[@sadhanasaha1092]

I'm planning to start a KZbin channel this August

[@ZennaHarajli]

Think Media I have a channel, but was thinking about a podcast

[@ShooterKing]

I started my channel in March and i want to reach 500 in June

[@tianahordinarygirl3992]

I just started mine 🤗🤗🤗

[@BRUTHAWAR]

I often play KZbin and just listen without watching if it’s message type content. Do other people also do this?

[@yarijay29]

Yes I do that also

[@shubizaidi3591]

Yes

[@salenikola7881]

yes world is stop reading, all switching to listening

[@grimiestofthereaper4162]

Gary Vee

[@psalm91podcast]

I do as well. I love talk radio.

[@K4V3MEDIA]

Just started after 5 years of planning! Only way to get started is to get started!

[@hugotradio]

I am doing both because the audience has different learning styles. :)

[@allthingslashawnda9685]

Hold on.. Lets just acknowledge and commend the fact that we heard no noise from their background during this video! I mean it was straight silent and I saw a man with a loud ass trash bin walk by them, and a man zoomed by them on his electric wheel chair and they didn't miss a beat!! Thats a great set up!!

[@CoachKarenOliver]

All Things Lashawnda Yes the sound was very silent! Kudos to that!!!!

[@YesitisDex]

Greenscreen. They had a video a while back how they made it look so real🤓

[@kaithecreatorrr]

Watch! Green screen with their reflections in the window? 🤔

[@kellykleinman3203]

Uni directional mic

[@DustinNuttall]

Dynamic mics are great.

[@KatieSottile]

I'm focusing on youtube! I've been doing it for a little over two years now and am JUUUUUST about to hit 50k, probably within the next couple weeks! I love watching your content and learning from you. I'm married to a Pastor, so we both like your story and we love what you've done with your online career! Keep it up! We found you through your book!

[@missrelaxed3872]

Congrats! I started very recently

[@Manchessollte421]

When absorbing all these 'how to' videos for beginners a lot of the info is redundant or common sense. This interview was fantastic, gave a lot of original ideas I haven't heard before, and both of you are very well articulated and passionate about it. Love this!! Thanks for sharing.

[@DamiDimension]

*Every of think media's video is always very helpful and informative for me. I am a beginner on KZbin and I have been using tips from your videos. Thank you!*

[@jayrealliveson]

Dami.....is it possible to communicate with you for feedback?

[@BarlowJacob]

I listen to instead of watch KZbin videos all day every day. He's talking a lot about how people won't stay long if there's nothing to see and just audio but that's what KZbin is for me.

[@Key_1111]

Exactly! I listen while I do mundane tasks or while multitasking.

[@SergeLabelle]

Spot on.

[@rhondal8887]

Me too!

[@alexanderlyon]

Very helpful. Important to hear about how to monetize a podcast. I have no experience in that area yet.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Pat is a fire hose of value 💯

[@alexanderlyon]

@@ThinkMediaTV Yes, he's awesome. You're both amazing.

[@DrKarthikRamanan]

KZbin is my main focus right now, but I've probably heard close to 100 times that I should start a podcast after people hear my voice. I'll make it happen in due time! The ideas in this video for how to appropriately repurpose was fantastic.

[@hitokirihoshi]

Just in first 6 minutes Pat actually answers all the major questions in my head. Thank you for this, glad I watch this before doing something. Podcasting or Vlogging

[@DougDolphinFitness]

Definitely considering a Podcast. Pat Flynn's tutorial videos have totally inspired me!! I'll be 60 in less than 2 months but I look and feel like 40!!

[@karlamarro7494]

It is so beautiful how you in the middle of this video ask for the like button, You are very charismatic, I barely started watching your great videos...and so just realized I have so many to watch for my future youtube channel, so thank you!

[@DownrightNerdyPodcast]

Hey Sean and Pat, I know I've said this in the comments in other videos, but thank you!! Pat got us seriously motivated to start a podcast, and you got us seriously motivated to start KZbin (following the Joe Rogan style). We started back in Feb so we're very new. It is a struggle to gain followers/subscribers but we're not in it for money or anything...just having a blast doing this! All the tips in this video are extremely helpful especially for newbs like us. Probably a big takeaway from all your and Pat's videos is never stop learning and have fun before thinking of making any money. I know that if I never make a dime, I'll still consider this a win because we're having fun doing this. Okay, I'm done with my rant 😂 Keep it up, both of you! Your inspiration and motivation is addicting!!

I just started a Christian KZbin channel this year, and I'm excited for the KZbin journey.

[@jt19933]

I'm thinking of starting both a podcast and KZbin channel. My concern is that I'm cross-eyed and that may be a distraction for the KZbin channel. Should I still go that route or stick to podcasting?

[@altisharoyalevolve]

How's it going? I also want to start one. Have no idea how to start, but I do have a plan on what my topics will be about. Help 🙋

[@ktestable]

I just want you to know that on 8:55 I liked your video because you asked me to. I felt like I was receiving enough value to merit a like

[@jasonwmoxon]

I see your "Like" and raise you a "Subscribed".

