hi everyone welcome back to my channel it's Greg Kononenko the Caffenaited Blogger
here and in this video i'm gonna show you exactly how i've made these
commissions of two hundred and seventy nine dollars and forty cents from just
one video the reason why i've decided to make this video is to record a case
study to make it real to show you that this can actually be done and anyone can
do this as long as you follow the steps that i'm
going to show you in this video there is nothing complicated involved at all zero
so let's do this so this is a case study once again two hundred and seventy nine
dollars from just one video so let me give you a first of all give you a sort
of a full demo and breakdown of exactly how i have done this so the video that
we're going to be looking at is this video here how to get traffic to your
website fast 2019 you can find this video on my channel and as you can see
it has had almost forty thousand views in about two-and-a-half months so i
recorded this video and uploaded it on the 26th of september it's currently
getting approximately ten to twenty nine views per hour okay and this video is
about getting traffic to the website but this can work in any niche these
techniques that i'm gonna show you here they can be applied in any niche and
they work just the same in pretty much any niche that you can possibly think of
okay now the the video is about getting traffic to your website and in this
video one of the tools that I'm talking about is tailwind
it's a tool that I use myself it's a great tool to get traffic from Pinterest
to your website so I talked a little bit about that in the video and then I've
got an affiliate link here in the description of the video and then if
anyone clicks on this affiliate link and they signup to to tell wind through my
fill that link then I get paid a commission so now let me show you some
of the stats here for the Commission okay so first of all let's look at
October because this is when I implemented it some time through mid
middle of October roughly when I implemented the
affiliate links on I was waiting to get approved basically by tailwind so I had
537 unique hits and seven to two dollars in commissions in October okay seven to
2.73 then let's switch this over to November so from the first of November
seal the last day of November I'm going to filter the results and it is 170 169
170 169 + 1 71 69 + then I'm gonna go here to December from the 1st of
December till the 7th so till today's date I filter the results and you can
see that I made 34 98 so 34 98 okay so there we have it two hundred and seventy
nine dollars and forty cents in just two months and with one video now don't
forget that I do this with a lot of videos I also do it on my website at
cetera etc so this is just the case study of this one video of the power of
having one video out there that is consistent it's like a mining machine
that once you put it out there it can consistently generate traffic and
generate sales for you guys okay so here's the video you know you can watch
this video if you want i delay the point in time to sort of get an idea about it
here are the earnings now let's talk about how you can do something similar
okay so like I said you guys can implement this in any Nisha does not
have to be in the online marketing initiative in the weight loss niche it
can be in parenting niche there are affiliate offers in all different sorts
of niches out there so you can implement the same concepts that I'm gonna explain
to here in any niche that you can possibly think of so first of all let's
talk about YouTube ranking basics so YouTube is a really really amazing
traffic platform it can generate sales and generate views for you in literally
any niche that you can possibly think about the way that I get traffic to this
video here is if you search for how to get traffic to your website that video
that I came up with is actually ranking as number one and it's ranking as a as a
matter of fact it's ranked as number one for a number of different terms you can
see here here all the different tags and it's ranking
for a lot of these tags that's ranked number one for website traffic for
increase website traffic and so on as as number one now what how do you actually
make a video that has the potential of ranking on the front page of YouTube
search so there are few things involved no one kind of really knows exactly how
you can do this but there are a few things that definitely help and what
really helps is having high retention so if you go into the analytics reports on
YouTube for a YouTube video you will be able to see that inside you can find the
retention percentage I'm going to show that in just a second
alright so here we are inside my analytics dashboard and you can see that
the video that I just showed you how to get traffic to your website well it's
had the biggest amount of watch time but basically it's got an average view
duration of four and a half minutes roughly and average percentage viewed is
33% so that's actually quite good you will be able to see that I have a lot of
videos that have lower percentage viewed 18 19 and so on but the other metric
that's important to keep in mind of course is the average view duration so
for a 1 hour long video your average percentage of youth might be lower but
you have an interview duration might be higher so YouTube seems to like long
average watch time of course there are other factors involved and so on but in
general what I find is that if a video has a high average percentage viewed
like this one for example how to get traffic from Pinterest I've got 40%
retention you know that's another one that I another search term that I
actually rank really well for and this one 33 so anything that's got kind of
like in the low 20s or below that seems to perform worse I believe that I'm
still ranking as number one for how to get traffic from Pinterest let's just
quickly double check that show you as well yes I actually ranked as number one
