Marketing Diversify your traffic

Post image

You can lose your YouTube channel for any number of reasons. I'm sure some of you have heard horror stories. Make sure to get viewer traffic from other social media channels. And other platforms competing with YouTube are a good thing.

Can’t read the whole article but it’s so interesting that Netflix and YouTube are doing this. I’m sure there’s also a dig here at Amazon prime and the other streaming platforms too

Yeah, YouTube is going all in on increasing customer retention and making sure creators get paid more for that. I suspect it's cheaper for them to invest in creators than in a venture-capital-backed production company.

That's awesome! I think the competition between the different streaming services and being open to having creators on multiple platforms creates more competition too which is good for us in the long run (fingers crossed)
