In today’s episode, I talk about the elephant in the room and something a lot of YouTube “Educators” are afraid to discuss. We are discussing hiring a YouTube coach, signing up, and paying hefty fees for a YouTube “Cohort” or “Mastermind” group. This topic is only taboo because, as educators, we offer these services. I’m here this week to shine some light on this topic and tell you when I believe you are in “Need” of professional services and the common mistakes creators make when hiring professional help for their YouTube channels and creative endeavors.
