Hi, I'm JB with marketing 360.

We call marketing and design

And hopefully these videos will help
you fall in love with math too.
So make sure to follow us to learn tips,
tricks and strategies
to grow your business
and fuel your brand.
So the question is, do
you wanna constantly
awesomize yourself and improve yourself
and improve your career? Of course you do.
But the problem is, we only
have so much time, right.
So it's hard to dedicate
time to self improvement,
professional development and those things
that you really need to do to get better.
Well here's a strategy
that not only has works
and it's super effective,
but it literally takes no extra time.
So let's break it down.
Step number one, set up the
YouTube app on your phone.
If you've not already done this,
go into the Apple Store,
download the YouTube app
install it on your phone.
That's step number one.
Step number two, once the
YouTube app is on your phone,
I want you to go through there
and start subscribing to
different YouTube channels.
So here's the process
you wanna follow there.
Start with motivational channels.
If you look in the
YouTube description here,
I'll list off some popular ones for you
so you can use those if you want.
Add some motivational channels.
Step number two, is to add
some sales related channels.
Now you may not be in sales, I get it
but understanding sales
and the passion behind
how to communicate your message
to somebody is important.
So subscribing to a few of those I think
that's going to be really key as well.
The next step is to subscribe
to areas in your field
or industry for continual education,
cutting edge stuff, thought leadership,
those types of channels
who are the experts
in your industry and within your fields,
and what are they talking about?
What are the new things coming out,
subscribe to those channels so that
that's in your feed as well.
And then lastly, just to kind of mix it up
and add some flavor to it,
subscribe to some hobbies,
some personal interests,
things that aren't even work related.
It's just stuff that you
have passionate about,
like faith and family and friends
and maybe places to visit and food, cars,
whatever you're interested in.
Subscribe in those
various channels as well.
What this is gonna do is your
subscription inbox in YouTube
is gonna constantly populate
with new content within
those spectrum of interest.
What's also gonna happen is
your home tab within YouTube,
because the knowledge you've kind of built
into your app about what
you're interested in,
will also put out relevant
interesting content
for people that are creating content
that you aren't even subscribed to
but it's similar to what you like.
And then here's the next tip.
Let's walk through tip number three.
So tip number three once or twice a week,
when you're just kinda laying around
sitting on the couch in the evening.
Pull up your YouTube app,
click on your subscription tab,
go through there scroll
through the content
and add videos of interest to you
to your watch later queue.
This is important because
you couldn't possibly
keep up with all the videos
in your subscription inbox,
don't even try, it's gonna
be loaded with content.
So what you wanna go through there is
hand pick the ones that
are of interest to you
that you would like to learn more about,
add those to your watch it later list.
Then go to the Home tab
and do the same thing.
Scroll through the Home tab
and when you see a video of interest,
add it to your watch later queue.
This is very important
because what you're doing is
you're building a queue and a playlist
of interesting videos are
gonna help you improve
and you're gonna be able to
take this to step number four.
Step number four is the best part guys,
this is where we consume this content.
So think about time
periods during the day,
where you're doing things
that you have to do
but it doesn't need 100% of your focus.
You can be consuming
content as you're doing it.
So one great example's driving to work,
or maybe you ride your bike to work,
or maybe you take a train.
However, you're commuting
to work every day.
Or commuting anywhere,
taking the kids to school,
driving back home really doesn't matter.
When you're doing this,
this can be a perfect time
where you can stream
your watch later playlist
through your Bluetooth in your vehicle
or through your headset.
Maybe you're working out for the day
and you have time to listen to music.
Maybe you're mowing the lawn,
you have time to listen to music
but instead of music, watch
your watch later queue.
When you go to your
watch later and YouTube,
you can hit play all it will just play
one video after the next.
Here's the great thing you don't need
to even see the content.
So what you're doing is
you're just hearing it.
If they say something
that you think you need
to visually see what they're showing
maybe a demonstration, you
can always stop real quick
take a quick peek to get the visual
but typically 99% of the time,
all you need is the audio.
What this is doing is
continually pumping in a variety
of content from motivational
to thought leadership
to just getting better in your skill set
or in your field to even some
of the hobby related stuff
that you're interested in.
So there's a lot of variety
and it's not taking any extra time, right?
Because you have to drive
somewhere anyways. Right?
You have to work out anyways.
So as you're doing these things
for consuming that content,
here's an interesting stat here.
If you spend even 20 minutes a day driving
to and from work as an example,
that's 40 minutes a day of
content that you're consuming.
This is four or five hours
a week worth of content,
the typical YouTube video is probably
gonna be 10 minutes long.
So you're thinking you're
you're covering probably
20, 30 or more different
videos on various topics
every single week,
I can just promise you
you're gonna be inspired,
you're gonna be motivated
and you're gonna be constantly improving
which is the goal.
So hopefully you like this video,
hopefully it gives you an idea
and a strategy that you can implement.
Give it a shot, I think you'll realize
it's really really powerful guys,
and it takes literally no time.
If you liked the video, like it,
share it with your friends.
