Feedbackwrench Minneapolis Web Designer Skyrockets On Youtube

Feedbackwrench, a Minneapolis Web Design Agency based in Lakeville, is making waves on Youtube.

After having the same conversation with business clients about the tax difference between an LLC and an S-Corp, Feedbackwrench owner and founder Rob Satrom, created a tutorial video on Youtube that tried to clearly describe the tax difference between a Sole Proprietorship and an S-Corporation.

He posted that video back in March of 2014, and that video sat unseen for nearly a year, and Rob simply forgot about it.

Then one morning, he woke up and his Youtube app had hundreds of red notifications on it, because out of nowhere, the S-Corp vs. LLC video had gone somewhat viral.

Since then, Feedbackwrench has invested heavily into business content onto Youtube, which has catapulted their small Minneapolis web design firm ahead, helping them become a contender in the Minneapolis Local Web Design market, and nationally.

The success from the first S-Corp Video caused Satrom to view Youtube differently, and since then he's helped hundreds of small businesses deploy an "inbound marketing" approach, that includes youtube content creation.

The secret to the success? Creating helpful, clear and easy to consume content on subjects, questions and queries that prospective clients might have.

Feedbackwrench had a second breakout topic on their Youtube Channel, all about how to start an accounting firm or start a bookkeeping business.

While experimenting with video content, Rob decided to record in the car and just tell stories. He posted a video that taught about his first business' success, and the same pattern occurred.

Rob posted this video about his accounting firm, and after a year, it took off.

As of December 19, 2022, this video teaching accountants how to start their own business has over 113,000 views, and an average watch time of over 7 minutes.

This video has caused Satrom to invest heavily into coaching accountants how to start their own firm and sell value.

Feedbackwrench posted the first accountant video and it sat stagnant and uv-niewed for a while, then after a couple of months the "how to start an accounting firm" story started to get served up in the Youtube Algorithms.

The success of each of these videos is because they retain users throughout the video, and that's because of Rob's ability to communicate clearly around a subject that's somewhat complex and has users perplexed.

People stay glued to Feedbackwrench's videos.

Check out the average retention of the following videos:

The original S-Corp Video has an average watch time of five minutes and

S-Corp Video Retention: 5:13 (five minutes, 13 seconds.

But the coolest part is that over 50% of those who started the eight minute video, are still engaged at the seven minute mark.

In fact, a quick glance at the engagement of the top videos, you'll see this business content holds attention for a really long time. Check out the videos in this graphic.

For a simple diagram, this is really strong engagement!

It’s rare to see Minnesota small businesses see huge success on Youtube in the small business category, but Feedbackwrench Web Design and Marketing has been using it to connect with their core small business clients, Contractors, Remodelers & Accounting Firms.

Minneapolis Small Business Web Designer Becomes a Youtuber

Need a web designer in Minneapolis, or better yet, are you a Lakeville South metro business owner looking for a Web Design agency that can help your business grow online? Well, take note of Feedbackwrench Web Design and Marketing, and you can really get to know them by checking out the success they’ve had on Youtube.

Feedbackwrench has been generating significant success because owner and founder, Rob Satrom, has invested heavily into creating helpful content on Youtube for the company’s primary niches, Construction companies and Accounting Firms.

See Feedbackwrench's Youtube Channel Here.

As of December of 2022, Feedbackwrench Web Design & Marketing has generated over 2,800,000 views on their youtube channel, and over 26,000 subscribers. While that might not seem significant compared to the much higher numbers seen by major Youtubers, Feedbackwrench’s content is nearly all small business, accounting, tax and marketing focused.

Feedbackwrench’s success is notable, because their channel is dedicated to guiding small businesses through an educational and coaching perspective, which isn’t exactly the sensational and riveting type of content that viral sensations utilize.

If you check out some of their videos, you’ll see that their cornerstone SEO & Video content has been around unlocking the potential of small businesses by helping them lower their taxes, improve their sales abilities, start and grow a small business, and take a methodical approach to marketing.

Feedbackwrench has also found some success because they’ve been teaching accountants, CPA Firms, Bookkeepers and Tax Professionals to sell value rather than transactional services.

Feedbackwrench encourages accounting firms to position themselves as “outsourced accountants'', rather than a one-and-done service. In this outsourced accounting service, the CPA or Accounting firm will take on a businesses accounting, bookkeeping, tax returns and tax reduction planning throughout the year, taking on the challenge of lowering their taxes, improving productivity and helping them stay clear of mistakes that lead to IRS audits & legal problems.

This “outsourced accounting” approach allows accountants to charge significantly higher retaining fees than a traditional accounting firm billing model, but it also yields better results for their clients.

When a business has an accountant working alongside them throughout the year, they can deploy pro-active and aggressive tax reduction planning strategies that help them build a more profitable and scalable small business.

Satrom has invested heavily into content creation on Youtube, which he touts as superior to any other marketing channels because it’s an in-bound marketing platform, where people come to you when they need a solution to a problem. When you're working with a Minneapolis SEO Company, it's really wise to make sure that they recommend investing into Youtube as part of the SEM (search engine marketing) approach.

Feedbackwrench does websites and marketing for remodeling contractors, websites and marketing for landscaping contractors, websites for accounting firms, and just about any other small business with their website design, PPC advertising, copywriting, video production and search engine optimization.
