How many videos ?
When you guys first started off on YouTube did you post daily or just a few times a week not to be overwhelmed?

Jazmyn, the right answer is whichever schedule you can sustain for a year without quitting. Most people who start daily burn out by week six, and a dead channel hurts you more than a slow one. I tell creators to pick the frequency they could keep up even during their worst week, because the algorithm rewards consistency over bursts. Your first 20 videos are really about finding your voice, not finding an audience, so volume helps you iterate faster but only if the quality of your thinking keeps improving. A practical middle path: post twice a week, and spend the days in between studying which of your videos held attention past the first 30 seconds. That feedback loop will teach you more than posting daily into the void. What topic could you talk about for 50 videos without getting bored? Start there. Happy to map this out for your channel specifically, want me to send over my calendar link?
Do companies need funding before they can really afford developers in the US?
Something I’ve been curious about lately. From my experience working with different software projects, development can become one of the biggest costs for a growing company. But not every business has raised money. Some companies are bootstrapped. Some are already making revenue. Others are still trying to get the product into the market. So I wonder how this works in the US. Do most companies wait until they raise investment before building a proper development team? Or are profitable small businesses comfortable investing in developers from their own revenue? Curious to hear from people actually running companies there. How do you usually think about this?

Happiness, the real question is not whether you need funding, it is whether you have a brand that makes funding and hiring easier. Here is what I see: the founders who raise pre-revenue are usually the ones investors already recognized from their content. A strong personal brand is a hiring tool and a fundraising tool before it is a marketing tool. Great developers do not join unknown companies for below-market pay. They join founders they have been watching for a year. And investors fund people they have seen think in public. So no, you do not need funding first. But you need proof of vision in public, which costs nothing and compounds into both investors and talent. Start posting your build journey now, the hiring gets easier as the audience grows. Happy to map this out for your business specifically, here's my calendar, grab a time: https://calendly.com/mattia-rahul/30min
Only three kinds of videos build a personal brand. You are probably posting the wrong mix.
Every video you post is doing one of three jobs: entertainment, education, or evidence. Entertainment earns views. The hook, the trend, the clever edit. Fun to watch, fast to forget. By dinner, nobody remembers it. Education earns saves and shares. The tutorial, the breakdown, the how-to. People bookmark it and remember the tip. They rarely remember the teacher. Evidence earns clients. The documented proof. The strong opinion you actually hold. The behind-the-scenes decision nobody asked to see. "Here is what I built this week and what it taught me." "Here is the thing everyone in my industry gets wrong." Evidence is the only category that makes a stranger trust you with their money, their project, or their referral. Wyzowl's 2026 report found 85% of people have been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a video. But notice: they bought because the video proved something, not because it entertained them. Here is the problem: most creators post 80 percent entertainment, 15 percent education, and 5 percent evidence. Then they wonder why 100k views never became a single paying customer. Views rent you an audience. Evidence builds you a reputation. You do not need to stop being entertaining. You need at least two evidence posts a week. One documented proof of your work. One real opinion. That is the whole strategy. The algorithm decides who sees your video. Your evidence decides who comes back and who pays. Count your last 10 uploads honestly. How many were evidence?

Here is Marketing & Social Media Expert?
Looking for someone skilled in marketing and social networks who knows how to grow an audience, build engagement, and turn attention into real results. If this is your field and you’re open to working together, Let's keep in touch.

Happiness, the one thing that will save you here is defining 'real results' before you talk to anyone. Follower counts and engagement are easy to fake; ask candidates to show you one account they grew and walk you through the numbers behind it: how much of the audience was retained month over month, and what the content produced in revenue or qualified leads, not just likes. Give the final two candidates a small paid test project with the same brief and compare, because interview talk and shipped work are different skills. One more filter worth adding: look for someone who can put a face and a voice to the brand, not just the logo. People follow people, and content with a real person in it compounds trust in a way that brand graphics never do. The marketer who can build you as the visible expert is worth more than the one who just runs the account.
Stop filming for viewers. Film for one ideal client.
Most creators film for an audience. That is the problem. An audience is abstract, so the content comes out generic, and generic content gets scrolled past. The creators who convert film for one specific person. One ideal client, with a name, a business, a problem they cannot sleep over. Every video answers one question: would this make THAT person trust me more? This does three things. First, your content gets specific, and specific beats viral every time. Second, your hooks get honest, because you are talking to a person, not an algorithm. Third, the right people self-select in and the wrong people self-select out, which means your DMs get quieter but warmer. Try it this week. Pick one ideal client. Film five videos just for them. Then tell me: who did you pick, and did the content get easier or harder to make?
