I joined the Freedom! MCN shortly after creating my channel. I was thinking that it will help me grow my channel. The truth is they never did a single thing to help me and that's why I'm in the process of unlinking with them.
What I love about my short (1 month) experience with my YouTube channel is that I made some new friends and that there are actually people who contact me, like and comment on my vidoes. It is awesome because I never thought that anyone would actually be interested in my videos. It make me work harder on my videos and I'm already considering upgrading my equipment to make my content better.
I can't say enough about THIS forum. All the friendly feedback and advice I got here was and is amazing. I never thought it can be like that (after my experience with Freedom! forums which for the most part is a spam-fest).
