WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK
I’m a person with a message to share just like you. The truth is I never planned
on writing this book about YouTube Video Marketing. I thought for sure my first
book would be about my life and how I overcame so many challenges living
with my abusive grandmother and her perverted boyfriend. I thought it might
even be about the challenges I endured when no one believed the "stories" I told
about the abuse I endured living with them even though family members, people
at church and the teachers saw the bruises on my body... I remember when I was
th
in the 5 grade my grandmother visited my school and beat me with her shoe in
front of the entire class while the teacher, Mrs. Lee, was in the classroom. My
offense? Talking too much in class. All of that talking is what now makes me
money on YouTube!
I thought my first book might be about never meeting my biological mother or
how the father I met when I was 18 behind prison walls passed away after
spending nearly 20 years of his life in prison. I thought my first book might even
be about the father of my 3 children, my first failed marriage, how I went from a
General Equivalency Diploma to earning a Master’s (with an “A” average)
before I was 30 or how I survived in a homeless shelter with my 9 month old
daughter. Well, it's not about any of those! It's about my 4 year journey on the
world’s largest video website - YouTube!
I started my journey on YouTube in 2009 and in 4 years had over 1.4 million
views, over 10,000 subscribers, multiple businesses and have made over $50,000
in sales online! That is the equivalent of speaking to a sold out concert crowd of
20,000 at the Madison Square Garden over 70 times. Imaging getting your
message in front of 1.4 million people – for free! Where else can you get your
message out and advertise to so many people for free? Anyone that is not using
YouTube in their business is missing out on thousands and thousands of dollars
and spending way too much on advertising that they could be getting for free.
This book started off as a special report that I was going to offer as an opt-in
offer on my website. After writing more than 20 pages I realized that it could be
more than a special report and contacted my friend, Kate Redwine. She has 2-#1
Amazon bestsellers and she gave me guidance that helped me turn the report into
my very first book. She even turned her training into a free 14-Day Best Seller
Kindle Course. So…my very first book is not about the life I endured, it is about
a life I now enjoy. It is YouTube Secrets Revealed and I am so excited to share
my story of how I used YouTube to make more than $50,000 in online sales so
that you can use my mistakes to your advantage and get more views, subscribers,
build traffic and learn how you can make money online.
Are you ready?
Let’s go!
WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
There is an amazing opportunity out there for you to share your message with
the world for free and you do not have to be dishonest to do it. You do not have
to buy views or pay for subscribers. With a strategy you can get more views,
add more subscribers, build traffic and make money online. I am a YouTuber
and in this book I share with you my story from beginning to end.
Many people are searching for how to make money online using YouTube when
you can make more money online leveraging YouTube and video marketing.
Unless your channel is owned by an advertiser and makes partnership, it is very
difficult to realize the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars that some
channels are making with YouTube. This doesn’t mean that you can’t make
money on YouTube, it simply means that you can use YouTube to build a
marketing funnel and grow your very own money tree with YouTube.
At the time when I wrote this book there were 48 books on Amazon specifically
about YouTube video marketing and only 4 were written by women and was co-
authored. Might sound a little discouraging if you think of the glass half empty
instead of the glass half-full. I saw an amazing opportunity to share my journey,
what I learned and show real results.
I wrote this book with the beginner in mind. Although there are strategies and
tips included, it is not written in a tactical approach or the formal step-by-step
approach many other books about YouTube offer. Instead, I chose a more
conversational, illustrative and literal approach for the everyday individual that
wants to start or grow their channel and produce results. I did make sure to
highlight big tips and summarize chapters where I believe it was necessary for
you to pay close attention and apply the strategies, tactics or tips.
There are action steps and an infograph included that you can print off to use at
the end of the book. My goal is for you to see from start to finish how taking
advantage of the mistakes I share in this book that you can use them to work for
your channel and you, too, can begin producing results on your channel.
I reversed engineered my entire journey on YouTube and went through every
year, what I learned and gave you specific ways to leverage the information to
build your YouTube channel using YouTube. I specifically point out the
mistakes that I made and how you can leverage them for your own YouTube
success. I used specific illustrations from my YouTube channel so that you
could see how my channel evolved and to better illustrate some of the points that
I make in the book.
