In this episode, I've got to tell you about this amazing chat I had with Derral Eves. If you haven't heard of him, he's the genius who's been helping YouTube stars like Mr. Beast become household names, and he's the brains behind Vid Summit. We got together to talk about something I'm super passionate about: leveraging YouTube for local businesses, especially for my fellow vets out there. And before we jump in, a huge thanks to WhiteSpark and CallRail for supporting our show and helping businesses shine with local SEO and call tracking. Now, let me tell you about Derral's journey. This guy started his digital marketing agency way back in '99 and pivoted to YouTube when it was just a fledgling platform in 2005. He's not just a marketing whiz; he's also a dad to five kids down in southern Utah. His personal story is a testament to how YouTube can revolutionize the way we build audiences and make money. In our conversation, Derral dropped some serious knowledge about the unique advantages YouTube has over other platforms like TikTok. We're talking about real revenue and engagement potential here. He shared stories of success from all kinds of niches, proving that no matter how specialized your interest is, there's room for you on YouTube. For us in the veterinary field, this is golden. I even shared how Dr. Cody Gillman's YouTube channel skyrocketed to 60,000 subscribers, boosting his practice and making it a magnet for young talent in the industry. Derral's parting wisdom? Focus on your passion, not just the views. Whether you're starting a new channel or building on an existing one, clarity and consistency are your best friends. And don't worry about being too niche – it's all about finding your unique specialty and owning it. Remember to check your YouTube data now and then, but don't obsess over it. Keep an eye on metrics like click-through rates and viewer behavior post-video to keep improving your content. Wrapping up, I'm just blown away by the potential YouTube has for vets and local businesses. It's not just about growing your practice; it's about building a community and sharing your passion with the world. So, if you're a vet looking to make a mark, or you're just starting out, consider this your sign to dive into video marketing on YouTube. It could be the best move you make for your business. Thanks for tuning in, and I can't wait to see where your YouTube journey takes you!
