[00:01] channel require skill acquired through years of hard work, or is it all about luck? I invited a guest to create a secret channel And we will try to make it popular. Our goal is to get more than 100,000

[00:14] subscribers, get this thing, enable monetization and make money. To decided not to go alone and called one of the participants in our private meeting. Before this subscribers on his channel, zero views, and zero views on foreign YouTube.

[00:28] But I was lucky that he had experience running a YouTube channel in Russian before, and perhaps you know him. Meet Misha. He previously directed get involved in foreign YouTube in order to promote his new channel and start

[00:41] will help him with this. The first thing we need to do is understand what we are going to shoot. And for this I want to call Misha. Look, I looked at the niches in private that exist. And most of all I liked 99 nights . Do you think it will be possible to

[00:53] I think so. There's a lot of hype around it right now, so you might want to give it a try. To begin with, Misha came up with a design for himself. He based it on a and paid an artist to draw something similar, only with the

[01:05] purple goblin from CS:GO Royale in the same style. This was his first investment. And nickname Boler Blx: Gobinn Roblok. Brilliant. what format we would use to make Roblox videos. I immediately warned Misha that

[01:20] long-form content is expensive and takes time to produce. One long video can cost from start with the Shors. They can be made easily. fast, without investment. We started searching several days scrolling through the feeds in a frenzy to find a suitable

[01:34] option. And suddenly Misha writes that you want to try 3D animation. I have 3D animation takes a long time to learn. We don't have time, so we need a person, a worker, who will do the animation for us. The

[01:49] an animator is on the exchange. Luckily, in our private YouTube channel, the largest exchange with YouTube workers. We cast several animators answered us. And we started working with one of them. For the work

[02:02] he asked 2 dashes 3,000 rubles. So I talked to the animator and agreed with have to pay him money, but only pay a percentage of his potential monthly earnings. The fourth stage is creating animations. Misha

[02:15] content he likes. We will take an example and inspiration from them in how Misha writes down ideas, adds photographs and references, makes a detailed script and sends it to me. I evaluate. If the short doesn't work in my opinion,

[02:29] it is sent to our animator for work. So, we come to the first video. The first day was an update with Khuloin in 99 Nights in the Woods. So, to get recommended and catch the hype, the theme of the

[02:42] prepared the scene, created new characters, prepared the vampire deer and created the entire animation. Misha added a song to the video. All that's left to do is publish your first video. I feel like we can do it. We haven't

[02:55] Let's just post quality shorts every day and see what we seven free materials for you on foreign YouTube that will help you get started their gratitude, as these seven free materials were enough for them to

[03:11] description. Seventh day. We released content every other day to see what would happen. But after the first week, things weren't going so well. Our shorts got no more than 20 dash 30,000 views. And during

[03:24] this time, only 210 people signed up. But my plan is to get 100,000 subscribers and make money from this channel. However, if it is a good sign, the shorts will means is that YouTube is giving us recommendations and we need to continue in the same

[03:37] spirit and look for a combination that will lead us to success. The fourteenth time we decided to try something new. Namely, instead of funny videos, they started Plus, they added a new pink deer character in the form of a girl. This is a new

[03:50] a lot of hype lately. And with these characters we started making sad love stories, after we posted seven new Shors on the channel, it didn't produce any results. 30-50,000 views and didn't want to go any further. We've gained just 200

[04:06] new subscribers. But Misha reminded me of something important. He recently listened to a call YouTube channel and said, "We need to combine two out-of-the-ordinary ideas, or take a competitor's hyped-up trend and at the same time take a character they haven't

[04:20] Whenever I created my projects worth tens of thousands of dollars, I used this trick, taking a competitor's ready-made idea and getting ahead of the game . That's what we did. It's a sad story about a baby deer and it has been viewed 30 million times. Misha quickly

[04:33] new character, a pink bat, was released the other day. And we took the short from this competitor as a basis and repeated it exactly. Changed the location to a cave and replaced the deer with bats. The animator sent the finished version. We approved it and uploaded it to the

[04:45] channel. The thirtieth day. The most interesting thing today was waking up. We update Shors broke through his ceiling and gained 100,000 views. Great. This is very gain momentum. The videos have surpassed more than 500,000 views, and the number of subscribers is

[05:00] . We're finally starting to get into the algorithm after 3 weeks of unsuccessful needs time to determine who to recommend our content to. And our time to take off. Next came Thanksgiving. And Misha

[05:15] unique idea. Well, friends, it's Thanksgiving Day right now, and we've released our first video related to this topic. He's flying in now, well, just the way it should. But how was this entire foundation of the idea

[05:28] built and made? I logged into the game just as the update was happening. I looked at everything that came out, and a new turkey character came out, that is, a new mob, a new pet. And the most popular location in 99 Nights is the bonfire itself. There

[05:42] is also hunger in the game, which means that you have to eat, otherwise you will lose the game. So I combined it, looked at the previous videos, which I also got with a dramatic script with drama. I

[05:55] thought, I need to come up with some kind of drama connected with the fire, connected with the new pet and with this hunger. This is how this idea was formed. I like this idea, so for the first time ever, Shores will be the shortest on this channel

[06:08] . It is quite emotional and has every chance of scaling. So our channel is growing rapidly, we shouldn't waste time and need to look for new animators. private exchange again and wait for new offers from workers. I also personally

[06:21] directed Misha to look for 3D animators. I sent him their forums, groups, and after several new candidates. You can also take part in my Fashionн Telegram channel and participate in my posts. I often look for employees and

[06:34] results there. Subscribe to avoid losing. Thirty-fourth day. By the The video, which Misha created himself, garnered a whopping 522,000 subscribers in just one day. But the next video didn't even break the ceiling. It was a short

[06:50] Apparently we went the wrong way. We should have stuck with the format that worked for us , but we made a mistake. Is it really the end of the road? The videos had just started to come out, and this one ruined the whole picture. It seemed like this was the end. But it wasn’t in

[07:04] endured [music] for a whole month, in order to take and let it all go. We have added a new feature. Let's to the channel. This way we will have a lot of subscribers on the channel.

[07:17] And do you know what it worked? Over time, taken off on the very first day and released the exact same shorts, only instead of a turkey, we added a wolf. And this shorts also flew off. Furthermore, no matter what video we

[07:30] posted, it never got less than 100,000 views. We broke through the ceiling and gained a foothold. Fortieth day. After a week of hard work, all the shorts were getting went over 10 million. So, we've accumulated 10 million interested

[07:44] news: monetization has been enabled. During this time, the channel has gained 300,000 goals from our plan have already been achieved. All that remains is to wait for the next few days and see how much money all this will bring us . Forty-fifth day.

[07:58] money. On the first day after connecting the coin, the channel brought in $5. Not enough. On the second day it was already 40 dollars. Yeah, right. on YouTube, which now earns $40 a day. In

[08:13] that you can apply in your projects, and perhaps they will help you. Here's the best way to start learning on YouTube, by doing it yourself, by surrounding yourself with people who understand YouTube or are also involved in it. YouTube privacy helped me with this; it

[08:27] was difficult, yes, indeed, it was difficult. I can't help but work Misha put into this experiment, how much he sacrificed and how much risk he took creating content this entire month. We also thank our YouTube channel, as

[08:40] without them we wouldn't have been able to find such a great animator. And, obviously, without our employee we would not have succeeded. But don't use this as an doing foreign YouTube. You can start a channel with an easy niche where you don’t

[08:53] channels with my own hands. Here are my other videos where I created channels myself and showed everything to you. Enjoy watching.
