Transcripts
it genuinely blows my mind that people
aren't using these simple strategies to
get monetized on YouTube faster I just
monetized one of my newest faceless
YouTube channels in under 30 Days by
applying these techniques and I did that
to prove to you that this is not luck
I've been running successful faceless
YouTube channels since I was in high
school and I know for a fact that
growing successful YouTube channels is
more than just luck and these strategies
are exactly how I'm running over a dozen
different faceless YouTube channels I
got me play buttons just like this and
my absolute fastest record for getting
monetized on a brand new channel and
meeting the threshold of 4,000 hours of
watch time and 1,000 subscribers which
allows you to put ads on your videos and
then you in turn get a cut of that ad
revenue is in just under 2 weeks in 13
days I was able to enter the YouTube
Partner program which is absolutely
insane and most channels do not do it
that fast in fact most of my channels
that I run have not done it that fast
now at this point you might be saying
Matt 4,000 hours of watch time 1,000
subscri ders isn't it going to take
forever to reach those milestones and
see that's the problem a lot of people
are intimidated by these numbers and
they think they're so big but what a lot
of people don't understand is that it's
simply a math equation for example my
personal channel that you're watching
right now make money matth it gets
nearly 4,000 hours of watch time every
single day now at this point you might
be saying Matt but it's taking you years
to build up this Channel and get to that
point and my answer to that is
absolutely however you only have to get
4,000 hours of watch time total on the
history of your entire Channel and let's
break down the math so we're not
intimidated by this just understanding
this and understanding the math behind
this is the first step for making this
happen let's say you were to take a
month and go all in on YouTube meaning
you upload a new video every single day
for the entire month and let's say that
every one of your videos is about 12
minutes on average in length and let's
say each one of those videos has an
average view duration of about 50% now
we might be being optimistic we might be
even estimating low for some channels
every channel is different these are
just estimations that would mean that
you're getting 6 minutes of watch time
for every new view that you get and in
order to get 4,000 hours of watch time
you would only need 40,000 views now you
might be saying Matt 40,000 sounds like
a huge number but it's really not if we
break it down between 30 different
videos if we take a whole month
uploading a new video daily in fact you
only need a little bit over a, views per
video and this number can go even lower
if you upload more videos now
realistically you're not going to get
the same amount of views between all of
your videos obviously in fact most of
your views are going to come from a
small percentage of your uploads
typically what I've seen across my
YouTube channels is that around 90% of
the views come from only 10% of my
videos and those 10% or would drive the
majority of views so even if a lot of
your videos barely get any views if you
only have a couple pop off you can still
hit that 40,000 total views across your
channel 100% And also most of your first
videos are barely going to get any views
but then a couple may explode if you
implement the right strategies and I'm
going to be sharing some secrets with
you in this video now you might be
thinking Matt that sounds great but what
about the Thousand subscribers I have to
get how am I going to get that well you
see on average four YouTube channels the
average channel has a 1 to 3% view to
subscriber ratio this means that for
every 100 views that an average channel
gets they get 1 to three subscribers now
for my faceless channels it's more like
1% whereas on my personal channel right
here it's upwards of 3% so let's put
your number somewhere in the middle
let's say you get two subscribers for
every 100 views that you get so for
those 40,000 views that we estimated if
just 2% of people subscribe you're going
to get 800 subscribers which pretty much
brings you all the way there it's only a
matter of time till you hit 1K now just
a little disclaimer this is obviously a
hypothetical scenario and every channel
is different I can't guarantee that if
you upload videos every day you're going
to automatically get 100 subscribers
however I want to help you hit that
Milestone as fast as possible so I'm
going to break down my secrets that I've
learned on my decade here on the
platform and what I can guarantee is
that I'm going to straight up show you
what I've done you see most people on
YouTube they guess and hope what is
going to work however not many people
actually go with a plan and a strategy
and I want that to be different for you
I wish I had a video like this when I
was first starting my channel so let's
get into secret number one you see a
common mistake that a lot of YouTubers
make when they're first starting on the
platform is guessing what is going to
work and what's not and you can't really
blame them because they just don't don't
know and I personally was the exact same
way but a huge advantage that you can
have if you're just starting a channel
is to just not guess literally just take
inspiration and model what has already
worked on YouTube and if you see
multiple videos on a certain subject
that you're thinking about doing getting
over 100,000 views then check that box
that could be an incredible video to
model and this may seem trivial but this
is actually how you get monetized on
YouTube fast now let's get into secret
number two and this is something not a
lot of people think about and it's a
little bit outside the box but trust me
this works amazing once you find a few
good video ideas on some different
channels consider combining them into a
single video let me explain for example
on my personal Channel you're watching
right here my two top videos are the
laziest way to make money online and
then also how to make money on YouTube
without making videos those are my two
top videos so if we combined them what
would that title look like well if we do
some thinking here we could do a title
similar to laziest way to make money on
YouTube without making videos so we're
taking two aspects that have already
