“How to Become Popular on YouTube (Without Any Talent)” – A Free eBook

January 4, 2008

YouTube Popularity bookThank you, dear readers, for your help finalizing this version 1.5 of “How to Become Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent.” Honestly, if I look at this document another moment I’m going to boot.

(Warning- clicking the image to the right will cause you to download the book, which is annoying but probably what most people expect).

This post marks the official release of the book. You can download it (for free) by clicking this link, which will open the 30-page PDF: “How to Become Popular on YouTube (Without Any Talent), version 1.5” by Kevin Nalts, WillVideoForFood.com. If you post the PDF on your own blog or website, please keep that title, and my name and URL. You might want to list this post’s permalink, since it will point to future downloadable versions.

While you’re waiting for Adobe to open (insert “car rusting” joke here), I hope you’ll RSS this blog so we can keep each other current. If you’re a YouTuber and haven’t subscribed to my videos, visit YouTube.com/Nalts, then select the orange button labled “subscribe.” Okay- enough self promotion for one day. I’m going to take a nap.

Here’s the book on Skribd for easy access.

Here’s a free 2-page synopsis of my book, “The Prophet of Online Video.” If you want to use this outline and write your own book, go ahead. I’m so not writing for a while.

Read the revised version and it looks good, Kevin. Still think you should have made a couple of the changes I suggested, though! :)

5 Brian January 4, 2008 at 3:22 pm

LOL

Loved the added Jo testimonial. It was in the perfect spot too.

However, you still didn’t mention my name. So it sucks.

7 DahliaK January 4, 2008 at 6:13 pm

The e-Book is great, and I’m looking forward to your Prophet book too, even though it’s industry-oriented and I’m not in marketing. Keep Tubing!

8 alex January 4, 2008 at 8:10 pm

Good stuff. I’ve also made a short review of your e-book in my little crappy new Italian blog.ciao

9 askcarrielee January 4, 2008 at 9:47 pm

dl’d the ebook, read it. I’m still unpopular. LOL. you mean it’s not an instant “nalts” pill to make me a viral video genius?

Nice book, quick read. You must be at least a bit familiar with the youtube community to get quite a bit of it though.

I sent a “Book Feedback” email.

~Party on, my friend!

Your a good man for doing this Charlie Brown

16 Mike Abundo January 6, 2008 at 7:37 am

Speaking as an online video viewer, your book explains a lot of what the YouTube stars are doing to hold my attention.

Great work, Nalts. Blogged. :)

17 Paul Kontonis January 6, 2008 at 9:43 pm

I hope no one is printing this ebook, so wasteful! Love you Nalts!

18 Hotel Paris Nord January 7, 2008 at 4:45 am

Question, what say you about those oh-so-tempting sub for sub channels, is it good to do that or just stay away?

23 sunnee July 22, 2008 at 2:55 pm

Hey, Nalts!

I just got done reading your book after a recent inexplicable interest in creating youtube videos. It was tremendously helpful for where I am at, but I got the impression that, as time goes by, I’m going to refer back to it often to stay on track.

There’s some good info packed in them there pages!

31 Andrea November 12, 2009 at 12:12 pm

Have you thought about updating this, since Youtube’s new redesign, and the adding of annotations?

thanks you rock!
