    Thumbnail Research and Standardization Thumbnails are now standardized. All will be a large BG image, a cutout of me with a glow, all-caps yellow text, and rebelfnd logo in the bottom right-hand corner. Before I settled on this, I ripped 50 thumbnails ripped from the most popular videos from...

    EXECUTION 
    Appreciated. The website is something I WILL get to, but I don't think the time for this is now. I know the way my brain works. I know through experience that if I have more than a single goal at a time, I fail 100% of the time. If I can get to ~5,000 real human subscribers/watchers, I know...

    EXECUTION 
    Waiting on those ideas! Travis (accidentally) gave me the idea yesterday to run PPC ads to Shark Tank fans on youtube. I never thought of this before.. but it seems like a prime demographic. Also, can somebody help me out with youtube PPC? Does anybody have experience with this? I THOUGHT I...

    How do I get rid of this constant anxiety?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I feel like this VERY often. It goes away when I sit down with a pen and piece of paper, and write down a definable list of actions I plan to take for the following 3 days. When I create a hard goal and then work it like a math problem (solving for X), I'm suddenly hyper-aware of the exact...

    Tasks for a VA to do?

    PEOPLE 
    Shortly after I posted this I spoke with a forum member who lives in the phillipines who set me up with one of their family members to get general VA work. The experience was new, but ultimately useful. She was able to do tasks that I didn't have time to handle for clients and for my own brand...

    AUTOMATING THE CHANNEL So there's a lot more businesswise to making a legit youtube channel than meets the eye. My current problem is time management. These videos are very unpredicatable in how long they take me to accomplish. The easy ones will take me 2 hours, the hard ones take me closer...

    Why does everyone want to get there so fast?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Truth. I've made a TON of crap decisions to make some quick money that ruined my long-term prospects. If I had just stuck with the process instead of trying to sell out faster, I'd be where I need to be by now.

    Why does everyone want to get there so fast?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I guess it's really about the goal thing. If you're making cash JUST to make cash, I don't see the point. I want to be worth 100m before I'm thirty. (me being 26 right now) How would my life be different? Not just a better car, a better house, etc.. it's what I want to DO with the cash that...

    Is everything "entertainment" a waste of time?

    EXECUTION 
    We don't like TV because it distracts us from our main goal. Other people are not us, other people aren't trying to start a fastlane business, and you need to separate yourself from your audience. I LOVE television, and my long-term fastlane involves producing shows for television. Shows I...

    Your freakin hilarious. I Googled "Just do it" for the express purpose of finding THIS EXACT IMAGE AND POSTING IT. However, this is what I settled on:

    Looked at my channel analytics today. To be honest, It was tough. "Vanity metrics", I believe they call it. Lots of information I can't do ANYTHING with. All it did was make feel feel anxious. Not doing that again. For now on, BEFORE I look at analytic, I will have a specific purpose and a...

    That's cute. Let me fix that for you: "This forums skewed demographics may be a contributing factor to threads such as these."

    How do you control what you eat?

    HEALTH 
    This. I'm a heavy guy and sick of it. I just DIDNT CARE what I ate my entire life. It tastes good, so I eat it. I enjoy being full, stuffed to the brim. So I joined MFP with one goal: Log what I eat. I put in caloric goals, but didn't have the intention of changing anything, just logging...

    EXECUTION 
    I've been thinking about this. What do you think I can do to spark this? I've mailed out a videos to 200+blogs (on the topic the actual kickstarter was based on). This is how I want the channel to be percieved in the future: I want my channel to be a SOURCE that other bloggers look towards to...

    Emailing my email list

    MARKETING 
    100% of people will overlook the address and by the time you've gotten to the point where it's remotely an issue, you'll have enough cash fromy our success to be living on your own anyways. Don't sweat it. It's a LAW to prevent spam. If you want you can spend cash on a PO box, but honestly save...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much! There's really no need to worry about it since the backer and the project-owner are different demographics. For the time being, the project owner will likely undervalue the channel until there's something "in it" for them, which there isn't yet. I'm more interested in what...

    Video product format

    "VLC" is not a video file type. What are the extentions on your video? When I sold a video product on ejunkie, I just redirected them to a private webpage with the videos embedded. Yes, they could pirate and share the videos if they wanted to, but that's something that will happen no matter how...

    That means SO much, thanks! For real. Really. Like.. really. No really. Seriously, thanks. Really... Yeah, I was thinking about this too. He covered viral videos which were funny in themselves, AND he was also entertaining. The main reason I watched was for the videos, and the commentary is...

    EXECUTION 
    I spent time experimenting with this privately. I had videos where I just talked to the camera and edited later. Most came out okay, but some were boring. My on-the spot commentary is usually pretty funny, I have a natural sense for comedy/storytelling/pacing. However, it's not enough to carry...
