YouTube introduces Pro video series

PanARMENIAN.Net - In a continuation of YouTube’s focus on user-generated content, the Google-owned video site is launching a video series to provide guidance for users that want to turn their channel from a hobby into a full-time gig, The Next Web reports.

‘YouTube Pro’ will give advice on a range of issues, such as crowdfunding, attracting and managing advertisers, using a manager, recording content series and more.

The videos will feature input from YouTube and video content pros who have been there, done that and lived the scenarios, as YouTube’s blog explains: “The first topic we’ll cover is “Working with Advertisers”. In these four videos, learn from Dane Boedigheimer, Spencer Griffin of College Humor, Kurt Hugo Schneider and Elle Walker about all aspects of effectively pitching and executing branded content deals. They give advice on pitching an idea, what to include in a contract, how to price a deal, as well as to stay true to your audience through the process.”

In addition, the company is also announcing live events that will take place in New York, Los Angeles and London soon.
