## Transcript

this video, I'm going to give you a basic overview for those entering the everything in this video so you can expand your awareness and start off the right way. But if you want detailed information on
how to edit, how to mine, how to monetize, with much more detail, I of Haircuts. It's the first link in the description. There's much more information there than I can fit in just one video, right? There are several modules there, so there's
much more detail. But in this video, you'll already have a wonderful starting point for those of you entering this world. So this is of haircuts. Oh, this video is also unedited, so I'll bring all the
information that's written down in my notebook. This video is focused on those who are lost; most people are lost in the world of haircuts, they don't know how to do it, and so on. So this will be a basic overview for people to
find their way. And if you know any friends who are entering this world, send this video to them. In this video, we'll talk about creation, production, rules, and... Monetization and more details in the universe
thing, let's talk about vertical cuts, which are those short cuts, which are those short cuts, real TikTok videos, real Facebook videos, which, right? I've already mentioned aware of the platforms where we can post these videos. There are
also horizontal cuts, which are those long YouTube videos, but vertical ones. If you want me to talk about horizontal videos, right? The thumbnails, you can put it in the comments. If there are enough people,
enough likes, I'll bring that Pro version for horizontal cuts. Okay, so to create, what does it mean to create? It's about really having the idea content, producing, getting your hands dirty, editing, and so on.
first strategy for creating a successful cut is modeling. Yes, modeling. There will be many more details; I'll be posting a card here after do a basic one here. Modeling is basically watching videos or
basically watching videos or cuts on...  TikTok on YouTube shorts and you see the clips that got the most views. It's much simpler to see something that's already done well on social media than to create something from
scratch, you know? "Oh, this video will do well, I created it in my head," it's very difficult to make it successful. Okay, let's be honest with you here. I advise those who are starting out to watch clips
watch clips that have already done well and do the modeling, which is basically producing the same clip, but you're not going to download the guy's video and post it on your social media.
You're not going to do that, okay? So what are you going to do? You're going to choose me because I've worked a lot on this, relationship clips. So what are you going to do? You're going to create your account on
I like TikTok more in terms of mining. You're going to create your relationship account, and what are you going to do? You're going to start watching going to do? You're going to start watching relationship clip videos. Oh, I don't
search in the search bar for " relationship, love, dating, dating, love, dating, relationship" and you'll start consuming, watching, liking,
TikTok will start recommending more to you. Why do I like TikTok? Because TikTok is like this: watch one video and that's it, it's already recommending everything 'll start watching, and this also serves to warm up your account. It's very
going to create your account and immediately start posting videos there. Don't do that. Create an 'm creating my TikTok account because I'm creating my TikTok account to watch videos." So I'll watch videos, I'll like them, and then
first thing you're going to do is warm up your account by watching videos in you'll watch dating videos; if it's dating, spirituality, you'll watch dating, current affairs. Okay, so what are you going to do while you're
like? I advise you to create a channel.  Okay, so, cut some content that you like to watch. I think it's better—no, it's not a rule, but I think it's more inclined to watch. And the good thing is that you learn things too, right? Okay,
start watching, you won't just be watching, liking, and commenting; you 'll be storing information. What would storing information mean? You'll see the videos that have the most likes, the most comments, the most engagement, the most
views, and you'll store the information from that video. On the provide a spreadsheet with all the necessary information for you to create a very well-made model. But I'll give you some quick tips here.
like to do it in a spreadsheet, but you can do it anywhere else— watched the TikTok video; it has 7 million views. You'll click 'll put it in your spreadsheet. Another thing, you'll put the result: how many
views it had, or how many likes it had, or how many comments it had, so you views." So if I do...  A video similar to that, modeling something similar, will hit 10 million views. Sometimes it can hit much more than 10 million, or
less, but that's okay. It's a video that has already been tested and evaluated by users, and the users liked it. It generated a lot of engagement. to add observations like, "Oh, it's a clip, it's a narrated video, you
understand?" What are the observations? What is the content? What is the origin? If it's a clip, guest appearing there? Is it from this podcast, or is it from Pratc, which is my podcast? Oh, the guest is Marabo, so it's Pratc with Marabo. Then you go to
link, and put it in your spreadsheet to know where the content came from. Okay? Because later you're going to redo the clip. You're not going to download the clip that the person made and post it on your social network. You're not going to do that,
forget that. You're going to find that moment in the podcast that has that clip, and you're going to make your own clip. Okay, I'm not going to cut is very complex. I have several classes at the University of Cuts
that teach you the very basics, like how to open CapCut, open Premiere, and do the cut. So I'm just going to give you the basics here so you understand how to create a good account on social media. Okay, so after
you create your vertical cut, which is basically, let's recap, the modeling, you're going to watch videos in your niche of cuts and you're going to store the information from them. Okay,
of the cuts, which is basically doing reverse engineering. How did this guy make this video? So you'll see, he used this caption, he used this music, he cut this moment here from the
video, he started the video at this moment here, and the first 3 seconds of this video start with this phrase. So I'll start with this phrase. So you're going to start to understand how the guy produced this content, so where did
they get the cut from, right? The first 3 seconds of the cut, which are the first phases, the first phrases, are what really grab and hook the viewer.  The person there, if the video has 10 million views, the
crucial to getting those views. And what headline did they put? Like, in the case of the headline, that thing that appears on the person's forehead, and basically know what the content is about, it's like a summary or the title of the video,
how the person put the headline there, which editor, right? Well, I'm not going to teach you how to edit, but it's very easy to learn how to do it. You can go to YouTube itself and not download and repost the video, don't do
that. Production is really about producing the content. You got the idea, going to take this video and repost it on your account, it won't work, forget it, account, it won't work, forget it, forget it, your video will flop. And I
advise you to use Capcut. Capcut, for me, is the best platform out cell phone for free, you can use it on your computer too. I advise you to pay for Capcut. There's a link here in the description too, you can
register through this link, you get, I think, seven days of pro, right?  The paid version, which is very good, has automatic subtitles, text-to-speech conversion like Eleven Labs, where you put the text in and a voice comes out, and it
has effects, filters, and a lot of other things that are really top-notch. So don't have an account, create one and you'll get a few days of
paid capcuts, but for free. Okay, okay, now we have the creation of our we're going to put the information. We've already done the reverse engineering too. And then comes need to create our accounts, of course you've already created one to model. So
you'll be able to create your account on TikTok, YouTube, Quai Kawaii, Facebook, and post on TikTok you can post on all these other social networks. Oh, the
on TikTok, does that mean it will get 10 million views on the other social networks? It's more likely that it will get 10 million views on TikTok. Yes, and you can do this same scheme of...
