[00:01] the most frustrating stages for any [musician] who is starting out.  1000 subscribers, 4000 hours of viewing time on your videos seems like an impossible wall to overcome.  And I know, I understand you, because I've been through
[00:15] that process too.  But what if I told you that you can start earning money from day one without having to wait to meet those YouTube partner requirements ?  Today I'm going to show you the new model, how you can monetize a channel
[00:29] from day one, even with few subscribers and few views. If you don't know me, I'm Erica Lanis and I manage more than 10 automated channels that together generate between € 10,000 and €20,000 for me every month.  And not
[00:43] only that, but I also help other people achieve those same results.  In fact, with the tip I'm going to tell you in today's video, I was able to make over €12,000 in a single month with an automated channel.
[00:56] Most new creators associate the word monetize with the moment YouTube approves you into the partner program.  And yes, that's obviously a big step, but it doesn't have to be the only one.  There are complementary models
[01:11] that allow you to earn income from day one without depending on AdSense.  And that's not to say it's replacing ads, it's simply another way to earn money with our own YouTube channels.  And why does this
[01:24] alternative exist?  Ultimately, YouTube is a discovery platform. Millions of people access the platform every day with the intention of finding a solution to their problems.  And if your videos manage to solve those
[01:37] problems for a specific audience, you can connect much more with your audience through tools, products, or training that provide them with value.  And that's called indirect monetization.   You don't need to meet
[01:51] monetization requirements to do so. You just need to know what problems your audience has and what solution you can offer to those problems.  I'm going to give you a practical example.  Imagine you have a productivity channel.  Instead of
[02:03] waiting for YouTube to pay you for those 1000 views, [music] you can include a recommendation for a tool or course that helps those people get more organized with their time, and in the end, each person who buys that course will
[02:16] generate a commission for you for each sale.  And the best part is that this type of content adding viewing hours and building greater loyalty with your audience. Now we're going to talk about the two ways to monetize your channel and how you can
[02:30] combine them.  The first is direct monetization, the income that comes from YouTube, whether from views, memberships or super chats.  And the second is indirect monetization, income that
[02:42] comes from external sources, whether affiliates, training, products or services.  And it's not a matter of choosing one or the other.  Ultimately, the strongest channels combine both monetization methods. While you begin to meet the
[02:56] program requirements, you can start building that external part.  So, , you'll already have two active income streams.  I want you to look at this channel you're seeing on the screen. This channel is a masculinity channel
[03:12] sources that I just told you about below.  One is the source of Google AdSense, that is, the visits, and two is external monetization.  We see that if we go, for example, to their most popular video from 2 years ago, if we go down here
[03:28] we see that it redirects us to other videos, even to other channels, and also, first of all, it directs us to a Discord, which you can join here, [music] and then they make you the apps that basically what they are doing here
[03:41] is that you join a free group and then that group hits your pain points so that you pay a higher price to access another site.  Then, if we go to the channel description here, we see that it redirects us to Twitter, okay?
[03:55] A X [music] and here it takes us directly to a [ __ ] product, okay?  If we look around here, it's not active right now, but I'm sure this channel has made a lot of money before selling that
[04:08] product.  And not only that, but when you enter the channel, the members' information appears.  We see that they have subscriptions, okay?, from €4.99 per month, €14.99 per month, €39.99, €100 [music] and €500 per month.  So,
[04:24] simply from those 300,000, 500,000, 1 million visits that you generate per month, even if someone pays you the top ticket, which is €500 per month, you would already be making €500 per month plus all the visits, all the money you
[04:38] 're making from Adsens.  And I've given you very low numbers, but imagine you get 1 million views with your channel and monetize this €500 per month ticket, you can really put 10 people on board perfectly if the product is good and
[04:52] if the funnel is good.  So, if you generate a million visits, 1 million people's traffic, if you manage to get 10 people on board, that's already €5,000 a month, plus all that money we would be earning from the visits.  Once you've
[05:06] seen this reference channel, I'd like to give you some tips so you can get started from day one. So the first piece of advice I recommend is that you choose a niche, a topic with real demand.  Don't just aim for virality,
[05:20] aim to solve a problem.  As I mentioned before, the most profitable niches for this are usually in money, health, technology, [music], relationships, and personal development.  The second piece of advice is to create a
[05:33] main video of value, a video of between 15 and 30 minutes that fully explains the solution you give to that audience and obviously in that video mention the useful resource, whether it is an affiliation to a program, a course, a
[05:47] software, a membership, etc.  Your goal doesn't have to be just to sell and that's it .  Your goal has to be to find a solution for that audience, for the problems they have.  And in the end, it's about really understanding the avatar of the people you're
[05:59] addressing from that very audience. The third piece of advice is to measure conversations, not just visits. Analyze how many people view the link and how many people take action.  Sometimes 1000 well-targeted visits to that
[06:14] external monetization [music] are much better than 10,000 meaningless ones.  I, for example, want to talk to you about a channel, the channel that I scaled to more than €12,000 in monthly revenue.  What I did on that channel was spend two months beforehand
[06:29] understanding what that person wanted, what that audience wanted.  And so you understand, it was in the trading niche. I saw that there was a great demand and that the trading really had high purchasing power.  Apart from that, I did it
[06:44] in English.  What I did was sign up for a course that was being sold for over €3,000. So, I really only had to make four sales to reach that €12,000 in revenue.  And believe me, it's not that difficult to generate half a million
[07:00] visits or 100,000 visits and actually have four people buy from you. With just four people buying from me, scale. here that you're seeing on screen now. And if you look closely, I didn't generate many visits.
[07:16] In fact, the most viral video here has 10,000 views, but they are 10,000 qualified views.  So now that you've made it this far and would like to know how you can make money on YouTube without showing your face, we have many
[07:28] success stories in our academy of people who are already literally living off this. So if you too want to take action and want to be the next to achieve those results, write me the word "action" on Instagram, this
[07:41] screen, on this Instagram you're seeing on the screen, and I'll get in touch with you to see if you too can be the next person to can be the next person to achieve those results.  Yeah.
