This video is about getting paid to relax. No, it's not. It's about
making videos about relaxing, and it would be more relaxing. If you were
getting paid from making those videos. It just so happens that this
is about relaxing YouTube videos. Now I'm almost certain that you've
seen some videos like this show up on YouTube and your login may not
necessarily be about falling asleep in under three minutes. But videos
with thumbnails just like these here. Most sleep music 24/7 Asleep
meditation, relaxation music, the truth is that these videos get a lot
of views. Not only that this one is getting 319 million views over the
past five years. But according to vid IQ, this video gets 7.7 1000
views per hour. So basically, I want to try and figure out how I can get
something like this started as well. And if you want, you can follow
along with me to try how you can do the same thing. But what I'm going
to do is this, I'm going to look at a few channels that are doing this
for some time now look at how much money they're probably making. And
also look at some very small channels who are just starting off,
because I will be one of those channels as well. And closer to the
ending of this video, I will look at how you could possibly replicate the
same type of video what is until in the video, how they're getting their
content, what music is playing in the background, and how you can
start quickly putting together videos like these on YouTube. Okay,
so the first big channel that we're going to look at is one called
meditation, relaxed music, which was 2.5 million subscribers. This is
really interesting over the last set it is this channel got 4.8 1 million
views getting 7.1 1000 subscribers. And you won't believe this, this
channel didn't upload for the past three months. The last video is
three months ago, that one video from three months ago gets 17 views
per hour. Do you imagine that three months ago and still making so many
millions of views per month. But what is 4.8 1 million views per
month amount to according to Social Blade, this works up to 1.2 1000 to
$19,800 per month earnings. So let's say we were to average that at
$10,000 per month. And that's 10,000 per month passive income because
they don't know anything for the past three months. But yet they're
getting these consistent views and consistent subscribers, which as you
can see this is a day by day play here. Estimated Earnings up to $707.
Not sure what happened on Thursday, but almost $1,000 On Friday, almost
$1,000 with doing nothing. Now I don't expect if I start a channel
like this, that it will just kick off like that. Obviously there's
work to do upfront, and things to put in place to make sure that your
channel is successful. But what is that, let's see what they do. If you
think about it, a lot of times somebody when somebody clicks one of
these videos, they don't know what it sounds like before they click it,
just putting myself in somebody's shoes like that. It's these images
that are captivating, it's really good photos here, that makes
somebody want to click, it doesn't necessarily have to say relax
quickly. This photo here of the moon clouds, the stars meet somebody want
to click as well as this one here, as well as the rest of these
thumbnails here is really good thumbnails with high quality photos,
I guess they found some that are working. So it only made sense to
replicate the success from the previous videos. This one was
streamed a year ago, and has almost 600,000 views with 36 views per hour
to this date on this other big channel has a similar trend, finding
a theme that works for them the amount of views per hour that these
videos has been getting. Now you may be seeing that some of these
channels has over a million subscribers and maybe unrelatable. I
agree. So let's quickly look at a few channels that are under 1000
subscribers, and what they're doing to make their way towards
monetization. Now to quickly find that out, I use this tool called vid
IQ where not only you can use this to find the right keywords to use
for your videos to rank on. But there's one of the plans that allows
you to find videos with channels that are under 1000 subscribers, but
many other features here as part of a detailed search. So what I did
here is I filtered by under 1000 subscribers, and I search for
meditation relaxing videos. And there are few channels here that
popped up. And all of these are under 1000 subscribers and their
videos are getting over 100 views per hour. There's one hiccup on
meditation his life with only 653 subscribers, whereby a few of the
videos took off. This one has 86,000 views, that's still getting 92 views
per hour. And according to Social Blade, this channel here if it was
monetized, and they're close to that, with only 300 subscribers
away, their estimated earnings are between $25.03 $193 whereby with a
daily breakdown, they'll be making over $10 per day with this brand new
channel. Here's another one called remounting relaxing music
that just passed the 1000 subscriber mark and what this type of content
they most likely made the minimum watch hours required for
monetization over the last 30 days at over 90,000 views and according
to Social Blade, there is a possibility that some days in May
Almost $75 Could be, and that's with only 1.6 1000 subscribers. Now even
though they only about two times bigger than the channel meditation
is life only make around $10 per day. The possible reason for that is
well, obviously the views but actually clicking the videos to get
more views. If you notice these thumbnails are not that interesting.
