[00:02] First of all, you watch this viral video clip of mine. He would never be able to earn this much from his Rs 10,000 job. If I could earn from a job, I would have been able to buy this.

[00:16] In this you can see that I am making my mother count the YouTube payment and my mother became very emotional because seeing a boy from a poor family earning lakhs of rupees like this, his mother became very emotional. Because when I

[00:28] started YouTube, forget about lakhs, I had not even imagined in thousands that I would earn so much money from YouTube and when my mother saw lakhs of rupees that her son is earning lakhs of rupees every month from YouTube, then

[00:42] she got shocked, became emotional and was also happy and because of this she started crying, tears came in her eyes and this is the dream of every middle class boy from every poor family and even today you will be seeing this dream that I wish I too could

[00:58] earn money from YouTube and I too would do something for my parents and if this is your dream then do like a video and subscribe and comment below that yes this is my dream too and if you want to earn lakhs of rupees from YouTube then you have

[01:11] come to the right video. Here you will get to learn some very important things. Friends, let me tell you that when I started my YouTube career, I started from a bathroom. Here you can see that I used to

[01:24] make videos in the bathroom and I never thought that I would earn lakhs of rupees. I had not even thought that I would earn thousands of rupees. All I expected was to make a video. My channel should somehow get monetized and I should earn some 40, 40,

[01:36] 500, let alone anything. I thought it would come for Rs 10-15,000. Because I didn't think people would even look at me. Because making videos. But today you can see that

[01:50] I am sitting in a very good studio and making videos. You can see the difference. On one hand I was making a video in the bathroom and on the other hand you can see the difference now that I am making a video sitting in the studio. And on YouTube, you can see both the silver and golden play buttons

[02:03] hanging behind me. But was there anything when I started ? Yes, I had one thing, that was a passion. There was a courage, a dream that I too have to do something. Ok? So if I have your love and support,

[02:19] Ok? I left and started making videos somewhere else. Where is the best place to make a video and how to do it? On the basis of your content. And this is where you people make a big mistake. Due to which instead of becoming a successful YouTuber, you become a failure

[02:35] YouTuber. And you don't have to do the things you do to become a failure YouTuber. And you don't do what you have to do to become a successful YouTuber.

[02:47] is very important and if you also want to earn money from YouTube, you can earn not thousands but lakhs of rupees and not lakhs but crores. Do n't think about thousands at all. You should dream of earning crores because YouTube is such a store from where you

[03:03] can earn money in a very good way. But for that you will have to do one thing and that is hard work but work hard in the right way, not like donkeys, if you work hard in the right way then only it will be possible in your life and you too will be able to do something in your life.

[03:18] So if you want to earn money from YouTube , want to do something for your parents , want to do something for yourself, then you must watch this video. First of all, let me tell you friends that I did a lot of things through YouTube. Got my own house.

[03:33] make videos in the bathroom. Took it home. Built a studio. Bought a plot for myself in Lucknow. Bought the same very expensive plot. Bought a plot at a very high price. Took the bike. Bought two bikes.

[03:45] And many more dreams came true. I got my brother married. I did a lot of things only because of YouTube. And you should also know this thing. If you don't know then let me tell you that I used to work for ₹15 to ₹00

[03:58] in Gujarat. Leaving that aside, I came to YouTube. I worked hard on YouTube for one and a half to two years. Only then I became successful and since then I have been continuously earning money from YouTube. But I am going to

[04:13] tell you how I succeeded. And by learning from this, you will also find a way in a very good way. You will find the right path through which you too want to become successful then watch this video. If you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, please

[04:28] press the bell icon. So friends, I am telling my story that earlier I used to work in the private sector in Gujarat. When I was working, I used to think that I have to do something different because I am not made for this job. I was

[04:44] not interested in my job. I used to think, what will happen in 15 2000 rupees? What will I be able to do in the coming inflation? Then mine started from there. I was always obsessed with watching something or the other on YouTube. I used to keep

[04:56] making some video or the other. I am talking about 2017. When I joined the job and after that, I used to do something or the other on YouTube. This is the year 2016. After this, from 2016 to

[05:08] 2020, when the lockdown came, I created many channels and left many channels after creating them. I have worked on a channel for 15 days. I have worked on a channel for a month. Ever worked on a channel for 1 1/2 months. I have worked on a channel for 6

[05:22] months. I used to make channels in this way. I used to leave it. I used to create channels and then leave them. Like you guys do. And I used to think that I am making a video. The views are not coming. But what I used to do in this was that I used to make a video. I used to

[05:35] put it after a month. Meaning it was irregular. There was inconsistency. At that time I did not have any knowledge and due to lack of knowledge, I kept creating many channels and kept leaving them after creating many channels and I could not succeed. Then came the year 2020 when the lockdown

[05:50] came and at that time I realized the value of money because I started getting half of what I used to get and the other half was

[06:03] no money left. Then I thought that if I don't do something now then I will regret it later that friend Rahul, if I had done it at that time then it would have been a different matter. I said that instead of regretting later, it is better to give your 100% to whatever you have to do now.

[06:16] Then I started my channel, this Active Rahul YouTube channel. I changed it and replaced it with another one. But friends, I was so consistent on this channel , so consistent that I never thought whether

[06:32] people were subscribing to my channel or not. Is the watch time on my channel getting I just focused that there should be a video every day on my channel. And I became so consistent. I resigned my job. After resigning from the job, you created

[06:46] so much chaos in my house. So many people made fun of me. There was so much trouble at home. The people at home stopped talking. I had so much trouble. You are starting to bother me. Do some work and your own people start troubling you. It becomes

[07:01] very difficult even with your own family members. I left my job and started my YouTube career. I thought I should do something and come here.

