This review is from: YouTube for Business: Online Video Marketing for Any Business (2nd Edition) (Que Biz-Tech) (Paperback)
YouTube for Business (I have the second edition) is a helpful book for anybody who wants to use video marketing. You can always tell a good book by the depth of its table of contents. The author of this tome, Miller, goes the extra mile to provide extensive amounts of info to his reader.

I'll touch some brief pressure points. First, I liked how Miller emphasized the need to track the performance of your videos. If you're trying to put people into your funnel then you need to know what content works and what doesn't. I also like how he gets across the versatility of video marketing.

This review is from: YouTube for Business: Online Video Marketing for Any Business (2nd Edition) (Que Biz-Tech) (Paperback)
I did enjoy the book, although I expected to gain alot more direct usable tools to help my business. Alot of the read was very general and more of an overview.

5.0 out of 5 stars [...], December 29, 2011
This review is from: YouTube for Business: Online Video Marketing for Any Business (2nd Edition) (Que Biz-Tech) (Paperback)
I recommend this book to anyone wanting to create an effective youtube video. When I first put up my youtube video I wasn't dressing professional and I got bad comments, and I didn't read a sample of my book, and I didn't know how to get views. This is an excellent wonderful book. I'm reading other books on youtube and they don't even come close. With this book I wrote many notes.
