Today we’re talking with another creative maker and true artist in our field, Jon Peters.  He’s a unique combination of a painter and woodworker.  Jon talks with us about owning his own art gallery before moving his business online and finding YouTube while trying to share his videos with his family and friends.  He shares some awesome insights from being a brick and mortar business owner transitioning into a digital world.

Jon has been one of the accounts i have been following forever on youtube, so having him on the show was hugely nostalgic for me. With over 420k subscribers and 656 uploads, Jon has been putting the work for over 9 years on youtube, and has been a staple in the maker community for a long time!

MFP 126: The Road to 1 Million YouTube Subscribers

We’re in the midst of an unprecedented time in our economy with the corona virus and covid-19 putting us in lockdown and shutting the doors of countless businesses.  We don’t know exactly where this thing is going but we thought it was a great chance to talk about getting scrappy when times are tough and how to survive this downturn.

MFP 125:  Surviving Hard Times – 2020 Corona Virus

We’re two months into the new year and hopefully you’ve been able to stay with new year resolutions or business practices you put into place this year.  But  it’s easy to fall back into old habits if you don’t have good systems in place.  John and I just recently got back from Workbench Con where we did a presentation on business systems and we want to share that with you if you weren’t able to make it.  And today it’s going to be all about scheduling your time and managing your e-mail and documents.

We’re stoked about today’s guest who honestly shared some of what I think is the most valuable content we’ve had to date.  Tim Schmoyer is one of the premier YouTube experts, but the knowledge you’ll get in this episode goes way past YouTube.  He talks about finding your perfect customer, weaving your brand story, and finding and filling the needs of your customers.  You’re gonna love this one.

His company, Video Creators, has been featured by FOX, Forbes, BBC even YouTube themselves as his team trains creators and brands to master YouTube and use it as a place to spread messages that change lives.
