Great to see you back. I hope you remember me from Wine Library episode 759 where we drank out of bottles. Enough of that, my question. I run a video blog inmymug.com. Plug, got the plug in.
– Smart plug. – And get about 5,000 views a week but we’ve been kind of there for the last 100 or so episodes. Should I kick on, should
I be bothered about that? We get in sales from it, we
get lots of interaction from it but should I kick on and if I am, should I look at dark posts, should I look at Twitter? What should I kind of do to kind of find that next level? And thank you for the show. – My pleasure, my friend. I definitely, definitely remember you and that was a lot of fun. You know, it’s funny I
was just about to segway in closing off the show about, I also want more viewers and I wanna keep building, like, when you’re in the game,
you’re in the game. You wanna build. And you’ve done the patience thing which is normally my answer. That’s my answer to me. I’m only 18 episodes in and you gotta restart
and rebuild an audience and get people used to behavior and it’s not email or RSS
like I had with Wine Library back in 06, 7, 8 and
so it’s different ways. It’s Twitter but that’s
noisier and different. You know, so, I would say distribution. The reason you’re stuck right now is you need distribution,
distribution, distribution. I highly recommend you say to yourself, what are the 100 websites that are the biggest websites in the world that speak to or are in
the genre of my show? And then literally email them one by one and ask them if they want the rights to distribute your content with maybe you writing on top of it. I’d also reach out to the top 100 podcasts that you can get out there
on and promote the show. Give interviews, you need to hustle. What you just did by
getting on this show worked. You were gonna pick up 39, 42, 73 new listeners for your
show by being on this show. And you need to just scale
the living crap out of that. It’s hustle, hustle, hustle,
hustle, hustle, hustle hustle, hustle, but with
a thread in distribution. You need more awareness. You need to show up on other
YouTube celebrity’s show. You need to get into
the LinkedIn community and start putting out that content. You need to get the hell out there. That is the game, my friend. And that is a nice way to
kind of wrap up the show
of being a Youtuber with parents’ vision of getting a university degree? – There’s a very simple answer. Most people say, what college did you graduate from? Not what was your GPA. So you should easily be able to become a solid D student or C or whatever it’s needed to graduate, which should give […]

flexibility to become a massive Youtube sensation. – [Voiceover] Chelsea asks,
what are your thoughts about
who makes his living off of YouTube. Lately a lot of people have been asking me what my next step is, because they don’t think YouTube will last forever. But I think it will only continue to grow. So my question for you is, should I hedge my risk by expanding to other platforms, or […]
who makes his living off of YouTube. Lately a lot of people have been asking me what my next step is, because
they don’t think YouTube will last forever. But I think it will only continue to grow. So my question for you
is, should I hedge my risk by expanding to other platforms, or should I go all-in on YouTube. I’d love to know what you think. – Matt, how many of these people have two million plus
subscribers on YouTube? (bell ringing) Thought so. So go with your gut,
you were 100% correct. I’ve already made a mistake
on YouTube early in my career going to Viddler full-time. And I made one right
correction of jumping on it months after it came
out in the first place. YouTube is the platform,
along with Netflix, and emerging other platforms like a Vimeo or an Amazon, Hulu, many other things that
will pop up along the way. YouTube is an anchor of
video content consumption, and I think your
intuition is 100% correct, and I would keep doing
exactly what you’re doing. I see it going nowhere, fast.

As building audiences
on Pinterest and YouTube with Facebook dark posts
is the wrong strategy in a world where you can
build YouTube audience with pre rolls at five
to seven cents a view, and Pinterest is about
20 seconds away from their ad platform. My answer to you is it’s nice to try to siphon. I do think Facebook dark
posts will probably be the most effective besides
the native way to do it, but if you’re trying to build
YouTube and Pinterest audience I highly recommend doing
it with the native app platforms within those
two principal parties. (hip hop instrumental beats)
