[Music]
welcome back to the channel everybody my
name's artie and this is the moving
average a show where we discuss
everything day trading to keep you
profitable okay so first i'm gonna cater
to the people that clicked on this video
to find out how to get a bunch of
subscribers in a very short amount of
time and the strategies that i used to
do so then towards the end of this video
i'm gonna do a little bit of a giveaway
to
10 people yep 10 people instructions in
the description so i'm not going to give
away all these numbers immediately
because i want to build a little bit of
suspense but as you guys can see here on
wednesday march 10 2021
i started the moving average channel and
had a whopping zero views then you can
see over the next several months i got
like 20 views 60 views 100 views 300
views and then it really started to take
off i was getting a thousand views a day
and i was like yes i'm gonna be wildly
successful at this youtube thing finally
this is not my first channel however i
started another one which is like a vlog
type of thing inspired like casey
neistat type of deal
that grew very very slowly it took me a
year almost two years to get like 5 000
subscribers it was painfully slow
everybody ridiculed me but that entire
process helped me learn everything there
is to know about video editing seo title
tag descriptions and thumbnail youtube
is a process
do not skip it you need to learn the
basics and you need to get good on
camera then at the end of may things
took an upward slope and i was getting
40 30 50 000 views per day then i went
on vacation for three weeks to the
canary islands but when i got back
everybody was making videos on shiba inu
so i did the same thing which ended up
me subsequently buying some of that but
at one point i got
151
000 views in one day that's insane being
consistent with my video uploads and
being pretty consistent with the view
numbers pretty much any time that it
lagged out i was either on vacation or
completely burnt out with zero
motivation actually this was
up until the launch of the new project
so i was highly focused on that and not
so focused on youtube but overall in the
last 400 and some odd days a year and
four months essentially i got
17.7 million views across all of my
videos which i think there are about 180
videos right now the total watch time
for all of those videos is 1.5 million
hours 1.5 million hours people spent
watching my face
talking to myself in a room by myself
that's insane to me and during that time
i was able to amass
399.8 000 subscribers but the actual
live number is 400
189. now before i get into the absolute
revenue number that i made since the
beginning of this channel i want to talk
about the cpm and the rpm really quick
cpm is cost per milli which is basically
youtube's gross revenue per 1000 views
the rpm however is what i get so think
of it like any business there is gross
revenue and net revenue gross minus
costs is net net is what i take home and
then i have to pay taxes on it of course
but there are multiple categories of
youtube creators if you think about the
traditional vlogger that you see with
the selfie stick and like talking
they are making very very low cpms the
reason being is advertisers want to
target people in a specific age group
with a specific income level you don't
want to advertise to people who don't
have money so a typical vlogger not one
of the high-end super popular ones is
making between one and four dollar cpm
which means their take-home is like 40
cents to a dollar per thousand views now
somebody that reviews technology like
cell phones or laptops or headphones the
people watching those videos have the
money to purchase those products so they
are getting higher cpms they're looking
at about 10 to 17 dollar cpm which
offers them a much higher rpm anywhere
from 8 to 12
now my cpm is so high because i'm in the
personal finance game so my rpm is
extremely high at 12.20 if my videos
were 30 minutes or an hour long every
single one of them my rpm would probably
be around 20
22 but i know you guys don't want to sit
through a 30 minute video so i make them
short five to ten minutes now before i
get into the big number i want to
discuss how i did what i did this
youtube channel was essentially an
accident because my previous job was in
the cryptocurrency industry and through
that job i actually took it upon myself
to learn how to trade to make better
content for that company's youtube
channel through that process i became a
profitable trader and so i hated that
job and i kept trading until i had
enough money to quit that job and i
rented my own office so that i could
spend eight hours a day trading for
myself and making enough money to
support my family through that process
every single one of my friends would
text me and be like hey bro how are you
making so much money how are you able to
travel everywhere how are you able to
buy all these bikes and so i told them
about day trading and then they had
questions about date trading so i would
have the same exact response to every
single one of them teaching them
individually how to trade i got
absolutely exhausted from doing this
saying the same thing over and over
against what i ended up doing was
recording a video on the topic and every
time somebody had a question i would
send them that video so i wouldn't have
to repeat myself and then i realized
that other people might want this too so
why help five of my friends when i can
help as many people as possible get to
financial independence that's when i
decided to open up the moving average
youtube channel and it started with the
basics trend lines support and
resistance fibonacci retracements what's
a pip what's a lot what's an index
what's a 4x pair and i went through all
of the basics and the reason my channel
took off so fast was because when
somebody visited my channel they already
had 90 videos worth of content to watch
because for the first month i made three
videos every single day i wanted a
plethora and a deep engulfing enticing
delicious library for people to get
involved in once they saw that i had a
bunch of content they decided to click
that subscribe button once i got more
subscribers and more likes on every one
of my videos youtube saw me as a new
creator that was making waves and they
started pushing more and more of my
content meaning that i started in march
and by the time may rolled around i had
made so much noise that youtube was like
show this guy off and that's exactly
what they did one of my videos how to
grow a small forex account has been
shown to over 27 million pairs of
eyeballs that video now has 1.2 million
views so if you guys are looking for the
secret sauce to growing a youtube
channel massive amounts of content good
production quality
learn video seo search title
tags descriptions
everything needs to be rankable your
thumbnail needs to have big huge words
and letters that are captivating because

somebody's attention to get them to
click on a video all right the number
that you guys have all been waiting for
