Full transcript

1. 0:00After making hundreds of shorts, I've
2. 0:02learned exactly how to source content
3. 0:03for my YouTube shorts. Today, I'm going
4. 0:05to show you the four methods that I use
5. 0:06to source content for viral shorts.
6. 0:12Yo, what's going on YouTube? It's your
7. 0:13boy Halls. Welcome back to another
8. 0:15video. Today, I'm just going to be doing
9. 0:17a little sit down little yap video um
10. 0:19and showing you guys how to actually
11. 0:21source content for your YouTube shorts.
12. 0:23So, if you're watching this video, you
13. 0:24probably started up a YouTube shorts uh
14. 0:27channel, but you don't know how to
15. 0:29actually source your content. And this
16. 0:30is a question that I have gotten so much
17. 0:33like, "Yo, Halls, how do I actually get
18. 0:34the content to edit? Halls, I started a
19. 0:36channel, but I don't know where to get
20. 0:37my content." Um, so I'm going to be
21. 0:40going over the four methods that I have
22. 0:42been using um to actually source my
23. 0:44content. So, in Halls Academy, I
24. 0:46actually made a whole guide about it,
25. 0:48but I want to share it to you guys um
26. 0:50here on the channel. Um, as you can see,
27. 0:52you guys are killing it. So, yeah. Like
28. 0:55I said, this video is for you guys that
29. 0:56want to learn how to actually source the
30. 0:59content. So, let's get into it. Before

51. 1:39because the AI will just automatically
52. 1:41make a short video for you. And the best

63. 2:02it's too late. The link will be down in
64. 2:03the description, and you can use the
65. 2:04code halls for 10% off. But yeah, let's
66. 2:07get right into the video. Method number
67. 2:09one, and this is a method that I
68. 2:11actually talked about like two videos
69. 2:13ago, which is where I showed you guys
70. 2:14how I made $500 from a single YouTube
71. 2:16short. and it was the method that I
72. 2:19used. And this is basically going into
73. 2:20the credits. So, right now I'm on my
74. 2:22burner account. And this account is
75. 2:24really where I just source um or get
76. 2:26ideas for YouTube shorts that I can
77. 2:28make. And you'll see that if you click
78. 2:30on the three dots and then go to
79. 2:31description, a lot of people will
80. 2:33actually credit the original video. So,
81. 2:35let's say you want to use this video
82. 2:36right here and make your own short about
83. 2:38it. Um you can go to the uh to three
84. 2:42dots, go to the description, and then a
85. 2:44lot of people will actually credit the
86. 2:46original. So you don't have to go out
87. 2:48and like find it yourself, right? Which
88. 2:50if they don't, I'm going to be sharing
89. 2:52methods for that as well later on in the
90. 2:54video. But this is the easiest way.
91. 2:56Literally just people will give it to
92. 2:58you. Then all you want to do is right
93. 3:00here, as you can see, it says slash IG,
94. 3:02which means it's on um Instagram. And
95. 3:04then, as you can see, I was already
96. 3:05doing this method earlier. By the way,
97. 3:07I'm doing this all live right now. I'm
98. 3:09not even like planning this just to show
99. 3:11you guys um how like efficient these
100. 3:14are. And then right here, you found this
101. 3:16guy's channel, I mean page. And then you
102. 3:18just want to look through this and then
103. 3:21find the original. One upside like one
104. 3:23good thing about Tik Tok though is that
105. 3:25if for example your video that you're
106. 3:28looking for says slash uh is it usually
107. 3:31says Tik Tok or TT. Um, Tik Tok actually
108. 3:34lets you like sort the the videos by
109. 3:37most popular because what a lot of these
110. 3:40uh big channels that do commentary do is
111. 3:42they'll literally just look through
112. 3:44super viral videos, get those videos,
113. 3:46and then commentate over them. So,
114. 3:48usually it's the ones with the most
115. 3:49views. I want to see if I can find this
116. 3:51one real quick because if not, I'm going
117. 3:52to feel like a failure, but it should be
118. 3:54somewhere here. Sometimes it gets
119. 3:56annoying through Instagram. Um, but
120. 3:59don't worry, more methods um coming, but
121. 4:01I want to show you guys. Let's do
122. 4:03another one. Let me keep scrolling and
123. 4:04then I want to see if I can find another
124. 4:06one. So, this guy, as you can see, boom,
125. 4:08there's another um video right here that
126. 4:11we can potentially source. Then just go
127. 4:13to Instagram and then paste in your what
128. 4:16is it called? The at the SA writer. Um
129. 4:20or sometimes they'll even have them
130. 4:22pinned. Here it is. Look. So, I found
131. 4:24this video right here, which we were
132. 4:26looking at right here. And it's as easy
133. 4:28as that. then you just download it and
134. 4:30then make your own commentary over it
135. 4:32because we're not copying people. Um,
136. 4:35and just to clear it up, we're not
137. 4:37stealing content. We're simply
138. 4:39repurposing it. Repurposing it. Um,
139. 4:42following YouTube's guidelines. I can't
140. 4:43even talk. But this is the first method.
