Matt D’Avella – Master YouTube
There’s no better time to start a YouTube channel than right now
The game has changed and anyone (yes, even you!) can create their own platform and share meaningful content with the world.
But chances are, YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS.
You’ve spent months (maybe even years) watching your favorite YouTubers from the sidelines.
And you’ve started to hear a voice inside saying:
- Maybe I can share my experiences to help someone else.
- Maybe I can build an engaged community of inspiring people.
- Maybe I can make a full-time living from a creative career that fulfills me.
But every time you even think about starting a YouTube channel or continuing to work on your existing one, you end up overwhelmed and stuck.
When you compare your videos to those of your favorite creators…your filming & editing skills are coming up short
But you’re still struggling to figure out the lighting, how to edit your videos, record crystal clear audio, and so much more!
- You know making better quality videos takes time and practice…
- But when you’re already juggling a hectic college load or a 9-5 job, improving your limited skills has no choice but to take a backseat.
- And there’s absolutely no way you’re putting out a less than perfect video – especially if you’re going to be broadcasting your face to strangers on the internet. You’re determined to start with what you have (even if that’s just your smart phone, a plastic tripod, and a flimsy ring light from Amazon).
To make matters worse, no matter how many tutorials you watch and blog posts you read, it never seems to make a difference
- You’re still surfing YouTube videos like it’s an Olympic sport, trying to piece together all the conflicting information
- Yet you don’t feel any closer to knowing where to start or how to improve without feeling overwhelmed.
- You can’t seem to get your videos in front of your dream audience (or anyone, really), and you wonder if you should just call it quits on this dream.

About Matt D’Avella
Hi there, my name is Matt D’Avella
I’M A FULL-TIME YOUTUBER, DIRECTOR OF TWO NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES, AND MY AUDIENCE HAS AN ODD FASCINATION WITH MY BICEPS.
WHEN I STARTED MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN 2017, I HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS DOING.
Even though I’d been a freelance filmmaker for 8 years, I knew next to nothing about how to use the platform as a creator.
I experimented with vlogging, interviewing, podcasts, and riffing off the top of my head (yeah…that didn’t go so well).
In between the filming and editing, I compared myself to my favorite creators and I’d think to myself: I’m never going to be that good.
I questioned if I was crazy and deluding myself for thinking I could stop ‘working’ and create my own original videos for a living.
But as I continued to persist with the journey, experimented with new ideas, and focused on telling compelling stories, slowly but surely, I began to see progress.
In 2018, I grew to 50k subscribers within the span of 2 months – a milestone that finally gave me the confidence to go “all-in” on YouTube.
And over the course of 2 years, I’ve managed to build a community of over 3 million subscribers; collab with inspiring creators like Peter McKinnon, Gary Vee, Yes Theory; and most importantly – create a life where I get to make original videos I really care about.
For the first time ever, I’m revealing everything I’ve learned about how to grow a successful channel.
Master YouTube is designed to help you lay down the foundation you need to create a YouTube channel that’s unique and distinct to you
You won’t find any clickbait tactics or gimmicks that don’t actually teach you how to make good videos.
Instead, you’ll get an inside look into how I operate my channel, my decision-making process when I create a video, and everything I wish I’d known as a brand new creator.
