Gideon Shalwick Reveals Killer YouTube Strategies To Rapidly Grow Your List

What’s the single most important asset in your online business?
Your list.
You probably know that already. Your email list or subscriber list or customer list – your means of staying in contact with your prospects and customers – is the most important asset to your business.
The problem you face is how to rapidly build your email list.
I’ve talked plenty about list building on this blog and in courses and free reports I’ve published, however there is one area I failed to cover extensively because it’s not something I’ve experimented with.
What am I talking about?
Building your list using YouTube video marketing.
Luckily for me a very close friend Gideon Shalwick, who is my partner in the Become A Blogger project, spent the last seven months building a completely new online business using just YouTube to build his list.
His new business has nothing to do with Internet marketing – it’s about street magic.
I get the benefit of Gideon’s knowledge and experience all the time, so I know how good he is at YouTube marketing.
Next week you have a chance to learn what Gideon knows. He is going to help a select group of people and share his tactics in a very special webinar, which you can join here -
Killer YouTube Strategies LIVE Webinar
When: Tuesday 8PM EST, December 8th, 2009
Duration: 3 hours (2 hours teaching, 1 hour Q&A)
What: 37 Killer YouTube Marketing Techniques, 4 Secret Growth Metrics, Live Coaching Session with Gideon

This is a special link only for my readers and subscribers. Gideon is not promoting this webinar outside our subscribers, so you will only have the option to join the webinar live for the next few days.
How Good Is YouTube For List Building?
When I started my blog it took me a year to build up to 1,000 RSS subscribers. At the start of the second year I started an email list. At the end of two years I had 3,000 email subscribers and 3,000 RSS subscribers.
Gideon started a new business in April 2009 and began marketing with YouTube videos only. He had a blog, but all the traffic that went to the blog came after watching the videos on YouTube.
After only seven months of using YouTube, Gideon had grown his list to 13,000 subscribers – an incredibly rapid growth rate.
It took me almost three years to match that and he did it in just over half a year.
And remember, this is not in the “make money” niche like me, this is in teaching people how to perform magic tricks.
I’m very impressed by the potential YouTube presents as a list building tool, and let’s face it – we need as many marketing techniques as we can get when it comes to building your lists.
It’s tough to generate a quality email database, especially when you start from scratch with no existing contacts. You need something extra today, you need to know what is current and powerful, and that is what YouTube marketing is all about.
Gideon started this new business from absolutely nothing. There was no profile, no online contacts, just him, his business partner Jay Jay, a blog and a YouTube account.
Gideon is going to explain the exact steps he went through to build his list using YouTube, so if you want in on all his best tactics and strategies, make sure you sign up here –

Yaro, what happened to your hair (saw new twitter pic)?
(And what happens to mini-Yaro hair? O_o)
Mini-Yaro will have to carry the long hair now, I’ve moved on
This is a very good strategy. Of course a business’s list is one of it’s most important assets, but what many people overlook is that they don’t just need a large list, but a list of people who are really interested in what you have to offer.
I think that the best way to ensure that these are the kind of people you have on your list is to give them as much information as possible, and what better way to do this than through Youtube?
hmmmmm…. looks like an opportunity I could capitalize on since I’m an avid Youtube user….
Cheers,
Me too. I like the idea of utilizing video on marketing and will definitely attend this webinar. I am signing-up right now. Thanks Yaro, BTW, nice hair!
wow! 13,000 subscribers is quite a huge list. However, as Make Quick Money said, the important thing is that the list contains of the target customers, of ppl who are genuinly interested.
Awesome post,, nice to see that vid marketing isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
Of course YouTube marketing would only work well in certain niches. Magic tricks is most definitely one of them as people want to see video demonstrations. Still, it may be something worth experimenting with anyway.
Hey Yaro, i truly appreciate the honesty in your posts. I know you got in to this game before Gideon and it takes a meek character to write a post as this. I know some “gurus” who would never accept that someone else’s idea might just be much better than theirs at a point talk less of writing about the better idea in a post on their own blog!
You’re a good example of humility! It is things like this that make you a great mentor.
Meanwhile, you look more academic with your new look. What happened to the big hair and all it’s glory?
I kinda miss the Big-haired Yaro but Heck Yaro Is Yaro – big hair or not!
Thanks Segedoo – you can have never too much good information, no matter where it comes from, and I’m certainly not ever going to rest on what I now know – there is always more to learn.
You know with less hair I can actually think quicker so I might have better ideas
This is killer since I put my first youtube video up the other day. I need some good pointers and stuff to help bring more people to my list. Thanks for this Yaro, Much appreciated.
I use YouTube as a promotional channel, so will be very interested in listening to the live webinar. We can always learn something new, can’t we?
Hi Yaro,
Thanks for sharing this info. You Tube is big indeed and knowing how to use it the way your friend does would be cool.
I hope that he’ll cover everything from the beginners point of view including which equipment to use and the less expensive varieties of it.
I may not be able to attend but will try to arrange things so I can do so.
Video is a bit intimidating for most people and to see how it’s done properly would be helpful in overcoming the jitters.

Hi Yaro,/Gideon
What is suppose to happen you click the killeryoutube link? I have fast internet good for watching videos and I just see a bar loading after 3 minutes. So i just click away. Is it meant to be like that?
AP
the same problem i am heaving to play the video
Hey Guys
A video is supposed to start playing automatically when you click on the link.
If this does not happen for you, have you tried clearing the cache of your browsers yet?
That may solve it.
Gideon
Sounds very interesting and I am particularly impressed with your plug in comparing your own achievement with Gideon’s.
About the hair, some hair is better than no hair. Ask those without some on top!
I’m trying to wrap my head around all this…everything I read from old school direct mail guys – up to new media marketers says “It’s all about the list”!
So, to be clear….is building a list (to market from) the endgame?

Long hair is just such a hassle! Now if we have to take this on a symbolic level does your cutting your hair mean that you’re also going to write less and do more video on your blog? All for the sake of energy conservation of course.
Unfortunatelly, I’ve depleted my budget long time ago. Now I am starting from absolute zero
. And I have tried YouTube once, and I had only a little more than 50 views and half of that went to my blog.
I really don’t know why I didn’t keep that pushing… I guess because I feel lazy making a video, feel more confident just writing stuff lol.
Hi Yaro,
I have delayed getting familiar with the marketing advantage YouTube offers. I have somewhat justified myself by focusing on the many other things you can learn about IM, but the impressive results Gideon and others have had make it unwise to keep postponing it.

Great post. I am eager to find out about the latest techniques to come out on the You Tube front. Video marketing is here to stay. It’s just another tool in your marketing arsenal that needs to be utilized in conjunction with everything else, so we dont’ become too dependant on one source of traffic.
It looks like I missed it. Is there any way to see the webinar after the fact. I would love to see what he has to say on the subject. Thank you!
My videos don’t do very well on youtube I will have to give this a go!
You tube is the way of the future. I know two guitar teachers who became famous only because of Youtube. The sites they own have decent SEO but not enough to propel them to popular status.
On the Apple iPod Touch, there is a youtube app, as you already know. You can access all apps on the Ipod without the use of a PC. In the youtube app, there is a section that is touchable that says “Favorites” and you can mark videos there.
I’m trying to wrap my head around all this…everything I read from old school direct mail guys – up to new media marketers says “It’s all about the list”!
oh no i missed this event….damn
Amazing how quickly he was able to build his list! Will definitely be alert for the next time he is offering this class!
