Super job, super content, Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you
Great video guys, and solid advice, love the content over subscribers outlook.
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed this.
I really like how down to earth this is.
Thanks a lot, that's great to hear. Glad you enjoy it.
with all due respect, guys, but I think this is not a good example for what one would call a successful CZcams channel. The most recent numbers are very overseeable (like below 1k for every recent video). The big hits are ages old (5 to 10 years) and that is a loooong time. I am sorry to say that, as I appreciate this channel, but for me, this is NOT a successful education channel. It's size and growth are not exponential but very overseeable. So any advice should be taken with a grain of salt. Just my 0.02.
Thank you for your comment, I agree in part but also disagree. It depends on who you compare yourself to.
It may be a slow burn but I think unless you cover some famous trending piece of software or topic, educational content is usually slow to pick up and develop. 'Viral' stuff tends to die down soon.
This is even more true if you follow the strategy that Chris (and myself) tend to employ: specific videos showing one thing, teaching one solution. Those usually don't have a huge audience overall, which is why becoming evergreen is a great benefit: they will keep being relevant many years from now.
I appreciate your feedback, loving the conversation.
