Great video! Very thorough and some great advice.. Thanks for the feature :)

[PedroTechnologies]

Started my channel about 5 months ago, it has been a crazy journey. Over 100 videos posted and I can finally understand everything in this video. I watched this before starting my channel and could not relate to most stuff, now I see how valuable the advice you guys are giving is!

EDIT: Trust the process, I posted this over 1 year ago and i'm almost hitting 100k! Start ur channel now!

Thanks so much for including me in the video! 🙌 If anyone has questions about Patreon OR about Data Science with Python, I'd be more than happy to answer them 😄

[RealToughCandy]

That YouTube Play button is looking awesome! Great job fCC and Beau and thank you for having me on!

[WaelYasmina]

I started my channel 2 months ago and I'm already in love with the results, it's really worth it, I'm improving my English, my way of sharing information, my video editing skills and of course my coding skills as I have to do enough research and learn about the topic I'm going to talk about before creating the video. Yet there's still a lot to improve so yeah... thanks for the video !

[CamPerry]

Some of these YouTubers getting the love they really deserve.

[CodingGarden]

Great video! Tons of excellent advice! Thanks for showing my channel!! 💚

[Nikecodes]

This video gave me enough confidence to start my YouTube channel, and my first video will be uploaded in few hours! :)
Very excited!

The second Guy spoke from the heart and I felt it. A genuine Youtuber.

Thank you for the wonderful video Beau! You were correct in the first few minutes of your video. Even if you're just making videos to show a particular task or way of doing things, that just reinforces the learning process and embedds that information even further into your brain. That is one of the most important parts about learning in this overwhelming field. I believe many people would be surprised to learn how much they know about a topic by just teaching someone about what they're learning. You never really know you're adept on a topic, until you have to explain it.

33:00 This is the BEST explanation of YouTube algorithm I have seen so far. Thank you

[comments_very_nice]

I love how even a tutorial on making tutorials is made like their coding tutorials and not just some five minutes quick and dirty tips

[JesseWeigel]

Great job Beau! Thanks for the opportunity to be on the video.

[rubhan]

It's really awesome to see all you guys collaborate on this video. Thanks for all the tutorials, help, advises, life experiences, and all the other things you guys do and cover. I really appreciate it!
I really want to try making videos for YouTube one day soon. :D

[EatTheBlocks]

Awesome video thanks Beau! I really liked the categorization of coding channels.

Also enjoyed the advice on sponsorship.

[codicts]

I created mine a month ago, thanks to all of you!

[eitanshirman]

Damn, this channel is a true treasure, still can’t believe we get all this knowledge for free

[ToddPressleyy]

Appreciate you putting this out there. Happened to be exactly what I was looking for, bundled with other things I wasn't -- but should have been -- looking for. Thanks!

[joelhounak]

This channel has inspired me a lot. So much that I finally started my own channel to talk about the future of energy and technology
