Anna Tyrie shares the brutal truth about building YouTube channels that actually make money. Forget what the gurus tell you - Anna's been there, done that, and learned the hard way what really works.
Her Scouse accent video blew up, but brought in all the wrong people. Meanwhile, her simple singing warmups with zero fancy intros quietly built a business without her even trying.
In this conversation, Anna opens up about the YouTube mistakes that nearly derailed her business, why videos often sit dead for 100-300 days before suddenly taking off, and why she's ditched her expensive DSLR for an iPhone and a simple lapel mic.
You'll hear why audio quality matters more than anything else (seriously, viewers will tolerate bad video but HATE bad audio), her method for organizing content into "buckets" instead of chasing trends, and the simple "Francesca test" she uses for every video idea.
If you're tired of posting videos that get views but zero actual business results, this might be the most important YouTube strategy conversation you'll hear this year.
