09:24[00:02] without showing yourself without filming a bunch of different videos is it a myth or reality? Let's figure Anya Skutina and you are on the channel is Digital, where I help business owners and earn money online. My targeting lessons are also the most accessible on YouTube according to
[00:17] subscribers. Not long ago, I released a video where I talked about how you can make money on YouTube and mentioned that we have several YouTube channels that we are currently developing for an English-speaking audience and do not
[00:30] show them yet, but we are already reaching monetization. I will not visually show what kind of channel it is because we are very careful about the audience that comes to it organically, but I want to show you the numbers that this is quite
[00:42] possible. Before we move on to the numbers, a small point on the Internet there are a lot of videos that promise. Let's say that in 5-10 days before you will have millions, you will have hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings from traffic flow.
[00:55] In fact, the authors of these videos make money on such videos themselves because the YouTube channels is exactly what YouTube channels are about, how to make money. It's offer you is to upload some videos from another
[01:11] social network to YouTube or somewhere else, but there are a couple of nuances with the fact that it is very difficult to monetize non-original content, and even if you accidentally get monetization, your channel will miraculously get promoted in a month, it is
[01:26] unlikely that this story will last very long. Therefore, we will omit all such hyped and unreliable stories. And now I will show you, as always, without embellishment, without rose-colored glasses, what you can really make money on YouTube and what to do if you
[01:40] don't even want to show your face, don't want to talk on camera, but want to lead YouTube to a foreign audience. Our channel is travel-themed, but travel- Our channel is travel-themed, but travel- themed without a voice and without showing
[01:53] yourself, something on the border between travel and relaxation, we do not have a very high cost per 1,000 views, how much we earn this channel. And it's been exactly a year since we started running it, in
[02:06] November, the year since we started the very first videos, one thing at a time. It takes a week to release, that is, to go and film, spend about half an hour on it, then an hour and a half on
[02:19] editing and posting. Well, that is, you agree that in 2-t, even 4 hours a week, to have such a result, in fact, it will be very cool. We got monetization on this channel somewhere in the summer, yes, in July of that year, if I'm not
[02:32] mistaken, monetization is obtained. If you gained 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of content viewing. And we had a difficulty with gaining subscribers because such semi-travel, relax content is
[02:45] mainly watched on TVs and they don’t subscribe, therefore, 1,000 hours first 2 months, but with subscribers it was a little more difficult. So, I took the statistics for the last 90 days so that you can really see what you can get. We have
[03:00] n’t invested a penny in advertising. This is a channel that has grown purely organically over the last 90 days. We have 110,000 views of our videos,
[03:13] 148,000 hours of viewing, and let me remind you that for monetization, only four I say we gained them very quickly and we got 344 new subscribers and earned
[03:25] 378 dollars Yes, you will say this is not a lot of money, I absolutely agree with you But if you divide it, then on average a month comes out to a little more than 100 dollars 120-130 depending on the season because we have such Southern travel content and of course
[03:41] now towards winter it declines But all sorts of fireplaces candles sorts of fireplaces candles Halloween and everything else come to the podium But I think nevertheless If you live somewhere in the CIS countries even such a conditionally passive
[03:54] income I call it conditionally passive Why Because if you do not upload videos to such channels when they have been promoted even for two or three months you will not suddenly lose income like that as if from hired work When you did
[04:08] not come to work today you did not receive money I last uploaded videos to this channel if I don’t remember in May or June and a couple of times I did some kind of live broadcast during this time, that is, more than 10 months there was a break on the channel and
[04:24] nevertheless less this summer there was a record for earnings on YouTube That is, I did not upload, but YouTube still continued to pay me because you continued to watch my videos That is why I call YouTube conditionally
[04:36] passive income Let's now see where our audience is from To debunk all your doubts and myths, if I open the statistics, we see that our top regions for views are the
[04:51] UK 26,000 views almost 27 from us from the UK 11,000 from Portugal 10,000 from Brazil Well, because we live in Portugal and this content is just about Portugal almost 88,000 Germany and 6,000 United States
[05:08] Canada and other countries this is not unfounded video here you are statistics from video here you are statistics from European countries USA Canada and Well, and a little bit of Latin America I probably want to show the price for 1,000 views
[05:23] how much we earn in each of these countries so that you understand Why is everyone so eager to start a channel for an English-speaking audience Yes, because they stupidly pay more friends Please look at the price for 1,000
[05:38] views, the average for the channel is $5.39, which is a bit for a relaxing theme. And the channel is still small and young, but we still don't give up and don't stop. Look at this: Norway, Almost $10. That is, if
[05:53] all our viewers were from Norway, we would be receiving twice as much right now. receiving twice as much right now. Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, New Zealand, USA, $7. Germany, $7. Netherlands, $7. Sweden, $7.
