Alan Spicer – UK Based YouTube Certified Expert, Father, Tea Drinker, Social Media Growth Management, Hobby Author, YouTube Educator, Cat Lover, and Stats Junky – that’s quite a long list of things to put on a business card, so let me give you some context…
My initial love affair with stats, social media, and web design started when I was 15 years old (many moons ago) when I founded and built a wrestling fan website. This community grew to over 16,000 rabid wrestling fans, sparking my love for stats, social media, and web development.
Spin forward a few years, and in 2007, I finally helped found a web development company. In the first few years, I was the ‘sales guy’ and ‘social media’ expert, but over time, as I fell in love with the industry, I started to learn more and more. This first love affair ended in an amicable split when I left the business to go freelance/self-employed—and I never looked back!
Then my soul mate found me… Social Media & YouTube!
In early spring 2012, my love of stats and social media finally led me to YouTube. This is the ultimate blend of Social Media Marketing, Community Building, and enough stats to drown in! Since then, I have made 3000+ videos, helped develop social media brands, and achieved millions of views for personal and client-based projects.
I can also proudly confirm that I am a UK-based, Fully Certified YouTube Consultant accredited by the YouTube Academy. YouTube Certification in YouTube Channel Growth, YouTube Asset Monetisation, and YouTube Content Ownership.
