- 0:00in this video I'm going to reveal
- 0:01everything that I've learned from
- 0:02uploading for one full month on a brand
- 0:05new YouTube channel I'm going to talk
- 0:06about what has worked what hasn't worked
- 0:08and how you can see success faster hello
- 0:11my name is Austin godbout with Alston
- 0:13godbolt.com I create content to help you
- 0:15make money online now this is a part of
- 0:18a 52-week series where I show you how to
- 0:20go from 0 to 10K per month with a brand
- 0:23new YouTube channel now this video is
- 0:26basically part of a video that I've
- 0:28already completed for my Discord I do
- 0:30have a private Discord that shows people
- 0:32behind the scenes of this brand new
- 0:34YouTube channel you're going to see the
- 0:35channel name you're going to see the
- 0:36uploads you're going to see everything
- 0:37now the up the the Discord is a paid
- 0:40Discord it's 9.99 per month I am not
- 0:43using the paid Discord to prove that I
- 0:45can make money with this YouTube channel
- 0:46it's basically designed to keep the
- 0:48riffraff out what I'm doing is I'm
- 0:50actually going to give all that money
- 0:51away back to the people that are within
- 0:53the Discord after the 52 weeks as a way
- 0:56of saying thank you and they can
- 0:58actually make more money than what they
- 1:00paid in so let's get right into it
- 1:02everything that I've learned
- 1:04a few things that I've learned is
- 1:06YouTube shorts are incredibly powerful
- 1:09obviously without YouTube shorts I would
- 1:12have maybe one or two subscribers but
- 1:14what I've noticed is that YouTube shorts
- 1:16is a real main driver for my content it
- 1:19is driving other long form content and
- 1:22short form content and what I'm doing is
- 1:24basically just taking pieces of my long
- 1:26form videos from this the same account
- 1:29and I'm uploading them people seem to
- 1:31really resonate with them the other
- 1:32weird thing with YouTube shorts is the
- 1:34videos get a lot of downvotes so what
- 1:36happens is these YouTube shorts are just
- 1:37getting thrown in front of anybody and
- 1:39everybody at this point and people that
- 1:42have no interest in this Niche or in
- 1:44this space are down voting even if it's
- 1:47a good video okay these some of these
- 1:48videos have over 1100 views they have
- 1:52um nine likes and three dislikes for a
- 1:56pretty you know decent video and so
- 1:58while YouTube shorts are very powerful
- 2:01and it's going to be a real big driver
- 2:03for your brand new YouTube video don't
- 2:06get discouraged by the number of
- 2:07downvotes the downvotes don't matter
- 2:08just keep uploading another thing that
- 2:11I've realized is that a lot of people
- 2:13will tell you a lot of YouTube experts
- 2:15will tell you the first 24 hours are
- 2:18really important there are a couple
- 2:19videos that I've noticed have gotten a
- 2:22ton of traction on day two okay so after
- 2:25the first day of not getting any views
- 2:28at all or maybe five views
- 2:30um I've noticed that
- 2:31a lot of these videos are getting day
- 2:34two day three Traction in fact one of
- 2:36the videos one of my long form videos
- 2:38that has 200 300 views saw most of its
- 2:42traction on day two three and four so
- 2:44what a lot of people are telling you is
- 2:47outdated and it's going off of things
- 2:50that happened or were relevant in the
- 2:52past and part of the reason why I've
- 2:54created this brand new account is so
- 2:56that we can talk about what's working
- 2:58currently okay a lot of the experts in
- 3:01YouTube and I guess Tick Tock as well
- 3:02are talking about things that worked two
- 3:05three four five years ago two years ago
- 3:08you know the first 24 hours was really
- 3:10important but now because
- 3:13YouTube has a very good idea of who's
- 3:16going to be interested in this content
- 3:18they will find people on day two win
- 3:21three and four and try and get that
- 3:23video to them okay one very important
- 3:25thing is your video your audience Size
- 3:27Doesn't Matter I only have 17
- 3:29subscribers on this channel however like
