He explains how to choose a target language and region, why German and the US traffic are profitable, and how to handle YouTube recommendations after monetization. ### Key Points - **Sizable earnings as an introduction** [00:02] — Twenty channels, five of which are the largest in the world, bring the team and clients over $82,000 per month. The first video on a new channel made over $23,925 in just 2 months. - **Channel registration country is irrelevant** [00:40] — A channel created in Belarus, linked to a Belarusian phone number, can still reach audience in the USA and Germany. The country of registration does not affect where content gets recommended. - **Choosing the German as the channel language** [00:54] — German is recommended because Germany has a huge domestic market (over 80 million speakers) and is an expensive GEO, guaranteeing high RPM and income. Other languages (Italian, Polish, Spanish) do not give consistent results. - **US traffic comes from strawberries of all things** [02:00] — Despite not playing with the channel language or video translation, the first successful video ended up in the US. Their team found that videos about strawberries tend to get US traffic, especially around the end of April, due to seasonality trends. - **The "7 video" rule for recommendations** [03:22] — Recommendations for culinary content typically enable after the seventh video. A channel running on dairy products also followed this pattern — recommendations surged right after the seventh publish. - **drop after monetization activation** [04:03] — After enabling monetization, the channel was dropped from recommendations (and dropped in views). August and flags the real views steadily grew to over 300,000 views per day, but the channel must then fight its way back. - **Retention requirement (more than 2 min 30 sec)** [04:44] — Videos need to hold a retention period longer than 2 minutes 30 seconds. Once in recommendations, the CTR will naturally drop as the audience up across larger demographics. - **CTR is not a simple number** [05:00] — CTR is an absolute and vector metric: 2 is bad, 5 is good, 10 is great, but zero is always bad. Most importantly, if CTR is falling while reach is growing, the video is going viral — this is normal and healthy. - **If a channel drops, don't try to revive it** [05:57] — If the channel drops to zero after 7 or 8 videos, forget about it — recommendations won't return until the 80th video (verified over multiple channels). If the first seven videos are faulty, YouTube will never recommend the channel. - **Make perfect videos for the first seven** [06:39] — The best option is to turn to professionals. Videos are similar to each other and can be re-edited, combined, and expanded into collections. - **Using Movavi for editing** [06:52] — Movavi programs (and the Movavi Unlimited bundle) are used constantly — for re-cutting videos, making covers, screen recordings, subtitles. High-quality subtitles add brand recognition. - **Top recipes aren't recipes to cook** [08:10] — Successful shows often don't follow real recipes: they add three times more gelatin and flour, disrupt cooking processes to make dishes look prettier. The content is essentially advertising — the food is not necessarily edible or tasty. - **Earnings — from $300–400 to $15,000 a month** [09:08] — People who start with just $300–400, after a couple of months, consistently reach $15,000 a month (at worst $5,000) — if they follow all the steps carefully. ### Conclusion The author's main takeaway is that the first seven videos can make or break a culinary channel, so they must be done professionally and with the right geo/choices. Even after helping the channel enter recommendations, drops after monetization can be difficult to overcome, and eventually the strategy becomes more about scaling production than cooking perfect dishes. ## Transcript twenty channels, five of which are the largest in the world. This brings us and our largest in the world. This brings us and our clients over $82,000 per month. In this video, we'll figure out how to cook and make money at the same time. My name is Vlad Kazyra. I am a YouTube producer of this more than 150 popular YouTube channels. Channel Leker Hintak. On April 1st we uploaded our first video here. And at the moment, the channel has already generated $23,925,925 in just 2 months. How can I create a YouTube channel correctly so that, like here, the audience is only from the USA, yes, 28.7%, and Germany is in second place. How to get to the high Geo? How to avoid getting caught in a shadow bank? How to avoid cheap Russian-language or Indian traffic? In fact, the country of registration of the channel is not very important to you. anywhere. This YouTube channel was created in Belarus and is linked to a Belarusian phone number. And the country where the channel is created has nothing to do with where the content from this channel will be recommended . Regarding the language, oddly enough , you need to choose German. More on that a little later. Regarding Asense, to enable monetization, you need to travel outside of Belarus and Russia, to the nearest CIS countries, open a bank account there, connect to one of the affiliate networks, of which there are, in principle, a great many now. The channel's language greatly influences promotion, and we always choose German. Not just us. Why German at all? This is how it is done on culinary YouTube. In fact, everything is extremely simple. Germany has a very large linguistic group, more than 80 million people. That is, the domestic market of this country is quite broad. At the same time, this is an expensive geo. There is not a single similar , then, unfortunately, there are very cheap geos like India, Pakistan, the Philippines and other countries. And Germany is the only country that guarantees us access to Geo with a high RPM. Accordingly, your income will be higher. But how did we end up in America? In fact, there is no special system for this. We didn't translate the videos in any special way; we didn't play with the channel's language. It's just