Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week we cover business topics to help you grow your full-time business or your side hustle.

We'll also bring you interviews from a variety of people winning in their space to share valuable business insights and life lessons.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a full-time content creator running Fix This Build That.com.

And my co-host, John Mulecki, runs a full-time furniture company and his content site,

John Mellecki.com.

We've been growing our successful businesses online, and we want to bring you into the conversation

and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode 60.

You put in the time, you take the leap to get in front of the camera.

You publish your first YouTube video and then you just wait for the views to roll in.

And wait.

And wait.

Getting views and growing on YouTube is a lot harder than it sounds.

John and I have been publishing on YouTube for almost three years now, and we have learned a ton along the way.

So today we're going to talk about all the things that have helped us grow as well as some of the recent trends that we're seeing.

And the new metric that might be the most important thing that we think YouTube is telling us right now. So stay tuned for that. But before we get into it, we do want to thank our new members

that joined the MFP patron tribe this week. We had quite a few this week. We had Brian Warner,

Bill Lewis, Anthony Scott of 1350 design, Sean Daniels, and J.P. Brown. Thank you guys so much for joining. If you want to

much. It is nice to get back into some semblance of a rhythm.
