It's about personal experiences.
This is one person's own approach to how to manage a business as well as multiple social media accounts. While everyone's experiences are different, this shows a practical approach to how to move from having a business or an idea and how to share it to various media platforms.
It was a good read, and went by quickly. I think that while most of it was fluff and some pages had redundant information, it still had some valuable information. I wouldn't buy the book, but it is (at least for now) on the Amazon Kindle Unlimited list.

I thought the first 100 pages of this book had really great information and I learned a lot. I was really disappointed, though, when the last 65 pages were just lists of 10 questions each for making a YouTube “Tag” video. It seems clear that the author didn’t have enough to talk about and wanted to make the book longer.

Please have an editor review this book
There were a rather excessive amount of grammatical mistakes that made this book incredibly difficult to read. The content was decent. Nothing new though

Great info
This had some great info and ideas. But nothing that you can’t find on google. Needs some extra editing for grammatical errors.

Gets to the point
I give this book four stars because it was just what I was looking for, however, it is repetitive at times and that is something to consider when purchasing. It's simple, gets to the point, and takes maybe about half an hour to an hour to read. I got this on kindle unlimited and if you have that it's definitely worth it, on the other hand, if you have to pay for this book it's probably not worth it if you only made (or are going to make) a few videos.

Filled in missing pieces of the YouTube puzzle...
Funny, I am a professional programmer by trade and consider myself computer savvy. I have also posted videos to YouTube (garnering 30k+ views), but how people make money from there has always been a mystery to me. This book answered a lot of questions and made total sense.
There are a few typo's and a lot of repeated content (even verbatim), but I wonder if that is intentional. After watching one of her video's where she was commenting on her itchy nose, it is clear to me that this is not a high end operation. But that is the genius here--she is down-to-earth, salty, and full of business acumen. Her book reflects that, and it shows how important it is to have passion and to be conversational. Impressive!
I recommend this book if you need to understand the mechanics of running a grass roots channel on YouTube and how to generate revenue. I am glad I did--it got my wheels turning. This will be a go-to reference in the future.
