EP 367: State Of The YouTube Address with Tim Schmoyer

Our featured guest on EDGE of the Web episode 367 is Tim Schmoyer, CEO of Video Creators. In 2006, Tim was in graduate school and wanted to introduce his girlfriend to his family across the country, so he uploaded videos to YouTube of them hanging out together. Others started watching, which freaked him out a bit, so he started digging into YouTube to figure out how it worked. In 2011, he became the first creator to start training YouTube creators. Today his company, Video Creators, has been featured by FOX, Forbes, BBC even YouTube themselves. His team has helped their clients organically earn over 17 billion views and 70 million subscribers, but that’s only the beginning as they continue to train creators to master YouTube and change lives. Tune in today to learn how to grow a loyal audience while creating top-notch video content from an expert!
