Is this an example of your channel?
Or is this actually your channel?
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCeHnMjq-57OMVKj9Rqb9lA

either way my example would be the same. Ecommerce conversions would be my best thought toward an alternative monetization.
Slap a V.O. over a giveaway and your good to go.

As per the rest, I'd suggest your own forum or a post in the BH Lounge area.
Gl man.




Penny panel, and yes.
other wise ill push it across multiple social media channels, and if possible set up a few shares with other platforms long Before I actually post the video.
The first few hours and days are crucial so all the traffic you can bust into a baby is welcome.
Also the more backlinks pushing toward the video help with google search and youtube rankings



Thanks for the kind words! that means alot ^_^

I've seen a mixed bag a results based on niche. Some times yes using a uniquetext to speech can get you through (because youtube can see this as "your style")
My suggestion for you.
FIverr. or collaborate or get a mic.
its to easy to do a VO, and to waste all that work only to get hit by the evil youtube algorithm.




your most welcome my good sir ^_^
and ty your advice is welcome



If you have a Q or A im game for conversation, otherwise, like I previously said, a new forum or a post in the BH lounge would be a better place for this type of content.
Ty guys ^_^
this thread is to help others Directly via Q and A
If either of you want to go in deep on this topic (trust me im wanting to right now) feel free to PM me.



I would need you to elaborate on your question


No, that is not my channel, but you get the idea. Videos outside of the niche you grew your channel about, don't get any fucking traction, they get so little views, even if you have hundred of thousands of subs. Again, you need this cult personality going about you, so you are cool amongst kids and adults and they give you money. Even if you are talented, if you are anonymous, you are fucked in most cases. Only people with strict adult audiences and a lot of talent can make a living out of adsense.

SHIT, and guess what, the COPPA nonsense fucks your channel up so much, you lose comments section, community tab, notifications, end screens, playlists, ANY SORT OF COMUNICATION WITH YOUR AUDIENCE. If your channel gets hit by this you are dead. My content didnt get auto flagged yet but im shake, i dont know what the future awaits. If I was living in the US, I would be facing $42,000 per video that I don't correctly mark as for kids or not for kids. This whole fucking thing is ridiculous and bullshit, I hope this abomination of a law gets stooped.
 
Thank you again! I have another question.
If you build a new channel, how long do you think it would take to have 1000 subscribers?
I want to get started on youtube, but I don't know how long it will take.

I think i understand where your at man.
Here's my advice, see the channels with people faces as correlating content between those genre jumps.

If you known for posting about BLANK and switch to blank, what is tying those two video and there content together,.
In those channels cases, its the literal FACE of the youtuber. So the genre change is still with in context, correlation, and brand. <youtube like this and the algorithm lays nice as you know)

So for your videos (if you dont ave a Face to connect them) one would find somehing ELSE to connect the new content to create context, correlation, and brand
Make sense?

Thank you again! I have another question.

This question is what we here on BHW call too BROAD.
In one situation< OVER NIGHT
In another 3 years.

Ask me your question again in more depth or in different context to your goal.


OP, have you ever been shadow banned for buying views?

No, I've been very careful with boosting to much, I focus on building strong content firstly so my video boosts are leaned against that, A Boost, not a crutch or a wall to lean on
 
How much do Youtube influencers (500K + subs) charge for reviewing a platform or a service (promotional stuff).
 
Thank for taking time for this thread and answer all the questions.
I am newbie of IM and TY. Want to further more steps on YT.

Have some questions, hope you give some suggestions:

1. I do DIY videos, not good at English and shame to show my face. Video only focus on my hands to DIY.
No voice, only music as background. Do you think this kind of video will be YT recommend list?
Do i have to write scripts and hire a VO for the video?

2. Not trying to monetize, just bring traffic to eCommerce conversation.
Had not try boost them yet, would like to try. But search BHW, many boost will get likes, sub or comments will drop sometime later. If so, YT will ban my channel?
This is my first channel, do not want YT to ban it. So i never try to buy views. But right now only one video have 400+ views, with 7 comments.

3. 5 seconds you mentioned. My videos, first will have a title with my Logo, then show the materials needed to DIY, no voice, only music background. How can i attract people continue to watch? The whole video is about the DIY process.

4. KWs, Tags, LSI words, thumbnails, all these are copy from some competitors, or do some work my self. But how to do the high engagement? Buy comments first? All the comments i replied, right now only have 1-2 new comments a day. I want to 100 times of the result. Can i use some child accounts (fake YT accounts without channels) to sub, like, add to playlist and create comments for videos, then i reply to the comments, to boost for high engagement? If YT found that all the comments are come from those users, such as 10 YT accounts, this will get me in trouble?

