Growing a YouTube channel can be tough and complex.

Here’s the framework I've used to reach almost 4 million subscribers:

1️⃣ Get Going
2️⃣ Get Good
3️⃣ Get Smart

1. Get Going

The biggest resistance to success is just getting started.

You're probably using one of these 3 things as an excuse to not start:

• You’re worried what people will say
• You don't have the equipment
• You’re not sure what video to make first

All you have to do is turn your thinking around.

• No one actually cares, they'll probably think it’s cool
• You literally need a phone camera to start
• You can make videos about anything, and at the start, you should

Just start by making one video.

Once you've made one video, try to make one video a week.

Be okay with publishing one video at a time and don’t worry about the bigger picture or the quality until later on.

2. Get Good

The more we create YouTube videos, the better they will be.

My answer to the content quality vs. quantity debate is that quantity leads to quality.

It’s important to know what stage you’re in with your channel, so you can direct time and energy to what’s needed.

What productivity tip do you find genuinely works?

I’ll start: making it fun.

I asked my audience:

“What productivity tip do you find genuinely works?”

Here are 10 of the most popular replies:

1 - Three key tasks a day

Whatever happens you get 3 core things completed each day.

2 - Productive time scheduling

Find your most productive time in the day (eg early morning, late at night etc) and plan accordingly.

3 - Say no

Doing productive work means focusing on a few things that matter.

4 - The 2-minute rule

If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.
