Summary
Most podcasters treat YouTube as a US-only platform. Ben Olmos built DissedMedia from scratch on a fully bootstrapped budget, growing 800 to 1,000 new YouTube subscribers per video spending just $20 per post, by targeting English speakers across the globe. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Ben reveals how to grow your YouTube subscriber count using global paid promotion for under $20 a video, how the PERMA framework from positive psychology gives podcasters a practical structure for content that sustains both the creator and the audience, and why finding your podcasting tribe is what gets you through hard seasons when motivation disappears. Want a low-budget YouTube growth strategy that actually works? Start by targeting English speakers globally and making sure your content is properly tagged for discovery.