that the very first video, which did well on our channel, ended up in the US largely because of the strawberries. For some reason, all the videos we make about strawberries end up in the USA. There are simply a number of observations and insights, of which my team has a great many, and you too can add one to the piggy bank. If you pick strawberries around the end of April, you'll definitely end up in the USA. Well, we have a whole calendar compiled of seasonality and which countries receive what. What dishes should definitely not be filmed because they will be targeted by cheap traffic. And what ingredients should be taken into the dish, because it will end up on expensive Geo. This is our knowledge with 7 million views. This brought us $25,000. So here's an insight for you to keep in mind. Save up your own or just come to someone who has already saved up enough of them. In addition to German, we sometimes test Italian. Polish, Spanish. However, this does not give the same result, the same reliable result, as in German. But you understand the parameters for choosing a language: there must be a large domestic market and Geo itself must be expensive. If you're suddenly worried that your videos will never get featured, well, because how could that be? Well, you download it, but it doesn’t go anywhere at all. Why will they watch me? I have zero subscribers. Together with my good friend Sasha Arabeyko, with whom we create the channel Giznshnel, which even outside of dessert season brings in more than $14,000 a month, we created another channel that is related to dairy products, cheeses, and everything else. And there is a general rule that recommendations in culinary content are included exactly from the seventh video. I don't know how to explain it, but rest assured that after seven videos you'll be in the recommendations. But don't rush to rejoice. This is the picture we saw on our channel. Two roller skates. Here we published the seventh one. And you see, recommendations started coming in right away. After we connected monetization, our channel dropped a little and then went up again . And the number of views on it now reaches more than 300,000 views per day. reaches more than 300,000 views per day. Let me remind you that the channel is one and a half months old. Most likely , unfortunately, you will not be able to achieve such results right away. Simply because your channel will lose traffic after receiving monetization, YouTube will remove it from its recommendations. Why does this happen? Due to low Stear and low retention. To do a proper hold, you need to use a special shooting technique, which is our exclusive production can also obtain. But, in the face of uncertainty, just remember that videos must have a retention period of more than 2 minutes 30 seconds. There are no exact parameters for retention. Once you get into recommendations, your CTR will drop. If, largest videos from the Gizuntushnel channel, which has already garnered 33 million views, and look at it on CTR, we will see only 2%, because there are 674,200,000 views. But if you see CTR2 in the first 24 hours, it will be a bad CTR. In short, CTR is not a scalar value, but an absolute one. Two is bad, five is good, 10 is great, but zero zero is always bad. And it’s vector, meaning it has several dimensions and a lot of additional parameters that help you tell whether your CTR is good or bad . And the most important thing is volume. The most important thing is that if your CTR is falling and your reach is growing, then your video is going viral and there is nothing to worry about. Even if means it is not that high. Yes, if you have a seven on the first day and recommendations don't come in, then everyone most likely has a 9, 10, or 11. If you have a CR of 2-3, you're either already making popular videos, or you're unlikely to ever make popular videos with this content approach. It needs to be changed urgently. So don't take these numbers as the absolute truth. And if you find yourself in a situation where, after publishing seven or eight videos, your channel suddenly goes up in recommendations and then drops to zero, just forget about it. Don't try to pull this channel out, because you won't get any recommendations until after the eightieth video. Verified repeatedly. We ran dubbed and reused content from , but not a single one of our YouTube channels that went down after receiving monetization has returned to its original level. YouTube initially gives everyone the opportunity, and then makes the most of it. If you do something wrong within seven videos, your YouTube channel will never be featured in recommendations. To make the first seven videos correctly and perfectly, the best option is to turn to professionals. Moreover, such videos are very easy to create. They are similar to each other, they can be re-edited, and they can be compiled into collections. You can fix the videos that didn't work for you. thanks to the and, of course, Mavavi programs, especially the Mavavi Unlimited program package . We constantly use these programs in our work.

And one more thing you popular channels for is recipes. Very often, if you analyze the culinary market, you will most likely end up on one of our channels. So, we don’t always follow the recipes given in these videos. I'm just telling you in a friendly way so that you don't try to re-cook the same thing. To make a cool video, you don't need some super-smart recipe, you just need culinary ingenuity. We very often add three times more gelatin, flour, and all sorts of additives to make these dishes look more beautiful. And we often disrupt the production process of creating a particular dish so that it turns out beautiful. In fact, we are engaged in the creation of advertising content. And you don't have to eat this food, and it's not very tasty. So remember that the channels that are at the top today don't necessarily use these exact recipes in their dishes. And you must rely only on your culinary ingenuity. And, of course, you can also rely on the advice of professionals. And finally, how much can you earn?
