Listen "What Really Happens When You Buy Views on YouTube"
Episode Synopsis
I'm relaunching Aspiring Creator and this time I've outsourced everything except sitting in the chair and talking, so kick back and come behind the scenes 😃In this episode I talk about the surprising impact chapters can have on watch time, the real impact of buying views, and the early lessons from working with an agent instead of managing every brand deal myself.If you're building a creator business and want the unpolished version of what's working (and what's not), this one's for you.New episodes every Wednesday 🚀⏰ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Buying Every New Apple Product 📱05:58 My First-Ever Apple Briefing Invite 🍏07:36 Why We Stopped Adding Chapters to Videos ⏯️08:52 The Hidden Cost of Buying Views 📉14:38 The Accountant Dilemma: Cost vs. Value 💼17:28 The Hidden Drawback of Having an Agent 🤔18:45 Why Everyone’s YouTube Views Suddenly Dropped 🔍20:40 Why A/B Testing Can Hurt Your Videos 🖼️🔗 LINKS📺 iPhone 17 Buyers Guide - https://youtu.be/Exp_iR2r3Oo📰 Subscribe to my newsletter: Experiments in Progress - https://www.experimentsinprogress.com/💬 SOCIAL STUFF▸ Instagram: @petematheson▸ LinkedIn: @petematheson▸ Website: https://www.petematheson.com/
