Course details

Did you know that more video content is uploaded to the internet in a single month than network television has produced in three decades? And most of it is uploaded to YouTube. As the world’s second largest search engine (and owned by the world’s largest), YouTube is a powerful driver of website traffic. Marketers use video as the primary media for their content strategy, creating YouTube channels for presentations to drive leads and sales, for explainer videos to increase product and service understanding, for advertising, and more. This course will introduce students to the basics of setting up a YouTube channel, learning how to create content that is optimized for search, managing the analytics to hone and tweak successful YouTube performances, and using YouTube to deliver on business objectives.
