From 0 to MONETIZED in 28 Days! 🔥 (The Strategy That Changed My Life) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I just completed 4000 hours of watch
2. 0:02time on my YouTube channel. In just 28
3. 0:06days, my 4000 hours of watch time were
4. 0:09completed, as there are two criteria
5. 0:12for YouTube monetization. The first is
6. 0:154000 hours of watch time. The second is
7. 0:171000 subscribers. But no content
8. 0:20creator tells you how to actually
9. 0:22complete this in reality. Many new
10. 0:25content creators feel that this target
11. 0:27is very hard or even impossible. It is
12. 0:30a little hard. But if you have tips,
13. 0:33tricks, and a good roadmap, anyone can
14. 0:36complete everything. In this journey,
15. 0:40the mistakes I made, the tips I took,
16. 0:42and the tricks I used, I am going to
17. 0:44show and tell you all of that in this
18. 0:46video. So this video is going to be
19. 0:49very useful for those content creators
20. 0:51who genuinely want to monetize their
21. 0:53YouTube. I will not tell you anything
22. 0:56fake at all. And trust me, the last
23. 0:59point is very important. So don't miss
24. 1:02that at all. Take a diary and pen with
25. 1:06you and note down everything one by one
26. 1:09. You must have watched many videos and
27. 1:12had many confusions, but in this video,
28. 1:14all those confusions will be cleared.
29. 1:16So let's start the video. The biggest
30. 1:23mistake that every content creator is
31. 1:25making today. Do you know what people
32. 1:28think? That I will post Shorts every
33. 1:30day and my watch time will be completed
34. 1:32. My YouTube channel will get monetized
35. 1:35. That is why they are working so hard
36. 1:38for Shorts every day. They shoot Shorts
37. 1:40all day and then upload. This is a huge
38. 1:43myth. Only if your Shorts go
39. 1:46extraordinarily viral and get millions
40. 1:48of views will your YouTube account get
41. 1:51monetized. Not all Shorts get millions
42. 1:54of views. First, stop this myth or get
43. 1:57it out of your head that I will post
44. 2:00Shorts daily and my YouTube channel
45. 2:03will get monetized. Just by posting
46. 2:05Shorts, a YouTube channel does not get
47. 2:08monetized. I am not saying that you
48. 2:09should stop posting Shorts altogether.
49. 2:12Shorts also help in your YouTube
50. 2:14monetization. They bring you
51. 2:16subscribers. When you post Shorts, and
52. 2:19people like them, they subscribe to you
53. 2:22. And your 1000 subscriber criteria
54. 2:25gets completed quickly. Post Shorts,
55. 2:28but along with that, focus on long-form
56. 2:30videos as well. I will explain this to
57. 2:33you with my own story. Initially, I
58. 2:36used to post Reels on Instagram that
59. 2:38were motivational or related to quotes.
60. 2:41They were related to my lifestyle. I
61. 2:43got a very good response from people
62. 2:45there. Then I read the comments and
63. 2:48realized that people were suggesting I
64. 2:50post on YouTube as well. They said they
65. 2:53aren't always on Instagram or that they
66. 2:55want to watch me on YouTube. So I
67. 2:57thought, why not post on YouTube what I
68. 3:00am doing on Instagram? So I started by
69. 3:02posting Shorts. I started shooting and
70. 3:05posting the same types of videos on
71. 3:07YouTube that I used to post on
72. 3:08Instagram. Then I felt that I should
73. 3:11explain to people the growth I was
74. 3:13experiencing on Instagram. I wanted to
75. 3:15tell people because there are many
76. 3:16content creators like me who are in the
77. 3:18starting phase. They don't know what
78. 3:20they should do. How exactly do
79. 3:21followers come? What things should they
80. 3:25do to make their content creation
81. 3:28journey easier? That's why I started
82. 3:31posting videos about my entire
83. 3:34experience, many tips and tricks, my
84. 3:37setup, my camera, and my mic. And the
85. 3:40most important videos were on
86. 3:41scriptwriting, which mic to use, what
87. 3:43hooks to provide, and how to decide a
88. 3:46niche. I started posting all these
89. 3:48videos on my YouTube channel. And
90. 3:50slowly, people started liking them too.
