Course Description
Whether you're looking to start a career, promote an existing company/brand, or just have lots of fun, YouTube is the place for you! However only 0.0038% of all channels created ever gain traction and become successful on the platform. So how do we increase that percentage? Well that's what I'm here for!
Who am I?
My name is Shawn and if there is anything I know in this world, it's YouTube. I'm a YouTube content creator with over 330,000 subscribers and have been on the platform managing and working with numerous channels since 2009. Luckily for me, YouTube can be a long term career option that pays extremely well if executed properly. I'm here to give you the boost needed to succeed!
Why my course?
First thing you need to know is that I'm a practitioner. I didn't gather my knowledge from someone or somewhere else. I learned it all through years and years of trial and error.
Albert Einstein said it best, "The only source of knowledge is experience."
You can only learn so much from outside sources. I'll be teaching you the insider secrets to YouTube. The information that is scarce to find online. The tips and tricks to the trade that only the dedicated practitioners know of.
Not only will I be sharing this exclusive information with you, but I'll be showing you current and lifetime analytics to prove to you that I'm not just talking the talk. This course is designed for me to be as transparent as possible with you.
Lastly, YouTube is not static as it changes all the time. Massive updates roll out every single month whether it looks like it or not. As mentioned before, I'm a practitioner, it's my job to stay up to date on every little change YouTube goes through. I will be actively updating and adding more content to this course as YouTube changes! It's important to stay with the times and take full advantage of what YouTube has to offer.
Again, if you're looking to grow your brand, GAIN MORE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS, or start a channel from square 1, you've come to the right course. From beginner to advanced, I can guarantee you'll learn tons of new knowledge! The sheer size and comprehensiveness of the course speaks for itself. You'll learn everything I've learned since 2009 with this jam-packed course. If you're someone who values your time heavily, don't worry! I explain in my course which specific lectures apply to you and your situation.

Very VERY basic for me. But I expected that. Dont take it personally.

very good speaker so far.
By Tiffany McEntire on 12/6/2020
I like it very informative.
By Milena Gacesa on 11/1/2020
This course was quite disappointing. First it was constantly freezing and there were certain lectures I couldn't watch at all and some that froze half way and I couldn't complete. The delivery was quite boring. It was just one slide and a few words with a voiceover. He gave a few hours of info and I listened to all the lectures that were not frozen but there was hardly anything that was very valuable. Most of it was just going over the features of YouTube and I strongly suspect this isn't a 2020 course because a lot of the YouTube back end doesn't look the same now. I would say there were maybe 2 useful points like running contests for subs but it didn't go into much detail. I would say I've gotten more value from actual free YouTube channels who speak on this topic. It's unfortunate I can't get a refund on this.

Thank you, Shawn. This is a very comprehensive course spiced up with lots of tips and tricks. Well done!
By Xi Wen on 10/14/2020
Lots of fluff and filler. Course could be 1-2 hours long.
By Naufal Zamir on 10/10/2020
I am disappointed to see that Shawn has only 64.7k subscriber in his Youtube channel where as he claims to have 330k subs!
