This class is for anyone who'd like to start a YouTube channel.

My FREE Skillshare Bonus Resources
As I mentioned in the course, I’ve now made a bunch of free resources for all of my Skillshare classes, exclusively for my Skillshare students. They’re packed with additional course-related content for every class, and will help you refresh what you’ve learnt, as well as explore some of the other classes you haven’t taken yet. Check it out here.

----------

You'll learn everything you need to get started as a YouTuber including how to script, shoot, and edit your first video.

You'll also learn how to:

Set up an awesome-looking channel
Talk confidently to the camera
Grow your audience
And finally, we'll talk about how to make YouTube fun.

All you need is a phone, camera or webcam (that can record video and audio), and a computer with some free editing software like iMovie or DaVinci Resolve. Remember, it's all about getting your first video out there, picking up momentum, and enjoying the process.

Who am I?

My name is Ali - I'm a YouTuber, entrepreneur and med school graduate working in the UK.
I started YouTube as a side-hustle at university, making videos about medicine, tech and productivity. I taught myself how to film and edit in 2017 using random videos online. Since then my channel has skyrocketed from 0 to 2.7M subscribers, and generates x50 more revenue than my old full-time job as a doctor. Starting a YouTube channel is 100% the best decision I've ever made.

My Part-Time YouTuber Academy

I also run a 6-week live cohort class called the Part-Time YouTuber Academy, where I teach people everything they need to know about building a sustainable, profitable, fun YouTube channel. We get into strategy, finances, and more advanced videography. If you've finished this class and want to know more, check it out.

You can also sign up to my Part-Time YouTuber Crash Course - a free series of 7 emails over 7 days where I share my top tips and tricks for kickstarting (or growing) your YouTube channel.
