🚨 YouTube News 🚨
YouTube just added private messaging on mobile.
You can now share videos and have conversations directly inside the app, no third-party links needed.
This is YouTube slowly becoming a social network, not just a video platform.
For creators: if your audience can share your video in a DM without leaving the app, that's a new discovery loop. Make content people want to send to a friend.
Note: Live in 31 European countries now. No US launch date announced yet. But if this test goes well in Europe, it's coming.
Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up.
Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle.
Explain yourselves. How do you do that?
@KeruboSk I have to wire myself to do so. The alarm scares the sh!t out of me. Also I think it might be just habit specially after having kids.. I’m tired but gotta get up :/
I built a FREE Brand Deals CRM for Creators to use… and it doesn’t require login or signup to use it!

Try it out and tell me what you think!
The Audience Comes FIRST. Period.
Most Creators don’t want to hear this, but then will complain about why they don’t have the audience they want.
And why someone they feel is less deserving and doesn’t make better videos (better quality, more effort), is growing more than them.
Value for the Viewer is the first Commandment of being a content creator.
Not scratching your own itch or satisfying your own boredom.
Let me help you be clear about something…
Are you doing this a passion project or is it a business?
A business is beholden to the customers.
If you feel your personal passion comes before value for the viewer and you can’t put the audience first..,
This is fine to be a hobby, it’s dangerous to try to make this your living and rely on it for your bills if that is your mindset.
A full-time creator, who never wants to suffer with financial anxiety and money trauma can’t afford to think like an artist.
(I told you this will hurt some feelings).
An “artist” that otherwise has a a steady job can make whatever they want. Many of you should put up with a 9-5 job if it hurts to “to comprise your art for money” or not put passion and expression first.
I’m not saying this to be cruel.
I’m saying it to be realistic about how it is. And the favorite creator you want to cherry pick to prove me wrong is an outlier of an outlier….
And if you were an outlier of an outlier, you’d be one, and not be bothered to argue with me…
I’ve always been abundantly upfront about this …
I am ONLY and mean this sincerely… talking to Creators for whom making money and serving an audience are the top 2 of their 3 biggest priorities.
Nobody for whom that is the case ever needs to listen to me.
I’ve always been upfront about that.
You can’t promise people a Barbecue Joint… have a crisis of conscience, become a Vegan, and then simultaneously be sad you lost all your business…
You can make what you want to make, but then you can’t be upset that an audience abandons you for someone who will put them first…
The audience has too many good options to tolerate anything else…
