How to grow your Youtube channel and build a loyal and positive community around it? In April 2017 I had the honor to have this talk with Clash with Ash (CWA). At the time he had built his channel to more than 300'000 subscribers, and in the meantime his channel is almost 800'000 subscribers strong. So he knows what he's talking about.
He shares his tips with us in this audio podcast. CWA is an amazing contributor to the Gaming community especially to Supercell games like Clash Royale and the competitive eSports pro niche.
