This video features an interview with Evgeny, a physical therapy instructor from Brest, Belarus, who shares his journey of building a successful YouTube channel after four months of initial failure. He discusses his transition from a medical career to content creation, his use of AI tools for scripting and voiceover, and his financial success, earning over $2,000 in a short period. The conversation highlights the importance of persistence, adapting to feedback, and leveraging AI to streamline content production.
Evgeny, a medical worker from Brest, Belarus, is introduced as a student who achieved significant YouTube success despite initial struggles. He works as a physical therapy instructor and decided to explore online income due to financial constraints in his field.
Evgeny explains his background: he is from Brest, works in rehabilitation, and sought new opportunities online. He was inspired by YouTubers like Alexandra Robeyka and was drawn to channels covering broad topics, which led him to enroll in a course.
Evgeny found editing particularly difficult initially but learned step-by-step through the course. He started with a shorts channel that gained subscribers but not views, leading him to pivot to long-form content after four months.
Evgeny decided to focus on Russian content because it was easier for him and the audience is more loyal compared to the competitive American market. He started seeing results within two weeks of consistent daily publishing.
Evgeny uses AI tools like Jamie for scripting, a cloud service for analysis, and a voiceover tool (referred to as 'egg') to generate videos. He creates 40-60 minute videos on military history, using AI to generate stories and images.
Evgeny reports earning $850 in the last month, with a peak of $129 in a single day. His income has been stable, with February bringing $1,000 and April already at $600 in half a month.
Despite four months of failure and the birth of his daughter, Evgeny persisted. He balanced helping his wife and creating videos, eventually seeing success. His first emotion upon earning $100 in a day was shaking hands and disbelief.
Evgeny plans to create new channels but lacks time. He spends about six hours a day on his current channel, which has improved with a new computer. He aims to achieve financial freedom and potentially move to America.
Evgeny believes YouTube played a role in his US visa approval, as he mentioned his channel and students during the application. He had no travel history or family ties, making approval unlikely otherwise.
Evgeny would advise himself not to give up, as he was inspired by a 13-year-old classmate who reached monetization in a month. He emphasizes the importance of persistence and learning from mentors.
Evgeny wishes future self not to give up and to prioritize health, given his medical background. The interview concludes with gratitude and encouragement for viewers to start their own journeys.
Evgeny's story demonstrates that persistence, adapting to feedback, and leveraging AI tools can lead to significant YouTube success, even after initial failures. His journey from a medical worker to a content creator earning over $2,000 highlights the potential of niche content and consistent effort.

10:07[00:01] one of our last ceilings. AI is not monetized, there is no coin. It was difficult for medical workers to deal with all of this. So, you ran the channel for 4 months without any results. I didn't see anything in terms of
[00:13] . I already published 10 of your competitors there every day before monetization. bring in $3,000? It was difficult, very difficult. During my studies, my daughter was born, and I was like, "No, I'm not giving up. I'm still
[00:26] going to be a YouTube star." 1/3 of my salary, and my hands were shaking. [music] It's happens. With my first profit I bought myself a computer. last day in New York, no matter how it sounds, I’m here purely
[00:39] thanks to YouTube. Damn, it’s worth it to study, not to study, it’s not worth it. So, guys, Today Evgeny is with me. This is a student of one of our last ceilings. And today we will analyze his cool result. The most important thing is a stable
[00:51] . Let's figure out why this happens. Even taking into account that AI is not monetized, there is no coin, there are people filming everything on YouTube in Russian, in in Russian they earn very nice sums.
