## Transcript

YouTube channels, and today I'm going to show you all the results I achieved. And besides that, I'll also show you some lessons to demonstrate that YouTube isn't about luck. This channel you're watching here is "Bora Pra Prática" (Let's Get to Practice), which is the one
you're watching right now. So, let's get to practice! I'm making this video because of a video I posted about 40 days ago, which I posted for 60 days. So, if you really like this type of content,
every 30, 40, 60, or 100 days I'll bring more videos here. But if the "Hype" button is showing up, click on "Hype" to hype this video! And if it's not showing up, just like and comment here, and you'll already be helping the
video I'm going to show you, which is the YouTube video I posted for 60 days. It was the video that got the most views in these 100 days. Let's get to practice! But let's go, this is the result of the last 28 days,
is the result of the last 28 days, right? Four weeks... four weeks of...  Regarding the seen that I haven't posted many videos. There was one video I posted on December 25th, but I made it private. Anyway, I posted 2, 4,
posting every day. I already made a video here on YouTube talking about this, about me, it's working very well. And another thing here is, I put it in dollars, okay? I don't put it in reais. I prefer to see dollars than reais, but 3,290, 300, I don't know,
multiply by six, it'll be around R$700, R$800. That's for the last 28 days. I'll But before showing you the last 100 days, I'm going to show you a strategy to show you that YouTube isn't about luck. I have this video here which is the
smartest way to earn R$ 1,000 per month on YouTube in two steps. This video was posted almost 50 days ago and...  We're having a very interesting result for the channel. I think it's really cool that a 44-minute video has
12,000 views. I think this result is very good, especially for delivering; it's the video that's getting the most views in the last 48 hours. But I want to show you that I modeled this video here, okay? I
modeled it and brought it to my niche. So I'm going to show you now the video here: "The smartest way to earn $0.00 per month in 2025." It's a guy here, a young man, this gentleman here, who has over 4 million
subscribers. I modeled the video from this channel here, and in his video, everything is scripted, very well produced, and it's a more general video, right? It's about YouTube. The advice he gives here, to tell you the truth, is for you to
create, consume, and create content on YouTube. Okay, then you watch it, you'll take a look there, but he doesn't put it in the title.  Even in the thumbnail it doesn't say he's going to talk about YouTube; he gives more general tips. So I saw this
YouTube homepage. So, exactly, I open my YouTube homepage before recording any some videos appear. This one that appeared, I thought, "Wow, what an idea!" idea to bring it to my niche. I was initially thinking of making a
more general video like this one, not necessarily talking about watching me here... let's get practical, it 's an audience that likes content about YouTube, that are creating YouTube channels, so I'm going to bring this same
type of video to my channel, right?" But I just... I modeled the idea, okay? I just took the title/idea from The smartest way to earn R$1,000 a month—he puts
about how to earn $1,000 too, and so I do a...  This is a little
results. Sometimes I post videos here that I don't model, you know, and normally these videos don't tend to give as much result. They do get results, but not as many as the videos I
model, okay? So it's as if it's harder to get results with a video you create from your head than a video that's already been posted three months ago and has almost 1 million views, okay? So
I'm using on this channel that you can also use. Something interesting is that this is a long video talking about making money. The RPM of this video was very high, right? It's 2.73 per 1000 views, okay? That's a
high RPM, especially considering the length of the video, so there are many ads. And besides that, it 's content about making money, so when we talk about making money, it tends to make
us more money, right? And another interesting thing is that the prática, when I talk...  Regarding YouTube videos, it's 1 D1 C A 1.30, but
when I make videos on other subjects, I 'll show you, it tends to make me earn more money. I earn more money, look, this video here is a Car, the revenue from this video was 2, and it's not a very long video, it's 13 minutes, and
so this RPM increased so much, almost doubled, because of this little word here, extra income. I made my first extra income in 2025, and you can too. Look, a video that got almost 19,000
views, the RPM is at 2, so for every 1,000 views I receive more or less 2, and I'll also show you that I modeled this video, okay? I modeled this from this channel here called Icaro, he's a guy who has 5,000
my timeline, my first extra income. And you can too, and here, what I found most interesting is that, let's just see, my make yours too, so what I did was I made my first extra income
of 2025. And you can make yours too, okay? I tried to make it more eye-catching than his video, and the most interesting thing is that in his video he shows TikTok, he shows TikTok, and I also
show TikTok here. It's a coincidence, right? It was a coincidence that he showed that his first extra income was with TikTok, and my first extra income of 2025 was also with TikTok, okay? But in the guy's case, he doesn't
his account, he doesn't show anything, okay? He really only shows his result, which is possible, and in my case, at the end of this video here, I make a call to another video. So let's go, I'll explain the strategy of this video too. I
of 2025 was this," and I show a TikTok account, I show another TikTok account, I show a YouTube account, so, like, three accounts that I...  I have monetized content that I'm earning extra income in 2025, right? But besides
showing my results, at the end of this video there's also a final screen with a tutorial on how you can do the same thing, you understand? So at the end of the video I'll send you to another video which is a tutorial on how to
make exactly this extra income, which is something that the guy here didn't do. video here is about how to make extra income with podcast clips. I tested it and it's working. And if you watch it here, you'll also see that
YouTube isn't luck, it's strategy. Most of the views on this video come at the end of this video I'll show a final screen here, and with this video here, okay? And what happens is people come to this video to learn how to make the content,
I'll show you two more channels, these two channels here, with this strategy. I use the strategy from this video here, which I recommend in the final screens, to in these other two accounts. Okay?  Okay, so this is another strategy I'm
this is another strategy I'm using. So, 41% of the 22,000 views, right? It doesn't show up here anymore, but 40% of the 22,000 views, I do n't know exactly how many, maybe around 10,000. 10,000 views
of this video came from end screens. And this video is very good for me because video. Besides integrating something totally free where you can exactly execute and make extra income, I also sell in this video
here, so I can monetize this video, right? I can earn money with AdSense, but I mainly earn from sales of my info we'll talk about that later, okay?
