Dillan interviews Aprilynne Alter (@AprilynneAlter), a beginner-friendly YouTube educator.

Aprilynne made a viral video in a niche she wasn't passionate about. It almost ended her YouTube career. But since then, she's taken off in a new niche she loves: helping others grow on YouTube.

They discuss how to avoid creator burnout, why Aprilynne quit her successful channel, how to choose the right niche, how to deal with online trolls and haters, how to make great thumbnails, how to be patient and persistent, and much more.
