Week 09 – Set Up Your YouTube Channel

Welcome to Week 09 of Grumo’s 12-week course creation challenge!

This week we’re going to create a YouTube channel specifically dedicated to help you sell online courses.

Most of today’s top online instructors use YouTube as one of their main marketing channels. This week we will implement the exact strategies that make their channels such awesome lead generation sources.

I know many of you already have a YouTube channel but that doesn’t mean it’s optimized to sell online courses. So if you think you have nothing to do this week you’re wrong my little cookie-eating grasshoppers!

Below you’ll find the exact instructions to convert your Youtube channel into a 24/7 course selling machine!

WEEK 09: SETUP YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL

These are the step-by-step instructions to setup your YouTube channel to sell online courses:

1. Create a Youtube channel account (if you don’t have one already) → WATCH TUTORIAL
2. Implement all the steps explained in this tutorial → WATCH HERE
3. Use this checklist to follow along with the tutorial → SEE CHECKLIST
4. Check these 3 channels to see samples of how it’s done → Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3
5. Submit a link to your optimized YouTube channel before Sep 29th, 2017 – midnight PST (Submission link provided below)

Total estimated time: 4 hours.

Setting up your Youtube channel is just the beginning. To drive traffic from YouTube to your online courses you’ll need to upload great educational videos regularly. That’s the hard part, but at least, after this week, you’ll have the foundation to make YouTube into one of your top course sales generation sources.
