people can easily find Okay, when you plan and research your videos you are helping Your videos become easily discoverable which thus increases views and subscribers Okay, TubeBuddy really can help you plan your content showing you the popular Topics and video types that you want to do Let's see here product reviews help with product descriptions too. Yes, they do the house I grew up in got bad when my dad found a guy whacked in our parking lot and the guy Knee capped on a corner, but got good street education. Yes I did get good street and I learned how to fight which was cool You know and learned because you had to my school, you know, you were going to There was no middle of the road character in my school and I hate to admit this But you couldn't be the kind of person that left everybody alone and everybody left you alone It didn't exist in my school My school was you were either preyed upon or you were a predator So every now and then I would have to pick on somebody else because if I didn't I would be the preyed upon So you had to pick a side. Which one did you want to be? Did you want to be prey or predator? There was no middle of the road And I assume prison is the same way. There's no everybody says well, I just want to be left alone and I don't want to bother anybody I don't anybody bothered me that would be great, but that's not how my school was That's not how my neighborhood was you had to be the predator and unfortunately I fell into that category not proud of it, but back then I had to that was the only way I could get by you know If you just search online if you want to get some ideas search like patio decor And TubeBuddy will give you a rating Okay, and this means that whatever that rating is the higher that rating is the better off You're going to do and they do a rating out of a hundred so give me a hundred out of a hundred That's great But the next thing you want to look at is weighted and unweighted Weighted is against your channel and unweighted is not against your channel So it gives you a couple ideas as to what you can do there TubeBuddy will tell you if the keyword is searched often Okay, which is a good thing But it's also going to tell you how many videos were created around those keywords If you want to type in let's say patio decor into your video And it shows up on the first page because let's be honest How often do you click on page two or three when searching for something? They just don't you got to get on page one. It's rarer that anybody goes to page two Another thing that I love about TubeBuddy is that they give you similar keywords on the side So you can actually see what else you can search for I have the upgraded version so I can get unlimited keyword searches I have really one of the highest levels because I have a person that goes in there and uses my TubeBuddy So I have to have manager level in there Let's see here How many levels of membership on TubeBuddy? I think there's three Paul And I tried the free one and then I got the paid one and I have the upscale one from that So I think it's the third version I have right now But I can check that and I will have a link for that so you can check it out too But you can start with the free one, you know get use my link in the description Use the link there the kids Did kids have zip guns in your neighborhood? You know, no, they had real guns They had real guns a matter of fact my best friend Steve who I talked to you to this day You know carrying a gun and we had it in the car And I'm not I'm not going to get into a lot of detail But you had to do what you had to do back then things were a little bit different. Okay And my kids didn't have to go through that You know my kids actually went to a school where you know, they rarely even saw a fight I mean, I remember one time they came home. They were like, oh my god, there was a fight at school today I'm like, there were there are multiple fights at my school every day That was part of what was going on. I mean we would sit into a classroom Yeah, this is the truth guys The teacher would leave to go do something and people would open up the side windows and light a joint and start smoking joints In the classroom, okay, and nobody said anything you never you never told on anybody in the school like that there was a A prison kind of place in town called tall trees And the kids who had committed adult crimes actually went to tall trees Which is a prison, but during the day they had to go to school So they put them on these buses with bars on the windows and they brought them to our school to over at high school So that those were my classmates those were the people I went to school with So do I appreciate my circumstance now 100% I really do I appreciate that my kids didn't have to go through that Let's see here Zip guns fired real bullets. Yes. No, I'm familiar with what a zip gun is And they're they're they're more like a jail type thing But fortunately my neighborhood was classy enough to have real guns So I guess if that's if you consider that classy, I don't know and one more thing I want to cover today How to create content schedule to stay consistent, okay A content plan will help you keep track of your video topics How often you need to post what subjects you need to cover and what you need to complete in a task now If you think about this guys In the beginning of the week in the beginning of the week, I posted That I was going to do videos Monday through Saturday So I committed myself to every single day doing a video on a particular subject So you would know what it was uh each day So you know this entire week is all about starting a youtube channel being successful at it But when you do that when you schedule these things in advance, it forces you to do things now These are live ones. I have to prepare for them. I have to get information ready I got to get my light set up got to comb my hair brush my teeth do all that kind of stuff But when you set up these schedules guys, it will make you do stuff This helps youtube also know when to push out your content And allows you subscribers to know what day to expect new content from you if you're a digital type person You can use the notes app on your phone and you can use free digital resources like evernotes or trello to gather and create information Evernote is a free note taking app that allows you to digitize your thoughts That you can access on your computer tablet mobile device This option is also helpful when you want to jot something down or on the go Or you don't have a pen or paper nearby and I never have better paper I don't write anything down. I either try to remember it or I put it in my phone Trello is a free web-based list making software. It'll help you jot down quick lists It also integrates well with other apps The google calendar, if you're looking for well-rounded software, I like trello a lot. It helps you organize your life So You'll also want to include the following details inside your content schedule the date you're going to post The time and time zone really important guys And I I need to probably switch my time zone on my videos. I upload. I don't know. I'm still toying with that You need to copy to include the video title keywords and description and you need a thumbnail All of these things are necessary guys and you got to do it on a regular basis I see so many people start a youtube channel and they'll get a thousand or 1500 subscribers and then they just quit They have no idea how close to making money and and getting monetized and really blowing up. They are now my youtube channel It's not a huge one. Okay. I think we got we're pushing 6 000 people But you know what I started with zero and you know what everybody did and I know at some point I'll have 10 000 subscribers and I know I'll have 100 000 subscribers And it only