33. I’m used to a bulge in my pocket

Alex and me go through the weeds this time round. We Chat over the current YouTube love affair with Samsung, why Alex has switched and David hasn’t!  Then, we go deep in to the business of YouTube. If you are setting up a channel, or interested in the metrics of running a channel, then this one is for you. We chat over the art of intros, CTR, retention, and the importance of timing too. Is there such a thing as a perfect length of video? What’s AdSense all about? Also, we chat about the future of podcasts on YouTube. This one will take some unpacking - real gold!
