Hey YouTubers, I’ve been thinking about this for almost a year now, and I’ve decided that I’m going to stop making videos for Film Booth. The reasons why are complex, so I made a video about it and have uploaded it to Creator Booth. It's now live. In short, there has been a massive shift on YouTube, and I no longer believe that Film Booth is the best way to help people. I want to lead the shift in how people think about YouTube and the impact it can have on viewers as well as the creators' lifestyle.  I've always practiced what I preach so it means niching down a lot so thats what I'll be doing over on Creator Booth from now on. (The video will help you understand this more.) I want to thank all of you for your support over the years. It's been amazing, and I wake up every day in disbelief that I’ve ended up in the position I'm now in. I am truly grateful to you all. Ed Aka, the guy from Film Booth

25 more things I wish I someone had told me before I started on YouTube channel (that would have made life easier) 1. Don't try and grow on multiple platforms at once, just focus on long form YouTube and ignore everything else 2. You will learn more, faster hanging around with other creators/business owners than the internet will teach you 3. Don’t react to people who comment “I can't hear you” on a live stream unless everyone is saying the same thing. It's usually because they don't have their speakers on. 4. Spend your money on coaching/courses, not on fancy kit 5. Always do thumbnails and titles first. 6. Don't confuse what works for entertainment channels with what works for educational channels, you can play a totally different game. 7. Find a way to differentiate in your niche. 8. Copying what works is smart but being the channel everyone else copies is the game changer. 9. Think in 3-5 year cycles 10. Don't get annoyed when other people copy you, it's not worth your head space. 11. Make sure you have a crystal clear goal, base every decision on “will this help me get to that goal faster”, if it's a no, you probably shouldn't do it. 12. Keep things as simple as possible, the more complexity you add to your business and channel the more things there are to screw up 13. Accept some people just don't like you, let that be their problem, not yours 14. Don't make “what you want to make” unless you’re prepared for it to totally flop. 15. Batch produce your videos. The time savings are exponential 16. When you have a following, stop posting for 2 weeks and witness as the world doesn't totally fall apart. You’ll lose the anxiety that you always have to get content out and then it's way more fun. 17. This will be more of a mental battle than anything else. 18. Learn from your mistakes but don't dwell on them 19. If you get good at ideation, packaging and making videos, the data looks after itself 20. Buddy up. Have a meeting once or month or every two weeks with a creator in a similar position to you. Share what's working, mastermind your problems and witness things change faster. 21. Don't go on new podcasts, they nearly always quit and waste your time 22. Get to know the people in your niche, you don't have to “compete” in the way you think you might 23. Ignore 99% of sponsorship requests. When that first one comes in, you’ll be excited, just realise they sent that to 1000 other people and it's likely their product is complete crap. 24. Do not ever do anything that might impact your reputation. 25. You can get very, very rich, very, very fast on YouTube but only after you’ve put in the grunt work for years.

LIFE UPDATE👇🏼 In the video I posted yesterday many people commented about me now being on dating apps so I thought I'd give you an update. March 2023 Liv and I decided to move on in different directions. (This is why Im now on Bumble/joking about it) We never fell out, we just wanted different things with life so we just decided to move on. I still help her with her business, pester her about her landing pages and try to get her posting more videos (rich coming from me) and we stay in touch and are both very happy. (Oh by the way, I think some of you thought we were married. We weren't) We got each other through covid, helped each other grow our businesses/followings and had a really fun 3 years together. Helping her grow her channel and business is the proudest achievement of my life. PS If you're looking for a man who likes growing YouTube channels, leave your applications below 😂
