What makes a successful video? The answer to that question is different for everyone. However there are some things that all creators more or less agree on.   

For example, as this week’s guest says, if your video is packed with information, engaging to watch and super-enjoyable, you’ve done your job (no pressure!). If you need some extra tips to help you reach these goals, this episode has them all.
