[KeithHanshaw]

Man, I love listening to your videos but that dog barking is an instant bounce lol for some reason it goes right through me!

[homestudioacademy]

After 8 months of YouTube, 40+ videos, 427 subs, I truly understand how much WORK goes into this. No downtime, insane hours of editing, it takes A LOT of effort. I cannot believe people think it’s just pressing record on a camera and expecting magic to happen

[ceocitywebdesignpros]

I have been watching Roberto since he was a kid his growth has been a true example of what sticking to something will get you . Hey Roberto let's work together bro

[TeacherKellyTag]

31:20 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Loved your response to him!

[JoshLevelsUp]

Can't wait to dive into the video, Roberto. I typically watch these or listen over the course of a few days and they're always appreciated!

[paulmack]

These videos are viewer magnets. Only a few will succeed on YT. Most will fail.

[confidenceovercomparison]

congrats on your book and events!! i remember when i first found you when you were under 1k subs😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[LandoSuccess]

Stay being transparent I abhor when people are scare to talk MONEY!! I always show people because it motivate ppl that’s why I got started

[amber.richards]

I've had a struggle with finding the best way to promote my content on Instagram, but thankfully, I discovered Boost App Social which has been a game changer. Now that I'm planning to dive into YouTube, I really appreciate your comprehensive step-by-step guide. I hope I can find the same success on YouTube with the help of your tips! 🙌

[ChiTownChei]

Roberto, because of health issues.... I can't always be consistent with YouTube. Some days I can't do anything. So I spend this time watching and listening to you and other YouTube ppl who KNOW. Thank you so much. Editing still intimidates me. I hired an editor off Fiverr for a video. Gonna do it again. You make ppl believe they can crush it. Thank you. I know I have an incredible story to tell. It doesn't matter your challenges...It all depends on how you deal with it. I've invested and it didn't pay off. I'm not giving up. Keep it up. Thanks againn

[prettythingshomedecor]

Content creation isn't easy. I am a former teacher and now I am trying to learn how to edit videos, learn about lighting and so many other skills. People don't realize how much time creators invest in making videos.

[veronicahejny]

Thank you for all of the advice and examples! I'm in the very beginning stages of planning how to start creating and all of your videos and live streams have been super helpful!

[StudioSS]

Lol the dog has relevant experience he's dying to elaborate on.

[AlekzanDesigner]

As someone who is taking YouTube seriously for the first time; I appreciate all of your content. Thank you!

[LisaHarvey]

It takes hard work, dedication, persistence and consistency. I started making videos for this niche in August 2022 and I'm halfway to monetization. I also have a blog and an email list. Loved the advice in this vid.

[haggleme]

Someone was just telling me about their mentor and how much success she’s had because of her. You are officially my mentor❤

[stacyb]

600k subs, and you still do it on your own?! Damn. Props, man. Your thumbnails keep popping up on my deed, so this is the first thing I've opened. I'm a middle-aged female. I believe I have good ideas and truly want to jump into this. So I'm learning as much as I can from people like you, who have been there and done that. Just saying thanks for providing so much information.

[timyonce]

Roberto, So much information in this live stream. I have just ordered your book and cannot wait to sit down to read it. I am sure there is a lot of 🔥 included in it.

[MicahBuzanMUSIC]

So many pragmatic pieces of advice. I love listening to your streams while I draw.

[PBJayReen]

The pup.😂😂😊This would be one of my challenges with streaming, except I have kids.lol This is great stuff, Roberto! Enjoyed the stream, as always!
