</ul>
Why take this class? I’ve grown my own YouTube channel to monetization (4,000 hours and 1,000 subscribers) faster than the average creator, with fewer videos and less frequent uploads. I want to show you what works and help you save time, energy, and frustration.
Who is this class for?
<ul>
<li>Aspiring YouTubers who are just starting out.</li>
<li>Creators with fewer than 1,000 subscribers looking for actionable strategies.</li>
<li>Anyone struggling to grow their channel or improve their video quality.</li>
</ul>
What you’ll need: All you need is the equipment you currently have (a camera, microphone, and tripod or stabilizer). I’ll also share recommendations to help you get the best results with what you’ve got.
This class is packed with tips, tricks, and downloadable resources to make your YouTube journey smoother and more successful. Ready to hit record? Let’s dive in and start creating!
