A rating of 4.6 Stars is spot on

I read a few reviews then decided to make up my own mind. I knew Derral Eves so I was a bit disappointed it was not him narrating - except at the end. However, Tom Parks is OK. Some people complained that the text keeps driving you to Derral's site but honestly I feel I got much more than my two-coffees worth of cost out of this book - Derral genuinely wants to help and his ideas are very good and make sense. All you have to do is to action them - that's the hard bit. If I wanted a bit more it would be an analysis of the kinds of videos that are made - from talking head to documentaries, and an acknowledgement that the amount of effort varies widely in making different genres - drama and structured documentary being way more expensive and time consuming to make than the talking head live and interview streams. Yet of course Google treats them all the same, educational or not, a labour of love or not, all that matters is popularity. It means that many types of film making are just not sustainable on YouTube - which is a failing of YT I think - there could perhaps be weighted revenue in favour of quality crafted production - however, this is never discussed and it is assumed that the people's choice is the final measure of quality. It is perhaps the most important but many of the greatest works in history would never have been made if that were generally true. It's a good book though and well worth the money - you're not in the game if you won't shell out 7.99 for your future.

A bit too good marketing for the author

Lots of good stuff in the book to really turn the channel work into a business. The materials on the website that he quotes multiple times are unfortunately not free, I need to pay to have access to them so it is disappointing, I didn’t buy them. The author positions himself and his work in the most positive light, to me he has been using Mr Beast partnership perhaps to boost the marketing for Mr Beast and himself. Very good book for a hardcore entrepreneurs with the mission to make money through YouTube. I am more casual about that, happy with my full time job. Book was insightful and helpful to me to. Just cringed on those stories with “how amazing I am and how my clients thrive because of me” messaging.

The audio book was a lazy publishing attempt.

I would give it 0 stars but the actual book had some actual things YOU CAN DO. This is basically just word for word of the actual book, not edited whatsoever. If you do not own the actual book you can't see the graphs and makes it difficult to access the links.


Memorable mention : Nice touch on having it narrated by Wojack voice. It literally felt like a Wojack video, but instead of crypto it was YouTube.

Too many pointless stories that probably do not fit with most people.

I enjoyed the actual book, but I TOTALLY REGRET getting the audiobook.

And can you stop pushing your products every 5 minutes throughout the book? Damn.

Full of Waffle!!!

This book is a huge disappointment. It is full of waffle and repetitive stories about how good the author is - think lengthy sales email. in fact at least the half the book is full of these stories and the history of YouTube.

The Audiobook is useless as you cannot see the graphs and charts that they refer to, nor is the companion workbook available on the website despite being directed to it. There is a lot of reference to his paid courses.

There is some great information in the book, but there is a lot of chaff to wade through to get get these grains of information.

DISAPPOINTED I have no access to the online material

Really liked listening to this audiobook but am really upset that I cannot access any of the online content and course despite reaching out to the team for support!!

Commenting figures I cannot see and tools I cannot use is very frustrating!

If I ever get access to this I’ll be much happier

Good book, but in the wrong order

A very comprehensive book that uncovered a lot of mysteries around YouTube. However, the book is structured incorrectly. It goes through making money before the
YouTube formula which makes no sense. You have to use the formula to get subscribers, THEN worry about sponsorships!
