Like many other results you're seeing on screen, the best part is that anyone can achieve this by following the step-by-step instructions I'm about to share, much capital. I'll also show you ways to minimize your time investment. Let's begin. Let's move on to the first step, which is how to open a YouTube account. To do this, all you have to do is go to your this, all you have to do is go to your browser and search for "create a YouTube account", okay? You can create a YouTube account or create a Google account. You have to click here where it says account, and once you click it, you have to click here where it says create an account. The first thing it tells you here is your name and surname. I always recommend that you use a name that is not related to you personally, not for any particular reason, but I always recommend using a name of the channel, for example. In this case I'm going to put video and the last name YouTube. I'm going to click next and here it puts the date of birth. It is important that you state that you are of legal age. I, for example, am going to put mine from August 2005. And here you put the genre and click next. Once this appears, you have to click on create a Gmail address and then click next. Here it tells you to put the name from the email address. For example, let's put the Eric 1 YouTube video. We click password. I'm going to make one up for this account. We click next and here it tells you to enter a recovery email. Here you can enter an do it quickly, I recommend you click skip. Once you've done that, you need to put your phone number here. So that? So that YouTube can see that there's a real person behind it. So I'm going to put it on. We press next. And here we're going to give it to him now, no. Once it tells us this, it means that we have created the account. We press next. We'll choose in one step. We press next again I've already left. I've already read it many times and there's no need to read it again, but we'll click accept. We click confirm, we click accept. And if you look closely, we would already have the Gmail account, that is, the YouTube channel created. Once we have this, we will move on to step number two, which is the theme. Let's start with: What is the theme? It's the niche. The niche is what can already be. The sports niche could be the nutrition niche, the finance niche, or the technology niche. An example of a sports niche would be called Kickfrix. It's a channel that specifically talks about football, and if you look at it, it has generated 1.5 million visits in the last month . This channel is generating between $5,000 and $10,000 per month. But the good thing about this is that he has n't uploaded any content for 4 months. And I'm sure you're wondering why it's important to have a theme, why it 's important to have a niche. Ultimately, you need to have a clear direction and know what type of content you'll be uploading to your channel. Because if you upload several types of videos from different niches to your channel, YouTube won't know algorithmically which people to recommend your videos to. If you focus on uploading videos, for example, about showed you, YouTube will detect that it needs to recommend your videos to people who like football. And if you don't follow that pattern, YouTube will go crazy. Many people say you should focus on a niche you like, but that's am currently earning more than €10,000 a month with niches that I know nothing about understand that you have to do what works within YouTube and not get attached to what you like. It's also important that you focus on a niche that has a good RPM. What is RPM? That's what YouTube pays you for every 1000 views. There are two types: CPM, which is what YouTube earns from ads, and RPM, which is what you keep. It is always measured per 1000 visits. The average RPM in the Spanish market is usually two or at most three, unless you know how to increase that RPM. For example, I currently have channels in the Spanish market that have an RPM of over 10, meaning that for every 1000 visits I'm generating €10. This channel you're seeing on screen is mine, and notice that with only 83,000 visits, that is, less than 100,000 visits, which isn't difficult, in the last 28 days I've generated €1651, and that's due to the RPM. If I go here to the income section, we see that if we scroll down I have 19.53 RPM. And as you can see, these are euros; it's not some coin I showed you to make it look like it has a much higher RPM. Currently, this channel is generating an average of €30 per day, and it actually costs me less than $150 per month to maintain it. list of profitable niches so you can actually see them, analyze them, generate income like the ones I just showed you on screen, write the word "profitable" to me on Instagram, which you'll find in the description below, and I'll send you the private list. But it's very important that you do it after watching this entire video, because you're going to need all the information you'll see in this video for it to really work. Ultimately, if I send you the niche, but you do n't have all the other information, you won't know what to do. Let's move on to step number two, which is video ideas. What is an idea? An idea is what your video will be about. There are many people who focus on thinking up ideas making one of their main leverage the experience of someone else who has been navigating this and already knows what works, and replicate it in another market. That is, to select an idea, a video that has worked, in this case, in a market different from ours and replicate