How to Market Using YouTube

Marketing on YouTube is beyond the art of making and

editing videos.

It requires planning and patience and sometimes getting VERY

much outside of your comfort zone (i.e. vlogging in public) to

grow your channel and start making a real impact (and

income) with your videos.

FACTS:

I have been making videos since 2009 and have only just

recently started seeing growth, and earning money with

YouTube. That is only my story though; it doesn’t have to take

that long!

I have always loved the thrill of making videos, but now that

I’ve learned how to earn, it has inspired me to grow my

channel and focus heavily on videos and video marketing.

This takes initiative and creativity.

These are the lessons I share with you today.
