[00:01] smartest and most profitable way to make money on YouTube.  And let's clear up one important point right away.  There is no such thing as quick and models that allow you to earn money faster and easier than most
[00:14] other options.  When I say smart way to make money, I mean a model minimal effort, rather than toiling for years without results.  I know what I'm talking about because I've been through this myself: I sold advertising on YouTube and
[00:27] collaborated with top companies like Yandex and so on.  I even had faceless channels, foreign YouTube.  And having tried all the ways to earn money, I clearly understood one thing.  Not all models are created equal.
[00:39] Working hard, unfortunately, does not equal earning a lot.  And there are models where people work hard for years and stand still.  And there are models where you work smarter and earn many times more.  This is the reality.  This is exactly what I want to
[00:52] hyped model, but one that wins in terms of money, time get to know each other a little.  My name is Saule and just 3 years ago I was working for hire. And, like many, I dreamed of financial freedom and a life without being tied to one
[01:08] place.  At the moment I am at the ball.  And look, for just the last stream of my product we made about 50,000 [music] dollars, and for the previous ones about 60,000 dollars. More than 350 people have already gone through my programs, achieving
[01:21] real results from their first sales to a stable income.  And that's why .  I'm not tied to any particular model and I'm not selling [music] to you as the only way.  I know from personal experience where people waste
[01:33] time, money and energy, and where they get the biggest return.  In this video, I'll tell you about all the ways to make money on YouTube based on my real-life experience. Let's look at each option, its pros, cons, and most important points.  Pitfalls that are
[01:45] usually kept silent about.  And in the end, I'll reveal the smartest and most profitable model and give you specific steps to help you make your first money on YouTube.  So, the first way to make money on YouTube is something that 99% of
[01:58] now I will debunk all the myths that prevent you from actually making money.  In general, when people say: "I want to make money on YouTube," they almost always that YouTube inserts into its videos. Everything works [music] super simple.  You
[02:12] make content, people watch it, YouTube shows these ads and shares the money with you.  The platform keeps 45% for itself and gives you 55%.  [music] And here the main illusion appears. People, after watching these videos
[02:25] where gurus show screenshots of income from the YouTube affiliate program, show screenshots of millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, others see this and think: "That means I can do it." But no one shows the whole picture:
[02:37] what countries the views come from, how many years and how much money they invest in production.  Let's figure it out.  In this money do you get for 1,000 views?
[02:50] And here is the most important thing.  If your content is in Russian, you'll be no one gets paid for views, or in other CIS countries, like Kazakhstan and elsewhere, where the average RPM is around 50 cents, or less than a dollar.
[03:04] Yes, let me show you with my example. Here.  And my creative studio is YouTube. Look, my channel gets about 100,000-200,000 views per month, and I earn an average of $300-$ 500, and my RPM is about $2.  In the CIS
[03:17] market, this is considered super good because the niche is one of the most profitable - online earnings.  Yes, and even under these conditions, 200,000 subscribers, a profitable niche, earnings and business, expert content from the YouTube affiliate program
[03:30] only brings me $400 a month on average.  Now let's calculate how many views you need to earn at least $1,000 per month on Russian-language content, where the average RPM, as I already said, is 50
[03:42] cents.  Let's count.  And this comes to 2 million views per month.  Can you imagine, you need to get 2 million views every month .  From my own experience, I can say that these are simply numbers that are beyond the capabilities of beginners.  You might think, "Okay, 2 million
[03:57] views a month is too much." And here, many people probably have a logical question: why shouldn’t I then create content for an American audience, where the RPM is much higher?  Sounds reasonable, but let's look at
[04:09] the numbers, shall we?  Look, on the screen you can see how many views it takes to make $1,000 a month if you're hitting in the US and have an RPM like typical niche forks.  Look, if you're in the finance and business niche, where the average
[04:23] RPM is $15 in the US, yes, you only need to get 67,000 views. marketing, education, and so on.  Here you can see the numbers on the screen .  Total 67,000 views. It doesn't sound like much, but there are two
[04:36] talks about.  The first point: finance, marketing, education, technology, all these expert niches in the USA, they are very, very competitive. Top creators with decades of experience have been working there for a long time.  In the financial niches, these are usually
[04:51] former investment bankers, people there almost from Ulster Street, and fund managers.  And so these real people turn out to be people with a name, reputation and history.  And so, it turns out, you are competing with them as a newcomer from scratch.  Especially if you're
[05:05] thinking of entering with a faceless channel in a faceless format, you simply won't survive, because a faceless format will always lose to an expert with a face that you trust.  Competing with them for attention and consistently reaching tens of
[05:19] thousands of views is almost impossible in practice .  And so, when newbies think: "Now I'll go into finance because it has a high RPM and I'll make money," this is an illusion that, unfortunately, is being actively sold to you now.
