If I Started YouTube from Scratch in 2026, I’d Do THIS — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00starting a YouTube channel today, I
2. 0:02would do probably everything completely
3. 0:03different. Now, I've been creating
4. 0:05YouTube videos for a long time. And I've
5. 0:09created YouTube videos in a variety of
6. 0:10niches. And so, I feel pretty good idea
7. 0:13of what's worked. Uh more importantly, I
8. 0:16know a lot of what doesn't work. I'm
9. 0:17looking at some of my channels now. Uh
10. 0:19this channel, I think is the first one,
11. 0:21is over 7 years old. And so, I made
12. 0:25And so, I I made a lot of mistakes and I
13. 0:28made a lot of
14. 0:30money mistakes. I left a lot of money on
15. 0:31the table. And what I want to do is I
16. 0:34want to
17. 0:36tell you how I would start
18. 0:39if I were just getting started today.
19. 0:40Now again, I I just looked My oldest
20. 0:43YouTube video appears to be about 7
21. 0:45years old.
22. 0:46And in those 7 years, I have done a lot.
23. 0:50I've made a lot of money with my YouTube
24. 0:52channel, which I'm really grateful for.
25. 0:54And I've made a lot of mistakes and I
26. 0:56want to reveal what you should do so
27. 0:58that you can kind of skip the mistakes
28. 1:01and the frustration.
29. 1:02And so, if we just take a look at my
30. 1:03screen here,
31. 1:05um my oldest video on this channel is 7
32. 1:08years old. You can see I I started off
33. 1:10talking about Amazon Web Services. My
34. 1:13most viewed videos have 1.1 million
35. 1:15views from 3 years ago.
36. 1:17Um my first real channel when I got
37. 1:19serious was about security cameras and
38. 1:21it's still up today. You can see this
39. 1:22video is 7 years old.
40. 1:24Um
41. 1:25it one video has over 1,000 views,
42. 1:28283,000 views from 7 years ago. And then
43. 1:31the faceless video that I was using
44. 1:33mostly AI for, my oldest video is I
45. 1:37started off showing my face.
46. 1:38And but but the oldest video on this
47. 1:40channel, I think, is
48. 1:42um 4 years ago. But the most popular
49. 1:45videos have over 104,000 views from just
50. 1:486 months ago. So, I have been through a
51. 1:51lot, I've done a lot, and I want to
52. 1:53share with you what you should do so
53. 1:55that you can be successful. Okay? So,
54. 1:58you can skip the line, skip the
55. 1:59frustration because if you let it,
56. 2:02YouTube will be frustrating and
57. 2:03maddening and will wear you out and burn
58. 2:06you out before you even really get
59. 2:08started. All right. So, let's go ahead
60. 2:10and get into the things that I would do
61. 2:13if I were just starting over from today.
62. 2:16The first thing that I would do is I
63. 2:17wouldn't rely on getting paid by the
64. 2:19YouTube Partner Program. I would not
65. 2:21focus on subscribers. I wouldn't even
66. 2:24really focus on watch time because when
67. 2:27you focus on those things, you start
68. 2:29creating content that isn't necessarily
69. 2:33in your best interest. You start chasing
70. 2:35views. You start trying to go viral. You
71. 2:37start comparing yourself to other
72. 2:40creators that are out there and not in a
73. 2:42good way. You should definitely be
74. 2:44comparing and contrasting what you're
75. 2:46doing to what others are doing, but
76. 2:48there's a healthy way to do it and
77. 2:50there's an unhealthy way to do it.
78. 2:52For a long time, I was I was doing the
79. 2:54unhealthy way
80. 2:56where I was getting frustrated because
81. 2:59I was doing the same type of content as
82. 3:01another creator and I wasn't getting the
83. 3:03views and the watch time. So, stop.
84. 3:06Number one,
85. 3:07don't focus on the YouTube Partner
86. 3:09Program. Don't focus on getting
87. 3:11monetized by the YouTube Partner Program
88. 3:13because that's going to lead you astray.
