NEW: YOUTUBE LIVE - HOT NEW WAY TO PROMOTE THINGS ON YOUTUBE
I recently added a section on YouTube Live, which is the latest and greatest cool new way to reach a live audience and to promote your business and products to them.
RECENTLY IMPROVED: YOUTUBE ADS
YouTube ads are a perfect and cheap way to boost a new video or a channel. Without YouTube ads, many new YouTubers have to hire influencers or freelancers. So YouTube ads are a cheaper and more legitimate solution for getting more views.
I'll walk you through different types of YouTube ads and their pros and cons for different situations. I'll also show you how to get views for a penny per view. When you run ads for a penny per view, they are actually cheaper than that because many of your viewers go on to subscribe and watch multiple videos so you end up averaging under a penny per view and can grow your YouTube channel with YouTube ads this way.
YOUTUBE MONETIZATION LIKE A BUSINESS PRO
Many people hope to make money by publishing ads on their channels. But that is a poor monetization strategy. Not only do you have to wait a long time to become eligible for monetizing with ads, but the ads don't earn a lot.
You can expect to make an average of a few dollars per 1,000 video views.
I'll show you much stronger YouTube monetization strategies such as selling affiliate products, your services, products you can make, or selling digital products. And many other more effective monetization strategies.

Although a good amount of it was pretty basic, there were some valuable insights and with the price I got from the discount I'd say it's worth the price. My only issue has to be of most of the questions was quite basic and it honestly doesn't really effectively train what you've just learned in the section but, it's just a small nitpick that could've been improved. Other than that, I do think this course is well worth purchasing as long as the discount is added.

I learned so much from this course. Before, I was just posting videos on YouTube without any knowledge about the platform. I used to treat YouTube like Instagram, but it's a completely different platform, and my approach wasn't effective. Already, I'm seeing more views on my new videos compared to my old ones, just by following the advice in the course. Thanks, Alex.

A lot of information, but in some topics (the important ones for video uploading (pre - in- and post) the content is not deep; in the other hand, there´s a lot of focus on Ads. Considering people is not looking for a paid marketing strategy, the content would be excellent if there is more focused on video creation, Vid IQ and Tube Buddy explanation, YouTube tags and algorithm, etc.

I was a YouTuber during 2016-17 but had to give up as I had to go and work abroad and now when I started creating videos again, I thought of refreshing and updating my knowledge on YouTube by doing some course on udemy and came across this course and it was a good experience, as my purpose of taking up this course is fulfilled and thanks to the creator Alex.

As per course caption you haven't provided extra & depth knowledge about SEO & Algorithm instead you have provided more courses which are not related to caption. Content which you delivered are great but my expectation from COURSE CAPTION are not fulfilled as I do not want setup my youtube channel but want to learn more depth on SEO & algorithms.

alles piekfijn uitgelegd, hij heeft me enorm geholpen met alles. ik wist hiervoor nog niet eens wat seo was.... al de stukken waar ik blok zat en niet goed wist de puzzel op te lossen heeft hij zomaar piekfijn in details grondig uitgelegd.... ik vind het een aanrader en ik ben genteresseerd in nog bepaalde vakken waar hij specialist in is te volgen... alleen weet ik nog niet goed met wat ik best eerst start en modules beter erna.... hij heeft ervoor gezorgd dat ik gisteren op net iets meer dan 1 maand net gestart ik 100K views heb gehaalden bij de 560 subs spontaan ingeschreven, met mijn vroeger kanaal had ik dat maar na 1 jaar.... chapeau en bedankt...V.Louwage, channel..... CompleXa... op yt.
