08:33[00:01] video on a channel with impersonal content? I'm Alexander Orobeyko, the creator of a network of faceless and voiceless cooking channels. Watch this video to the end to learn today how to create effective videos that will be watched. Let's go,
[00:14] how many videos are really needed to launch monetization on a channel and start earning money? Is it possible to launch with just one video? Therefore, now I will show you how real channels develop using the example of them. Let's go, here we see a
[00:26] completely new channel with eight videos uploaded. As we see, growth begins, and growth begins exactly with the first video that we uploaded to the channel. As we see, here is the first video with pasta, and it just begins to grow, and what happens in a
[00:39] chain? It pulls up the rest of the videos, and accordingly, the channel explodes, accordingly, in a week, monetization will be launched. The next channel, which is already older, accordingly. Here are also eight videos, and roughly speaking,
[00:52] February 5th began, and after a month, the videos have already gained views and monetization has started. Also, on the first videos that, in a chain, have collected views, and the channel is already bringing in this kind of income, and then this kind of channel development
[01:07] also begins after eight videos. impressions and after a month, monetization is turned on and we earn such numbers, this is real and accordingly How to make the right content to launch channels like this in
[01:20] this video I will tell you how to do it my approach works in each of the Niches, accordingly, to determine what And where to start, we must decide what we like and try to find this direction on YouTube, that is, what we
[01:32] can do, shoot similar videos and at the same time find competitors who are filming at the moment and that is, a week ago 2 days ago Filmed and his videos are systematically gaining views accordingly If you find such a niche, you can try to
[01:46] enter it, what to do with the competition if we see that there are hundreds of such channels already thousands and you already think that you will not enter, you are mistaken My students and I competitive at the moment since it is simple and everyone and their dog is into it,
[02:01] we launch our channels as I showed you systematically and on schedule But what needs to be done for this, you need to maintain the bar for the quality of content and take the necessary actions to launch a channel is not so easy to film what we want we
[02:14] found a niche and how to film that A video that will collect How to find and select it, I show using the example of the culinary niche that I work in. I go to YouTube and enter, for example, the dessert niche, that is, the one that is my main channel,
[02:28] click on desserts without baking and find, for example, this channel, we are watching it at the moment, that is, it publishes videos. It collects and what we need to do is install the Widget vidq here we have these buttons appear, click
[02:41] these three dots, click View trending videos and see in fact what trending videos on this video are currently collecting. That is, as we see, such a cake, such and such, that is, we take one of these directions and try to re-shoot, re-shoot, it is
[02:54] important It is better so that you can win in the competition with this video, therefore If you repeat videos, you must do it better, so here you need to understand this or slightly change the look and try to go
[03:06] in a different direction a little, but here in addition to this, you need to take into account one thing so that your channel gains a foothold and you can continue to earn in addition to one video that will give you traffic. You must understand that you must in the long term
[03:19] Plan what you will film and what your target audience is. If you have noticed that when you watch YouTube, for example, videos, as happens with me. And
[03:31] YouTube feed, you are shown only videos on this topic, no others, neither cross-stitch knitting nor ballroom dancing, so you must understand that if you film a certain topic, YouTube will recommend you to the same cluster of audiences that are
[03:45] interested in this topic. You should think in advance about 5-10 recipes on a similar topic so that you can do this. If you already have an idea for only one recipe, you should not even start this niche, since you will not
[03:57] secure the channel and your channel will fall, therefore, you must analyze your target audience. And already make a script for several videos so that you collect a database of videos and so that, as I showed earlier, they collect views
[04:10] one after another in a chain. How to make an effective cover for your video, since without a cover you will not get views. Why? Because the cover is your advertising account, how will it be effective? The more efficient the work and the more people
[04:22] your video gets. Even if you shoot a super cool video, film a show there, make a cover, and lima, you simply won't be watched, and you'll just waste time and money on content production. Therefore, the cover is your main resource that needs to be
[04:36] used correctly. And how to understand what is needed for the cover to make it effective, I'll show you using my channel as an example, vivid examples of videos that are easy to understand, what's byte there, let's go. So, As you can see, I opened the top
[04:49] recipes and see vivid examples of jelly here, that is, here we have a byte angle for the location of this product and a glossy format, this is it, we each time collect good views. As you can see, 11 million, 6 million, 5.9 million and even
[05:05] earlier. We also repeated them. As you can see, 3 million ago and 3.2 This means that this angle. This product structure works well and effectively on the audience. And the content, accordingly, should hold
[05:18] attention so that viewers watch us longer, but As you can see, there are many covers here and it's clear what's on which byte, as it can It could be color, structure, the product itself, or the theme. Maybe at the moment, it could be the zones of this product. That
[05:30] is, to understand this, you need to acquire a lot of insight in order to launch a channel faster and more effectively. I have recorded for you a concentrated course with all the knowledge I have collected over 3 years of launching unsuccessful and successful channels.