89. 3:15That's going to ultimately frustrate you
90. 3:17and you're not going to get where you
91. 3:18want to go.
92. 3:20Number two, and I think this is probably
93. 3:221A, is actually start with the end in
94. 3:25mind. Okay? And what's the end? What's
95. 3:28the end goal? Why do we create YouTube
96. 3:30videos? We create YouTube videos to make
97. 3:31money. I know people are going to say,
98. 3:33"Well, I do it for funsies."
99. 3:35If you did it for funsies, you wouldn't
100. 3:37put it on the internet. You would keep
101. 3:38it on your hard drive and you'd probably
102. 3:41um you'd probably
103. 3:43maybe share the video with your friends
104. 3:45and family. But if we're being honest,
105. 3:48one of the reasons why you're creating
106. 3:50YouTube videos
107. 3:51and and you can lie to yourself if you
108. 3:53want to, but one of the reasons why
109. 3:54you're creating videos is the
110. 3:55opportunity
111. 3:57to make money.
112. 3:58Right?
113. 4:00What you should be doing, what I should
114. 4:02have done is I should have started with
115. 4:04the end. How am I going to get paid
116. 4:06first?
117. 4:07Don't start like once you
118. 4:10once you establish your niche and who
119. 4:11you want to help or who you're creating
120. 4:13content for, start with how you're going
121. 4:15to get paid because if you don't have a
122. 4:17clear path of how you're going to get
123. 4:19paid, you're going to start doing those
124. 4:21things like chasing views and trying to
125. 4:23go viral and your content is going to be
126. 4:25scattered. One minute you're creating
127. 4:26content about Amazon Web Services, the
128. 4:28next minute, like I was the next minute
129. 4:30you're creating review type videos and
130. 4:33your content's all over the place. And
131. 4:35when your content's all over the place,
132. 4:36YouTube has no idea
133. 4:38who to serve your content to. So, I
134. 4:40think it's really really important to
135. 4:42start with the end. I personally, I feel
136. 4:45like the best way to monetize is with
137. 4:47digital products and we'll talk a little
138. 4:48bit more about that in just a moment,
139. 4:50but I think that is the best way to
140. 4:52monetize
141. 4:53your YouTube channel.
142. 4:55So, that way you're not chasing brand
143. 4:58deals and sponsorships. You're not
144. 4:59chasing the YouTube Partner Program. But
145. 5:01ultimately, write down number one, your
146. 5:03niche, who you want to help and and
147. 5:05niche down. Um
148. 5:07Niche down a little bit.
149. 5:09Number one, who you're going to help,
150. 5:10who you want to serve. Number two, how
151. 5:12you're going to get paid.
152. 5:14You should at least have one direct way
153. 5:16where people are going to pay you. Okay?
154. 5:18Really important. Even if you don't have
155. 5:19it set up yet, have a plan for getting
156. 5:22paid.
157. 5:24Um and this is more for content. Use the
158. 5:27piggybacking strategy. One of the things
159. 5:29that I tried to do in the very beginning
160. 5:31is I tried to be kind of unique. Tried
161. 5:34to be
162. 5:35um
163. 5:36tried to be different and YouTube
164. 5:39doesn't want different. It sucks to say,
165. 5:42but for the most part, YouTube wants to
166. 5:44show videos that have been proven to
167. 5:46work. And the best way to show videos
168. 5:48that have been proven to work is to uh
169. 5:51piggyback off of what's already working.
170. 5:53Uh now, just give you a quick example.
171. 5:55And the reason why I brought I wanted to
172. 5:56show you these videos is, you know, this
173. 5:59video, 10 Best Neutral Paint Colors
174. 6:00Sherwin-Williams for a Timeless Look,
175. 6:02100,000 views from 6 months ago. You can
176. 6:05see that this channel only has 3,000
177. 6:06subscribers.
178. 6:08This is
179. 6:09I want to say almost a direct copy-paste
180. 6:12copy pasta from a video that had
181. 6:14performed well. So, you can see there.
