Why I Wrote This Course
This massive disruption has been silently growing in the video advertising
space for the last decade. This realization hit me hard when I was asked by
Google to be a YouTube Marketing Ambassador. I was flown out to the
Googleplex in Mountain View and was given exclusive information about the
future of YouTube.
The tables of power are quickly changing to where the consumers have
become the creators. We have the power to reach anyone in the world at
anytime. Never before have we had this much power; and its only the
beginning. I even quit my job so I could take advantage of this opportunity.
For the last year Google has been sending me a check every month for the
ads that Ive monetized on my YouTube channels. I havent even touched
some of these YouTube channels for a year. It has become passive income,
the Holy Grail for entrepreneurs.
Naturally, I wanted to share and teach people how they too, can take
advantage of this huge opportunity. We have the ability to Profit Off Our
Passion!
I created this course hoping that others may share in the simple successes
that Ive experienced.
Enjoy.

DISRUPTION

A tipping point in video is
coming where the billions
of dollars that are so
carelessly wasted on TV
advertising will flow to
YouTube. This is great
news for content creators
and people who are looking
to make some good money
from their YouTube

WHY?
DISRUPTION Once you understand this massive disruption thats
happening in the advertising world, youll realize how
much opportunity there is for you to get involved early and
start making money.

TV and not online, chances are that youre usually fast-
forwarding through them or doing something else during the
break.

Google is like the cool kid at school picking people for their kick-
ball team and everyone else is just trying to get picked first.
WHATS SEO?
How do you get your website to be that coveted first pick in a
Google search? The answer is through search engine optimiza-
tion or SEO. The basic building blocks of SEO are keywords. If
you want to show up first in a search for cool iPhone cases
you want to make sure that you use that exact keyword phrase
in your title, description, meta data, etc. so that Google knows
what your page is all about. That way when someone searches
for it, Google can say this site looks most relevant to that key-
word phrase and put your site at the top of the results.
Were going through a huge shift in the way things work these
days. When I was a kid I remember going to rent movies from a
store, now I just log onto my Netflix account. I remember learn-
ing from my teachers in school by watching them write on a
chalkboard, now kids are learning on iPads and computers.
Just like all of that, advertising is changing forever.
8
When you go to watch a YouTube video and you see an ad appear that you can skip after 5 seconds, that is an in-stream TrueView ad.
You can decide to allow these ads to appear on your videos by Monetizing your YouTube channel. If someone watches the ad, the ad-
vertiser pays you and Google. If the ad is skipped or clicked before 30 seconds have passed (or half of the duration of the ad, which-
ever comes first) the advertiser pays nothing.

Lighting is something that, if done correctly, can make a crappy camera look a lot better
than it is. But if you do it wrongor not at allit can make even the nicest camera look really
bad. The diagram below shows you how to properly set up your lights for an interview-style

BE INTERESTING
Finally, when it comes to filming, you need to be interesting. Whether that means you or the person youre filming. Some people get
really shy when the cameras come out but its just something that comes with practice. If youre filming someone else whos having a
hard time around the cameras, tell them to just talk to you and not worry about the cameras. Avoid being monotone and boring. Crack
a joke or two and smile. If you dont look excited to be in the video, no one will be excited to watch it either.

Section 4
POST- INTRO
The most important thing with the intro is that its got to grab the
PRODUCTION viewers attention. No one wants to stare at your logo for 10 sec-
onds. Youll lose your audience faster than a grandma with Alz-
heimer's looses her keys. Dont show your logo for more than 3
seconds in the intro.
CALL TO ACTION
Your viewers arent always going to know what you want from
them unless you tell them. Say click here, subscribe, etc.
and then give them a button like this one for them to click.
31
EDITING
Youre going to need some sort of software to edit your videos
and put them all together. There are paid tools that you can use
for this, or there are free tools. If youre going to be doing much
with video I personally would suggest spending the money on a
good editing software.

GRAPHICS
In order to make things like Splash Pages, buttons, and other graphics, youre going to need some kind of graphics software. Like I

you subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud then you can have full access to all of their programs for a monthly subscription fee. That

OFF-PAGE OPTIMIZATION
Off-page optimization is all about audience engagement. Like I
said before, its something that you dont have as much control
over. If you are getting a lot of likes (or dislikes), views, shares,
or comments, thats going to play a part in your rankings.
44
If you take the time to understand your analytics youre going to know whos watching, how long theyre watching, where are they com-
ing from, where they are going, etc. This will help you see your weak points, your strong points, and where you can improve. One of
the tools in Google Analytics which can help you a lot is the Demographics tab, which tells you all about who is watching. Another tab
that youll want to use a lot is the one labeled Traffic Sources. It tells you how people are finding you and where they are going from
there. You can see if people are finding your video through suggested videos, a YouTube search, a Google search, an embedded
video player on another site, etc.

results have you seen? Would you recommend this course to other people?
If you didnt like this course, please tell me why. You wont hurt my feelings by
telling me that you would have rather pulled off your fingernails with pliers and
plucked your eyes out with a spoon. (Was that too much?) Tell me honestly
what you didnt like. Tell me how I can improve it. We cant improve what we
dont know.
Please email me and let me know what you thought of the course. I read
every single email. MyVideoPower@gmail.com
SPECIAL THANKS
A big thanks to Dan The Man Jenson. Without him, this book would not be
here. Dan spent hours piecing together all the images and copy in a way thats
simple to follow and still be aesthetically pleasing to read. Thank you Dan.
You truly are the man.
DISCLAIMER
Thanks for reading! My website / eBook is a resource guide for educational, marketing and informational purposes. To write my articles, I use my experiences, the ex-
periences of others and various other resources including but not limited to the wild wild web, and the Encyclopedia Britannica That said, my advice doesnt come with
any guarantees. By reading this book or visiting my website, youre essentially signing a contract that says that you understand that I make no guarantees, and you
wont try to sue me or report me to the Obama administration. Because that would be awkward.
We think it goes without saying (but were gonna say it anyway because, ya know, covering our ass and all that), this Video Course is a resource for educational and
informational purposes only. Participating in this email clinic does not create a marketing consultant relationship between you and the creators of Video Power Market-
ing (thats me). Customized marketing advice is not provided in this clinic. (because that is pretty much impossible to do without knowing the delightful details of your
specific situation). Instead, this Video Course / eBook is an educational workshop to make you aware of some of the key video marketing strategies and tactics for your
brand.
