you're probably the most real UA-camr i've ever seen! I started out this month with around 20 subs, and after posting daily videos for only a week, I now have 90! so thank you! 😃
I think you should provide content to viewers as if you already have 100k subscribers, even when you just have 12 or so, this way you're focused on higher quality content. great video!
I had to go grab my lunch to keep watching this video. The video is wow really long but very educative. I watched till the end. YAY! It felt like a seminar!!! Thanks for this wonderful content
Quality and uniqueness of content, at least that's my take on it. I've found a niche that I can dominate. Now I'm trying to learn more about how UA-cam works. that's how I found my way to your video. Although I've been subscribed to you for a while. I must of watched a few of your Photoshop how to's.
Great point about updating your thumbnails. Of all the UA-cam Creator Tips guys, you are my favorite. And I watch most of the big ones. Down-to earth and honest advice.
great video.. i watched the whole thing.. this is the longest video I ever watched and u had my attention all through out the video... I will definitely be sharing this video with friends.
One of the best youtube videos I've seen about youtube, I made sure I watched the whole thing. This content is pure gold, super helpful and super useful.Thank you so much and congrats for your 100k!
Thank you for talking about video length, that has been a hard one for me because I do informative videos and always see the duration showing like 2-3 minutes out of 10 minutes. Some of my shorter videos do well too, but I always felt bad if it went over 10 minutes because I felt it was hurting me to gain new subscribers or a relationship. The consistency is something I need to get back into. I do a variety of content, but all things that I am interested in that show my passions. Overall this video was perfect! Thank you so much for this advice, time to do the grind! :D
Hey Roberto, I have a question about the regularity. My videos currently take 4 weeks to put together working evenings and weekends because they are animated. Am I going to have to accept stunted growth until I can go full time, sacrifice quality, or is there consistency without weekly consistency?
Oh Blake thank you!!! I just started to take youtube serious a few weeks ago, because I realized how powerful it is for anyone who owns a business. This is just golden advice! I am going to watch this video so much during this year! Do you have any videos on how to make channel art or could you do a video on that? I really need a better banner! Thank you so much for the advice!
Thanks Roberto: I like that you harangue people about being passionate about what you do! You're right, if you do this for the ratings, the subscribers, or the $$, you're going to burn out and give up in despair. As well, the advice that some videos need to be longer is solid. I was sort of trying to keep mine under 10 minutes, but some of the material that I cover in the trucking profession does not lend itself to being described in a 2 or 3 minute vide. Thanks again, Cheers Rick
Hey, Roberto. Just discovered you. As a newer content creator, I've watched a ton of videos covering this topic. You're actually giving me the exact opposite advice from most videos that cover the topic and your advice makes so much sense. I've kinda come to some of the same conclusions that you have from my experiences over the last year with UA-cam but you've also taught me lots of new stuff I haven't thought of before. Thanks, yo!
I never clicked on this video because of the length... But so glad I did now! You have a lot of good info you haven't given in past videos and I love it! Thanks as always!
+Financial Education I know people get intimidated by the length. I did this on purpose. For one thing, there is no other way to honestly tell you how I did it. Almost every other video with this title that is shorter from other UA-camrs is fluff. It mostly is them unboxing a play button and repeating basics. If people are genuinely serious about finding out how an adult builds UA-cam on business sense, career savvy and data, this video is for them. The length weeds out people not ready to be serious or who want easy things and short cuts. 49 minutes will save people months of frustration.
+Roberto Blake completely agree! I just watched a Marquez brownlee video where he had like 75 subscriber at 100 videos. Now he is one of the most powerful tech reviewers in the world. So many people think youtube is "easy" and when they post a few videos and they find that they haven't gone viral or something crazy... They just give up... Kind of like this video.. Some people see it is 49 minutes of advice and they just.... Give up 😒
I cannot believe that I just used up 50 minutes of my time watching this video, it was totally worth it!! Thank you for the effort you had put in. I started watching your videos of marketings and UA-cam Adsense guides last night and immediately can't get my thoughts off of it. You gave me a lot to think about for my golf drills channel at taiwan, I might move on and restart another channel in English and follow the steps of yours so I would potentially get more people to watch and learn.Thx Roberto!
