How To Find & Build A YouTube Dream Team

My Favourite Things

🧵 Tweet Thread of the Week - Creator Now's Shorts Tweet Thread -

‍

YouTube Shorts are an exciting way for creators to share their work with the world but a lot of creators are still struggling to integrate them into their strategy.

Creator Now is a cohort-based program that helps creators to level up their YouTube videos and grow a community; from time-to-time they'll tweet out a thread like this one that breaks down what's working for them and their students.

‍

Here’s a description of the book: “I took home more in a year than the CEOs of McDonald's, IKEA, Ford, Motorola, and Yahoo combined as a kid in my 20s using the $100M Offers method. It works. And it will work for you.”