worked if they're within a single Niche
this could be a match made in heaven and
you can take inspiration from already
viral YouTube channels so let's say
you're starting a faceless YouTube
channel like a lot of my audience is and
let's say you're going into the travel
retirement Niche which helps people
figure out which countries are the best
to retire in and as you can see this
channel right here called scary hairy
does exactly this gets a ton of views by
the way doing this and let's say we want
to implement this technique of combining
two already popular videos what you can
essentially do is take a look at a few
of these videos like if we're going
through here as as you can see one of
the videos is 10 easiest countries to
retire comfortably and another top video
is 15 safest countries to live so what
if we combine them and we did 15 safest
countries to retire comfortably right so
I just want to show that this concept
works for all types of channels for
Evergreen content and if you're
combining topics within a single Niche
however you can even look outside of
your Niche to see what types of videos
are working and hopefully you can get
some more ideas from that now let's get
into secret number three which is if you
see titles thumbnails and topics working
well on other people's Channel they
could potentially do really well for you
also for example if you see that within
your Niche there's a lot of text in
thumbnails or the contrary if you see
that faces in thumbnails seem to do good
within your Niche make sure to model
that and double down on what works and
cut out what doesn't now you're probably
asking Matt if I do all this and model
what works how is my video going to
stand out isn't it going to just be one
among thousands of other videos out
there on YouTube that are the exact same
and the answer to it why people would
watch your video over others people's is
value and here's how you can make your
videos more valuable and this will in
turn help you get monetized way faster
as well cuz at the end of the day the
algorithm is literally just a reflection
of people watching it to a large degree
and it's pretty easy in theory to make
your videos very valuable and here's how
you do it what you do is open up three
of the top videos within the topic that
you're thinking about and then watch
through each video sometimes I like to
do this at 2x speed and write down all
the top points from all three of the top
videos and then incorporate these points
into the scripts in your videos and you
will give 10 times the amount of value
as any one of those videos cuz it'll all
be in one for your desired end audience
another great strategy is to go into the
comments section of those videos see
what questions people have any
additional comments or concerns or
anything like that and make sure to
answer those or include those within the
video to give that additional value so
that will make your video stand out a
lot more all we're really modeling is
for example the packaging of the video
and the video idea itself but our video
Will Stand Out by a ton if we implement
this secret that I just shared with you
and when I'm saying value I'm not just
talking about how to content either
value can be either educational or
entertainment value both of those are
value propositions Now secret number
four is to upload 30 to 60 videos on
your channel I recommend posting minimum
once per week on your channel in the
beginning and if you can upload three to
five times per week and if you really
want to take this seriously you can do
daily content if you can produce
valuable content as well now secret
number five is to make sure that your
content is monetizable cuz our worst
case scenario is uploading tons of
content to YouTube just to find out you
can't even monetize it in the first
place so what types of content can't you
monetize this is typically content like
Tik Tok compilations or YouTube
compilations where you don't change
anything else in the video and you're
just re-uploading Sports Clips or
something like that these can be things
that advertisers may not want to put
their videos on as well and I go way
more into this in my YouTube course tube
Mastery and monetization but essentially
my checklist for making sure that your
videos can get monetized is the
following number one follow YouTube's
fair use policy number two make sure to
have a human voice over or a very
realistic voice over Within in your
video number three make sure your
content is transformative and this in
part means giving additional value in
the form of your commentary on that
video and making it suitable for a
different Market than the original video
wasn't intended for and I'm not a lawyer
so this obviously isn't legal advice but
this is my understanding of it and now
secet number six which will help your
videos explode and get monetized way
faster is taking one of the juiciest
best parts of your video and putting it
at the very beginning of your video in
order to hook people and get their
attention this is especially applicable
if you're doing entertainment-based
faceless content and another thing you
can do is mention how at the end of the
video there's this extra hidden value
that will make them want to watch
through to the end of that video for
example if you're making a video about
the top 10 fastest cars you might want
to say something like and just wait for
number two and especially number one
these are cars you may not even believe
exist sneak peeks like this build
suspense and improve audience retention
and for example if a video has a 75%
audience retention rate at the beginning
of the video and 50% or more in the
middle it's very likely to go viral
across many niches obviously every Niche
is different and every circumstance is
different but these are the averages
that I found after uploading hundreds of
videos with over a million views each
and another thing you can do is ask a
question towards the beginning of your
video that then you immediately answer
and then another question Rises up and
you answer that one right after that
which is kind of what I'm doing with
this video and essentially the way of
structuring these videos really just
provides the end viewer with more value
and that's what we're trying to do at
the end of the day if people want to be
ENT ained you hook them and then you
give them a payoff if people want to
learn something you ask questions that
