Getting Started on YouTube - Free Guide

Let’s Talk so that I can help you get what you want…

If you’re just getting started with video or YouTube, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. There’s a lot of noise out there, and trying to figure it all out on your own can feel like drinking from a firehose.

But here’s the truth—it doesn’t have to be complicated, and it definitely doesn’t have to be expensive.

I’ve helped small businesses, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and everyday folks just like you cut through the confusion and start creating videos that work. I know what it’s like to start later in life, and I’ve built systems to make the process clear, simple, and—dare I say—fun.

If you’re looking for support, I’d love to meet with you. Let’s talk about where you are, where you want to go, and how I can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions about Coaching offered by Ask The Earl…

If you cancel your session at least 24 hours in advance, I’m happy to issue a refund. No-shows or last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) aren’t eligible, and I don’t offer refunds after a session has taken place.

Yes. I offer both one-on-one and group coaching options. Just send me an email and share a bit about what you’re looking for—I’ll be in touch personally.

I don’t offer private free coaching sessions, but I do provide a ton of free training, tutorials, and real-world advice on my YouTube channel, as well as live sessions. Subscribe there and dig in—it’s a great place to start.

Not at all. I specialize in helping people over 50 start from where they are—no fancy gear or editing experience required. I’ll walk with you step-by-step.

No—and be cautious of anyone who says they can. My goal is to help you build skills, confidence, and consistency so your content connects and grows over time.

I feel like I’m too late to start. Is YouTube still worth it?
Yes—100%. YouTube is growing every day, and there’s a huge demand for real, relatable voices—especially from people with life experience. Starting now is better than waiting another year.

What if I hate being on camera?
You’re not alone—many people do at first. I can help you find your comfort zone. There are even ways to make great videos without always showing your face. The key is just getting started.

What kind of gear do I really need?
You probably already have what you need to start—a smartphone, some good lighting (like a window), and a quiet space. Fancy equipment can come later, if ever.

How long does it take to grow a channel?
It varies, but growth comes from consistency and learning. Some people see results in a few months, others take longer. That’s why I focus on helping you build a system that works for your pace and lifestyle.

Can you help with thumbnails, titles, and editing too?
Yes—I cover all of that. Whether it’s strategy, tech, or the creative side, I’ll show you how to do it yourself—or point you to tools and resources that make it easier.

I don’t want to be “salesy.” Can I still succeed?
Absolutely. YouTube is about value, not hype. If you genuinely want to share, teach, or entertain, there’s a place for you—and people will find you.
