Purpose To Your Content

Marketing Techniques that you can apply to your content, to maximise views and reach. Without over producing videos and burning out... too many new content creators follow poor advice surrounding upload schedules. That leads you to creating pointless videos and wasting time.  

Content Strategy is so important, to build momentum with each upload.

Finding Your Audience 

Finding a "Niche" is a cringe term loads of growth gurus throw around online. This only effective in the short term for getting 50,000 subscribers. But, there is a massive difference between followers and fans.

Creating content for a "Niche" results in a transactional relationship with your community. They only want you for that one topic and don't watch because of you... this is bad as it traps you into creating a single style of content. I explain how to avoid this. 

Branding

Once you understand how to find your audience, branding will fall into place  The reason why creating a brand is so difficult is because the foundational knowledge you need to work from is often overlooked.
