A few weeks ago, my team gave you all the opportunity to ask me anything and everything you want over on our YouTube Community Tab. Some of the questions were about YouTube while some of them are about parenting and my personal life. So today, I am answering all your burning questions.   Links in this Episode:  Creator Spotlight: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPt-T6kAzK4-uUJOGR37eSw  YT Community: https://www.youtube.com/@VideoCreators/community  Business Marriage Family Podcast: https://www.businessfamilymarriage.com/  Power Tip:  https://youtu.be/teuIJ-f7Nfc    JOIN THE POD SQUAD AFTER-PARTY IN VOLLEY: We love answering questions, hearing your feedback, and discussing each podcast episode with you and hundreds of other creators in our video chat Volley space.

It's a common story. You feel like you need to chase views to continue to be successful. But then, you start to lose the love for what you're doing. The passion is gone. You watch your competition and start forcing your content into what you think it needs to be. It becomes a task, which makes you forget why you started in the first place. This is a red flag, that ultimately can lead to creator burn out. Have you been there? Are you there? If so, this is for you.    Links in this episode Creator Spotlight: https://www.youtube.com/c/TortureTestMagazine Discovery Call: https://videocreators.com/seven-signals/discovery-call/  Why You’ll Quit YT in 5 Years:  https://youtu.be/2jc_KoxYw54  JOIN THE POD SQUAD AFTER-PARTY IN VOLLEY: We love answering questions, hearing your feedback, and discussing each podcast episode with you and hundreds of other creators in our video chat Volley space.

We work with tons of creators and we see this problem all the time. You feel like you made the perfect video, but it just falls flat. It was perfect! What happened?! Well, the problem is, you can be really good at getting information across without making any personal connection. And without making your viewer feel SOMETHING, they probably won't care enough to subscribe or buy something from you. In this episode, we are going to talk about how to fix that.

A lot of us are creating content, selling courses, making podcasts, etc which provides a lot of value to our audiences. But today I want to talk about coaching, which has a lot of benefits as well. With coaching, you can give and sell your information directly to those who want it. And you can tailor your expertise to each client and apply it exactly to their situation, helping them out so much more than posting a video.

Good content strategy on YouTube isn't about hacks and tricks. It's all about learning to think about your content the way YouTube thinks about it. When we align our content strategy with what YouTube wants to surface, it increases the likelihood that our content gets surfaced. One of the ways we can learn how YouTube thinks is to understand their story, both how and why they made certain decisions along the way.