[@kentvene.454]

I kind of want to start one to talk about political issues civil rights issues laws the state of society today and the impact of covid-19 and just a variety of topics. I'm good at that kind of stuff I'm good at understanding both sides of an issue and kind of helping people find common ground which is something I think that we need these days.

[@raylivaldez5564]

Hey, i know this was 9 months ago, but i just read it and i would like to tell you that i like your approach, I'm interested in seeing your point of views, so if you did the content please send the link, you seem promising 😄

This is right on time..I have a KZbin channel that I would like to grow...& I’ve been kicking around the idea and format for a podcast. Great place to come get knowledge about both.

3 years later and this video is still so very helpful! Thanks Pat and Think Media

[@DeyBwah]

Starting both, Podcast and also creating KZbin channel for our education framework for personal transformation.

[@natandersen143]

I'm planning both but right now focusing on podcast

[@Josua_Nel]

I was planning on doing both but didn't know how I should go about creating different content for both those platforms so this was an eye opener and very helpful to help me solve that. I am panning on starting both. thank you for all the value

[@davidlopez8370]

How's it going bro

[@charlie.tstn8]

you still doing it man?

I’m very new to KZbin but your videos have helped me a lot to at least try to start on the right path to supplying good content that people enjoy watching and hopefully learn a few things from me. Thanks Sean for all you do!!!

Janelle Margot mine or Sean’s? Haha If you mean mine. Thank you so much and if mean Sean’s ya he is a great teacher!

[@KhmerSelbokor]

When he mentions to "grow your team" where do you recommend to connect with professionals such as videographers, editors?

[@RJBaculo]

"Fiverr" for one-time or short-term projects and "Upwork" for ongoing work ;)

[@AlGollas]

I’m just going to focus on providing the Best Value Content to my niche and creating the best Thumbnails and Titles. Nothing good in life comes easy and my added PRAYERS are the cherry on top! Focus

I have a KZbin channel and I am going to start interview musicians, live streaming it on KZbin and then upload it as a podcast!

[@kariewilliams9667]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been struggling on which one to start. I'm 90% sure podcast is the way to go; at least to start.

You guys are great. Thinking of starting a youtube channel on bluegrass in Texas. Very excited about it. We are bluegrass musicians and know a lot of people and go to lots of festivals and gatherings. Want to share with people who may not know what we do.

[@meyersrm3586]

This interview was engaging and very helpful. I found Pat on KZbin on how to start a Podcast. I am excited about the prospects of starting a Podcast first. I would love to do both Podcast and KZbin to reach a wider audience in the near future. Great tips thank you for sharing.

very informative video, I have been currently working on growing my channel geared towards men's fashion, and have been thinking about taking the podcast route since I can talk about topics for longer, have interviews with people, etc.

Going to try to do both youtube is definitly my most time spent on.

[@joesch1955]

Just what I was looking for! Thank you - excellent Video!

[@FlashByKnight]

Thanks for the information. I looking into creating comic book content. I enjoy both podcast & KZbin videos, so I'm thinking of doing both. I think you just confirmed that having different types of content (condensed vs. long form) is the best idea.

[@meandusic]

i actually had this debate with myself before trying youtube as i am a huge fan of music and constantly updating my music palette and being in the music world but i'm not musically talented haha! i'm still trying to figure out what to do as i am not a great speaker and making conversation on a video.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Definitely want to do both. I am sticking with building my KZbin channel first.

[@LeahLynchBlog]

I want to do both but having a blog + YT + podcast doesn't allow for time to learn and grow if I am constantly creating.

[@JustinHouser]

Have you ever thought about doing your podcast but filming it at the same time? It’s getting really big right now and is great as it tackles both video and podcast at the same time?

[@psychzone494]

Justin Houser ive thought about doing it that way .. but what is the incentive for ppl to watch you on both platforms if you are providing the same material?

[@JustinHouser]

Annette Taylor it’s more for the people who don’t watch YT and prefer podcasts, or vice versa.

[@JustinHouser]

Annette Taylor think like Joe Rogan. His podcast is #1 everywhere and he has over like 2+ million KZbin subs. He videos his podcast via YT. I prefer to watch his stuff over listening to it.

[@nathanbranham7384]

I have premium and listen to podcasts through my car radio while I drive so the KZbin videos I watch don't have ads other than what the podcast puts in the episode.

As my little logo suggests, I have a podcast that I record a KZbin video for. I have to become more consistent. My channel focuses on social and political issues and that appeals to a wide but selective audience. One of my recent videos got multiple views and another one got very few.

I went podcast first and now I'm focusing HEAVILY on KZbin. But I had to make sure the podcast got traction and momentum and was solid before trying to tackle the beast that is KZbin.

[@TheBecomingMen]

How did you get your podcast "out there" enough to build that traction that helped you tackle KZbin

[@Gearyco]

@@TheBecomingMen Three things: 1. Went hard on it --- went to a 2-3 episode per week model instead of 1 episode a week. 2. Ran ad traffic to a mobile landing page for the podcast with app deep links to make it easy for people to subscribe. 3. My platform gets traffic from many different sources. I make it a point to make sure they know about the podcast and can easily sub because it's such a powerful conversion channel for me. Hope that helps.
