The KANDO Method

Most YouTube channels stall without a system.

Knowledge

Know your topic well enough to teach it before you hit record.

Audience

Know who this video is for and what you are helping them with.

New(s)

Find your angle and stay aware of YouTube algorithm and feature changes.

Data

Use the Trends tab and your analytics to inform your next video.

Optimization

Build your title, thumbnail, and full packaging before you record.

Growing on YouTube is hard. The effort you're putting in is real, and the frustration when it doesn't work is just as real.

Most channels that stall aren't lacking consistency or talent. They're working without a framework. The KANDO Method is the five-step YouTube growth framework Andrew Kan used to grow TubeBuddy's YouTube channel from 6,000 to over 530,000+ subscribers. He used the same framework on YouTube strategy work for Fox Sports, BBC, Paramount, and Family Feud during his time at TubeBuddy.

Andrew applied the KANDO Method to an older video that had stopped growing. The click-through rate went from 4.3% to 7.1%, a 65% jump, and the video got 42% more views without any new filming or editing. The framework works because each step forces one clear decision instead of guessing what to do next.

Use the KANDO Method before you film your next YouTube video, or run it on an older video that stopped growing. The framework helps at every stage of YouTube Growth, from your first YouTube Upload to your next 1,000 YouTube Subscribers. Watch What YOU Kan Do!

"I didn't grow TubeBuddy's YouTube Channel to 530,000+ subscribers by working harder. I got there by building a system I could use on every single YouTube video."

Larry of Home Rapid Repair, YouTube creator and KDCC member
"Andrew with KDCC has given me many ideas to improve my videos performance. Such as reminding me a certain thumbnail text was unreadable. I had white text on a white background. … with each new idea I learn a new lesson and see the growth in video performance and overall channel income."
Home Rapid Repair YouTube creator · KDCC member
KennethRacing, YouTube creator and KDCC member
"When I joined KDCC about five months ago I had around 60 subscribers. My channel has since grown to 340 subscribers and over 62,000 total views, and my biggest livestream reached over 1.2K viewers … KDCC taught me how much presentation matters on YouTube, from thumbnails and titles to branding and consistency."

"The KDCC is a place where I can talk with like-minded creators and get honest feedback that has allowed me to plan my channels directions better but also fight my imposter syndrome to keep making videos that matter to me and my audience."

HomeKeeping Channel, YouTube creator and KDCC member
"What really made a difference after joining KDCC is the Discord group. It's a place where I can ask a question and get a response very quickly from Andrew, Ike, and other group members."
HomeKeeping Channel YouTube creator · KDCC member
"When I joined KDCC I was at around 10 subscribers … I am now at 303 subscribers on my drawing channel and around 100,000 views … [I] improved my thumbnail style, spiking my CTR from the 2.3% I used to get to 6-10% on my recent uploads. Of course it was my individual research also, but the tips I got from other creators and the YouTube thumbnail reviews made the difference."
Argent YouTube creator · KDCC member
James Nelson, YouTube creator and KDCC member
"Andrew Kan and Ike Do have really gave me the confidence to get my YouTube channel started. I was worried because I have Parkinson's, and I have bad tremors, and the speech problem, but they gave me the confidence to get started, and to keep going, and for that, I would like to thank them."

Need to know

What creators ask before joining the Kan Do Creators Community.

What's free, what's paid, the 7 day trial, how much time it takes, what members have seen change, and who Andrew Kan and Ike Do are. The full FAQ has every detail.

What is the Kan Do Creators Community (KDCC)?

The Kan Do Creators Community (KDCC) is a YouTube creator education community and group coaching membership co-founded by Andrew Kan and Ike Do, both former TubeBuddy operators. The free tier gives you the KANDO Method growth framework, the Kan Do Newsletter, and a Discord with 2,500+ YouTube creators. KDCC Membership adds live group coaching calls, SEO and channel reviews on videos you submit, and a private member Discord where every question is answered within 48 hours.

What do I get for free, and what do I pay for?

Free gets you the KANDO Method framework, the YouTube SEO Checklist, the Channel Setup Guide, the Kan Do Newsletter, and the public KDCC Discord with 2,500+ creators. No card required, and it never expires. KDCC Membership adds the parts that involve our time: 48 live group coaching calls a year, a monthly SEO or channel review on a video you submit, the private member Discord, and a replay library of 40+ past sessions. It is $99.99 a month or $995.90 a year, and it is capped at 75 members. See what's included.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. KDCC Membership starts with a 7 day free trial, and you are not billed until it ends. From the moment you join you get the 40+ session replay library and the private member Discord, so there is no waiting for a scheduled call to get something out of it. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing. After the trial, your membership renews automatically until you cancel. The free tier is separate, never expires, and needs no card at all.

Do you help brand new or very small YouTube channels?

Yes. KDCC members range from brand new channels to over 50,000 subscribers, and some join before uploading their first video. The Channel Setup Guide and the KANDO Method are built for exactly that stage, so you are following a system rather than guessing. One member joined at around 10 subscribers and is now at 303 with around 100,000 views.

How much time does the KDCC take each week?

The only scheduled commitment is the group coaching calls, about 4 a month. Everything else runs on your schedule. Every call is recorded into the replay library, so missing one costs you nothing, and you can post a thumbnail or title question in the private member Discord at any hour and get an answer within 48 hours. Members who only have an hour a week tend to spend it on the replays and the Discord.

What results do KDCC members get?

That depends on your channel and how much of the feedback you actually apply. Results vary, and we do not promise views, subscribers, or income. What members have told us: one went from 60 to 340 subscribers and over 62,000 views in five months, with a livestream that reached 1.2K viewers. Another went from 10 to 303 subscribers and lifted click-through rate from 2.3% to between 6% and 10%, which he credits to his own research plus thumbnail reviews and tips from other creators. A channel with over 50,000 subscribers credits our ideas with improving both video performance and overall channel income.

How is the KDCC different from a YouTube course?

A course teaches theory once and then stops updating. The KDCC looks at your actual channel, thumbnails, and titles against what YouTube is rewarding right now, on live calls with Andrew Kan and the KDCC team, alongside a Discord of 2,500+ creators who are publishing this week. You upload, you get real feedback, you upload again. There is no start date and no finish line.

What is the KANDO Method?

The KANDO Method is the five-step YouTube growth framework Andrew Kan used to grow TubeBuddy's channel from 6,000 to 530,000+ subscribers. Knowledge means knowing your topic well enough to teach it. Audience means knowing who the video is for. News means finding your angle and tracking what YouTube has changed. Data means using the Trends tab and your own analytics. Optimization means building the title, thumbnail, and packaging before you film. It is free to learn and it underpins every KDCC coaching call and review.

Ike also writes regularly on the KDCC blog about audience growth and community building. Read more about Ike on the KDCC team page.

What is the difference between KDCC membership and 1:1 YouTube consulting?

KDCC Membership is group coaching with Andrew Kan, Ike Do, and the KDCC team, at $99.99 a month or $995.90 a year, for creators who want ongoing community and live coaching alongside other YouTubers. 1:1 YouTube consulting is private strategy work with Andrew Kan, starting at $199.99 for a 90-minute Strategy Session, with Channel Audits at $999.99 and Monthly Advisory at $2,499.99 per month for brands and teams that need dedicated attention. See consulting services.

Can I cancel my KDCC membership anytime?

Yes. KDCC Membership is billed monthly or yearly, and you can cancel anytime from the Billing page in your account. There is no cancellation fee, and your access continues through the end of the time you have paid for. Cancel during the 7 day free trial and you are never billed at all.
