Hey, everybody, how you doing? Judd Albring here, and welcome to this video. Today,
I'm going to talk to you about how to make rain videos on YouTube, updated and explained.
You might remember this video from a little over a year ago. We received over 300,000 views.
Thank you very much. But even more than that, we received thousands and thousands of comments
from you guys. So thank you very much. So now in this video, I want to address some
of those comments and some of the changes that have taken place since making that video.
Now, before we do that, if you're interested in work from anywhere opportunities, tips,
and tricks, then please consider subscribing and hitting that bell notification so you get
notified every single week when new content comes out. And if you could do me a huge solid and just
punch that like button right in the face for me, so the good people at YouTube know, "Hey,
people want more of this content." All right, everybody. So there are three
things that I want to cover in today's video. So number one is the do's and don'ts of making
rain videos, meditation videos, to make sure that you're doing this the right way,
the safe way, and the ethical way. Number two is, I want to share with you guys
how you can start monetizing these videos and not simply rely on YouTube only.
Number three is, I want to share with you guys once and for all exactly how I edit these videos.
So I'm going to go right into my computer here in a moment, and I'm going to show you how I take a
five minute video and turn it into two hours of video, 10 hours, or even 20 hours of video.
My first do's and don't always check policies and procedures before moving forward with any
type of YouTube venture. Always check the latest and greatest from YouTube, because things are
changing all the time. Plus, anywhere you get your copyright free or royalty free information from,
still check the guidelines, check the laws, and make sure that you are allowed to use it in this
fashion. What do I mean by that? That you are allowed to monetize this material, that you
are allowed to profit from this material. All right, now, a do not, which is greatly,
greatly going to help you if you're already doing this. Do not buy videos or sounds off of Fivver.
Why? Because here's what's happening. People are buying it off of Fivver, and guess what? They're
reselling the same content over and over. And YouTube is extremely smart. So YouTube will know
when a duplicate piece of content has come up.
So eventually, you're going to get shut down. So do not do that.
Also, this will help separate you from all the other people out there
when you create original content. Make sure to stick around to the end, because I'm going
to show you exactly how to do that. You want to make sure that you understand
all of the laws when it comes to commercial and non-commercial material. A lot of people think,
"Well, if I'm given commercial rights, I can do whatever I want with it. I can profit,
I can make money." No, you cannot. Make sure you read everything before you press record.
Most of us want to make as much money as we possibly can from ad sets. But unfortunately,
that's not always going to be the case. So we must have a backup plan. How do we do that? With
affiliate marketing. There are amazing places out there where you can go right now for free,
like ClickBank, JVZoo, Digistore 24, and all of these places have affiliate programs that you
can sign up for. So if you're doing something in meditation, you could find something in the
meditation, yoga, health and wellness niche, and you could have links to those products
below your video. So if your video does not get monetized or has trouble getting monetized, at
least in the meantime, people can go and check out your description and purchase products that way,
and you can get a percentage of it. Lastly, number three, guys,
let's jump right into it. I'm going to show you guys how to take these videos,
take the audio, and loop it into one hour, two hour, 10 hours, or even 20. Let's take a look.
All right, guys, I'm going to show you exactly how I go about doing this.
One of the first places I go to is called Pexels, Pexels.com. Now there are other free royalty-free
sites available. As I mentioned earlier in the video, make sure to always check the guidelines,
the terms, the policies, and make sure that the videos you are using,
you are allowed to use them. Everybody has slightly different rules and regulations,
so make sure you just follow everything, follow the laws. Not just the laws of-
Hey guys, if you're enjoying the content so far, please comment below. Let me know
what you think. I'd love to hear from you. -Not just the laws of the online laws, right,
and respecting people's work, but also YouTube guidelines. Okay. I can't stress that enough
because things are always changing. But Pexels, it's as simple as coming here,
and say I'm doing something on a storm, okay? So, there's tons and tons of sky and wind and rain.
Now, one way to do this, right, which is the most common question people always ask me is,
how do I make the video longer, right? How do I take four minutes and turn it into an hour,
or five hours, or 10 hours? Well, there's a couple of ways you can do it. One, you can
obviously look for a longer video, but most of the time the videos are two minutes, three minutes,
five minutes, okay. And one thing you can do is you can take 3, 4, 5, as many clips as you want
and edit them together to make one long clip. What I like to do is take one or two videos that
I might want to work with. So for the sake of doing this, let me just download this now. Right
here you'll see this is the download button, the arrow, and all I have to do is click that button.
