  1. 0:00in this video I'm going to reveal
  2. 0:01everything that I've learned from
  3. 0:02uploading for one full month on a brand
  4. 0:05new YouTube channel I'm going to talk
  5. 0:06about what has worked what hasn't worked
  6. 0:08and how you can see success faster hello
  7. 0:11my name is Austin godbout with Alston
  8. 0:13godbolt.com I create content to help you
  9. 0:15make money online now this is a part of
  10. 0:18a 52-week series where I show you how to
  11. 0:20go from 0 to 10K per month with a brand
  12. 0:23new YouTube channel now this video is
  13. 0:26basically part of a video that I've
  14. 0:28already completed for my Discord I do
  15. 0:30have a private Discord that shows people
  16. 0:32behind the scenes of this brand new
  17. 0:34YouTube channel you're going to see the
  18. 0:35channel name you're going to see the
  19. 0:36uploads you're going to see everything
  20. 0:37now the up the the Discord is a paid
  21. 0:40Discord it's 9.99 per month I am not
  22. 0:43using the paid Discord to prove that I
  23. 0:45can make money with this YouTube channel
  24. 0:46it's basically designed to keep the
  25. 0:48riffraff out what I'm doing is I'm
  26. 0:50actually going to give all that money
  27. 0:51away back to the people that are within
  28. 0:53the Discord after the 52 weeks as a way
  29. 0:56of saying thank you and they can
  30. 0:58actually make more money than what they
  31. 1:00paid in so let's get right into it
  32. 1:02everything that I've learned
  33. 1:04a few things that I've learned is
  34. 1:06YouTube shorts are incredibly powerful
  35. 1:09obviously without YouTube shorts I would
  36. 1:12have maybe one or two subscribers but
  37. 1:14what I've noticed is that YouTube shorts
  38. 1:16is a real main driver for my content it
  39. 1:19is driving other long form content and
  40. 1:22short form content and what I'm doing is
  41. 1:24basically just taking pieces of my long
  42. 1:26form videos from this the same account
  43. 1:29and I'm uploading them people seem to
  44. 1:31really resonate with them the other
  45. 1:32weird thing with YouTube shorts is the
  46. 1:34videos get a lot of downvotes so what
  47. 1:36happens is these YouTube shorts are just
  48. 1:37getting thrown in front of anybody and
  49. 1:39everybody at this point and people that
  50. 1:42have no interest in this Niche or in
  51. 1:44this space are down voting even if it's
  52. 1:47a good video okay these some of these
  53. 1:48videos have over 1100 views they have
  54. 1:52um nine likes and three dislikes for a
  55. 1:56pretty you know decent video and so
  56. 1:58while YouTube shorts are very powerful
  57. 2:01and it's going to be a real big driver
  58. 2:03for your brand new YouTube video don't
  59. 2:06get discouraged by the number of
  60. 2:07downvotes the downvotes don't matter
  61. 2:08just keep uploading another thing that
  62. 2:11I've realized is that a lot of people
  63. 2:13will tell you a lot of YouTube experts
  64. 2:15will tell you the first 24 hours are
  65. 2:18really important there are a couple
  66. 2:19videos that I've noticed have gotten a
  67. 2:22ton of traction on day two okay so after
  68. 2:25the first day of not getting any views
  69. 2:28at all or maybe five views
  70. 2:30um I've noticed that
  71. 2:31a lot of these videos are getting day
  72. 2:34two day three Traction in fact one of
  73. 2:36the videos one of my long form videos
  74. 2:38that has 200 300 views saw most of its
  75. 2:42traction on day two three and four so
  76. 2:44what a lot of people are telling you is
  77. 2:47outdated and it's going off of things
  78. 2:50that happened or were relevant in the
  79. 2:52past and part of the reason why I've
  80. 2:54created this brand new account is so
  81. 2:56that we can talk about what's working
  82. 2:58currently okay a lot of the experts in
  83. 3:01YouTube and I guess Tick Tock as well
  84. 3:02are talking about things that worked two
  85. 3:05three four five years ago two years ago
  86. 3:08you know the first 24 hours was really
  87. 3:10important but now because
  88. 3:13YouTube has a very good idea of who's
  89. 3:16going to be interested in this content
  90. 3:18they will find people on day two win
  91. 3:21three and four and try and get that
  92. 3:23video to them okay one very important