[05:31] Let's summarize.  A newbie without experience, without real expertise, without a reputation in the American market, simply won’t survive in these expert niches.  There is also such a popular illusion.  Many people think: "Okay, finance is complicated,
[05:44] there are already established creators there. I 'll enter the health niche, the healseh niche, right? Uh, I'll create a faceless format there and the content will fly. My answer won't fly, because it is in the health niche in the US that huge monsters,
[05:58] media companies, are already playing. There is Andrew Huberman, yes, a scientist from Stanford, who releases profound scientifically verified expert content there twice a week, or there is Brian Johnson, yes, who has simply dedicated
[06:11] his life to this niche. And here a very interesting question arises. How should a faceless channel without expertise, without a face and without trust compete with such players? The answer is: no way. You are not just competing for views, you are competing for
[06:26] trust. And trust in these niches is the main asset. Therefore, the idea is to now fly into the health niche, because high RPM there is the same illusion, and what with finances. Therefore, high  RPM is n't an equal entry point at all.
[06:41] Unfortunately, this is where newcomers most often lose time, money, and motivation. I do n't even understand why they can't do it. That's the first point. And the second point is a very common mistake and one of the most dangerous misconceptions among newcomers. Many
[06:54] think, "Okay, I'll make content in English and automatically reach an American audience." And that's simply not true. In practice, often when English, they automatically end up in India, because they
[07:08] speak English there. And in India, RPM is sometimes even lower than in Kazakhstan. You see the difference, right? So, English isn't the same as the US audience. The American audience, you know, is very mature, very
[07:21] spoiled, very demanding. They have their own rhythm, and they have their own humor, their own kind of content, their own cultural code. And this code, in most Americans themselves. This is the American way of thinking: the context, the presentation, the examples,
[07:38] Values. And yet, within this audience, they differ. That's why I constantly see the same picture. Newcomers come in English, shoot, try hard, invest, and almost never reach the US audience, because the US market,
[07:52] complex, mature, and competitive. The only case I really see where guys from the CIS actually make money on foreign YouTube is not expert content, because, as we've
[08:04] already figured out, you certainly won't win against well-known experts, especially on a faceless channel. And in general, getting millions of views on expert content is very, very difficult. Even Andrew Huberman, yes, well,
[08:19] views there. Well, because entertainment content is watched much more, expert content, of course, much less. This is logical. Therefore, here, as entertainment content remains. This is children's content, braided content, gameplay,
[08:33] simple animations, anything that doesn't require a face.  and expertise. And here, too, of course income. Let's take a closer look. In entertainment content, RPM is around $1 at best. More often, it's even lower. It turns out that to earn
[08:47] $1,000 a month, you need a million views a month. 1 million every month, and consistently. And to get those views, you still need to create high-quality animations, or be very knowledgeable about the game, or
[09:00] constantly follow trends, or have a team, speed, and scale. So, it's no longer an easy entry point; it's a full-fledged media business. So, yes, you can make money on foreign YouTube with entertainment content, but the price
[09:14] is huge view volumes, high dependence on algorithms, and a very narrow margin for error. And this is definitely not a universal model and definitely not the best start for beginners who want predictable income. Okay,
[09:27] . Esens, as we can see, is not the best entry point, especially for beginners, if your goal is to actually make money, and not just...  Yes, running a channel. Let's move on to the second popular way to make money on YouTube: advertising. I'll
[09:40] is integrated advertising, where a brand pays you a fixed amount for a mention in a video, say, 1-2 minutes. You talk about the second option is affiliate programs, where you promote someone else's
[09:55] product or service and receive a percentage of each sale. Advertising used to be one of my main sources of income, because I actively worked with brands like Yandex.Protein, Skill Factory, and
