YouTube Growth
By the end of this course you will be able to grow a long-form YouTube channel on purpose instead of by luck: position the channel around one clear viewer, package every video so the right people click, structure videos that hold attention to the end, and read your analytics well enough to know exactly what to make next.
Module 0
Module 0: Start Here: How Discovery Actually Works
Most channels stall because their owners are guessing at how YouTube decides what to show. This module replaces the guessing: the surfaces your videos appear on, what the system is really trying to maximise, and why a long-form channel is a different game from a Shorts feed.
Module 1
Module 1: Position the Channel Before You Post
Channels do not grow video by video; they grow when the system can tell who a channel is for and viewers can tell in one glance. This module writes that down: the viewer, the promise, the width of the niche, and the shelf of channels you will be recommended beside.
Module 2
Module 2: Packaging: Titles and Thumbnails as One Unit
Before a video can be watched it must be chosen, from a row of rivals, in about a second. That choice is made on the package — title and thumbnail working as one unit. This module designs packages that earn the click honestly, and moves the packaging decision to where it belongs: before you film.
Module 3
Module 3: Retention: Hold the Viewer to the End
The click buys you thirty seconds. Everything after that is retention: an opening that pays the package's promise at once, a structure that gives the viewer a reason to stay for the next segment, pacing decided on paper, and an ending that turns one video into a session.
Module 4
Module 4: The Analytics That Actually Matter
YouTube Studio shows you everything, which means it shows most creators nothing — they drown in numbers and act on the loudest one. This module narrows the field: how to read a retention curve, what click-through rate means in context, the five numbers worth a weekly look, and a post-mortem routine that turns each video into instructions for the next.
Module 5
Module 5: The Long Game: Catalog, Series, and Money
A long-form channel's real asset is not its latest upload; it is the library behind it and the habits around it. This final module builds that asset: series that give viewers a next step, a catalog that keeps earning while you sleep, a posting system sustainable for a year, and the honest money map.