182. 6:17This video, the the way that I went
183. 6:18about this is I found videos that had a
184. 6:21great view-to-subscriber ratio. So,
185. 6:2219,000 views, 7,000 subscribers, and I
186. 6:27just made the exact same video. But not
187. 6:30the exact same video. Um you can see my
188. 6:32video is a little bit longer, it's a
189. 6:33little bit more thorough, but you can
190. 6:35see, you know, this person did it too
191. 6:37from 10 months months ago.
192. 6:39Uh 10 Best Sherwin-Williams Interior
193. 6:41Paint Colors for for 2025. What I could
194. 6:44do is make this exact same video, but
195. 6:46for 2026.
196. 6:48And it has been proven to work. You
197. 6:50know, if we scroll through, you can see
198. 6:52time and time again
199. 6:54this video has been proven to work. And
200. 6:57so, that's a signal to me to make this
201. 7:00video. All right. In fact, what I would
202. 7:03do to take it a step further is I keep
203. 7:05seeing the same YouTube channels pop up.
204. 7:07Why don't I
205. 7:09go look over on this YouTube channel and
206. 7:11look at the videos that are performing
207. 7:12well in the last
208. 7:14a few months. Right? So, this video,
209. 7:165,000 views, um I would want to make it
210. 7:19because it has a good view-to-subscriber
211. 7:21ratio.
212. 7:23That's the right way to get attention.
213. 7:25Find things that are working recently.
214. 7:26You can go back as far as probably 1
215. 7:28year.
216. 7:29And find things that are working so that
217. 7:31you can uh piggyback off of that. I call
218. 7:34it the piggybacking strategy.
219. 7:36Right? Use videos already working.
220. 7:38In addition, the next thing that you can
221. 7:40do is you can niche bend ideas. Now, I
222. 7:42didn't uh
223. 7:43I I didn't know it was called niche
224. 7:45bending. I I called it going out and
225. 7:48finding things that were working in in
226. 7:50other niches and combining it with
227. 7:52things that were working in my niche.
228. 7:54Right? So,
229. 7:56I I've seen a couple people call it
230. 7:58niche bending,
231. 7:59um but I'll give you an example. Niche
232. 8:01bending.
233. 8:02This video here
234. 8:04that has
235. 8:051.1 million views from 3 years ago is a
236. 8:09niche bending example. This I tried it
237. 8:12was really popular. In fact, if I go uh
238. 8:15if I go here and I type in um I tried
239. 8:19staying
240. 8:21at the most dangerous hotel.
241. 8:24You can see this got 24 million views.
242. 8:28Um I tried staying in the most dangerous
243. 8:29So, this has 375,000 views.
244. 8:33I survived
245. 8:35could be a another example. I tested
246. 8:39could be another example. You can see
247. 8:40this got 43
248. 8:43million views. And so, what I did was I
249. 8:44said
250. 8:45and and this is the niche bending of it.
251. 8:47I said, "Okay, how can I use I tested
252. 8:49because it's a pretty common thing. I
253. 8:51stayed.
254. 8:53I did something. How can I combine this
255. 8:58with a video that is already proven to
256. 9:00do very well
257. 9:01in my niche? Oop, let me go forward one.
258. 9:04Uh popular.
259. 9:06And so, you can see the top two, four,
260. 9:09six videos um
261. 9:11top seven out of eight top uh
262. 9:14six videos are all I tried it. I tried
263. 9:16it earn blah blah blah. I tried it
264. 9:18because this video earn $7 every 60
265. 9:21seconds was a video that was going viral
266. 9:23at one point on on YouTube.
267. 9:26And so,
268. 9:27if you look,
269. 9:29you wonder where all of my subscribers
270. 9:31come from, it comes from I tried it. I
271. 9:33tried it. I tried it. And that's the
272. 9:35other thing I I should put in there, but
273. 9:37I I didn't is just keep doing what
274. 9:40works. And I'm going to add that real
275. 9:42quick so that you can see it. Um
276. 9:45I'm going to put do the same thing.
277. 9:47Do the same thing.