I'm using, and I modeled this video here, right? I made my first income of 2025 from this guy here, and it's very good. Your video already has 112,000 views. I hope I also achieve this result, but it's not a guarantee
of anything, okay? I hope you get good results.  Also, there's this other video here, right? It's about why most people don't succeed on YouTube even when it's something simple. It's a video that didn't stray too far from the norm; it's more or less in the
middle of my results. But I want to show you that I also modeled this video, but from a different idea, you understand? I take videos from channels that have nothing to do with YouTube. So I took the idea
from Yagor's video here, right? In this video here, "Why most people don't succeed digitally even when it's simple?" So I thought, right when I clicked on it, before making a "Let's get practical" video, I opened the YouTube homepage and started
searching, started looking at video ideas. Then I saw Yagor's video and right away I had the idea, you know? I said, "I'm going to do it," and I even felt inspired to do it, you understand? So I already had a hot topic in my head, I already had a
most people don't succeed on YouTube even when it's simple?" And his was "Why most people don't succeed digitally," which is more his niche, right? Talking about more on...  YouTube wasn't a particularly groundbreaking video, but
I don't necessarily just copy and paste ideas from honest, this guy here doesn't talk about YouTube, I used his
I believe he doesn't talk about YouTube either, he talks about whatever And Yagor also talks about his life on this channel. So, I have a channel where I talk more about YouTube, not just YouTube, but you
understand, right? So, showing you here, just with practice, just with this video here, that YouTube really isn't about luck, it's about strategy. And I'm showing one of the strategies, right? I showed that the model, and besides
modeling, I also play the video from the end screen to another video, and from the end screen to have sales there, I can make sales. It's much easier to sell something after I deliver very valuable content that nobody else delivers for
free. People say, "Wow, man, he delivered all that so fast!"  In a very short time and for free, imagine the paid content, you understand? What's the trick? Now I'm going to show you the results I've achieved in the
last 100 days. So, I'll take October 11th, which was the day I started posting again on "Bora Pra Prática" (Let's Practice). So here it is, 101 days, right? In 101 days we got half a million views, 11,500
subscribers, and 857 likes. And if you're not subscribed to this channel yet, subscribe now, let's grow! And thank you to everyone who's supporting "Bora Pra Prática". last 100 days was our partnership with DBI Contabilidade, which is a
accounting services. And if you already have a YouTube channel and are already making money online, I advise you to contact DBI, because taxes than we should. Sometimes we fail to declare some
taxes, and later on we can have a very big problem. So, making money online, I advise you to have an accountant by your DBI; I've been a client of theirs for about three years now. So,
if you want an accounting firm on your side, the description. Tell them you came from "Bora pra Prática" (Let's Go to Practice). If you you'll get your company opened for free. Plus, the first two
months with DBI are free too, and they don't tie you down. It's very especially if you're already making a decent amount of money. Okay, guys? Next, now I'm going to show you two channels. They're two clip-
cut channels. I do clip-cutting; I have dark channels, which are channels where I do n't need to appear on camera. I basically take the best moments from podcasts, lectures, and such to post on my accounts. I also have accounts on
show you the results from both, not just YouTube, and I'll share some know more about how to do haircuts, there will be a video on the end screen that you can learn for free. And if you want something more direct and
description: the Haircutting University. Okay, okay, I have this account here I have this account here that in the last 102 days, let's see, we reached 4 million views and 17,000 subscribers. So
what I realized is my first lesson with this channel. I'll probably change my niche on this channel because what I realized is that my competitors, my biggest competitors, don't get
get as many views on YouTube, you won't be able to monetize. And my focus here is to make money with YouTube, to make money with TikTok. This long time, and I'll show you the results. Okay, so what
my niche or the audience I reach. Basically, I'm just going to change my approach to reach larger audiences, to get hit the goal of 10 million views to achieve the...
