Summary of Derral Eves's The YouTube Formula

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 2002, the start‐up company PayPal had just been acquired by eBay for $1. 5 billion. This created a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley. Three PayPal employees, Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley, and Steven Chen, were some of these idea generators. They soon came up with the idea for the YouTube website, but it was nothing like the website we know today.

#2 The story of YouTube is a great example of how focusing on the problem can lead you to find solutions. The website was initially created as a dating website, but when it was realized that the users were posting videos of themselves and their friends doing funny or embarrassing things, the company switched gears and began supporting video uploads.

#3 The YouTube Formula is a set of steps you can follow to gain success on YouTube. It consists of analyzing what's working and what's not, and making changes accordingly. This is the premise on which the whole book is built.

#4 The YouTube ecosystem is made up of many different parts, and each one affects the whole in some way. The creator, the viewer, the advertiser, the brand, copyright holders, and MCNs all contribute to the YouTube experience.
