[00:02] TikTok or Instagram clips that get millions of views. We're all used to how they add some Melstroy or casino ad to these clips, and how while we're watching the feed, people have millions of rubles on us. We'll talk about how to

[00:17] get into this scheme with only a phone in hand. I won't be alone, but with Dmitry. He's been in this niche for a year now, and today he'll give us answers to the most interesting questions and also talk about his path. Before

[00:32] this video begins, I'd like to recommend the Vets folder if you're an editor, of course. If not, you can safely skip to this timecode. And if you are an editor, you'll definitely be interested in the folder, which contains a huge number of transitions,

[00:45] plugins, fans of editing courses, and a leaked database of paid courses. And most importantly, a channel with customers, in which we publish 50 vacancies every day. If you're interested, go to the folder's public Telegram channel and check out

[00:58] the details. Well, before we listen to the dialogue with Dmitry, I definitely need to show you how it all works. The essence here is quite simple. You create a compilation. Well, not one, but let's say 10 of these compilations. You gradually get hits.

[01:10] You gain your first views. As soon as you gain advertiser finds you. You make a deal with him. And after that, you insert his ad into your video and then get money for your videos gaining views. Is everything

[01:26] that simple now? We'll figure it out. How much do you earn now? I've already reached an income of 100,000 rubles. I ran the channel and worked, and in short, while working, I worked, and in short, while working, I just fell asleep on the

[01:51] better. Dima. Do you have a nickname? How is So, what do you do? How old are you? Look, I'm 24 years old. I'm currently working

[02:04] specifically only on the Internet, promoting my projects. Well, I do promoting my projects. Well, I do You don't cut for someone else, but for yourself. So you post TikTok, that's a popular scheme.

[02:18] Yes, yes, but I'm looking for a niche for myself and then I start working on it. I negotiate with advertisers and that's it. I work for them, that is, they pay me directly for promoting their brand, that is, your income doesn't come from monetization, but

[02:30] from the fact that brands order advertising from you. And you make them cuts on this topic. Yes, yes, yes. Well, that is, I make a meter, for example, one video, I put a views. They pay, that is, there is a fixed price for the number of

[02:44] views and the payment is made several times a month. And by the way, I saw a vacancy like this recently. I was also offered it. And how much do you earn per month on this? you earn per month on this? Well, now, how much? I've been doing this for a year and a half

[02:56] stable income of $1,000. But that's all. That is, you work for the Western market, like me. No, this is the Russian market. Russia, CIS countries, Russian-speaking audience, and on phone right Yes, until

[03:10] I worked with all this, I worked only on the XS, that is, the XS is dead, you can then insert a photo, I'll send it Well, it's in your hands on the avatar, just yes, yes, this very dead one 64 GB of memory bought there with the

[03:25] last money, roughly speaking, uh, I learned on it, I achieved everything on it, roughly speaking, and until recently everything was done only on it, all projects were carried out, everything was stored, this and the program is What program do you

[03:38] use, Capcut, only Capcut, I got acquainted with it So I continue to work with it constantly And how long have you been working in this niche Well, here are the cuts since the middle of last year, then I still combined it with a regular job then Yes, I

[03:52] combined it with a regular job then Yes, I gradually endured it And what was your job? I worked as a waiter for 5 years before that, a feint, say And now where are you editing somewhere, have you switched to another program or a

[04:05] computer Yes, I bought myself a computer, everything is already specifically for these purposes because, well, on an iPhone with 64 memory GB doesn't give a damn, nothing there, the same switched to the computer, also downloaded the Kapkut PIL pro version and everything works, I'm

[04:19] completely satisfied with everything. Well, Kakat is developing very well now. I think it's a going to get into something like that, like those complicated ones in Fix effects, this is a really good choice. You said that they recently added editing for two. Yes, there is such a feature now. Yes, there

[04:35] any partner with whom I can try all this. Well, I might even need to record a video separately, try Pomors for a very long time because that's how it all started, that they