141. 4:46This is a very good one. And if you guys
142. 4:48do make YouTube shorts uh with
143. 4:50commentary, go ahead and credit the
144. 4:52original owner in the description. It's
145. 4:54the least you can do. And you can also
146. 4:57let people also use that video. So don't
147. 4:59be stingy with it. And um this is the
148. 5:02first method um which is literally just
149. 5:05scrolling through YouTube shorts on a
150. 5:07burner account or whatever going to the
151. 5:10description and then finding it. But
152. 5:11what about these right here that you
153. 5:13can't actually find them? We're going to
154. 5:14get to this method uh real quick. Um but
155. 5:17the second method is literally search.
156. 5:19Um, and this might be self-explanatory,
157. 5:21but search is you got to understand that
158. 5:24if you're running a YouTube shorts
159. 5:25channel, um, you got to be ready to put
160. 5:28the work in to look for content. But
161. 5:30it's not hard. It's really not hard. So,
162. 5:31let me show you guys this example. Like
163. 5:33I said, these are all live examples. So,
164. 5:36uh, for those that don't know, I have
165. 5:37this uh I run this channel called
166. 5:39Infinite Cars, which right now I'm
167. 5:40trying to revive it with 41K subs. Um, I
168. 5:44documented this channel on this channel
169. 5:47and um, earlier today I was actually
170. 5:50sourcing content for it, right? And
171. 5:51Instagram, I know that Instagram is such
172. 5:53a good place for car content and
173. 5:56depending on your niche, you guys will
174. 5:58understand like what is like the the
175. 6:00best platform for your niche. For
176. 6:02example, I can tell you guys that
177. 6:04Instagram is the best for car content.
178. 6:05Literally, car content is everywhere on
179. 6:08Instagram. And this method actually has
180. 6:09two in one. So, it's not just the search
181. 6:11method. So, with the search method comes
182. 6:14something else, right? So, like I was
183. 6:15telling you guys, um I was actually
184. 6:17doing some research and I was looking
185. 6:19for um videos about Mustangs, right? And
186. 6:22I came across this video on Instagram.
187. 6:24So, I literally just went to the search
188. 6:25page and searched up um for example, I
189. 6:28searched up Mustang Crash or something,
190. 6:30right? And then I searched it up, looked
191. 6:32through the reals and found this one,
192. 6:34right? So, I came across this one. Now,
193. 6:36the beautiful thing about the search
194. 6:37method is that you can find mine pages.
195. 6:39And what those are is basically I found
196. 6:41this one. If you go to the page, what do
197. 6:44you know? This is a full page about
198. 6:46cars. And this is what I like to call
199. 6:48mine page. I don't know if I came up
200. 6:49with this um term, but I'm not sure.
