Now [music] I am convinced that it is really simple, but only with the right knowledge. And I acquired this very knowledge over the course of 6 years, [music] having uploaded more than 5,000 videos. And this video will be about what I have understood during this time. 5,000 times I made a video, 5,000 times I clicked the publish button and [music] 4,000 times I saw failure. But without it I wouldn't be who I am today. when I can afford things I could never even dream of. I teach people, and more than 300 people have already learned how to make money on YouTube by working with me. And [music] it was these 5,000 videos that made me who I am today. Every video I upload is a valuable experience and a building block [music] in the system that I have been building for 6 years. And in this video I will analyze the main things, many of which are not obvious, that I have understood over all this time. Enjoy watching. The first thing I want to discuss is the partnership with YouTube. I would call it that. We can never play against YouTube or pretend that we are good when we are not. What do I mean? For example, boosting views or our videos to give YouTube good retention, although this only further we can do at the start is to become a YouTube partner, play with them on the earn [music] money together. How can this be done? The first thing to understand is what YouTube needs from us. The platform wants every channel on it to create original content and keep viewers on the platform for as long as possible, without them going to TikTok, Reels, or other platforms to watch movies. It is important for YouTube that viewers stay here and watch videos only on this platform. This means that if we retain the viewer with our content [music] for as long as possible, he will promote us. Everything is simple here. There is no need to invent anything, there are no secrets, no VPNs, no changing IP addresses. No, [music] American, French, Arabic. We IP address. The main thing is that it is interesting to the viewer. [music] And this is the biggest myth right now, that if you make an American YouTube, then you need other countries, other prices, somehow come up with something, figure it out. No, YouTube doesn't care where we load our content from. [music] It’s important to him who our content is aimed at and what quality it is. This is what and only what he pays attention to. So keep that in mind. And once we start to be in notice how much [the music] and the level of views, and retention, and clicks on our covers will change. This is a fundamental thing: when we understand YouTube’s goals, that’s already half the battle. stay on the platform longer. How can I influence this? First, for example, transferring content from one of videos so that viewers stay on the channel longer and watch more of our content. throughout the video so that the viewer keeps looking at the third part more and more. Make the topics themselves interesting, so that the viewer wants to click on them watch them to the end and stay on the channel. That is, everything here is on the surface. Once we understand the purpose of YouTube and, most importantly, why we are doing all this, then everything becomes easier. We don’t overthink things and work towards results. And this is something that took me a couple of years to understand. So here you go, [music] apply it and don’t put thing I want to highlight is patience and consistency. Let's start with patience. This is something that should definitely be behind the back of wants to build a business on this [music] platform. It doesn’t matter whether your channel has a face or not, whatever you like. You can have any niche, but the point is that YouTube decides when to promote you. And this can happen in the first week, or [music] And those people who come without patience, with the intention of playing around, trying things out, and treat YouTube like a topic. And as a because if they don’t see a quick, tangible result, then, , this makes things easier for us, because there is less competition on the have patience and understand how YouTube works, they [music] have a more pieces of that pie. But personally, I have buried a lot of channels simply due to a lack of patience, perseverance, and understanding that this is a long-term game. Therefore, have chosen a niche and understand that [music] is your business, then follow through , even if you don’t see results for a long time. You will inevitably thank yourself for it later. And speaking of regularity, YouTube doesn't have any your videos are uploaded, so that it's in one second, in one minute, in one day. [music] No, he doesn't care. He looks accustomed. And if he sees that, in terms of general dynamics [of music], you publish more or less regularly, adhering to the schedule, he understands that you have a head start over the person who came. Even if he does it better than you, he doesn’t have stability. And in this case, YouTube will, of course, give all preference to you. Therefore, if you are already on YouTube or are involved in YouTube, then please be kind enough to create content regularly. This is something that can be your trump card in the long run, so keep track of your regularity. The next thing I want to highlight in this video is to be constantly analyzing. What do I mean? We can choose a cool niche, we can [music] consistently produce content, we can even create a content plan in advance and know what we will have in 30 videos. But it's incredibly, you could say, vitally important to keep our finger on the pulse and understand what's going on with our competitors. Perhaps a new format, a new blog, a new idea, a new description, literally make it a habit to visit your best competitors twice a week and see what they're doing well, what they're not doing well , take note of any lessons, and adapt the best from can multiply our income. Simply because we will allocate two hours a week to a good analysis of competitors. And once you start doing this, you wo n't even notice how the average level of views across all your channels will increase exponentially. [music] I advise taking everything into account: competitors' ideas, the purity of publications, the time of publications, covers, descriptions, tags, [music] optimization, final rates, literally down to the smallest details. If your competitor is successful, it means they know something, and we need to adopt the best of what they do. The next thing is not at all obvious, but it also changes the game. This is, as the American guys say, be open- minded. In other words, keep your mind open to all new knowledge. acquaintances, ideas, niches, that is, be ready for everything. How I understand this and soon as a person appeared on my YouTube, phone, circle, anywhere who knew something better than me, I tried to do everything to why you are watching this video right now. At the start of my journey, I tried in the same way to greedily take all the knowledge that could be communities, in some trainings. That is, when I had a goal to understand what YouTube was, I was extremely hungry for any piece of information. This is what helped me achieve my results. So, whether you take paid [music] lessons or just search for information online, it's important to always keep an open mind and [music] be prepared to take a student's position in front of someone who knows something better than you. And that's precisely why I invite the best speakers from my circle to my paid product, people who have already mastered this game, are already $10,000 a month and know exactly what result. We all know this type of person who, upon seeing someone else's success, lucky," or, "Oh, rich parents, but it does n't last forever." And, as a rule, when they visit these people's pages, they have nothing but their online opinion. And this is simply because their minds are closed to new information, and it's easier for them to explain someone else's success than to try to do the same. And if you've noticed this in yourself, the faster you move into a student's position, the higher your results and your income will be. I've realized this repeatedly from my own experience, and I wish the same for you. I respect your time as much as possible, so I recently filmed a full-fledged instruction manual where I described in detail everything I managed to do on YouTube, what I did, what niches I filmed, and what actions led me to the manual in the first line of the description, as well as in the tip in this video. I'll also leave my Telegram channel in the description. Where I also openly share all my knowledge. So, if you want to be open-minded, then subscribe. Another important thing I want to touch on is the power of idea and niche. We can create great content, be super-savvy with editing, animation, covers, whatever, and be more consistent than anyone else. But if our ideas are so-so, then it's pointless. So, fundamentally, as they say, it's better to spend one minute planning than 10 hours on chaotic work. And at the very bottom of this big YouTube game, it's better to spend a little more time choosing a niche and competently analyzing competitors than to realize later direction and climbing the wrong mountain. And how to choose a dream niche for yourself, one that discussed in a separate video on my channel, in which I also gave examples of 100 topics that are working right now. It's already on my channel. And the that It's better to spend a little more time choosing a niche and conducting a thorough analysis wrong. That's why I sincerely advise devoting more time to what we do and why we do it. Then it will be much easier, and we'll be able to publish our videos with a clear understanding and a cool head . What have videos published on YouTube? That the platform rewards not those who publish more than others, but those who learn faster than others, and often from their mistakes. After all, you can make 5,000 videos and get to the same point, or you can make 50 videos and end up where I did, if you do something with the right my instructions, where I've gone into detail about what you can shoot, how YouTube promote you. The link is on the screen and in the first line of the description under the video. Thank you for watching.
