This course provides the proven recipe for success on YouTube. These are simple steps that require work and dedication. But like ingredients in a cake, leaving any of them out can result in a tasteless cake.
Make sure your video is clear, in-focus, well lit and, equally important, the sound is clear. And that means no wind noise in the microphone. Keep shots simple. Keep edits simple. Get to the point. Don't waffle. And lots more. I recommend our video for beginners' course which is discounted if you purchased this course.
What is the most import part of a video camera. Any video camera? The sensor? The lens? The codec? No. It's the ability it has to record good quality audio. Assuming you intend to record audio at the same time as shooting video (the alternative is not worth considering unless you are making films for broadcast on Netflix or BBC.) an external microphone input is vital. Because the quality of your audio IS MORE IMPORTANT than the video. Never forget that. Bad sound, wind noise, unclear voices and music that is inappropriate are all part of a recipe for failure. To learn more, by Video For Beginners may be a good course that will sort that out right away!
YouTube videos is not what many successful YouTubers do as their main activity. The YouTube videos they make are the marketing part of what they do to make money - and that can be selling merchandise, teaching, providing special content for super fans through crowd funding platforms such as Patreon and others.
Out of thousands of viewers, you only need a few super-fans from which to earn income. You don't need to please a lot of people to earn income. Only a few. Focus on the few!
To begin with, Adsense revenue is not and may never be a primary income generator on Youtube. There are other far more effective ways to generate income. Later on, only when your channel exceeds 100K subscribers and half-a-million views every month is the Adsense revenue worth counting. Until then, it's too low to be relied on.
Crowd Funding Options: Kickstarter, GofundMe, Patreon and Google YouTube Channel Memberships are discussed.
Patreon is one of the most powerful and versatile ways of managing and rewarding super fans.

What do you know. What can you teach. Once you have an audience that you can reach, teach them. The two platforms I am familiar with are Udemy and Kajabe. There are many others such as Skillshare.
Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to monetize your blog, especially when you don't sell products or services. Joining an affiliate program can get you exclusive access to new content and special deals for your audience -- all while earning you more money.
To further understand affiliate programs, let's consider an example — Wirecutter.com, a New York Times company, is a website that lists product recommendations for shoppers. Wirecutter largely earns commission based on affiliate relationships with retailers.
Google Adsense is part of the income generating system, but by all accounts, is the least important until viewer numbers reach considerable levels.
Thumbnails are the single most important factor in attracting new subscribers and growing an audience.
Grabbing the attention of your audience in the first 10-30 seconds is vital to keep people watching. Here is how Ive done it in the past.
In the last 20 seconds, YouTube allows end 'suggested videos' that you can place to attract viewers to stick around and watch other videos on your channel. It also permits cards to be placed throughout the video. Be careful not not to deflect viewers from what they are watching. Too many cards can do that. But one in the middle and another toward the end is a good idea. Link videos and playlists that you think might be attractive to your viewer, given that the video they are watching, is the kind of video they like.
SEO. To help search engines find your videos, write full descriptions, with links in EVERY video you publish on YouTube. Here is an example. Use this as a template.
Your videos will:
Support your subscriber base.
Attract new subscribers
Experiment with a new style of content.
Don't be scared to experiment but be sensitive to the wants and expectations of your biggest fans.

Reggie Bass. Just what I was looking for! Thank you so much! Full of mind-expanding thoughts and ideas. I found a bridge between the creative and the technical. So much useful information that I will have to repeat the course over and over to retain it all.
Arno Jones. I love his presentation style! The presentations are engaging, and unlike other courses I've taken, I'm actually paying attention throughout the entire lecture instead of finding myself drifting to unrelated topics. All of the topics make complete sense and I'm eager to put what I've learn into action. Andrew St Pierre White is now my go-to instructor for any subject I'm interested in that he teaches.
