Hi All, Are you a gamer? Do you love playing games and want to share it on YouTube? Well, this is the perfect class for you! In this one time class, we are going to help you start your gaming channel, get it up and running, and I am going to share with you my 5 Easy, but essential steps to getting your channel started right. In this class, you will: 1. Learn how to position yourself in your niche of choice (the games you play) to become the gamer people want to watch! 2. Learn how to start your YouTube gaming channel (and set it up using the right keywords and tags to build an audience - I will show you a special tool I use to make this super simple!) 3. Learn my specific checklist I used (I make sure every video has included) to make engaging gaming videos. This will help you get you subscribers and keep retention. 4. Learn how to determine the best schedule to upload videos to keep your audience engaged. 5. What makes for an eye-catching gaming, YouTube thumbnails. Your thumbnail is a determining factor on whether people click on your video, I'll show you how to use them effectively. Plus, I'll take all your questions in a Q&A period to make sure you get everything you need to get started! My Background... So you know a little bit more about me, I am an online marketer and entrepreneur who has run my own boutique marketing agency for the last 16 years. I personally have a successful and monetized YouTube channel and my young son, is also a YouTuber. He runs his own YouTube soccer show/podcast and currently has a subscriber count of 819 subscribers and growing! He also loves to game and his gaming videos are some of his most popular on his channel! If your child has ever wanted to start a gaming channel, but you feel like they need a little guidance to make sure they are: - Using YouTube safely and securely - Understand how to create great videos and have them seen - How to grow your subscriber count and more... Then this is the class you need to take! This course is part instruction where I will be providing information in lecture style as the learners listen and take notes, but I also want them to jump in and ask any questions that they might have - participation and interactivity is fun! The goal is for each learner to leave feeling comfortable about how to approach building their gaming channel and having some real and actionable steps to do that successfully! After this class, I have had my learners go on with me and join our weekly Gamers Hangout. This hangout is for kids who want to take their gaming channels to the next level and need a little more guidance as they work on their channels on a consistent basis.
