# How to Make More Money with Less Views

> Source: [How to Make More Money with Less Views](https://youtube.com/watch?v=pplCQPDVj1U)

## Summary

The video discusses why YouTube creators struggle to convert views into income, identifying three key problems: lack of trust, absence of a clear business plan, and mismatched audience intent. It provides actionable strategies to build trust and optimize monetization.

### Key Points

- **Three Core Problems** [00:41] — The three main issues preventing creators from monetizing views are traffic without trust, lack of a business plan, and audience intent mismatch.
- **Seven Ways to Build Trust** [02:33] — Research-backed methods include social proof, authority, consistency, transparency, relatability, competence & warmth, and low risk offers.
- **Combining Social Proof and Authority** [07:58] — Using both social proof (testimonials, reviews) and authority (credentials, experience) increases trust and conversion likelihood.
- **Consistency Builds Compound Trust** [09:05] — Regular publishing creates familiarity and trust over time, making viewers more likely to purchase through affiliate links.
- **Transparency and Honesty** [11:18] — Being real, admitting faults, and sharing failures builds trust and avoids overpolished claims.
- **Relatability and Competence** [13:57] — Using insider language and proving you can solve problems (competence) plus showing you care (warmth) increases trust.
- **Low Risk Offers** [15:42] — Providing free value, guarantees, and easy returns reduces friction and encourages conversions.
- **Lack of Business Plan** [16:49] — Many creators rely solely on ad revenue; a clear plan for turning effort into money on purpose is essential.
- **Audience Intent Mismatch** [22:41] — Getting views from the wrong audience leads to low conversions; viral views don't equal buying intent.
- **Case Study: Hormozi Highlights** [24:42] — Alex Hormozi's highlights channel gets fewer views but higher conversions than his main channel due to better audience intent.
- **Case Study: Lee's Channel** [28:11] — A channel with 12,000 subscribers makes $30,000 per year from affiliate marketing by creating high-intent content like product comparisons.
- **Content for Buyers** [29:05] — Titles starting with 'which', 'how', or 'where' indicate high purchase intent and attract ready-to-buy viewers.

### Conclusion

To turn views into income, focus on building trust through multiple strategies, establish a clear business plan beyond ad revenue, and ensure your content reaches the right audience with high purchase intent.

money, you're not alone. In a recent poll, a lot of creators in our community said that they were getting views, but we're struggling to turn that into to break down the three real problems with why views aren't converting, and
&gt;&gt; fixes it. Bottom line, zooming out, people are get views, but there's a low level of trust. And so, even if you have a low amount of views, you can make like, "Shoot, I didn't think about any of those seven ways of building trust."
have a funnel, they don't have a next step. &gt;&gt; Like, I've seen that, right? Just by optimizing this piece, things can change in your next video. And Sean, I'm pumped. Our community, as
always, spoke up loud and proud, told us what's up. Shout out to Build Impulse Jets, saying that they get 20,000 views on videos that take a month to make. I need to get to 100,000 plus views
consistently to actually make some real money with it. When you hear that, what &gt;&gt; Yeah, I think actually this episode's perfect because shout out to the struggle. For anybody listening to this, maybe you are just starting, or maybe
videos, and it could be frustrating. Maybe your videos take a long time to only get seven views. &gt;&gt; Yeah. You spend a month to make it, you get 20,000 views, but you're like, "Man,
actually believe that these three problems and the fixes are the solve. And so, the first one is traffic without trust. This could be why you're getting what does traffic mean? Well, it doesn't
just mean Los Angeles or Seattle traffic. Very bad in those locations. Traffic on the internet means views. That's why YouTube calls it traffic sources. It says browse features, your homepage is the page where your traffic
comes from, aka where your views come from. And so, traffic without trust, it means you could get views, but are people actually trusting you? So, I think what can happen is maybe somebody wants to start doing affiliate marketing
have a link in your YouTube description and if someone clicks it and purchases "Well, I'm doing affiliate marketing. I'm even getting views, but I'm getting There could be a lot of things to fix. Are you giving a clear call to action?
