CHICAGO - eTradeWire -- (Expedition Money) - Nov. 3, 2026 - Author and personal finance enthusiast Pete Waitzman is making his YouTube memoir, "The Accidental YouTuber: How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube," free on Amazon Kindle from Nov. 3 to Nov. 7. Its how-to companion, "The Intentional YouTuber: A Beginner's Step-by-Step Guide to Your First Video (and Beyond)," is available for $0.99 through a Kindle Countdown Deal from Nov. 3 to Nov. 9.

"The Accidental YouTuber" tells how Waitzman went from orphan to building a YouTube channel that earns a six-figure income. The book covers content strategies that resonate with an audience, how YouTube's monetization tools can become a sustainable income, pitfalls to avoid and the mindset shifts creators need. It holds a 4.6-star rating from 45 reviews on Amazon.

"The Intentional YouTuber" is written for people who have been "meaning to start" a channel for years. Waitzman, who started with zero subscribers while holding down a normal job and raising a family, walks readers step by step to their first published video. Topics include starting with the phone already in your pocket, finding an idea, good-enough filming, lighting and audio, editing, thumbnails, honest titles, and how YouTube income works through ads and sponsorships.