[10:08] others. So now I'll tell you from my experience how much advertising costs, how it's calculated, and what pitfalls there are when working with advertisers. Let's look at one of the most important questions I'm always asked: how to
[10:22] these numbers come from. It's actually very simple. Advertisers calculate using the same logic as YouTube, based on your RPM. RPM, as we know, is determined by your niche and the advertiser pays you about the same money as YouTube pays for
[10:39] views, but a little more, because with AdSense, YouTube takes its cut, and with direct advertising integration , the advertiser works with you directly, without an intermediary. For example, if your RPM, and with monetization, is
[10:53] $2 per 1,000 views, then a brand with advertising integration can pay 3 dashes of $3.50 per 1,000 views. So, yes, advertising is more profitable than Eense, but the principle remains the same. You still earn money from
[11:06] views. Now let's look at the revenue. Here on the screen, you can see how much advertisers pay on average per 1,000 views in different niches and geographies, and how many views it takes to earn $1,000 with one
[11:18] integration. Look, for example, in the finance niche, again, you only need $40,000  views for a brand to pay you $1,000. In the CIS, where there's a Russian-speaking audience, you need much more, of course, like 200,000
[11:32] views in expert niches, yes, to earn $1,000 with a five-dollar ARPA. As you can see, yes, advertising is more profitable than MDS ENS, but it's still completely tied to views and requires large reach.
[11:45] Now let's talk about affiliate programs. Affiliation is when a company pays you a percentage of every sale your YouTube channel generates. Let's calculate the money, yes, how many sales are needed to earn
[11:57] $1,000 from affiliate marketing. Let's take a typical product, an online course or service, no matter product, an online course or service, no matter what market. And let's say the product costs $100, your commission is 30%, this is the market, uh, average figure I took.
[12:11] The income from one sale is $30. In this case, to earn  $1,000, and with an affiliate program, you need to make 34 sales. Now the key question: how many views do you need to make
[12:24] these 34 sales and earn this money from affiliate marketing? To make 34 sales from YouTube through affiliate marketing, with these average conversion rates, it turns out you need about 1,700 clicks on the landing page. And to get 1,700 clicks at a 1%
[12:40] click-through rate, you need to get about 170,000 views. So, to earn $1,000 from affiliate marketing, you need about 170,000 views per month. And if conversions are slightly worse, which is often the case with beginners,
[12:54] then Therefore, affiliate marketing is still a game of traffic volume, just with an extra step in
[13:07] the middle. That's why you are now on  You don't see any ads on my channel at all integrations, because I used to sell ad integrations, did affiliates there for different companies, and brands, you know, would come back again and
[13:22] again because they [music] were selling from my channel. And at some point I thought: "Okay, if a company makes money from my audience and pays me, say, $2,000, then how much do they make from my
[13:34] audience and, accordingly, how much can I make from this same audience myself if I sell my product?" Yeah, let's, huh, let's look at this situation, if I had my own product with the same numbers. That is, the
[13:49] original example. If this is an affiliate, then I would have earned $1.20, yes, about $1,000 from 304 sales. And now it's the same traffic, yes, but my product. If that were the case, we would n't change anything. The same 34  Sales, the
[14:04] only one thing changes - our product. Revenue at 100% marginality is already 34 sales. Now we get $100 each , since it's our product. That's $3,400 we
[14:20] earn from this. So here's a comparison, look at the screen, yes, we earn almost 3 times more money from this with the same traffic without increasing views. Simply because now we're
[14:32] selling our own product, and not receiving a percentage of someone else's sales. And here's the key idea. When you advertise an affiliate, yes, or there are advertising integrations, you end up bringing in traffic, warming up the audience, creating
[14:45] trust, and the main money, it turns out, is not you, but the company whose product you're selling takes it. Yes, and this, of course, is the main reason why I don't like advertising other people's products, but I listed a number of other reasons. The first is seasonality.
