Today I want to talk about how to make money with YouTube
And for those of you guys have been following my channel for a little bit
You know how passionate I am about YouTube because it can be a total game changer for your life for your business doesn't matter
What type of business you're in I started YouTube a little over a year and a half ago
So January 2018 is when I actually got serious with my youtube business and this year just my second year
Creating my YouTube channel. I'm on pace to make over
$300,000 this year right now guys
I don't say that the brag but I want to share with you guys exactly what I'm doing show you the exact strategies
I'm not going to share anything that I'm not doing like e-commerce or merch or anything like that because I don't do that
So I want to share with you guys what I do
Because I have a pretty small channel and it's been still pretty lucrative now real quick before we dive into everything though
I don't want you to think that like YouTube is something like get-rich-quick scheme
Actually the first several months of YouTube. I was making pretty much zero money the amount of time
I actually put into YouTube those first few months. I was making like less than fifty cents an hour
Whereas now I pretty much can have it running on autopilot where I don't have to be posting videos
Non-stop every single day and I can still be making a good two to three hundred dollars every single day
No matter if I post a video or not
So with that said if you are solely focused on the YouTube ad revenue, which you get with Adsense showing ads in your videos
I want it fully rely on that. It's really not that exciting until you really get some good views
Now this past month I made over $8,000 which that finally is getting to a point where it's like exciting
But it takes a long time you got to do a lot of work to get to that point
so if that's the only thing that you're focused on I
probably think about a
different way to go through and make money because there's a lot of other ways that you could probably make a lot more money without
how to put in so much work
alright
So the very first step that you need to do is go and pick a niche pick a specific
Industry or specific topic to talk about and start making videos, right?
You got to start actually making content if you go and you create a channel, you don't put any content out there
No one's going to find it because the only way people can find you your channel is through videos just like this and guys
Literally, this is the very first video I've ever done. I just bought a brand new canon
Camera, which I'm pretty excited about
I don't even know this video is gonna turn out or not because I have no idea how to work it
I got a new mic guys. This is after over 20 months of doing YouTube videos
All the rest of my videos if you go back and look at them
They're using my iPhone or the screenshare camera on my computer
Ok, so there's no excuse to like I don't have the right equipment to go through and create, you know new videos
I just got a new lighting
so I literally just got all this this last week just so I could be like
Alright that making some good money with YouTube now. I should probably take it a little bit more serious
So if you're brand new
Starting out right now
Don't make that excuse just start creating content and even if you're not that great at creating
Content or you're scared of being in front of the camera
Well guys in the beginning the great thing is nobody's watching your videos anyway
So it's a great way to go through and get some practice. Ok
So number one create a channel pick a specific industry or niche
Hopefully something that you're good at or that you enjoy that you're passionate about and start making videos
Right now step number two
this is something extremely powerful that I don't think most youtubers do and
If they don't do this you're missing out on a lot of money. Okay, and this is going through and building an email list
so what you're gonna do is create a simple landing page something looks just like this and
You are gonna have a link to that landing page in the description in the top comment of every single one of your videos
Okay, and you've probably seen all youtubers at the end of the videos they say hey a light comment subscribe
Because then YouTube will send them notification emails if they subscribe and hit that notification bell
But the truth is guys you too doesn't even send emails to every single person that has that notification Bell hit
every single time you launch a video
So if you have an email list that you have built up
You can take matters into your own hands and blast out an email to your email list
Letting them know that you launched a new video and this is the number one way to get organic views in the first
24 hours of launching a new video and if your to YouTube and you're like you don't know why that's so important
Well YouTube's algorithm
They'll take a look at your video in the first hour first 12
24 hours and they'll see how many people are actually watching that video
How many people are actually clicking on that video how long they're watching that video for and they'll take all of that into?