[04:49] mandatory trial subtitles and all that. That's what I think. Let me have the pay anything. Well, you see, Yes, I would maybe download some kind of hack for Windows, but somehow it didn't come to that. Maybe when they turn off my

[05:04] issue. But for now, I'm completely. Well, that's how we work, but look, your point A. And here When did you start editing? And how much have you achieved now? Look, this was the middle of last year. I was

[05:20] just scrolling through my feed, watching one video, two videos, a video with a banner from advertisers. I looked and thought, well, these are the ones that are casinos, that's it, yes, one of them, well, like, one, I understood from the advertiser's pack. Yes, a casino. I'm sitting there thinking, well,

[05:36] since so many of these videos appear with a banner, it means that someone is definitely making a profit from this. I started delving into this process and immediately delving into this process and immediately created a

[05:51] first video is out. Now the views will come, now the money will come, everything will be cool, great, but in the end, Channel One banned me, the second, the third, the fourth, and somewhere around the fifth, I probably

[06:04] started working normally, at least they didn't block me. Somewhere closer to September, I got my subscribers on the channel, the advertiser himself contacted me. He found me, wrote, offered, I started working with him, by October he closed, apparently, it didn't

[06:19] work out for him, something, everything turned me around, then I was without an advertiser, then I lost motivation, like, well, why am I doing all this into the void, as if there was some kind of exhaust from this, then yes, it's nice, and the views also dropped for some reason, something else,

[06:33] and in general, I began to fade away. I was interested, but I was lucky, another advertiser came to me, said everything was fine, we were working cool, we drank content, we will support you. Well, for this, well, I wo n't tell you which advertiser it is,

[06:45] for this I am incredibly grateful to him. I celebrated the New Year in January, began to actively cooperate with him, and here we are to this day, hand in hand. But for example, if it's not a secret, what is your payment? You say that

[06:59] for additional views and you have some kind of additional profit, what can you call it? Well, look, I have exclusive conditions with this advertiser with whom I have been working for a year, well, this advertiser with whom I have been working for a year, well,

[07:12] tell you, but it's like $1,000 a month. But the generally accepted month. But the generally accepted rate is 5 Russian rubles per 1,000 views, there's seven. And if the indicator results are good, they can

[07:25] put 10. That's accordingly for a million views. Well, you made a video, for example, it flew in there, well, get a million views. Well, it's not that hard. That's consider $100, if, for example, every day. Well, make one

[07:39] high-quality video a month, get 30 million views, then that's already good money, you can even do it from a phone. Yes, that's good, but that it's very easy to get a million views. Here's how to get a million views

[07:53] videos don't fly to millions, so how can I make my video fly to a million? Does Shores or Reals put up a feed? He sees videos in the first 3 seconds, he begins to understand whether he will watch it or not, and at that moment, well, in the first 3

[08:06] seconds, it's very important to keep him. Well, roughly speaking, you give him some kind of hook, for example, if you do this every One day everything will be bad, for example, or the Elite of some Masons will steal all your money. Look, why does

[08:19] he throw this hook, byte it, like a person loses consciousness for some analogy with the news, there are no pauses, just the announcer dumps information and everything does not stop, accordingly, when a person watches it,

[08:34] he is in some kind of prostration and he has no thought to switch, how is this, well, explain, but in general, the essence is clear in the first 3 seconds, the main thing is to hold him. And then just maintain. Well, and maybe create some kind of emotional swing there.

