Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're in the program before that day, none of that makes any difference to you. If I get 4,000 watch hours between now and February 1st, I'm in the program.
Shorts get you subs. Your long content will get you a little bit of subs, but mainly watch hours. Lives gives you watch hours, and lives help you build a community.
The best video is the worst quality video. I think we put too much time into editing. We want to have the best looking video, the coolest toys in it.
If you can't answer why you going to click on that, then you need to change it. You need to come up with something different.
