- Yes, I see the Irony, but I don't want to completely destroy everything and let the channel die.
It's unfortunate that it has to come to this. Unless TH-cam changes how they promote videos, it's for the best...

The top piece of advice I give to the 75,000 creators I work with on NewTubers is to _respect the audience's time._ I just did a bit of mental math, and conservatively, you've uploaded 270 minutes of video in the past ~28 days across 35 videos, nearly 10 minutes per day of video and more than one video a day. We're in a world where many people don't have much time to watch an hour of their favorite _show_ per week, let alone a single TH-cam creator! That's especially true when it's a smaller creator that they haven't learned to trust and respect just yet. You're not overkilling it too badly of course, I've seen channels smaller than ours that upload 270 minutes a *week* and expect the audience to tune in, and expect consistent growth! Either way, multiple videos a day is going to turn the Notification Squad off, which hurts your first hour performance, and your second video in a day sucks the wind out of the previous video's first 24/48 hour performance, which is the main reason TH-cam's algorithms would sour on you. If a channel I look at doesn't have consistent branding, or it has overbearing upload frequency, I don't sub unless it's a friend for whom i'll make an exception.
Everybody gets obsessed with the daily content push because frequency is mistakenly overhyped as the big must-have, but really it's _consistency_ that gets us growing channels to the next level above all else. If you upload at 2PM every X (day, Thursday every week, etc.), your subs will come more consistently, and that more immediate traction and response is what's going to get the algorithm to bump you. As you touched on a bit, if you're not engaging your dedicated subscribers enough (9 of those 35 videos hit a healthy 10% sub-to-view ratio), frequency doesn't matter. That's not an algorithm thing, that's a creator thing, I'd say - we all think we have to follow what the larger creators denote as "best practices," but their world is totally different from ours, and it always has been from small to large creators. In short, carve a path, my friend, you don't have to follow one!
Thanks for sharing this The Golden Bolt :-)
This is great advice!
I live in a world of ADD and autism where I lose the plot after 10 minutes, and like to watch the same or similar content over and over when I find something I like.
Great comment! I actually paused the video to read this before continuing the video! Cheers!
The problem with some of my channels is that they are time sensitive. I can’t wait several days or a week to post something that people need to absolutely know right away.
2 words. Niche down. When I started my content was only of one subject matter that was in demand. Grew from that and expanded from there.
I have heard this before! Must be true ;-)
Madlittlepixel yup. I focused on everything. But when I started discussing a passion of mine more frequently I found that there are many people I was alienating in the past.
This makes a lot of sense to me and I think I did this from the start without knowing I did. I appreciate you putting words around this strategy, it makes a ton of sense!
Good talk and very good perspective. I agree with your strategy. This is information that everyone should take into consideration.
Thanks dude.
I love your thumb. Also I I think you're a lot more open and real about problems that we all struggle with with the algorithm on TH-cam and you do have a lot of good information but it's a bummer when you put a lot of heart and passion and time into a video and then somebody else uses that footage on their bigger Channel and reaps all the rewards and benefits but I understand you got to love the grind in the hustle much respect peace.
I'm not able to keep up with any channel that's posts multiple videos daily, or even daily, with the amount of people I follow. I also tend to shy away from bleeding edge news/rumors/rant stuff too. I'm on odd one out, seems most people eat up drama/rumor. Keep doing what your doing, you're obviously doing something right with growth, but I can understand the views versus YT's algorithm is frustrating. Sometimes you just gotta keep at it and one of those videos will kickstart things again. YT is a piece of shit.
Great video. I've thought a lot about this before you brought it up. I'd get too excited about putting up new material, and now I have way too many videos to watch. Next channel I start will be a lower frequency channel. Awesome work, I'll still be here watching you.
This is why I don't really have an upload schedule, when my latest vid is done it's ready to go out, no rush. My videos tend to still get views even years later, slow burners I guess
The more you put into your channel the less you get out of it from my experience. I have cut down significantly and my channel has actually done better. Nothing makes sense.
i just make dope projects haha and hope for the best
That's why I have been slowing a bit and focus on the 2 videos I post a month.
