Avi Arya talks with others about starting a YouTube channel, publishing a book, and being transparent about your work. They share practical advice from their own experience and discuss what actually works when you're building an audience.
I told you I'm not yours anymore no, I'm not yours so why are you trying to hold on to hold on when I'm not there for you Wanna take a different la Want to play my own game and I don't need you here so won't you let me go? But take this ball and chain that you have put on me and throw it out the window I think that you should let go Let me go, go let me go I told you I'm not yours anymore no, I'm not yours so why are you trying to hold on?
Words out of my mouth I'm reinforcing it Because I want you to go fast and I want to do things and I don't want you to worry about that. And I know you are. And that makes me like you.
Right?
What is this?
This is the book I just, you know, just wrote. First draft. I wanted to show it to you. It's not ready yet. It's just first draft. I'm editing it, calling it the Accidental First Mover.
Who's publishing it?
We're speaking to a couple of know my team in India is speaking to a couple of people.
But you made this yourself?
Absolutely everything. And I know that there are 5000 hoteliers in India who the day I launch it and tell them they want. Everybody will want to, you know, to read it. So I've got my captive audience over there.
There's a million things we can do. I believe in your ability to promote right. And to business develop.
Right.
So you have my attention. Okay, I'll continue. I can answer. I'll. You know one thing that's good about me? I'll give you the answers.
Sure. I'll tell you what's right.
The score.
Of course you got to think about it. Right.
And I appreciate your transparency with me. It builds real trust.
Yeah. No, and that's. Yeah. I just was hesitant to be as transparent. To be very honest last time.
You know, I'm.
I'm.
I'm a Russian immigrant. In Russia you die with loose lips.
Right.
It's another thing that the ghetto and I get along on. So, you know, this stays here.
Sure. You had a question.
Alright.
I was wondering what would be a good age to start? YouTube. And also how do you make your YouTube channel so successful?
So two things. Every parent kid combo has a different answer to the age. There's kids that are doing YouTube channels of four. There's parents that won't let their kids go on YouTube until they're 18 and leave the house so that's a. Converse. You know, if you, you know, if I get lucky enough to go and negotiate with your mom, I'll do my best for you. But, like, that's a tough game, as, you know, as far as. If you start it and they let you do it. You've got to talk about. There's only one way to make a successful YouTube channel. You gotta talk about something you love or you're good at. You know, like, that's the only way. So if you're super into making slime right now, then do that. If you're, you know.
And dogs.
What's that?
Dogs.
You gotta talk about what you know and love. If you don't, you'll lose. If you're like, oh, everybody's into slime. I'm not, but I'm going to start channel there because that's what will work. You'll lose because slime will come and go and you never loved it, and then it won't get successful. Yeah. So whatever you love or whatever you know the most, and if you're lucky and what you know the most is what you love, then that's it.