But one of the biggest ones, do people trust you? Like have you actually built trust you? Like have you actually built trust in that video? Are people are skeptical on the internet. Are you doing anything to build trust? Well, the
good news is, there's actually some research-backed ways to build trust online, so we can cover those before we get into the other problems. Absolutely. So, the first one here is social proof. You know, thinking about things like
testimonials, proof assets, like you know, what are the numbers that people could share? What are the results that people could bring into their videos? I actually see this as a very underutilized
you're experiencing people where I'll review videos and it's like in a their video and then they're telling me, "Oh, well, I actually did this, this, And I'm like, "Why aren't we Wow, we got to talk about this. We got to talk about
your capability more." And nothing I think demonstrates capability than you. Yeah, so you should save this because it's a checklist. These If you could include some or all of these ways
you're going to get a whole different experience in terms of honestly channel growth, brand loyalty, but also making money. So, of course, the idea that you should have, let's say, testimonials in your video, but it could be proof of any
your video, but it could be proof of any kind. So, when if you are sharing some something related to health or something related to fitness, a lot of people will do that when they're the example. And so, the most powerful video is I was X
weight and I lost 36 lb. It's an actual transformation, and they show before, they show after. You're You're a proof asset. Well, if it's not you, it could someone might be like, "Well, I don't have customers. I don't have
Personally, you know, as as an affiliate marketer, where I talk about tech, I would reference the Amazon reviews, and not just my own opinion. One of my lines was, "And don't just take my opinion for it. I've tested the product.
I think it's great. But, actually, read the reviews on Amazon, because you're pointing to the fact that it's not just my opinion, it's got 4.7 ratings, which is another frame of social proof. And actually, by the way,
Nathan, one of the reasons I said that though was actually another call to like, listen, click the link in my description, and go over to the page of this product, because you'll be able to read the reviews." Cuz I also knew who
even if they don't buy that product, I get the cookie duration for 24 hours. which most you know, if they end up on Amazon, they're like, "Well, I did need some new pajamas for my kids, and I needed to get a Switch, too." So, I'm
&gt;&gt; So, number one, social proof. Like, if you can you can include screenshots or stories or proof of whatever the action you want the individual to take, that can boost it.
them. &gt;&gt; So, the second way to build trust online for me how this is different than social proof? Like, you know, think about, "Oh, you're talking about like yourself." Like, this is actually
something that you're bringing to the table instead of referencing other people, other sites. &gt;&gt; Yeah, so social proof could again, it's that's actually other people have joined this, liked this. It's the product
reviews. It's actual testimonials of your thing, or it's proof of results. &gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; Like, authority is, "Why should I trust &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; And this could be demonstrating the
&gt;&gt; And this could be demonstrating the results that you've gotten. So, again, saying when they're like, "I'm getting views, but I'm not making money." They're depending on AdSense. We're suggesting, and we'll talk about
it later, that you do not depend on AdSense. So, at some point you're promoting something else, I would say, right? So, you're going to be promoting promoting an affiliate product. But, even if you're promoting a brand deal,
you still want to get conversions for that brand. So, your ability to articulate and build trust, you're not trying You're not hard selling anything. Um you're simply educating about the product, but like, why should I trust
you're pointing to a software, you're going to get higher sales conversions if they trust your authority. So, can you uh you know, this is a We can
think, "Well, I don't have any authority." &gt;&gt; time. How long have you been doing it? You know, listen, you maybe don't have a degree in parenting, is there such a thing? But, you've got [snorts]
8-year-old, and a 10-year-old, and you've got a lot of lessons. So, you might just be like, "Listen, as a mom of four." And so, that's like time. Now, you might have you know, as an occupational therapist,
I went through the process. So, do you have you know, are you um some kind of degree or something like that? And then, of course, if you can point to &gt;&gt; Sure. &gt;&gt; So, it could be any level of
certification. The thing to know, though, is people are wondering, why should they trust you? And the art form is how could you just weave this into the narrative of the video? Because again, if you're getting some views, and
you want people to take more action, when someone hears that you're a nutritionist, or someone hears that you spent, you know, a couple years abroad, or they just hear, you know, I read uh three new books and it was interesting
because if there's the social proof and the authority and then you're like, and supplement that I'm talking about, you can click the link in the description. &gt;&gt; Yes.