grows every time I put forth effort, you know, and my wife and I were talking about this last night we went on a walk And um, we were we were saying you know the problem with most people achieving success Is they want to see it immediately after they've done their work They want to do a video and they will see a lot of likes and comments and And subscribers and all that but it doesn't work that way guys life doesn't work that way You have to put forth, you know yesterday as we went on our walk as we went on our walk Um, I had one person that made two purchases now our walk was not long yesterday It was like 20 minutes because it was going to start raining. Um, and in that 20 minutes Each order they put in was right on right close to $900. So I made $1,800 and I walked for 20 minutes And I looked at her and I said look at this. I made $1,800 for walking 20 minutes and doing nothing for it And then we looked at each other. I said no, I've been doing work on this for 11 years almost 12 years now To be able to make that money, but for the first years. I wasn't making much Okay, and a lot of the work I did I saw zero results that day But they were all planting seeds and that's what a youtube channel is your planting seeds You're not going to get results immediately But I promise if you don't quit you will get results I promise you this guys every single person who doesn't quit gets results I don't know anybody who has 5 000 videos on the channel and still doesn't have any subscribers It doesn't exist if you put forth the effort you're going to get better You're going to do better and people are going to find you. You've got to put forth the effort first with no results in the beginning No results. You got to be able to handle that A commitment mindset gets you on the path Self-confidence is the key everyone here is to go get her and ultimately will be successful 100 percent Let's see here Do you work with kids you grew up with helping them out of that mindset? You know I I was part of a mentor community Where I helped at risk kids and it was through junior achievement and I went into schools in virginia beach, virginia And these kids were bad kids And I talked to them and helped them out. So yes, I did that. I was also a foster parent To a at risk child Before I had kids her name was crystal because that was her dad's favorite drug and So yeah, I fostered that little girl and don't know where she is to this day I would really like to know and we are looking at actually fostering again here in the texas system We filled out some paperwork the other day and we're going to be actually checking that out too. So yeah, I do I do reach back if that's what you're asking Currently working on the podcast to encourage them to start part-time You're the perfect example of starting part-time while you had day job. Yeah, I had to I had to because I had to pay the bills I was a single dad. So I still had to pay the bills. How do you know when you should try different tactics? Um, well when something's not getting results, you may want to switch tactics, but don't switch too soon You know, I would start a youtube channel with a niche and something I wanted to do and I would do it for six months And see if you give subscribers And if you get a few hundred subscribers, you're probably on the right track So, you know, give it six months though of doing something on youtube six months And I mean consistently posting two or three videos a week for six months and see what happens then step back and look at it um Let's see here. What's your opinion of think media's youtube tutorials. I think they're excellent james. I like them very much I went to a meeting they had Outside of la and I think it was for vid summit Uh and both those guys they were benji and I can't think of the other guys name off top I had I've read their book. I think it's really good stuff I think they're very genuine. I think they're very honest. I think they do a really good job Every, you know, and the one guy has a tech channel too So I've met him and I have high high regards for those guys. I really do Um, I think they've done an excellent job. I think he follows some of their tutorials I think you'll get some really good results Um, it was funny when we were in the room one of them was speaking the the taller guy and I Sean I think his name is sean cannell And he was speaking and there was a guy in the room And he stood up and he went to ask a question and and sean yeah sean cannell. That's right And sean says sure which question he says well, you know, I'm doing videos and I'm just not getting any results I'm just not getting any results. Uh, I've tried really hard and I just don't know what I'm doing well so Sean says, uh, okay. Well, uh, let me fix my computer here He says, uh, how many videos have you done and the guy says I've done 10 And sean's face kind of sunk 10 is not like right. He said, okay. All right. Well, that's a good start When was the last time you did a video and the guy said six months ago So so you understand the mindset of so many people and I hope you picked up on that that six months is way too long To not do a video Too many people want to put forth very little effort and expect great results If he was doing 10 videos a month Or you know five a week and he did that for six months and didn't get results That would be a valid question, but he hasn't done enough to ever even get discovered yet. He hasn't done anything. He thinks He's done a lot of work and he hasn't done a lot of work So it takes a lot more than what you think guys right now on my youtube channel I have over a thousand videos I haven't looked lately. Excuse me Let's see. Uh, besides youtube, where do you push your content out to? Um, all the videos I do on youtube are also on facebook So they get there and they also go on to my website. So they go in three places and there's also links to Um twitter, I think it is twitter. I have a social media person that does all this for me But I think it's twitter, um where there's links for every time I do a video So those four outlets, I will tell you by far youtube is the best one out of all of them I probably don't push the other ones as much because I just put links there And since there are links from other social media platforms, they probably don't show them as much But I get the most out of youtube. So guys that is my training for today Tomorrow i'm going to get into some of the equipment you're going to need i'll talk all about equipment And many other things tomorrow. We got a lot to cover tomorrow While you do six six days a week. That's the average. What do you uh, what what does the average you think to be successful? Man, I wish I could answer that question for you. I really do Um, you know, some people will blow up doing one video a week But it's a really elaborate video with a lot of editing and a lot of camera work and you know, a lot goes into it Um, but there's people like quantron. I watch him. He's he does cooking videos. There's sloppy. There's very little editing There's no thumbnails really. Um, there's no into the video There's no intro to the video and he's got a personality that just draws people excuse me draws people in I would say for the average person To grow a youtube channel you're going to need to publish at least two or three videos a week To really get started and I know somebody's going to say. Oh, no, you're going to do five or you know I know this guy only does one video a month and he's got millions of followers. Okay, but for the average person Okay, that's what i'm talking about the majority if you want to know what the majority does It's two to three videos a week. That's what you're going to have to do to really get any results Is your website on kartra peace and blessings always everyone Now my website is on wordpress.
