In this episode, we talk about internationalization, reaching a global audience with your YouTube channel, and producing content that appeals to a wide range of people around the world. Minecraft is a worldwide game, and your content is consumed worldwide. Because of that, we need to think about how language is used in different parts of the world, and how that impacts Minecraft videos we create for our audience.

Collaborating with other content creators can be tough! Even on an SMP, you can't always line up collabs with the others so even an SMP collaboration can be difficult.
How do you get around this? This podcast episode includes 5 tips that will help you go from zero collaborations to having several content creators that you can work with on videos - whether you're a Minecraft YouTuber, or you create some other type of content!
Perhaps not Mumbo Jumbo, Dream or Xisumavoid ... or any of the other Hermitcraft or Dream SMP members. But there are other content creators that you and I can collaborate with, it just takes a little bit of focus in how you find content creators to collaborate with, how you message those creators to join their SMP server or work with them on a video, and how you make sure anything you do is mutually beneficial for both channels (Minecraft or otherwise).
How can you increase your video's engagement, keep people watching, and get higher watch time? OddManMC joined me recently, and had some helpful advice to share.

Pixlriffs is a large Minecraft content creator on YouTube, so why is he cancelling his Patreon page? Why is he closing down Pixlrift, closing down his Minecraft server? And what can we learn (or should we learn) from this?
Pixlriffs is the creator of the Minecraft Survival Guide, he's the voice of the Hermitcraft Recap, a player on the Empires SMP this year with fWhip and other creators, and he recently commentated the Hermitcraft Rivals or Twitch Rivals livestream. He's also had brand deals with NVIDIA and others.
So why would a successful creator like Pixlriffs cancel his Patreon service? With 235 patrons, Patreon is surely a massive boost to his income, but at what cost? Perhaps it's linked to what we discussed last episode, talking about creator burnout and quitting YouTube before you get burned out as a Minecraft creator (or other content creator).
That episode (about burnout) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwpvMFK7GG4
Let me know your thoughts.

What is the meaning of YouTuber burnout? Is it something you need to be worried about, and how can you prevent burnout? What happens to a YouTube channel when you take a break, and will taking a break from YouTube harm your channel?
