Rob the Maritimer
I help people over 40 start and succeed with their own YouTube channels.
Hey there! I'm Rob from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada... a proud "Maritimer"! I make videos that help people get into Youtube and be successful with it. I help with overcoming anxiety while talking to a camera, what equipment to use (cameras, mics, lights, etc), editing your own videos, and growing your channel into either a successful business or a hobby you love!
I also host a weekly live stream where anyone can tune in for a dose of motivation, have your questions answered, and even watch as I edit videos or make thumbnails for my videos.
Thank you for stopping by, and I wish you all the success you can handle!!
Cheers :-)
- Rob.

Another "later than usual" video from me! It's a video response to a comment I received on my last video. It should be ready within the hour :-)

TWO THINGS about today's live stream (1:00 PM ET):
#1 - Monetization will be OFF (no more ads, yippee!!) - I'll be showing you last week's data/revenue to explain why...
#2 - I'll be trying out the new streaming feature, streaming in both horizontal AND vertical (Shorts) formats!
See you in a few hours!!
Rob :-)

A little late than usual, but I'm just finishing up a new video that's going live within the hour. If you’ve been struggling to grow or wondering when things will finally start to click… this one’s for you :-)

⚠️ Important: Impersonator Alert ⚠️
Hey everyone — quick heads-up. Someone has recently created a fake account pretending to be me, using the name “Rod the Maritimer” (with a similar profile photo).
They’ve been replying to comments on my videos and asking people to message them on WhatsApp.
Please know — that is NOT me.
I will never ask anyone to contact me by WhatsApp, nor do I give out personal numbers in the comments.
If you see any suspicious replies that don’t look right, please report the account and don’t engage with them.
Thanks to everyone who spotted this and let me know — and big thanks for always keeping this community safe and supportive :-)

Do you know this young lady's name?
I'm working on a new video that I'll be uploading in just a couple hours... slightly later than usual today.
It's something every Youtubers need to pay attention to. I'll be sharing a story that I think will open your eyes to what we could all be facing... and what we can do to protect ourselves.
Here’s the preliminary thumbnail (I’ll be swapping in a screenshot from this morning’s recording for my side). Stay tuned!

⚓️ Warning: Heavy "Maritime" pun usage follows...
Tomorrow: First-Ever "After Party!" 🎉 🎉
Here’s the plan:
⏰ Main Live Stream: 1:00 – 2:55 PM ET
🍹 After Party (Members-Only): 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET
We’ll wrap up the public stream, take a quick 5 minute break, then set sail for a private members-only hangout. Think of it as the Dock Party’s exciting evolution—same relaxed vibe, just a new name and a new time slot.
⚓️ Perks for Members
When you hop aboard as a channel member you also get:
• 🏅 Custom member badges that show off your time in the crew.
• 😸 Exclusive emojis you can drop in chat (yes, there’s a Peanut one).
• 💬 Access to all future After Parties whenever we host them.
🌊 Heads-up: After Parties will replace the old Wednesday bi-weekly Dock Parties. They won’t necessarily happen every week—we’ll keep it a little spontaneous to make each one special.
Already a member? Your invite is waiting on deck. Not a member yet? Click "Join" under any of my videos to climb aboard before tomorrow’s maiden voyage!
Members, set your reminder here: https://youtu.be/GAdMs0CgLAA
See you at the dock, friends—let’s make this first After Party a splash! 🚤💙
I warned you about the puns.....
Cheers!
Rob.

Make a video in the rain? Sure! There’s a couple things I want to come clean about. I’m still out recording but hope to have it ready within a couple hours.

New Video!
Ever wonder if your videos are too long or too short? 🤔 I break down what really matters for watch time and growth—so you can find the sweet spot for your videos on your channel.
When you watch videos, how long do you like them to be?
How long are YOUR videos?
Drop it in the comments—I’m curious!
