        If you’re just starting with YouTube I highly recommend this book. It’s a fairly quick read that is jam packed with sound advice and tips, plus many references outside of the text. You will want to read this book many times - it’s that helpful.

        Very comprehensive overview of what is required to succeed as a YouTube influencer. Several times the authors emphasize that the process is a marathon, not a sprint.
        The book covers both the mindset and the processes required for success. It's a required read for all beginners - or unsuccessful channels.
        But the book is only the beginning. Many more hours of study and implementation will be required. ThinkMedia has hours of free video content plus paid courses.

        Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
        Verified Purchase
        Overall YouTube Secrets was a good read, however I found this book to be somewhat a promotional item for the authors. It continues to reference their YouTube channel vs utilizing more outside sources. This book is more about how great the authors are and their experience versus techniques that a wider audience could utilize.

        Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
        Verified Purchase
        If you're thinking of starting a YouTube channel or have already started but haven't seen the growth you were hoping for, "YouTube Secrets" by Benji Travis and Sean Cannell is a must-read. As two people who have conquered more than one niche on the platform with their channels BenjiManTV and Think Media, they share their wealth of knowledge in a well-structured and well-written book.

        What I appreciate most about this book is that it's accessible to everyone, especially those who can't afford online coaching. It's a comprehensive guide to success on YouTube, covering everything from content creation to audience engagement to monetization strategies.

        But what really sets "YouTube Secrets" apart is the authors' enthusiasm and dedication to helping others achieve their goals. They not only provide practical advice, but also inspire readers with their own success stories and their belief that anyone can succeed on YouTube with hard work and dedication.

        Overall, I highly recommend "YouTube Secrets" to anyone who wants to unlock the potential of this powerful social media platform and take their channel to the next level. It's a positive and empowering read that will leave you feeling motivated and inspired to start creating!
