Rob the Maritimer - Invidious

Rob the Maritimer

I help people start, grow and succeed with their own YouTube channels.

Hi — I’m Rob from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada… a proud Maritimer.

I started YouTube in my early 50s, not knowing where it would lead. Today it has grown into a thriving community and business, and I share everything I’ve learned (and am learning) so others can do the same.

On this channel you’ll learn how to start a YouTube channel, grow your audience, gain confidence on camera, create simple videos that people want to watch, and understand how creators actually make money on YouTube.

I also share my own journey as a creator — including what’s working, what’s not, and how I’m building a YouTube business along the way.

I host a weekly live stream where we talk YouTube, answer questions, and help each other grow.

Thanks for stopping by — it’s great to have you here :-)

— Rob
