“After testing, we keep the best creators. Say we run ten in total. After a few months, we keep the best eight and drop the two that didn't work.”
from his answers to brands
What a software brand can copy
- Sell what the video teaches. A tutorial on a tool sells the plan that tool runs on.
- Try many channels once, then go back to the ones that bring signups.
- Give each channel a code in its own name, so every signup is counted.
32 of Hostinger's 93 channels have also run a read for an AI app; see our guide to the AI apps sponsoring tech channels. NetworkChuck's other sponsors are on our guide to the biggest tech channels.
