VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans. Instead, VidSummit is where you become an industry insider. Without the fans at the event, influencers share the truth of what they do - the truth they would never share online. In other words, VidSummit is the only event where dozens of the top 1% of influencers show you how to get fans fast, build a brand, and make millions from your content.

Don’t let your YouTube Channel get hacked!

YouTube Creators are making a critical mistake – thinking that 2-factor authentication is keeping their YouTube channel safe from hackers. This is NOT true. Hackers are easily able to get around passwords and 2-factor authentication which means that at any point, they are able to lock YouTubers out of their own channels. Currently, there are countless YouTube channels FOR SALE on the Dark Web and the owners of those channels are not aware that they have been hacked. In this presentation, Liron will expose how hackers are able to access protected channels, and what every YouTube Creator needs to do to secure their channel and protect their YouTube business!

Workshop - Five Video Creation Workflows For Speedy, Consistent, and Polished Videos

For Video Creators, income is driven by engagement. You're making content to get viewers to follow, like, and subscribe to your channel. Ultimately you are looking to increase your watch time, and to do that you need to be creating and posting content consistently. With the high demand for content, the constraint for most Creators is time. Time is needed to hone your brand, conceptualize and plan your content, record your videos, and to edit that recording. Editing can be a huge time-suck, and in the past has required a great deal of technical know-how. Join Matt Pierce and Joe Dearman as they highlight five easy video creation workflows for making YouTube Content with drastically reduced editing time. Using Camtasia and Audiate, Matt and Joe will walk through five common content types and demonstrate how to create consistent, polished videos in minutes. Whether you're making reaction videos, screen recordings, TikToks, or YouTube shorts, we’ll show you how to more efficiently produce the video you need. Leveraging Camasia’s newest workflow feature Rev, creating great content can be as easy as click, click, done. *As a bonus, everyone who attends this workshop will receive an exclusive early-release license of Camtasia (two weeks before its public debut), as well as access to Audiate and Assets.
