It's time to make money on YouTube!
Yes, we know about Ad-sense and affiliate links, but the real money comes from working with brands.  But how do you do that? Do you have to be a big creator?

Today, we chat with Addison, Talent Manager at SpaceStation, about how YouTube creators can work with Brands.

We chat about:

There is a myth that you must be on camera in order to be successful. This is simply not true.
In today's episode, I chat with Jessica Hatch, the CEO of Gone To The Snow Dogs who has a phenomenal channel where the main "actors" are her dogs!

There are many reasons YouTuber quit YouTube. Maybe you are not seeing growth on your channel or perhaps you are spending too much time for no results and its too stressful to appease the algorithm.

"I have listened to the expert's advice but my channel is still not growing - what am I doing wrong?"

This is a common question that we often see during our vidIQ Training Livestreams. 
On today’s episode of TubeTalk we address this issue. Why is your channel really not growing even when you listen to all the advice we give?

The answer is actually not complicated so on Today’s episode you will learn:

Many of us create youtube videos when we have some free time. Since we don't have much time, we tend to rush in, put something together that will hopefully get us more views and more subscribers.

But I wonder how much attention are we giving to the stuff that matters such as structure, the audience, and standing out in a saturated niche?

On today's episode of TubeTalk, I chat with Gwen Miller, the VP of Content for Kin. Gwen ...

Today's topic is all about your Youtube channel page - are you set up for success or is it actually costing you views and subscribers? Are you using Playlists effectively to keep your audience engaged and watching more of your content?

Your YouTube Home Page is the first impression of what your channel has to offer, what the viewer can expect, and why they should subscribe. It is critical to your success!

I chat with vidIQ’s own ...

We are constantly looking for methods to get our videos to rank on YouTube. The better the videos perform, the more views we get which then turn into subscribers.

One tool that YouTube has is the automatic captioning tool. 
This essentially puts into text the words you are saying in your video. 

Besides that fact that that is not 100% percent accurate, does captioning your video really help your video's performance? Do captions gi...

"I have views on my videos but they are not subscribing" and "I have subscribers on my channel, but they are not watching my videos" - these are two common questions that I hear constantly when helping creators with their channels.

Therefore, in this week's episode of TubeTalk, I chat with vidIQ's Rob Wilson and Dan Carson to understand what YouTubers should focus on in order to get both views and subscribers...

Take two YouTube channels with identical subscriber numbers and identical views creating content around the same topic. 
Why does one channel leapfrog the other?
What makes one channel more successful than the other?
Why do brands want to work one channel more than the other?

"I don't want to be pigeonholed" is something I hear often from YouTubers.
I find this strange.
Being pigeonholed essentially means that you are THE expert on a topic, why would you NOT want to be that?

Being niche on YouTube means that you become known for that niche. So whenever people want that info, they instantly know where to look!

But how do you dominate a niche? Is YouTube too saturated so every niche is taken?

I c...

As much as we love creating amazing videos and uploading them to YouTube, at a point we realize that being a creator isn't free. It costs money. Events, equipment, editing, tools, etc.

Of course, YouTube ad revenue is superb but its only one source of revenue.
