About this episode
A little over a year ago I decided to start a YouTube channel for the Bamby Media brand.
Not because we were searching for more clients, chasing extra revenue or I as the founder was interested in becoming a full-time content creator.
Our mission was simple:
Build a YouTube channel that serves as our live testing ground - a place where we could experiment, fail, and succeed with content strategies before implementing them for our clients' channels.
We needed to be the guinea pigs for strategies we wanted our clients to try.
That is what landed me on YouTube creating content once a week.
Over the last 12 months, I have learned many lessons that I felt would be valuable for the aspiring YouTuber to take into consideration.
So here they are for you.
You’re welcome.
