Meet the Youtuber Making Money Helping Expats Move to Portugal (With Nick Robinson) [The Videocraft Show Episode #55]
Description
Ever wondered what it’s like to live in Portugal? Specifically in the southernmost tip of the country?
Then you probably should check out Algarve Addicts on YouTube. Since 2018, Algarve Addicts has been sharing perspectives from foreign expats on where to live and what to do around the region.
The channel is the brainchild of Nick Robinson, an expat himself who moved to Portugal more than two decades ago from South Africa. He started Algarve Addicts back in 2018 after selling a paddleboarding business he started 3 years before.
In this episode, Jon Santiago speaks with Nick about building a business out of Algarve Addicts as well as a host of other topics including:
- The services he offers to generate revenue from the channel.
- How he stuck with YouTube despite growing fewer than 100 subscribers during his first two years as a creator
- Why collaboration trumps competition in content creation and business.
And much more!
