If you make money from brand deals on YouTube, you need to understand the ad disclosure rules. Not maybe. Not “I’ll figure it out later.” Because one bad video, one missed sentence, and the whole channel can suffer.

K-pop rules playlists. K-dramas own Netflix. South Korea is one of YouTube’s most active (and demanding) markets.

If you check the top 100 YouTube creators with 10 million subs, many still focus almost entirely on YouTube. But what about their Instagram and TikTok? They can be underbuilt. And that’s a missed opportunity.

You can translate a YouTube video with ChatGPT in minutes. The problem? If you just dump your script in and take whatever it spits out… you’re risking losing your audience.

While making money from ads and brand deals is awesome, don't overlook YouTube memberships. It can bring in extra income without adding a ton of extra work.

YouTube loves live streams. They boost your visibility, get you on the algorithm’s radar, and make you more money. But doing them yourself? Every day? That’s a burnout recipe.

One Google account can manage multiple YouTube channels. And if you set them up right, it saves time and effort, and keeps your projects organized.