and authority and now I'm like, I am going to go buy that supplement. I was kind of on the fence. I'm watching a product review. I'm watching a listicle of something, but you've just showed me the transformation and the social proof
and built some authority. We're not even done, right? That's &gt;&gt; And I and I want to get to number three here real quickly though on authority. This is where I see imposter syndrome show up. Is right here. Who am I to talk
self-conscious even about their accolades. It just feels like I'm I'm bragadocious by like I don't I don't want to flex on people or whatever. But cited you a lot of times Sean in coaching calls being like, Sean does
this all the time. And it could just be one line. I think we we get in our head about this. All right, authority, okay, I need to have my all my credentials and literally dude, you could actually just say as a father of two.
we've ever It's like, oh man, you know what I mean? You already have more kids just I think it could be one or two lines that actually establish authority. It might be a lot easier than we think to get authority from a viewer if we if
&gt;&gt; Uh number three though here is consistency. Um and what do you mean by like actually publishing on platform? &gt;&gt; Yeah, we can we could speed up through the rest of these. Consistency is going to be just publishing regularly and this
would be the compound trust over time. There would there be no doubt about it that like if you will, my conversions, now it's our whole team, but my original story started YouTube working at a restaurant
uh during the most challenging season of my life and had a background in video and photography, so I started to talk about tech on YouTube on a channel called Think Media. That's grown into being a business where here we are now
&gt;&gt; On our second channel, we have multiple creators on the tech side, but originally, as a solo creator, I was primarily doing tutorials about tech, reviewing tech, and I was able to build a six-figure income from ranking YouTube
videos and doing affiliate marketing, and basically a six-figure income just from the Amazon Associates program talking about tech. The point is that's actually uh pretty remarkable
amounts of income just from Amazon, no matter how you slice it. Like really mastered ranking videos, lots of different affiliate programs, but Amazon itself. The power of consistency to build build trust, I would say, is not
that you're consistently building a brand. People start to trust you because they have familiarity through repetition. Maybe another way to put it, after I over explained my story, is simply that someone's more likely to
maybe just click on a a Sean Cannell Think Media video and purchase the &gt;&gt; Yeah. &gt;&gt; of the way I reviewed, the trust you the consistency of telling the truth if a product has a weakness or something, and
just building trust over time. So, that that that's it is like if you can consistently be showing up, those views matter in a different way. If If you're meet meeting somebody who's never seen you before, then it's a total stranger.
But again, even if you're getting 20,000 views like that um individual that commented on our community post mentioned earlier, if that's a die-hard created through consistency. It's never created with just one upload.
&gt;&gt; So, consistency is a way to build trust online. At number four, transparency is We've talked about this, right? Like being honest, being real, actually being open about your failures and lessons learned, sharing behind-the-scenes
thing. I think actually one of the most disarming things we can do is be real about where we're coming from. And so to actually be honest about like, I didn't do this right the first time. There's something about that that is
feels like you're real and obviously &gt;&gt; Yeah, and it could also, I mean, avoid over polished and exaggerated claims. Sometimes as you get into the creator economy, you maybe feel and you might
even if you do a brand deal, you feel a pressure from a brand to like talk just you to exaggerate. Of course, there's FTC limitations and whatnot, but real real honesty and realness goes a long way. So
you feel like, "Listen, I mean, this camera has weaknesses. It it is all of bad things." There's even like a famous thing in marketing of like an admission of fault massively exaggerates trust. Or you call
out the elephant in the room. There is no perfect product. By actually having other weaknesses. It might be the greatest camera ever, but it doesn't fit in your pocket. You know, it's it's a bigger [laughter] pro camera, but it
can't you would never take it with you. Like and and the the sensor of a a GoPro or DJI, you know, action camera not the best cameras, they're the tiny little guys, but they're perfect to, you know, travel. So it's it's like that's
maybe whether that is the the full statement of, "Listen, I did notice some downsides with this or you plan on using this for like high-level graphic editing, this might not be the computer for you. Bottom line, if you could build
a brand over time of being honest, real, acknowledging the pros and the cons, time." &gt;&gt; And this ties in perfect with relatability, right? If you can have transparency and you can be relatable,
which means you're actually speaking to a specific audience using insider language or examples that someone specific could recognize. I mean, this stuff wins me over all the time, Sean. I'll be honest. If I'm like I'm shopping
for whatever kind of stroller it is that has like the two seats because like we have a second kid now and whatever. And I hear like this dad talk about like And it By the way, this comes in a camo trim because like come on, I love camo. It
yours. You know what I mean? It's weird. It's like the smallest line, the smallest shared experience, the moment that I get to say as a viewer, "Oh, man, the same stuff. I think is absolutely powerful.