Sounds like I need a to write about this on smash JT. Com
Heck yeah dude would love your perspective
The whole algorithm crap last year discouraged me from doing my youtube thing. I know you have your website and hope you advertise for it more this year on videos as well as on other platforms...I see that it's really important to get viewers to your outside sites pages. Your channel is a favorite of mine and your early vids have a lot of work put into them. Keep em coming JT. It doesn't help that some popular channels have an entire production team and investments that smaller channels don't but they're lacking in actually being as personable upfront as smaller channels. I'm only glad for the decline in your rapper scam videos...wasn't interested in the content to give it a view.
I just yell at my computer and hope things work out
AHHHH!!!!!
This is the most effective strategy
maybe even tap the side of it too ... seemed to work well on the old TV's :)
To be totally honest I really enjoy your channel and the content, but I think you would have more success if you did two videos a week and then have a 3rd or 4th a week with top 5 or top 10 or more videos. I really enjoy your take on those videos, their really different from the others. I think you will make it after all, Im going to start a youtube channel soon (which I had one in 2006-2011) and hope to connect with you. We all got your back and don't stop believing. Cheers
I have noticed this as well. Small channels can't get ahead and be sustainable financially in the TH-cam of 2019. It is kind of the social media version of the Pareto Principle. The big guys absorb the majority of the views and just get bigger, while small channels contend for an ever smaller portion of the scraps. The algorithm seems to reinforce this. Strangely, this means that TH-cam, for us, is what it was in the beginning: a platform for self-broadcasting as a hobby.
ive just checked your channel and you are posting for 16 years, on this time evrybody could get millions of subscribers and all big youtubers aren’t more than 12 years on youtube, meaning how stupid and looser you are
Smash, I hear you buddy. I have stayed incredibly niche for this exact reason and I feel like its working. My Gamecube specific content does EXTREMELY well for this reason. Also, I agree with you, slow time of year, my numbers are way down (including on Evergreen content) since the end of 2018 as well. Just keep it up and try to stay consistent!
I really disagree with you here. I think you’re missing 1/2 the picture. Unfortunately I’m a bit busy and just watched this on break, that’s about all the time I have at the moment.
Those clicks ie screen wave
The Retro Bro you’re still on that? Just because people are signed to a same mcn has nothing to do with them being friends outside of it in real life. Move on
@@8-BitEric no I really dont care but facts are facts. I made over 1 grand this weekend with my side hustle yt is the last thing on my mind. Glad you're doing well though. Regards
It's cliques 🤣
Keep going, Smash. You might have to keep experimenting, but you’ve already made it so much further than most channels. I have faith in you!
This one youtuber is a bit “smaller”, but still has a decent sub count at over 20k. She’s known for reviewing indie makeup brands. She posts every. Single. Day. Sometimes, multiple times in one day. It ALL shows up on my timeline and tbh, it kind of annoys me. It feels spammy. My problem isn’t the fact that I’m not seeing the videos she’s posting, it’s that it’s TOO MUCH CONTENT. Yes. There is a thing as posting so much it ends up affecting the quality of your content. She admitted she posts too many videos and she needs to make less, but better quality videos. She’s not taking her own advice, so I unsubscribed 🤷🏼♀️. I’m tired of her taking up my entire newsfeed. Just something else to keep in mind.
A big Yt creator channel just spoke to TH-cam and the guy was like "let your videos breathe," unless you are a gamer with teens (who have lots of time) or few other verticals, then once a week is great n best. If folks dont have time to watch them it's like why! I've seen that too- went' to 2x week feel burnt out and notice views are not up even though subs are up???
TH-cam is such a weird platform. It used to be about creative content but now it is about homogeneous content. It rewards channels that are laser focused on one thing and punishes channels that have even a little bit of variety. Well at least until your channel is so big that the algorithm just automatically gives it a boost even if the content doesn't fit a channel's mold. Good example is Cinemassacre, James and Mike built the channel off AVGN them branched off into other avenues successfully once they got big enough. But a small channel do that approach and it's game over for their numbers.
2 Methods of success.
1) The gamble.
Cover topical videos and hope by sheer luck they pop and people stick around.
2) The long con.
Make evergreen content. Stuff people will like to learn about or will find entertaining. If possible, make it unicorn content. Things that only you can teach, or provide a perspective that could only come from you.
The problem with method 1 is that most often when a video pops, it's JUST that video, and not the channel itself. It may bring in some subs, but if the next content isn't sensational than those subs become in-active. If you force the content to seem sensational then those subs leave. It's a very fickle audience.