as well and I think a lot of it is because of high percentage average
percentage viewed at 40% as you guys just saw okay so that's one thing so I
find that 30 percent or higher for approximately 10 15 minute video is a
really good mark to aim for that is of course driven by good content
that people will continue watching okay you don't want to be boring on camera or
anything like that the other thing that really helps is good click-through rate
of the thumbnail so you can once again you can get that from Google Analytics I
find that a couple of my thumbnails that are not so good I suppose that two to
three percent they seem to affect the rankings in a negative way even if my
retention is reasonably good so you want to try and hit both those and how do you
actually get a good click-through rate of the thumbnail well it's driven by
experimentation you know you can try to model your thumbnails after the
thumbnails of other successful videos or other successful channels that seems to
be the best way and lastly you want to get a good optimization for your tags
and keywords which I'm going to talk you through in just a moment so how can you
actually replicate the whole process all right if you're in the fitness niche or
if you're in a travel niche or if you're in an online marketing niche then how
can you actually replicate it and how can you start doing the same thing how
can you start putting out videos that get the views and then start promoting
various things perhaps if you need products in the description so your
first step is to find keywords with low competition alright if you're if you're
a new channel this really really helps because you want to start ranking for
some low difficulty keywords just at least start getting some news start
getting some subscribers because it will help you to get to that first hundred
then to the first 500 and first 1,000 subscribers so how do I actually find
keywords with low competition well I use an extension called vid IQ it's actually
really really good and I'm gonna show you how IV docu works so the way that IQ
works is you can see in the right-hand side any keyword that you type in so you
remember we just typed in how to get traffic from Pinterest it will bring up
this panel here with the search term and by the way vid IQ is if you just want to
download me like you it's a video cue toolbar you can download it for
definitely for Chrome I believe there are maybe it's just for Chrome I'm not
entirely sure you might have to use the Chrome
for it now once you've enabled it it will open up this little panel here and
it will tell you the keywords course of what is the search score are there a lot
of people searching for it or not okay and it will also tell your competition
score there is another bunch of other very useful statistics here that it will
tell you but the main things that I recommend to look for is search volume
and competition score so you want to go for keywords with low competition score
so to bring it back to my video the reason the way that I determined
that I can rank for how to get traffic to your website is because I looked at
me like you okay and the way to generate those keywords and those ideas one of
the ways is to use YouTube's prediction so for example if your topic is for how
to lose weight all right let's just step away here from online marketing ish for
a second it will bring up suggestions so lose weight overnight lose weight
hypnosis lose weight while you sleep you can make a video for each of those but
you can actually implement some nice tricks such as you go here to the front
you type in an underscore and then space and that's gonna bring up various things
before your search phrase so for example how to lose weight fast diet plan to
lose weight fast I mean would you have thought of a key word diet plan to lose
weight fast unless you came up with it using this technique
this can be very very powerful because as much as there is keyword research
tools are good this is the the most precise way to research keywords is by
this prediction tool bar I've been using it with great success myself you can see
that it brings up brilliant keywords that no one would have even thought
about like what I eat in a day to lose weight how to lose weight without
exercise what we to lose weight so let's just have a look here what I eat in a
day to lose weight all right if you look at this it will tell you we like you
will tell you that competition score for that is actually quite high okay and
search volume is sort of a little bit lower so it just means that you have to
start you know tene you're looking so it would be
something like weight loss for all right and then we type in something here at
the start so how to use weight loss for apple cider vinegar so that's a real
thing that people actually type in but actually if you guys look at it you will
see that if I search for how to use weight loss for apple cider vinegar
right so this search term that it was suggested even though it says vid IQ
competitions cost 67 you will actually see that if I take this okay and look
for this exact key phrase in the title of the videos here the way that I do
this is normally control f and then press paste and start looking nine of
these videos actually have this key phrase okay so even though it says it's
pretty tough based on the videos that appear here none of the videos has got
that exact key phrase in the title so this could be a potential for you guys
to make a video because none of the video is directly compete with that
because none of them actually have this exact phrase in the title right this one
says apple cider vinegar detox to beat belly fat and so on so this is an
example of a keyword that's pretty much completely open now the way that I came
up with the keyword for my video how to get traffic to your website I was
looking for various traffic related keywords and I went get traffic then I
typed in the spice here and the top one that came up was how to get traffic to
your website when I checked it in Vedic here I saw that the vdq competition
