About YouTube Academy

The syllabus covers using AI tools to research a niche and to create thumbnails and research titles, setting up and optimising a channel, and how the YouTube algorithm works.[1] It also covers growing a channel and getting views consistently, building authority in a niche, creating content people search for, and avoiding demonetisation or a ban.[1]

The owner's business site, brayvideos.com, offers YouTube coaching to entrepreneurs and small businesses on using video to grow a business.[2] The owner's YouTube channel teaches an "Attract, Engage, Convert" approach: a channel that attracts the right audience, positions the creator as an authority and turns viewers into inbound enquiries.[3]