Now, you can see here it says video by Why Steve from Pexels. So our creators
love hearing from you and seeing how you use their photos, so your appreciation by donating,
tweeting, and following. Now, you don't have to do this,
but one thing I would do is in the description of my YouTube video, just to play it safe is, I would
add this, and I would say "Video by Why Steve from Pexels". Just put it in your description
so people know that's who you're using. That's just a cover yourself and play it safe.
Now, I've got my video that I want to use. Now, I'm going to go and get my sound. I use Epidemic
Sound, guys. Now this is a paid program, but I believe it's only about $12 a month, guys. That
is personal for creating content. Now commercial license is $25 a month. But you can see here,
there's obviously a big asterisk, so there's going to be limits. But as you scroll down,
you'll see all the various things that you can do here. And I would also, you can go to the search
bar and search the basic rules and regulations. If you're serious about making a go with a
meditation channel or rain channel on YouTube, then I would recommend getting a commercial
license for $25 a month. That is absolutely pennies to pay to run a business online,
okay? If you're just going to make one video, two videos, then there's no reason to even
be watching this video. But if you're serious about doing it, you can try it for free below.
Okay. Use my referral link. It is a referral link, so thank you. But then see how you do
and you can always bump up and go to the commercial, okay? So enough about that.
So let's go and we're going to go to sound effects here in the top right, and you can see it's going
to give me all this different types of stuff. Now, there's already a link for water, fire, and
this is where you can stand out. There's different weather links, there's waves, all these different
things. Musical. As you get better at this, you can start to create a niche for yourself.
Now I'm going to go to water because that's what I'm doing. Indoor pool, bubbles, water.
Let's see here. Waterfall, all kinds of stuff. Splash. You can see I'm doing this off the cuff
guys. Nothing's coming out... Drop. Let's see if that's rain, water drop. All right. So I'm
going to go to the search. I'm just going to type in rain. Okay. There we go. Rain, 131.
Okay. Now, I can also go up here to best match and I can search by length, longest first.
So you can see here, the longest one is five minutes. Thunderstorm rain, three, let's take
a listen to this here. All
right, so that's perfect. So we're going to download that. So see, thunderstorm rain.
It's going to be downloaded as what's called an MP3. And I'm going to show you how I edit
this year here. Date added, so today. So here you can see that is my thunderstorm sound.
That is my video. I'm just going to add those.
Okay. Simple as that. Now, ScreenFlow is a drag and drop tool,
but basically everything you see me do here you can do and the same processes will apply.
Typically, you're going to have some sort of edit, right? Trim, edit type feature. Okay.
All right. So you can see the video is only, I want to make this longer. So how do I do that?
Well, first of all, what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy, this is real simple guys.
This is how you make your videos longer. This is what you've all been waiting for, right?
So I'm simply going to copy and paste. Now on a Mac, I do command, copy, V.
Now I'm going to slightly overlap these, you see this here, how it's overlapped? Now watch.
All right. I don't want it to just jump, okay. If it jumps,
then people are going to notice it. So what I want to do is slightly overlap them. Now watch.
Okay. So I could even make it a little bit, I could stretch it out and make
it a little bit tighter. Let's take a look and see what it looks like without.
Okay. So I like it just, could even do it a little bit more.
Okay. See how that just went together there, synced together? That's what you want. Same
thing with the sound. Now, I'm not going to go through and do, that would take too much
time to do it. But what I would simply do is take my longer piece, copy paste. Okay.
And I do the same thing again. Now I'd get this to where I'm up to an hour, which
it would only take me a few minutes to do that, it's not a big deal.
Then, once I get a full hour clip, then I can take that entire one hour clip,
copy, paste. Now I have two hours. Copy, paste. Now I have four hours, and so on.
Does that make sense? That's how you do it. So get your first 60 minutes of material together.
Then, you have one full hour, then you just copy paste the one hour, turn it into two,
take the two, turn it into four. Real simple. And you're going to do the same thing with the sound.
Also with the sound you want to overlap the sound just like I did here. So I'd copy, paste.