score for it is just twenty okay and the search volume is pretty good and so I
thought this actually looks like a really really good potential keyword for
me to go after because like you know I have some good results with a lot of my
websites and I can show other people how to get traffic so as you can see my
point basically with all of this is that you can definitely do it you can find
competition low competition keywords in virtually any niche even if you have a
brand new channel you just need to use the right tools use v like you
use a little bit of your research skills and you will be able to find lower
competition excellent targeted phrases now what you need to do
after that is to create videos that are at least as good as the competition so
don't think that you have to create amazing videos that are just like
top-of-the-line it helps obviously but your videos just have to be as good as
the competition videos and at the end of the day guys
you know half the videos that I put out don't do well but I do get you know
maybe 10 or 20% of the videos that I make they end up making hundreds and
hundreds and some are close to a thousand daily views it's just about
putting them out there and getting the traffic and driving the traffic to their
fill it links in your description the other thing that you need to do is
create compelling thumbnails we sort of talked about it before but I think the
thing just breaking down kind of my campaign I think the thing that is
probably helping me and what I always check first is the thumbnails on the
front page of when I type in that search term into YouTube what do the thumbnails
look like and how do I make mine stand out you know I saw that there are a lot
of thumbnails that are quite white and blue all right and nothing kind of that
when I looked at it you know the green ones kind of stand out but I wanted to
make and I think the one that also stands out is this one because there is
one two nine zero and something is something is circled so it really draws
your eye you know and commands attention but I I went for a purple one with this
one because it really stands out and I think it helps with the click-through
rate and given everything else is if everything else is equal YouTube will
actually give preference to videos with compelling thumbnails you also in my
opinion and I mean in my experience it helps to write 1,000 character
description or so addressing all of the tags that you target so I'll show you an
example for this particular video I entered all of these tags right and with
Vedic q it makes it very very easy because v like you actually shows you
the tags that all of the videos use so you can just copy the tags that are
relevant to your video from other videos that are ranking quite highly and then I
try to walk II work in those tags into the description so I
if you look at the description that I've written you can do this in your own time
but I'm actually put in these phrases website traffic and how to get traffic
to your blog how to increase website traffic
I've worked them all into the description of the video here because
this helps YouTube understand that your video is about these tags that you also
add it to your video so it's in my opinion it's very important I know that
not everyone does it and a lot of people still end up doing well but since this
is a case that I'm sort of just explaining to you guys how I do things
so that's it in terms of how you can actually find the keywords and how you
can create the videos and you know I've given you the full rundown in terms of
what you guys can do to actually make money is let me show you what I've done
here so I recommend without going too crazy and adding you know 20 different
links or two different affiliate offers I recommend putting your affiliate link
into the description of your video generally one or two targeted links do
well what I also do is I always include a link to the opt-in page alright so
this first link if I click that that actually takes others to join my email
list I'm getting a lot of subscribers every single day from YouTube so it's a
good idea to build your list and you can also include affiliate links to the
related products if there is some kind of a relevant product that you mentioned
or even if you don't mention a product in the video but you just think that
this product would be a perfect complement to the video then you can
include the affiliate link in here I also recommend for you guys to be
careful and include the I feel a disclaimer there are some FTC rules if
you're in a country that has got some rules where you need to be compliant
with FTC requirements it's always good to put in an affiliate disclosure next
to your affiliate link okay so to make money from me videos I
recommend to put in the affiliate links build an email list in my example you
know you guys obviously welcome to have a look at exactly how I do it on my
videos so that's pretty much it it's really about just putting those videos
out there you don't need to make it overly complicated it's free right you
don't have to build a website you don't have to even buy a domain you can start
doing YouTube pretty much today it's a platform that's just really
really brilliant you can make money from acting it links I haven't even in this
video I haven't even talked about how much money I've made from YouTube ads
with this video I've made several hundred dollars in YouTube ads as well
so you know from that perspective it's been really really profitable as well so
thank you so much for watching guys if you think that this kind of video is
where I step you through exactly what I have done you know with my other
campaigns with my videos with my website traffic with Pinterest traffic if you

get those kind of videos from me where I break down my campaigns show you my
exact stats and everything else because this is like I said it's a bit of an
experiment I don't know if these kind of videos will do well or not whether you'd
