In this free course, motivational speaker Mahendra Dogney shares his proven 7-point system for building a successful YouTube channel and earning money. Drawing from his experience growing multiple channels to millions of subscribers, he covers everything from niche selection to monetization and long-term success strategies.

## Transcript

motivational speaker and live coach. Today's video is going to be very interesting because today I have brought a short course for you guys, free of cost, in which you are going to learn how to earn money by creating a channel on YouTube. It is a
very easy thing. When we started this thing, we had no idea that it would be such a big thing that would change our entire life. Because earlier I used to run an institute and I closed it there and shifted it. Such a motivational
speaker, first I want to show you two things before starting the course. First, I will show you a video on your screen and its earnings. This is to inspire you, not to show off. Here we had posted a video about these businesses or 5
businesses that will never close. We had given business ideas in some big businesses, in you invest money in these things or do these businesses, then they will stay with you for life. You will never face any problem. You
can watch its lifetime morning.  It has reached more than 15000 and it is still running, which means it has not stopped, it is running regularly, we earn income from it every month we earn income from it every month and this is just one video, now if you calculate 15000 *
82 which is the rate of dollar then it comes to more than 12 lakh rupees, which it comes to more than 12 lakh rupees, which means just one video has earned us more than 12 lakh rupees and this earning has not stopped, it will keep going,
I have given this example only so that you can understand, many people have this question that brother, how much can we earn from YouTube, what is the potential, do we get money or not, then you can guess from this only, now you do not get 12 lakh rupees from every video,
some get less and some can get more, it depends on what type of topic is there or you are making videos and at what time that video is going viral, it depends on many things, we will
talk about this in the upcoming topic, this is the full course, here you will not get anything  And there is no need to learn, there is no need to pay money, meaning if you watch this course from the beginning till the end, you will understand roughly what you have to do well.
Now if you want more details about it, then tell me later by commenting in the comment box, but now see the second thing, why can I make this in a video or why are you learning from me only,
why do you have to watch this video completely through me, see, it is a very simple thing, we have two channels on YouTube and within the last five years, we have taken the first channel to two million plus, you are probably watching this video on the second channel, its followers have crossed 3.3 million, it is about to reach 3.4
million now, we have taken Facebook to more than 4.2 million, our Facebook page, our Instagram page is one million plus verified page, after this, on the social ID, you can see 14 million plus subscribers or followers,
this means 2.5 to 3 crore, which is our total, if you sisters with us, now you should understand this  You must have wondered that
in five years we have such a huge base or a fan following or our brothers and sisters are associated with us, so what is the secret that I got so many followers on every platform, be it YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or when TikTok was there or
Mob, you people think that friend I do n't even have 1000 followers and you got so many so quickly and it is not like on all the different not on Facebook, Facebook, not on Instagram, our followers or
subscribers are almost zero everywhere, you can here and we are going to grow day by day, so I can explain it very easily that on a personal level because I did
not ask anyone, brother, how to make a channel, how to get subscribers, how to grow, how to monetize, I did not ask anyone about this, I did everything on my hair, so I got everything from zero to the last.  Some know how to do it,
so I can explain it to you better, so let's start this course and this course is divided into seven points, meaning today we are going to learn seven points, seven things, and from the first to the seventh,
all your confusions will be cleared and you will know everything about how to earn money from YouTube. Let's come to topic number one or point number one, so whenever you want to start a YouTube channel, what will be the first point, see, the
first point will be that you should have an idea on which subject or topic you are going to come on YouTube or make videos on YouTube, or if I make videos on YouTube, or if I say it simply, you
want people to recognize me by the name of motivational speaker, then someone might think that friend, I should be recognized by the name of tag, someone thinks that friend, I should be known by the name of comedy king, so known by the name of comedy king, so
industries have come and gone, as I will tell you now in big also, but you will have to find such an industry  You have to find a talent that fits within it and that you can upload videos to it for a long time. For example, I'll
tell you some categories, like teaching is included in the category, like motivation. You all know that our channel is a motivational channel. After this, there are tag channels where information about tags is given. There are cooking channels where
information about cooking is given. The teaching category is becoming very famous these days. This industry has grown a lot since Covid. Before Covid, it was non-existent, but since Kuwait, it has grown very well. After this, there is the hockey category. So, here
you can see that you can shoot in it. If you do n't fit into these categories, there is no problem. You can look at blogging channels. There is a lot of scope there too. After this, you can look at rustic channels. Many people roast each other
and are earning good money by creating channels on it. Comedy videos, whether stand-up comedy, Shakti or comedy videos, are gaining a lot of popularity through them. After this, people can have knowledge channels, videos of moto biking or travel
blogs, so my simple point to understand the first point is that you should forget everything, they will come later. You have to sit down and think for a day, two days, a week, a month and be
a month and be very clear about which category you want to focus on and whether you have any interest in focusing on that category or not. You also have to know this and the most important thing is whether it has a future or not.