91. 3:52If you want to watch those videos, I am
92. 3:54giving the link here. Click here and
93. 3:56make sure to watch them. Do you know
94. 3:58what happened because of this? I was
95. 3:59able to share my journey with people
96. 4:02because I couldn't explain much in
97. 4:05Shorts. Then I felt, why don't I just
98. 4:07start making long-form videos? I
99. 4:09wouldn't be able to explain things that
100. 4:10well in a Short. But if I made long
101. 4:13videos and was able to explain things,
102. 4:15it would help people. That's why I
103. 4:18started posting long videos. People
104. 4:21started liking them, and I started
105. 4:22getting views. One of my videos went
106. 4:25viral two weeks ago. People liked it a
107. 4:28lot. Recently, I posted a video
108. 4:31yesterday, and it already has over 90k
109. 4:34views today. That is why I say, keep
110. 4:36posting videos. Post long-form videos.
111. 4:38In the beginning, when I used to post
112. 4:40long videos, I would barely get 2,000
113. 4:42to 3,000 views. Back then, I didn't
114. 4:43even have many subscribers. I didn't
115. 4:45even have 1,000 subscribers. But I
116. 4:47never gave up. I tried working hard. I
117. 4:50remained very consistent. After that,
118. 4:53you have to post at least 10 to 12 long
119. 4:56videos. Only then will one of your
120. 4:58videos eventually go viral. Trust me,
121. 5:01if you post long-form videos, your
122. 5:03monetization process will be even
123. 5:05faster. What would take you a year will
124. 5:09be completed in 6 months or even 2
125. 5:11months. Don't rely entirely on Shorts.
126. 5:15I'm not saying that you should shoot
127. 5:17long-form videos every day. I know that
128. 5:20when we make long-form videos, there's
129. 5:21editing, scriptwriting, and shooting
130. 5:23involved. Sometimes there's background
131. 5:26noise. We aren't able to do it. At
132. 5:28least you'll be able to make one video
133. 5:29a week. Upload Shorts daily. Stay
134. 5:32active on YouTube. Post every single
135. 5:35day. But along with that, upload one or
136. 5:38two long-form videos a week. And as you
137. 5:41learn things like editing and
138. 5:43scriptwriting, shift to two videos.
139. 5:46Post two long-form videos a week. And
140. 5:48if you don't know all these things. If
141. 5:50you are very new to the content
142. 5:52creation journey, then ask me questions
143. 5:53in the comments. I will help you myself
144. 5:55. I will help you personally. And start
145. 5:59posting long-form videos. Even if you
146. 6:02haven't been doing it until now, start
147. 6:04today. This is a very important part of
148. 6:06the video now. Listen to this with
149. 6:08complete focus. Because I have already
150. 6:11told you what the mistakes are and what
151. 6:13you shouldn't do. But now I am going to
152. 6:16tell you what I actually did that
153. 6:19helped me complete 4,000 hours of watch
154. 6:23time in just four weeks. People take at
155. 6:27least a year or two to complete this
156. 6:29criteria. But what exactly did I do to
157. 6:33achieve this? Make sure to watch the
158. 6:36video until the end. The main,
159. 6:38important part of the video is starting
160. 6:40now. First of all, let's talk about
161. 6:42what I used to do. I think I opened my
162. 6:45YouTube channel in May. I created a new
163. 6:48account. I didn't use my old Google
164. 6:50account. I started everything from
165. 6:53scratch. Then I created the channel,
166. 6:55but I had no idea what to upload. And
167. 6:58at that time, I was also very lazy. I
168. 7:01didn't have time either because I was
169. 7:03already posting Reels. On Instagram, I
170. 7:06had editing and shooting to do, so I
171. 7:08didn't get any time. Then I thought,
172. 7:11why not post the same Shorts and Reels
173. 7:13that I upload on Instagram to YouTube?
174. 7:16I started uploading them. My old
175. 7:18subscribers know that what I posted
176. 7:21there, I posted here. I wasn't trying
177. 7:24anything new on YouTube. Then it
178. 7:26started getting views. It started
179. 7:28getting 1k to 2k views. And slowly, my
180. 7:31subscribers started growing too. And I
181. 7:33reached 500 to 700 subscribers. Then I
182. 7:37noticed that my YouTube wasn't growing
183. 7:40as fast as my Instagram was. Even after
184. 7:44reaching 700-800 subscribers at that
185. 7:46time, I didn't post long videos because
186. 7:48I was confident that my reels and
187. 7:51shorts would get me subscribers. My
188. 7:53account would get monetized. Then one
189. 7:55day I thought and analyzed what I
190. 7:58should do. And then I got an idea. Why
191. 8:01don't I help people? What I am posting
192. 8:03on Instagram. I should start posting my
193. 8:05Instagram journey on YouTube. I learned
194. 8:08editing. I knew how to edit shorts and
195. 8:10reels. I didn't know how to edit long
196. 8:13videos at all. Then I used many apps. I
197. 8:16learned a decent level of entry-level
198. 8:19editing. After that, I started writing
199. 8:21scripts myself. Writing scripts is very
200. 8:23important. Giving a hook is important.
