YouTube Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Following and Making Money as a Video Influencer Paperback – 16 Aug. 2018

The book was concise and straight to the point. The book provides a great framework to start a great channel.

Everything I thought I was going to do with my YouTube I now won't be doing. This book has given me cleat actionable steps for me to get started. And watching it alongside videos online has really helped. It's shifted my focus from just a platform we're you post videos to a business

A good book to get you understanding the YouTube system and get you started

The authors gave some highly valuable tips about making a career out of video blogging. Everyone who wants to go into video blogging should read this book.

I liked this book a lot. It has a lot of info about growing a you tube channel and it was easy to read. It has great advice from people that have successfully grown channels on you tube. It's a fantastic book. Buy it.

For the asking price this is a quick read (180 small pages, large print) that covers the basics of YouTube that the authors have repeated and expanded on over the last few years on numerous YouTube and LinkedIn videos. They’re engaging and have the gift of the gab, but the reality is that most of it is common sense and there’s little other than the tired repetition of the basics here ie- be passionate- work hard- it’s a marathon not a sprintI’m still looking for the secrets promised in the title. There is a lot of padding and, quite frankly, the boast given in online videos such as that with Gary Vanderchuk that it contains the results of interviews with a hundred successful entrepreneurs/influencers or that the authors spent four years writing it are total bull. Anyone with good YouTube channel experience could have written this inside a week.Truth is the authors have been selling the same info over and over again in video after video for several years now and there’s nothing new here. The formula for making money through selling education is well-known by now - give away 90% of your info for free in the hope of selling your online video courses promising even more (in truth giving very little more) for hundreds of dollars. That’s essentially what this book is about. It’s a model that’s worked time and time again for many businesses and is great for the savvy consumers who can get the good stuff pretty much for free without handing over the hundreds of dollars that effectively pay for all the work put into the free stuff (and this book) Just to get a bit more. This book is just the latest example of a loss leader designed to lure you in with promises of giving up your day job, earning a fortune etc if you just sign up with a few hundred dollars and work hard.I can’t knock it, especially when the presenters/authors are so engaging and work so hard to keep recycling the same basic information in such an engaging manner. But there’s little of real value here if you’ve watched more than a few basic videos on YouTube. The advantage is you’re getting it in one place in written form.Warning to UK purchasers. The book is so thin it has to keep referring to online free videos on YouTube to pad the “free stuff” out. Most of these videos, hosted on a web site for the book but simply embedded from YouTube, promise access to templates and other videos if you enter your email address and Amazon order number for the book, BUT the system only accepts amazon.com order numbers and Amazon UK order numbers will just stick you in a loop of “I don’t recognise that” errors and you will not have access.

YouTube is a social media platform that most people don't understand in terms of it's potential. This book is for someone who is thinking of starting their own YouTube Channel, or someone who has already started but hasn't seen the growth they hoped for.It's well structured and well written by two people who have conquered more than one niche on the platform; Benji Travis with BenjiManTV and Sean Cannell with Think Media. They have interviewed over 100 successful YouTubers over the last 3 years on their Video Influencers channel, and have helped countless people (including myself) see results with their free content. It's fair to say these guys know YouTube and how to get the best from the platform as a creator.Will your channel be a success after reading this book? Well, that all depends on your level of commitment.You can either find your own way and learn as you go, or give yourself a head start by taking the time to read this book. I enjoyed this book and only wish it had been available 3 years ago!

This has been a great in helping start my youtube journey would absolutely recommend!

If you’re just starting with YouTube I highly recommend this book. It’s a fairly quick read that is jam packed with sound advice and tips, plus many references outside of the text. You will want to read this book many times - it’s that helpful.

This book summarizes all the important components and strategies to be successful on YouTube. Highly recommended.

La verdad es que la trayectoria en YouTube de Sean Cannell y ThinkMedia son suficientes argumentos para recomendar este libro. Pero si alguien necesita un poco más para decidirse a comprarlo, les puedo decir que es una forma muy cómoda de tener un buen material de consulta bien estructurado para hacer de la creación de contenidos en YouTube un negocio rentable.

This book make me clearly about youtube creator. It isso important be focused . Congratulations for this great book. I hope apply the technichs

Amazing book for anyone trying to create a new YT channel out there. It doesn't go too deep on content specifics, but it'll help you build the foundations you need to be successful on YouTube.
