How tiny changes can make a huge difference
Tiny improvements to your YouTube videos can make a huge difference. Increasing the “click-through-rate” with a couple of percent is one example. In this post, I will break down how this works.
Start before you are ready
Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something because you didn't feel "ready"?
This mindset can really hold you back. Let me explain how.
How to get your viewers hooked
Did you know you often lose the largest chunk of your audience within the first few seconds of your video? If your opening doesn’t grab viewers immediately, they’re gone. In this blog post, I will share how you can improve your “hooks”.
How to make your YouTube titles 10x better
If you want people to click your YouTube video, your title and thumbnail is super important. Making a great video doesn’t matter if the title isn’t making your potential viewer curious to watch it.
Why more views is not better (for your YouTube channel)
Everyone wants views on their videos and more subscribers to their YouTube channel but getting more views is not always better. More views can sometimes actually hurt your channel more than it helps the channel.
In this blog post, I will share why that is the case and what you should do instead to help your channel grow.
Your best career path
Your parents are wrong. Let me explain why.
As you go through life and try to navigate different career options, it is common to seek advice or look to people ahead of you for guidance.

Why YouTube? (How one platform can change your life)
When I was a kid, I didn't have access to YouTube.
Not because my parents kept me from it - it just didn’t exist yet!
(In fact, I don’t think we even had a computer with internet until I was 12.)
In this blog post, I will share how this platform went from “nonexistent” to life-changing, in just a couple of years.
How to make great YouTube thumbnails
Creating effective YouTube thumbnails can be tricky because you're trying to communicate a lot of information in a really small space. You want to describe in words what the video is about but also show some kind of image or illustration.
In this blog post I will share some tips regarding what to think about when it comes to designing a great YouTube thumbnail.
Trending vs Evergreen - What videos should you do?
You’ve probably heard of the terms “trending” and “evergreen” videos when you study YouTube and how to grow on the platform.
But what is the difference and what type of videos should you make?
In this short blog post I’m explaining this with two practical examples from my own channel (with 5,5 million views).
Why you should change your goal
I want to help 100 000 creators.
This goal has changed over the years and in this blog post I will share why it has changed and why you might also want to change your goal.
How I uploaded weekly videos to YouTube for 3 years
If you know me, you know that I dedicate a lot of my development and growth as a content creator to my consistency and my systems. For good reasons. In this week’s blog post, I’m sharing the full story behind my 3-year streak of weekly YouTube uploads— and why it took me 4 years of trial and error to get there.
Did you know this about YouTube?
YouTube started back in 2005. The platform was very different back then and a lot has changed. Most people don't know that YouTube actually started out as a dating platform.
Yes, it’s true. But where are we now?
Move faster by slowing down
Starting your content creation journey can be exciting. You have decided on a niche/direction based on your skills and interests. You have a publishing schedule to commit to.

I changed my life in 6 months (this is how)
Often, the biggest obstacle between a person and their dream life is their mindset. Humans are curious creatures. We like to make sense of the world. We like to label things, connect the dots, fill in the gaps, and we draw conclusions based on previous experience. So when we don't have the experience or the knowledge in a certain area, the conclusion starts with words like...
How I reached 3 years of weekly uploads (and 5 million views)
3 years ago, I was struggling to create videos consistently. But last week, I hit 5 000 000 views on my YouTube channel (mostly thanks to just that: consistency).
