A billion views from a short video, my friend! How much do you think YouTube will pay you? Zach King, my friends, is the only person who achieved more than a billion views from his short video, which earned him more than $25,000, as he announced. But in this video, I won't
tell you how much Zach King earned. What we achieved through estragel, which we followed using short videos, is more than $1,000. And this video, honestly, will greatly benefit you in increasing views and followers. And here's how to double your earnings through
short videos. Watch this video to the end, and I promise you'll get what you want. Okay, my friends, let me explain to you the secret behind the earnings that come from YouTube, which everyone is hiding, and there are no people on YouTube who explain it to you. How
can you really double your earnings, double your views, and double your followers? Let me see, let me reveal this secret to you today. Watch, my friend, Zach's video. Okay, this one.  The video got a billion views, as we mentioned at the beginning. But there's a trick he used that gets him
But there's a trick he used that gets him many times that number, something called a related link. See this link? This is a short video. Anyone watching a short video on their phone (because more people watch on phones than
on desktops) will notice this link is right here. It's at the bottom of this video, either directly in front of you or taking you to another, longer video. Clicking here, for example, like this, will take me
to a longer video. And everyone knows, my friends, that longer videos earn many times more than short videos. This long video got 1.6 million views. You do the math. But let me show you the strategy we used.
If I go to our YouTube channel, let's go to YouTube. This video, my friend, this short video from our Arabic channel, got us 1.8 million views. This one
1.8 million views. This one short video got me more than  23,000 subscribers and 5 followers mean you can meet YouTube's requirements with just one short video. As we've seen, the earnings from short videos with Arabic content are n't usually high; this one only earned me $44.
But I managed to multiply that number many times over, exceeding the previous figure. My earnings are excellent. Here's what we did: Go to the details here and I'll explain more. Stay with me so I can explain the whole
explain more. Stay with me so I can explain the whole idea behind this method. On the right side, you have something called " Related Video." You can add any video you have on your Related Video." You can add any video you have on your channel so people can follow it. So we added
this video you're watching right now. This is a long video, and we linked it to the short video here. This long video, my friends, brought me over $20,720! long video, my friends, brought me over $20,720! Imagine, that one only brought me $44, and this one $20!
The idea, my friend, is what's known as a related link. But how do you apply this related link. But how do you apply this strategy correctly and benefit from it? Let me explain it to you.  This will change everything on your YouTube channel, specifically. Let me now,
my friends, explain the strategy we use on all our foreign and Arabic channels to achieve these things and generate profits, and for rapid growth, thanks to the benefits of short videos. This strategy, my friends, will truly make you thank me for it, God willing.
Every long video you have— 10 minutes long or more or less—means you can create
four short videos from it. Each long video can generate four short videos, each 60 seconds long or less or more. But you must create these four short videos.
My friend, you need to create something called a "related video." See the video I mentioned in the previous clip? I told you that every long video—yes, every short video—you can go to the settings of the short video and create a "related video" for the long video.
This will encourage people to watch the long video, and consequently, your profits will increase.  The profits double as soon as You know that longer videos generate more revenue than shorter ones. The reason,
my friend, is that a longer video will have many segments, let's say, that interact with the content so people can understand what's going on. For example, I could
make a short video about this one and then let people continue the explanation or the other important points of the longer video. You can do this with all kinds of content, my friend, not just the educational content you watch. These short videos, my friend, will honestly get you
more followers than a longer video. As you've noticed, we gained more than 20,000 followers from just one short video, and that number is truly excellent. We also have other short videos that have gained us even more followers. The strategy isn't over yet because I
'll teach you how to turn these longer videos into short ones. But the rest of this strategy, my longer videos into short ones. But the rest of this strategy, my friend, is to do something called sharing your content on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. So, what's the reason, Hamza?
Instagram and TikTok. So, what's the reason, Hamza? As soon as  You made a short video, my friend. From your long video, you made four, and if you make another long video, they will become eight, and so on. I publish them on the Instagram platform, I create a new page for myself, and on the TikTok platform, I
create a new page for myself. It is not important to profit from them or to get followers or anything like that. What is important to me are two very important things on YouTube, and many people neglect them, which is something called backlinks, that I bring to my channel. What does that mean?  So, once I link
my channel or put my link on Instagram or TikTok, people will go and watch the rest of the video, just like I told you before, they'll go and watch our YouTube channel. you before, they'll go and watch our YouTube channel.
take this as a piece of information regarding algorithms, they don't like people leaving TikTok for YouTube. But if you do it, YouTube will recognize that you're bringing traffic from other platforms. This will strengthen your platform, and consequently, you'll also have a
higher growth rate, meaning higher growth than you expect. So, if you were getting 100 followers, when you post on social media platforms, you'll double those
followers and views, and that's where your profits also double. Now, let's learn together how we convert long videos into short videos. The first platform we'll use is called Opus Clips, which is
probably the strangest of all.  I know it's possible that I can just add my link and it converts long videos to short ones. Sometimes this platform doesn't support Arabic content. If you're working with Arabic content, this platform doesn't support it. And excuse me, my friends, but
most of the platforms or websites I'll share with you are n't free, unfortunately. But the return on investment is honestly excellent, so I might pay for them to achieve the result I'm aiming for. This Ops Clips, excuse me, works for foreign content,
but if you want Arabic content, which I personally use, is the Captions platform. This application downloads to your phone. As soon as you take your video link, for example, if you go to the tools, there's a tool called EA Clips Generate. It tells
you to find the most engaging clips. Okay, clips from your long video with EA. It automatically selects the clips with the most engagement if you send it a 10-minute video. So, for example, as soon as
you...  For example, I mentioned things here. He takes the best four or five clips and makes a short video for you. Now all you have to do is post them on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. This strengthens your channel, boosts your earnings, and also increases your views. This
strategy, my friends, wasn't created in vain. I've been trying it for almost years, ever since the related video concept first came up. I explained it to you before on my channel, but I don't know if any of you benefited from it or implemented it because we always explain things that
we actually try and achieve results from. So, if you really want to achieve results, earn profits, and generate a side income from this, I advise you to invest in content creation on YouTube through the services we offer. We're constantly trying to make it easier