  93. 3:25thing is your video your audience Size
  94. 3:27Doesn't Matter I only have 17
  95. 3:29subscribers on this channel however like
  96. 3:32I said some of my videos I have a long
  97. 3:34form video that has over 200 300 views a
  98. 3:38lot of my YouTube shorts which I upload
  99. 3:40every single day a number of them have a
  100. 3:42thousand plus views so don't be
  101. 3:44discouraged if you are just getting
  102. 3:46started and you feel like you're not
  103. 3:48getting any views and you're getting
  104. 3:49frustrated we're all in that we were all
  105. 3:52in that spot at one point but it's going
  106. 3:54to be important to just keep uploading
  107. 3:56okay another thing that I noticed and
  108. 3:59this is going to be pretty obvious is
  109. 4:01the thumbnail is really important you
  110. 4:04have to make your thumbnail very similar
  111. 4:05to the other thumbnails that are within
  112. 4:08the space okay you don't want to copy
  113. 4:10the exact same thumbnail but what I
  114. 4:12notice is if something those that work
  115. 4:14really well are thumbnails that are very
  116. 4:17similar to the thumbnails that are
  117. 4:19already in the space another
  118. 4:20misconception that people are telling
  119. 4:22you the YouTube experts are telling you
  120. 4:24is that you have to show your face in
  121. 4:28your videos and I in my in your
  122. 4:30thumbnails and the thumbnail that I did
  123. 4:33that in actually performed worse than
  124. 4:35all of my other long-form content so
  125. 4:38make sure that you spend some time
  126. 4:40looking at the other thumbnails that are
  127. 4:41already in your space and you want to
  128. 4:43create
  129. 4:44thumbnails that are very similar to that
  130. 4:47now I'm not telling you to copy other
  131. 4:49people's thumbnails but just know that
  132. 4:51it's going to help with the The View
  133. 4:54duration another thing that I noticed is
  134. 4:56watch time you know if you can get 30 40
  135. 5:00watch time or better your videos are
  136. 5:03going to do fairly well another tip that
  137. 5:05I have for you is try and show up on the
  138. 5:08home feed okay don't try and go for
  139. 5:11search when I tried for search I didn't
  140. 5:14get very good views I didn't have very
  141. 5:17high views however when I created videos
  142. 5:21with the showing up and recommendations
  143. 5:23in mind those videos actually did very
  144. 5:25well and there's a very big contrast
  145. 5:27between the videos that show up
  146. 5:30um recommended those get a lot of views
  147. 5:32and the ones that don't those don't get
  148. 5:34as many views and that's evident in the
  149. 5:37content so again
  150. 5:39keep posting
  151. 5:41it may not feel like it's working in the
  152. 5:43very beginning and that's okay but you
  153. 5:46have to keep posting so that one of
  154. 5:49those are going to hit
  155. 5:50and when one of those hit try and figure
  156. 5:52out why that worked well and keep
  157. 5:55replicating that thing okay again
  158. 5:59one of the things that I've learned is
  159. 6:02and this is true for for literally
  160. 6:04anything the 80 20 rule 20 percent of
  161. 6:08your efforts are going to produce or
  162. 6:10yield eighty percent of the results and
  163. 6:12so for you to get to the 80 20 faster
  164. 6:15you want to make sure that you keep
  165. 6:16uploading videos and I've actually
  166. 6:18inside my paid Discord group I've
  167. 6:21actually come up with a few ideas to
  168. 6:22help give myself a better chance of
  169. 6:25being successful
  170. 6:27um as I mentioned one of the things is
  171. 6:28is with my thumbnails I want to improve
  172. 6:30my thumbnails I'm going to remaster or
  173. 6:33re-edit a few videos because I think
  174. 6:35that a video that could have done well I
  175. 6:38didn't edit it properly and a lot of
  176. 6:40people left within the first 30 seconds
  177. 6:42if if you can get people to hang on past
  178. 6:44the 30 seconds if you can get 65 percent
  179. 6:47of the people hang on past 30 seconds
  180. 6:48those videos are going to do very well
  181. 6:50the video that did very poorly a lot of
  182. 6:53people left like 75 percent of the
  183. 6:56people left within the first 30 seconds
