I started my YouTube channel in April 2024. I knew nothing about what to do or how to get started! It turns out that EVERY QUESTION I HAD ALONG THE WAY WAS ANSWERED BY THIS GUY RIGHT HERE! If you are new to YouTube creation, you can't go wrong with Think Media, and Nolan in particular! I am so grateful to Nolan and so appreciate the work he has done. These videos are short, to the point, and packed with the essential information you need to know! I now have 42 videos posted, and my channel is growing like a weed! I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT NOLAN, HIS TEAM, AND HIS CHANNEL! I really appreciate this very much! All of my videos will have chapters! You gotta just press record!

Two years later and I want to say thank you for this! As a small channel, it's little things like this that help me understand and grow and let the viewer pick and choose the stories

[diosadeamore]

Thank you for this! I've just started - I'm a mum, 40s, late-diagnosed ADHD and currently sharing conversations about life with ADHD!

[mozfan]

Your tutorial on the time codes went straight to what mattered and explained how to do it clearly and concisely without a lot of blather or detours. Great job!!!

[MyJourneySolo]

I have a travel channel. It needs some work but I am learning. Getting ready for a 7 month trip and hope I can improve future videos.

[AskBobnFran]

We are both in our 80's and may be the oldest new YouTubers around! Thank you so much for all your sage advice. You are a key person in making our new channel a success!

[thatsaturdayteacher]

I'm a teacher and this will be super helpful so my students can study from my video classes without watching the entire lesson. Only what they need for the homework or the exam. Thank you so much!

[ChosenCosmoCoach]

Im a Cosmetology Educator & Life & Entrepreneur Coach! Thank you for this helpful Video! I launched on 7/4 trying to learn how to maximize my viewers and become monitored quickly!

[PianoSongDownload]

Great tips! I'm going to start using these in my longer videos.

[HouseHunt]

Just what I needed!. Perfect timing for this video.

[Becoming.Bianca]

Just started my channel 3d days ago documenting my weight loss quest so this is great so people don’t feel locked into me droning on. As a brand new channel it’s hard to get noticed

[inspirationaltipper]

Who else appreciates the work Think Media does to help everyone else grow?! Thanks again Think Media for another awesome Tip! :)

[ReeseRyanWrites]

My YouTube channel is a place where romance readers and authors connect to discuss topics and issues relevant to romance.

Thanks for this great tutorial, Nolan! So simple, yet I had no idea how to do this.

[diffusionx]

Thanks mate. That's what I need for my jungle mix

[jimmyispromo]

So funny, just put those in last night for today's video. Also testing to see if it helps capture more ads
