YouTube: The Insider's Guide to Success

Posted Tuesday 20 Jan 2015

We're very excited to begin the year by bringing you YouTube: The Insider's Guide to Success.  For the first time in New Zealand you have the opportunity to hear from the specialists and some fabulous guest speakers! Apart from Robbie Spargo and Steve Crombie (Google them to find out how wonderful they are!), we'll also have a Surprise Guest in each centre for a Fireside Chat.

YouTube has become a forum to connect, inform and inspire billions of people from all over the world. It is also the world's largest distribution platform. The YouTube team, in person!, will share best practices on how to grow your global fanbase, demystify revenue and copyright, and provide an opportunity to network and collaborate with other Kiwi creators.
