Memorable Quotes:

"I truly believe that the #1 reason that someone should be creating content for YouTube, even if they're creating content for other platforms, is you get paid when you post...When you post something on Instagram, you're lucky if people care about it a week from now. But if you create it as a YouTube video & that video starts gaining traction 6 months from now, you still get paid on that content. So I am always asking people, have you really explored all the possible avenues for income streams for your business?"