[15:00] You have no control at all,  When will you have advertising offers? I've had it happen: today there are a lot of offers, tomorrow there are none at all. Yes, and offers, tomorrow there are none at all. Yes, and if you don't control the offer, you
[15:13] no longer a business, but some kind of waiting game, right? Secondly, there's a risk to the audience's trust. Because you're not advertising your product, and you company, what product, what service,
[15:28] yes, support, promises. Every time you have to double-check, do all this due diligence. And then you have to check if they're on camera, if they're not setting you up, if they're going to screw you, your audience, if you're going to lose your credibility, trust, yes, your people.
[15:42] And this constant checking takes up a lot of time and energy developing your business. And thirdly, content. This always infuriated me, because
[15:55] some companies tried to control the narrative; they sent edits to the scripts, asked me to use certain formulaic wording , remove it.  Some awkward words. And it felt inauthentic and dishonest to me. Sometimes I
[16:10] really felt uncomfortable promoting other people's products and pretending it was fact. And when your income depends on brands, you stop being a free creator, a free entrepreneur, and simply turn
[16:24] into an advertising platform where various brands come, and you're just an advertising tool. And that's when the question arose: is it possible to build a model where I can control the content, the product, the
[16:38] marketing, and the narratives—everything myself? And that's exactly how I approached this very latest and most powerful model for making money on YouTube, which I'm going to tell you about now. It's selling your own products, of course. I'll
[16:51] tell you right away that there are two types of products. Physical and digital. And here, of course, I want to be honest with you. Why don't I advise you to start with physical products, especially for beginners? Physical products always
[17:04] sound attractive, because I don't know, who doesn't want to create their own T-shirt there? Because we see physical products everywhere, we think we should start with physical products. But in practice, this model is the
[17:19] hardest for a beginner. And here's why. First, there's logistics and delivery, production, warehousing, packaging, shipping, returns, lost packages. Especially turns into a separate business within a business. Second, there are high
[17:32] costs. You immediately have the cost of the product, logistics, taxes, commissions from payment systems and marketplaces. The margin is eaten up very like profit on paper turns into pennies in practice . Third, there are cash flow gaps and
[17:45] risks. You need to invest upfront, produce the product, purchase a batch, and you only get the money later, if you sell it at all. And for a beginner, this is huge stress and risk, as you can see, right? Fourth, scalability. To
[17:57] grow, you need more product, more people, more processes. And  So, it turns out you're focusing not on marketing, but on operations. And fifth, the focus is in the wrong place. Instead of working with content, strengthening
[18:09] audience trust, and building a brand, you start solving warehouse, logistics, and contractor problems. For a start, this is a very poor tradeoff. Now let's move on to digital products. And this is where the real interesting game begins. This is the
[18:22] business model that has earned me over $300,000 over the past three years. Let's figure it out. A digital product is, essentially, a way to package knowledge so that it solves a specific problem for a person. Most often, these are courses, services,
[18:34] consultations, communities, and other programs. Essentially, it's selling knowledge online. And that's why I love this business model so much. Digital products don't require delivery and don't have a unit cost, like in merchandise, for example.
[18:47] Therefore, they offer 80% margins. Where has anyone ever seen such a thing? They scale without limits and sell 24/7, even while you sleep. Once  You've created a product and can sell it to thousands of people without increasing your costs. I want to
[19:02] show you all this using my personal example now. Look, my YouTube channel is currently getting about 170,000 views per month. And let's look at how much money each income model brings me . If we take the
[19:15] YouTube partner program, that is, Ads, then from these views I earn about 300-500 dollars per month. Yes, as I already said, if I did advertising, sold, say, two integrations per
[19:27] month for $1,000, then my income, accordingly, would be $2,000 per programs with such views, I would earn, roughly speaking, $1,000. And now let's look at the fourth model, selling my
[19:41] digital products. With the same 170,000 views per month, I earn $10,000-$15,000 every month from selling my own product without increasing traffic, without advertising other people's products and without dependence on brands.
