My YouTube channel generates an additional $3,000 to $5,000 each month in sales for my online course. I’ll give you a step by step guide to copying my process for growing your audience and generating online course sales with YouTube.
Note – I shared a draft of this post with a few clients and within a few days they saw great results including increases in YouTube engagement and course sales.

My success in online course marketing with YouTube comes despite the fact that, my channel has only 15 videos and under 1,600 subscribers. And, although I haven’t updated the channel or posted a new video in over 2 years, it continues to produce a consistent supply of students who purchase my online course. This generates a steady stream of passive revenue while growing my audience. What that tells us is, not only is YouTube a great place to promote courses, but it’s also a great way to set up your passive revenue stream from online course sales. In this article I’ll give you a list of key steps you can follow to improve your exposure and sales on YouTube.Check out this guide to YouTube marketing for online course sales. - Increases sales by 30%+ Share on X

First let’s look at a few things about YouTube and why it makes a great marketing platform for online courses.
Why YouTube?
YouTube is the second largest search engine. Next to… you guessed it, Google. YouTube sees over 3 Billion searches a month and while many of those are for cute cats or gangnam style videos plenty of them are people looking to learn something. This gives you an opportunity to share some knowledge on YouTube, which can then drive visitors to your actual online course.
Not only is YouTube bigger than Bing, Yahoo!, Ask and AOL combined, (when it comes to monthly searches), your videos will also show up in regular Google searches. So if your training videos are on YouTube, people searching on YouTube, or regular Google search can find them.
That’s some impressive exposure and a great opportunity to promote your online expertise. And as I mentioned earlier I’ve personally leveraged YouTube to generate an additional $3,000 to $5,000 each month in sales for my online course. Here’s how I did that…
We’ll start by looking at the general strategy for posting on YouTube, and driving leads from YouTube to your course and then I’ll give you essential steps to get better exposure on YouTube.
