Every aspiring content creator loves tactics. Folks are desperately searching on how to go viral, build an online community, and keep people’s attention. But what if I told you that building an influence doesn’t lie in merely going viral, but by holding true to your values?

Today, I spoke with Sean Cannell, the founder of Think Media, who is one of today’s leading online video experts and the world’s most watched YouTube strategist.
