Hello!

I'm a connected parenting coach for parents of sensitive spirited kids and teens. In particular, I work with a lot of parents whose sensitive kids are anxious, lacking self-confidence, have intense emotions and/or outbursts. I help parents learn gentle practices for building a strong, respec…

Very helpful thank you 

@George Kao ! Immediately applicable to content creation for my current marketing strategy. I think I often try to cram ALL these stages into a marketing content, which is too much. With my YouTube Channel, I think it's most powerful for stages 1, 2, 3 and sometimes 4 if I'm lucky and strike a chord. The rest I need to get them to my website or sales pages. It's nice to see this so clearly.

@Clare Maxwell Yes, agreed, nice to have it laid out so clearly. And I'm finding the same thing--YouTube channel is helping me  educate people, and eventually some of them are finding me and working with me via my website.

@Clare Maxwell Thanks for sharing. I just checked out your channel--so much great educational content there! And I agree re: interviews--they do take a bit of organization and work to set up, but I find them fun and it feels good to share and be of service :)

This is fantastic George! A few years ago, I created a course for parents for how to help their kids calm and regulate, using current neuroscience and developmental literature. They were problem-aware, and thought the issue was to change their kids. I didn't realize it at the time, but an outcome of that was that parents began to realize they needed to work on their own regulation first, before their kids could learn to calm and regulate, and I now offer Somatic Therapy to support those parents. Every time I offer the course, one or more people get interested in doing the 1:1 work with me.

This framework is helping me to see the gaps that I can fill in, to support people on their awareness to action journey. :)

YouTube regularly features "small" creators -- so keep creating to increase your chances!

Thank you for showing clearly how success with YouTube is possible without the insane hype!

@Sarah Cashmore Agreed! And I find it's way easier to get featured, or found, even a few weeks after I post a video--here on YouTube, more so than on other social media channels. 

CA

@Sarah Cashmore Yes, exactly! Me too. I noticed that a while back. People find some of my popular videos even months after I've posted them, and comment/engage. 

I've just recently pared back my social media presence to YouTube and IG. I don't seem to get engagement on FB biz page (even with ads), nor much on Linked In.

Hi 

@George Kao I'm asking a couple of questions here because I can't make the live classes or Q&A till Jan 29th. 
I'm just looking at setting up playlists.

Is there an advantage, in terms of how my YT home page is set up, to having my videos in playlists? I just did a google search, and it seems that maybe people might be more likely to stay on my YT channel if they get one video after another queued up to play automatically on the playlist???

Can I put a video into two different play lists? Or would that be a bad idea?

Is the title of the playlist important, in terms of SEO? I think I recall from past training with you that the video title is important for SEO--so just wondering if it's the same for playlist title.

I can hardly wait to attend a live class + Q&A!

Thanks.