I just wanted to chime in and say I've had a paid consulting session with Roberto and found it to be well worth the investment. While it won't fit into everyone's budget, do know that if it does fit in your budget it you will likely find it very helpful. I look forward to having Roberto analyze my channel again once I've put all the things brought up in our session into practice.
i saw 47 mins for this video and my eyes literally popped but i remembered that i really want to succeed at UA-cam and i've watched you other videos before and know that you know what you are talking about so i wasn't that surprised when i found out i sat through you whole video. thank you so much for this. i am only starting out so this really helped and was really motivating
Even with a few thousand subscribers, my animation channel has a problem with getting suggested. Most of the tutorials I found online cover search types of videos. But I really hope someday I reach 100,000, and your videos have really helped me.
Roberto, my wife and enjoy watching your videos so much. We are working on growing our channel (blacksmithing) and there are so many gold nuggets of info you share. You have a very level headed approach that I really appreciate. Thank you!
Roberto Blake It is so awesome that you took the time to message me back! keep up the great work on investing in your UA-cam community and you will keep on growing in life time subs like me! Thank you for having a positive impact on the world . God bless you and have a great week.
I started my channel recently, and I'm trying to study what works and what doesn't work. I'm actually purposely not posting my channel on my personal Facebook. I don't want people to subscribe just because they know me. I'd rather see that random people subscribe due to the quality of my content.
More than anything you have to be consistent and always objective with yourself and ask if you gave something you did the best shot at reaching as many people as possible. I find everyday that I feel, I can do more and so I continue to just keep pushing until I get to a point where I don't feel there was more I could have done...
On the web not sure theeee reason your teccchnique doesn't work. Although Im definitely haappy.... I discovered legal application on this sitee. twitter.com/482dcb24f7261868e/status/789423658326380545 How to Get 100KKКK Subscribers In UA-cam
Thanks for the long form video Roberto. I don't think I have heard many people discuss UA-cam collaborations like you just did. This has been my experience, limited success. Thank you for the honesty.
Can you share clues? We gave same target, I'm really working on content a d most times I wonder why with all the right tags still doesn't attract desired subscribers
30 minutes in and still watching! Learning a lot from you. Just got my channel avatar today. My channel is 1 month old and I have 21 videos. You're an inspiration, especially how friendly you are and how in-depth you go. Congrats on your SILVER play button! Thx again Roberto
I would question one point made in this video (and also made by several other youtubers) - this idea that you have to promise to deliver videos on a certain schedule and stick to it - WHY?? If I've been enjoying your videos twice a week, and you switch to twice a month, I'm still going to enjoy your videos. You don't need to apologise for missing a week - it just makes you seen insecure about your own content. I'm not going to unsubscribe from your channel just because I would like to hear from you more often - that makes no sense. I HAVE unsubscribed from channels which post every day, because a) it's a little overwhelming, and b) the quality tends to suffer when the quantity is this high. So I would say aim to get plenty of content out there, but always put quality before quantity.
I think if you do have amazing content a schedule isn't necessary but a schedule can only help because then your viewers can expect to see you and you will get more views in the first 48 hours of uploading. I have been horrible at keeping a schedule. When I'm consistent and tend to get more interaction early on. So a few times I've tried making daily videos at the expense of quality and these videos always do much worse then a consistent weekly video. The key is to find a pace that works for you where your quality can be consistent.
You're the man Roberto! I've watched a lot of your videos on UA-cam optimization and growth, and you always come with great advice. I've used your advice, and got over 10K views on several videos despite having less than 500 subs at the time. Thanks for the help, and keep up the hard work.
I've moved to twice daily uploads now. I'm taking UA-cam as seriously as possible now, alternating between hyperlocal content (high demand, not much video content) which gets me the most interaction and views. SEO is starting to help me there. And I'm also doing evergreen how-to videos for international students. Finally starting to see growth!
Hello Alberto, Right now I'm at 22:44 and you are giving so much value that I'm staying to the end. I subscribed around 9 minutes. I'm looking forward to your next uploads... Go! Go! Go! :)
You. Are. The man! I haven't started my channel or even ordered my camera yet but I'm doing as much research as possible before delving into it! I watched the whole thing. Thank you.
Congrats Roberto! I am Earl Peters , Graphic designer and animator, I particularly love 3d design and animation. I am from South Africa and there are a variety of your videos that encourage me to keep going and creating! Thanks!
I've seen the first 15 minutes of your video and will continue later. I think the problem with my channel's growth is that it focuses on gaming and it's in Arabic. I am only targeting a specific category of people. Most people don't care about games and usually the first movers are the ones that achieve massive growth. Don't get me wrong my channel is growing but not by much. I feel like I want to have a channel that will have 1 million+ subscribers and I don't think I'll achieve that goal with this channel. Sorry for the long comment.
