ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Today I talk to Jamie Rawsthorne who at 25 had grown a YouTube channel to 900,000 subscribers (The Zack & Jay Show) with his best friend Zack. They were getting paid +$300k to make videos sneaking into some of the world’s most exclusive events.
But something wasn’t right with the YouTube fast life. Jamie started feeling burnt out and one day he decided to drop everything and move to Mexico to become a YouTube consultant instead
My goal with this interview is to give you guys a realistic preview of what it’s actually like to run a YouTube channel: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We also get into some advanced strategies for getting in touch with influential people as well as what it’s like to be a YouTube consultant and tips to get started with that.
