How to Succeed on YouTube Fast! "Don't Start on YouTube at All"

[00:03] YouTube. I was nervous and afraid it wouldn't be successful because, like 90% of people who start a YouTube channel and ultimately fail, I didn't want to start. That moment was so important to me, so I wanted to ensure the success of my first video by any means necessary. What people don't know is that

[00:17] my start on social media wasn't actually on YouTube. I spent months working and building something in a completely different place to learn how to succeed on YouTube. I was building a place where I could understand, experiment, fail, and learn how people think on social media. When I

[00:30] finally understood the game, learned my lesson, and was ready, I uploaded my first video to YouTube. I remember staying up all night, unable to sleep from sheer joy. My first sleep from sheer joy. My first YouTube video got 20,000 views and $46. That day,

[00:43] I felt like I had finally achieved my dream. That's how I calculated it. It's simple: if a video gets 100,000 views, you'll have $200. So, if you upload four videos a month, you'll have $800 comfortably. And then I uploaded another video, and it got 15,000 views. But I was shocked by the number

[00:58] That moment made me doubt myself and everything I'd planned and worked on for the past few months. After three years of creating content for social media, and after taking courses with the best YouTuber trainers in the world, like Mr. Best, Alex, and Ramzy, let me

[01:11] tell you, YouTube is the fastest platform to kill your dream if you're thinking of starting. And before you object, listen to me until the end.

[01:24] don't even understand how social media works. Most people think it's just about starting a YouTube channel and uploading videos. I've made a few videos, and now I'm going to get views, get paid in dollars, and become rich. But the reality is completely different from this nonsense, especially here in

[01:37] Egypt. The truth is, YouTube is n't a platform for beginners at all. On the contrary, I think YouTube is a platform for someone who has the luxury of continuing for at least a year without expecting any results, or at least for someone who starts with people who know and trust

[01:51] them and want to listen to them. It's not a platform to start from scratch because people's attention spans and focus are very weak these days. No one has the patience to sit and listen to you unless they want to listen to you or they don't know and trust you. Besides, YouTube earnings

[02:05] in Egypt are among the lowest in the world. The average earnings in Egypt per 100,000 views are $60. And if you knew the video that brought me 150,000 views? How many dollars did that bring me? You'll die laughing, and I'll tell you, but listen to me until the end. Can you even imagine the time and effort [music]

[02:18] you need to reach 100,000 views? Imagine, after months of effort and time spent filming, editing, and trying, after achieving 100,000 views, you end up with only 2800 Egyptian pounds? This is the moment when most people fail

[02:31] and decide to shut down their channel. This is the moment when 90% of YouTubers, are buried. Thankfully, that didn't happen to me. The truth is, I think the reason for my success on YouTube is that I didn't start on YouTube in the first place. Let me explain: to succeed in the world of

[02:45] content creation, you have to understand how the game is actually played. Most people don't understand social media. How does it work? You measure success by the number of views, the number of followers, how many likes this post got, how many comments. But when you get into the kitchen, you'll discover that all this talk is useless

[02:58] if you don't understand what you're supposed to do. You could have a million followers and not earn a penny, or you could have only 1,000 followers and make millions. The key is the impact you have on your followers. The truth is, YouTube or

[03:11] long videos aren't the best way to grow, succeed, and reach those people. This might have been true before the pandemic and before Reels and TikTok, because back then people didn't have a choice. Everyone watched long videos

[03:23] on YouTube. But nowadays, people don't have the patience to watch a five-minute video from someone they don't even know. They might give you 30 seconds of their time and attention, and that's the starting point for most people who dream of becoming YouTubers. They're famous because of the

[03:37] stereotype they have in their minds, imagining that a YouTuber is some sophisticated person who walks around with bags of dollars on his back, buying cars and all that. The truth is, while foreign content can be profitable and all good, in Arabic content, this is a

[03:51] different story. Forget about those people who just show their daily lives and exploit their families and everything like that. people who just show their daily lives and exploit their families and everything like that. its value is practically zero. I'm talking to people who feel they have real value

[04:05] and want to show it to others, or who want to make an impact but don't know how. If you truly have value and want to start showing it to people, YouTube or long-form videos are among the hardest ways to begin. At the beginning,

[04:17] you need to understand yourself and figure out what makes your content unique. In fact, you know what your unwell followers look like, and how their brains think about it. How do you know yourself or what distinguishes you, and get to know your unwell followers in a 10-

[04:30] minute video, and you want them to talk about you quickly? This is like wasting your time and their time, because these long videos need people who really talk about you, and who want to hear you, know more about you, and spend time with you. At the time when you are already just starting, you do not already have followers. You are still

[04:43] looking for what distinguishes you. You are still looking for your voice. You are still trying to discover what message you are going to give to people. That is why you must first try and test these ideas quickly in order to ensure your success on YouTube in the first place. This is exactly what I did. I had to

[04:57] first try and test the existing ideas. I do this quickly to ensure my success on uploading a video to YouTube that will get views, make you famous, and send dollars into your bank account. Otherwise, everyone would have succeeded. To achieve this, I decided to start with

[05:11] short videos, not long ones. My plan was to create as many short videos as possible, allowing me to experiment, test, and understand people's mindsets. I wanted to know what kind of content people actually wanted, and what I was good at. These short videos are like a

[05:23] glitch for anyone who wants to grow quickly because you can publish 100 videos in a few days, and what doesn't. You need to understand what people actually want from you and what kind of content they're interested in. I mean, I used to upload about three videos a day, which is 90

