Lashawnda is absolutely amazing at YouTube! Thanks to her, I've gotten back into creating content on my channel. She's incredibly supportive and really knows how to help you grow your YouTube business. She was always cheering me on, sending encouraging messages to my inbox, and guess what? I hit 1000 subscribers on my YouTube channel!
Sharlrita Russell Deloatch
Content Strategist and Ebook Series Book Writer
My coaching session with Lashawnda to jumpstart my stagnant YouTube channel is one to be boasted about. She was extremely thorough and helped me to identify multiple topics that I could talk about when I felt like I didn't have any. My first two months of consistency, following step by step of what she instructed, within 2 months, I gained an additional 85 new subscribers and have amassed over 50,000 views. So, yes. I Stand On Bidness and highly recommend working with Lashawnda Smith! Grade A+ service!
Twana Coleman
Health and Wellness Business Owner
I reached out to Lashawnda because I’ve witnessed how she has made great strides in growing her YouTube channel and wanted her expertise to help me revamp and relaunch mine. Our strategy session was very detailed. She audited my current channel, and gave me tips on how to clean it up, create thumbnails, research topics, and how to structure my videos going forth. Even after our session she gave me feedback on the changes I made and my first videos. She is a joy to work with, her energy is infectious and you can tell she is invested in your success. I also purchased a YouTube Content planner and it is really helping me plan ahead and truly strategize as previously I had no plan for YouTube, my confidence has increased and I’m excited to see the growth of my channel and how it impacts my business goals.