[07:18] dad supported me. But it still remained in his mind. He used to ask others that it seems my son has gone mad. He is making a video. He left a good job and is now making those videos. I do n't know what will happen or not in this.

[07:30] And the person to whom he used to say this, today he comes and asks me to comes and asks me to teach him how to be a YouTuber. Make me a YouTuber too. So after this I started being consistent. Friends, let me tell you that after 3 months I

[07:44] completed 1000 subscribers and after about 9 to 10 months I completed 4000 hours of watch time on my channel. I never

[07:57] consistent on my channel and kept making the same type of videos on my channel. Sometimes I improved one thing in this that I had to be consistent and upload videos regularly every day. I never thought that my video would get 10 views today. You

[08:12] demotivated me, friend. Sometimes a video gets 50 views. For about 12 to 13 months, my videos had 40 to 50, 5, 100, 200 views. Do n't go beyond this. But I never got demotivated and I kept making videos consistently. A time

[08:29] came when two or four of my videos slowly started getting uploaded. Slowly the video started going viral and what I had not been able to complete 4000 hours of watch time on my channel for 8-9 months, it happened that within two to three days, 4000 hours of watch time was completed on my channel

[08:43] and my channel got monetized and when it got monetized, I was very happy. Still friends, even after getting monetized, I was not so happy. I thought I needed the first payment. My target was always that I had to

[08:56] take the first payment and not just the first payment. I want to get paid from YouTube every month. And this will happen only when my content is valuable. I will have face value. People will not only watch my content, they will like it, comment on it

[09:11] and ask for the next content. I always kept creating content with this focus. And the time came when the channel got monetized. After 6 months of monetization, my channel was completed and my first payment came. And when my first payment came,

[09:26] I gave it to my mother and said, look mom, my first payment is ₹8000. From then on, my courage increased further. I started working harder with more dedication. Friends, always remember one thing in this. I never chased subscribers.

[09:40] I never ran after anything else. I have always kept giving more value to my content. ran after anything else. I have always kept giving more value to my content.

[09:52] How am I speaking ? It's so good as if I'm speaking without a script. I improved this. Gradually, while improving, I got your love and support. And today I have completed 12 lakh 27 thousand subscribers on my YouTube channel

[10:06] support. And today I have completed 12 lakh 27 thousand subscribers on my YouTube channel and I have changed my lifestyle. I got name, fame and a

[10:19] lot on YouTube. How did all that become possible? If I was just chasing 1000 subscribers. If I had just chased 4000 hours, I swear I would n't be here today. Even today I keep

[10:33] running after 1000 rupees and 4000 hours. But I just went after the content because content is king. Always improve your content. Always try to improve your content. Always keep in mind that it doesn't matter if a video doesn't play. Will

[10:47] make the next video. Learn not to give up. Keep the passion burning within you. Keep yourself motivated and enthusiastic. Because you will find demotivation everywhere. But you have to find motivation within yourself. No one will come and give you motivation. Don't

[11:02] expect anything from anyone. I got a lot of taunts. Had to endure a lot of laughter. But today the same people say why do we have to do like Rahul. Do like Rahul. Nowadays there are many YouTubers who earn money from YouTube.

[11:16] Not just earning money. Live your luxurious life. How did that even become possible? If he were chasing 1000 subscribers. If he had chased 4000 hours, would he have become Uber today ? It is not possible. He improved the content. Create such content that

[11:30] people are forced to like and subscribe to you. So what did you learn from the things I told you today ? Why am I making this video for you so that you can easily earn Rs 5 lakh, Rs 6 lakh from YouTube. You will earn very easily. When your

[11:46] content starts doing well, you start getting such a good amount of money, you start earning such a good amount of money that your morale will increase further. But before that you will have to learn very continuously. And nowadays the new YouTubers do not want to learn. And if you really

[12:00] want to learn, then I have shared the experience of these five to six years of hard work at one place for you all. For that I have created a course and in the description of the video. This is not just a course. You will

[12:15] think that he is looting money. How can I become rich with ₹500 and if your life can improve by giving ₹500 or ₹600, then is that ₹500 a big deal for you? that ₹500 a big deal for you? You go to see a movie with a ticket worth ₹500.

[12:29] I just went to the water park. His ticket is worth ₹1000. There people give it easily. But when it comes to learning something good worth ₹500, they say that this person is looting. I am not robbing. If you want to take no or if you want to take non, then take non. If

[12:41] you want to learn, you will definitely learn it and the hard work I have put in and the things I have learnt, you will definitely learn it. This course is for those who want to become Uber. , those who want to learn Instagram, those who want to learn social media. I have

[12:57] made it for them. So if you really want to become a Uber, then I have given the link of this course in the description of the video. Learn and learn in such a way that you improve yourself to such an extent that you give up your dream of earning lakhs. YouTube will give you so much

[13:11] that you would not have expected. And today I earn so much from YouTube that I never even dreamt that I would earn 2 to 3 ₹ lakhs per month. What did I think? My dream was that brother, I would earn just ₹20,000 to ₹25,000 per

[13:24] month and my family would run. But today is something else. I took the risk, I learned and today I sit here and teach you. If you liked the video then like, comment, share the video, if you have not subscribed to the channel then
