Description
In episode #2595, we talk about why optimizing for a million subscribers is not as critical as it once was. We draw from our experiences with running ads on social media platforms such as Facebook and shed light on how subscriber numbers can sometimes be deceiving. We underscore the significance of concentrating on qualified subscribers who have a higher likelihood of becoming customers. Our conversation delves into the shifting algorithms and the increasing importance of views and engagement over the sheer quantity of subscribers. In our view, the key lies in optimizing for views and creating content that resonates, rather than fixating on amassing a high number of subscribers.TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
