[00:02] in the Hollywood building. >> What is the difference? It's the same $1 >> What is the difference? It's the same $1 million. The only difference

[00:16] hard so they can sound smarter and they can sell you courses. So, in this video, I'm going to tell you the truth. Like it or not, listen, I'm a college dropout. I completely broke. Fast forward to today, I've made over a million dollars on this

[00:29] channel, $296,000 on this channel, $244,000 on this channel, $21,000 on this channel, $9,000 on this channel, and I have a few more. You see, what I AI. Some of you have probably heard of it. It's called YouTube automation. Now,

[00:45] guys to say YouTube is easy, cuz it's not. [music] You know, it it takes a lot of hard work and consistency. But the truth is, as long as you're consistent, you could be posting absolute dog [ __ ] videos and still see some level of

[00:58] know, the first thing you need to understand, if you're either a going to have one, but you're not getting the results you want, [music] you need to grind. And listen, I'm not saying it's in like that [ __ ] way

[01:11] motivational speaker. I'm not saying that to like motivate you, but you actually have to grind. >> My name's Jared. That's Carlos. >> I started doing YouTube with my best friend [music] in 2015. Anything that

[01:27] you could imagine, we posted. Food reviews, vlogs, music videos, reactions, we tried it all because we were fully committed to making this work, right? And we weren't chasing fame. We weren't looking for recognition. We were after

[01:40] >> So, since September 7th of 2017, which is when we got monetized, to today, we've only made $9863. If this is something you really want to uploading [music] and uploading and eventually one of them's going to hit

[01:53] >> Yeah. You just gota you just got to keep figuring it out. We still haven't still here like majority of our [ __ ] days at like 2 3 in the morning filming. >> I'm not going to stop, bro. [music] >> Yeah, we don't plan on stopping anytime

[02:07] dream, you'll [ __ ] do whatever for >> now. Even though we had no idea what we were doing, we still grinded. We still posted every single day. We kept going because we had to. We had no other choice. Again, I'm a I'm a college

[02:21] dropout. I barely graduated high school. As stupid as that sounds, it's the this, people think that I come from money, which is not true in the slightest. You see, I lived in a trailer in the middle of the desert in a small

[02:35] can Google it. Now, my family and I lived there not because we wanted to. No [ __ ] You know, it's because we had to. My dad worked at the only dairy in the of my luck, it was in the middle of nowhere. And at this point, I was like

[02:49] 14, 15 years old. So I would see YouTubers, you know, I would I had social media. I would see what how other people lived. And I would sit alone in think, "How the [ __ ] am I going to get out of here? Nobody knows I exist." You

[03:02] know, I would sit there all night and watch David Dori videos. He was giving away $10,000 cash, giving away Teslas, and I'm like, "Fuck, that is the complete opposite of my life. That is so far from my reality." And I would just

[03:15] think, man, how how am I going to get there? How am I going to get my family obsessing with trying to figure out the YouTube algorithm. We got to go viral on getting big. Got to We got to figure out how to get bigger on other social media.

[03:29] are we going to do with ourselves? >> Either we get a l like a lucky collaboration with a big YouTuber or a viral video, which I really doubt, or >> Nowadays, there's a lot of resources online, for example, this video. But

[03:43] back then, there wasn't anything. There was nobody that wanted to help. And if they did, it was behind a ridiculous payw wall of like $5,000 for a those [ __ ] don't know what it feels like.

[03:56] >> We're just like, "Hey, >> if we ever blow up, we have to help other [music] small YouTubers blow, bro. >> Nobody wants to help you. No YouTubers for himself." And that right there is a promise that I'm standing by to this day

[04:10] with my community on school called Views for Income. And that's where I have over 90 video tutorials. I also go live every single week. I answer questions. I review channels. It's pretty much a step-by-step on how [music] I do YouTube

[04:22] or a blueprint on how I experienced YouTube and how I saw success. But even in my YouTube videos, like on this channel, I give away an insane amount of you binge watch my videos, you're going

[04:34] information that nobody talks about or they try to sell you that information. But anyways, four years later, after posting every single day with my best friend, trying to grind it out on YouTube, we failed. We ran out of time.