Like you know the future of teaching, you know the future of motivation, you know the future of health will always be there. The hosting community is there now, but who knows, it will not be there tomorrow. The gaming industry was quite famous earlier, but now it has slowed down a bit.
In the music industry, like many people used to compose songs on the guitar. Earlier it was very famous, but now you must have seen that the songs created on the guitar, that entire industry is copyright issues come up there, so you should see this thing.  It must be that you want to work in your category
and whether its future is good or not, then want to go in your category, okay you have done this, let
important, now what you have to do is you have to here many brothers and sisters make the mistake which I also did, when I was in my youth,
and which was call.mahi164@gmail.com, now see, it sounded very good, call.nahi164@gmail.com, but I made this mistake, I created
almost some of my YouTube channels with this ID only, now think that when the brand comes for promotion, it will see call.nahi, will it sound good, not at all, so the most important advice of mine is to create a Gmail ID, if
you have one already, then do not create that and create your channel.  Create a Gmail ID related to your name or your own name. Okay, that's it, you know that you have to create a YouTube channel with that Gmail ID. Now the second point in this is that
you have created your YouTube channel with your Gmail ID. A detailed create it because this is a very big topic in itself. But if you go to YouTube and write how to create a YouTube channel, then many videos will appear
here and you can easily create a YouTube channel by watching those videos. Therefore, there is no problem in it, it is a very easy thing. After this, the most important thing is that the YouTube channel has been created. As you go to create it,
you will have to write a name, brother, what do you want to name your YouTube channel. Although that name can be changed later, but from the very beginning, you will have to think of a unique name that matches your category. For example, we
named our first channel HD. Motivation is my name in Mahendra Dog, so I took its HD and see motivation, here when any person comes to my channel, he will already know that yes HD motivation means something related to motivation, the
thing is understandable, like the name of a channel is Physics wala, it is simple, brother, people must be understanding that it is something related to the study of Physics, similarly many people have kept very good names, so you also
choose a name of your category and as soon as you create the channel, you will have to keep that name there, think of a name a little antique, think of such a name which goes on the tongue of the people and which is think of such a name which goes on the tongue of the people and which is also common and is famous, but keep such names, many
people keep very strange names, although some names become famous later, but you should try to keep a name related to your category, so this second process gets completed here, now here comes the third thing and that is that
you have to create content, what things do you need for it, there are many of them  People have questions like, look, you need three things to create any content. First, you need a video camera. If you're in the video category, if you do
n't have one, that's fine. Second, you need a good audio device from which you will record the audio. You need an audio device. You need a microphone. Simple, third, you need a good location. If these three things are almost
finished, you need a video recorder. Or you can say a camera. You don't have one. No problem. You can start with your mobile. If you do You can start with your mobile. If you do
You can get those. Location is very important. Sometimes, there's less space in your home. Location is very important. Sometimes, there's less space in your home. problem with that. It will depend on your category and what kind of
video you want to make. So, you need three most important things to make a video. When the video is made, that is, recorded, you still need something after that. If you're a professional editor or want to become one,
you can use premium software like Pro, or you can use Honda City for audio and video clips. If you want to edit thumbnails, you can use Photoshop or Corel. If you don't have one, upload it to YouTube. There are
good video editors available, which are free of cost, and you can edit your thumbnails from there as well. See, how much has happened in the third point? If you want to make a video, how do you make it? You'll need a camera, a microphone,
and a good location. After that, you'll need a laptop or desktop to edit the video. You don't have to have money in the beginning. There's no need to worry. You can also have very good recorders on your mobile phone, or there are editors like Photoshop, you
can edit with that too. So, perhaps this much has become clear to you. Now we'll move on to the fourth point, which is the most important. You should know in which category you want to create content.  Or what will be its length?
