Road to 1 million subscribers with Marina Mogilko

Marina Mogilko is known for her YouTube channel and her journey to America. She is popularly referred to as the “Silicon Valley Girl”, and is known for her discussion of topics such as business, investing, and life as an entrepreneur. With over 9 million subscribers, Marina has become a well-respected creator in the online community.

Marina has shared her top tips for success, including the importance of having strong ideas for content, replicating and iterating on successful videos, using Shorts to make sales, and taking critical comments with a grain of salt.

When it comes to ideas for content, Marina stresses that they must appeal to a large audience. She believes that studying other creators’ channels and finding popular and trending content can be a great way to get inspired, but creators should also put their own spin on the content. Marina found success with a Short that discussed the cost of giving birth at a hospital and went on to replicate and iterate the concept with different healthcare and California-related topics.

Marina also highlights the importance of using Shorts to drive revenue. She has used her Shorts to sell products such as a workbook for language learners by incorporating it into the content and promoting it at the end of the video.

While Marina has received a lot of positive feedback from her subscribers, she has also encountered critical comments. She has been advised by the creator community to read comments only during the first few hours after posting, and to avoid reading comments nonstop. Marina emphasizes that as a creator, one should focus on creating content they feel good about and that they feel is right, rather than worrying about what others may think.