[04:47] So, I got a job and I started going to college for one week. But in January of in. We're going to give YouTube one last shot. But this time, we're going to create faceless videos." So, what happened was is I came up, I got my

[05:02] classes, I was ready to go. I had class like in 2 hours and then I was like, you know what? [ __ ] this. I'm dropping out. >> So, I dropped out of college after my first week. I quit my job and full sent it. Well, my name is Carlos Romero. So,

[05:16] I have 22 video ideas here. I don't seem that excited. I'm stressed and scared. Very scared about failing. I'm going to upload this in a year or 2 years, maybe three, on YouTube to create my personality brand. But I have to make

[05:30] personality brand. But I have to make money first. If I fail at this, I don't know what I'm going to do if I [ __ ] up. I don't know why I'm not excited. I'm scared. But then again, another half

[05:44] of me already knows that I'm going to absolutely [ __ ] destroy this. The first video we posted went viral. For the next 28 days of February, we made $10,000. It was insane. I was 19 years old [music] and I made my first 10K

[05:57] month, which sounds like a movie, right? It sounds all all great. But then COVID hit. Advertisers pulled out of YouTube. There was no money coming in. I still had a full team to take care of because back then AI didn't exist. So I had to

[06:10] hire uh script writers, uh editors, and all the money that I saved up to do this, including the 11K within the months started disappearing. YouTube channel is doing all right. It's made 11,000 so far. I don't think I've ever

[06:23] been so scared in my entire life. I'm so [ __ ] But you know, I got to keep grinding. got to keep putting the hours daily uploading on that channel. So, I'm trying to expand at the same time, but I can't afford all of it. So, it's like

[06:35] I'm not sure this is here for me. I'm so [ __ ] scared. future. What did you do? How did you get out of this? How did you get out of

[06:48] this, bro? So, I'm going to lay here and figure out what to do. figure out what niche to go in, what where to push, you know, cuz I got like [ __ ] $60 left.

[07:08] and and what was happening, the grind never stopped. You know, I kept going and little by little, you know, channel by channel, I got to this point. And understand. You have to grind, bro. You

[07:20] a position where you have no other choice but to succeed, in my personal opinion, I think YouTube, Faceless YouTuber or whatever, is the best place experience, I don't think YouTube is luck. You don't need subscribers. You

[07:35] need a laptop. You don't need to be creative or make art in every single one identify title patterns and thumbnail patterns from successful YouTube channels in your niche. That's it. You know, it it's like Tik Tok, it's like

[07:50] same thing because that's how people are. You got to remember that YouTube is the entertainment [music] business and entertainment has one rule. Recreate what worked. I mean, for the last 2 to 3 years, every single movie that's come

[08:02] out is a remake or a part two. You know, it's because it's the easiest way to see success. I think they just announced like the new Toy Story 7 or whatever. I The other thing that I also think is very important is that you need to avoid

[08:17] there's always going to be a niche that looks great. There's always going to be someone on Twitter or YouTube that is posting about a specific niche that, you know, seems very easy, but you have to stay on track, you know, and the rule of

[08:30] thumb that I have is to post at least 20 videos. Post 20 videos, and if it doesn't work, switch niche. In my school community, there were some members that got results within the first 20 videos, but then there's also a [ __ ] ton that

[08:43] it's going to work. But the beautiful thing is that you can retry. And even crazier, you can do it as many times as you want. You know, I started this whole YouTube thing when I was 15. I made my first 10K when I was 18, 19 years old.

[08:56] I'm 25 years old now. Even this year, I launched some channels in specific niches that it just didn't work. And that's okay. you know, we you can retry. right? It's more of [music] attempts because if you want it bad enough,

[09:11] me to the next thing, [music] which is impressions. If you're just starting off or if you've been posting and you're not getting views, don't look at views, look thing. Listen, YouTube is changing a lot and [music] it's changing every single

[09:25] Don't focus on views, focus on impressions. And my rule is if you post 20 videos and you don't get more than a 100,000 impressions, you're going to stop, let that email age, start another email or use another one of your emails,

[09:40] and then try again. And you repeat that process 20 videos at a time. Now, if you post 15 videos, and the most impressions you get in in a single video is like a different email, right? You don't have to do all 20. But that's kind of the

[09:54] YouTube. They think their content is YouTube isn't pushing it out to viewers. The next thing, if you're going to do faceless content like me, the niches that I found the easiest were things

[10:06] related to news. Either celebrity news, news about Hollywood, news about sports, those niches that I share on this channel. We do news for a reason. It's much better than evergreen content, which is making like top 10s. Those

[10:21] kind of one of the things people watch in the middle of the night. But if you newsrelated, you're getting more into search. You're going to get a bet a it's also time-sensitive. The next [music] thing is take what you hear from

[10:35] others with a grain of salt. There is a lot of people in Discord servers. give this advice that is just copy-pasted. For example, there's a lot of big YouTube coaches here on YouTube that I know that they straight up steal