make that change. I'm still thinking about how I'm going to use it, but even so, it's an interesting result. But for short, which is 10 million views, it's not ideal, so I'll probably change something
here. But now let's go to TikTok. On TikTok, the story is different. We've already TikTok, the story is different. We've already reached 33 million views, and I'll say in advance that not all of those views are monetized. This
account here already has more than 140,000 followers. Let's go! I even noted some things here, like this: it's difficult to monetize on YouTube on this channel. thinking about changing the YouTube audience.
'll show you now how much money I've already made with this account. It monetized. I have to go here to followers, look, I go to followers, and I go to the last 60 days, not the last 365 days, okay? Here, it monetized on
reached the follower requirement, right? That has to be met.  10,000 followers to TikTok, we reached that on November 8th, right? And at the beginning of this account, our RPM, what
views, was around 12 cents, but over time it started to decrease and reached 300, right? You saw here, right? Our RPM is at 300, so for every 1000 views we receive 300, which would be more or less 18 cents. Okay,
I don't necessarily see this as a problem because for me it's more of an extra income. I received the last payment here on January 15th from this account, it was around 87. The first payment was 100 and 100
something dollars. Let's see if I can put that here for you too. And this is something that happens. In this case, unfortunately, I have an account where the RPM on TikTok is low. And something else that happens is that TikTok
is kind of a little thief. Sometimes you post videos there and it gets disqualified, and not just because they're edited. There are people who post other types of content, even original content, and sometimes it gets
make money with that video because it's said, "Oh, it's low quality," or "It's CRI content," or "Oh, it's original content." Then you have to appeal, etc. TikTok is very annoying. And something else I've noticed with TikTok is that it's the platform that decides
I've noticed with TikTok is that it's the platform that decides best video ever, the kind that performed well on Facebook, on platforms, but TikTok will say, " Hold on, I'm not going to deliver your
video." I don't know exactly why it does that. It's something I don't find focusing more on YouTube monetization, and I'll show you why my So I have these reservations about TikTok; it monetizes faster. I've
make money, but I wouldn't focus solely on TikTok. I other accounts as well. I have BORP, which has several other sources of income in dollars. Okay, now let's get to the great part, which is this account I have here. It
's a streaming channel that we've been posting on for 76 days. It's my newest account, and it's already monetized on YouTube, and monetized very well. Here we have our results, which were 24 million views, we got 68,000
subscribers, and we already have 300. But hold on, counted. We monetized our account on January 4th, right? It's three
at the very end of the day on January 3rd, right? January 4th. So from here we January 4th. So from here we achieved all the monetization, okay? And I'm really speak very badly of YouTube Shorts,
videos longer than 60 seconds. Now it accepts videos up to 3 minutes, so that's very good, okay? And one thing that...  I really liked it because it monetizes, and it monetizes very well. I've seen channels that are making like $
0.00 just with shorts. Of course, you need to get like 100 million, 200 million views, but for YouTube...  In the long term, it's not difficult. Imagine this channel has 68,000 subscribers, but imagine when it has 1 million
I'll make, how many views I need to get to reach 1 million subscribers. And besides that, how much money I'll make in the meantime, now that this account is monetized, it 's exploding! But I need to
I said on TikTok, there are disqualifications, on YouTube there's limited monetization. This content here sometimes has some very strong words, it's a stronger, heavier niche. So
got the most views is this one here, which has limited monetization. It has 4.5 million views and the monetization is limited. There was some aggression, it was an image from a security camera, there was
did everything correctly, but even so it fell as limited. And what happens is, the it started monetizing here on [date]. January 4th, so here it is, he monetized it with
1,200,000 views, but he made, like, it was supposed to make around $30. So when monetization is limited, you earn about 10% of the total revenue, and you could have already made $6 with this video, but I made $3.60. Okay,
here. There are other videos with limited monetization too, with some harsher language, you can try to claim it, but it doesn't make much difference. Most of my most viewed videos, look here, R$
million, 300,000, 3 million, 2 million, 2 million, 1 million, everything is activated, everything is making good money. This is a video that I monetized completely, okay? It has 3.7 million views, it already gave me $3,000 just from this video, and it
thing I want to show you...  Okay, so I made a video last Friday, January 17th, about the seven traps every YouTuber falls into: worrying about the first 24 hours of a video. The video has 3.7 million
views, and check this out: how were the results in the first few days? In 24 hours, we got 3,500 views. You know that for short, that 's very little, right? So then in two days it doubled, like