The problem with method 2 is that you have to be patient. VERY patient. In rare cases people explode right off the bat, but this is very rare. But not only do you have to be patient and unique, you have to be charismatic and full of unique ideas that you can keep working with. Given how hard it is to have even 1 unique idea, having many is almost unreasonable. It's a far more creative endeavor that requires a much larger input of effort and will take a much longer time to reap any benefits from. When the benefits do start coming however, the audience will likely be less fickle than method 1s and the sub-base a bit more active.
You're mostly a method 1 kind of guy, chasing a dragon with every upload, but they're videos with short shelf lives right? News cycles are so fast these days. If you need to strip those back, I would. I'd only cover the huge stuff you're passionate about, and use your extra time to produce some content more in line with method 2. They won't get much traction up front, but they'll bring people in consistently over time. If there's video's you've been wanting to make, drop some of the smaller stories everybody else is already covering and make them. Those will be unique to you, and will show people why you're unique and should be subscribed too vs. the other guys.
As it is right now, news channels have something like a "collectors curse" effect on people. People see so many video's in their subfeed that once they start missing an upload, they become part of a backlog, and after a while, that backlog just sits on a shelf. The videos become not-worth checking out 3 days after they go up because it's "Old news."
Everybody needs some content worth clicking on for the rest of time. I think your vids about being a game tester hit the evergreen requirements and will still be clicked on 2 years from now.. So long as you don't bury it so deep within the rest of your content that people can't find it. But soulja boy consoles, atari vcs, things like upcoming nintendo directs, those are dead in a week. Those hide the big things.
Dude you are more right than anyone could ever know.
For the longest time, I've been frustrated for you, not growing at the pace I would expect your quality and content to grow at. Niche as it may be, it's so well done that it has the ability to reel in viewers who otherwise normally wouldn't care for it. I'm glad to see you're picking up steam this year... The long game is a lot longer than many realize, but you're doing it right... If there is such thing as... right when it comes to this... As for me.. I'm just gonna keep doing what I love. If it works, great, if it doesn't, hey, at least I still get to talk games with everyone. At the end of the day, that's why I love this platform anyways. Great comment dude. Appreciate you.
@@SmashJT Ah. Don't be too frustrated for me. Whatever I deserve I'll hopefully earn in time. If it turns out I've just been wasting my time.. well. I had some fun doing it, learned a lot of cool things, met cool people, and shared some interesting info along the way.
If you think you know the thing you can improve is, definitely chase it and do it.
Learn from my mistakes. I tried posting often, I tried posting slowly but consistent. No difference. Very little growth. I been trying to figure out what's wrong or what I'm missing for a couple of years now. Everyone tells me shits great, I do good work, etc. I've given people advice and help, editing, setups, lighting, they become successful. I'm still here.
It's been rougher lately, I don't even get interaction anymore. That's the biggest downer.
The way the mysterious algorithm is, I'd be better off just starting over to get out of whatever blackhole TH-cam shoved my channel in.
I know what you mean dude...
Ive slowed down big time. I love making content but what i want and what the platform wants are two different things
Could you imagine doing this full time and about to get lucky with your significant other. And have to drop everything cause theres a nintendo rumor and the time pumping out has the outcome of paying your rent? I can't do that lol
If your channel is dead than my doesn't stand a chance. TH-cam hates us all. I'm focusing on quality over quantity. I think this is informative and I'll just say keep trying. I'll try and watch more videos but I'm not interested in current news most of the time, so if I watch I'm watching to be supportive. And that's not your fault, I'm a picky SOB.
I've noticed views have been really low for everyone lately, actually. Ask Jon if you can do an episode of the SpawnCast... I think it's really helped Nate's channel (DFG) and he's mega-unlikable.
Well said Jeff. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the support dude
I really like the lighting on your video.
Thanks!
This was interesting. I get tempted to post more videos thinking this will make my channel grow, but I always hold back due to time restraints. I have so many ideas for videos I want to put out there, but I hold back. At the end of the day we do this because we are passionate about video games, and my advise is to just keep pumping those videos out if you can. Forget TH-cam because if your content is good, you'll get the views! Stay smahin' JT!
