The Growth Strategy That Earned Several Million Subscribers for These Channels [Ep. #227]
When you're a smaller channel, you typically follow a growth strategy that focuses on search, keywords, and making the content as short and to-the-point as possible. While there's nothing wrong with that, you'll notice that many channels with several million subscribers do NOT do that. They're not focused on keywords and there's a lot of "unnecessary" fluff. Why? If you already have some traction on YouTube, but it feels too slow, today we want to share with you a different strategy for growth, one that more closely emulates what successful channels are doing.

How Knowing your Perfect Viewer Leads to Millions More [feat. VidIQ] [Ep. #226]

Today, Liron from VidIQ joins us to talk through how we can get to know our target audience and its implications for how we craft videos that earn millions of views and subscribers.

What makes you feel beautiful?
This week we're doing something a little different. Instead of us answering one of your questions, we're asking YOU a question. In a couple weeks I'll take all of your video responses and comments and compile them together into a video in such a way that will help us understand some things about ourselves. Hope you will participate!

How To Handle Stress!
Stress is something we all deal with, probably throughout most of our lives. Learning to handle it appropriately at a young age is very important. While you're a teenager, there's pressure from school, parents, friends, and work that can stress you out. When you grow up, a lot of those same things can continue to be stressful. In this week's video, several adults and a teenager give advice about how to handle stress and suggest some ways you can start to deal with stress in your life. Hope this helps. We love you guys!
