Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey Rob Balasabas - How To Maximize Views And Engagement On YouTube
On every episode we’ve had where we talked about YouTube, we don’t think there’s ever been a show where TubeBuddy is not mentioned as part of the tool stack. Rob Balasabas is a Brand Evangelist and Partnership Manager for TubeBuddy and today we are chatting about such things as how to approach YouTube as co-creators, how to use TubeBuddy to analyze your channel as well as best practices for the all-important thumbnail. We have been using TubeBuddy ourselves and it’s a rock-solid tool to help you grow your YouTube channel.
Rob even talks about how he was able to grow his own personal channel and tips that you can use if you have a new channel yourself. There are so many cool tools within TubeBuddy that even we were not aware of, and in addition to the tactics we cover, one of the most fascinating parts that we discuss and which comes into play with YouTube is how media, in general, is changing and how well-known media personalities have evolved. After you have listened, be sure to check out our chats with Sunny Lenarduzzi on how to build a world-class brand on YouTube and with Aaron Biblow & Triston Goodwin and their awesome Video Flywheel strategy.
