I’ve talked a few times about my desire to start building my YouTube channel but how I’ve not yet found my flow so I was super excited to chat to Joe Allam, a seasoned filmmaker and photographer, to explore the nuances and realities of growing a YouTube channel.
Joe, who is now based in Japan, shares his eclectic career background, from his start in graphic design and eventual transition into filmmaking and photography. We chat about the challenges of maintaining consistency on YouTube, the importance of thumbnails, and the misconceptions about making money on the platform.
Joe candidly discusses his near-bankruptcy experiences and offers actionable advice for budding YouTubers, emphasising the significance of persistence, creativity, and self-awareness.
The episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in building a sustainable and enjoyable YouTube career.