&gt;&gt; Yeah, and then number six is competence and war warmth, which is, you know, proving you can solve the problem or you're trustworthy because, you know, if if we're using the stroller analogy and you're the parents, you're the dad who's
using the stroller, one of the biggest authority things is, "Listen, we bought this thing 2 months ago. We've taken it off-road a little bit. We went on this We've ran on this." You're just prove I mean, what what does
competence with a stroller mean? We're not going to like the stroller games. But it's it's like whatever area you're talking about, someone's leaving the video, competence plus warmth, proving you can solve the problem or you've got
care about the audience. That speaks to tone and ties into relatability as well. And then also number seven is low risk. If you are offering free value up front,
which is what free YouTube content is or reduce friction to get started or even just guarantees. What's interesting about that is I similarly have said which I listeners and Think Media podcast, this can really help you. Like
I thought about all of these sales and marketing principles just as a if I'm promoting a $5 thing on Amazon. Meaning, and listen, the cool thing about Amazon is it's so convenient. You I mean, like I love it because you could
Amazon has the best price cuz I did the &gt;&gt; Yes. &gt;&gt; Um everything on Amazon cuz it gets to me like the same day or 1 day later.
&gt;&gt; And if I don't like it, I can return it. Like that would be me pitching my own product. There's like a I'm I'm removing risk. There's a money-back guarantee. handling that. Still educating the audience. Bottom line, zooming out,
people are get views, but there's a low level of trust. And so even if you have bigger money. And I think we could all agree that in our next video you might any of those seven ways of building trust." Um if I included three or four
intentionally into my script or my outline where I learned those, I can increase trust and increase income. Now, what we didn't hit was what are the ways to make money? I mean, we mentioned affiliate marketing, brand deals. This
those, but we are going to be covering those on our upcoming free YouTube growth sprint. So just a heads-up, ytsprint.com. We're doing a free 4-day event. The final day is our brand new updated
final day is our brand new updated teaching about the 20 ways to make money now. There's 20 ways to make money off platform, six ways to make money on platform. Regardless, that's going to be a super powerful session.
&gt;&gt; So if you're interested in that, that's coming up soon, uh ytsprint.com. It of uploading this episode and there might be a limited replay. So hit the link in the description, ytsprint.com. But that was the first big problem,
&gt;&gt; traffic without trust. &gt;&gt; And the second big problem is lack of a &gt;&gt; And the second big problem is lack of a clear YouTube business plan. Man, here we go, Sean. Uh before I pass to you, this is this is probably the
even actually think about, "Oh, business plan, like what even is that?" comment that we were just talking about earlier, okay, 20,000 views, man, I just think I need to get to 100. That's only seeing one path forward. I would
right? That is saying, "Okay, the business plan is YouTube Partner Program ad revenue, relying on what YouTube can pay me." It's breaking out of that mindset and thinking about, "Okay, could I have a better business plan? What
going to talk about here because this is really the the probably the biggest into serious income. &gt;&gt; Yeah. So, what even is a business plan? Well, here's a very simple definition. How am I going to turn effort into money
That's actually funny because some people accidentally have success in life or on YouTube, but they can't reproduce it. So, what is a fifth-grade definition of a business plan? How am I going to turn effort into money on purpose? So,
what is a YouTube business plan? Well, here's the question. How will my videos will attract the right people, build trust, and convert that attention into So, we're asking, "All right, how will my videos attract the right people,
build trust, and convert that attention into income?" And, you know, people can subscribe to the Think Media Podcast, you know, join the sprint. The bottom line here is that just most people lack this, and the the mistake is relying
only on ad revenue because views can go up and down, and because CPMs and RPMs can fluctuate, which is how much money YouTube even pays you for those views. don't have an offer, they don't have a funnel, or they don't have a next step,
or they don't have a really strong affiliate marketing plan, or even brand deals. And so, if their only answer is to what should people do next is like watch another video, then that's a problem. You got to ask, "What is your
business back end?" &gt;&gt; 100% and I I I can tell at this point what kind of game someone's playing on YouTube, what sort of business plan they have in place just by looking at a at a at a a upload. Right? And scrubbing
I don't even have to look at the video at this point. It's like looking at just know what I'm saying? Like that's actually the tell sign of like oh, this then it's like from that point sure there's optimization, there's things you
can do. But just by looking at a video, how are you utilizing all the spaces execute your business? &gt;&gt; And by the way, is it what you just said catch it. What are you looking for in the
description? I would say what you were looking for is you're looking for a link &gt;&gt; There we go. Yes. &gt;&gt; Because you can if you go to the video one, there's no link there. So then you're asking yourself, okay, well, even
brand's happy to pay you money, but if the brand sponsored you, there's not a clickable link to the brand's offer above the fold, like why not? And then clickable link to your own thing above the fold?
