[00:02] My name is Valentin.  I've been on YouTube for seven years now.  And if you saw my first videos, you would think I didn't have a chance.  There was no magic in my journey to YouTube , no perfect start, and no indication that
[00:15] to nowhere.  Extremely strange topics, zero views.  And it feels like YouTube is some kind of game, with rules that everyone knows except me.  And the most interesting thing is that I understood the topics that I will talk about today not
[00:28] after 10, not after 100, or even after 1,000 videos.  I realized this after years of mistakes, lessons and changes.  And today I want to share the main conclusions somewhere through a huge amount of time spent, somewhere through
[00:41] experiments.  And this is something I can now share openly.  If you're currently building your YouTube channel or just looking in that direction, this video is the So I wish you a pleasant viewing. First insight: YouTube takes a lot
[00:54] more time than it seems.  YouTube truly loves those who are patient, those who play the long game, and those who come in with the understanding that they are here for many years to come. We all actually understand that we do this with patience, that when we create
[01:07] results, but still, intuitively, we want them to happen as quickly as possible and we involuntarily build up some internal expectations.  I thought so too.  I posted videos, got inconsistent results, and had no
[01:20] one video off the ground, and I would start to expect that I would have happen in the feed.  And for a long time I couldn’t understand what it was, why one video would fly in, and then several videos after it would get practically
[01:34] swinging me on an emotional roller coaster and generally didn’t wish me any good.  But the algorithm just needs time to figure out who you're making content for huge number of authors begin to break down, simply not seeing
[01:50] results at first.  And this is normal, because this is healthy competition, not everyone experiences it.  But if we are ready for this right away and don’t expect any quick results, then it will be much easier for us in this difficult game
[02:03] point our plans begin to coincide with expectations, and then the most interesting part begins.  But we need to live to see that moment come.  The insider information is as follows.  A mistake you understand is much more valuable than a success you cannot repeat.  And this is
[02:17] actually on the same path.  I spent a long time making videos, and I don’t understand why one video flies and another doesn’t.  Why are there more views here, but simply doesn’t want to promote physical content .  And the whole point is that if
[02:30] we understand the reason why this video is promoted and that one is not, we can influence and make sure that as many of our videos as possible are promoted.  And at publication of each video with the question: “ What am I testing? What am I focusing on in
[02:43] this video? What do I want to convey with the cover? And why should it rank well overall? Do I give my videos what viewers come to me for? And if I do, am I fulfilling their whims 100% and satisfying them? Because if
[02:56] our video didn’t rank well, but after a while we understand why this happened, and what all future content ranks well, then this is already a success. And this is definitely reflected in next insight, which I understood far from immediately, is that at first, the
[03:11] first videos and the first month, you can’t live on analytics. Well, absolutely not. I really don’t recommend looking at the CR retention of strange viewers until we have at least stable impressions on each video, until we are not watched consistently,
[03:25] because at the start we have a large margin of error. YouTube simply doesn’t know what audience we are creating our content for. It needs several videos, perhaps several  dozens of videos to understand who we're ranking for and
[03:37] who we're creating content for, who the viewer is, how old they are, what countries they're from, what content they watch, what their interests are, how old they are, and so on. that YouTube can't figure out with a slap of their finger from the first video. That's
[03:49] why, when many people see that they don't have views on their first videos, wrong. Although YouTube isn't perfect, and it can't immediately understand who our audience is why there's a clear effect at work here. Those who [musicians] can't wait to reach
[04:03] promoting them simply can't withstand this struggle and give up. That's why the first 10-15 or even 20 videos on your channel aren't about results. It's more about collecting data that you give to YouTube, and based on which it will then give
[04:18] us millions of views. But you have to endure this, and these videos need to be  do it well. And the sooner we accept this, the sooner we commit ourselves to it, the less meaningless worries. Why do
[04:31] we work for the record, that is, for our channel, and then our channel works for us. The next insight: originality often hinders rather than helps. At some point in my journey, I thought: "Oh, I'll come up with a new niche or reinvent the
[04:45] wheel, it will be a hit, it will be a million-dollar industry." But in fact, my every time. After all, inventing some new format that hasn't even existed yet is not always the best idea. And often it's a
[04:58] waste of our time and super, if not money, if you don't spend money on your content. The thing is, YouTube is not a place where they compete to be the most creative. I would even say the opposite, YouTube is a
[05:10] place where people compete to see who can steal faster. And personally, I've tried to be unique a huge number of times, doing Content that no one else is making. And I was also getting unique views, namely zero, because it
[05:22] seemed that what I consider unique and reinventing the wheel, no one needed. And the audience simply isn't ready for it. They're not interested, even if my Let's take the example of A4,
