Re: Nick's interview with Travis from ShopNation

Post by Matanuska »

Has anyone seen any increased Shopsmith presence on social media other than the interviews of Nick by Travis & Scott? Nick talks about targeting the wide-open younger market of 25 to 45 year olds, but it's not clear what steps he's actually taken to make that happen. I also wonder how long he and his investors will be willing to wait for a return on their investment. I truly hope he can pull it off.

Here you go...I could have sworn I first saw this segment on a WORKBENCHcon segment on Matt's (731 Woodworks) channel initially (think it was like a 1 hour long video covering the entire conference), but it looks like they cut the section with Nick and put it instead on the Shopsmith YT channel. At least that is what I remember when I first saw it on YT. Only problem is Shopsmith's YT channel has only 3k subs and Matt's YT channel has 600k subs. It won't be seen on Shopsmith's channel, but has a decent chance of reaching a good demographic audience on a channel like Matt's. These are the only 2 recent YT vids I have seen with Nick talking about Shopsmith, but perhaps more are coming.
