About the Instructor
Hi, I'm Aprilynne, and I'll be your BGTY instructor.
I started creating YouTube videos in July 2021. I had absolutely no audio, video, or editing experience, but I was determined to get some attention.
Teaching myself the basics, I was able to get monetized within 4 months. I started making $100/day from my YouTube channel alone. Within 9 months, I reached 20,000 subscribers.
YouTube has given me:
- 5 figures in ad revenue
- Over $3,500 in sponsorships
- Over $1,500 in consulting revenue
- A $50,000 freelancing gig
- Features in Business Insider and The Verge
- A reputation as an industry expert
- Valuable introductions
... And that was only in 9 months
I won't teach you how to reach a million subscribers on YouTube
Frankly, I don't know how - I haven't done it before, and I'm not going to pretend I have. But YouTubers with millions of subscribers often forget what it's like to be starting from zero, and as a result they're often not the best instructors for beginners.
That's precisely why this course exists - designed with beginners in mind, focused purely on the period of time between zero and monetized. I'm here to teach you everything I know. So if you're ready to start on your YouTube journey, get your camera ready - I'll see you in class