[19:56] And if you compare this with other models, this difference is almost 10 times. That's because when you sell your digital product, you get 100% marginality. You control the price, you control the funnel, you control
[20:09] the content and, accordingly, you control your income. And that's why I believe that selling digital products is the smartest, most profitable, and most manageable model for making money on this platform. Especially if you don't want to
[20:23] endlessly chase views and depend on other people's decisions. So, let's why this is one of the best, uh, one of the strongest business models today. And now I want to tell you
[20:35] exactly what, as I promised, exactly what you need to start making money on this model step by step. But before that, let's immediately figure out what you definitely don't need. Because most people have the most fears at this
[20:48] point. And the first thing you don't need is to be an expert in  in the classic old sense of the word. Today, artificial intelligence solves mathematical and logical problems better than 99% of the population. It
[21:01] structures information, and builds systems faster than any team of experts can. Yes, and here it is very important to understand one simple thing. The hardest thing in creating a product is not knowledge. The hardest thing is structure
[21:16] and logic, yes, the ability to transform this chaos of ideas into a solution understandable to a person. It is in this that AI is already objectively stronger and more powerful than any expert. Therefore, today you don’t need to be an old-school expert, yes, with
[21:30] years of training and diplomas. All you need is to simply understand how to use AI as a tool that enhances you, helps package your experience, and removes the main barrier to entry. Fear, I don’t know
[21:42] is to show yourself and your face. YouTube has long ceased to be a platform for bloggers, for personal blogs. Now faceless formats work great , yes, where people come not for the person in the frame, but for  benefit and
[21:56] solve their problems there. There are already specific tools for this: 11 Labs for a live voice, YDN for a digital avatar, plus presentations, a screen, AI, video, animation, text with voiceover. So, the lack of desire to be on camera
[22:10] is not a limitation, but simply a question of the format now. Yes, that's why at AI module so that students can build the entire process from content to product, without filming, without stress and without constant personal involvement, if they feel more
[22:25] comfortable that way. You also don't need a large audience. On YouTube, views and subscriber numbers. The first applications and sales can come even from channels with 100-300 subscribers with the right strategy and funnel. We have a case study of
[22:38] a student, Anatoly. He had a brand new channel. He got about 1,000 views on the new channel with three videos and earned $500 in income from these three videos per 1,000 views, because he immediately  Implemented the right
[22:51] monetization model and the right funnel. You also don't need large investments. You don't need expensive equipment or a studio; a phone and a lavalier microphone for $10 are enough . So, you start with minimal costs and test the model
[23:03] without financial pressure, unlike product-based platforms or marketplaces. You also don't need to quit your job. Most of our students start alongside their full-time jobs and gradually reach a scalable
[23:16] income. And you don't need to work 8-10 hours a day. You don't need to live on systematic approach allows you to work calmly. One or two well-made videos a week can produce results and generate income for months. Now let's
[23:30] need to start making money from digital products. And the first thing it all starts with is long videos on YouTube. YouTube isn't just another social network. It's the second-largest search engine in the world after Google. It has
[23:43] over 2.7 billion monthly active users . Just think about it.  That's the number, right? Let's do a very simple calculation. If just 0.1% of people on YouTube ever stumble across your content by chance, that's 2.7 million
[23:57] potential customers. . More than Netflix, more than TV, more than any other platform. And over the past couple of years, YouTube has paid out over
[24:11] $70 billion to creators. So, we're not talking about some frivolous topic, or a side hustle, we're talking about the largest media platform in continues to grow faster than ever. For context. When I
[24:26] YouTube,  , and even while we were in the US, many perceived it as a hobby, as something so money.  But now it's the twenty- sixth year, and in the twenty-fifth year alone I earned more than $100,000 thanks to YouTube traffic to
[24:41] my business.  And YouTube is especially powerful for experts precisely because of its format. I don’t understand why people, experts, yes, if you have expertise, you, uh, make Instagram your main platform.   There are so many touches needed there.  On
[24:54] Instagram, to get someone ready to buy, you need a huge number of touches: stories, reels, personal branding, constant flickering.  Often people watch an expert for a year or more before buying something.  On YouTube, everything is different.