it in a market where it has not been done. What I recommend to find potential ideas is that you go into incognito browsing mode and start searching for niche keywords. Videos will appear that you can analyze and then decide whether to replicate in another market or not. For channels is taking inspiration from English channels in the English market and replicating it in other markets such as the Spanish market, the French market, the Portuguese market, the Italian market, and so on. I always recommend this step of getting inspiration from English market channels, but only if those videos haven't already been made in the market where you're going to upload the video. the script. What principles should a good screenplay have? Ultimately, the script is what will keep that person engaged in the video. As I've said, the goal is for the viewer to stay in your video for as long as possible so that YouTube recognizes it as a good video and recommends it more and more. It's important that you focus on a good script and above all that you don't copy someone else's; make your own because otherwise you could face consequences. How to write a good script? Today there are people who artificial intelligence like GPT chat to create scripts, but I don't You can leverage it, you can leverage Chat GPT to make completely from scratch in a proper way. In the end, you have to give him references. I always prioritize the script in the hook, which is the first 30 seconds of the video. I try to keep as many people as possible watching the entire video. You have to keep in mind that those first 30 decide whether the viewer stays in the video or not. Then I also focus a lot on the development of the script, that is, I try to make it something depends on the duration. I can't write a script for a 10-minute video exactly the same way as I would for a 2-hour video. It is also important, and it is one of the things I focus on most, to include call to action within my own videos. A CTA is a call to action, which means a call to action. In the end, you can redirect that person who is watching your video, either to subscribe or to sell, for example, an external product. You can include a call look at the link in your description, and then sell them the product. Let's now move on to step number four, which is the title and the thumbnails. And why is that really important? In the end, you have to keep good script, you can have a very good voiceover, you can have very good editing, but if they don't fit into the video, it won't do any good. So, the first thing the viewer sees of your own video is the title and the thumbnail. And you have to focus on grabbing that viewer's attention so they get involved in the video. I always focus on making a really good and then the title to convince that person to watch the video. How to make a good thumbnail. Look, I showed you this channel earlier, which is the Kickflix channel, and I have to tell you that nowadays with Chat GPT you can make thumbnails that are really high any thumbnail and show you the process of how I do it with Chat GPT so you can do it too. I'm going to select, for example, this thumbnail here of Cristiano Ronaldo, which has worked very well, it has 8.1 million views, and then I'm going to take this image here of Leo Messi. Okay, what I'm going to do now is go to the GPT chat and post the two thumbnails. I'm going to tell him to change my face to the other person's on the first thumbnail. So now all we have to add is, I want you to make me a thumbnail for YouTube changing the first face for the second, that is, first face for the second, that is, showing Messi holding the ball. Let's press enter and see what I generate. Look, I've already made the miniature and look what it just did. Obviously we would have to modify things like, for example, putting Leo Messi on the left and the ball on the right, changing the color of this 4,000-unit thing or putting it somewhere else. But notice that it generated this for me in literally 30 seconds. It's incredible that you can generate these thumbnails in 30 seconds, and the best part is that Chat GPT is free. Obviously, I recommend the Plus Plan, which is only $ per month and you really have unlimited thumbnails to generate. But if you don't want to or can't pay for it right now, don't worry because you can do it completely free of charge. For the title, above eye-catching, but don't make false promises. In other words, if you say that there will be something in the video, then that thing should be discussed in the video . Because? Because otherwise, YouTube will eventually detect that the person, automatically leaves because they don't end up seeing what they see in the title. So, focus on making a catchy title, but one that truly delivers on the promise of the video. Let's move on to the next step, which is video editing. Many people think they need extensive editing or animations in their videos for them to really work well or to actually make money, but that's not really the case. In fact, with my automated channels, which are making me the most money , only one image or stock clips are played. Today there are hundreds, even thousands of channels that are generating many thousands of euros a month simply by using stock images or stock clips from sites such as Pixels. Or you can also generate photos like what I just did with Chat GPT and keep generating different images and playing them throughout the video. You literally have to break that belief that you need good editing to generate income. I repeat, today I am generating a lot of money with just