You could call 2024 the year that YouTube took over: growing 79% year-over-year, surpassing Instagram and Facebook in popularity, and becoming the second-most-visited website in the world. Most importantly for marketers, YouTube has become the world’s favorite search engine. It’s where consumers and business users go first for entertainment, education, product reviews, how-tos, and engaging content.

The power of that platform makes it essential for businesses of all sizes. That’s why 61% of B2C marketers and 48% of B2B marketers make YouTube an integral part of their marketing strategy. To achieve success on the platform, to build an audience, and to achieve your desired KPIs, you need to understand YouTube’s audience, its content types, and the algorithm that gets you in front of viewers.

Whether you’re just getting started on YouTube, looking for ways to revitalize a low-performing channel, or seeking to create a powerful strategy on the platform, this 2-module masterclass is the perfect place to start. This course is led by Adam Finer, a marketing data specialist and video creator whose YouTube channel on Business Intelligence (BI) has more than 100k subscribers. You’ll learn how to formulate a successful strategy for your YouTube content. And that, in turn, will help you to build your brand’s audience and influence.

This course will cover:

  • The mindset, focus, and steps you need to launch or revamp your channel for the best chance of success.
  • Different YouTube content types, their pros and cons, and how to choose the right mix for your goals and target audience.
  • Strategies and techniques for building your audience on and off YouTube.
  • Video production tips and tricks that help you maximize audience retention and engagement.
  • The video upload process, from export settings to thumbnails to keyword tags, and more.
  • How to improve video SEO and SERP ranking.
