07:08[00:01] have today in 2025 to grow a YouTube channel so quickly and start generating income, especially at this time, since YouTube is currently paying
[00:14] content creators the most and we can earn the most money . Therefore, in today's video we're going to see how to take advantage of the new features of the YouTube algorithm in 2025 and how you can take advantage of them as soon as possible. If you don't know me, I'm
[00:27] Eric Alanis and I've been living off this business model for almost 2 years now, month. And one of the proofs that we are in the best time to be able to live off YouTube is that I myself achieved it 3 months after starting
[00:40] with this business model. I got 2,500,000 visits and more than €3,000 in the first 3 months after I started. And yes, as I told you, starting first thing you should know is that YouTube has literally never been
[00:55] as committed to small channels as it is now. A few months ago, the CEO of YouTube publicly confirmed that they have created an internal team dedicated solely to small channels to learn more about how they work and to
[01:09] empower them. That means that for the first time in the platform's history, you do n't need hundreds of thousands of subscribers for your videos to appear in recommendations or on the homepage. In fact, what they
[01:21] channels with few subscribers to gain rapid visibility, because they have receives visits at the beginning, they are much more likely to not give up and to continue uploading content. And guess what, that's exactly what's best for
[01:37] YouTube. More active content equals more content, and that equals more pushing channels that are just starting out. And this is where it's the right videos with the right topics and apply certain techniques
[01:51] that currently favor the algorithm, you can ride that wave of momentum and grow your channel much faster than was possible a year ago. And here's something that very few people know about the CEO I'm
[02:03] talking about: the CEO of YouTube. This is a group of people within the company whose sole function is to analyze all those small channels daily and select which ones have much more potential to grow. They are
[02:16] neither bots nor cold algorithms, they are real people working together with the algorithm, reviewing trends and detecting creators who deserve growth. And how do they work? They basically monitor key metrics.
[02:29] managing to retain the audience beyond the first few seconds? Two, those who publish content that answers searches or topics of great interest at generate quick interaction, whether likes, comments, etc.? When
[02:43] they detect a channel that meets those conditions, they add it to a videos start appearing more frequently on the home page. It that channel before, and if those results hold, that channel
[02:57] receives an even much, much bigger boost. In other words, YouTube now acts as if it were your strategic partner, pushing your content when you see clear signs that the audience is responding. And the best part is
[03:09] having thousands of subscribers, but on your content being aligned with what people want to see. This has never happened before in the history of YouTube. Previously, if you didn't have a community, growing was an uphill battle. Today in
[03:23] 2025 there is literally an internal team that is detected to search and see if you are doing things right. And those signs that YouTube is searching within your channel are the following. One of them is audience retention. If your video
[03:35] grabs attention in the first few seconds and you manage to keep that audience watching until the middle of the video, YouTube automatically detects that your content is relevant. That's why catchy titles aren't enough anymore. You need a
[03:47] strong start and to maintain attention with catchy loops. And don't worry about what explain it to you later. The second signal is interaction. It's a new metric that measures the intensity of interaction on your own video, likes, comments,
[04:01] shares, and even subscription spikes on certain specific content. The more likes, subscribers, and comments you generate, the all those people are likely to see your content in the future. The
[04:14] consistency. Uploading one good video per month is no longer enough. YouTube rewards because that generates much more data for the algorithm and more trust that you are someone serious. In most cases I recommend uploading three to four
[04:28] but obviously I also take into account the niche and it depends on the type of video. And finally, the fourth sign of all is trending topics. If you upload videos high demand, the chances of the algorithm promoting you skyrocket
[04:42] demanded topics are not things that seem popular, but rather very specific things with a fairly specific audience, such as a golf channel or a football team only. And these types of
[04:55] grow than if you make videos about very general topics, because in that type of will be much harder for YouTube to want to recommend you. If instead you focus on more in-demand topics, but much more specific, it will be easier to attract the
[05:09] because you will be touching on either a pain point or a desire. If you do this, you will perfectly well receive more than 200,000 visits, screen, which with this first video already generates all these visits without having
[05:23] previous subscribers or a previous audience. And this is because I'm doing exactly what I before. To find reference channels that do this, one of the things I personally do is download BDIQ. To do this,
[05:36] you need to go to your browser, search for BaiQ, and the first thing you will have to do is obviously log in to the platform. Note: You don't need to subscribe or make a payment. Baiq is completely
[05:50] free. And I also recommend that you add it to your Chrome. To do this, you need to search for Chrome extensions and look for Bit IQ. In this case, well, I already have it installed. All you
[06:03] have to do here is install it and that's it. See? As you can see, I already have it installed; I just need to any YouTube video, go to the suggested videos tab, and
[06:16] search for video ideas. But if you look closely, we have this little number here. Okay, now that we've covered all of this, let's talk about why now is the best time to make money on YouTube.
[06:29] Q4 is approaching. And what is Q4? the last quarter of the year. And the last quarter most to appear on platforms, whether it 's YouTube or other platforms. Those platforms earn more money, and those
[06:43] platforms obviously pay us creators more. Because? Because it's the time of year when, generally all over the world, there's Christmas, there are parties, there's Black Friday, etc., etc., etc. In other words, the
[06:55] RPM, which is what we earn for every 1000 visits, increases considerably more. Another best time to make money with YouTube is artificial intelligence. And yes, I know that many other people have probably already told you about this,
[07:08] so you can see it right away and with your own eyes. All these miniatures you're seeing here cost me $20 each and it took the designer 3 days to make one of them. Okay, so multiply 20 by 4 videos a week and
[07:25] in total you would upload about 16 thumbnails a week and that would be more than $300 with just thumbnails. Okay, so made with artificial intelligence in less than 2 minutes and it was
[07:39] completely free, and it's this one here. I asked him exactly what he wanted. I gave it the reference, the reference video, and look what it generated for me in literally less than 2 minutes. A designer would have
[07:52] taken many, many hours here and would have charged me more than $15 just to make this design. And look how quickly I did it and how good it turned out. Okay, business model works and you're aware of the great opportunity we have
[08:07] today to earn money online from your own home, I recommend you watch this video, which is basically a free guide where I teach you everything step by step that both my students and I use to make a living from YouTube. Yeah.
