Finding it harder to have success on YouTube? You're not alone. In this video, I'll discuss the challenges faced by content creators on YouTube due to recent algorithm changes, and I'll provide advice on how to adapt and thrive in this new landscape. I'll emphasize the importance of diversifying income streams, building an audience outside of YouTube, and focusing on creating valuable content that resonates with your target audience. All of this can help you survive The Death Of The Follower.