[25:07] Thanks to the long format, one video can replace dozens of [music] touches. students and clients: "How long did you watch me before you bought, yes, some product?"  And on average, their answers are something like about 3 months.  Not a year, not
[25:21] endless warming up, yes, but just a few months of watching long videos.  Sometimes even after one video people buy, after one video purchases ripen happen anyway?  Because in 10-15 minutes of video, a person really
[25:34] begins to understand you, how you think, how you explain yourself, what your values ​​are, whether they can trust you, right?  It's simply impossible to do this in one minute, but it's quite possible to do it in 13 minutes on YouTube.  And that's why people are willing to pay
[25:46] high prices on YouTube.  The level of trust is higher here.  The person spends more time with you decisions consciously.  For example, one of our students, after training, created our students, after training, created his own course and launched it for 2 million rubles.
[26:00] on a channel that had only 10,000 subscribers.  It's not a million-strong audience, but well-structured content and trust, which is what this focus not on quick videos for reach, but on long-form content that works
[26:16] as an asset, warms up your audience, and leads to digital product sales. make money from digital products is to choose a profitable niche.  And here it is important to say right away that there are niches in which people simply pay more.  There are niches where there is
[26:31] simply more money.  As a rule, these are educational and expert niches, not entertainment ones.  Entertainment channels can have an audience of millions and still earn less than an expert channel with 50,000 subscribers.
[26:43] Let's calculate using a simple and clear example.  Let's take an entertainment YouTube channel in the CIS that gets about 100,000 views per month.  On average, such a channel earns from $300 to $1,500 per month.  And again,
[26:56] I used to sell advertising on the channel myself, and, as you know, I know these figures firsthand.  In general, why so little?  50 dash $150 is the YouTube Partner Program.  Because
[27:09] , again, RPM in the entertainment niches in the CIS is low.  And another 200 dashes 1,000 dollars are advertising integrations, if there are any at all.  Typically this is one integration per month or several small ones. And yet the income is always unstable.
[27:22] Depends on brands, season, algorithms and luck.  Let's now take an expert 100,000 views per month, but which sells a digital product for $500, which is considered the average bill in the Russian-speaking segment.  Yes, even
[27:36] with a very modest conversion of 0 a 0.5 dash 01%.  That is, only 5-10 people out of 10,000 viewers buy, this gives you 50 dash 100 sales per month, which means
[27:49] 25-50,000 dollars in turnover.  And if we take a slightly higher conversion, but still realistic for a warm, well, expert audience, there 0.2 - 0.3%, that’s already 100 - 3 sales, that is 50 - 150,000 dollars per month, right?  And here is the
[28:05] key difference.  With the same amount of traffic, the same 100,000 views, the entertainment channel earns hundreds of dollars, and the expert channel tens of thousands. Why?  Because an entertainment channel monetizes attention, while an expert
[28:18] channel monetizes trust, pain, and a specific result.  This is why choosing a profitable niche is a vital step.  There is no need to go where there are real problems and where the market is willing to pay for their solution.  These are the
[28:31] niches we focus on at YouTube Academy. Not just interesting topics, yes, but niches that offer real money and clear monetization.  The third thing you really products is to generate stable, high-quality traffic.  Not random, but precisely
[28:45] predictable views from the right audience.  And here is a very important point: on YouTube, this approach doesn’t work: like, I’ll film what interests me.  Yes, YouTube is not a personal diary, unfortunately.  This is a platform where
[28:58] those who analyze the market, understand demand, and create content tailored to the shoot a video, we always start by analyzing what people are actually searching for, what watch, and what they're willing to pay for.  After all, the correct choice of topic
[29:13] influences 80% of the video’s success.  Next comes the packaging of the video.  The YouTube cover title is not just decoration, it is a key factor that influences CR, that is, whether people will click on your videos or not.  You can
[29:28] make a great video, but it won't get any views simply because the packaging didn't work.  The next layer is the script.   It's not just what to say, but how to hold attention and attract a solvent audience.  Expert
