From algorithm myths to audience habits, Rene shares insider tips on how creators can build communities, master Shorts and long-form content, and use new tools like Effect Maker, auto-dubbing, and YouTube Shopping to level up.

They also dive into storytelling, consistency, and the habits that separate good creators from great ones. Whether you’re a YouTuber, creative entrepreneur, or just curious about the creator economy—this one’s packed with value.
