- [Neil] Hey everyone, it's Neil Patel,
and I'm really excited today
because I'm going to teach you how to go from zero
to 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.
This is a two-week course, eight videos in total,
actually six videos in total, sorry about that,
and I'm going to end up breaking down
everything you need to know about YouTube
to start generating more traffic.
The videos aren't too long.
You'll get quite a bit of value from.
All you have to do is follow along.
If you don't know much about me, my name is Neil Patel.
I've co-founded quite a few companies.
I've a ad agency called Neil Patel Digital or NP Digital,
helped a lot of big corporations, have a lot of awards.
I have a SEO software company
and even a keyword research software company
called Ubersuggest.
Have worked with a lot of big brands over the years
and have tons of testimonials.
The reason I'm pointing all of this out is because
if you follow all of this stuff that I'm talking about,
it will work.
Now, the key with YouTube is
you have to create quality content that users want.
If you don't, you won't get the subscribers, the traffic
in the long run, and more importantly,
all those video views won't convert
into more leads or more sales.
Hence the quality of the content is super important.
Now, when you think about YouTube,
there's been quite a bit of evolution
that's happened over the years,
especially in the early years.
It was founded in February 2005,
started out as a dating website, believe it or not,
then it transformed into a free video hosting platform.
The first video ever uploaded was titled "Me at the Zoo".
Most videos uploaded were short amateur videos,
and Nike was the first major brand to post on YouTube.
Eventually you fast forward,
Google ended up acquiring YouTube for $1.65 billion.
That's a huge massive win.
And there's a lot of brands these days on YouTube,
and it's just common.
Everyone knows about it.
From WWE to GoPro, PlayStation, Nike, Red Bull,
Victoria's Secret, Chanel, the list is endless.
With even YouTube, I have my own account.
You need to create a account if you're not on there.
I have millions and millions of views in total.
Heck, I'm getting over a million views a month.
I don't even know how much watch time I'm at now,
but my subscriber count's growing and growing,
and I'm on my way to a million-plus subscribers.
Not there yet, but getting pretty close.
And if I can do this in a boring B2B space
that most people don't care about,
even though I don't find it boring and I do love marketing,
in essence, anyone can do it.
Before I really dive into YouTube
and teach you how to grow your traffic
and your following on YouTube,
I first want to break down some basic information,
as well as this quote from Larry Page.
"Basically, our goal is to organize the world's information
and make it universally accessible and useful."
And that includes video.
And YouTube has over 2 billion-plus users
each and every single month.
Hence, they've been very effective at that.
It's the second most popular social platform
after Facebook as well.
And when you think about YouTube,
90% of people say they discover new brands
or products on YouTube.
That's huge.
And people are watching videos so much
that every day, people watch 1 billion,
literally 1 billion hours of videos on YouTube
and they generate billions of views.
That's a ton of engagement and those people are captivated.
Hence they have such high traffic numbers.
Their total visitors, according to SimilarWeb,
32.84 million.
That's a big number.
Heck, even if I got a billion, I would be happy.
Heck, I would even take 100 million, right?
It's hard to build that much traffic.
Hence you want to be on YouTube,
because it allows you to tap into this whole new audience
and generate more and more sales.
Now, this course focuses on that 2 billion people
that are on YouTube,
and I'm going to show you the exact strategies,
the hacks, the steps you need to take
where you can leverage content on that platform
and go from zero to 100,000 subscribers.
If you already have more than 100,000 subscribers,
like a million,
this course probably isn't a good fit for you.
It breaks down everything you need to know
to get to that first 100,000 mark.
And you need to first understand how YouTube works
to be on your way so you can get there.
With YouTube, you got to build your marketing strategy,
create your channel, create videos of course,
then optimize the videos for SEO.
This is my favorite part.
Most people rely on the suggestion videos.
SEO can bring you very consistent traffic.
Then you need to understand their analytics,
and of course, you need to grow in the long term.
And there's all these steps
that are going to help you get that way.
And I'm going to break them down over the next two weeks
where I teach you how to go step by step
to 100,000 followers.
Now, some action items for you
before we really dive heavily into the course.
Each week, you'll have a few steps to complete,
including worksheets, downloadable assets,
and other action items.
So I want you to go to neilpatel.com/training,
where you can find all of these lessons
and handouts and all that material.
All you have to do is click on YouTube Unlocked
and you'll see all the material there.
And each video that I post is roughly 10 to 15 minutes,
sometimes a little bit less, sometimes a little bit more.
That way you can get everything you need really quickly.
It's actionable.
And the worksheets, as long as you follow them,
you should start seeing results pretty quickly.
Make sure you take your time.
There's no rush.
This course doesn't expire.
It's free, doesn't cost a dime.
Just take your time.
If you don't have the time today to do it,
you can always do it tomorrow or another day.
And for some motivation for you,
I want to share this case study from Ryan's World,
over 20 million-plus subscribers,
and this channel just so many views, it's ridiculous.
And they make millions of dollars.
Forbes estimates that their earnings are
over $26 million a year just reviewing toys.
What a fun gig.
I wish I did that.
I wish I was Ryan, but it's not too late.
You may not get there, but you can still do extremely well.
And by the end of the course,
you're going to know how to build amazing content
and you're going to be able to grow your following
to 100,000 subscribers and beyond.
As I mentioned, there's always materials
with each video lesson.
You can find them at neilpatel.com/training,
click on YouTube Unlocked, and you'll find them there.