  184. 6:59so
  185. 7:00um some of what people are telling you
  186. 7:01is true a lot of what people are telling
  187. 7:04you is old outdated information the
  188. 7:07outdated information the first 24 hours
  189. 7:09are critical I don't think that's the
  190. 7:11case anymore you want to make sure that
  191. 7:13your thumbnails are just like the
  192. 7:16thumbnails that are already in the space
  193. 7:18people that tell you that your face has
  194. 7:21to be on the thumbnail that's old
  195. 7:22outdated information make sure your
  196. 7:26thumbnail is
  197. 7:27um in line or you know similar to what's
  198. 7:30already working in the space take some
  199. 7:32time to look and see what's already
  200. 7:34working
  201. 7:35but you want to make sure that you keep
  202. 7:38uploading it's going to be frustrating
  203. 7:40in the very beginning I also recommend
  204. 7:42that you upload a YouTube short every
  205. 7:45single day and don't look at the
  206. 7:47dislikes they're going to be people that
  207. 7:49just dislike stuff because they're
  208. 7:51jealous or frustrated or angry or they
  209. 7:54just don't want to see your content
  210. 7:55that's fine keep uploading that's going
  211. 7:57to be my best advice to you is to upload
  212. 8:00through it you're going to have days
  213. 8:01where you feel like nothing's working
  214. 8:03that's going to be the day where you
  215. 8:05want to make sure that you upload
  216. 8:06something to keep the momentum keep the
  217. 8:10the encouragement keep focus and and
  218. 8:13you're going to be on the road to
  219. 8:14success some other challenges that I'm
  220. 8:16running into I still don't have any
  221. 8:19email subscribers but that's fine I can
  222. 8:22make a stronger or better call to action
  223. 8:24I should add a call to action to the
  224. 8:26front and end of my all of my videos
  225. 8:28with um something that they're going to
  226. 8:30be interested in and you also have to
  227. 8:32understand what your target audience
  228. 8:34wants and needs are you might be
  229. 8:36thinking that your target audience is
  230. 8:38interested in one thing where and I'm
  231. 8:41trying to be as vague as possible so
  232. 8:42that I don't give away my Niche or my my
  233. 8:44channel but their interest in your
  234. 8:47content might be something completely
  235. 8:48different for example you might be
  236. 8:51thinking you are providing educational
  237. 8:52content where in reality you are
  238. 8:55providing entertainment content and if
  239. 8:57that's the case your thought process on
  240. 9:00the back end has to be different and it
  241. 9:02has to change the way that you plan on
  242. 9:04monetizing will be different and will
  243. 9:07have to change so make sure that you are
  244. 9:09continuously learning and thinking about
  245. 9:12your your channel your objectives and
  246. 9:15what your target audience is getting out
  247. 9:17of it
  248. 9:18um right now I believe that I'm
  249. 9:20providing educational content but I
  250. 9:23might be in fact providing entertainment
  251. 9:26and like
  252. 9:28um yeah entertainment content and so my
  253. 9:31mind is strategy is going to have to
  254. 9:33change because affiliate marketing might
  255. 9:36be different based on what my end user
  256. 9:39wants and needs and and that's true for
  257. 9:41any YouTube channel you have to
  258. 9:43understand what your your target
  259. 9:44audience wants and needs are another
  260. 9:46thing that's important and this ties
  261. 9:47into what I've been talking about before
  262. 9:49is actually with your thumbnail you you
  263. 9:51want to make sure that your CTR or
  264. 9:53click-through rate is at least six when
  265. 9:56I see that my click-through rate is at 9
  266. 9:58or 10 that is where I get a bunch of
  267. 10:01views so that means
  268. 10:03um 10 out of one or 10 out of every 100
  269. 10:05people have seen my thumbnail and have
  270. 10:08elected to click uh click through rate
  271. 10:10of of 10 or better is is virality you
  272. 10:14want to shoot for five to ten that seems
  273. 10:16to be pretty good results now again if
  274. 10:18you want to join the paid Discord click
  275. 10:20the second link in the description I I
