From Tyler Oakley to Jenna Marbles to PewDiePie, creating YouTube videos is no longer a penniless hobby. If you play your cards right, it could actually become your career.

Quality videos and thousands of views are just two pieces to the puzzle. Many YouTubers use their platform to cement themselves as experts in their fields, strike up business partnerships, and even make money off their videos. Some vloggers reportedly make thousands of dollars for a couple hundred views. We have no doubt recording, editing, and promoting a video requires a lot of time and energy, but once you make it to the big leagues, you could wind up with a six-figure salary. 

Ready to make your YouTube debut? Consider enrolling in this online course all about YouTube. With 80 lectures and eight hours of content, this course will take you from a rookie to an expert in no time — and have you well on your way to making the big bucks. By the end of this course, you'll learn how to choose the best equipment, seamlessly upload videos, create eye-grabbing thumbnail images, and acquire new followers.

Going viral is something that happens overnight, but creating a lasting — not to mention lucrative — YouTube channel requires some strategy. To help, The Complete YouTube Course teaches you how to use SEO to make your videos stand out from millions of others already on the site. And once you're ready to talk business, you'll be able to use Google Adwords to turn your channel into a franchise.

If you want to create a new YouTube channel or improve the one you already have, what are you waiting for? Right now, you can pick this course up for just $18.