Dude what does Arabic have to do with anything,i like your channel and i subbed,btw you got a pretty strong communitty for a begginner,now dont get me wrong i dont say that you will reach 1M subs any time soon,but u will reach it ,just keep uploading high quality content,btw i have the same dream of reaching 1M subs :)
This video was extremely helpful. You are so right this was long but the information was very well put together and did not feel long. I am happy with the length and details outlined. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Yeah, in itself the length may turn some people off, but at the same time I feel like it was something I need to make, 1 single video with a general outline of exactly what it takes. Since making this video I've almost added 100K more subscribers to this community and I think that shows even more proof of the thesis behind it.
I know you are so right. I am totally just starting out and have like 15 subs. I have had my channel for a while but never uploaded anything til like last month. So I am hoping to put some of these practices in action. You are very good at what you do.
This is some good advice. I try to do daily VLOGS, but make them engaging with a variety of camera shots and quick-thinking opinions. I really hope i can grow and stick with this channel, i've been on youtube for years with a variety of channels wrestling channel, gaming channel ect. But i feel that these VLOGS I'm doing are more rewards and i'm really trying to improve by making them more snappy - i don't want 3 minute shots of me talking into a camera and a quick cutaway, trying to create quick 30 second-60 second shots into a camera, but then do a variety of different angles to engage my audience. Thanks for this video Roberto Blake.
Roberto, I appreciate you man! Recently decided to go all in on UA-cam & Instagram and I'm so happy I came across your channel! You've cleared my mind on a lot of things and made the reality of how much hard work is needed clear but also how it is all possible. I watched until the absolute end and certainly will be back! Fantastic interview on the UA-cam Creators Hub as well!
Im going to be 1 of those subscribers who only watch the videos u have that apply to my issues but I subd anyway because this was so informative, I actually watched to the end and I trust that u will put forth quality content on a issue I might have.
This was so good! You are on target with growing your channel. We are going through a rapid growth now and we couldn't be more excited. Consistency is key! tfs, Tracey
Hi roberto .. I am from india ..I love your videos ..they are soo helpful and your intentions behind doing this work is soo clean that it reaches out to your viewers hearts..We are proud of you ..Thank you !!
This was very inspirational video to me, I have a very small channel, my subs mean everything, I have a few goals set for this year. Thank you keep making great work.
May be the first time I clicked a 50 minute video & am still listening past minute 15 without there being a motorcycle or something to do directly with my channel :) Good stuff Robertooo 👌👌👌
Thanks for the advice about meaningful comments instead of linking your channel. Haha I see that done a lot and it often deters me from subscribing to a channel. Lots of great info on here. Great work!
I've watched your videos and have been putting in strong work, uploads everyday and consistently getting better in editing and interacting in my videos. I hope it pays off someday. and you're right you have to be doing this for fun and not to try and get famous and rich!
First time I have seen this video and I can say everything you are saying in this video is spot on! I have had slow steady growth on our channel for years now and I plan on taking more from what you have said here and applying it to our vlog channel. I've been following you on Twitter for a while now and today I can now say I am a Subscriber to ya as well. Thanks for the knowledge you are dropping!
I have just started back up after a while. I have just under 10k subs but been away for a long time. This video was amazing! The tips have been great and I really appreciate this. You are a great man. Keep up the great work.
Wow Roberto, I totally agree with what you said about the length of a video. I had people who suggests me to make short videos but my point of view is the same as yours. My purpose is to build a relationship and motivate others to live a healthy lifestyle by sharing my way of eating healthy and delicious food, and my yoga practice experience. I didn't want to shrink my videos into just 5 minutes because like you said, it is watered down and platforms such as instagram and Facebook can be better used for short messages and tips! And I have to confess, I came to see who would be interested in my channel and sub but instead I watched your video and subbed you!
I think this video has a lot of great content. I originally wasn't going to watch if you had under 100k in the first place so I'm glad I watched a few months after you posted it, especially since you've grown a lot in terms of subscriber amount in the little time since it's been posted. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to make this. Helpful info which taught me to focus more on quality and getting better at making the videos vs. being too focused on subscribers. I re organised my channel and am working on getting professional art done to give that professional look.
