These principles are the driving force behind her growth to over 660K subscribers on YouTube. Emily regularly has over 30K people watching her live streams. We discuss what it takes to manage those numbers in real time and why creating a sense of community is vital. Join us to hear about the time I got myself in trouble with her superfans.
