Awesome content and presented very well!
Honestly, I’ve been commenting on a few blogs to help get the word of mine out there, but yours is the first I subscribed to.
Hope you keep coming out with killer content!

Thanks Mark!
Really appreciate that. More content is definitely on the way. Feel free to let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to create a post about.

Hi Chris! This was perfect, thank you!!! Is there a way to direct people to, say my YouTube video after they’ve subscribed to my list? I thought there was a way to do that…
Chris L. Davis
Hey Christine! Sure…there a couple easy ways to do it.
1.) Once they click the confirmation link have it send them to a page on your site that has the YouTube video embedded on it.
2.) In the welcome link include a link for them to checkout the YouTube video of choice.
Let me know if that works for you.