[05:43] I have collected all the mistakes that should not be made, the most effective solutions, and I have packed it into a course for each process, that is, from selecting topics to filming videos, setting up Light, uploading videos and setting them up, and translating all this
[05:55] content into other languages so that it can be viewed by the whole world. Therefore, if you are interested in launching quickly and effectively, follow the course using the link in the this topic: how to create effective content so that the video is
[06:08] effective and has effective retention. We need the largest possible audience to remain in the first 30 seconds, We need the largest possible audience to remain in the first 30 seconds, always pay more attention to the first 30 seconds than to the rest of the video. Our task is to retain the
[06:20] maximum audience in these seconds. Later on, during the video, there will be less merging into the audience. Therefore, always pay maximum attention to the first 30 seconds and try to understand what specifically attracts the audience. Go through
[06:33] all sorts of moments to hook, so to speak, and keep the audience watching your video further, since in Culinary it is not always easy to understand what exactly works here because it can be music, color, and your movements. What kind of dishes, that
[06:47] collect this beginning bit by bit and use it so that further and your videos are effective. The most effective percentage for your video to fly is your retention of 30 seconds should be from 70% and above, then your
[07:01] video will be successful. If you fall below 50% or from 50 to 65, then your chances of success are small, especially if the video is short, so your task is to analyze. How to make an introduction correctly when to publish videos.
[07:16] Does it matter what time you publish your videos? But there is a small nuance. Let's assume that your audience, for example, watches your content. Well, let's say subscribers began watching certain
[07:29] videos at certain times that you publish, let's say you publish on certain days and at certain times, and you began to get views. Let's look at this situation. That is, each person has a certain schedule in which he
[07:41] watches content at a certain time, yes, that is, if you published a video, let's say, at 4:00 pm, and at this moment a person is just browsing the Internet, accordingly, he watches YouTube and comes across your video and starts watching it and intuitively. That
[07:55] and if he comes across your videos, he will most likely watch them. If you publish at different times, then you will miss the opportunity for your audience, who constantly watched
[08:08] your video right from the start, so that YouTube will promote it further, since YouTube loves when videos are promoted. That is, it even writes a message that your videos are promoted due to the fact that a constant audience more often goes to
[08:20] your content, therefore, the time of publication in the long term is not important, but at the First start, this is very important and you must maintain discipline and publish videos at the same time at which you began to publish the main content. When is it worth starting
[08:33] your YouTube channel? You can start and start your channel at any time after analyzing competitors, what time they launch, when the niche you want to launch is in demand, accordingly. collects views and
[08:45] then you can launch, you shouldn't worry about the competition, there are already major bloggers, you need to understand that any person, so to speak, is not eternal and at some point he begins to have a creative crisis, accordingly. When we have a
[08:58] top blogger, like, for example, mine, sometimes the channel shoots better than everyone else, that is, in December and November, the dessert niche is the top one, and for a couple of years I was in first place and I had no one to copy from, that is, there was nowhere to
[09:10] get ideas, so it is important to understand that large bloggers are also beginning to stagnate and you, with a new approach, can pick up and occupy your worry, always start and you will find your approach to the content that
[09:24] you like. monetization from the first video, as you understood from the video, is impossible, that is, from the first video, but from one video you can earn money on monetization, collect the necessary subscribers and even earn money on one video even if you
[09:36] don't shoot the rest, but to get the first impressions you need a minimum of eight videos and 2 weeks to shoot to get impressions from YouTube and start eight videos that you It will catch
[09:48] on and bring you monetization and launch your channel, but to continue earning, you must always continue to act and shoot systematic content to maintain your level and your competitors do not outshine you, since
[10:01] you can outshine someone, so go ahead. Work. Watch new videos on my channel, since I will give a lot of useful information and take the course. If you want to launch quickly, effectively and without errors, so far.