Earlier, the short content, the short videos, were not so famous, but now the two categories of videos have expanded. You will have to ask yourself first that you must have clarity whether you are a short content creator or a long format
content creator. Like my category is of both, like in motivation, we put the course in the short content category and when we have to make such a course or talk on any topic, then we create long content. See,
both the things are included in our category, so it is possible that both the things suit your category too, then you can also make it. If it is not included in both the categories, then you will have to specify that brother, I want to make a short content video or a
long format video. You will have to keep yourself clear in this matter because what I am going to tell you now is very important. So this is the fourth category of content you are going to create. The fifth thing is very much  It
is important how should be the consistency of the life of any social media influencer, so it influencer, so it how should be the consistency of any content, for which I have made a list, so it will be
easy for you to understand, you will have to ask yourself which category you are in and according to that category, in how many days an audience needs that video, like here we see that in the teaching category, your video should come almost every single day,
you must have seen that all the teaching classes or whatever YouTube channels of that category, they come live almost every day and they teach the subject or many subjects or there are classes at some places throughout the day, it
means what a student of the teaching category would want, if you teach him every day, then you will have to make a video every day, apart from this, if in the motivational category, which is my category, in between, if you give two or three videos in a week, it will be less every
day  You don't need to upload videos here. After this, if you make shorts, you may have to make daily videos in the shorts category. possible that you make two dishes a week. Your channel will do very well. There's no problem. For example, if you make a
comedy video, even if you make one video in Math, it will do less. You don't need to make comedy videos every single day, nor are You must have understood that the frequency of your videos will depend on your category.
that the frequency of your videos will depend on your category. might be clear to you, but the most important thing is that you remain consistent. Many people do this: they open a YouTube channel, don't see success for a few days,
after which they forget about consistency. You don't have to do this. By this point, you've learned about five things. The sixth thing is the most important because you've created a channel, created a Gmail ID, and written a name.
You know how to create content. You're definitely going to read about its equipment. Which software are going to be installed and you also know in which two you have to upload the video, which category of video to upload, you have come to know everything but now comes the
technical aspect of uploading the video, when you upload the video or it is made, what will you have to do after that, you have to go to the channel which you have created, first of all there is an option of uploading the video, there you have to upload the video
and after uploading the video, what technical things do you have to pay attention to, like first of all you have to write the title related to the subject of your video, for example, there I am teaching you how to earn money from YouTube, so here see
how we have kept the thumbnail, you know, see the title here, what is the title written, we have kept that, when we go to the description, there will be a description of it, what are we going to tell in this course, after this a tag option comes, so
after this a tag option comes, so YouTube ko ho to income from YouTube will write this type of thing here, it is a simple thing, what you have to do, first you have to write the title, after that
you have to write the description, after that you have to add tags and after that you have to check the thumbnail, you have to add the thumbnail, okay, so it should be related to your topic, after this you also have to keep in mind that the title you are writing, that is, the thing you are
writing that brother, this is a free short course on YouTube, then are you giving the information in the YouTube language in it or are you telling something else, if you tell something algorithm will catch it and will not let it go viral so much, so you should make such a combination of title,
description text and tag that whatever related to it so that YouTube's algorithm will catch it, yes brother, this is the right thing, so make it viral, in this way your videos will come in people's feed
and they will also go viral and now this is the most important thing which you must have been waiting for from the beginning, brother  I have told you everything but tell me the thing for which we came here, that is, how are we going to earn from here, so
you might have been surprised by that, there are many such interesting things and there are, but a beginner on YouTube, who is a content creator, starts uploading videos on YouTube, how does his earning start, let us talk about that, so let me
tell you the new rules for that, still if you want to monetize your channel then it means that you are enrolling in YouTube's partner program and for that now the new rules are something like this that first of all you should have at
least 500 subscribers, after that at least three videos should be uploaded on your channel in 90 days, this has become compulsory and in both the 90 days the watch time of the videos that you are uploading should be at least 3000 hours or if you are
small different rule for that, if you upload shorts videos regularly  If you are monetizing your channel, then it should have three million plus views within 90 days and your channel will be monetized. So if you are a short video content creator, then understand that
you need three million plus views and if you are a long format content creator, then the second thing that I have told you is compulsory. So what will happen after this is that when your channel is monetized,
ads will start running on the videos of your channel and the ads will run according to your instructions. come whether you want to run these ads or not. Which side you want to run or not, it depends on you. Now what will happen after this is that as soon as
