How to Find and Train a ROCKSTAR Virtual Assistant May 23, 2022

Show notes

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.

POWER TIP YouTube is optimizing more for podcasts. If you're struggling to keep up with all of the engaging editing, podcasts can be more lax, so if you've been thinking about starting a podcast anyways or are looking for a more lax version of content, you might consider doing podcasting on YouTube: Uploading a podcast to YouTube - https://castos.com/upload-a-podcast-to-youtube/ Should you upload your podcast to YouTube? - https://youtu.be/ikf3JCUgrz0

YouTube, why are you giving us a keyword research tool? Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

While we love most of the updates YouTube is rolling out lately, some of them have us scratching our heads while others just downright annoy us. Either way, the updates help us understand the direction YouTube is taking as a platform and what their goals are so we can make better videos that align with their goals and see better performance than they otherwise would. Today four of the YouTube strategists on the Video Creators team sat down and reacted to many of the updates YouTube has announced and started rolling out while we also discuss what it means for us as creators who are growing our audiences here.

The State of Brand Deals in 2022 [Ep. #309] Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Importance of Changing Your YouTube Growth Strategy at 1K, 10K, and 100K Subscribers Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Hello, Creator! We're coming at you with a new podcast episode today. I recently got to go to the Social Media Marketing World conference and hang out with a creator friend of mine - Brian G. Johnson! Brian also teaches creators how to grow their YouTube channels and businesses online and it was great to get to connect with him.

I asked Brian a little bit about his growth process because the strategies that get you to 10,000 subscribers aren't the same strategies that get you to 100,000.

Here's what Brian had to say.
