I'll take two pandas please.

I'm convinced you'll be better off advertising elsewhere anyway, Facebook is a big advertising platform for sure, but are your coding students there? Maybe. I think they're here and on YouTube. :-)

I'm going to be redoing my site and offerings in the coming months, and I was thinking of doing some advertising along the way. There are definitely other platforms, and YouTube is one I'll be trying, but I figured it was worth a shot. Not any more, I guess!

If I may, your training is much better than your current YouTube views would indicate. I think it you spent some time on it [1] then it should pay off as your explanations are clear and concise, and it's clear from them that you're a good trainer. Your newsletter is also good, and I've had quite a few "oh, that's why that's like that" moments from reading it.

[1] - When I say this, I don't mean thumbnails with you looking shocked in them and the title being "You won't believe how many Python people don't know this!" or similar.... I know it's a fine line to walk, but you're also better than that!!!

Thanks so much -- I know that lots of things about my YouTube channel need to change in order for me to rack up more views. I'm slowly (very slowly!) making those adjustments, but as a one-person business, all of these things take time.

I've already seen a huge increase in YouTube subscribers since I started to make some changes, and I'm hoping that things will get even better over time.

I appreciate the feedback and comments, and am delighted to hear that you're learning from my newsletters.
