I'm very sastisfied with Facebook and Instagram course of Nik. But This course about Youtube is not as good as them. Content's structure hard to follow. He explain everything unclear and wordy. Not recommend
By Corinne Myall on 10/11/2020
it was a great course. Many of the topics are now readily available foe free on the internet, however there are a couple of fantastic tops that I'd never heard of or seen before I highly recommend doing this course when they have a special offer
By Kaoru Enjoji on 8/6/2020
Overall, very well-explained, easy to understand about the YouTube algorithm. During the session, I was taking a note, so I would appreciate more if you have a summary page after each sections. Thank you!!

I am a little lazy and continuously come back and forth with it. But overall I’ve implemented what they say in the videos and will see if it makes a difference

What an incredible course. I have just over 150 Subscribers, my goal is 1000. I am certain I can reach that goal much quicker with the knowledge from this course. This course has provided step by step instructions for producing a quality YouTube Channel. I look forward to seeing the results. Thank you.

This is the 5th Nik Swami course I’ve taken, and once again I’m very satisfied and have so much more knowledge and ideas that I can start putting into action.
By Dante Varnado Moore on 11/9/2018
Nik dispenses a lot of value for the money in this short and practical course! I was about to publish new videos to a stale YouTube channel that I created years ago for my business. I'm so glad that I waited and invested 2 hours in reviewing these strategies. Now I have the insight and know how to effectively update my channel and create/publish videos for best results.
By Shaun on 8/27/2018
Definitely worth the cost and you will learn a lot if you going to build a YouTube channel. I can't wait to see what's going to happen when I add this knowledge to my YouTube channel. Well done Nik you hit it out the park with this one, next is the rest of your training videos.