201. 6:51Correct me if I'm wrong. But you can you
202. 6:53guys can find mine pages. So, as you can
203. 6:55see, this um this page right here,
204. 6:59sorry, has a bunch of car content that I
205. 7:02can use for my car channel. Where is it
206. 7:04at? This right here. And if I have a
207. 7:07channel about um let's say boxing, you
208. 7:11can easily find mine pages about boxing
209. 7:13as well if you just search up uh boxing
210. 7:16moments, look through some reals, and
211. 7:19then go to the pages. And look, I look,
212. 7:21for example, if I was making a video
213. 7:22about a Ferrari, there's a video of this
214. 7:25Ferrari that's broken down. And this can
215. 7:27be such a good video, whether I want to
216. 7:29edit it or add some commentary over it,
217. 7:31be like, "Watch the moment this Ferrari
218. 7:33broke down because the owner thought
219. 7:34blah blah blah." you know, all the BS
220. 7:36little commentaries and stuff like that.
221. 7:39Um, but this is essentially what a mine
222. 7:41page is. And then I also have another
223. 7:44now. And then I also have a an example
224. 7:46for Tik Tok, right? So, uh, this is a
225. 7:49video that I was looking for to source
226. 7:51for my military channel, which you guys
227. 7:53have seen as well. And if you go to this
228. 7:56guy's page, this guy doesn't have like
229. 7:58specifically a military channel. Um, but
230. 8:00you guys understand the point. There's
231. 8:02military content on it, right? And these
232. 8:04are all videos that I can use for my
233. 8:06military channel. So, I hope this is
234. 8:08making sense. From search, you can find
235. 8:10mine pages, which are these, which is I
236. 8:13can't even talk, which are pages that
237. 8:15just post about a certain niche, right?
238. 8:16Because this page right here only posts
239. 8:19about cars. Um, this page right here has
240. 8:21a lot of military content. And that's
241. 8:24basically just giving you like free free
242. 8:27content for you to use because like I
243. 8:29said, look, there's more Mustang videos.
244. 8:31if I'm making Mustang videos. Um, and
245. 8:34the best part is is that a lot of them
246. 8:36like post good moments that you can use.
247. 8:38It's not even like you have to filter
248. 8:39these. I bet you 80% of these videos are
249. 8:42viral uh content, viral worthy content.
250. 8:45Yeah. But um yeah, man. This is method
251. 8:48number two. So, keep in mind um this
252. 8:51method actually has two in it. So, the
253. 8:53first one is going to the description
254. 8:55and finding their and the second one is
255. 8:58just using search. Uh by the way, this
256. 9:00is not only on Instagram. You can do
257. 9:01this on Tik Tok and YouTube as well. So,
258. 9:03if your channel is dedicated to making
259. 9:05car content like mine, you can search up
260. 9:06on YouTube car crash fails and then
261. 9:09source content from there. Um, because
262. 9:11there's channels literally that only
263. 9:13post car crashes and stuff like that.
264. 9:14So, you guys get the point. Search and
265. 9:16then find mine pages like these, which
266. 9:18you can get so much more content from
267. 9:20and so much more ideas from. Um, and
268. 9:22these are literally not even like the
269. 9:24best examples, guys. I've I've found
270. 9:26like I'm yapping so much in this video,
271. 9:28but I found super super good pages that
272. 9:31you guys can get like like viral
273. 9:34content, viral content, viral content,
274. 9:36and it makes your life a whole lot
275. 9:37easier if you're running um a lot of
276. 9:39different faceless channels like me,
277. 9:41car, cops, military, have so much more.
278. 9:44Um and yeah, let's get into method
279. 9:47number three, which is what I'm most
280. 9:49excited for. This is uh pure sauce right
281. 9:51here. Let me let me let me teach you
282. 9:52guys this. So, this is when you're
283. 9:54looking through and they actually don't
284. 9:57credit the creator. Um, or you can't
285. 10:00search for it because there is some
286. 10:02videos where you can like, for example,
287. 10:04um, this video I can probably search up
288. 10:07uh, disabled man charges at cop and
289. 10:09probably find the original. But, let's
290. 10:11find a video that actually doesn't have
291. 10:14the credits, right? All right. So, this
292. 10:15is a perfect example right here. This is
293. 10:17a video of this man getting arrested or
294. 10:19something like that. Um, and let's say
295. 10:21you can't find it. there's no credits or
296. 10:23you search for it and you can't find it.