[29:40] videos without a script almost always lose viewers within the first few minutes.  But incorrect logic does not lead to money, even if there are views.  And here I am not speaking theoretically, I am an expert in this very thing. My expert videos regularly get
[29:53] 100,000-200,000 and even millions of views. And these are huge numbers specifically for expert content, not for entertainment videos.  And all this knowledge— how to analyze topics, how to create packaging, how to write retention
[30:06] and sales scripts—I fully implemented into the YouTube Academy.  And thanks to this, our students achieve stable viewing figures.  Here you can see real .  This is not a one-time takeoff, but the result of a system that works.   This is how
[30:20] traffic is built, which then turns into applications and sales of digital products.  And the next, fourth step is monetization and the funnel. views for the sake of views is just an empty story, it's a waste of your
[30:33] time.  They may certainly boost your ego, but not your bank account.  Therefore, solvent audience, your next key task is to learn how to monetize it.  I know this is very good from my own experience, because at this
[30:47] number of mistakes.  There was a period when my channel was getting three, even five times more views than it does now, but I was earning 10, exactly 10 this happened.  Because I used to sincerely believe in the myth.  The more
[31:03] n't even understand that views actually come in different forms.  10,000 views on the right topic, with the right sales script, and a funnel can bring in many times more money than a video that got a million views, and yes,
[31:17] that brought in the wrong audience.  Second mistake.  I didn't know how to create content that actually sold.  I made useful videos, smart videos, interesting ones, but I didn't understand how to integrate the logic and sales structure into them.  This is a completely
[31:31] separate science, which is not obvious at the start.  And the third, most critical mistake I made was a leaky funnel.  There was no normal work with the database, there was no additional heating system, there was no sales department. It turns out that people looked, were
[31:44] interested, and simply left because no one pushed them to buy.  Over time, I went through this whole journey.  I tested different funnels, learned how to work with the database, and built processes. Today I have more than ten people working in my team
[31:56] .  We have our own sales department, not outsourced, with clear scripts, yes, with a clear system.  We increased conversions, made sales predictable, and during the previous flow, as I already said, as a result, we made $50,000 there
[32:10] constantly working on the product, improving it, increasing its value, again, without a strong product, no funnel will save you.  Guys, we've covered the whole path from why digital products through YouTube are
[32:25] one of the most powerful models today to specific steps.  Niche, traffic, content, monetization and funnel.  And here it is very important to understand one thing.  This system does not work in parts.  You can't just shoot a couple of videos and wait for money.  You can't choose a
[32:39] can’t have views but not understand how to turn them into sales.  I know this because I have gone through this whole process myself, through mistakes, loss of time and money.  At some point, I stopped acting chaotically and collected the entire system in one
[32:54] place.  That's how YouTube Academy came to be—a step-by-step system that will take you from choosing a profitable niche to stable views and then to selling your products and services on YouTube, with support from producers, ready-made
[33:06] works.  And most importantly, you don't have to figure it all out alone.  You are following a route that hundreds of my students, and I myself, have already taken.  If you've found yourself thinking, "This makes sense or sounds like something
[33:20] was created just for you.  Contact our managers, and they'll diagnose your point A, analyze your current situation, help you build a roadmap, and honestly tell you whether our program is right for you and whether it makes
[33:34] sense to join.  Follow the first link in the description to get involved in the analysis. If you watched this video to the end, then you are definitely not one of those who are looking for quick and easy money.  And this is already a big advantage.  YouTube is
[33:46] still one of the most powerful platforms in the world, but right now the winners are n't those who film more, but those who understand why they do it.  I also once started without a system, made mistakes, wasted time, and only
[34:00] later realized that YouTube is not a goal, but a tool.  And if you're willing to treat it as a tool, then you have every chance of building a stable income here.  Guys, that's all for now .  Thank you very much for
[34:13] watching to the end, and we'll see you in the next video.