[01:05] Evgeniy, I give you my word, tell me about yourself in general. Where are you from, how old are you, what do you do in life? Or did you do it before YouTube, if it hasn’t yet given you the Hello. My name is Evgeniy. I am from Belarus, from the city of Brest. I work there as a
[01:19] medical worker. This is a physical therapy instructor. I provide rehabilitation after any injuries. Strokes. Of course, in my field, not everything is so smooth financially. Decided to start something new. I started searching. I was thinking about finding something on the Internet
[01:33] . I saw and watched a lot. The first one I came across was Alexandra Robeyka. We have it in Brest. Yes. I watched it in the evening and in the morning. Well, the fact that Lenta has already watched YouTubers. I come across you. I was hooked by the fact that
[01:47] you shoot a lot of broad topics. If the Arab woman is only filming a cooking channel, then there are already more topics for videos and for the channel. That's probably why, even after just a couple of days, you started to learn. For two days
[02:01] I thought, I thought: “No, if something happens to me, it will happen now.” And that's all. And it turned out that your manager called me and I signed up for a certain course. prevented you from making a decision about what you were thinking about? It's worth it there, it's not worth it,
[02:14] maybe. There are doubts, of course, plus the money for training is small, but it all in full. The main thing is not to give up. Okay, we'll discuss this later. How was the learning process for you in general? What was most useful there? And
[02:29] how are you, as someone who works purely in the medical field, you work, you have your slowly start to figure it out on YouTube, piece by piece ? Tell me more about this. For me, of course, this editing was especially difficult. I probably
[02:42] studied there for another month and it was all difficult , but during the training they explained everything to us step by step, how to press what and where. And gradually I began to try more and more . And it was more important to remember where not to press what. After a while,
[02:57] the videos started to be made faster. At first, of course, I started differently. Led the [music] channel on Shorm. I told jokes for 4 months . No, I actually gained subscribers, but it did n't come through through these views. So, you ran the channel for 4 months
[03:12] quite the same result. Nothing. Views are, well, from shr audience is mature. Why do you think it didn’t work out? So ? I should have tried it in another language.
[03:26] Some [music] Germany or Spain. It seems like there has saw it on the internet from someone, tried it, and decided that he was filming for Germany and his channel crashed. Well, I had already decided to go to America to monetize more there
[03:40] , but it didn’t work out. But at the same time, I was also broadcasting advice for the elderly on a channel in America, but the content there was also much more complex. I They said that it’s better to go for Russian content now, but the easiest thing is,
[03:55] yes, I’ll add that one too. Everyone's talking about the American one, I say the same in my own words, but during training I told the guys: "Guys, let's . There are some guys here." And Evgeny listened. It's
[04:08] easier with Russian content, since you speak the language yourself. The audience is more loyal, not as picky as America's. Well, America has a lot of competition. You created a channel, and 10 of your competitors
[04:20] have already created it, if not more. So I decided to go with Russian; it wasn't all smooth sailing right away. After probably two weeks, I already saw results, that the videos started getting You've been publishing for two weeks. Tell me more about how often you published, what the
[04:34] these details: I published every day. And I started with 40 minutes of videos, and now it's much longer . With eggs, it's much easier to increase your audience, and yes, the profitability is
[04:49] Tell me about Testicles, how exactly do you use them in your content? Well, is it implement them? I take the text using Jamie. Now I have the cloud connected. I write on the channel. First, I find competitors in my niche and, based on
[05:05] their topic, I send them the competitors' channel so that it can analyze them and, based on the competitors, find new topics for me. The AI creates a story for me. Then I upload it to the egg voiceover, and it voices any length of videos. If it's not a
[05:19] secret, if not the niche itself, but the approximate channel in which you created the content, because 40-60 [music] minutes are not the shortest videos, and many may niche is this, other than war stories.
[05:32] script about military history, as I understand it, in World War II, yes, history. right? So, she's making up some kind of story out of the blue. battle, let's say, how it happened, who interacted with whom and how . You take this scenario
[05:45] does the voiceover. A third neural network generates images and glues it all together into a video sequence, edit it. Well, for now, I still add small videos at the beginning and . Anyway, that's it. And besides editing and yes.
[05:58] Clear. Good. Well, tell me, what's your income like? If you can, show me. can Russian YouTube bring in with this kind of content now? $850. That's for the exactly. That's for the last month, if you take it for the
[06:11] $3,000. From what day is that? At the end of January. March 28th. Until April 16th, February, March, April. In January, at the end, I only got there for three days . The peak was $129. Right away, the first day was absolutely amazing.
