In this video I'm exploring if it's possible to make money on youtube
shorts using only these two things, a cell phone, and a pencil, well,
maybe there's a bit more to it than that have a look at this. At the
high level, I mean making simple drawings like these, without even
really being able to draw at all. And then looking at a way that you
could actually make money with this to be more specific, make videos
similar to this one, and really use this as a traffic source where we
leverage YouTube shorts. Again, eyeballs, and more importantly,
wallets pointed at a product for sale, except you're not going to
create the product. I mean, look at some of the views that these videos
get where my channel like this one that regularly posts a lot of simple
drawings, or accept almost 2 million views for the month with up to
82,000 views gain on just one day. And that has potential to be 82,000
views in one day pointed at a product and an affiliate site like
ClickBank, we have just 1% purchases, you can make up to $32
per sale. So I hope you see the potential here, where you can create
these simple videos as our traffic source and direct it towards a
product that you didn't even make so that you can start making money on
YouTube. But what we're going to do is even easier than that, we're
going to recreate these videos in a format that is easy for the viewer
to consume. And you're going to do this even if you've never held a
pencil before, which you probably did already because of like school.
But let's get to work right before we decide what to actually draw. We
want to kind of reverse engineer that by finding something that
people actually search for doesn't make sense making a video about
something that nobody is looking for, especially if you're a new
channel. So start typing pencil drawing. And YouTube water suggests
things that people are actually searching for a flowers seem to be
one of them. And if you've noticed so far, these things get a lot of
views. But not only for big channels like this, but smaller channels here
under 10,000 subscribers 86,000 views, this video was posted only
two months ago, 97,000 views on this channel is under 2000 subscribers.
It's such a shame that this video is 97,000 views yet only 1000
subscribers. This means a lot of people didn't subscribe to this
channel, don't be like that channel, be sure to subscribe to my channel.
So here are the tutorials, we're going to use one of these tutorials
to recreate something similar, open a next tab and search for pencil
drawing time lapse type hashtag short at the ending that hit filters
and select under four minutes. So this is why you don't need to know
how to draw to get started with this, this is exactly what you're
going to do, you're going to create this time lapse you can spend up to
an hour creating these drawings. But it doesn't really matter. Because
you're going to speed it up to under one minute for viewing, what you're
going to do is trying to recreate something like this. But for a flow
or something that got a lot of searches, you also can make any
amount of errors that you want, because nobody is going to really
tell. And this is targeted towards beginners. So it doesn't matter how
much mistakes you make. And you can take as long as you want. When you
speed it up like this, you can't really tell them how much mistakes
you're making any way. And it's targeted towards a beginner, so
there is no pressure. So grab a pencil and people prop up your cell
phone overhead in a way that you can record the drawing. And it doesn't
have to be something like this that you have to buy, or even something
like this that you can build, just figure out a way that you can rest
your phone on top of a shelf. Or maybe something similar to this on
top some books but with a phone camera is facing down. So it can
record a drawing on the table. Or maybe if you know somebody who has
it really sturdy hands, they can hold it forward while you draw. And
remember, you don't have to be the one drawing maybe you know, somebody
who likes to draw is interested in learning to draw or to work out
something with them wherever they can get the pencil for free after
the drawing, maybe offer them lunch, maybe I don't mind being able for
lunch to learn to draw. Let me know in the comments below if you need my
expertise with that. Now remember when you set up your phone, and
you're actually drawing that it's set in portrait mode, which means
it's vertical, not landscape, because that's the format of these
YouTube shots. And that will also make the editing even easier for you
next. So what you would have done so far, is find a simple tutorial for
drawing flowers, but is searching for a simple drawing tutorial flow,
because we saw that this is something that people are actually
searching for on YouTube. So just follow along with one of these
tutorials and draw something similar to this, I want you to finish
recording on your phone. Well maybe need a more modern phone than that
when you finish doing that. The next thing is to edit to the video. And
here's how simple you could do that once you've exported the video to
your desktop, PC or laptop, get this free to use video editor called open
shot by heading over to opuntia.org hit download. Once you grab that
install open up and this is what it looks like. The first thing to do is
choose your profile. We want to make sure it's suitable for YouTube
shorts, which means the vertical format and on the landscape. So look
for HD vertical 1080 by 1920 like that, that hit close. You can see it
looks good to go here. Find the simple drawing that one of you or
your friends did drag and drop it onto the timeline. Now this one is
not my drawing, especially since I don't have pink fingernails. Well,
this is just an example for you to know how you're going to edit this
Quickie, let's say forgot to position your phone vertical to
record and the recorded landscape like this person, then all you'd
have to do here is select the file, come up here and drag it into the
frame position at how is best, it doesn't have to take up the entire
vertical format. We're gonna leave space here for a graphic thing, link
in description. And that's to the product that somebody can purchase.