[06:06] Let's scroll down and find some of our Russian-speaking countries in the CIS. You see, there aren't even any, actually, none of them. Nobody got here, neither Kazakhstan, nor anyone, because, well,
[06:22] Georgia, look, no. Georgia got $3.00. Well, that is, draw your own $3.00. Well, that is, draw your own conclusions. In Georgia, or $9.00 there, in Australia, in Denmark, or $7.00, almost twice as much in the USA.
[06:37] So, my friends, all this can really be done. You can develop it with the help of cool and simple actions that you take by investing your time in the future, conditionally passive income. Now, someone will fly in, like,
[06:54] Blah blah blah and monetization doesn't work in Russia what are you talking about here, these friends, firstly, I don't live in Russia, but nevertheless, I take advice on YouTube from people who live there and make a great living on YouTube.
[07:09] All you need to do is go to Google, google Google, google how to receive payments from YouTube and, in fact, find a solution, and registering AdSense is not
[07:21] prohibited here, anyone can just have an address. You need to be outside of Russia, choose some friends or acquaintances, I don't know, look for someone through forums, your task is
[07:33] simply to send an envelope with a letter to another person's mail and he takes a photo of the PIN code for you and Voila, you have a confirmed rating from any other country. Therefore, let's not clutter the comments and a bunch of negativity. Everything is really
[07:47] the comments and a bunch of negativity. Everything is really simple. As they say, if you want to know this, I want to show you another channel of ours that we are also currently promoting on it, while there are not a thousand subscribers, we are also going to them, because there are a
[08:00] lot of 1000 hours of views there, but unfortunately, there are not very many subscribers since they watch from TV, we began to actively manage this channel not So long ago, yes, that is, we first developed that one, brought it to
[08:12] monetization, then we took on the second one, so here we have only 12,000 so here we have only 12,000 views in 90 days and about 100 subscribers, but what interests us? We are interested in the target
[08:26] interests us? We are interested in the target audience, where all these people are watching us from, and what's more, I'll even tell you under this enhanced channel. If you look at the statistics, we started. Only in September before that, we literally
[08:39] released a few videos, and if we look at the audience statistics here, we have the USA 33%, and then in decreasing order, Canada, Great Britain, but here I want to draw your attention to the fact that it doesn't match up. 12,000
[08:53] views in total from the storyboard because there is very little data here for the UBA algorithms to directly determine and produce accurate statistics. The statistics somewhere just closer to 100,000 views. This channel is purely
[09:09] 100,000 views. This channel is purely relaxation-themed, this channel is not exclusively about Portugal, but we also film it here. There is no face, no voice. Just a camera and a little of your time for filming,
[09:24] editing and Will, so friends, make money on an English-language YouTuber this year and next year, if only there was a desire and the most important thing, probably, in making money on YouTube, I will say the following: do not fall for easy and quick money, but really
[09:40] invest your time because investing time in such videos. we continue to shoot and publish these videos every day? Because we already know perfectly well how it works. We know that we record
[09:56] videos there for a certain number of months, and the algorithms will launch, and then we can simply not shoot anything for two or three months and still have passive income. We know this, we strive for this. We know people who
[10:11] generally make tens of thousands of dollars on this. We still have a long way to go to reach them, so we continue to persistently create content. Thank you for watching this video to the end. I hope I have developed a little of your myths about the ease of making money
[10:24] on American YouTube, but at the same time confirmed that it is real. Perhaps, don’t forget to subscribe and put a Like if this video was useful to you. See you soon. no this video was useful to you. See you soon. no meetings yet