your account is monetized, that is, your channel has to be added in AdSense, the ads have been added there. As soon as the amount of 10 dollars is added to your channel, first of all, Google company will send you such a big envelope, Google AdSense will be written on it and a four-
digit code will be written on it, which you have to enter on Google AdSense.  There are formalities that need to be enter on Google AdSense.  There are formalities that need to be completed. After that, if in any given month, if your balance reaches $100, then
your payment is credited to your account between the 24th and 25th of the next month. For example, when our balance first started coming in the month of April, it has always been above $100, so we have not faced any problem. But if it is
not below $100, then the payment gets credited to your account when it happens in the next month. There is Just keep one thing in mind that you have to inform your bank that perhaps our one-time payment is going to come from Google, YouTube or in dollars, then
their forex department will add it to your account. You have to submit brother, this payment will come every month, please inform them also and they will  Payment will start coming every month. Now, as your subscribers and followers increase,
YouTube will also appreciate you. See, as soon as you reach 100, you will get a silver play button, for which you have to submit a request. You should know this in advance. As soon as you reach 1 million, you will get a golden play button, and as soon as you reach 10 million,
you will get a diamond play button. Currently, we have two YouTube channels, and both have more than a million views each, so we have two silver play buttons and two golden play buttons. Apart from this, if you do good work, you are also given a partner manager from
YouTube, who helps you in managing the YouTube channel. Apart from this, YouTube channel. Apart from this, so you will also get those facilities, which means you will become a part of the YouTube family,
and they will tweet you well. Now finally, if the three ministers of this YouTube journey also ask me what is that thing which has made me successful on YouTube and other social media.  Make you famous or give you success in
life, I am telling you those three mantras, you should write them down and apply these three mantras in the accompanying button, you too can become a successful content creator, first of all it is can become a successful content creator, first of all it is most important that your focus should be
entirely on creating good content and not on earning money because I did the same when I started on YouTube, I discontinued my coaching that was running for 6 years and entered the
journey of content creation with complete dedication, I got zero money for almost 4 months, that means in January, February, March and April I did not have any payment, neither from my coaching because it was discontinued nor from YouTube because there were no followers or subscribers,
but after the fourth month i.e. from April onwards, whenever I started getting payment, by the grace of God, by the grace of nature, till date there has not been a single day when our payment was kept or not received in any month, we have always earned money, but
what did I do for that, the first and most important thing I did was to focus on earning money  I did not pay attention, I focused on creating good content, I is a by-product, it came automatically, the second and most important thing, the important lesson
for you people is that no matter what happens, if you have decided that I have to do this then you have decided that I have to do this then you will have to be consistent and improve yourself every time, ask yourself why people are watching my videos
and if views are not coming then do not blame anyone that YouTube is not showing the video, YouTube is not making it viral, all these are useless things, you ask yourself why people are not watching my videos, in this category like there is a
cooking category or there will be a motivation category, then if I am getting views in the creation category of motivation then I have to ask myself the question again and again that why are not watching mine, one day you will get the answer to this why,
your video will also start going viral and your earning will also increase  It will start happening more but for that you will have to be consistent and you will have to find your mistakes again and again and correct them and the third and most important thing is that you will have to
change yourself from time to time in this industry. What does this mean that if I am in the motivational category then I should know what changes are happening in this world and I will have to change myself with that change, like earlier the stock market was
not so famous but today it is, so we will have to take its knowledge as well and our audience will have to learn it as well, like earlier there was no AI but today it has become AI and if I keep talking about old things in these, then no AI but today it has become AI and if I keep talking about old things in these, then
whatever changes are happening from time to time, you will also have to move along with it, you will also have to make changes and if you do not make those changes then for a time you will become famous and money will work but after some time someone else will come and sit in your place, so
else will come and sit in your place, so these are the three lessons, if you remember these rules or these rules and mix the seven things that I have told you, then there will be a lot of success in your life.  There is a great success and power in this journey of social media. I hope
you liked this short course and all the other shortcuts that we are creating like on English spoken, after this we have created on share market and we are going to bring many more shortcuts which will bring a big change in your life. You
must tell me by commenting in the comment box that how much do you understand when I am learning and which new topics do you want to learn which are free of cost so that you do not have to spend money and you also learn well. If you are new to the channel then subscribe and do not
forget to like and share the video. We will meet again in the next video, till then meet again in the next video, till then thank you.