Account as they're ranking your video and making it a suggestive video to other videos
And so the nice thing is if someone jumps in enjoins your email list a lot of times
Those are the people that are most interested in your content
So right out of the gate as soon as your video launches
you can get your video in front of an audience who actually
Knows likes and trusts you
So you're gonna get a lot more people clicking and watching the video and your watch time is going to be a lot longer so
you can get more exposure for your videos which leads us into the third step of going through and actually
Making money and that is selling courses. So my youtube channel
I have a lot of content talking about Facebook Ads Instagram ads how to start a YouTube channel passive income all these different topics
but they're kind of all scattered right like you can't go through and learn Facebook ads or you can
But you're gonna be jumping from one video to the next and jumping all over the place
And so what I've done is I've created a course
It's a lot more straightforward
Of like here's step by step how to set up Facebook Ads how to get everything up and running and how to launch your campaigns
How to generate leads so then people find my youtube videos on Facebook ads and like oh man, this guy knows this stuff
I wonder if he's got something a little bit more straight forward a little bit more step by step a little
Blueprint and that is where the course comes in now
You don't have to be selling these courses for a thousand two thousand dollars or anything like that
My Facebook Ads masterclass is just 47 bucks
So guys if you want to learn more about Facebook Ads get down there and check out the link
So as people are watching your videos, they can see a link out to your course down in the description
But then also your email list that you're building letting people know about different videos that you're launching. You can also notify them
Hey look
We're got a special deal going on on the course that you can jump in and get it today and you can make some
discount or promotional type thing or tell some success stories of other people that have gone through
Your course your training and have had some good success
Now of course is our great way to make some good money because you set one course and you just made 50 bucks
Whereas they get 250 dollars per day with your adsense revenue
That can take several months of creating a lot of content and really working hard to promote those videos now
Obviously not every channel that every topic can have an easy course, like if you're a vlog or something like that
Someone's probably gonna have a course on like how to live the life that you live right or something like that
they're not gonna buy that but if you have some type of channel where you're an expert on of like maybe like it's
Taxes or how to make money or marketing or whatever it is
You can easily go through and say hey
Here's some different strategies and have the YouTube videos about that
And then sell a more in-depth course on the back end to make some money, which can help pay the bills
While your YouTube channel is actually growing so you can make some of that Adsense revenue as well
alright
So just a quick recap one picking niche pick an industry a topic that you can go through and start making videos on
Number two build an email list so that you can let your list know of new videos that you've actually launched and then number three
Make a course
Maybe it's a low ticket course a higher end course, whatever it is
Or you can have multiple and then you can let people know that are watching your videos or that are on your email list
About the course that you can actually have them buy and make money off that and then the fourth one
This is one that I've actually been playing around with the last two weeks or so
And it's been working out pretty well because we can actually leverage our email list as well as our YouTube following
To make money and that is through affiliate marketing or affiliate promotions. So I'll pop up here
This is my affiliate commissions right here. I've been promoting a product and the last couple days has been pretty good
I've been making about a couple hundred bucks every single day and this is something I literally just started playing around with but basically what
Affiliate marketing is is if a company has a product right they want to go through and they want to make sales for that product
Well, if you recommend somebody to buy that product they will pay you a commission for doing that
So let's say they have a hundred dollar product and their affiliate payout is thirty percent
well
if someone buys that hundred other products you get a thirty percent commission or you make thirty dollars for
Referring that person to that company, which is pretty nice
Especially as you go through and grow your email list your youtube following you can make money
Of these affiliate offers and you don't have to worry about the fulfillment the support anything like that
So that's another great way to go and make some nice passive income from your YouTube channel
Alright, so basically kind of a quick recap here guys
Go through
The first thing is to start making YouTube content and as you go through and grow to a thousand subscribers
Four thousand watch hours. You can start throwing ads on your YouTube video
and once you have ads you make some ad revenue money and then you can have your courses on the back end and you can
Be making money on course sales
and then if you have a great product that there's like a
Software or some other type of training or whatever that you've used and you absolutely love it
You can recommend people to those products and also
Amazon if you've ever bought anything on Amazon
It's easy to become an Amazon affiliate and just get a little affiliate link drop it down in your youtube video
So like let's say you have a YouTube channel on unboxing like unboxing my new Canon camera
Well, you can have an Amazon affiliate link out to that camera
Where is someone buys that camera you get paid for those efforts?
so anyway guys
I hope this video was helpful if you guys been thinking about starting a YouTube channel, or if it's really worth it
It was gonna be lucrative one. Keep the long term in mind. Okay, don't be thinking about a quick fix here
You're not gonna be making money in 90 days. And if you are it's going to be very minimal
but if you have that long-term mindset like the two three
Four five years of building your own personal brand making money off of ad revenue
Courses affiliate offers and then even at that point there's brand deals
There's econ there's merch or so many ways that you can go through and monetize your personal brand
You can monetize your YouTube channel
So if you've been thinking about it jump in take action
I highly recommend it and at the end of day you're gonna get over your fears if you have that fear of shooting videos
I'm a super shy person. I'm very introverted
Yet. I've been just doing these videos for a long time and you just get used to it
So anyway guys, I hope this video was helpful
