#056 - One of my favorite parts of being friends with entrepreneurs is seeing how far they progress in just a year. In this podcast episode I chat with Thomas Frank, a four-time guest on the show, to talk with him about how he has grown his YouTube channel to over 166,000 subscribers and almost 5,000,000 views by making weekly videos for just over a year. In this episode we discuss: * Why sometimes publishing a low production quality video is more important than missing a week * How better thumbnails and descriptions lead to your videos ranking higher * Why you might not want to send people to your website from YouTube * How to collaborate with bigger channels even when you don't have many subscribers * Whether or not your YouTube videos should have ads on them