Hey from NZ Roberto! Thank you so much for this. I'm an audio creator here on UA-cam (so no visuals), and it's funny - back in June of last year when I started, I was releasing like, 1 audio a month if that. And I knew NOTHING about how to optimize. Then I had an audio hit that's given me a relatively stable sub base, and for at least the last month, I've been focussing on putting out regular and diverse content coz I'm DEFS not here for the fame. I'm here to share my perspective and creativity. I know I'm in this for the long haul and am consuming content from you, Derral and Tim like lollies at the moment (I just signed up to Tim's Patreon a few mins ago actually). And I'm trialling out TubeBuddy (and LOVING it). I'm working on SEO right now and will be looking at some of my old stuff to re-optimize. Anyways - thank you again! This was awesome ☯️
DAMN DUDE You did it!! Congrats on 100k! I was watching your newest video but saw this thumbnail and had to come here instead, it just made too much sense :) I like it when people leave comments like below that get a large response from you because you will reply with interesting info in there too.
Loved the tip about bulk recording and bulk editing - I'm approaching ten videos and have already started doing two or three in one sitting! I've also found heaps of great channels in the comments here 😊
Word. I do love the way you talk, just the push and pull of your dialog is engrossing. I am pretty sure I have said that before but it is true. You make meal size videos and I make snack food. I wish I knew as much about the tech and analytical part of this stuff as you do but I am just a film maker and idea guy I have content and the marketing of it is a low part for me. I really like your videos and value your wisdom. Thanks for doing what you do. Best day & Best wishes to you & yours. :)
you're probably the most real UA-camr i've ever seen! I started out this month with around 20 subs, and after posting daily videos for only a week, I now have 90! so thank you! 😃
Really glad that after 3 weeks you are at 360+ subs. Love how you're achieving it.
I think you should provide content to viewers as if you already have 100k subscribers, even when you just have 12 or so, this way you're focused on higher quality content. great video!
I had to go grab my lunch to keep watching this video. The video is wow really long but very educative. I watched till the end. YAY! It felt like a seminar!!! Thanks for this wonderful content
It's my goal by the end of this year!!!
Wish me luck!!!!!
PS New subbie 😌
+superholly awesome!
You've got an awesome way of saying things simply. Thanks.
I just hit 90k subs this week, and your advice is spot on.Consistency is the key.
+Dogumentary TV awesome! That is tremendous. What helped most beyond consistency
Quality and uniqueness of content, at least that's my take on it. I've found a niche that I can dominate. Now I'm trying to learn more about how UA-cam works. that's how I found my way to your video. Although I've been subscribed to you for a while. I must of watched a few of your Photoshop how to's.
Robert, much appreciated for this video! Only ~1500 subs so far, but working hard to get there.
fingers crossed!
Gravy Beats that's good! Good luck!
Great point about updating your thumbnails. Of all the UA-cam Creator Tips guys, you are my favorite. And I watch most of the big ones. Down-to earth and honest advice.

One of the best youtube videos I've seen about youtube, I made sure I watched the whole thing. This content is pure gold, super helpful and super useful.Thank you so much and congrats for your 100k!
I also watched the entire thing. Didn't even notice. Great content!

Thanks for being a true youtuber with great knowledge
Enjoying watching your videos, and learning a lot. Starting to apply these things to my channel.
This has so much good info. Thanks again.
Oh Blake thank you!!! I just started to take youtube serious a few weeks ago, because I realized how powerful it is for anyone who owns a business. This is just golden advice!

+Shundara Castion I will in the future, in the meantime consider using Canva
Your voice is so relaxing 😌 I could listen to you all day 🙌🏾

Nice job, Roberto. Here's to hoping I can make that jump from "medium-sized" to "big youtuber" haha
this video is awesome!!! helped me out so much!! big thanks from a small (with the help from this vid hopefully growing soon) youtuber!!

Hey! I recently started my channel and I've been watching a bunch of your videos and I just wanted to say they have been really helpful. Thank you!😁
I found this video so informative and helpful! Hopefully these tips will work for me too :)
Holli Joy Roddy Daisy Owl BTR 123425 thank you so much! Just spend some time on it xx
Great stuff man! Great video! Well said!
Good tips!
Great tips! I've started my channel 6 months ago and hopefully it will be worth my while. I will follow some of your suggestions
I'm now 49 away from my first 1k subs and almost half at to my required views! Thanks for the advice!
Congratulations!!
How are you still 49 away!
I just wanted to chime in and say I've had a paid consulting session with Roberto and found it to be well worth the investment.

Thanks so much!
What in the video helped the most?