278. 9:51Uh
279. 9:52just keep
280. 9:54doing
281. 9:56what works.
282. 9:58Okay?
283. 10:00And it might feel like it's boring and
284. 10:02repetitive, but this I tried it series
285. 10:05proved to work for my channel, and so
286. 10:07you just keep going back to the well.
287. 10:10Right? The only reason why I I stopped
288. 10:12doing the I tried it thing
289. 10:14uh quite honestly is one, a lot of these
290. 10:16videos
291. 10:18from the original creators are being
292. 10:19taken down.
293. 10:21Like this video, if you try and look for
294. 10:23earn $7 every 60 seconds or just by
295. 10:25watching videos, this video is no longer
296. 10:27on YouTube. In fact, the channel I think
297. 10:29has been deleted.
298. 10:32And so, I kind of had to stop because
299. 10:33people stopped making these types of
300. 10:35videos. Um and I didn't want to risk
301. 10:37getting
302. 10:39um getting my account deleted as well,
303. 10:41so I I kind of had to stop it. In fact,
304. 10:43you know, when I start making these I
305. 10:45tried it, there were a whole slew of
306. 10:48YouTube video YouTube channels in my
307. 10:50niche that were making videos
308. 10:51piggybacking off of what I was doing.
309. 10:53And so, you know, if you want to be a
310. 10:55trendsetter, you want to be unique, you
311. 10:56want to be cute, combine two things.
312. 10:58Combine what works outside of your
313. 11:00niche, so the I tried it with what is
314. 11:02working inside of your niche.
315. 11:04I guarantee if you try and find these
316. 11:06videos, a lot of them are gone uh off of
317. 11:09YouTube completely.
318. 11:10Uh so, yeah, let's go back. So,
319. 11:13uh
320. 11:13do the same thing. Just keep doing the
321. 11:15same thing over and over again. If it if
322. 11:17it's proven to work on your YouTube
323. 11:18channel, just keep doing it. Um
324. 11:22it might get repetitive and boring and
325. 11:25tedious, but that's what YouTube wants.
326. 11:27YouTube wants to keep people on the
327. 11:28platform, and the best way to do it is
328. 11:30to serve them what they already are
329. 11:33interested in.
330. 11:34The next thing that you should do, if
331. 11:36you want to make long-term money, you
332. 11:38want to make money outside of the
333. 11:40platform and have more stability and
334. 11:42security, start sending emails now.
335. 11:45Start building a mailing list, start
336. 11:46email marketing. And essentially what
337. 11:48email marketing uh consists of is you
338. 11:50build a a one-page landing page, um you
339. 11:54give away you build a lead magnet, so
340. 11:56you give away something for free, and
341. 11:57then you do autoresponder emails. You
342. 11:59send out emails automatically on your
343. 12:01behalf. Now, those emails can be sending
344. 12:04people back to your content, which is
345. 12:05really popular. It can be selling a
346. 12:08product or service, or it could be
347. 12:10recommending other people's products and
348. 12:12services.
349. 12:13But the benefit of of collecting emails
350. 12:16is that emails are the one thing that
351. 12:19you can take with you. If I lose my
352. 12:21YouTube channel tomorrow, I still have
353. 12:23access to 20,000 emails.
354. 12:26Um
355. 12:2720,000 emails
356. 12:29that
357. 12:31that people have given me throughout the
358. 12:32years. So, start email marketing now.
359. 12:35And if you don't have a product or
360. 12:37service,
361. 12:38start email marketing. And then ask your
362. 12:41your people on your mailing list, what
363. 12:43do they struggle with? And then they
364. 12:44tell you what they struggle with, and
365. 12:46then go out and build it, and then sell
366. 12:47that to them, and they'll say you're a
367. 12:49genius.
368. 12:50Okay?
369. 12:52Um
370. 12:53really important, start with a simple
371. 12:55digital product. Create something small
372. 12:58to sell to your audience.