- 3:32I said some of my videos I have a long
- 3:34form video that has over 200 300 views a
- 3:38lot of my YouTube shorts which I upload
- 3:40every single day a number of them have a
- 3:42thousand plus views so don't be
- 3:44discouraged if you are just getting
- 3:46started and you feel like you're not
- 3:48getting any views and you're getting
- 3:49frustrated we're all in that we were all
- 3:52in that spot at one point but it's going
- 3:54to be important to just keep uploading
- 3:56okay another thing that I noticed and
- 3:59this is going to be pretty obvious is
- 4:01the thumbnail is really important you
- 4:04have to make your thumbnail very similar
- 4:05to the other thumbnails that are within
- 4:08the space okay you don't want to copy
- 4:10the exact same thumbnail but what I
- 4:12notice is if something those that work
- 4:14really well are thumbnails that are very
- 4:17similar to the thumbnails that are
- 4:19already in the space another
- 4:20misconception that people are telling
- 4:22you the YouTube experts are telling you
- 4:24is that you have to show your face in
- 4:28your videos and I in my in your
- 4:30thumbnails and the thumbnail that I did
- 4:33that in actually performed worse than
- 4:35all of my other long-form content so
- 4:38make sure that you spend some time
- 4:40looking at the other thumbnails that are
- 4:41already in your space and you want to
- 4:43create
- 4:44thumbnails that are very similar to that
- 4:47now I'm not telling you to copy other
- 4:49people's thumbnails but just know that
- 4:51it's going to help with the The View
- 4:54duration another thing that I noticed is
- 4:56watch time you know if you can get 30 40
- 5:00watch time or better your videos are
- 5:03going to do fairly well another tip that
- 5:05I have for you is try and show up on the
- 5:08home feed okay don't try and go for
- 5:11search when I tried for search I didn't
- 5:14get very good views I didn't have very
- 5:17high views however when I created videos
- 5:21with the showing up and recommendations
- 5:23in mind those videos actually did very
- 5:25well and there's a very big contrast
- 5:27between the videos that show up
- 5:30um recommended those get a lot of views
- 5:32and the ones that don't those don't get
- 5:34as many views and that's evident in the
- 5:37content so again
- 5:39keep posting
- 5:41it may not feel like it's working in the
- 5:43very beginning and that's okay but you
- 5:46have to keep posting so that one of
- 5:49those are going to hit
- 5:50and when one of those hit try and figure
- 5:52out why that worked well and keep
- 5:55replicating that thing okay again
- 5:59one of the things that I've learned is
- 6:02and this is true for for literally
- 6:04anything the 80 20 rule 20 percent of
- 6:08your efforts are going to produce or
- 6:10yield eighty percent of the results and
- 6:12so for you to get to the 80 20 faster
- 6:15you want to make sure that you keep
- 6:16uploading videos and I've actually
- 6:18inside my paid Discord group I've
- 6:21actually come up with a few ideas to
- 6:22help give myself a better chance of
- 6:25being successful
- 6:27um as I mentioned one of the things is
- 6:28is with my thumbnails I want to improve
- 6:30my thumbnails I'm going to remaster or
- 6:33re-edit a few videos because I think
- 6:35that a video that could have done well I
- 6:38didn't edit it properly and a lot of
- 6:40people left within the first 30 seconds
- 6:42if if you can get people to hang on past
- 6:44the 30 seconds if you can get 65 percent
- 6:47of the people hang on past 30 seconds
- 6:48those videos are going to do very well
- 6:50the video that did very poorly a lot of
- 6:53people left like 75 percent of the
- 6:56people left within the first 30 seconds
- 6:59so
- 7:00um some of what people are telling you
- 7:01is true a lot of what people are telling
- 7:04you is old outdated information the
- 7:07outdated information the first 24 hours
- 7:09are critical I don't think that's the
- 7:11case anymore you want to make sure that
- 7:13your thumbnails are just like the
- 7:16thumbnails that are already in the space
- 7:18people that tell you that your face has