affiliate link above the fold? And if if it's none of the above, it might be buried, but you're already like why isn't it in the easiest to click place? &gt;&gt; And how that's even optimized shows, if you will, the professionalism of the
that you're listening to this, you can fix. &gt;&gt; Is by asking yourself what link should be there. And then if you also go, well, anything I'm giving a call to action to in the video.
I don't even have a link I can link to, then that's the problem to diagnose. &gt;&gt; Maybe you could think about in the video how it could add value to the listener, to the viewer.
An affiliate product. You were sitting down to share five things, maybe there could be a sixth or maybe during one of those things is something you you could give a call to action to. Remember, a business plan is how I'm
going to turn effort to into money on purpose. So there's something about sitting down and being super purposeful and intentional for your video. So. &gt;&gt; Uh what do you think about this? I
actually want to go back up to uh building pulse jets. Someone who's already getting 20,000 views on videos, right? So, we're already getting views. How do we turn that into income? I would almost want to argue and throw out
there, if you literally just did this step. Please work on building trust, for sure. But, if you literally just came up with an idea and offer a place to bring people to, whatever path you pick, but then you just talk about it in your
videos, you put the links above the fold in the description, I actually think that, right? Just by optimizing this piece, things can change in your next &gt;&gt; Right, because that story said, I need to get 100,000 views consistently to
then I guess my challenge is, do you though? &gt;&gt; Yeah, do you actually need 100,000? Would 20,000 views a video, which this person's already getting, would that actually be enough?
Maybe another question, how could that be enough? you create? Who could you partner with? What could you set up that would make 20,000 views enough?
Could maybe you were consistently getting 50,000, but it dropped to 25, it's a different way of thinking and that business back end is crucial. Not finding the alignment, finding the right offer, doing it in a way that aligns
with your values and your vibe. I know, nobody listening to this wants to be, you know, selly or pushy, but figuring out how to integrate that business back end is a huge key. &gt;&gt; 100%. And the third biggest problem here
&gt;&gt; 100%. And the third biggest problem here with turning views into income is audience intent mismatch. Sean, you and I both know it is possible to go viral, even if it's viral for you, you can have a video that over performs for the wrong
something that we don't think about enough. We jump to the virality, we jump even aware of the kinds of views we're getting? So, even if we had all this stuff in place for building trust in videos, we have calls to actions, but
we're and I have a video pop off an outlier, did I even get the right people &gt;&gt; So, this is actually one of my favorites. Audience intent mismatch is actually a silent killer. Let me give a couple different examples here. Let's
applicable to like any kind of creator. Let's talk about it for business owners and actually a new strategy that's really popping off on YouTube right now channels. Let's start with that.