they're going to want to know about and
you invoke curiosity and then you answer
those questions and then ask the next
logical question and then answer that so
you're giving people value along the way
and also building up to a bigger payoff
in the end like for this video for
example your big payoff will be to get
your Channel monetized or get another
one of your channels monetized and the
reason this is important for getting
your channels monetized is that if
people watch your videos longer they do
better in the algorithm and you'll hit
those Milestones faster now see number
seven is to make longer videos because
longer videos will ACR more watch time
on average even if you only get 10%
audience retention on a 1H hour video
boom you just got 6 minutes of watch
time also if your videoos longer than 8
minutes you can put multiple ad breaks
throughout your video and that will
allow you once you get monetized to make
way more money but you don't just want
to make longer videos for the sake of
them being longer for example I've had
lots of videos blow up that are sub 10
minutes that are 5 minutes long for
example one of the top videos here on
make money mat's only about 5 minutes
long what you want to do if you do go
ahead and make longer content is to fill
that content with extra value so it's
worth it for people to watch as much of
that video videos at every length can go
viral because it's all relative and
there's more factors within the
algorithm for example session time if
people go from one of your videos to
another one of your videos but if you
want to get monetized fast consider just
making a couple of longer videos to see
how they do now secret number eight is
to get monetized before you ever even
get monetized and trust me I know that
sounds absolutely crazy and you're
probably asking how in the world world
would I ever do that and the answer is
that you just have to implement a simple
strategy which I'm going to be sharing
with you right now you see on this
channel you're watching right now I was
able to monetize this Channel with only
five videos on it and I started making
hundreds of dollars per day before the
channel ever got monetized with ads now
how did I do that with alternative
monetization sources now an alternative
monetization source is essentially a way
of making money from YouTube by
referring traffic somewhere else and
then making money either through selling
your own digital product or any type of
product or promoting somebody else's
product as an affiliate now if you go
the affiliate route and promote somebody
else's product I personally would make
sure that it's a high payout partner
digital product that means that it's
charging over $500 so you'll get at
least $250 every sale you refer and
digital product means that it can be
fulfilled digitally and the best type of
digital product is an online course now
I have an online course called tube
Mastery and we've paid out over $600,000
to Affiliates and a lot of those
Affiliates are directly here on YouTube
so that can certainly work to make a lot
of money and personally make over
$110,000 a month with affiliate
marketing on my channels Now secret
number nine is to jump into your YouTube
analytics and look at a couple key
statistics so once you get about 30
videos uploaded on your YouTube channel
it's vitally important that you look
into what's working what's not and then
improve on the next batch of videos so
the way you do that is jump into your
channel just like I'm here right now and
then go on over to your analytics and
specifically what you want to go to is
the content tab right here and you want
to see what your channel average
clickthrough rate is this is what
percent of people click to watch your
video as opposed to all the other videos
out there that they come across and you
want to make note of your Channel's
average clickthrough rate mine right
here is 5.7% then on every new video
that you upload if you go to your
content tab right here and then go down
to looking at an individual video for
example this one and then click the
analytics button under that video then
what you want to see is what percent of
people click to watch your video for
example this one is 88.4% so this tells
us that this thumbnail is a higher than
average clickthrough rate for our
channel so we're going to keep it but if
you upload videos that have lower than
your Channel's average percent then what
you want to do is design a new thumbnail
modeling what's already working on
YouTube and then throwing that thumbnail
on that video that you already have
uploaded and sometimes you can help
explode videos doing that and next up if
you go back to your content tab right
here and scroll down you can see key
moments for audience retention so take
notes of what's keeping people's
attention what's making retention go up
and down and if you go to your audience
tab right here you can see when your
viewers are on YouTube so you know when
to post videos so for me that'd be about
10:00 a.m. in the time zone that I'm in
you can see what other videos that your
audience is watching to give you more
video ideas and those are the key
statistics to look at and now secret
number 10 is to follow this action
checklist I'm going to give you pick a
niche that's been proven to work on
YouTube post at least 30 videos to your
channel and stay consistent with an
upload schedule you can even schedule
uploads directly within your YouTube
studio if you want research and analyze
the data from those 30 videos to map out
your next 30 videos come up with some
alternative monetization methods and
make sure you're within a niche that can
do that the best best ones are typically
health wealth happiness relationships
travel and Technology upload
consistently don't look back a lot of
people step into YouTube expecting
hundreds of thousands of dollars their
first month don't be one of those people
instead be someone who actually takes
action with this and follows through
with it to its logical conclusion
posting 60 to 100 videos so you can
potentially have a huge Channel down the
line and once you start posting videos
do not let that momentum give up keep
posting and reward yourself for every
little Milestone even your first 10 100
subscribers make sure to celebrate that
so you stay motivated with this it's
vitally important that you do that now

YouTube channel and if you want to
