The Kan Do Newsletter is a free YouTube growth newsletter from Andrew Kan and Ike Do, the co-founders of The Kan Do Creators Community. It goes out twice a week and breaks down what is actually working on YouTube right now: growth tactics you can use on your next upload, platform and algorithm changes worth knowing about, creator tools the team has tested, member wins with the moves behind them, and creator economy news that affects your channel. It is built on the same KANDO Method Andrew used to grow TubeBuddy's channel from 6,000 to 530,000+ subscribers.

Both. Most issues lead with hands-on YouTube growth: the tactics, packaging, and algorithm shifts that move a channel. Then they zoom out to the wider creator economy, including platform updates, funding and acquisition news, tool launches, and the trends shaping how creators build and earn. If your work touches YouTube or the creator economy, there is something in every issue for you.

YouTube creators at any stage, from your first 100 subscribers to your next 100,000, plus the marketers, founders, agency teams, and platform partners working in and around the creator economy. Beginners get a clear framework and concrete next steps, while experienced creators and operators get the platform changes and industry signals that help them stay a step ahead.

Each issue is built around what is working on YouTube right now. Expect a growth tactic you can apply to your next upload, a plain-language breakdown of any platform or algorithm change, a creator tool the team has actually used, a member win with the exact moves behind it, and a quick read on the creator economy or an event worth your time. It all ties back to the KANDO Method, the five-step framework (Knowledge, Audience, News, Data, Optimization) Andrew used to grow TubeBuddy's channel from 6,000 to 530,000+ subscribers. You can dig deeper any time on the KDCC blog.

Most YouTube newsletters repackage public headlines. This one is written by people who have done the work. Andrew grew TubeBuddy's channel from 6,000 to 530,000+ subscribers and has helped earn 12 YouTube Play Buttons across TubeBuddy, StreamYard, and more. Ike wrote TubeBuddy's YouTube support articles, which have been read millions of times. Every tactic comes from years of operating real channels and building the tools other creators rely on.

Yes, completely free, with no credit card and no trial that quietly converts. When you subscribe you also get our YouTube SEO Checklist right away, and every issue has a one-click unsubscribe if it is ever not for you. If you later want live group coaching, channel reviews, and the member Discord, those sit in the paid KDCC tiers, but the newsletter itself stays free.

Twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday. Two focused issues, written and edited by Andrew and Ike, with nothing in between. No daily noise, no random promos, and we never sell your email to anyone.
