YouTube Channels for Dummies

I was just beginning to establish my own YouTube channel - so I had many questions. This book will answer many, and take you step-by-step. Worth your time !

Excellent explanations on how to go about setting up a YouTube Channel. And as clients of mine (and myself) ask how we might use YouTube to place videos, this book offers some clarity around the distinction between being a YouTube creator and a YouTube advertiser. I can more clearly state that my clients should be focusing on advertising and seeking out 'channels' that their target viewers may be watching instead of spending too much time placing videos (although there is a place for that - building authority, giving viewers a reason to stay in touch and subscribe and so on. As a video production professional more than a marketing manager, it is already helping me to understand some better ways to explain to my traditional TV clients how we might migrate to online - and YouTube specifically - in a way that is successful.

I liked how it went into detail in every subject to start YouTube. The only thing is that there wasnt much info on planning your videos. Which is why i got it in the first place. But other information was good.

This book is VERY USEFUL. It has helped me and has answered all my questions that I had to start a channel

This is a much better version book of "YouTube for Dummies" it was penned by different Author's and I chose to purchase a used paperback because of an experience I had with a different seller. Book was in great condition and the information was still up to date and very much usable at this date and time. Very helpful. I'm satisfied.

(Writing this review is based on my 12 year old's feedback) He is trying to get through this but claims it is starting off pretty slow and it not peeking his interest. He has already skipped ahead several chapters to try to get useful info on the topic. Most of thes books (I thought) build on the info as you start, but this one seems (to him) to be spotty. He is an avid reader that reads on a 12 grade level, so it isn't that he cannot understand.

I spent my career producing documentaries, commercials, and PSAs. I still shoot wildlife, scenics, and instructional videos. Looking for an efficient way to distribute them, a friend suggested I obtain a YouTube channel. Although familiar with YouTube, I was completely ignorant about the process of developing a channel. This book makes the process simple. Also includes suggestions about how to produce effective videos--eliminating what I describe as "Magic Wand Films". That is, waving the camera around hoping to shotgun to include everything in the scene but doing nothing more than giving viewers vertigo.

YouTube is such a big event these days, must know how to post and use. Google must own a country somewhere to store all the videos..u

Good information provided, useful.thank you.

If you're serious about starting a YouTube channel this is a great place to start. It won't teach you a ton about the filming, instead it focuses on the business end of the process. I've found it invaluable.

Powerful book
