Final word
Marina Mogilko, March 2020
HOW MY CHANNELS GREW: A SNAPSHOT

December 2014: This was a very exciting time! This was when I published my first video on my Russian channel (Marina Mogilko). Surprisingly, it took me 2 years and 116 days to reach 100,000 subscribers! But who's counting, right? I knew nothing about being on YouTube. That's why it took me so long to get it together, develop a strategy, and have confidence in my plan for growing on the platform.

March 2016: By this time I was doing much better. I just launched my Linguamarina channel, and in 1 year and 142 days I reached 100,000 subscribers.

April 2018: I launched Silicon Valley Girl and gained 100,000 subscribers in only... 147 days! I knew how the algorithm worked, how to create titles that attract attention, and how to engage my audience - that's exactly what I talk about in this course!
  • Three channels in two languages and on different topics! That proves that the tricks I came up with work for many types of channels.
  • My YouTube channels generate over $10,000 in monthly revenue (and I am not counting paid partnerships)
  • Over 3,000,000 subscribers and counting.
I will talk about over a dozen ways to make a living off YouTube in this course.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY:
I'd like to tell a few words about my first success. During the course Marina recommended to make a one day lifestyle video. Before quarantine I've managed to make such video of a programmer in LinkedIn and now 4 weeks later youtube started to promote it by itself. We've got plus two thousand views per week!
Another my video which I've also made after the courses got more than 4 thousand views in 3 weeks.
I conclusion it's better to say : as a result we have about 1700 followers on our channel. This number is always growing. And this is only the very beginning.

Marina's YouTube course is motivating and easy to follow. I love that the information is well structured, digestible, and most importantly, actionable. The best part about Marina is that she tells you exactly what she did to grow her YouTube presence, without hiding and sugar coating anything. Marina's course helped me create click worthy thumbnails for my channel and understand how to outsource video editing effectively. Would 100% recommend and looking forward to new courses!
