This book is around 200 pages and could be half the length. I am currently trying to wade through the "personality" to the facts.

I bought this book for my children who have expressed their interest in having a YouTube channel for some time. This is an informative book, that makes creating a channel easy, in simplified terms.

Il libro è stata una rivelazione! Per me adulto in modo semplice e divertente mi ha dato la possibilità di comprendere meglio il mondo di YouTube, alquanto sconosciuto a me!!! così ho potuto anche avvicinarmi di piu a tutto cio che piace a nio figlio adolescente! Belli i disegni. Anche un buon esercizio d inglese, a livello abbastanza semplice

I bought the full colour version on the recommendation of a friend for my wannabe YouTuber 11 year old daughter. The book is very comprehensive with a lot of information but is nicely presented in a very engaging way to make it child friendly. It has colourful animation and text so it is easy to follow. A fun way to learn!

Some helpful for preparing youtube channel Has a lot of good information However, it tells of a program that you need to download so you can post your video's on your YouTube channel. It does not tell you what settings you need. I assumed it would be YouTube so I selected that and connected YouTube channel. It did not work. Now we are just stuck and cannot post our video's to our youtube channel.

It's ok This book has a lot of useful information for someone starting out without any YouTube knowledge. My teenage son isn't finding this book very helpful but he's reading it anyhow, just incase there is anything helpful. A lot of pages are filled with drawings which are basically to fill up space on the pages. This book could be about 1/2 the thickness if it weren't for these useless drawings.

Great book for kids into YouTube! full of great information for kids and parents alike. It has internet safety advice, which is so important in todays world. Discusses planning, fliming, editing, and so much more. It is well written and easy to understand for kids. A great starting place for young video makers! My 9 year old loves it!

Excellent intro to YouTubing for any age (I'll get to those screen shots when I'm done with the review.)One of the few YouTube guides that isn't all about making money. The focus is on doing a channel that's meaningful to you and fun to do. And to be kind. This is great advice for anyone, regardless of age.The bulk of the book is about finding your way, with suggestions on what you might do and some possible ways of doing it. There are decent discussions of what tools you need (published in 2021, some of the recommendations of software are out of date), the basics of setting up lighting and a work area and courtesy in shared space, the basics of green screen, a brief intro to animation, a brief rundown on filming and editing, and finally uploading (here is the one subject not as helpful for an adult—the recurrent advice is get a parent to help). Nothing deep but all of it useful. Be creative. Have fun. Do it. Improve as you learn. This is great advice.…There is mention of etiquette and safety, with extensive resources on safety in the last chapter (basically resource appendices of all kinds).I really do mean this is good regardless of age. I'm about 60 years older than younger end of the target audience. I found the book helpful and inspiring.…Most of the other books appeal to the get-rich-quick crowd. You gotta have something to say, something that will draw people in whether you're after their money or not. Apparently that never crosses anyone's mind (how many small businesses fail because of this? that strange idea that money will flow your way just because you're a business).(About the screen shots. I read using the Kindle app on an iPad, if that has anything to do with it.…When I'd leave the app to open others then come back to Kindle I'd find the pages scrambled—usually, but not always. It's elements of the preceding page superimposed on the current page, seemingly at random. This has never happened before. Very disturbing.…I tried reading in landscape and the problem went away. Tipped the pad back to portrait and it was fine until the next time I left the app. Come back to a messed up page, tilt and get back to reading. Odd. Very odd.)