Just create a make up video, making giant food video, or reviewing a product the average person can't afford and it'll be trending and you'll get everything your heart desires. You'll have so many troll comments and thumbs down on great videos. It'll be great. Honestly I've always liked smaller channels because they haven't been corrupted by the money yet. They are more honest and that goes a long way with me. I've always enjoyed the channel.
I wouldn’t give up, spawnwave mentioned you just recently in a video and also reviewtechusa did as well a little further back. If I could suggest something, try to just cover maybe gaming news and reviews. Like cover the Nintendo direct for example and right after it airs and give your opinion about everything they covered. Also maybe to sit down and kinda relax like reviewtechusa does? It may not be your style , but reviewtechusa has been very popular and he seems kinda relaxed and not nervous or anything. I wouldn’t give up though.
I used to sit down, I prefer the standing but will take it into consideration for a more relaxed approach. Thanks for the kind words and the feedback; I really appreciate it.
I totally agree..if you pump too much content they burry you. I am holding off now to see what happens because 2/3 of my videos did not grow over 35 views... You got it...totally agree..Thanks!
I know if you don't watch every video of a particular channel--even though you're subscribed--TH-cam will slowly stop suggesting that channel's video to you. Get lucky, pay money, or shoutouts via large channels: Sad those are the main ways to get big...
I love all the videos. You are one of my favorite TH-camrs ever brother. Love you fam
Thanks Chris
The best thing you can do is do YOU. People will tune in to your channel for your uniqueness. When it comes to breaking news, go for it and give it your personal thought that you know no one will mention. And to be fair, I definitely enjoy watching your channel. Its definitely better channel than Adam Koralic. It takes time to grow a channel and find that play that will strike a good cord. Keep going at it, I'm rooting for ya!
Thanks, Anjel
As a small channel myself, I can definitely agree with this. My biggest problem has been consistency, always hase been from the start. I tend to just make a video when I have the chance to. It also takes me awhile to do so cause I'm somewhat of a perfectionist lol.
Most importantly is that I never want to loose that fun aspect of making a video. It is a lot of work for sure, especially when you have to take about 80 re-takes to get a certain part just right because you slured or had a brain fart in the middle of your speech. That happens to me quite a bit actually lol. In the end however, I enjoy doing it and knowing that someone will enjoy the video, even if it's just a small handful of folks, is enough to keep me going.
I got extremely lucky with that Metroidvania video I did a year ago. I netted a lot of great folks from that video including yourself. I've got the chance to meet some incredible people here within the gaming community and for that I am truly grateful 🙂. It's a strong enough incentive to keep me going forward anyway, even if my videos may not be as frequent lol. I'm just glad I can entertain a few people here and there. Maybe eventually I'll be able to pump out a video once a week at the very least but for now, I'll do them when I can.
Keep being you Jeff. Love what you're doing man. The passion burns 🔥.
Thanks so much for the kind words and sentiment, Starlink. Completely understand where you’re coming from and love your channel as well. Happy we bumped into each other. It’s been nothing short of a pleasure, man.
As an up and comer, I am quickly realizing that I'm posting way too many videos and need to cut back.
I want Shaq hands too
Im so glad i ran into this because i w as thinking maybe im making to many videos i used to do a video daily than i thought maybe im just pattin my channel up with to many videos. I started a week ago with starting to do videos 3 times a week. And yes i try not to compare myself to big channels but i still do. If you don't have a passion for TH-cam you will fail. That's my opinion.
I’m going to be honest, but I don’t turn on notifications for anyone anymore because of TH-camrs who post every single day. It’s too much of a distraction.
Maybe more evergreen content is where you’ll find a balance. News is timely and old in minutes. An occasional review or project would probably be helpful with growth as this thing is like a search engine for lots of people. Just a thought.
You do what you gotta do SmashJT. I'll stick with you.
Yup. The algorithms are whack
I'm a small guy. I made a great video, tagged the shit out of it. Took 2 weeks to get 100 views. I only do 2 videos a month. But I don't do rehash news like 73% of TH-cam. I need a shout out 😂. I'm stagnant right now, zero growth. The clique is real.
I'm so glad I decided to stop making videos. No I don't do it for money or anything like that but all these changes and algorithm crap is just making me see I made the right decision.
