This Thursday, learn how to build a real YouTube community with vidIQ + Coach Nasr.

Build a real YouTube community

This Thursday, we invite you to be part of a big event. Not only will this be a Stage, but it will also be followed by a challenge.

We want you to get better at creating captivating Shorts. Alex and Vicky from the vidIQ team will review as many Shorts as possible and give each creator one specific area to improve.

That focus matters. In 3 weeks, you’ll be expected to submit a new Short showing improvement in that exact area, and you will be judged based on how well you applied that single piece of advice.

Accountability, dear creators. We don’t want to give advice into the void.

Alex and Victoria will ping those who participated in the Stage and review your progress. The top 3 creators who show the most significant improvement in their assigned focus will receive vidIQ Boost for a month and a round of applause.

So… are you up for the challenge? Are you joining us for the Discord Stage this Thursday at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET?
