#202: Zack Honarvar – What he learned from working with 10,000 creators
1Description
Zack Honarvar started managing YouTubers like Yes Theory and Airrack BEFORE they were the massive channels you know them as today. He also co-founded CreatorNow, a learning community that’s helped creators like Jenny Hoyos and Daniel Wall blow up their channels. Zack has worked with more than 10,000 creators since 2017, so I wanted to ask him: What separates the top .1% from the rest?
In this episode, you’ll learn
- The traits of highly successful creators
- How you should measure growth
- Non-obvious pitfalls you need to avoid
- And how to set yourself up for long-term success
