POWER TIP
YouTube is optimizing more for podcasts. If you're struggling to keep up with all of the engaging editing, podcasts can be more lax, so if you've been thinking about starting a podcast anyways or are looking for a more lax version of content, you might consider doing podcasting on YouTube:

Tim Schmoyer started Video Creators as a YouTube growth agency back in 2013, and this audio extension of that work dives deep into the real, often unglamorous, work of building a channel that lasts. You’ll hear conversations that move beyond basic tips, focusing instead on the strategic decisions and mindset shifts required to turn a personal brand into a sustainable business. Each episode pulls from Tim’s extensive experience guiding everyone from absolute beginners to established corporate teams, unpacking the nuances of audience growth, content systems, and platform changes. This isn't about quick hacks; it's a practical resource for creators and entrepreneurs who are serious about developing a highly engaged community of subscribers who become genuine customers. The discussions in this podcast naturally cover the intersection of creative work, marketing psychology, and the technology that powers modern video businesses, offering a clear path whether you're aiming for your first ten thousand subscribers or scaling past a million. Tune in for honest reflections on what works, what doesn't, and how to adapt your approach for long-term success on YouTube and beyond.