201. 8:25Choosing your niche is important. All
202. 8:27these things have to be done in the
203. 8:29beginning. I did all those things. And
204. 8:31finally, one day I made a video. I am
205. 8:33honestly telling you, that video didn't
206. 8:35get many views. It was my first long
207. 8:37YouTube video, and even after posting
208. 8:39it, I didn't get many views, but some
209. 8:40did come. It got 500-600 views, but I
210. 8:43didn't get demotivated because I knew
211. 8:45it was my first video and it wouldn't
212. 8:48go viral. Views won't come suddenly.
213. 8:50After that, I slowly started making
214. 8:52more videos. For one or two months, I
215. 8:55posted long videos like that. Still, I
216. 8:59felt like I wasn't getting the number
217. 9:01of views I should have been getting.
218. 9:03Then I realized that I must be making a
219. 9:05mistake somewhere. I am making the
220. 9:07mistakes myself. So do you know what I
221. 9:09did? I simply opened my video. I
222. 9:12watched the whole video from start to
223. 9:14finish. And then I analyzed myself what
224. 9:17I could have said better in this video.
225. 9:21How I could have spoken better and what
226. 9:23better examples I could have given. Am
227. 9:25I connecting with people or not? I
228. 9:28analyzed all these things. Watching the
229. 9:31video with complete calm and focus.
230. 9:34Because these things are very important
231. 9:36, and if you are still watching, watch
232. 9:37till the end. Analysis was done. But
233. 9:40what changes should I make in myself
234. 9:42now? Because I had formed this routine
235. 9:44that yes, I have to write scripts like
236. 9:47this, edit like this, and upload like
237. 9:49this. But no, then I changed my
238. 9:51perspective. Then I changed my thinking
239. 9:54. Read a lot of good books. Watched a
240. 9:56lot of good videos. Content creators
241. 9:59who are in my niche. I watched all the
242. 10:03videos in my niche that went viral. I
243. 10:05am not saying that you should copy the
244. 10:07entire famous videos of others. No. But
245. 10:10you can take ideas from them. I tried
246. 10:12this myself. After that, I started
247. 10:15making videos again. I also made
248. 10:17changes to the editing. If you look at
249. 10:19my old videos for editing. There was a
250. 10:21different editing style there. I didn't
251. 10:22know how to edit that well back then.
252. 10:24And now I have learned editing. Started
253. 10:27doing good editing. And this all helped
254. 10:31me and resulted in crossing more than
255. 10:334,000 hours of watch time, which is now
256. 10:35complete. I will also put a screenshot
257. 10:38here. You can check it. I am not lying
258. 10:41at all. This has been completed. That's
259. 10:43why I am telling you. Then I realized
260. 10:45that the hard work I had been putting
261. 10:47in for two-three months, I guess I
262. 10:49couldn't do it at that time because I
263. 10:51wasn't better then. But if I hadn't
264. 10:54started or posted at that time, I
265. 10:56wouldn't have known. I wouldn't even
266. 10:59have videos to analyze what mistakes I
267. 11:01was making. That's why if you are in
268. 11:03the starting stage right now. Post it.
269. 11:05Whatever you know, post it. We can
270. 11:07analyze ourselves only after waiting a
271. 11:09while, right? Analyze it. Make small
272. 11:13changes to the content and quality.
273. 11:15Keep getting better and your watch time
274. 11:18will also be completed. Secondly, let's
275. 11:21talk about what massive change I made?
276. 11:23This is a very important point. Many
277. 11:25content creators ignore this. But if
278. 11:28you are watching this video, you won't.
279. 11:30At least not from today onwards. That
280. 11:32is the thumbnail. Your thumbnail
281. 11:34matters a lot. Your thumbnail matters
282. 11:37even more than your video does. Because
283. 11:40many people click on the video only
284. 11:42after seeing your thumbnail. And until
285. 11:45they tap, they won't see the video.
