Yesterday I told you about my Youtube woes. I suppose I could have reacted in several ways:

I could have said - “Right I quit!”

I could have said - “I just won’t use Youtube again”

I could have reached out for help.

I did the latter and got in touch with a brilliant guy I know called Christian - a Swedish marketer, who is a DEA Black member and bona fide Google/Youtube expert. He jokes that he spends more time on the phone with Google than he does with his family. 

He gave me some great advice which will really help me when I launch a new channel- so great to have people like this to turn to as an SFM and DEA affiliate. 

He also coined the phrase - “Sometimes life hits you with bricks !” 

Must be the Swedish version of “When life hands you lemons” 

Anyway when it does it’s great to be part of a community that includes serious experts on every part of our industry.

So instead of just having yourself a big old pity party you can get some practical help, sort it out and move on. 

As I said I’m hugely in favour of the big advertisers like Youtube doing all they can to clean up the internet - even when sometimes that hurts people like me who are just making an honest living promoting honest, valuable goods and services. 

This has just made me even more grateful to be one of the good guys and to be part of the SFM and DEA community. 

I definitely would not consider trying to start an online business or do any form of online marketing without them these days. 

So if you ARE looking to get started in what really is a wonderful industry you should seriously think about applying for membership.

Have a great weekend.
