You're wasting time and money listening to "expert" advice about YouTube.

People are interested in what you have to say and offer, and YouTube brings you an international audience.

I've been called the "secret weapon" to some huge names in YouTube. I've sold YouTube training all around the world, and have published dozens of YouTube videos that have made me exponentially more money per view than some of the biggest names on Google's video platform. My experiences are yours with this book.

YouTube Strategies 2016 - Paul Colligan
DISCLAIMER!
I create commercial content that pays bills. I am, what many would call, an information marketer.
Often, I am the provider (and/or business owner) of the products and/or services that I recommend. Being in this business provides me with such a wonderful opportunity; it’s part of how I pay those bills.
Occasionally, I am compensated by the products and services I recommend. It is sometimes direct; it is sometimes indirect; but it is there.
If this offends you, no problem; this isn’t content for you. Return this book. We can still be friends.
At all times, I only recommend products I use – or would tell my Mom to use. You have my promise there.

About This Book
Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.
Tony Robbins
When the previous versions of YouTube Strategies went to #1 and continued to sell impressive numbers and earn great reviews, I knew this book had its place in the marketplace dialogue. To my past readers and supporters, I can’t thank you enough.
Why the update for 2016? We continue to see a rapid maturation at YouTube in areas that should be part of any YouTube strategy - at any level. Some of these elements weren’t in the previous editions. They are added in this one. As YouTube continues to mature, so should your strategies for it.
In my history of producing internet training, I’ve taken pride in creating content that lasts. YouTube changes so quickly that I find myself having to delete numerous training videos before I can ever publish them.
This book is partially a way to deal with that frustration. There are the specifics of YouTube, which need videos and screenshots - and there are the Strategies of YouTube, which I examine here. This is, in short, a book of questions and answers - the questions that you should be asking about YouTube and the real answers that will help you put together a strategy for YouTube that makes sense to you and your business. This is meant to be the reference guide you have by your side as you figure out what to do with all of the options and all of the changes as you plan your own personal YouTube Strategies.
In many cases, you don’t need one chapter to make sense of a previous one. They are as self-contained and to-the-point as possible - unless otherwise noted. Feel free to skip around.
Although every chapter has been updated in one way or another, there are a several brand new chapters that deal with the new features YouTube has brought our way in the last year. Included in the list is YouTube Cards, paid channels, sponsorship rule changes and the introduction of some new video creation tools.
I also reordered the chapters in this book to better reflect a strategic approach to YouTube. We start with making videos and then move into publishing them. From there, I offer strategies for marketing the videos and then look at a number of advanced strategies that should be considered by anyone looking to take YouTube seriously.
At the time of writing, YouTube reports seeing 300 hours of video uploaded to their site every single minute (this number is up from 100 hours just last year). I’m sure by the time this book goes to press, the number will go up again.
Also according to YouTube (as of February 2016):
1. YouTube has over a billion users — almost one-third of all people on the Internet — and every day people watch hundreds of millions of hours on YouTube and generate billions of views.
2. YouTube overall, and even YouTube on mobile alone, reaches more 18-34 and 18-49 year-olds than any cable network in the U.S.
3. The number of hours people spend watching videos (aka watch time) on YouTube is up 60% y/y, the fastest growth we've seen in 2 years.
4. The number of people watching YouTube per day is up 40% y/y since March 2014.
5. The number of users coming to YouTube who start at the YouTube homepage, similar to the way they might turn on their TV, is up more than 3x y/y.

So, with these changes, and these new strategies, I am re-releasing this book updated for 2016. At its core are the top questions I get asked about YouTube - as well as a few more that people should be asking. I am still asked these questions on a regular basis and I am still convinced that any YouTube strategy should begin with a clear understanding of how YOU need to answer these questions in your own YouTube efforts.
I also offer some additional thoughts about what’s next at YouTube and offer a few additional chapters on the topics of automated tools for YouTube marketing and video creation and how to produce the best possible looking videos - no matter what your budget may be.
This is not a Book About the Tech of YouTube!
My goal is to teach you that with YouTube, a Ready, Aim, Fire
approach is the best. I’ve seen too many people Fire
first… and the results are never good.
This is a book of YouTube Strategies - how to think about YouTube, how to understand what you are getting yourself into, and how to use the strategies to start right.
Understand what you are doing first, before you take on the technology.
This book is the Ready
and Aim
part. If you were looking for Fire,
no worries, we can still be friends - go ahead and return the book. I’ll be okay.
This is not a Book of Only my Content and Ideas
I have a number of bonus chapters in this book that bring a well-rounded examination of all things YouTube. The authors are the best of the best, and it’s an honor to have them in this book. In these pages you’ll read amazing content from the likes of Gary Leland, Mike Koenigs, Mike Stewart, Gideon Shalwick, Travis Shields and Phil Starkovich.
I couldn’t more thrilled to have their contributions in this book.
About TubeBuddy and This Book
The beauty of YouTube is that it does already what I could do for myself, but at a level and position thousands of times more powerful than what I could pull off alone. Whenever a tool makes something you’re already doing that much more powerful, you want to embrace that tool.
In past versions of this book, I’ve examine paid tools and services that help you do more with YouTube. So far, I don’t need to retract and software recommendations I’ve made but, this year, I’m consolidating the recommendations into a single service - TubeBuddy - at http://www.TubeBuddyNow.com.
Exclusive to TubeBuddyNow.com, sign up and receive a 14-day TubeBuddy Legend License absolutely FREE! ($25 value)
TubeBuddy gets this recommendation because, simply, it is the best possible tool for all of the jobs that you can take on with YouTube automation. We can toss out everything else and focus on getting the job done, with the computer helping us as much as it can - all while staying in line with the YouTube Terms and Conditions. It works as a browser plugin on many of your favorite browsers and works equally the same on Mac and Windows. You can’t ask for much more than that.
Speaking of YouTube Terms and Conditions, one of the reasons I recommend Tube Buddy so strongly is that the team behind it monitors YouTube T&Cs like a hawk to make sure that you don’t do anything that could get you into trouble. If something changes at YouTube, they can change the product, and keep you safe. How cool is that?
Is TubeBuddy necessary to do great things with YouTube? No, of course not. It’s a tool that makes some tasks easier and I can recommend no better YouTube Strategy than to make as many tasks easier as possible.
Throughout this book, I’ll mention when strategies described can be made easier with TubeBuddy. The strategies stand alone and don’t require the tool - they’re just made easier with the tool. Many of the features described are available on the Free version of the tool too!
Yes, I have a commercial relationship with TubeBuddy but I approached them about integration into this book because of how powerful it is - and not vice versa.
I Will Continue to Update the Book to Include Whatever Changes YouTube Makes this Year
