Hey guys, happy to say that I'm going to be starting my first journey thread for my own motivation. Thanks for reading!
A little about what's shaped me:
- 2016, I was a college student who got accepted into Med school- I thought med school was my only route in life.
- 2017, father was terminally diagnosed and I was completely devasted. My 1st piece of advice to you guys is to don't wait upon something bad to happen to truly embrace life. Love your family. Love your friends. Especially love yourself.
- 2018, had my first hospital work experience. Words that I will never forget/nor accept "I spend more time working here at the hospital more than I do with my own kids." I hated leaving to go to the hospital and arriving home from the hospital everyday. I would miss countless opportunities to spend time with my pops while he was severely fatigued from his condition.
- 2019 January, I was introduced by a friend to his YouTube empire through viral videos. He showed me the ropes, how to work YouTube, and how to successfully do well on YouTube. He joint ventured with me on a channel that's now making $3,000 a month. His primary channel is generating about 40k-50k per month. This really opened my eyes to the world of YouTube because not only was making videos something that I loved, I have a clear and thorough mind about how to go about doing so. Sadly, 50+hours a week were still dedicated to school.
- 2019 April, passed my board exam and became licensed.
- 2019 August, graduated med school at 25 y.o. (yes, in the US you actually can take your boards before you graduate)
- 2019 September/October, family trip to the motherland for my pops
----------------------------
The Goals:
[] Monetization enabled
[] $100/month
[] $1,000/month
[] $10,000/month
[] $30,000/month
[] Cover my parents' rent
[] Buy my brother a new iPad
The Plan:
The plan is to upload 1 video every day to one channel. Focus on one channel before focusing on others.
So a lot of what I'll be doing was taught from my mentor friend which I hope will be of some use to you guys too. For YouTube these are the main components:
1) Research- done by me
2) Scriptwriting- done by me
3) Voiceover- done by Chris at $5/ 1,000 words
4) Video creation- done by Kim at $3 a video
5) Uploading- done be Kim included
6) Thumbnail- done by Hmail at $3 a thumbnail
7) Optimization- done by me
The Overhead:
30 videos/ month= $480/ month
vidIQ= $10/ month
Total cost: $490/month
The Channel Statistics:
Channel was created June 11, 2019
- 10 videos
- 2 subscribers
- 90 views total
- 4.1 hours watch time
- 1 video uploaded today
Now here's my problem...
I'm not so familiar with how to get a channel monetized is all. so I'm having a hard time finding ways to promote my channel. I also do not have any social media accounts with big followings so I can promote the videos. The only thing I have been doing is commenting on other people's videos related to the niche.
Any good ways for me to grow my YouTube channel organically to monetization status would be greatly appreciated because once I hit that status, I feel like my expertise will finally shine.
Any input will be appreciated stay tuned for updates!
