About five years ago, I started a brand new YouTube channel from scratch in a topic that I knew nothing about. This was Pokemon. And today we are at 1.76 million subscribers. Exactly 368 days ago, I started a separate YouTube channel, primarily to do shorts as an experiment. It was a 60-day experiment.
Many of you who've been listening to the show know about this because I've been keeping you updated, but I haven't given you an update in a while. That channel has now 1.9 million subscribers and in the last 48 hours has seen 24.2 million views. Now that being said, one video has gone viral and it was my one-year anniversary video for this daily pack opening channel, opening a pack of Pokemon cards. But initially when it started it was completely separate.
I did not link to it or even show my face. So it was something that has even surpassed the other channel. And of course, my Pat Flynn, aka the entrepreneurial YouTube channel, is about to cross half a million subscribers. And so I know a few things about YouTube. Not only that, there are many, several top creators not just utilizing YouTube as well to grow their business, build their following.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (30 minutes, 6,094 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