- 7:21to be on the thumbnail that's old
- 7:22outdated information make sure your
- 7:26thumbnail is
- 7:27um in line or you know similar to what's
- 7:30already working in the space take some
- 7:32time to look and see what's already
- 7:34working
- 7:35but you want to make sure that you keep
- 7:38uploading it's going to be frustrating
- 7:40in the very beginning I also recommend
- 7:42that you upload a YouTube short every
- 7:45single day and don't look at the
- 7:47dislikes they're going to be people that
- 7:49just dislike stuff because they're
- 7:51jealous or frustrated or angry or they
- 7:54just don't want to see your content
- 7:55that's fine keep uploading that's going
- 7:57to be my best advice to you is to upload
- 8:00through it you're going to have days
- 8:01where you feel like nothing's working
- 8:03that's going to be the day where you
- 8:05want to make sure that you upload
- 8:06something to keep the momentum keep the
- 8:10the encouragement keep focus and and
- 8:13you're going to be on the road to
- 8:14success some other challenges that I'm
- 8:16running into I still don't have any
- 8:19email subscribers but that's fine I can
- 8:22make a stronger or better call to action
- 8:24I should add a call to action to the
- 8:26front and end of my all of my videos
- 8:28with um something that they're going to
- 8:30be interested in and you also have to
- 8:32understand what your target audience
- 8:34wants and needs are you might be
- 8:36thinking that your target audience is
- 8:38interested in one thing where and I'm
- 8:41trying to be as vague as possible so
- 8:42that I don't give away my Niche or my my
- 8:44channel but their interest in your
- 8:47content might be something completely
- 8:48different for example you might be
- 8:51thinking you are providing educational
- 8:52content where in reality you are
- 8:55providing entertainment content and if
- 8:57that's the case your thought process on
- 9:00the back end has to be different and it
- 9:02has to change the way that you plan on
- 9:04monetizing will be different and will
- 9:07have to change so make sure that you are
- 9:09continuously learning and thinking about
- 9:12your your channel your objectives and
- 9:15what your target audience is getting out
- 9:17of it
- 9:18um right now I believe that I'm
- 9:20providing educational content but I
- 9:23might be in fact providing entertainment
- 9:26and like
- 9:28um yeah entertainment content and so my
- 9:31mind is strategy is going to have to
- 9:33change because affiliate marketing might
- 9:36be different based on what my end user
- 9:39wants and needs and and that's true for
- 9:41any YouTube channel you have to
- 9:43understand what your your target
- 9:44audience wants and needs are another
- 9:46thing that's important and this ties
- 9:47into what I've been talking about before
- 9:49is actually with your thumbnail you you
- 9:51want to make sure that your CTR or
- 9:53click-through rate is at least six when
- 9:56I see that my click-through rate is at 9
- 9:58or 10 that is where I get a bunch of
- 10:01views so that means
- 10:03um 10 out of one or 10 out of every 100
- 10:05people have seen my thumbnail and have
- 10:08elected to click uh click through rate
- 10:10of of 10 or better is is virality you
- 10:14want to shoot for five to ten that seems
- 10:16to be pretty good results now again if
- 10:18you want to join the paid Discord click
- 10:20the second link in the description I I
- 10:22won't be as vague you'll see the channel
- 10:25you'll see the channel name you'll see
- 10:27how I'm planning to monetize it you'll
- 10:29actually get weekly updates and you'll
- 10:31get more behind the scenes information I
- 10:34engage in there I answer questions about
- 10:36different topics that's the probably one
- 10:39of the best places to learn about
- 10:41YouTube through that paid Discord and
- 10:44again you're actually going to have an
- 10:45option to earn or win your money back
- 10:48with a raffle at the end of the 52 weeks
- 10:51watch this video next because YouTube
- 10:53tells you that it's important for your
- 10:55online business
