In this episode, I speak with digital creator and content coach David Griffiths, who shares his journey of struggling with YouTube for over a decade before discovering the key to creating engaging content.
He discusses the importance of consistency, audience research, and strategic content creation to grow a loyal following. He also highlights the role of mentorship, the power of short-form video, and the necessity of clear calls to action in building a successful digital presence.
Finally, David emphasizes how being authentic can lead to personal success as evidenced by his 1.5 million followers.
Key Takeaways:
04:30 Everyone is a Content Creator – We are all content creators in some form; the key is to capture attention, engage our audience, and drive action.
14:50 The Power of Audience Feedback – Your audience will teach you what they want if you consistently post content and analyze engagement patterns.
21:35 The Importance of Mentorship and Coaching – Having a coach can help shortcut the learning process, saving years of trial and error.
26:10 Short-Form Video Wins – The algorithm favors short-form video, making it the best format to reach more people organically.

"Be authentic. If I had listened to the so-called experts and changed who I was, I wouldn’t have 1.5 million followers today." ~ David Griffiths