[05:37] which took its foundation from the same Mixter Best or from a huge list of other . He made his first few million subscribers purely on ideas that had already worked. And now, of course , he has the opportunity to implement
[05:50] his new ideas, to realize some of his large-scale plans. Simply because he already has an audience that loves him, who came to him from content that has already worked and is ready to watch anything. And we can
[06:02] made progress. But at the start, the best we already working as a basis and add our own twist, which hasn't yet been developed.  There was, but don't invent from scratch something that doesn't exist yet and is unlikely to appear on YouTube. The next
[06:15] insight: not every video will fly. For a huge amount of time, I was confused by the fact that one video could get huge views, while others were okay or even weak. And I think that shouldn't be so. But in reality, on YouTube,
[06:28] There is no channel that has exactly the same number of views on videos. And every video doesn't have to be a winner. Not every content we Moreover, if we set ourselves these expectations, then we can quickly
[06:42] burn out emotionally and shift our focus from the most important thing - creating and improving content - to expecting something from it. And I advise you to get distracted by things that really don't matter. Work only on how to
[06:56] really influence the result of the next videos, find the best topic, package the best cover, come up with the best script, influence retention and do everything for  so that each new video is better than the previous one and has even
[07:08] more potential to reach the same million-viewer mark. The next insight is even more strictly from my own experience. I have a channel that brought in a total of $50,000 in revenue and earned a silver button at the age of 15. For me, a
[07:20] school student, it was simply mind-blowing. But its story is even more interesting, namely, how I monetized it. It was a news niche. randomly as possible. Sometimes about sports, sometimes about show business, sometimes about natural disasters, sometimes about
[07:34] the weather, sometimes about flora and fauna. Basically, I mixed everything up until YouTube itself pointed out to me that I needed to narrow it down to one specific channel. How did it highlight it? It gave me around 4,000 views on one of the videos. And what I did
[07:47] right was I made a sequel to that video. I simply found this news story and added more updates to it and  colors that appeared a couple of days after like the second episode of a series, which viewers loved and
[08:00] second episode has already reached 100,000 views, which allowed my monetization targets, and I could connect it and subsequently earn $10,000 on Coin in the first four months
[08:12] So, what's the bottom line? Don't think it'll be stable, that each video will gradually get 1,000,000,000,000 . Often, we'll have zero views, but then a video like Lokomotiv will appear, which will pull the whole channel along with
[08:25] it and show YouTube that, aha, this channel is interesting to make, we should really exactly what happens. By the way, I have a separate instruction, where I break down step by step how I pushed this channel to such a result. If anyone wants it, I'll
[08:38] leave it in  The tip and the first link in the description. Neural network niches, how it all material. I definitely recommend watching it, because it's 5 years of my life in 40 know what to watch after this video. The next insight follows
[08:53] from the previous one. The better we understand our audience, the easier it is for us mess around. Why is it important not to mess around? first channel, film everything and wait for something to fly in? Yes,
[09:05] we can, but it will take much more time, energy, nerves, money, and so on. It's better to niche down right away, choose a specific subniche of what we'll be we have football news, show business news, political news,
[09:18] huge number of subniches. Our beloved psychology also has niches: the psychology of finance, the psychology of money, the psychology of millionaires, and so on. In general, there are a huge number of sub-channels in each topic. And our task is to choose
[09:31] something specific, because the faster we choose this, the easier and faster YouTube will be able to understand who to promote us to, and thus we will achieved results, we can return to working topics, re-shoot them and
[09:44] multiply what we have already achieved. The penultimate and one of the most important insights. The worst thing we can do is move blindly. Honestly, was no information about open access. I simply collected it bit by
[09:57] some channels, from personal experience. And what I can focus on now, training, is what I have accumulated over the years to achieve this . And if you want to shorten your path from several years to a few
[10:10] months, then I invite you to my product. It is a full-fledged ecosystem consisting of a step-by-step action strategy, specific working  niches, a motivated community, and curators who keep you on track. This all

[10:36] next. The link to the form will be in the description next to the post. Completing it doesn't obligate you to anything, but it only gives you the opportunity to learn more about the product, place. The next insight: A steady pace is much more important than the
[10:50] heroic leaps we make in the hopes of quickly snatching results. After all, in my time, a huge number of YouTubers, experts, results have come and gone. But they all quickly fizzled out when their motivation ran out and they
[11:03] continue. And many people think that if competitors publish twice a week, day, they'd see results much faster . But that's not how it works. There's no result, people give up, and their channels are abandoned. So we do
[11:17] limit; we just need to be resilient, publishing content consistently. YouTube will notice sooner or later and will definitely give us our piece of the pie. YouTube is all about patience, and those who are willing to take it that way will
[11:30] and those who are willing to take it that way will definitely get what's theirs.