I think all channels are dying to some degree, it's never constant exponential growth. I would definitely pull back the reigns on current event stuff. I think your Mother 3 video was the most memorable video you have made in recent memory. Keep diversifying and reaching out to different gaming audiences. Maybe there is a game series you always wanted to explore that doesn't get enough attention, look at something like that. There certainly is no magic bullet. Talking about a major news topic once a week is God's plenty. Stay frosty!
Thanks so much for the thoughts, PK. It means a lot. I enjoyed the EB video and making it was fun, but it's one of those that I make when I feel like it. If I made those often I wouldn't be having as much fun and quickly burn myself out. Especially when there's no guarantee of an audience.
@@SmashJT That's just the thing, there is never a guarantee that your audience will always watch your videos. From my perspective, when it comes to getting youtube views it is all about taking big risks in the hopes of getting big rewards. There is no risk in news stories, other than annoying people who don't like news stories. I guess from my perspective I would rather make one high quality, brilliantly thought out, eloquently spoken, and well-crafted video that I'm deeply proud of that gets 200 views today, and maybe trickles in views later, than make some news story that gets 200 views in a week that no one ever looks at again. I know why people make the news stories, I get it, it attracts a lot of people. But the thing about news, most of the time it's cheap and it never holds up and hardly stands the tests of time. If you genuinely believe your channel is dead, you have absolutely nothing to worry about and might as well make videos you wanna make anyways. I don't think it's dead at all though.FFS , you have 8 bit Eric and Happy Console Gamer commenting on your video. Some of us out here would give anything to get acknowledgment from those cats. Like someone else in the comment section said promote it on other platforms. Also, I don't know if you have considered this for some of your old vids but update some of the thumbnails, and then promote those older videos on twitter or wherever. I remember I watched that, I think it was the Track and Feild video you made a while back, I thought that was a fun video.
TH-cam is a strange duck. I only have like 1k+ subs but I still have fun doing vids regardless of sub count and my subs have been more engaging so I'm happier than I was about the whole YT algorithm thing. Yeah, I'm prolly still getting f**ked by the system and my shit is likely getting buried in the netherspace but I'm having more fun doing it now. I could see it getting frustrating though if you're trying to make YT your main gig. Maybe its time to change up what you do on YT and leave the low-hanging fruit videos to other youtubers to fight over? :P Maybe a YT tips channel! You had lots of constructive input that I put to use in my videos that's helped me out!
I agree I need to focus on something more unique... but I also love talking gaming with people. It's a delicate balance for sure.
It happened to me. Thank you. I will be posting less. I can see a difference in views already. Your videos do get buried.
Agree sir. Great video
Hi smash Nintendo is going to release an indie game character for dlc in ssbu maybe you can make a video about who it might be

Hi, great informative video. I get a little sick of seeing too many uploads. I don't care about them. I like when channels upload only once in a while. I don't like gossip or rants, I just like great content. There's too much crap on youtube.
I can't say I really understand all this algorithm biz (besides its being programmed to screw people over), but I do say this gives you a unique opportunity to focus more on SmashJT.com, and the SmashJT Patreon. I know that's perhaps not as exciting an alternative, but if TH-cam is designed towards growing bigger, "flashier" channels, at the very least you have a subscriber base outside the platform to fall back on. It might not be vids, but you can post updates and latest news reports through your blog, and focus on more "exclusive" content for your Patreon subscribers. That may sound a bit self-serving, as I AM a Patreon subscriber, but at least it gives you options for putting your thoughts/voice out there for people to hear. After all, the "serious" folks will follow you for YOU, regardless of the medium used.
Interesting topic! The TH-cam Algorithm is a tough nut to crack.
This actually makes sense..I'm just wasting my time on this platform.
I follow the Nada Surf rule. At least once every two weeks!
I'm finding this out
All we can do is upload and pray
Great video smash JT
Thanks dude
My question for you is what do you want to achieve from this channel? Do you want to build a strong community with other members or are you looking to make it big? I am not the biggest fan of frequent video posts. It's too much for viewers to take in and view counts will suffer. Also, you could put too much pressure on yourself to release videos frequently and the result is a decline in quality of your content. I can appreciate a video that requires a lot of time and effort put in. I have seen channels with large subscriber counts that take this approach. It's up to you what you want to do, but I say treat this like a hobby.
I really enjoy this channel. 👍✨
5 years later, what's your new opinion on this stance? How has TH-cam Shorts changed your philosophy?