297. 10:25Let me show you guys a trick. So, what
298. 10:28you want to do is on the YouTube short,
299. 10:29you want to find out like a good frame.
300. 10:32Just find a good frame that you think
301. 10:34that is like a key frame. So, don't do
302. 10:37like do something that's recognizable.
303. 10:39Like don't do this because obviously
304. 10:41this is just a piece of the car, right?
305. 10:42So, do something that you can tell what
306. 10:44video it is, if that makes sense. Then
307. 10:46what you want to do is go ahead and
308. 10:48screenshot a frame of the YouTube short.
309. 10:52Um, so I'm going to screenshot this
310. 10:53right here. Um, and then search up
311. 10:56reverse image search. So this is the
312. 10:58reverse um, image search method. And
313. 11:00this is a good good method that I've
314. 11:02been using as well. Um, and then it's
315. 11:04going to be this site called like duplic
316. 11:06checker or something. And then just drag
317. 11:07in your screenshot right here. So I'm
318. 11:09going to do the exact same thing. All
319. 11:10right. Once you put it in, just go ahead
320. 11:12and put search uh similar images. And in
321. 11:15an instant, it's basically going to find
322. 11:17the original source for you. Um, what I
323. 11:20like to do is go right here and then
324. 11:21click on show matches on Google. Um, and
325. 11:23then boom, look at this. You are finding
326. 11:26it literally finds the videos for you.
327. 11:29And then from here, you can just find,
328. 11:31like I said, the original video. So, you
329. 11:33can do like um I don't know why this is
330. 11:35in Spanish, bro. I think this Google
331. 11:36account is in Spanish, but um let me see
332. 11:40this right here. Then just look through
333. 11:42it and then find the original video and
334. 11:43that's it literally. Um, so as you can
335. 11:45see,
336. 11:47I found I'm pretty sure I found the
337. 11:49original video. Where's it at? All
338. 11:51right. I think this is like a
339. 11:52compilation.
340. 11:54So, this is not good. But the good thing
341. 11:56is that you can just like search through
342. 11:59all of these. Um, sometimes Tik Tok will
343. 12:01have them as well. So, just look through
344. 12:03and find the original source. One tip I
345. 12:06can give you guys is make sure that the
346. 12:08original video is actually high quality.
347. 12:11So, try to find the one with the best
348. 12:12quality. Um,
349. 12:15it should be somewhere here. I I don't
350. 12:16want to go on Facebook, bro. Let me see
351. 12:18what this site is. But basically, you
352. 12:20guys get the point. Grab a screenshot of
353. 12:22the of the YouTube short and then this
354. 12:25right here will give you um basically
355. 12:28the um the what is it called? The
356. 12:31original video. I think it's this one
357. 12:33right here. Yeah, perfect. Here it is.
358. 12:36There you go. So, I found the original
359. 12:37video. It took me a few tries, but you
360. 12:39guys get the point. Usually, I'm a
361. 12:40master at this and I get it the first
362. 12:42try. Just kidding. It obviously takes a
363. 12:44little bit of like you can't expect to
364. 12:46source content super easily. It's very
365. 12:48easy, but sometimes like earlier today I
366. 12:51was sourcing a video and it took me a
367. 12:53while to actually find a good like a
368. 12:56good quality one cuz sometimes it'll
369. 12:58give you like remixes if that makes
370. 13:00sense of other people that have um other
371. 13:03people that have actually what is it
372. 13:05called? Um done the same video. But here
373. 13:08it is that you just want to download it
374. 13:10and then you can make yourself the same
375. 13:12short right here.
376. 13:14And I can show you guys and I can do
377. 13:16this again with another short. It's very
378. 13:18easy and this is a very good method to
379. 13:20find videos that you can't find by
380. 13:22yourself. So this is basically just
381. 13:24using this website and then it'll give
382. 13:26it for you. But yeah, those are the um
383. 13:28the four methods that I use. Um the
