The Jim Heath Channel on YouTube celebrated a major milestone today.
The channel hit the 50,000 subscriber mark, a major achievement in social media.
Message from Jim Heath:
‘I would like to take a moment and say thank you to all of the subscribers on my YouTube channel. Today, the channel has hit a milestone of 50,000 subscribers. It has come after a lot of years, but it was not me, it was all of you that watch the videos, hit the like buttons, and the share buttons. If it was not for you, I could not have achieved this milestone. Now that we’re at 50,000 subscribers, my commitment to you is more original content in the weeks and months ahead.’
Heath will soon be launching a three times a week show called Jim on History.
It will feature major and interesting historical moments with comments, along with Heath reading viewer comments.
Also scheduled to air this spring is Jim on YouTube, a show featuring new interviews, URL streams and live chat.