Good question. I’d argue nowadays to gain relevance you need to post far MORE content- unless you are an enigma like Scott The Woz or JonTron
Catch 22 is a great movie. Check it out.
I agree it is very hard for smaller channels now...I don't know why the algorithm punishes growth now, different than 2008.
Back then any videos made went bigger for say
I don't rely on TH-cam to promote my videos. I hardly get any views from TH-cam. My views come from me hustling and promoting my videos on social media.Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit. I have a way bigger following on those platforms so that's where my views come from. Its not that you post too much. Maybe you gotta put more time into hustling again instead of praying to the algorithm to promote you
Yeah.. I'm pretty sure your new set is killing the channel.. that red BG is killing you. J/S
Serious question.. how do you know what that Algorithm is doing?? did you get insider information? TH-cam them self doesn't even admit to what that thing is doing.
And the quartering is posting 3 a day! Suppose it depends on how big you are.
My opinion. All that matters is the viewer experience. If that helps.
I don't see whwy people are into video games.
we all know what clique u r talking about, , maybe a leaky basement might help..lol just messing with ya....I wish you nothing but the best SmashJT
I know I've gained a huge fraction of my subs from my other TH-cam friends. I've never asked for it, we just make videos together and i know it helps me in the long run,
Hi Smash JT. I would like to hear a response to the comment I left you a few days ago. Thanks
Which comment? Sorry I missed it!
@@SmashJT Sure. Here is my original comment: My question for you is what do you want to achieve from this channel?

Ohhh I remember this. Sorry I thought it was rhetorical. It had me thinking deeply about the direction and to be honest, I’ve always wanted to keep it wide open. To be a exhibition of my passions and grow the community through thoughtful discussions. It’s a delicate balance for sure.
@@SmashJT Thanks for replying. It should be about the community and it always nice to see it grow.
I have uploaded over 10 videos everyday !
well i enjoy your vids
when people focus on their content and do it well and don't try to be celebrities, just be themselves, then that's where the magic happens. I don't ever watch big youtubers. they tire me out.
agreed
Honestly you should review shitty gaming products then smash them with that hammer. I bet you that would get you views...I flipped through a few of your vids and I see no smashing lol. Put that hammer to use, that would make some originality to your content. People love seeing stuff destroyed... just my advice.
Watch my ps classic review.or search “Smashed JT” I have smashed a lot of amiibo, arcade cabinets, and game products.
I’ve smashed and smashed and smashed.
They don’t bring in any views.
im highly likely in this same boat, but you gotta remember our core audience is perhaps the most fickle people that watch and read entertainment. not to insult them, but they are also very wishy washy and sometimes not aware of how a site like youtube might work. to be fair, lots of people arent. they dont realize that just missing ONE video has the potential to affect a channel. We are all at the mercy of a robot, while at the same time our audiences. The robot will judge us based solely on who DOESNT watch our videos as opposed to who does. TH-cam gives a fuck less about who supports us.
Thanks for coming by Eric. I saw you post on Twitter about this the other day and it was already eating away at me. I had to get it off my chest and make the video. My channel is on a slight downswing but it’s like the stock market. Can’t play it day to day, it’s a long term investment.
The audience is finicky for sure but I can’t hold anyone more accountable than myself and even I can’t watch everything from everyone so I get it. The algorithm screws you.
Hey buddy I can see the problem straight away, you have been very successful with TH-cam and have had videos get lots of views (200k) but the problem is that the algorithm has given you power to rank for that, if you make more videos like your top viewed ones, your growth will start becoming ridiculously high, I have just started implementing this on my other TH-cam channel @carvedculture - stay blessed, good luck!
So are you saying to make videos that people want to watch?
@@satshortcuts - At the beginning of your TH-cam channel journey - you should make different types of videos, once you have a few that do really well, make more videos like your most popular ones and the ones that are not popular stop making those. You can even break it down, for example, on your channel I can see that your most popular video has 3,500 views, its duration is 1 minute 45, the thumbnail is the best out of your other videos and the title asks a question.
If you made other videos asking a question and help people with maths (Easy and difficult) you could reach a large audience, but the title and thumbnail are the most important and I dont think hashtags are very popular on TH-cam titles at the moment. I would highly recommend watching a few of my videos as I teach people how to be successful on TH-cam and in business.
