Cool wish you the best and post about your project as you go through the different stages I am sure the audience here would really appreciate it from your POV

One of the cool connections I've made is with someone that has over a million subscribers to his YouTube channel that is now working with me to take my channel to the next level.Proverbs 15:22 teaches, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."

It is a very cool area!

They caught a cool YouTube video and saw everyone else was making all this money so let me join in.