286. 11:48That's why keep your video title and
287. 11:50thumbnail very crisp, and try two or
288. 11:52three thumbnails. YouTube has an option
289. 11:55for that. It keeps changing and showing
290. 11:57two or three thumbnails to different
291. 11:59people. And the thumbnail that gets
292. 12:01more taps is what the algorithm
293. 12:03prioritizes. Use words in your
294. 12:04thumbnail. Show expressions. Use
295. 12:07expressions of shock, importance, or
296. 12:09confusion to create your thumbnails.
297. 12:13And add as many words as you can to the
298. 12:15thumbnail. Use good words. Use a good
299. 12:17font and keep it clear. That thumbnail
300. 12:19should look attractive to people. And
301. 12:22at first glance, they should feel that
302. 12:24yes, this video is worth watching. I
303. 12:26should watch this. That covers all
304. 12:29those things. I learned editing,
305. 12:30learned scriptwriting, changed
306. 12:32thumbnails, changed titles, and put in
307. 12:34so much effort. Still, I wasn't getting
308. 12:37views. Even after doing all of that.
309. 12:39And what I am telling you now is from
310. 12:42just a month ago. It's not like I'm
311. 12:44talking about a year ago. No, I still
312. 12:46wasn't getting views. Then I thought a
313. 12:49lot about why they weren't coming. Is
314. 12:51my content wrong, is my niche wrong, or
315. 12:53why aren't people liking it? Then I
316. 12:57opened my YouTube Studio, went into
317. 12:59analytics, and studied everything that
318. 13:02was happening. I knew that the
319. 13:05subscribers coming in, and I had
320. 13:07reached 1000 subscribers by then. The
321. 13:10first criteria was met. But the main
322. 13:13criteria, the 4000 hours of watch time,
323. 13:15wasn't being met. Then I realized that
324. 13:18all these subscribers were from my
325. 13:20Shorts. Then something clicked in my
326. 13:23mind. This is very important. Note it
327. 13:26down right now. It is: your long-form
328. 13:30viewers and short-form viewers are
329. 13:32always different. Highlight this line
330. 13:36somewhere. Many creators don't even
331. 13:39know about this myth. This is a simple
332. 13:41difference. Between long-form and
333. 13:43short-form. We should focus on
334. 13:46short-form. I'm not saying you should
335. 13:48ignore it completely. No, along with
336. 13:50that, you should also manage long-form
337. 13:53videos. And after knowing all these
338. 13:56things, I made changes to myself. I
339. 13:58started making videos keeping all these
340. 14:02things in mind. And finally, one of my
341. 14:05videos went viral. If you are still
342. 14:08watching the video, then definitely
343. 14:10note this point down. This is a very
344. 14:12important point. I could have said this
345. 14:14at the beginning, but I wanted to tell
346. 14:16this to real audiences, to real content
347. 14:19creators. I know many people won't even
348. 14:21be watching the video by now. They must
349. 14:24have left. But you are the one. Watch
350. 14:28this until the end. It’s a very
351. 14:29important point. Let’s talk about the
352. 14:32YouTube algorithm. Many content
353. 14:34creators don’t even talk about it.
354. 14:37You probably don't even know these
355. 14:38things. That’s why listen carefully.
356. 14:41YouTube is software made by humans that
357. 14:45runs entirely on mathematical methods.
358. 14:50If you understand YouTube's algorithm
359. 14:52and mathematics, all your videos will
360. 14:55go viral too. And this isn't anything
361. 14:59complicated or hard. It is a very easy
362. 15:02thing. First, let's talk about when you
363. 15:04upload a video to YouTube. After
364. 15:07uploading, you check how many views and
365. 15:09subscribers you got. But along with
366. 15:12that, YouTube also reviews your video.
