WHO ELSE WANTS TO MASSIVELY INCREASE THEIR YOUTUBE VIEWS?

- AND DO IT EASILY AND INSTANTLY?

- AND FOR FREE?

- AND WITH NO GRAPHICS EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE!

You are failing at YouTube, by missing the number 1 secret ... and yet you probably don't even know that you are failing!

YouTube thumbnails and graphics are what distinguishes your videos from everybody else's.

Yet over 90% of YouTube thumbnails fail.

They fail to attract attention.
They fail to get views.
They fail to get subscribers.
They fail to make money.
Unless you do the graphics 100% correctly, you will be failing, too!

But how do you do these graphics quickly, cheaply, above all effectively - and preferably for free?

I'm Alun Hill and I make over $2,000 each month on YouTube.

In this comprehensive video course, with full accompanying notes, I take you gently by the hand as I show you not only how to make thumbnails and graphics correctly for YouTube, but I also show you how to do it for free.

You do not need to be a graphic artist or designer and you do not need expensive programs like Photoshop. Everything, even including templates, is supplied for free.

Your thumbnail is what makes your video stand out amongst all the dozens of other videos when people go to YouTube.

If you create the thumbnail the correct way, following YouTube's extensive rules and guidelines, your video will stand out on the page much more than the others and you will get the views, you will get the subscribers and you will get the income.

But YouTube is a nightmare to follow, yes?

Use my experience, my knowledge from 8 years of YouTube (my main channel grows by one million views every month and by over a thousand subscribers every month on average), follow my videos and written lectures - and be as successful as me (or even more so!).

What's even better, however, is that this is self-perpetuating - i.e. as YouTube see that you are getting these views and subscribers, they will send you hordes of traffic thus increasing your views, income and subscribers, for ever more.

They then continue to send you viewers, hour in, hour out, day in, day out ... every day.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

YouTube will always send traffic to videos that are successful and you can only be successful if your thumbnail stands out from the crowd.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With billions of the videos on YouTube these days it's the only distinguishing feature that you can make to potential viewers.

If you want more views on YouTube, this course is for you.
If you want more subscribers on YouTube, this course is for you.
If you want to make more money on YouTube, this course is for you.
It doesn't matter whether you're monetising through AdSense, CPA, back links, links to your clients' website or product – you must catch the eyes of viewers before anything else happens ... and I show you how to do all of this for free, and it only takes minutes to do.

(In January 2015, I moved to a new brand new 3 floor Duplex Penthouse in an old British Fort on a tiny island in the Mediterranean Sea, so that I can spend more time creating training programmes after 30 years of whizzing around the world as a travel and business journalist!).

My CV:

Business and Travel Writing and Broadcasting:

I started my broadcasting career with the BBC when I was a mere British Grammar Schoolboy. I co-hosted a weekly radio show devoted to children, the first of its kind, in what has since become known as the "zoo format". I have since broadcast on many stations around the world, on both TV and Radio. I also now podcast on iTunes under the brand name "Talking About Business".

Business Journalism:

I write and film on business for a range of publications and websites, internationally as well as for CNN TV - with an emphasis on marketing and business growth. I also produce radio reports on travel, which are syndicated worldwide.

Online Marketing / SEO:

I have advised internationally companies of all sizes on their online presence, particularly with an emphasis on Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and video marketing on YouTube.

I have trained people and companies on Copyright, SEO, Video Marketing, Online Marketing, the use of Press Releases, Twitter, Google Search and the correct usage of Google AdWords and AdSense.

Published Business Books include: "Internet Marketing - All You Need To Know", "Using LinkedIn Successfully - All You Need To Know", "Google And Its'Products" and "Search Engine Optimization For Beginners".

I recently retired as the Technology Editor at Gadgets and Technology News - an Accredited Google News Source.

Travel Journalism:

I write and film on travel for CNN, National Geographic Adventure Channel, and the Sky TV Community Channel, as well as being a "Travel Expert" for AllExperts, which is part of the New York Times Group. I travel extensively, mostly around Europe, but with occasional forays to the Far East and the Caribbean.

I have written over a dozen published travel books and guides and am currently writing 2 travel books, one a guide to cruising at lower cost as well as a full guide to North Korea (which may well be funny, but inaccurate in parts).

Video:

YouTube: I have over 21 million viewers on my main comedy / satire channel and I have several other channels, which are commentary, training and travel related.

Twitter: I currently have around 80,000 followers on my two Twitter accounts.

Memberships:

Retired: Chartered Institute of Journalists

I recently retired as Council Member, Chair of Pensions and International Members Division, Member of Pensions Committee and of the Professional Practices Board.

The Chartered Institute of Journalists is the oldest professional body for Journalists in the world. It was founded – as the National Association of Journalists – in 1884 and six years later was granted its Royal Charter by Queen Victoria, to protect and serve those employed in the field of journalism.

The Institute combines the role of professional society with that of a trade union.

Retired: British Association of Journalists

"Journalists are the watchdogs of the public. We do a superb job spreading truth and knowledge, defending justice, democracy and fair play, exposing wrong-doing and seeking to make the world a better place".

Member: The Media Society

"We aim to provoke, inspire, surprise, educate and entertain. Come to one of our events to find out who we are and what we're all about. We're a charity, proud of our diverse membership and the work we do to help student journalists.

We play a leading role in the wider debate about a variety of media issues that matter both to our members and to society at large".

Member: The Foreign Press Association

"The FPA was founded in 1888 and is the only association of its kind in the UK.

Politically non-aligned, the FPA is one of the oldest clubs for foreign correspondents in the world. The FPA is a member of the UK Press Card Authority and provides accreditation to more than 1500 journalists every year, representing all media from news agencies to print, broadcast and internet".

Member: The Royal Commonwealth Society

"The Royal Commonwealth Society is an international education charity. With a remit to promote international understanding across the Commonwealth, especially among young people, the RCS has an impressive portfolio of charitable activities.

Our Young Commonwealth Competitions encourage thousands of young people to respond to global challenges through annual creative writing and photography".