I'm literally going through all of your videos in this playlist man lol!
Learning so much.

THANKS
I have learned a lot since I discovered you, it was through a bad experience and swindled out of course on You Tube I have discover you. Grateful.

You. Are. The man! I haven't started my channel or even ordered my camera yet but I'm doing as much research as possible before delving into it! I watched the whole thing. Thank you.
Thanks for the video !
Cant wait till try the tips to my youtube channel!
Thank you Roberto, I watched the entire video and will rewatch again and take notes now. I have started taking your advice. Thank you!
Congrats Roberto! I am Earl Peters , Graphic designer and animator, I particularly love 3d design and animation. I am from South Africa and there are a variety of your videos that encourage me to keep going and creating! Thanks!
I love your channel! Thank you for helping newbies like me understanding UA-cam better!
+Lamise O thanks for watching.
I've seen the first 15 minutes of your video and will continue later.
I think the problem with my channel's growth is that it focuses on gaming and it's in Arabic.
I am only targeting a specific category of people. Most people don't care about games and usually
the first movers are the ones that achieve massive growth.
Don't get me wrong my channel is growing but not by much.
I feel like I want to have a channel that will have 1 million+ subscribers
and I don't think I'll achieve that goal with this channel.
Sorry for the long comment.
Dude what does Arabic have to do with anything,i like your channel and i subbed,btw you got a pretty strong communitty for a begginner,now dont get me wrong i dont say that you will reach 1M subs any time soon,but u will reach it ,just keep uploading high quality content,btw i have the same dream of reaching 1M subs :)
Speyds Thanks :) What I meant is that if I made my channel in English then I would be targeting a wider audience.
Yeah man but why not Arabic its still cool :)
This video was extremely helpful. You are so right this was long but the information was very well put together and did not feel long. I am happy with the length and details outlined. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Yeah, in itself the length may turn some people off, but at the same time I feel like it was something I need to make, 1 single video with a general outline of exactly what it takes. Since making this video I've almost added 100K more subscribers to this community and I think that shows even more proof of the thesis behind it.
I know you are so right. I am totally just starting out and have like 15 subs. I have had my channel for a while but never uploaded anything til like last month. So I am hoping to put some of these practices in action. You are very good at what you do.
This is some good advice. I try to do daily VLOGS, but make them engaging with a variety of camera shots and quick-thinking opinions. I really hope i can grow and stick with this channel, i've been on youtube for years with a variety of channels wrestling channel, gaming channel ect. But i feel that these VLOGS I'm doing are more rewards and i'm really trying to improve by making them more snappy - i don't want 3 minute shots of me talking into a camera and a quick cutaway, trying to create quick 30 second-60 second shots into a camera, but then do a variety of different angles to engage my audience. Thanks for this video Roberto Blake.
Roberto, I appreciate you man!
Recently decided to go all in on UA-cam & Instagram and I'm so happy I came across your channel! You've cleared my mind on a lot of things and made the reality of how much hard work is needed clear but also how it is all possible. I watched until the absolute end and certainly will be back! Fantastic interview on the UA-cam Creators Hub as well!
Im going to be 1 of those subscribers who only watch the videos u have that apply to my issues but I subd anyway because this was so informative, I actually watched to the end and I trust that u will put forth quality content on a issue I might have.
Awesome! If you're issues revolve around UA-cam, the odds are my existing playlist of over 100 Videos covering that probably has stuff for you.
This was so good! You are on target with growing your channel. We are going through a rapid growth now and we couldn't be more excited. Consistency is key! tfs, Tracey
Yup gotta be consistent
ITS SO DISCOURAGING IM LOST
I love long videos like this that are jam packed with good info. Thanks for the vid bro!
Hi roberto .. I am from india ..I love your videos ..they are soo helpful and your intentions behind doing this work is soo clean that it reaches out to your viewers hearts..We are proud of you ..Thank you !!
This was very inspirational video to me, I have a very small channel, my subs mean everything, I have a few goals set for this year. Thank you keep making great work.
May be the first time I clicked a 50 minute video & am still listening past minute 15 without there being a motorcycle or something to do directly with my channel :) Good stuff Robertooo 👌👌👌
Thank you so much for this.... I will work on it :)
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Great video man you bring quality!
This is the best video hands down I've seen about growing your UA-cam channel. Amazing!
Thanks for the advice about meaningful comments instead of linking your channel. Haha I see that done a lot and it often deters me from subscribing to a channel. Lots of great info on here. Great work!
