Start and Grow Your Model Railway YouTube Channel: 5 Day Bootcamp is best sold with a clear, scannable landing page that moves people from “interested” to “I can see myself doing this.” High‑performing course pages typically follow a consistent structure: bold promise, proof, clear outcomes, curriculum, logistics, FAQs, and a confident call to action. Below is a complete structure and draft text you can paste into your page builder and tweak with your own voice, screenshots and testimonials.​

1. Hero Section (Top of Page)

Goal: Make model railway fans instantly feel “This is for me” and see a concrete outcome.

Elements:

Headline:
Start and Grow Your Model Railway YouTube Channel in 5 Days

Subheadline:
A live, hands-on bootcamp for model railway enthusiasts who want to share their layouts on YouTube, grow an audience, and set the foundations for future monetisation – without needing fancy gear or editing experience.​

Key bullets (who it’s for):
Perfect for you if you:

  • Have a layout (or plans for one) and secretly want to start a YouTube channel but don’t know where to begin

  • Have uploaded a couple of random videos but there’s no strategy, structure or growth

  • Feel overwhelmed by filming, editing and upload settings – and keep putting it off

Primary Call to Action (button):
“Reserve Your Spot Now”

Secondary CTA (for scrollers):
“See What You’ll Learn Each Day”

You can also add a line about dates and format under the CTA, e.g.:
“Live online, 5 x 2‑hour sessions over one week – replays included.”​

2. “Imagine” Section (Benefits & Transformation)

Goal: Connect their current frustration to the transformation the bootcamp delivers. High‑performing pages focus on outcomes, not features.​

Section Title:
From “I Should Start a Channel” to “I’m a Creator”

Text:
Right now, you might be:

  • Filming the odd shaky clip of your trains and never uploading it

  • Watching other model railway channels grow and thinking “I could do that… one day”

  • Worried that your layout, your gear, or your skills “aren’t good enough”

By the end of this 5‑day bootcamp, you will:

  • Have a clear idea of what your channel is about, who it’s for, and how it should feel

  • Have filmed, edited and uploaded at least one complete video from your own layout

  • Know how to promote your videos, read your analytics and start planning monetisation – the right way for hobby content

CTA (inline):
“Join the Bootcamp – Start Building Your Channel”

3. What’s Included (Curriculum / Daily Breakdown)

Goal: Show the structure and reassure them that everything is covered step by step.

Section Title:
What We’ll Cover in 5 Days

You can format this as collapsible sections or simple blocks.

Day 1 – The Foundations of Your Channel

Focus: Know your why, who you’re talking to, and what tone your channel should have.​

  • Clarify your “why” so you stay motivated even when views dip

  • Define your ideal audience: scale, era, experience level and what they’re searching for

  • Choose the tone and personality of your channel so it feels authentic and consistent

  • Turn it all into a simple one‑page “Channel Blueprint” you can use to guide every video

Day 2 – Choosing & Filming Your First Video

Focus: Decide what to film and capture it with the gear you already have.​

  • Equipment basics: how to get great results from your phone, basic mic and lighting

  • Decide your first video: layout tour, show vlog, tutorial, review or interview

  • Storyboard and shot list: plan your video so filming feels organised, not stressful

  • Model train filming tips: angles, pans and close‑ups that make your layout look amazing

  • Bonus: Get the folder template used to keep files organised and stop your laptop from getting jam‑packed

Day 3 – Editing Your Video

Focus: Turn raw clips into a smooth, watchable video.

  • Choose beginner‑friendly editing software that works on your laptop

  • Learn the basics: trimming, rearranging clips and creating a clear story

  • Fix audio issues so your voice and layout sounds are clear and pleasant

  • Add music, text and simple effects without making your video feel cluttered

Day 4 – Uploading Basics & Thumbnails That Work

Focus: Upload the right way so YouTube and viewers actually find your video.​

  • Use Canva to create bold, simple thumbnails that get clicks

  • Understand key upload settings in YouTube Studio (what matters, what doesn’t)

  • Write titles and descriptions that speak directly to model railway fans

  • Follow an after‑upload checklist so your new video gets the best possible start