So once you did that, the next thing you have to do is speed up the video
so that it can fit under the 60 seconds YouTube shorts requirements.
And to do that, you just right click, go into time, fast,
unfortunate, like eight times the speed. As you can see here, it's
under 60 seconds. And this is what it looks like. So far, these things
apparently get a lot of views on YouTube. So let's see how we can
capitalize on that. What we want to do next is add some royalty free
music to make this a little bit more interesting. And let's find some
music that we don't have to spend any money on it as well just search
for YouTube audio library and hit that first link. Once you have your
YouTube account set up, you're going to be taken to your YouTube studio
right here, where you have access to all of these different tracks. And
according to the YouTube Audio licensee, you're free to use this or
you're tracking any of your videos, including videos that you monetize.
And we're not even looking at monetizing via these videos. So
after you've sampled some of these songs here and you find all that is
suitable you then just hit the download button. Now I don't know
suitable this one is what I'm using this one just as an example, just
drag and drop it here fitted in the beginning of the second track. Once
you did that, the next thing to do is come up to title and click Title.
And for simplicity, just select this foosball, a balloon to draw like
this, change the text color to white. The next line, you want
people to know that the link is in the description. Hit save. And to
place this in our YouTube shorts, all you'll have to do is hit project
files. It's right there, just take that drag and drop it into truck
tree and place it a few seconds after the video started. I want to
drag it out so that it's in the duration of the video, maybe even do
a transition on that wanted to feed in at the beginning. We don't block
the drone with that. So just click it, pull it down, make it a little
bit bigger than that. So let's look and hear how your
video songs so far. Okay, great. So now that you're finished with the
video, the last thing to do here is to export it by coming down to
export project and export the video. Remember to make sure that it's in
the HD vertical, export the video and when you're uploading it to
YouTube, make sure that the title includes pencil drawing time lapse
and hashtag shorts at the ending. Now how we're going to make money
with it is let's say you uploaded the video right here just like this
one. When somebody clicks the description just like this, you
would have a link to your product right here where they can click and
go on buy. And there are many products that you can link to. But
for the example in this video, what we're going to link to is a product
where somebody can learn to draw simple drawings, just like this one.
And this video course has over 40 hours of training. So don't worry,
you're not going to actually make this video course yourself because I
already did that for you. Well, not me. But this guy Tom here. Also his
name is not Tom, I don't even know his name. But he has a product here
where you can earn $32 for each sale that you make. And this is where
somebody would be redirected to after they click your link in the
description where they can learn to draw like a master artists with over
42 hours easy to follow training videos where they do all of the
selling for somebody to buy this showing how somebody used to draw
before and then how they can develop the skills to draw something like
this. Actually, this before version looks like something that I would
have to work my way up to remember you're not the one here trying to
learn how to draw, you're just directing the traffic via YouTube
shorts towards a product here for somebody actually interested in
learning how to draw. So after you've registered for a free account
on ClickBank, head up to marketplace, then come over in the
categories to arts and entertainment. And after you just
scroll down for a little bit, you will see pencil drawing made easy or
you can just search for pencil drawing made easy and define
products it promotes to get your affiliate link, the link that will
help you get paid to generate hop links copy a link so after somebody
looks at your YouTube shorty and is inspired to learn to draw like this
with the link in the description where you would have pasted your
link right here that you grabbed right here on Clickbank that is how
you're going to make this food sale. Now people may not buy it the first
time but they still might buy at a later time. So you need to save
their contact information specifically their email address so
that you can follow up with them. And I show you exactly how to set
that up in this video where you use proven emails that already generated
sales and automatically send those emails when you just set this up
once and for free. So be sure to check that out next