367. 15:15YouTube also checks how many times this
368. 15:17video has been tapped. How many likes
369. 15:19and subscribers are coming in. How long
370. 15:22people are watching this video. If they
371. 15:24are watching it for a long time. The
372. 15:26engagement rate is high. Then YouTube
373. 15:29itself pushes your video. It sets the
374. 15:31algorithm itself. Your video goes into
375. 15:34everyone's feed. YouTube pushes it that
376. 15:38much more. If your content quality is
377. 15:41good, believe me. YouTube itself helps
378. 15:44you to get famous and go viral. I kept
379. 15:48this one thing in my mind and looked at
380. 15:51my niche closely. I helped YouTube
381. 15:54myself. I helped YouTube's algorithm
382. 15:57itself. I didn't confuse YouTube. I
383. 15:59stuck to one niche. I also made many
384. 16:03mistakes in the beginning. I made the
385. 16:06reels I started uploading on YouTube
386. 16:09private. I made all those shots private
387. 16:12. I had uploaded a cooking shot in
388. 16:14between, it didn't work either. I made
389. 16:16that private too. After that, I used to
390. 16:19show a little lifestyle, I made that
391. 16:21private too. Why? Because I felt I
392. 16:23shouldn't confuse YouTube. Shouldn't do
393. 16:25that, I felt. Because when I am showing
394. 16:27some lifestyle. Showing some cooking
395. 16:30and here in long videos I am explaining
396. 16:32to people. I am giving strategies to
397. 16:34people. Don't you think YouTube will
398. 16:36get confused? YouTube won't know if I
399. 16:39should show this to food audience,
400. 16:41lifestyle audience, or those who come
401. 16:44to learn value. Don't confuse YouTube.
402. 16:48Stick to one niche. Don't go and upload
403. 16:51cooking videos today. Yesterday you
404. 16:53posted a lifestyle video. The day
405. 16:54before, you posted gym motivation, and
406. 16:57so on. No, stick to one niche. Post
407. 17:00short-form and long-form content about
408. 17:02that only. You are showing something
409. 17:04different in shorts and something else
410. 17:06in long videos. Don't have a dual
411. 17:08personality. Whatever it is, keep it
412. 17:10consistent. This will help your videos
413. 17:13go viral. Look at this with an example.
414. 17:16There is a content creator who is
415. 17:18posting everything randomly. Went out
416. 17:20today, made a vlog. Made something in
417. 17:22the kitchen today, made a video of it.
418. 17:24Made a recipe video. Made gym videos.
419. 17:27They are posting, getting views,
420. 17:29subscribers, and watch time. No,
421. 17:31opposite to that, there is a creator
422. 17:34who is planning strategically. Their
423. 17:36niche, let's say it's about the gym.
424. 17:38Okay? It's about the gym. I am going to
425. 17:41the gym. I am showing its lifestyle.
426. 17:43About the gym, what clothes I wear,
427. 17:45which shoes I prefer? What exercises do
428. 17:48you do? How long do I exercise? What
429. 17:50all should one do? What all should one
430. 17:52eat? They are posting all these things.
431. 17:55Only then will the audience connect.
432. 17:57Because it is helpful for those who are
433. 17:58going to the gym. They know that this
434. 18:00person is posting about the gym. It
435. 18:02will help me, so they will subscribe.
436. 18:05They will watch your long videos as
437. 18:07well as short videos. If you have a
438. 18:09cooking channel, you are posting how to
439. 18:11cook. You are posting recipes. You are
440. 18:14posting new things. You are posting
441. 18:16cooking tips. How should one cook? What
442. 18:19tips should one use? How to make
443. 18:20something sweet? How to make something
444. 18:22spicy? You are posting everything. So,
445. 18:25someone who cooks will follow you. They
446. 18:28will watch your long videos. They will
447. 18:29watch your short videos. But if today
448. 18:31you posted gym, tomorrow cooking, and
449. 18:34the day after lifestyle, then who will
450. 18:36even follow you? Won't it just become a
451. 18:38complete mix? That is why stick to a
452. 18:41niche. Post the same content. First
453. 18:45find out what people like to watch from
454. 18:46you. What are people liking to watch?
455. 18:49Do this in the beginning. But if it's
456. 18:51been a month or two on YouTube, now
457. 18:53it's time to make them all private. I
458. 18:55also made many mistakes. I also posted
459. 18:57a lot of mixed content. But I made them
460. 19:00private. I came to one niche. I came to
461. 19:03one topic. I posted related content.
462. 19:06Then my YouTube channel got monetized.
463. 19:10It's very simple. It’s not hard at
464. 19:12all. If you understand this math, then
465. 19:15you can do it. And if you’re still
466. 19:18confused after watching this video, ask

471. 19:29complete your watch time hours criteria
472. 19:32as well. May your YouTube channel also
473. 19:35get monetized. Just within a single
474. 19:38month. Realistically, it could take a
475. 19:40year, but I want to shorten that
476. 19:42process. Just like I did it in a month,
477. 19:46you can too. If there’s any problem,
