Welcome to the YouTube Creators Hub podcast, where we help you conquer the internet one video at a time.

We cover everything from how to start a YouTube channel to how to make a video go viral.

And now, here's your host, the one and only Dusty Porter.

Hello and welcome to this week's conversation on the YouTube Creators Hub podcast.

I am really excited to be here this week.

We've got a really great interview for you with a wonderful creator.

But before we get to that, I just want to remind you that you can support us by checking

out To Buddy, our primary sponsor, the one tool that I call the Swiss Army Knife tool of YouTube. So if you're looking for a tool to take your YouTube channel to the next level, check out what Two Buddy has to offer. You get a free 30-day trial down below. I've been doing a lot of coaching this week. So if you're looking for one-on-one YouTube coaching, launching a podcast, something of that nature, in the creative space, definitely reach out to me. I'd love to work with you, as well as our really quickly growing YouTube creator community over on our Discord. We host monthly masterminds over there, and you get access to that for five bucks over on our Patreon. All of those links will be down below. And don't forget to check out the newsletter if you want to stay in touch with me and see what I got going on just in my business in general.

Man, what a week it has been.

YouTube has been just crazily releasing and announcing new features.

We have the YouTube shorts going up to three minutes now.

I think that's probably going to be a game changer.

I know that if you were ignoring

shorts before, it may be hard to do that going forward just because of the nature and the amount of

time they're putting into them. I believe we're going to see them show up much more in search,

which is going to hurt certain channels like mine, but I do believe it's going to also benefit

them in a way as well. So definitely always stay up to on the news with what's going on with YouTube. You have to be willing to pivot. You have to be willing to evolve with the times and not always rest on your laurels. Certainly something you need to do. If you don't know what we do here, each and every week I interview a content creator specifically on YouTube. I chat with them about their journey, the failures they've had, what makes them succeed,

and this week is no different. If that sounds good to you, stick around, subscribe to the show.

We go live with a new episode every Friday morning, Eastern Standard Time, and without further ado,

let's go ahead and jump into this week's

conversation. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's conversation on the YouTube

Creators Hub podcast. My name's Dusty, as always, joined today by Sam Cottle from Tampa, Florida.