Sarah Crookall Your channel looks so interesting, I've always been interested in writing! Subscribed 😊
I've watched your videos and have been putting in strong work, uploads everyday and consistently getting better in editing and interacting in my videos. I hope it pays off someday. and you're right you have to be doing this for fun and not to try and get famous and rich!
Best video i have seen on this topic. You speak the truth, thank you for that. Keep up the great work ;)
This is amazing content. Thank you for creating it Roberto! See you at the top!
+Tremain Hayhoe 😉
First time I have seen this video and I can say everything you are saying in this video is spot on! I have had slow steady growth on our channel for years now and I plan on taking more from what you have said here and applying it to our vlog channel. I've been following you on Twitter for a while now and today I can now say I am a Subscriber to ya as well. Thanks for the knowledge you are dropping!
I have just started back up after a while.
I have just under 10k subs but been away for a long time.
This video was amazing!
The tips have been great and I really appreciate this.
You are a great man.
Keep up the great work.
I love your videos!
Wow Roberto, I totally agree with what you said about the length of a video. I had people who suggests me to make short videos but my point of view is the same as yours. My purpose is to build a relationship and motivate others to live a healthy lifestyle by sharing my way of eating healthy and delicious food, and my yoga practice experience. I didn't want to shrink my videos into just 5 minutes because like you said, it is watered down and platforms such as instagram and Facebook can be better used for short messages and tips! And I have to confess, I came to see who would be interested in my channel and sub but instead I watched your video and subbed you!
I think this video has a lot of great content. I originally wasn't going to watch if you had under 100k in the first place so I'm glad I watched a few months after you posted it, especially since you've grown a lot in terms of subscriber amount in the little time since it's been posted. Thank you!
this really helps honestly, thank you Roberto!
What about the video did you find most helpful?
Roberto Blake I never knew what tube buddy was, or did I use Keywords, or anything like that. Already Tube Buddy has been a big help.
Thank you for taking the time to make this. Helpful info which taught me to focus more on quality and getting better at making the videos vs. being too focused on subscribers. I re organised my channel and am working on getting professional art done to give that professional look.
Hey from NZ Roberto! Thank you so much for this. I'm an audio creator here on UA-cam (so no visuals), and it's funny - back in June of last year when I started, I was releasing like, 1 audio a month if that. And I knew NOTHING about how to optimize. Then I had an audio hit that's given me a relatively stable sub base, and for at least the last month, I've been focussing on putting out regular and diverse content coz I'm DEFS not here for the fame. I'm here to share my perspective and creativity. I know I'm in this for the long haul and am consuming content from you, Derral and Tim like lollies at the moment (I just signed up to Tim's Patreon a few mins ago actually). And I'm trialling out TubeBuddy (and LOVING it). I'm working on SEO right now and will be looking at some of my old stuff to re-optimize. Anyways - thank you again! This was awesome ☯️
So awesome brother. God bless you...I am very proud of you.
Very nice. Watched the whole thing, and subscribed. What I like about you is that you are genuine.
DAMN DUDE You did it!! Congrats on 100k! I was watching your newest video but saw this thumbnail and had to come here instead, it just made too much sense :) I like it when people leave comments like below that get a large response from you because you will reply with interesting info in there too.
Loved the tip about bulk recording and bulk editing - I'm approaching ten videos and have already started doing two or three in one sitting! I've also found heaps of great channels in the comments here 😊
And this video was NOT too long. Thanks again for creating value for creators!
This was honestly the most helpful video I have seen, thank you so much. This is a great video.
I prefer watching long form content almost always... probably 1 to even 2 hours is my attention span... so this is nice!
took me more than one sitting to watch this. But glad I got it.
Thanks Roberto. Always a pleasure learning from you and your evergreen content.
Word. I do love the way you talk, just the push and pull of your dialog is engrossing. I am pretty sure I have said that before but it is true. You make meal size videos and I make snack food. I wish I knew as much about the tech and analytical part of this stuff as you do but I am just a film maker and idea guy I have content and the marketing of it is a low part for me. I really like your videos and value your wisdom. Thanks for doing what you do. Best day & Best wishes to you & yours. :)
Hey Roberto! Love your practical and specific advice. Just getting started on UA-cam in a serious way. This video was very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the great video and providing the links down below! Planning on utilizing them! Thanks for the awesome tips! God bless you!
Great video! Glad to see you are well over the 100k subscriber mark! Keep up the good work!