a standard delivery, 7,200 in three days. Then from the second to the third day it started to increase even more. And then it started to take off, right? On the third day it already had 61,000 views, on the fourth day it already had
fourth day it already had 370,000, on the fifth day, that's great, right? It already had 1 million, and then it just kept rising, rising and rising and it doesn't stop rising. It stagnated a bit, so to speak, like now it's around a
few thousand views a day, but I still think it's a good result accumulating the videos, and then in the end you have, let's say here, half a million views, 600,000, 1 million, 400,000, and you're
earning your money, right? There's another video, this other video here, which views. Okay, I didn't monetize it all, it was monetized on January 3rd, so from here, approximately 2 million views were
interesting, especially at the beginning of your channel, let's go back here, is that when YouTube will also sometimes freeze your videos. Sometimes you'll have a video with... there are important metrics here on YouTube, right? On
this first video I posted has this metric here which is very important: how many people watched it. So, for every 100 people that YouTube sent this video to, at least 75 people watched at least 5 seconds of the
video, okay, they stayed and watched the video. Another important metric is retention time, which is roughly this: out of the 75 people who watched the video, approximately 98% of those 75 people watched
at least 21 seconds of the video. But what often happens at the beginning of will freeze. You'll post a really, really, really great video that views, but it will freeze at 10,000, 15,000, or 20,000 views and
on YouTube, less so than on TikTok. It happens much more often on TikTok, and it's a real bummer. So what I usually do is, I make the then I delete it, and then I repost it. But after
about 30 days, this video here—I posted it 78 days ago—so I would make it private, I wouldn't leave it unlisted, and then the next day...  I would post a new video the next day, delete it, and on the same day I deleted it, I would post this new video. It's something I
do that gives results, especially because at the beginning of the account, it's like your YouTube isn't warmed up yet, you know? And then it freezes, it freezes a year from now, this video will get more views. It might
happen, but I'm using this strategy. The video is good, I know it here is to only post videos that have already been validated, videos that have already given results. give results, but sometimes they won't because YouTube or
TikTok froze and isn't delivering that video. Okay, so this happens. Don't worry. And one thing I didn't talk about regarding TikTok, even here for TikTok, look, it's the TikTok of this same channel, right, which has been monetized for a while now, I'll
thing that happens is that I post a video a while back and it doesn't deliver, it doesn't deliver, and people think it's dead, that it's not TikTok.  It won't deliver, but I posted a video 20 days ago, it has 1000 views. Then, after
views. This happens, it happens out of nowhere. You see your account know where the views are coming from, then you go to the account notifications and you see people commenting, liking, and sharing the video from way back.
taking advantage of the fact that we're already on TikTok, we've already reached 15 million views. We already have 70,000 followers on this account too, very fast, right? In 70-something days, right? We're at 77, it's around 76 or 77 days,
we already have very interesting results. And one cool thing that's happening on this account here is that its RPM isn't low, it's around because, as I showed you the first account, which is a cutting channel, this one
the first cutting channel.  The RPM is at 2-3 cents, this one here might decrease over time, it's at 11-12 cents, so I can still get a higher income from the views. So besides having this
have this monetized YouTube account, so here it will show how much money I've made with this account. Now, on January 15th, the money accumulated from that other account I showed you, which was $86, and this
account here too, which was more or less $86-$87, it was practically the same thing, so it came to around $170, $167, I don't know. And then in my account it showed around R$1,000, it was around R$ 900 and something, they lowered it because
the dollar was around 6.4, I don't know, so they put it at 570-560, right? Because they make a PIX (Brazilian payment method) to your account, so I made around R$1,000 will be these two monetized accounts on TikTok, plus this
a good amount of money, right? Let's go back here so you can see, 300, 300 is more or less, let's do a quick calculation: 300 x 5 equals R$ 1,500, R$1,800. That's and the month isn't even over yet, right? Here it's counting until January 18th, so there are still a few days
to count. It didn't count these first three days here, so I believe I'll receive a good amount of money just from this account. It may be that just from the channel itself, receiving from TikTok and YouTube, I'll receive more or less R$
3,000 or a little more than R$3,000, that's without counting the actual figures. Let's get to the practical calculations, let's get to the practical calculations, then it'll go up to, I don't know, around R$ 5,000 more or less. So if you 're interested in making similar channels like this one, just
click on this video here, okay? Feel free to click, watch, and enjoy this little system stops working, I'll bring it to you guys too. Okay, see I'll bring it to you guys too. Okay, see you there.
