THIS BOOK IS FULL-COLOR
I wrote, designed and built this book like a full-color magazine! You're going to love learning with color. Most books on YouTube today are written in boring black and white text with NO IMAGES whatsoever. Who wants to learn how to do something by following what they say in TEXT? NO ONE! With YouTube, there's a lot to learn and it's best learned in color, and with large font print and in a book that serves more like a manual than some boring book filled with only text.
... and there's MORE INSIDE THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND FULL-COLOR book on YouTube. Truly, there's no other book like it on planet Earth, and to be honest, there never will be. I've seen some 50+ books on YouTube and they're all published in black and white text. HOW BORING! Not mine!

LEISA REID
PRESENTER & SPEAKER TRAINER
"Bart took one look at my YouTube channel and gave me several ways to improve it. I added Sections and organized my videos by Playlists and he gave me a bunch of new video ideas for me to create for my channel. Thanks, Bart. Your book on YouTube is like no other. I'm learning so much and so fast. I love how you designed this book. I'm telling all my clients who want to boost their YouTube channels to get your YouTube book, Bart."
WANDA ALLEN
SALES & FOLLOW-UP STRATEGIST
"I've been working with Bart for years, and I actually hired him to help me with my YouTube channel. It is magic to watch him create thumbnails for my videos and his training on how to use video editing software is like no other. I love his story ideas too for my videos, and now he's got a book on YouTube? I can't put it down. I am so anxious to learn more about YouTube and as he says, 'Take my channel to new levels of YouTube success!'"
LORI WILSON
MONEY COACH
“When I met Bart, I didn't have a YouTube channel. I didn't know where to start. He helped me create a user handle that was in line with my website and what I do for a living, and he proceeded to do the other steps that are basically outlined in his YouTube book. Folks, get his book if you want to conquer YouTube. I also love the fact that this book is in color and has large font size making it easy to read.”
DR. NOUSHIN
PSYCHONEUROLOGIST
“I've been working with Bart for years and he's helped me with my website, two books, and my YouTube channel. Whenever I have trouble or can't get a video to upload properly, Bart is there to help me. I love his YouTube book, because now I can learn to do some of these things on my own in regards to my YouTube channel. With the YouTube graphics and screenshots in the book and in full color, it's so easy to follow along and just do the steps. I've never seen a book like this ever. Kudos to you, Bart, for writing this book for all of humanity.”
JULIE O'DELL
VOICEOVER
“Talk about starting from scratch and having no way to showcase my voice over work. That is, until I met Bart. He then suggested I create a YouTube channel to host my voice over work and then, of course, embed them into my website. I am so happy to have met Bart and with his YouTube book, now I can learn how to use my YouTube channel and do more with it. Thank you, Bart, for writing this book and it's so easy to read. I love the large text and the images and it's just so nice compared to all the other books out there that are just boring black and white text.”
ELIYAHU WEISMAN
MASTER MOHEL
“After Bart finished building my website, he made the suggestion that he record certain aspects of what I do and then place them up on my YouTube channel. Well, I didn't have a YouTube channel. Bart whipped up my YouTube channel and uploaded all the videos to my channel faster than I could ask, “how did you do that?” Well, now that I have his book in hand I understand now how he went and did that. Grateful doesn’t even come close to how I feel having Bart’s help and now his YouTube book in my hands to learn even more about YouTube.”
JODIE MONCRIEF
REAL ESTATE
“Bart's help me with my website, my book, he created my YouTube thumbnails and his YouTube coaching comes straight out of his YouTube book. I love his YouTube book. I had so many questions about YouTube and I didn't even know what to ask. Bart covers more on YouTube in one book than I could ever imagine. It’s nice to be able to use something (as complex as YouTube can be) and now with confidence. My next task is to do like Bart said (in the book) and create my list of videos I want to make. Then, start filming and don't stop until I have plenty of videos on my channel for folks to see. I'm on fire and can't stop thinking about my YouTube channel!”
HANNAH SANDY
CHILDREN'S BOOKS
“It is always a joy and a learning pleasure when working with Bart. I've learned so much about the book writing process, he built my website, and now my ventures into YouTube are going to be so confident and reassuring now that I have Bart's YouTube book in hand. I just love the way he illustrates lessons to be learned. I write children's books and I know how important it is to have color in your book. and the way Bart uses color and images and screenshots it just makes learning YouTube so easy. and take it from me, I do not have the technical experience or software knowledge that most people have. So, this YouTube book is a blessing.”
MERLIN HARDY
CONSTRUCTION
“Of course Bart helped me publish three books so far and I'm working on my fourth, but what I'm really excited about is to learn how to use YouTube. I was so surprised, but then I wasn't really, when Bart walked into my office and told me he had published a new book and it was on YouTube. I told him that's exactly what I wanted to learn next. Just skimming through his book I can learn YouTube in no time at all. Think about it, if you're told and shown what to do, and you do it, and you follow (Bart's) instructions, and it works ... then, you're on your way to mastering YouTube. Thank you, Bart, for writing this book. You made my YouTube learning curve a lot easier.”
AUTHOR MESSAGE
I wrote “How To” Create & Grow Your YouTube Channel for you and my clients. In my business of consulting clients (i.e., authors, coaches, speakers and small business owners) about their websites, writing books, and starting a YouTube channel, it hit me to write a full-color book (or manual) that served more like a how-to guide that contained practically everything I could cram into a single book that would be handy to flip through to learn what needed to be learned. In fact, there are some things that are best learned by reading and flipping through pages in a book (like this) to reference something just learned. Plus, it’s nice to have so much information at your fingertips and not have to search for it online.
