  • YouTube Channel Success with Dave Maze [Ep203]

    Dave Maze joins us on this episode to discuss how he was able to receive 100% rights to the Kinotika YouTube channel of which he was once the main host.  We're also diving into the features and characteristics of a successful youtube channel and brand. We're analyzing current successful channels and others that used to be in the spotlight and have since dropped off quite a bit.  Building a youtube channel is no walk in the park. Many people seem to want to build a new channel each and every day and expect results to become evident from one day to the next; in this episode, Dave and I are discussing the realities of YouTubing and how it is a very burdensome task.