[06:28] Your channel brings you [music] dollars a month. It's still stable. Yeah, February brought in 1,000 bucks. Well, now April has been coming in at almost 600 bucks in half a month . Beautiful. What allowed you to
[06:42] not give up after four months of [music] failures , launch a new channel and steadily, ? It was very difficult. I recently had a daughter, and I had to do it myself. Congratulations. Congratulations. My
[06:55] After the studies, I came to study in April . My daughter was born in July. And I had to help my wife and somehow churn out [music] videos. But then I was still posting this shorts content, but by the end, in December, I had already decided, that's it, I have to
[07:10] It turns out, from April to December is more than half a year, and you're like, "No, I'm not giving up, I'm still going strong on YouTube ." What helped you? was hoping for it because, well, I wanted to get out of all this.
[07:23] What was your first emotion, like when you plugged in the coin and saw those 100 dollars in a day? Of course, but your hands were shaking. He [music] didn't understand what was happening and how . To just get
[07:35] month in one day. Wow. I have very similar emotions to mine. I had the same first days, they were n't that big, but then it just day was, well, something. I'm just thinking, how is that possible? I was still in school then
[07:50] , even I didn't understand, salary or not , how much it was, but for save from lunches for a very long time. For you, this is probably just a happens. What are your plans now? What are you focusing on? What
[08:04] Perhaps you somehow changed your approach to work? Maybe some new realizations have come? I want a new channel, but so far I don’t have enough time [music]. This channel, well, it also kills me a day, probably,
[08:17] more? Well, in the beginning it was, probably, six , since my computer couldn’t handle it. It was very weak and the rendering itself took a very long time. So it turns out, at first it was six
[08:31] sped it up twice. [music] With my first profit, I bought myself a looking at things on such an ancient computer. But tomorrow [music] now everything is , but I immediately took it for myself so that my mother would n’t have to take the computer. Cool. Congratulations.
[08:46] You’ve already felt some kind of influence of money, of profit, on your life. As I how does it even feel if you’ve already touched it with your hands I've already had two thousand earned [music] in my hands. Now the rest of the thousand will be this
[08:59] just keep pushing forward, creating new channels and moving towards more freedom, quitting my job and moving to America. You last day in New York now, I'm flying out tomorrow. I've been here for a
[09:15] I'm here purely thanks to YouTube, because when I applied for a visa, not even YouTube from the point of view of money, when I applied for a work on YouTube, I run these kinds of channels. I have students, like this and that and so,
[09:28] and they're like: "Okay, like we need you." They did n't tell me specifically that this is why they gave me a visa. I have no travel history. It was my first time in Europe when I no family, no children, no car in Belarus at
[09:41] always rejections. But for some reason, I got approved. So I don't rule out that YouTube has some influence on this. And that's why you, and all the guys who on, are motivated to do your job, get results, because you can't even imagine
[09:55] That's for sure. us? Or, in other words, what advice would you give yourself when you first learned about YouTube? Your first day was like,
[10:07] not to study." What one piece of advice would you give yourself? I would give myself the advice not to give up , because I always gave up because I didn't see the results, but I fed off the energy of our classmates, so to speak, my
[10:21] I saw their results. There was a boy in my class who brought his channel up to a monetization goal in a month. A guy who was 13 years old. Yes, I saw it and I I understand that even at this age it's not a death sentence. You can
[10:35] only push forward. Yes, yes, yes. And what did you like most about the training itself ? And what helped you achieve this, in your opinion? The mentor was really helpful. I asked him everything, and he explained everything clearly
[10:47] . Do [music] like this, like this, like this. He said: "Don't go into that niche, you can try." Here change the preview a little differently. I was more fed with information and [music] put everything in my mind, what to go where. As it
[11:00] turns out, the curator really decided in that case. Cool. I think we discussed everything that was necessary. Let's finish this interview with one last question. What do you wish for Evgeny in a year, say, April of '27? What do you
[11:14] current point, I would wish him not to give up, to move forward and to everyone [music] health, [laughter] because I work in medicine, No one else knows how important health is.
[11:28] Yes, because physically it is good here, but it does not add much to health. It In short, working on a computer is better. Thank you very much for coming, for responding to this interview. I think that we will motivate a lot of guys,
[11:42] recharge them, and for someone your story will become that very green light and A flag to try everything too, to start, not to give up, to achieve think I've definitely made my contribution to this .
[11:55] Thank you for the training. Everything was great. Thank you. Let's work on it.