373. 13:00Um I'm talking about templates, cheat
374. 13:02sheets, workbooks, planners, um swipe
375. 13:06files,
376. 13:07something small and specific that will
377. 13:09help your target audience achieve a
378. 13:11specific result. Really, really
379. 13:13important, because when you create and
380. 13:14sell a digital product, that puts money
381. 13:15directly into your pocket. You're not
382. 13:17splitting the revenue with anybody. Um
383. 13:20and it will give you more freedom. It'll
384. 13:21give you more freedom earlier, and that
385. 13:24way when you have freedom earlier. So,
386. 13:25like let's say you create a digital
387. 13:27product five videos in, you can start
388. 13:29making money five videos in,
389. 13:32and you're not worried about the YouTube
390. 13:33Partner Program. You're not worried
391. 13:34about saying and doing things that might
392. 13:37get you demonetized. Right? One of the
393. 13:39issues with the YouTube Partner Program
394. 13:41is
395. 13:42you have to play by their rules. You
396. 13:44have to tow the line. But if you're if
397. 13:47you've got your own product, your own
398. 13:49digital products and services,
399. 13:50you can play by your own rules. You can
400. 13:53build your own income outside of
401. 13:55YouTube, and you're not dependent on a
402. 13:57platform that ultimately doesn't care
403. 13:59about you. They um
404. 14:02you're not a partner to YouTube. You are
405. 14:04just a you're kind of almost like an
406. 14:06employee um or a contractor or
407. 14:08subcontractor, and they can pull the
408. 14:10contract at any point. So, I want you to
409. 14:12create a a simple digital product. You
410. 14:15can create it using uh Canva.
411. 14:18It can be, like I said, a template based
412. 14:20on whatever your niche is and and what
413. 14:22they need. You can create it with a
414. 14:23Google Doc and save it as a PDF, and a
415. 14:26simple PDF will will get the issue uh
416. 14:29will solve the problem. My first digital
417. 14:30product was a 60-second business
418. 14:33blueprint. It was a step-by-step guide
419. 14:36on how to create TikTok videos back
420. 14:38before people were using TikTok to make
421. 14:40money. This is back when people were
422. 14:42just dancing on TikTok.
423. 14:44This is before you could put a link
424. 14:46and I think even go live.
425. 14:48And so, um I sold that to
426. 14:52uh internet marketers, affiliate
427. 14:54marketers,
428. 14:55people that wanted to make money from
429. 14:56TikTok. But create something small and
430. 14:58specific
431. 15:00for your target audience. Really
432. 15:01important.
433. 15:03Next, I would have a weekly affiliate
434. 15:05marketing video. So, one video focused
435. 15:08on affiliate commissions. Now, you
436. 15:11should be able to go out and find at
437. 15:14least one video. For example, I could do
438. 15:17the best tools for um making digital
439. 15:20products or the best tools for content
440. 15:22creation. And then I
441. 15:24I put together together a list of tools,
442. 15:26apply to become an affiliate, and put
443. 15:28those links in the description. The
444. 15:30great thing with affiliate marketing,
445. 15:31and you can do the same thing with
446. 15:32painting, um the great thing with
447. 15:34affiliate marketing is
448. 15:36you don't have to worry about shipping
449. 15:37or customer service. Uh people will
450. 15:39discover your videos for weeks, months,
451. 15:40and years to come, and they'll click on
452. 15:42those affiliate links, and it's another
453. 15:44income stream. You don't have to focus
454. 15:46your entire YouTube channel on affiliate
455. 15:48marketing, but it's a nice little
456. 15:50additional revenue stream that you can
457. 15:52build up over time and get paid by a a
458. 15:55different party. So, we've got multiple
459. 15:57revenue streams coming in just from your
460. 16:00YouTube channel. But if you look at
461. 16:01this,
462. 16:02you know, this Ring video doorbell video
463. 16:04here uh earned me a bunch of
464. 16:06commissions. I've made a lot of money
465. 16:09with just this one video. And it's
466. 16:11simple.
