This week on the Over Ask Podcast, Monica Church joins Matt Lionetti and The Broke Agent to discuss how she’s grown her YouTube following to 1.5 million subscribers—an account that was making her hundreds of thousands of dollars from brand deals before she became an agent.
Then, she decided to get her real estate license and built a successful business using her YouTube expertise to grow a hyper-localized Seattle real estate channel.
Their conversation goes into the nitty gritty about how to title your videos, what equipment she uses for her YouTube videos, and how to leverage an audience to get real estate leads. Monica also shares her goals as an agent and how she got a billionaire client from YouTube.
Stay to the end to hear all the video tips and learn where Monica stands on interviewing restaurant owners.