So the aim is to for meditation and relaxation, these thumbnails are not
as enticing as the thumbnails on this romantic relaxation music
channel with 1.6 1000 subscribers, it seems as though they found a
thumbnail system that is working here, just like those bigger YouTube
channels, all of them stayed romantic, relaxing music, but it has
a similar look and feel. And with the vid IQ tool I have installed,
you can see the amount of views and these channels are getting per hour.
And they are uploading daily, whereby the most recent video was
uploaded four hours ago. And it's getting 165 views per hour with
almost 2000 views on that video already. So that has already
surpassed the amount of subscribers. This channel is a very good example
of something to replicate. So what I'm going to do is look at channels
that are similar to this and what they're doing to grow a channel
around relaxing type videos, whereby what we've seen is posting
consistently making great thumbnails that don't make somebody want to
click them. And of course, after finding something that is working,
that is getting plenty clicks then make more like that. The last thing
I will do is take a look at one of these videos and see how you can
possibly replicate something like this. That is simple piano music
playing in the background, ambient noises and stock footage, just
playing one after the other. And that is same thing, throw the entire
video all the way up until the ending. And that's pretty much it.
Now the approach I'm going to use this is I don't want to spend any
money to get this started. That is until of course I'm making money
with it. To get the stock videos, you can use a site called Pixabay,
where you can get all that content for free by simply hitting this
images here choosing videos, and we just saw some waterfalls. So you can
search for waterfalls that has a list of royalty free videos that you
can use in your YouTube videos. By simply clicking it and hitting free
download, you can pretty much search for anything else like maybe sunset.
Here's an h1 here with a sunset under waterfall. So what you can do
is drag and drop this into a video editor. There are video editors that
you could use for free and put this to loop. So we'll have this playing
over and over for an hour two hours long. There's a popular video editor
here called open shot where you can download this for free, you don't
have to spend a cent to use this. And it's a simple drag and drop
editor. We dropped the footage and then put it to repeat. So you can
just hit download and try that out yourself. Now what I'll be using as
Adobe Premiere Pro, because it's what I already use for editing these
YouTube videos. But openshot is fine to start with. Now you're probably
wondering where you're going to get those relaxing audio files for free.
Well, the truth is there audio libraries like Epidemic Sound that
has a lot of high quality audio files that you can use, but it's not
free show there is a free trial, but eventually you have to pay for it.
And even though it's not that expensive, I'd actually recommend to
not spend any money to start, what you can do is just use the YouTube
Audio Library that's free. So once you create your YouTube channel and
you come down here to YouTube studio, on the left hand side here
we have the option for audio library. So just search for
something here like ambience or relaxing or something like that. And
as you can see here, there are many different audio files that you can
download. And in case you're not sure if you can use this, according
to YouTube, you're free to use this audio track in any of your videos
including videos that you monetize, no attribution is required. So you
don't even need to see that so you don't even have to mention the
artists name or the song here. And there's a lot of good stuff to use
for these types of videos and the song greatest start with right and
you're not spending one cent and then the video editor of your
choice, you can just put that song on repeat playing behind those
different royalty free videos. Now that is exactly what I'm going to
do. And only when the channel is monetized and I'm making money from
this and only at that point I would start using something like epidemics
song to get a wider variety of audio files to choose from. Now if you
like videos like this one, then you're gonna want to check out this
video next when I do a similar type of research, but it's for a
different niche. It's in the health niche where people have found not
just one way to monetize a channel like that. So check that out.
