Hi All! I am George Pierce, I have been using YouTube to generate free traffic for about 14 years. YouTube has been around for about 18 years, so I am guilty of not jumping on YouTube right away. If you are not using YT, you probably have the same good reasons that I did. I believe that the biggest EXCUSES for not getting on YouTube are that you are too busy, or it is too technical, or it is too expensive, or too difficult, or you do not want to be on camera. I may have had a few other (not so) good reasons for not using YT, but, once I got on YT, I discovered that I was WRONG!
EASY!
YT is sincerely easy, setting up a new channel is something anyone can do and YT makes it almost as easy as logging in.
FREE!
There are all kinds of great resources and tools that you can use at zero cost. Just a few examples are Powtoons, Renderforest, and editors such as ClipChanp and OpenShot.
NO Skills Needed!
The tools mentioned above do all the work. Powtoons and Renderforest will even provide you with a storyline, in other words, an already-made video, all you need to do is customize.
No Need To Be On Camera!
Of course, you can be on camera if you want, but, if being on camera is a deal breaker, not a problem. There are free stock video sites such as Pixabay and Pexels that have thousands of videos that you can use for free and with no need for attribution. You can use their clips as your own, to create your videos fast and easily.
Too Busy!
That is an excuse that is often a question of priorities, and you should consider changing them to include YT. YouTube is an extraordinary website and an extraordinary source of free traffic. YouTube gets over 122 Million visitors per day and those visitors watch over 250 million hours of video per day. So tapping into YouTube traffic is a must.
Do not delay, YT is probably the best source of free traffic on the Internet. And...once you tap into YT, you can also add additional video traffic sources such as FB reels, TikTok, IG, and Pinterest. That is just too much free traffic to ignore.
Thank you for reading,
Much success.
George Pierce
PS. There is another way to use YT, using an adaptation of the Faceless Video Strategy. I am using it, and my latest channel which is ten weeks old has hit 70K views, and 50K views in the last 28 days, I have created a free Faceless Video Training video, in which I lay out three steps that anyone can follow and all at no cost.

Congratulations George Pierce on your achievement on Youtube. You deserve it my friend and I know you're getting rewarded nicely for your efforts in growing your channel. You're giving people what the want and that's always a plus for you. Keep it moving George because you're a go-giver and happy to do whatever you can to help those who need it. Thank you for your content contribution here on SE.
With my Faceless Video strategy, I am using my website knowledge, and trying to adapt it to YT for channel growth rather than traffic. There is still so much to learn, the best part is that I am enjoying it. When I was new, finding something that worked, anything that worked seemed almost impossible, so I share what has worked for me, and it should work for others. Thank you, Terri.
This is a good source of traffic, especially since it is tied to Google itself.
They say the easiest way to get on page one of Google is by way of YT, which is true. Thank you, John.
