Ever thought about starting a YouTube channel? If so, listen up today.

YouTube channels are great ways to build communities, build your audience, sell more of your products, reach more of your ideal customers, and share your expertise on an ever-expanding, highly shareable platform.

Today’s guest has a tarot, astrology, and lifestyle channel called Minnow Pond. I discovered Chris Reck as I became part of his community…and watching his Tarot readings every single month.

And of course…I got curious.

So I started digging. How did this whole Minnowpond thing start? What else was Chris doing in the world? How do tarot readers make money with Youtube as their primary publishing platform?