Day 5 – Growth, Promotion & Monetisation Foundations

Focus: Turn one video into a strategy for consistent growth and future income.​​

  • Promote your videos in the right places without feeling spammy

  • Learn simple growth habits: upload rhythm, end screens, comment replies

  • Understand YouTube Analytics so you know what’s working and what to improve

  • Explore monetisation options (ads, affiliates, sponsorships and more) and what’s realistic at each stage

CTA (after curriculum):
“See Dates & Reserve Your Place”

4. Format, Logistics & “How It Works”

Goal: Remove practical doubts – when, where, how, and what if they can’t attend live. Successful pages answer these before the FAQ.​

Section Title:
How the Bootcamp Works

Text:

  • Live sessions: 5 live sessions, 2 hours each, delivered online over one week

  • Replay access: If you can’t attend live, you’ll get access to the replay of each session

  • Community: Ask questions and share your progress with other model railway creators (e.g. via private Facebook group or community space)

  • Resources: Worksheets, shot lists, storyboards, upload checklists and the file‑organisation template are all included

You can add a mini “What you need” sub‑section:

  • A smartphone or basic camera

  • A computer or laptop to edit and upload

  • An existing layout, a work‑in‑progress, or even just a test plank

CTA:
“I’m In – Save My Spot”

5. Instructor / Credibility Section

Goal: Show why you’re the right person to teach this, specifically for model railway YouTube.

Section Title:
Meet Your Instructor

Text (adapt to your story):

You’ll be learning from a model railway YouTuber who understands both the hobby and the platform.

  • X+ years of model railway experience and active in the community

  • A growing channel sharing layouts, shows and tutorials, built from simple, repeatable systems

  • Experience filming in small hobby rooms, at shows and with everyday equipment – not a full studio

This isn’t generic YouTube advice. It’s tailored to model railway layouts, shows, exhibitions and the kinds of videos you already love to watch.​

Optionally add a small “Why this bootcamp exists” paragraph:

This bootcamp was created because so many hobbyists kept saying “I’d love to start a channel… but I don’t know where to start, and I don’t want to look silly.” The 5‑day format gives you just enough structure, support and accountability to finally hit upload.

6. Social Proof (Testimonials / Outcomes)

Goal: Show others like them succeeding. As you get real testimonials, drop them in here. High‑converting pages use short quotes next to names and layouts.​

Section Title:
What Other Hobbyists Are Saying

Placeholder quotes you can replace with real ones:

  • “I’d been putting this off for years – now I’ve got my first layout tour live and a list of videos planned.”

  • “The shot lists and folder template alone have saved me hours of faffing about with files.”

  • “I finally understand what all the YouTube settings mean, and my thumbnails look so much more professional.”

You can also include metrics later (e.g. “Gained 50 subscribers in a month after the bootcamp”) once you have them.

7. Pricing & Guarantee

Goal: Make the decision feel safe and straightforward.

Section Title:
Join the 5 Day Bootcamp

What to include:

  • Course name + one‑sentence benefit

  • Price (you can show a “regular value” vs “bootcamp price” if you like)

  • Bullet list of everything included

Example:

You get:

  • 5 x 2‑hour live training sessions (plus replays)

  • Worksheets, storyboards, shot lists and upload checklists

  • My file‑organisation folder template

  • Community support and Q&A during the bootcamp

If it fits your business, add a simple guarantee, e.g.:

If after attending the first live session you feel this bootcamp isn’t right for you, email within 24 hours and you’ll receive a full refund.

Final CTA (big button):
“Start and Grow Your Model Railway YouTube Channel”

8. FAQ Section

Goal: Overcome remaining objections (time, skill level, tech fear, “is my layout good enough?”).

Section Title:
Frequently Asked Questions

Example questions:

  • “I’m a complete beginner on YouTube – is this for me?”

  • “What if my layout isn’t finished / is very small?”

  • “What if I can’t make the live sessions?”

  • “Do I need expensive equipment?”

  • “Will this help if I already have a small channel?”

Answer each simply, reinforcing that the bootcamp is beginner‑friendly, hobby‑friendly and designed around basic gear and busy lives.​