467. 16:13Oh, that's a younger me, but if we look,
468. 16:14you can see I've got affiliate links
469. 16:16right in here sprinkled in,
470. 16:18and then I've got a link to my
471. 16:20my blog. I don't know if this blog is
472. 16:22even still up.
473. 16:23Okay, yeah, this blog is is not working.
474. 16:27Um but you can see, this is a
475. 16:306-minute video.
476. 16:31Uh it's a talking head video.
477. 16:34Not a great video, didn't get a ton of
478. 16:35of positive responses, but the people
479. 16:38that did appreciate the video, they
480. 16:39clicked on this affiliate link, and they
481. 16:42give me money. Right? It's your
482. 16:44opportunity to partner with established
483. 16:46brands without
484. 16:49having to form like a formal formal
485. 16:51relationship. People trust and
486. 16:53understand Ring, the Ring video
487. 16:55doorbells, and so they feel comfortable
488. 16:58clicking on that link and buying.
489. 17:00But I would dedicate at least one video
490. 17:02per week
491. 17:03to um affiliate marketing.
492. 17:06I think that's really import- important,
493. 17:07so skip that. Um next, really, really
494. 17:10important is add a CTA or call to
495. 17:12action. Most people
496. 17:14don't know what to do unless you tell
497. 17:16them what to do.
498. 17:17Okay? A lot of
499. 17:19most people will just watch your video,
500. 17:22and
501. 17:24that's it.
502. 17:26What you should be doing in your videos
503. 17:29is, you know, maybe teaching something,
504. 17:30explaining something, and then give them
505. 17:32instructions on what to do next. For
506. 17:34example, later on in this video, I might
507. 17:36say something like, "Hey, if you want to
508. 17:38learn how to create your first digital
509. 17:39product and sell it through your YouTube
510. 17:41channel, click the first link in the
511. 17:43description and download the Beyond
512. 17:45AdSense workbook." That's my workbook
513. 17:47that I'm selling. Right? Tell viewers
514. 17:50what to do next, because if you don't
515. 17:51tell them what to do, they're not going
516. 17:53to do it. And somebody else is already
517. 17:54telling them what to do, and they're
518. 17:56making
519. 17:57money off of your customer. So, you're
520. 17:59warming them up, you're getting them
521. 18:00excited and fired up, and then they're
522. 18:02going on to the next video where someone
523. 18:05is adding a call to action, and um and
524. 18:08then they're they're buying and they're
525. 18:09spending money that could have been
526. 18:10spent with you. You're you're leaking
527. 18:12money. And your call to action can be to
528. 18:14subscribe. It can be to share the video.
529. 18:17Um or it can, like I said, be to join
530. 18:20the mailing list that you've created or
531. 18:22built out, or the digital product that
532. 18:23you're selling. But really important to
533. 18:26make sure that you have a call to action
534. 18:28in every one of your videos.
535. 18:30Um next, really important is instead of
536. 18:33trying to go viral,
537. 18:35instead of um creating content that's
538. 18:40trendy all the time, try and create
539. 18:42content where people are actually
540. 18:44searching it. Make videos that people
541. 18:46are looking for. And the benefit of
542. 18:48search-based videos is that your
543. 18:50search-based videos are going to be
544. 18:52relevant for years. Right? The reason
545. 18:55why this has 283,000 views over 7 years
546. 18:59is because people are always asking how
547. 19:01to install Ring video doorbell. And the
548. 19:03simple thing that you can do is you can
549. 19:05say something like um we can start off
550. 19:08with a a keyword. We can say like like
551. 19:10how to lose weight,
552. 19:13and then go through each letter of the
553. 19:14alphabet. So, how to lose weight Q,
554. 19:16quickly. Okay, take a screenshot, write
555. 19:18all of those down. That might be an
556. 19:20idea. Or what you can uh uh this is
557. 19:22called the Alphabet Soup method, where
558. 19:24you just go through each letter of the
559. 19:26alphabet
560. 19:27and record
561. 19:28the um the the responses. Now, what you
562. 19:31could do is go to how to lose weight
563. 19:33quickly while pregnant, hit the space
564. 19:35bar, and then go through each letter of
565. 19:37the alphabet again.
