We also get practical about choosing a niche, handling copyright threats, and making sense of the new views vs engaged views reality.  • Tyler’s path from hobby creator to paid YouTube work  • creator skills that are valuable to companies beyond posting videos  • sponsorships and brand work as realistic income for smaller channels  • why brands fail on YouTube when they only post ads  • ideal viewer and value proposition as the foundation for growth  • why you should pick an audience instead of picking a niche  • the risk of “random content” and getting “random results”  • how copyright claims and strikes work in practice  • public views vs engaged views and why watch hours matter most  Make sure you leave us a comment about what niche you’re in, how you came up with it. Do you love it? Do you wish you could switch? Any of those things, we’d love to read those in the comments.  It’s the boost at vidIQ.com if you want to get your email read on here today.  If you’re all the way here, you should probably just hit subscribe.
