A Complete Beginner's Guide: YouTube for Coaches
The Step-by-Step Playbook to Set Up Your Channel, Record Your First Video, and Start Attracting Clients in 6 Months
One video a week. Six months. Clients who already feel like they know you.
You don't need to be tech-savvy. You don't need a fancy studio, a big following, or any idea how YouTube actually works. You just need a simple, honest roadmap that walks you through every single step from setting up your channel to recording your first video to turning viewers into coaching clients.
This is a 10-chapter beginner's guide written specifically for coaches who are ready to show up on YouTube and build a business that compounds over time. It covers everything: channel setup, tech, recording, editing with Descript, creating Shorts, SEO basics, and building your email list, all in plain language with no fluff. If you've been putting off YouTube because you didn't know where to start, this is your starting point.
This is not theory. I've watched coaches go through this exact process and have clients get on discovery calls saying, "I feel like I already know you", after watching just a handful of videos. That's what six months of consistent, simple YouTube can do.
Inside the guide, you'll learn:
- How to set up a complete, professional-looking YouTube channel in a single sitting, no tech experience required
- My simple 4-part video structure so you always know exactly what to say and never blank out on camera
- How to edit your videos in Descript by deleting words like a Word do, no video editing skills needed
- How to turn every long-form video into 2–5 Shorts and show up on YouTube every single day without filming every single day
- How to write titles and create thumbnails that get your ideal coaching client to stop scrolling and click
- How to build your email list from day one using a simple freebie, so YouTube grows your list while you sleep
This works even if you've never recorded a video in your life — no editing experience, no expensive equipment, no social media following required.
By month six, you'll have a growing library of videos working for you around the clock, and clients reaching out who already trust you before you've ever spoken a word to them.
