I'll be happy to help! Like giving you a LIKE, to move UP! Or my modest opinion of your channel or whatever is in my hand... even if it's only a little help... (I'm here to learn too). Let me know 😏

I’m considering adding interviews to my YouTube channel and wanted feedback from creators who’ve tested interview formats. The idea is to bring on two types of guests: 1️⃣ People who want to get better with money– Early or mid-journey– Learning how to budget, invest, or build confidence– Real conversations about mistakes, mindset, and progress 2️⃣ People who’ve already achieved financial success– Investors, business owners, professionals– Sharing how they actually built wealth– What they did right, what they’d do differently, and what beginners misunderstand Since this group has thousands of members, I’m also thinking about interviewing volunteers from inside this community — both people still learning and people further along who want to share their story. My goal is to make money and investing feel more relatable and less intimidating. For those of you who’ve added interviews: - Did interviews help or hurt channel growth early on? - Any format advice (short vs long, solo intro first, etc.)? - Anything you’d do differently if starting interviews again? And if you’d want to be interviewed (or think you’d be a good fit), feel free to comment or DM me. Appreciate any insight 🙏

So my watch time from non subscribers is 83.7% and my subscribers is 16.3%. My question; is there a way to target or get these non subscribers to subscribe? I’m only 3 weeks on my channel maybe it’s too early to think about these things ?

A while back, someone in this community started a collaboration thread, and I thought it was a great idea. I’d love to try something like that again. Here’s my thinking: no matter what stage you’re at on YouTube, most people outside this world still think having a channel is a “nice hobby” or a novelty. But I’m willing to bet that you don’t see it that way. I know I don’t. This feels like something real. Something important. Maybe even a breakthrough chapter in life. So here’s my proposal: I’d love to find one or a few people to collaborate with in a very practical way — sharing ideas, giving honest feedback, keeping each other motivated, maybe even cross-promoting when it makes sense. Ideally, I’m looking for someone at roughly the same stage as me: • Not monetized yet • Around ~2300 subscribers • Actively working on growth and watch hours • Running a channel solo • My channel is called Aging Strong. It’s in the fitness space (loosely), focused on people over 60, with a big emphasis on healthspan, lifespan, and staying capable and independent as we age. You don’t have to be in the same niche, but you should be someone who’s taking this seriously and building something you really care about. This is not about gurus or courses or “growth hacks.” It’s about not doing this alone and building something alongside someone who takes it just as seriously as you do. If this resonates with you, reply here or DM me and tell me a bit about your channel and where you’re trying to go. Worst case: nothing happens.
Best case: we build something better and faster together.

Before we rush into the next goal, the next upload, the next milestone—let’s pause for a moment. Gratitude for how far you’ve already come. Gratitude for every viewer and subscriber who chose to spend their time with you. Gratitude for YouTube being a free platform where we get to share our thoughts, skills, experiences, and stories—without permission, gatekeepers, or limits. It’s easy to normalize this. But zoom out for a second. We’re living in a time where we can connect with brilliant minds all over the world instantly. Learn from each other. Teach. Build. Create impact from our living rooms. That’s not small. That’s extraordinary. Today, just take a breath and acknowledge it.You’re not behind. You’re participating in something incredibly rare—and powerful. Grateful for this space. Grateful for this community. Grateful for you all and wishing you a happy holiday season.🤍
