Hi, I’m Gavin. I offer in-person YouTube coaching in Victoria BC for newly retired professionals and senior entrepreneurs who’d like to share their experience online but aren’t sure where to begin.

Over 1.1 Million Views On My Monetized YouTube Channel
No Pressure, Just An Easy Chat To See If This Fits
Does this sound familiar?
“I’m confident in my expertise, but technology overwhelms me.”
“There are too many platforms, cameras, microphones & editing tools.”
“I just want a clear, step by step way to finally start.”
Look, I get it…
You’re starting a new phase of life, or you’re an experienced entrepreneur and seeing how powerful video is, but the idea of showing up on YouTube and starting a channel is, frankly, overwhelming.
There are so many variables, tools and decisions.
Just the thought of starting can give you anxiety.
I know, because I lived it, for years!
But you don’t have to go through all that. I can help you navigate this journey so that you don’t have to expend enormous amounts of time, frustration and energy trying to figure it all on your own.
I can guide you through it.
How I You Help Start
Your YouTube Channel
Step 1 - Clarifying Your Message
We’ll start by identifying your message and who it is for.
Most people already have valuable knowledge, they just need help to shape it into clear videos.
Step 2 - Create A Simple Recording Setup
You don’t need complicated, expensive equipment.
I’ll help you choose a simple camera, microphone and lighting setup that works for you and your budget.
Step 3 - Record Your First Videos
I’ll guide you through how to structure your videos so you feel natural and comfortable on camera.
Step 4 - Setting Up and Publishing Your Channel
We set up your channel properly, learn to create effective thumbnails, titles and a simple editing process.
I’ll also show you how to keep things simple going forward.
No tech overwhelm. No guesswork. Just a clear path forward.
Why Work With Me?
Here’s what my experience looks like in practice.
I’ve built and monetized my own channel from the ground up.
I started where everyone else did, from zero.
I understand both sides of the process, the technical side of YouTube and the psychological and emotional side of putting yourself out there.
Over the last five years, I’ve also worked one-on-one with professionals and retirees in Victoria, helping them gain confidence with their technology, devices and online platforms.
Real Youtube Experience.
I’ve created videos that range from 50k to 500k views, that continue to generate traffic years after publishing.
I’ve also partnered with brands and businesses through
long-term, value-driven content.Deep understanding of filming, editing, thumbnails, and YouTube SEO.