[10:49] my my content. So, if your views are low or you're scared of demonetization, listen up because I'm going to tell you the eight biggest changes of the YouTube. Starting with change number one, Gemini. And it even understands the

[11:01] >> It even peaks up on your tone. >> If your video is supposed to be sad, it understands it. If your video is meant to be funny, it knows. understands it. >> If you're being sarcastic in your video,

[11:15] >> So, that's pretty scary [ __ ] within itself. And honestly, this one scared me >> Now, when YouTube reviews your channel, which they will, when YouTube reviews your channel, and they will. I mean, it's very obvious that they do it. Some

[11:30] the video. But there's also a lot of people that give advice that does not apply to you. For example, YouTube shorts. The advice that a YouTube coach that focuses on shorts is going to [music] give you is probably completely

[11:43] you. It's because it's a different format. It's different algorithms. Personally, I hate YouTube shorts. I think any 15-year-old with a cell phone popular because it's easy to sell courses with. [music] You know, you can

[11:56] get any 50year-old man to pay you $1,000 to get a 100,000 views on a YouTube short and they don't know any better, right? They think a 100,000 views on a is a lot of views. But it's very easy to do and moneywise is just not worth it in

[12:10] my opinion. So, pick and choose what type of advice you want to listen to. And the last thing, don't get excited by all of these AI softwares you see. The majority of them are absolute [ __ ] And I know that because I created my own and

[12:22] They're literally not doing anything. And the majority of them are pointless. For example, Sora, you know, everyone was doing like the Stormtrooper vlogs and the Bigfoot vlogs and it was really cool for the first week and all of these

[12:35] future. This is how you can make $10,000 a month." Nobody gives a [ __ ] now. You wrong, but like everything else, people get bored of it. And that's what I said the second I saw it. I said, "Oh my god, people are going to run with this." Just

[12:50] remember, these AI softwares are tools. They're not going to make the video for you. Just because you use a specific AI tool doesn't mean that your video is going to go viral. Keep that in mind for every single AI software that's promoted

[13:02] to you. But yeah, it's it's 2:30 a.m. [laughter] That's all I could think of out how I do YouTube, you can go ahead and click the link in my description or to my school community. Check it out if you want. If you're still very early in

[13:15] that crazy, go ahead and watch my YouTube videos. Go and watch other people's YouTube videos and [music] see if this is for you. Just know that you live. It doesn't matter your current [music] situation. There's always a way

[13:27] not saying that on some motivational [ __ ] bro. That's just my experience. you want. You just got to be annoying about it. You know, as you guys saw in those clips, I asked myself, "How am I going to get out of this?" Carlos from

[13:41] the future, what did you do? If I could respond now, it would be same [ __ ] you were doing, bro. Even though [ __ ] looks bad, there's nothing [music] in this repetition. As long as you do that, everything is eventually going to to

[13:54] >> Yeah. If you're starting a YouTube channel, Godspeed. [music] Best luck to you. And hopefully when we update you next year, we'll be doing much bigger. >> You already know what it is. >> The grind never stops.

[14:07] >> But money, bro. The grind never stops, MAN. THE GRIND NEVER STOPS, MAN. IT >> CAN I HELP YOU? >> HI, this is Carlos. >> Yeah. So, I'm I'm calling to put in my uh two week notice.

[14:20] >> Yeah. >> A that sucks. page got taken down. We have no followers. Our YouTube has been going down a lot because we haven't been posting. and our subscriber count also

[14:33] is doing worse than it was 5 months ago. We have no editor and we're not even >> We've achieved the requirements of watch time and views, no subscribers. a job. You're running out of time." And

[14:48] need this [ __ ] to work. >> I just turned 18." parents pressure me a lot about college. I don't know. I just like doing YouTube it's a passion. I just thought about it right now in the car and I'm like, you

[15:01] go for YouTube. I want to say I don't give a [ __ ] what my parents say. I'mma give a [ __ ] what my parents say. I'mma go for it. If I fail, I failed trying. But if I make it, then I guess I'll be I'll be good.

[15:13] >> Can you please explain to the uh Instagram what you are doing? >> You not yet. I'll explain when I'm done. Doesn't make sense right now. I >> Uhhuh. >> But you must trust the process.

[15:27] >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> All right. We'll come back to you in a couple hours. >> What I'm saying is there's free subs out there, right? We need them. I'm really

[15:39] house. With the new YouTube partnership, we've achieved the requirements of watch time and views. I want to know subscribers.
