Junaid Ahmed Home Studio Architect Host of Hacks & Hobbies podcast Father of 4 Kiddos I’ve been creating videos for the past 3 decades, on camcorders, point & shoot, DSLR, and Smartphones. In 2020, like the rest of the world, I started working from home which enabled me to bring all my knowledge around video production, setting up stages and scenes for short films into my own home studio. Within months I had my studio set up to create live streaming content, video podcasting, and showing folks how to set up their home studios from the ground up. I now help others in bringing out their amazing personalities and getting camera-ready. The hardest part of building your studio is learning how to talk in front of the camera. Building my home studio has given me an unfair advantage that you might not be thinking about. When folks see me on their screens in a zoom call they immediately feel my level of sophistication. I automatically command authority and attention from my audience. April

Do you have a YouTube channel and want serious growth? Did someone reach out to you and say they can get you X number of subscribers and Y number of Views in Z number of days? Do you know how to check your Channel analytics but don't know why a lot of things are actually there and how to take advantage of those stats? If you answer Yes to one of the three questions, this podcast episode is for you. I have been growing YouTube channels for our clients since 2020. In this journey, I saw a lot of channel owners go for the easy subscriber trap which has a lifelong bad impact on their channel and they don't know about it! If they knew how to read YouTube analytics properly, why should've instantly recognize those traps. Yes, YouTube analytics is much more than just checking your views, watchtime and subscriber count. It gives you more information such as: 1. Either a bot subscribes to your channel or a real human. 2. Why views are so high but watch time is low. 3. Where your viewers are coming from 4. What are their best interests and what kind of video you should create next. 5. Which part of your videos was the most engaging so that you can pick that and create more content on that. 6. And more. Growing your YouTube channel is more than just creating valuable content and uploading. A common example I always provide to my clients is, You have a promotional poster and you hide it in your house, who is going to see that? You need to put it out so that people can see and learn more about your offer. YouTube goes the same way, you have great value in your videos and you uploaded your video without optimizing the videos for search results. Your audience is not going to watch it and will be missing out on viewers, subscribers, watch-time and growth. In our special podcast episode. I will be talking all about it.
