BE RADICAL

I definitely went to a cabin to take photos of logs and kindling to make the above 😂. The camp host was so confused when he saw me selecting "perfect" wood and snapping pics of it. It's what we do for content I guess haha!

[RaHents]

Give me FUEL, give me FIIRE, give me REACH that I desire!

[CircainReacts]

Nate, I’ve watched all of your videos before starting my channel, and my first 4 videos all have 3, 000+ combined views, you have been so helpful in my journey!

[Unscripted]

I just started today after learning a lot from you. Thanks for your motivation and inspiration, I don't know anything about this youtube world, but I decided to do this in my way '' being me '' no thumbnails no editing just camera using my phone and my plan is 1k videos and see what algorithm will do

Nate really went into the woods with a lighter just for a 3 second clip. Just for us. I'm touched.

[janette]

Thanks! This is going to be really helpful! Good to have you back Nate!

7:48 your breakdown of the types of content is the best i’ve seen on YouTube. It really help clarify some of ?s with content creation. Straight FIYAHH 🔥🔥🔥!

[SilverSnakeDesigns]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I must say, this video was one of the best videos I’ve watched and using the analogy of a campsite and campfire really help put things into perspective. There is a lot of great information in this video and I wanted to thank you for everything you do. I will start utilizing what I’ve learned from this video!! Keep up the great work.

One time I got drunk and fell in a camp fire, it feels similar to my YouTube experience.

[glendahopp]

You have the most helpful channel I've seen and I've looked at a lot of them. Your analytic approach provides so much useful info and your style infuses me with confidence. Thank you!

[samanthacboyer]

Thanks for the shout-out and kind words, Nate! And for yet another amazingly helpful video 🙏

[JeremyChone]

Wow, this is an awesome framework. Thanks a lot for sharing. This is one of the best videos on that topic (and I watch too many of them).

[tylerknowsanimals]

This video was excellent! Very insightful, so thank you very much, Nate! I’ll definitely watch it a few more times to make sure I get everything down.

[healthandyum]

Such an amazing video! Like all your videos, I’ll watch it a few times to make sure that I fully get everything you teach. Thank you! There is a lot of advice for creators on YouTube, but you have a different way of teaching and you also share things from a different perspective that makes total sense to me. ❤

[BlackbirdProductions]

I've watched a couple of your videos and I love the analogies and hands on examples you provide it helps me understand content creation much better than any other creator in your niche.

[NENStudios]

Great job you did here nate. Keep soaring 🔥

[Shardcives]

So happy to see another video from you nate! You have transformed me from a simple creator putting works out there into a small influencer capable of being audiance driven and impactful

[CRUSHEQUITY]

Thank you so much for everything you do bro. You are the GOAT for YT Algorithm and just good ol content creation vids. I tell anyone interesting in YT about your channel.

[MyWildBackyard]

Love these algorithm videos. Speaking of, I'm thinking of potentially getting into the YouTube-strategy space with you soon documenting THIS channel's journey to 1M subscribers

[anitanyamizi]

Sir, respectfully WHY DID'NT YOU MAKE THIS SOONER?? This is the best video you have ever made and this is TOP 1 best video for any YouTube that's starting, any one that already has a high audience. This video works for everyone. I'm annoyed I didn't watch this a month earlier. This video combined with the roast video you made for the food eaters, that's all anyone needs.