[08:47] And what hooks do you use? For example, Well, look at one of the profiles, it is specifically for winning in the casino itself. That is, I look, examine a certain number of streams there. And I make a hook out of this. Nare, for example, a person

[09:01] scrolls through the feed, sees my video, and then the Streamer immediately starts screaming. Well, to give out some kind of harsh emotion, this channel is exactly what it is aimed at. gambling addicts who Well, who need this emotion like Wow, Wow, you look at

[09:14] how much money, and they, accordingly, are clinging to this now I will create Well, another network of channels is already being created, there is about history, there will already be a hook about these same Masons, there is like, look, what actions will the Elite carry out together with

[09:29] sentence, in a few words, so that a person immediately voiced this thought to him, he is like Wow, and what will they do and that's it, I stayed Watch further Do you recommend doing anything at all In this niche How do you make cuts, try to make money on this

[09:43] and how to get to this, where to start, like Where to get your start to start making money, how do you look, where to start, anyway, everyone watches the TikTok shorts feed I would start, for example, in a niche they like Well, that is,

[09:57] I look there, for example, some excerpts from stand-up Yes, I really like it, I will take it all, open the capcut, download the capcut, look for some copy the video that you liked, look for the same

[10:10] you start editing a piece of material in your own way, adding some gimmicks. Yes, it's clear that the first time it will be, well, not very crude, crooked, ugly, you might time, for example, everything will turn out more or less. Look, Belle, and at

[10:24] something to YouTube. Well, in general, the first video also needs to be uploaded to all platforms at once, to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Something will definitely take off, something will definitely give you motivation to continue doing all this. And in the beginning, you

[10:37] make cuts, cuts, cuts, without advertising banners. On Stark, I only did enthusiasm, yes, that is, you just do it. Here, with a hook, a moment so gaining views, and advertisers themselves find you. That's how I understood it. No, that is, at the

[10:54] and there were no hooks there, just some bare material. I even have awkward pauses in There were videos. That is, I thought it was normal now. normal, but still, in any case, even with crooked ones. Well, I can give you a couple of videos later, you'll watch, maybe you'll insert them. Yes,

[11:36] emission will be transferred to private hands. A new monetary system. Here are crooked, crooked videos, that is, there were no hooks, and in any case, they gained. Well, not some cosmic numbers, but there 1,000 views, that was already Wow. With 1,000 views, as a

[11:50] rule, 1-2 people subscribe to you, and this already gives motivation, and you begin to develop further in this topic. That's how I got the First A thousand subscribers, and then the conditions were such that from 1,000 subscribers, people begin to

[12:03] begin to contact you somehow, offering conditions, that is, this is the whole story. And you have never looked for advertisers and are not going to look, that is, everyone is looking for you themselves. No, I was looking too, that's when they turned me down, roughly speaking. Well,

[12:17] they said that we are closing, unfortunately, we are no longer working, they fired me, everything, I began to actively look for new advertisers, but I was dismoralized by the fact that, roughly speaking, I had just found an advertiser and well, after a few

[12:29] months, I lost it. Well, that is, read, I did not taste this sweetness of working on the Internet, this assholeism poured out on me by that moment, views began to drop sharply, I did not know what it was connected with, I searched and searched, but I was already looking like a sluggish person, that

[12:43] is, Well, I know that you will not take me, but for the sake of appearances, I will send you my channels. Maybe somehow you will take me, that's it. Well, I was almost on the write it down in the experience category. Well, that's it. It did n't work out, I'll try something else,

[12:58] but another advertiser found me, and somehow it was also chaotic, or did I find him, or did he find me? We still haven't figured this out. But he found me and I'm still working on it. Well, that is, you don't need to give up on this topic.

[13:10] definitely achieve success, you will definitely find your audience. Well, in general, like everywhere in any niche, so yes. Well, it seems to me that we had a wonderful conversation today. fact, there are many more interesting things that can be told, for example, even about the path. That's

[13:24] how I started, too. It's such a stressful moment from the very beginning when you start cutting videos. Well, and at the same time, you work at some job, how does it all fit together, how do work at some job, how does it all fit together, how do

[13:38] with editing, or vice versa. Well, all these interesting moments could also be told. Therefore, if the viewers are interested and want to listen, I would share such a short but very interesting issue that we had
