My Favourite Things This Week

📖 What I'm Reading

How One YouTuber Made Over $664,000 From His Channel - If you're curious about the financial side of YouTube, you won't want to miss this in-depth blog post that a YouTuber who creates videos in the LEGO niche has written. 'Brick Experiment Channel' was kind enough to give us a peak behind the scenes at his YouTube Analytics and how much money his channel has generated since he launched.

So far, the channel has made over $664,000 with a total of over 705 million views. He takes us through his earnings, including the average earnings per video, the revenue generated from his most popular video, and the different types of ads he uses. He also shares his expenses and other sources of income for the channel.

🧰 Useful Resource I'm Sharing

The Best Free Fonts for Videos - I speak to a lot of new YouTubers who struggle to find great-looking fonts for their videos and thumbnails and I'm constantly telling them about fontshare.com

The site offers a variety of personal and commercial fonts for free download, and the best part is that it comes with some handy toggles and sliders so you can try out the font's size, weight, and other features before downloading. It's the perfect tool for anyone who wants to expand their font collection and hopefully, this will be a useful resource in your creator toolkit!

📖 Tweet Thread I'm Reading

Justin Welsh's Guide To a "Creator Funnel" - Every creator needs a "Creator Funnel", it's a simple journey your audience goes through, increasing the chance they become a customer at each step.

Justin breaks this down for us into three stages: getting discovered, building trust, and then deepening relationships. If you're trying to build an audience this year, definitely check out this thread and follow Justin on Twitter as he's constantly dropping knowledge bombs on there.

Thanks for reading, if you want to reach out to me, just send a tweet to @WhiffenYT. Have a wonderful weekend!
