Course Description
I firmly believe in teaching people how to create strategy that works for them, and not only teaching some basic ideas that may or may not work. Every channel is different, every video is different so your strategy needs to be customized for your needs and what you are delivering!!!!
The YouTube algorithm is MASSIVE, and takes thousands of factors in consideration when ranking and featuring content. We show you the difference between featured videos and search and different way that you might be getting traffic. We help you understand the reasons behind WHY you should focus in certain areas more than others.
In this course we will be showing you stats from our channels, discussing what works and why. Also showing you some advanced techniques, providing tips and tweaks to help optimize your YouTube Content.
This is the latest and most advanced YouTube Course, where we help teach you to create Video Marketing Strategies and how to better work with content you have. Using your analytic's you should be able to read the data, and create data driven decisions to improve your YouTube channel.
There are many tips on the internet we discuss what works and why. We also debunk common myths for video marketing on YouTube.
The best thing about YouTube is you don't need a big budget, its easy to get started and even easy to make extra income. Creating a regular content plan, having a good video strategy and working inline with what YouTube wants will lead to success over time.
Learn to get more subscribers and most importantly viewer retention, what it is, how to use your own analytic's to improve performance. What to look for in the stats that will lead you to make better decisions and have greater success.

I already knew most of this stuff, there was no marketing. Literally was just showing how the system works. Not gonna say I learned nothing, but I mean cmon.

A great introduction on how YouTube works, and some enlightening knowledge on how to create successful content.
By Jamie Hammer on 3/18/2017
Great run-through of all the analytical tools of YouTube. But the videos is very poorly edited, unfortunately. It can get very tedious. There is some very good tips among the instructional stuff, but most of the knowledge is easily accessible on YouTube's own guidelines and help texts.

Amazing course, on YouTube marketing. Simple and to the point. No fluff. Very important information every Youtuber should know.

Very clear instruction so far. Understanding is key to my learning and this helps immensely.

This course was an informative introduction to understanding YouTube videos. One of the segments had frozen video that did not go with the soundtrack. It was a lot of information, so I may go through this course again.

This is an excellent course for beginners starting out on YouTube, but not so much for people who are already doing it. Clarity of concepts and presentation is good. But intermediate users, my find not much to take away from it.
By Soufiane none on 12/13/2015