What’s my story? Real quick, I’m a lot like you! I too wanted to have my own YouTube channel and benefit from it for all the right reasons. (i.e., money, fame, opportunities, etc.) I would say I got off to a late start, though. I could have started my channel some 15+ years ago, but I didn’t.
When I was finally ready, I created my channel @BartSmithWorld during the summer of 2021. Since then, I’ve actually been working on it, along with several side projects that have prevented me from promoting my channel, UNTIL NOW!
I’m an author who’s now writing his 30th book. Yep, 30 BOOKS! That said, when I created my YouTube channel, I already had a lot of content to stuff into it. What’s more, I did a lot of research about “all things” YouTube. I then started PLANNING MY CHANNEL → I created my Sections, Playlists and listed out all the video Shorts and other videos I wanted to make.
I even created a Google doc and a spreadsheet listing out 2,000+ videos I could make. I’m at 1,080 (videos) on my channel right now so I’m halfway there. (HAHA) Seriously, here’s a look at the Sections I have on my YouTube channel:
1. Audiobooks, Book Commentary & Book Tours
2. Cooking Lessons/Recipes, Kitchen Videos & More
3. Software Tutorials, Tech How-To Videos & More
4. Motivational/Self-Help Videos From Bart's Books
5. Want Bart's Advice? (What To Say or Say Coaching)
6. Business Special Reports & Training Tutorials
7. Webinars, Workshops, Speaking, Talks & Trainings
8. Interviews, Appearances, Press & Media Coverage
9. Live Recordings (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
10. Products/Service Reviews & Recommendations
11. Acting, Comedy, Commercials, Music, & More
12. Fun, Activities, Travel Vlogging, Life Updates & More
You see, it’s within each of those Sections, that I had planned on uploading dozens of videos in their respective Playlists. Having made lists of my Playlists I wanted to have on my channel ahead of time helped me organize my videos just as fast as I could create them. Yeah, I know, that’s a lot of Sections (and Playlists and videos) for one person, but, like I said, I’m passionate about creating my YouTube channel just as you should be too. And? I’ve got A LOT IN ME that’s still itchin’ to get outta me into video format and onto my YouTube channel.
Part of my YouTube “Business Plan” also included promoting my channel and certain specific Playlists of videos to specific groups to help achieve certain goals, whether it be to make money, attract new clients, serve existing clients, open new doors, get interviewed on TV, radio, podcasts or other YouTube channels, etc.
Whether it’s through my cooking videos, chocolate chip cookie videos, my relationship and dating audiobook videos, software video tutorials, product review videos, certain Shorts videos or any other collection of videos on my channel, like me, if you’ve got a lot in you → GET IT OUT OF YOU, put it in video format for the WORLD TO SEE, CONSUME and ENJOY so you can benefit from all that consumption!
You see, because I have a MARKETING PLAN for each video (or video Playlist) being promoted to their own target market audience of video watchers, I don’t have to wait around for YouTube’s algorithm to push my videos in front of people. I’ll take that job on gladly. For example, my software video tutorials can be introduced to all sorts of virtual assistant training groups comprised of thousands of virtual assistants who might want to learn how I do my books, eBooks and audiobooks for myself and clients.
The same goes for thousands of groups of authors, coaches, and speakers who might want to learn ____ (i.e., something I have on my YouTube channel). Again, I’m not waiting for the YouTube algorithm to bring me new viewers and subscribers. No. I’m not just a VIDEO MAKER (2nd), I’m a MARKETER (1st). That’s right! I’m going after my target markets myself once my videos are up on my channel.
In fact, picture this, I’m on TV showing an audience of 1,000,000+ viewers how to make my world famous pizza, salad, Barturrito, omelette, or whatever. Well, while I’m on TV, I’ll look right into that camera (several times) and tell the folks watching at home, “Hey, find me on YouTube, subscribe to my channel and watch all my cooking videos and learn to cook like me!” BAM! Who knows, I might just pick up 1,000 to 10,000 new subscribers in the time it takes me to make a pizza on TV.
Or, I’ll be interviewed by dozens of dating companies, apps and websites in regards to my relationship audiobooks on my channel. We’re talking potentially millions of members combined on all those dating platforms who I will be directed to check me out on YouTube, listen to some of my relationship audiobooks, subscribe and voila! I’m doing exactly what the YouTube’s algorithm is supposed to be doing.
I’ve seen many successful, high-profile YouTubers ride the YouTube’s algorithm wave all the way to 712k subscribers only to plateau for years after. What are they NOT doing? They’re not promoting themselves like I speak of here. They don’t get interviewed ENOUGH. They don’t do collaborations ENOUGH. They don’t market off YouTube ENOUGH. So? They plateau and their channel collects dust and their income drops off.
With my marketing activities, I’m forging my efforts to boost my own views, subscribers and watch time with all that self-made traffic. So, like many before us, create content you love and will appeal to the masses, especially specific groups. Go after those groups, introduce yourself, and get interviewed. Encourage people to check you out on YouTube. ASK THEM to SUBSCRIBE and WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Who knows, you just might stir up your own tsunami of video traffic until?
YouTube takes notice and starts sending people your way too! See how that works? YOU just have to get things started, work hard, work fast, be organized, then promote, promote, promote … and then? Your channel, your videos, your life starts to LIFT OFF in exciting new ways like never before.
THAT IS THE POWER OF YOUTUBE!!!
So, having said that, let’s get to the book and ALL that awaits you. It’s time to go YouTubing, isn’t it?
