How a YouTube channel with little views and subscribers gained a 617% ROI in one short month.
You don’t need to have a YouTube channel with hundreds or even thousands of views in order to make money and Kathy Goughenour of Expert VA Training is proof of that.
There’s a common myth out there about YouTube and I’m sure you’ve heard it.
It’s that the litmus test for a successful channel is one that has garnered thousands of subscribers and millions of views.
This is what everyone strives for.
