932: How I Accumulated 35,527+ Watch Time Hours Before Even Starting My YouTube Channel

Most people start a YouTube channel from scratch with zero videos, zero audience, and zero watch time, but before I even started my YouTube channel, I had accumulated over 35,000 watch hours! I wouldn’t consider myself a YouTuber, and I wasn’t posting regularly, but I had an entirely different motivation that gave me a huge leg up. I never set out to grow on YouTube. Instead, my growth was a byproduct of trying to make a difference and support the community I was building.

Today, I break down exactly what went into those watch hours, how I accumulated so many, and how my story might change your approach to launching a YouTube channel. There are so many different ways you can go about doing this, so I’m going to be fully transparent about what worked for me and give you some practical ideas you can try!
