Summary:
Rehashed information. Good for review but not if you are already familiar with techniques to market affiliate products on YouTube.
Rating:
As I wrote in the summary, this isn't a bad book. It does have some grammar errors, and if you are one to freak out about that, this book will frustrate you. For the most part, if you are a beginner to marketing using YouTube, you will probably get something out of this book.
If you are not a beginner and have used YouTube to sell before, you may well be disappointed by reading this book. I could not find one item that I could say to myself, "well, at least I learned about such and such!"
One Big, Strong Caution!
The author mentions about using techniques that many would deem as being Gray Hat. This means that using the techniques described, may get your YouTube account suspended and even banned.
It is against YouTube's Terms of Service (TOS) to include affiliate links in the description. Most marketers ignore this because YouTube is slow to act on this, probably due to the sheer number of videos that are loaded per minute.
It is permitted to link back to your business or personal page. In doing so, you can either capture emails or send them to your affiliate offer.
The Price is Right
If you are a member of Kindle Unlimited (KU) then this book is part of your subscription and you won't pay anything for it. Of course, authors can choose to remove their books from the KU program, in which case, you will be charged if you choose to read it. At the time of this writing, the book cost 99 cents - not likely to break anyone's bank.
YouTube Fast Cash CONCLUSION
Overall, I don't think you will go wrong buying this book. Even if you have done some YouTube marketing before, the book can serve as a reminder of what steps to take.
