VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans. Instead, VidSummit is where you become an industry insider. Without the fans at the event, influencers share the truth of what they do - the truth they would never share online. In other words, VidSummit is the only event where dozens of the top 1% of influencers show you how to get fans fast, build a brand, and make millions from your content.

YouTube Creators are making a critical mistake – thinking that 2-factor authentication is keeping their YouTube channel safe from hackers. This is NOT true. Hackers are easily able to get around passwords and 2-factor authentication which means that at any point, they are able to lock YouTubers out of their own channels. Currently, there are countless YouTube channels FOR SALE on the Dark Web and the owners of those channels are not aware that they have been hacked. In this presentation, Liron will expose how hackers are able to access protected channels, and what every YouTube Creator needs to do to secure their channel and protect their YouTube business!

The big mistake most creators make is regurgitating the same content that made them successful long after it’s relevant. This talk will focus on my five keys to viral videos on YouTube, and how to know when and if to pivot your content. In five years, I’ve made three significant pivots, and each time my views increased significantly. When I was just starting YouTube, my 12--year-old son gave me some sage advice. He said, "Dad, if you get successful on YouTube it's because you found a lane. If you leave the lane, people will stop watching. But if you stay in the lane, people will get bored and stop watching. So you have to find a way to expand your lane without leaving it." The purpose of this talk will be to show the strategy I've used to follow his advice, and the success I've had as a result. I will also discuss the five metrics I consider every time I'm planning a video: title, thumbnail, video length (AVD not APV), first minute, and a hook at the end. When I can hit these five metrics successfully, the video will almost always go viral.

Ever feel like you’re leaving thousands on the table when negotiating sponsorships & brand deals? The bad news is that…you probably are. BUT the good news is it’s surprisingly easy to convince brands to fork over more cash through “upselling.” But how the heck can you make more money without promising to do more videos? Let’s talk about it. Takeaways: * Specific pricing and package strategies creators can use to make more money on their next negotiation * Why understanding the brand’s “BATNA” (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) can help you create a proposal they can’t resist * How to be a “consultant” to brands, not just a creator so they hire you over and over again
