    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    I started this post when I thought I could change my YouTube channel to improve its performance dramatically. After 18 months of trying many things, there wasn't much change. That's when I decided to pause the monthly update and wait a year. Over that year, I focused on making the best quality...

    Have you thought about doing some training satyle videos? I've seen a few videos in other sports which common on how the stars are training and how to apply that to different levels of ability.

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    How are you using your newsletter at the moment? I've always taken the approach of giving away my monthly newsletter rather than charging. I decided to do this after watching the magazines in my sector (print and digital magazines) struggling. People don't seem to want to pay for content so the...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    My solution isn't as easy as signing up with a mailing company but it's a lot cheaper and is very flexible. I can easily change my SMTP email service if AWS becomes unworkable for some reason. But I don't recomend this for someone who just wants a boiler plate solution to building an email list.

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    I'm achieving between 6 and 10 subscribers most days on my website and 60% appear to remain subscribed after a year. I've stopped measuring the source of subscribers but take your point about YouTube. I think I've hit around 37,000 subs there but my mailing list is only around 11,000 (I remove...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Thanks. I just realised my typo. I was trying to say that I can't understand what I'm missing by not using a network. I'm negative on a lot of the newsletter activity I see going on. My approach is trying to build a community where I'm a trusted voice. I'm probably underselling myself and my...

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    A lot of other things have had my attention recently but I still like to return to this thread beacuse it's a valuable discussion. What I'm stuggling to appreciate is why I would want to build a newsletter on someone elses platform. I'm still sending my newsletter from my WordPress site using a...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the update. It's great to see your consistency and determination. Don't worry about subscribers, the numbers will come in time. I also think there is a trend towards fewer people subscribing. People have become saturated with information. Solving peoples problems is always a good...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    If @Timmy C was just working to get YouTube subscribers, I would agree with you but I don't think that he is. He appears to be building a business around a website that he has control over. YouTube just becomes a marketing channel that he pays for with time rather than money. He also isn't...

    Websites are like life. You need to keep refining them. You will always spot things that need to be changed and improved - at least that's what my wife says about me.

    Now you're on WordPress you can test out the Newsletter plugin and Amazon SES. They have a new pricing tier. I sent something like 20k emails last month and they charged me £0.00.

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I like the visuals in the video but the script at the start lost me a little. Have you tried starting with a direct question to the viewer to see if you get more traction? When I thought about adding the question "Do you know what your target customer spends their money on?" the rest of the...

    I didn't think that you would be able to do a transfer. People with Wix and other page builders have the same problem. You need to be transferring from WordPress to do it automatically. It's relatively easy to sort out manually: 1. Set up your new hosting and install WordPress on it. I think...

    I read this last night in my emails and came directly here this morning to read it again. It's yet more "timeless" advice that has great value. Thank you for publishing these pieces. I always look forward to reading and finding ways to use them. I still find myself thinking about your story of...

    I watched the full video when you released it and I thought it was very good. The short is done well but it lacks the impact of the longer video.
