How I Built A Successful YouTube Channel – Russ Gries

by Jim August 26, 2015

UPDATE: Video transcript available for ‘How I Built A Successful YouTube Channel – Russ Gries’.

Finally caught up with a bloke today that I’ve known for years but I we have never met in person. I consider this guy a genius but he would probably cringe at that. In the alternate energy world this guy is known as a builder as he builds awesome stuff including his own 3d printer. Yes this is an uber geeky guy but there are some great lessons for both content creators and also brands in this interview.

Google News & SEO

Russ had his first big success when he unknowingly hit on a key phrase that a lot of people had in their Google News Alerts. These days of course it’s even more important to answer questions given the Google Hummingbird update.

Be Awesome

As we learned with the super awesome micro project, if you can be super awesome it helps. Russ’ personal site is rwgresearch.com and he was snatched up by quantumgravityresearch.org as a research scientist at a conference he was invited to speak at because of his Youtube channel. I couldn’t find the company that Russ refers to in the video about parrot drones so if you know please comment below.

I couldn’t periscope this interview as the lab location is low key. Next week NewYork.
