He offers in-depth, practical, and implementable strategies for how to launch a channel, drive massive views and subscriber growth, build a brand, increase engagement, improve searchability, and drive commerce through YouTube.

Derral teaches you why most YouTube channels fail to gather significant momentum and what you can do to make sure you're not among them. You'll find out the different ways you can monetize your YouTube channel, grow your business with YouTube, inspire loyalty in your viewers and subscribers, and how to harness the power of solid data to move the needle on your YouTube numbers.
