When we talk about succeeding on YouTube, we often talk about going viral, getting a ton of subscribers, or collabing with big channels. And these things are important, but they are not what makes a sustainable business on YouTube. In fact, sometimes, they can even work against you if what you want is to be a true entrepreneur who makes a real living with their YouTube channel. And even some of the biggest channels you know have no clue how the business side of things actually works, or how to properly advocate for themselves.

In this 4-part course, taught by TFD CEO Chelsea, Fagan, she shares the holistic approach we've used here at TFD to build a business on YouTube that is financially sustainable, ethical, and helps you avoid being just another trend that disappears when the conversation changes.

If you have your own channel or run one, and are looking to build it into something that lasts and can support your (and others') salaries, this is the perfect class for you.