[05:37] focus on long videos now, with employees and people working with me, I'd be making 50 videos a year. Can you imagine that? And that's not even mentioning the videos themselves. This short video can be posted on all platforms at once. So, the same video I make here can be uploaded to TikTok, Facebook,

[05:50] Instagram, and YouTube. But the most important question is, which platform should I focus on if I want to grow quickly? Simply put, TikTok. Even though TikTok is a platform full of negativity and has been the reason many shady characters have emerged, that's precisely why it's the best platform to

[06:04] start on. It's simply the fastest platform to become famous. I currently have 1.3 million followers on TikTok, but I remember that my first 10,000 followers came from just one viral video. Can you imagine? The great thing about TikTok is that it's the only platform that doesn't care who

[06:17] you are, what your content looks like, or how many followers you have. Even if your account is brand new or you don't have any followers, it will still show you to people because the platform isn't interested in you as a content creator; it's interested in the consumer. He's watching, and she's interested in keeping him

[06:30] on the app for as long as possible. Let me explain it simply: social media algorithms use every new video uploaded to TikTok. The platform tests about 10 randomly selected consumers. If they pause your video and watch it to the end, or

[06:43] share it with someone, the platform understands that your content is appealing. So, it starts showing it to another 20 randomly selected people. If they interact with it, it starts showing the video to 50 new people. If they interact with it too, it starts promoting it. This is how most people become famous.

[06:57] By the way, it's not so much luck on TikTok as it is the whole idea that the content being published has found people who watch it to the end and are interested in it, nothing more. That's why every video I've uploaded on TikTok has been like data I collect to figure out what kind of content to start with on

[07:10] YouTube. And every time I upload videos The more you do in less time, the better you'll understand your content. And the more you understand your content, the more you'll create content that will make people follow you, care about you, and listen to you. You'll grow quickly, and then you'll be able to easily direct them to YouTube because they'll want to listen to you, spend

[07:23] more time with you, and learn more from you. They'll even tell you with on YouTube, and that's exactly what I did. Most people were asking me on TikTok back then how to study, how to organize my time, or how to plan for the new year. That's why my

[07:37] were about these topics. My first video got 20,000 views in the first week, my second video got 150,000 views in the first few days, and now it's over half a million. But what's shocking is that the 150,000 views

[07:49] only brought me $14 at the time, which is the same $14 a foreigner earns for 1,000 views. I didn't understand how YouTube even divided the profits, and how the previous video had earned $40 despite only getting 20,000 views. What were those 150,000 views

[08:04] learning how to actually make money from content creation. What I discovered after finishing a full YouTube course with Drial Ebbs, considered the world's top YouTuber trainer, is that there isn't a single source of income for content creators, and that Arabic content is very weak in terms of earnings,

[08:17] unlike foreign content. Most of the income for Arab content creators actually comes from companies, advertisements, and the services and products they offer, not from YouTube itself, not from ad revenue. My experience with Facebook and YouTube was a turning point

[08:30] for me because I understood that the game isn't about who gets the most views, but about who has the greatest influence on people. As I mentioned, numbers can be deceiving. You could have a million views and not earn a single penny, or you could have 1,000 followers, each one of whom

[08:43] buys your products and services. From that moment, I started approaching content creation and social media as a business. I began learning marketing, how to convert viewers into followers, followers into customers, and customers into people who trust you and are interested in everything you offer. I learned how to write my ideas for

[08:55] each piece of content and create a viral script every time, unlike most YouTubers who just upload videos and achieve this, I created a complete content creation platform—a single platform that gathers everything you could possibly need in the world of content creation, from initial

[09:09] ideas to more complex concepts. To plan how to build your own brand and how to convert followers into customers, how each platform works, what revenue streams each platform offers, how YouTube actually divides profits, what tools to start with and edit your videos, which accounts to

[09:22] follow and learn editing and content creation from, how to write YouTube scripts and shorts, and how to write scripts in any language—everything you can think of in the world of content creation. The essence of my experience and expertise over the past years is all incorporated into this system.

[09:34] want to release this system in the first place because I intended to give it to people when I created a complete bought it would find the course positive response, I decided to make it a mini-course for beginners, and thank God, the

[09:48] feedback has been great. It was amazing, and now, in celebration of White Friday, this factory is 50% off on my website. You can buy it, duplicate it on your own platform, and customize everything to your liking. If you have any problems with your Visa card, you can contact us on WhatsApp via the link in

[10:13] content creation, after gaining millions of followers, I discovered that I never be famous. I discovered that I was doing all of this because I wanted to leave a positive impact on the people around me, so they would remember me when I died. I wanted to find someone to carry on after me. I was afraid I'd die before I

[10:27] got married and had a son to continue my legacy. So, I decided that social media would be the place where I would leave behind knowledge that would benefit others and carry on my work, and perhaps even be the place where no one else... What he's telling you is that success is never about followers or how many people watch you. On the contrary, success happens when no

[10:40] one is even watching you, when you're working hard and staying up late, when you're doubting yourself, when you're about to give up and decide to keep going. These are the moments that truly distinguish who succeeds from who doesn't. Because ultimately, all those numbers we accumulate are

[10:53] meaningless if they don't translate into good deeds in the Hereafter. This is what I always try to remind myself of, and what I try to tell you indirectly when I say, "Don't forget to love yourself." I don't just but also don't forget to love yourself in the Hereafter and strive to build something that will stay with you there. So don't forget to

[11:07] strive to build something that will stay with you there. So don't forget to love yourself,
