What I'd say is there's a lot of knowledge in the YouTube community. Find a good Facebook group to join. Connect with people. You don't necessarily need to spend $997 on a YouTube course. People love to talk about the algorithm and how to beat the algorithm and how to do this, how you have these fancy this, fancy that. Your thumbnails have to be this way, your tags have to be this way, your headline has to be this or that. There's some truth to those things. There's some benefit, but there's no benefit that'll supersede that of creating content that your audience wants to see. Find a good community of people and produce content that your demographic wants to watch.

So there's so many resources on YouTube about how to do YouTube. And I'm sure you're getting some great value off of Lifey as well. But I definitely think that the best resource I could recommend is finding another YouTuber or finding other people that are doing YouTube and use their excitement and your excitement to kind of support each other. Having other people that you're doing YouTube with so you're not alone all the time. Really helps to make it a lot more fun throughout the entire process. And I'd say that's been our probably one of our biggest secrets to our success has been working with other YouTubers not necessarily collaborating. But having a network of other YouTubers that we can talk to and get support from.

Best resources I would say, how to shoot video that doesn't suck, Derral Eves videos and his book that is the YouTube formula, full-time filmmaker course is incredible, and then also YouTube is a huge resource for learning all of the different things about YouTube, but also you can look up storytelling, you can make look up photography, you can look up filmmaking, all of the things, but definitely learn and don't stop learning because there's a million different resources that you can use and it's all out there, it's not like it's hidden, it's all available, you just have to know what to look up, so I would say those are my top favorites.

I'm sure other people have covered some of these, but as far as resources, go get the book The YouTube Formula by Daryl Eaves. He's my mentor, and he's got a great program also called Channel Jumpstart, and there are different levels of involvement with that. We're currently in the mastery group, and I recommend it. So not the mastery necessarily, especially if you're just getting started, but Channel Jumpstart does cost several thousand dollars. You want to make sure you're ready for that, and it's a lot of commitment as well, but the principles taught in there are just amazing. The other thing is get yourself into a mastermind of some sort, or an accountability group, and have some sort of an accountability coach, whether that's, it could be your spouse, it could be a loved one in your family, or it could be someone else who's a YouTuber, but look at those as resources to get outside of yourself and learn from other people all that you can. That makes a huge, huge difference.
