Hi everyone, I wanted to share the incredible results I've had since starting this course a month ago. For me these numbers are huge - For many of you they are not. That's fine as we are all at different stages on our YT journey. My views in the last month have been 2.7k. This is impressive given that it is up 2.5k from the previous month
-
Another update, ladies and gentlemen, huge milestone 3.5 months into the gamin channel now, and I am on my way to 700 subs now. Closing in on 3000 watch hours!
-
I'm super excited to share that I reached the 500 subscribers milestone today 🤩 Can't wait to see how this is going to improve now I'm going through your course Dan!

Hello! And firstly, thanks to Dan the Creator for setting up this great community with so much amazing information. Last weekend I had my 1st ever video go viral after creating on my channel Emma Voysey Health since Sept of last year (and I treat this as my full time job!).
-
Getting closer to the elusive 'monetisation' threshold as I am currently at 3400 Watch Hours and 1600+ Subscribers. Thank You Dan for putting this Academy together as very helpful and inspirational.

Hey all! My small win last week is that I've got a "viral" video that had almost 5000 views on a channel with only 250 subscribers. It brought me another 200 subs in 10 days and most importantly a lot of motivation!