stock images and videos. Here you have two options, one is to do it yourself with CapCut, or to hire an editor, which is what I You can post job offers on Apporz or job offers on Twitter. And in the end, why should you delegate the editing? Why is this the most important thing, and what I always something that will take up a lot of your time and it's a skill that isn't well paid in the market. So, you're going to spend hours and hours editing, when creating or selecting the best ideas, packaging, and so on. Let's move on to the the video. There are many people who don't know how to do it or are simply posting the video incorrectly. So I'm going to show you publish a video so you can see it and so you can actually do it on your own channels. Look, this is my personal channel, which is the channel you are watching right now. And to publish a video you have to very important in the YouTube studio. And up here on the right where it says create, you have to click upload video, okay? Here you're going to select files and you have to select the video that was either made by the editor or this one, which is a 38- minute video. I'm going to open it and the video will start uploading. Here I like to divide it into five steps that okay? One is the title, two, the description, three, the thumbnail, four, very important to click no here, and then five, the tags, okay? You can do this with the Bit IQ extension. To choose the title, here you will have to put the title that you what I recommend is that you put the first three paragraphs of the description to make the video. To upload your thumbnail, simply click on "upload file" and select the thumbnail file you've already ask yourself if it's a video created for children and you have to click no. It is not in the tags section, I recommend you use words that are publish. What those tags will do is position your video in a better way. Once you've done that, click next and here in the monetization section you'll only see if your channel is monetized. If you have it monetized, you have to enable monetization here, click done, and then click next. Okay, here you have to scroll all the way down, don't click on anything things like, for example, if the video contains violence, blood, etc. So we click on everything, that is, everything except "no," and then we click on "send grades," okay? and we click next. This also tells you whether you want to add end screens or cards. I always to redirect all that audience you 've captured from the video to another video of yours. cards in. Because? Because? Because you can make half of the video with this card go to another video of yours, and while you'll gain views for the other video, it will break the retention of the previous video. So, in conclusion, I recommend that you add end screens only after you have already uploaded a video. Let's press next, okay? This is where the copyright verification takes place . We'll press next again publishing the video, you can set it to private directly, hidden, public, always recommend scheduling it because sometimes even a day later . So, I always recommend scheduling it, and then if we want to schedule it, for example, for tomorrow at, say, 3 pm, we would click here to schedule it and we would already checking the video to make sure it doesn't have video scheduled for tomorrow. Let's now move on to the last step, but no less understand perfectly, I'm going to show you the metrics for this channel here, which has generated €3,250 for me in the last 28 days . If you look, it's a channel that costs around €150 per day, sometimes a little less and sometimes a little more. So, what do I recommend you focus on here? Especially here in the content section, the CTR you have, the percentage of clicks on impressions, because in the end, CTR is what measures the conversion of an impression to a view. It's very different in the prints than in the visualizations. An impression is that a person has been shown something within viewing is that they have not only been shown something, but have actually entered the video. So, the CTR is what the print output is compared to the display. I also recommend that you take a look at the retention you have of your video. Don't percentages. Because? Because it's not the same to have 5 minutes of retention in a 10-minute video as in a 30-minute video. So, starting from a 30 to 35% retention rate, it already means you're having very Honestly, I don't recommend focusing on other metrics, and something very metrics when you start the channel. Because? Because in the end there will be no metrics to analyze. These days, people come up to me and ask, "Hey And literally, when you're starting out you can't analyze anything. Because? because you don't have any content uploaded. So, you have to wait a few algorithm, start getting visits, and from then on you can start analyzing the metrics. If you follow these steps and are consistent, it's impossible for you not to start your channel successfully. And I'm not just saying this for the sake of it, but because I've done it myself with several channels, and the students at my academy have too. In fact, if you're one of those people who would like to earn a good extra income and leave your job that you hate so much without investing too much time or money, I free session with my team to show you how I can help you, by working hand in hand with me, to build a source of income of €2,000 per month in 3 months thanks to Alex, who is currently generating more than €10,000 per month. So if you'd schedule a session in the pinned comment of this video.