Um you know, we have we know somebody that works at Alex Hormozi's company acquisition.com. If you've never heard of Alex, maybe arguably the number one kind of business education entrepreneur creator
businesses. His main channel's massive and he pulls a ton of views on his primary videos that are seem already very focused. You know, they're people that want to grow a company. In some
starting from zero, so they are beginners, but is you know, widely followed and it's clear business intent advice. Another thing to say is that I'd say I would assume the RPM of his main channel, the CPM RPM very high cuz it's
all business advice. Well, here's what's interesting. It's kind of a side quest, but a new strategy that's not applicable to everyone, but a lot of creators listening to this could pay attention. Um he has a second channel. It's called
Hormozi Highlights. And somebody that you know, we're was actually saying that Hormozi Highlights actually generates more sales and better conversions than their main channel. Now, here's what's crazy,
Nathan. Is on the main channel, Alex is getting 66,000 views, 222,000 Alex is getting 66,000 views, 222,000 views, 333,000 views, big numbers. And on the second channel, the videos are getting 200 views, 77 views, 700
&gt;&gt; Wow. &gt;&gt; No thumbnails. Like, it's a little janky over there. Like, [laughter] very but very specific higher-level, more advanced pain points of
Now, that new strategy is you can actually see a lot of creators starting new and second Um in all kinds of different environments. That's a conversation for
another day. But, you ask, "Why are they doing it?" Well, audience intent mismatch. Viral views does not mean a buying audience. And broad content does not necessarily mean a high-value audience.
So, sometimes entertainment higher views is lower conversion most of the time. can lead to higher conversion. That's a real case study. &gt;&gt; Now, the second example I'd give is back to
like affiliate marketing. Some people have will hear in my story and follow like, "Affiliate marketing is a massive opportunity to even create a good side or full-time income." Yes, still believe that. They'll say, "But, Sean, I'm even
that. They'll say, "But, Sean, I'm even getting good views on my vlog. And like, we may- maybe at best, you know, and when we're in our kitchen, we talk about how we bought a new Ninja blender. And we're
like, "And by the way, it's, you know, in the description." 99% of people &gt;&gt; But, they make they they're like, "I'm I'm vlogging and I'm trying to do clicking my links." Big problem number three is audience
intent mismatch. Why is somebody watching your vlog in the first place? Why'd they click on it? Well, if they clicked on it because you were like, you know, "Crazy update, kids first day of
&gt;&gt; And then it's like first day of school, and then they get home, and you're like, like, "Hey, we got this Ninja blender." But, like, why'd they click on the entertainment, maybe they want to follow parenting stuff, they want the intent of
was not to just stop their day and buy a Ninja Blender. Now, you get big enough and you mention a favorite thing your conversions. &gt;&gt; Yeah.
&gt;&gt; Compare that to a video that's like Ninja Blender versus, you know, the Amazon Basics Blender. What is the intent of somebody video? Well, my gosh, if they've narrowed it down
&gt;&gt; Those are the final two blenders that they're deciding between, you know. next? And they're like, I wonder if that Amazon How that Amazon one compares? And you make a good video, that person has like their credit card in hand
So, then you start asking, someone might be like, man, I I get 500,000 views a &gt;&gt; I'm kind of depending on AdSense, affiliate marketing, it's not that high. 50,000 views a month and I'm making 10k a month.
Like, you know, talking about doing affiliate marketing. Audience intent mismatch. Not all views are created equal. So, getting in front of the right views, another way to put it would be create content for buyers, not just
of our students named Lee, who I just got to hang out with on the podcast. And 12,000 subscribers. &gt;&gt; Yeah. video has like tens of thousands of views, but but his videos don't
consistently get that amount. But, he's making $30,000 a year &gt;&gt; on the side, by the way. This is his after-hour side hustle. He has a this on the side. But, his entire channel to the point of that Hermosi
strategy, the entire channel is dedicated to reviewing higher-end men's right? Like, we are like Death Star focused in. So he's got his audience dialed in, but he a a lot of his video titles start with words like which
&gt;&gt; Mhm. &gt;&gt; or how or where &gt;&gt; There we go. That's exactly it. And so it's just interesting thinking about, like you just said, what what would it look like to make content for buyers,
make content for the people who are already narrowed things down and now simply deciding between this or that. And anyway, the whole, you know, can check it out and he walks through his entire workflow for that. He the the
&gt;&gt; What I'd also guess, this is a little side quest that I'm sure would pique you're in a niche, like how cool is that? So he's in ministry, he's doing this on the side, $30,000 a year, but I bet he also is getting like an insane
&gt;&gt; Oh, he is. He gets stuff sent to him. He gets to keep and try out. channel around your passion, you better believe back when I was starting Tech on Tech Media, I was like, my dream is to like just get a free camera someday.
Like maybe someday. And I mean, even like less than I I maybe someday a company will send me like an SD card case. &gt;&gt; I I mean I love it. &gt;&gt; Maybe a free tripod. I remember when I
