Influencers Have a Life Coach They Can Turn To
The New York Times
Josh Zimmerman is a life coach for creators, whose careers have become ever more consuming, uncertain and subject to scrutiny under coronavirus.

Mr. Zimmerman has, in the course of two years, become a go-to adviser for creators. Through one-on-one coaching sessions, conducted via Zoom even in the absence of a pandemic, he has helped dozens of people navigate their lives as influencers.
“What a lot of people don’t understand is that the process of making content is stressful and very lonely,” Mr. Zimmerman said.
Mr. Zimmerman is not an agent. He doesn’t help clients negotiate brand deals or take a cut of their revenue. He is not a therapist either. He is a life coach, and he’s very upfront about the difference.
“I work on anything the talent wants to work on, unless it veers into mental health,” he said. While a therapist might help an influencer diagnose mental health issues that arise from the emotional toll that comes with being in the public eye, Mr. Zimmerman develops tactical solutions, like career planning and focus techniques.Other authors -

24 Expert YouTube Tips For Success In 2016
FAQTube
We all want to grow our channels, but that is one of the biggest battles on YouTube. One of the things that we take for granted is what is right in front of us. Other YouTubers! In order to grow your channel, you need to expose it to new eyeballs and one of the most effective ways to do that is to collaborate with your fellow YTers.
Here is the best part: it is so simple to do!

One of the things that we take for granted is what is right in front of us. Other YouTubers! In order to grow your channel, you need to expose it to new eyeballs and one of the most effective ways to do that is to collaborate with your fellow YTers.
Here is the best part: it is so simple to do!
If you want to collab with someone, be it next door or halfway around the world… all you have to do is reach out! However, make sure that the person you are collabing with is in line with your brand and will not alienate your audience. Shoot them an email, a tweet, a text, and the “ask” can be as simple as them filming a cameo on their phone and sending it to you.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you should only collaborate with channels that have more subscribers than you. Collaborating with a fellow YTer who has a following, even if it smaller than yours, is still valuable. Most likely, those subscribers have not heard of you, and if you collaborate, they are more likely to check out your channel, share, subscribe, and become a fan! And it is a win-win for your collaborating partner too since your fans will check out their channel as well.
Think of it this way, it has worked pretty well for Mother Nature… She calls it cross-pollination.
Check out YouTube's Creator Academy for more tips on Collaboration.

More than 3,000 people gathered late last year at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle in anticipation of a major announcement from Boeing. They would not be disappointed.
When Boeing President and Chief Executive Officer Harry Stonecipher declared that the company's board of directors had granted Boeing Commercial Airplanes the authority to offer the Boeing 7E7 Dreamliner passenger airplane for sale—and that the jetliner would be built in Everett, Wash.—a sea of people rose and roared in approval. They cheered and clapped, and some even cried.Other authorsSee publication