566. 19:39You know?
567. 19:40And then just record all of those.
568. 19:43And now you've got an infinite list, but
569. 19:46but this is just step one. So, what I
570. 19:48would do is how to lose weight while
571. 19:50pregnant third trimester. Now, I want to
572. 19:52take a look and see if
573. 19:54um if it has a good view to subscriber
574. 19:57ratio, but this is from 4 years ago. So,
575. 19:59maybe
576. 20:01uh may maybe I think about
577. 20:04improving this video.
578. 20:06Right? And so, the great thing is is
579. 20:09someone will be searching. I guarantee
580. 20:11you there probably hundreds of people,
581. 20:12if not thousands of people, searching
582. 20:14how to lose weight while pregnant in the
583. 20:15third trimester.
584. 20:17And so, your content can get
585. 20:18discoverable. I remember Brian G Johnson
586. 20:21once said, you know, make a video
587. 20:23that'll get you 20 views every day. Now,
588. 20:2520 views doesn't feel like a lot,
589. 20:26doesn't seem like a lot, but if you get
590. 20:2820 views a day, 20 views, that should be
591. 20:31the minimum, the baseline. 20 *
592. 20:33uh 365,
593. 20:35that gives you 7,000 views a year.
594. 20:38And if you have 7,300 views a year,
595. 20:417,300,
596. 20:42and you do that with, I don't know,
597. 20:44let's say 100 videos, you do one video
598. 20:47every 3 days,
599. 20:49that gives you 730,000 views
600. 20:52for a year.
601. 20:54You know, or if you do the math,
602. 20:56you do it every e- over over 200 videos,
603. 21:01that gives you over
604. 21:03um
605. 21:041.4 million views, right? In a year.
606. 21:07Which is pretty good.
607. 21:09And if you've got the monetization down
608. 21:11pat, you can take 1. 1.4 million views,
609. 21:15maybe you get 1% of those people to buy
610. 21:18a product from you. So, we could say
611. 21:20like 1.4 million
612. 21:23uh
613. 21:24million times 1%.
614. 21:28That comes out to 14,000.
615. 21:31So, if we take 14,000, 14,000,
616. 21:34and we multiply that by uh seven, cuz
617. 21:36we're going to sell sell a $7 product,
618. 21:39that gives you $98,000
619. 21:42in 1 year, just from the digital product
620. 21:44that you created. That doesn't include
621. 21:46affiliate marketing, it doesn't include
622. 21:47if you ever join the YouTube Partner
623. 21:48Program.
624. 21:49So, you can see how, you know, small
625. 21:51numbers they they add up to big numbers.
626. 21:54If you're just getting 20 views uh
627. 21:5720 views
628. 21:59per day per video
629. 22:01for the entire year.
630. 22:03Okay?
631. 22:04So, that's why
632. 22:05Hopefully, this is all starting to make
633. 22:07sense, why you don't want to go viral.
634. 22:09Right? You're You don't want to chase
635. 22:11ads because these small numbers that I'm
636. 22:13giving you actually add up to something
637. 22:15pretty substantial
638. 22:17if you if you've got a plan, if you're
639. 22:19putting the plan in place, if you're
640. 22:20implementing the plan.
641. 22:22Uh next, one video, one purpose. Every
642. 22:25video should lead somewhere. That's kind
643. 22:26of like adding that CTA, and that
644. 22:28somewhere should be to follow you, to
645. 22:31your mailing list, to the digital
646. 22:32product that you're selling, or to an
647. 22:33affiliate uh product that you're
648. 22:35promoting. Make sure every video has a
649. 22:38purpose and it's just not aimlessly
650. 22:41wandering around.
651. 22:42Really, really important.
652. 22:44Make sure every every video has a job,
653. 22:47and you're not just creating empty
654. 22:48videos or wasteful videos.
655. 22:51Right?
656. 22:52And as I mentioned earlier, I'm going to
657. 22:54give you this call to action. If you