Content modeling on other social media platforms is also fine, there's no problem with that. Like I said, just because something worked well on TikTok doesn't mean it will work well on other social media platforms. Understand that. After that, what are you going to do?
You're going to post the content, right? After you warm up your account, edit your video, and ready, you're going to post it. What I advise is not to start posting from the
computer, especially on TikTok. On TikTok, you'll download your video to your phone and post it directly from your phone. This is if you're a regular user, you understand? TikTok has to understand that you're a normal user,
You're not a robot. They have aggressive policies against bots, against those who use bots. So if you act like a bot, they'll catch you. I Your video just won't get any views. So I advise you to
start posting on your phone on all social media platforms. Then you can go to the you post from the computer is Quai; you can post from there.
you can post from there. monetization, how do people make money with clips? The most popular platforms, the ones people search for nowadays, are platform monetization. TikTok pays, Facebook pays,
are platform monetization. TikTok pays, Facebook pays, YouTube pays, even Facebook is paying now, only Instagram isn't paying, right? but it's the same thing. Facebook and Instagram are the same, except you create a
page on Facebook and monetize it there. And it's the worst platform for monetization, the one that pays the least. The best paying platforms are TikTok, then Facebook, then YouTube. Okay. And another thing that's very interesting for making
money is also with your clip account. Oh wait, going back to because we work with reused content. At the clip university, I teach you how to do it in a way that actually monetizes. It's an
monetize, and it's already tested, already in-depth, and already running.  Another way to monetize is through selling products as an affiliate. So, let's give a real example: if you're a student at the
University of Cuts, you can become an affiliate for the info- So, you have a cuts account and can put your affiliate link on your TikTok. If someone buys the University
a commission. So, those are the two ways: you can monetize through platforms, which is a bit more difficult, or you can sell products You can affiliate with any product, but if you have a
cuts account, what makes the most sense is selling a course that teaches how to cut. Because you're teaching people how to make money with something within the University, there are also more than six ways to monetize. I'll mention
several ways to monetize there; it does n't fit here because it's really there. And you is...  Regarding the rules, I've already recorded a video about the rules, I'll leave said, this video here is a basic explanation for you to start with. There's
a video I recorded that has all the information here, look, it's about the process information here, look, it's about the process if you make cuts, so okay, here are the rules: don't make suggestive cuts. Oops, let me see if it's recording, don't make
suggestive cuts, cuts that harm the image of other people, cuts that are totally out of context, that really ruin people's image. Don't do that, it's very easy, you can be
sued, you can lose your account, you can get a strike. Don't make cuts of prohibited content like paid courses, like you're not going to make cuts of a like the university of cuts, you're not going to make cuts of a paid course because it's paid, you
enter, television programs too, like, I don't know, football games, you're not going to make cuts of football games and post them, it's going to be bad because it's protected by copyright, okay? Do n't mess with what's quiet because
big account, and if you're dealing with controversial topics, you'll want to fight with people, because it happens. So don't pick fights with anyone, don't attack anyone with your edits. And if someone asks you to remove an edit, say, "I made a edit of
Mari Vabo," and Mari Vabo comes to you and says, "Take that edit off, take it off!" you could lose your account, you could lose a lot of things. You're using lose a lot of things. You're using other people's images, okay? And make
people who like it when you make edits, like [unclear] likes it, or [unclear] who encourage that kind of action. And a very valuable tip here is to look at your
posting edits of Paulo Mzi, then that means you can post edits of Paulo Mzi. Simple as that. So you're going to analyze your competitors and see there are many people posting, then it's because you can post edits. Okay, this
was a very basic one, a very basic one to be honest. For those who are lost in the world of edits, I believe this has already opened the door.  Regarding people's minds, I was content modeling. Mining is basically, let's say someone
hired me to edit their podcast. There's no way to do modeling; the else's content, like providing a service, is by knowing how to mine. So and extract the best moments, and I teach that in the
is good for those who want to create an editing channel, want to monetize with TikTok, by editing other people's content, focused on platform monetization and affiliate marketing. If you want to focus on selling services, which is
one of the ways that has put the most money in my pocket with editing, much you to do CTE in a professional way, which I teach you how to do in the you enjoyed this video. You can leave video suggestions in the
comments; I'll bring much more information for you here. Let's qualify you to be professionals in the market. Okay, so professionals in the market. Okay, so see you in the next video. Bye!
