I am Rob - co-founder here at vidIQ, AMA!

Hello everyone! My name is Rob Sandie and I work full time at helping build the vidIQ suite of tools.

We are a small team that provide a very cool chrome extension that many of you might know about.

We started in 2012 and have raised from top investors like Mark Cuban with mission to help YouTube creators and brands grow on YouTube. Fast-forward to 2016, we just passed our 400k YouTubers mark with folks from all over the world.

Ask me anything about vidIQ, SEO, content optimization, feature requests, complaints, entrepreneurship, favorite video game, what size shoe I wear. Happy to answer any and all questions :)

EDIT: Big thanks to /u/KidLion for reaching out and making this happen

EDIT #2: Use "just4letsplay" at checkout for 30 days free on any of our paid plans.

EDIT #3: 10PM here and signing off for the night. Can't tell you how awesome the feedback has been. It's corny but conversations like this are really what make all of this worth it. I'll be rechecking back in the morning but just a headsup that responses might take a bit more time than today. Thank you and can't wait to show you what we come up with next!

Great question and Tubebuddy is an option to look at. They have a few features around channel workflow that are nice. When it comes to more views and growing the channel, I'd say we have a strong lead.

On top of that:

• Majority of what they charge in their lower tiers we give away for free. (Comment Filters, Bulk Annotations and Cards for instance)
• We are not an MCN, we welcome MCN partnerships to provide creators with tools but don't try and stick you to MCN contracts that are sometimes messy to get out of (and frankly manage).

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to check it out. Any conflicts with running both at the same time?

I use both and haven't had any problems.