5. Is there a reliable panel to buy reviews with your exp? If BHW not allow you reply here, you can PM me.

6 . What about doing giveaway and keep the "giveaway" in my title? But the item cost much, what i am selling is accessory. Need to have ten orders to cover the cost of produced items. Is that necessary? Or just giveaway the accessory?

7. How to rank top at other peoples video? I tried to comment on one video, and reply somes comments about where to buy this or that, tell him/her the short link of my store. Maybe this a another way to attract traffic. But how to rank my comments to let more views see my comments? Buy comments or use the child accounts, or other way?

Forgive me so many questions, thank you in advance!

How much do Youtube influencers (500K + subs) charge for reviewing a platform or a service (promotional stuff).

It depends on the Niche, the youtuber, the youtubers channel Size and the deal you pitch them.
I would suggest not only hitiing them with a cash offer but with a percentage or video push offer included as well.
Offereing multiple things is a great way to help convince a person, just cash is weak.
Cash + Link Biuilding+ Percentage profit + Extra Views + a platform short out
may be worth Way more to them

as per Actualy dollar amount.
Look at the niche and price accordingly.
Example gaming , games cost 60 bucks. so around 25 to 30 (depending on channel size may be fair
Or say a make up niche. basic makup kits can run 20 to 80 dollars , so offer 40 .

Keep in mind the channel size may need a better offer cash or ect. Bu the return would be higher too :P

When you create content and are trying to know if something will work, Look at some one who is ALREADY DOING IT.
Then copy what they are doing with Your personal twist.
Per your example see if another channel that is successful and has posted a video n the last 6 months has a video you can copy out there.
As to if you need a Vo and or script.
Script YES it is a basic to all video types. Script is just another way of saying a GAME PLAN
VO is optional as per what you as conveying and doing it could HELP or harm. depends on video and content. look at twaht the other are doing then. UNDERSTAND WHY it is Working or isn't working.

2. Not trying to monetize, just bring traffic to eCommerce conversation.
Had not try boost them yet, would like to try. But search BHW, many boost will get likes, sub or comments will drop sometime later. If so, YT will ban my channel?
This is my first channel, do not want YT to ban it. So i never try to buy views. But right now only one video have 400+ views, with 7 comments.

your content feels like it is weak.
You tube to see tip number one. DON'T reinvent the wheel. do what has been done with a twist.

as per boosting, there are still a Few good boosters they just cost more money for better quality.
Be ready to get banned and let that account GO. Move forward thinking this in your mind -
" How can I push the limits today so hard they might Bann ME?" Then do that. Trying not to get banned along the way.
Fail then you know how to succeed next time



3. 5 seconds you mentioned. My videos, first will have a title with my Logo, then show the materials needed to DIY, no voice, only music background. How can i attract people continue to watch? The whole video is about the DIY process.

As you know the title doesn't count in the 5 second counter
Think about how you are shooting those tools, make them interesting to look at, use dynamic angles to film them, Does the music corrilate with the angle, color correction and or angles?

As a test show it to your friend after you make it ans see if they Care after 5 seconds, Watch Them watching your Video. Is your content Boring after 5 seconds or does it Move on fast to another Shot, topic, subject matter.

If you see/hear/experience the same thing on camera for more than 5 seconds and feel the need to "think" your screwed and need to redo the edit/shot.


4. KWs, Tags, LSI words, thumbnails, all these are copy from some competitors, or do some work my self. But how to do the high engagement? Buy comments first? All the comments i replied, right now only have 1-2 new comments a day. I want to 100 times of the result.

If YT found that all the comments are come from those users, such as 10 YT accounts, this will get me in trouble?

I personally haven't used Black hat tools to this extend so i would know the affect.
I use them as a BOOST nothing more. Relying more on the high value of your content is a safer route long term

5. Is there a reliable panel to buy reviews with your exp? If BHW not allow you reply here, you can PM me.

I dont break BHW rules, as per they are for both our safety.
The Panels here on BHW are pretty good and your should check them out. Look for the ones that tell you you will high full high retention


6 . What about doing giveaway and keep the "giveaway" in my title? But the item cost much, what i am selling is accessory. Need to have ten orders to cover the cost of produced items. Is that necessary? Or just giveaway the accessory?

Depends on the video content and niche. This question is to vague to properly answer.

7. How to rank top at other peoples video? I tried to comment on one video, and reply somes comments about where to buy this or that, tell him/her the short link of my store. Maybe this a another way to attract traffic. But how to rank my comments to let more views see my comments? Buy comments or use the child accounts, or other way?

There amy be a few panels that can boost your comment, check the BHW market place. Though i personally havent tried to do this so be wary.

Forgive me so many questions, thank you in advance!
You welcome!

see the previous post on here and ask specific questions. ^_^
 
Thank you for your answer!

The 5 top competitors are showing faces, and talking too much, and some performances are so exaggerated in my opinion. i am shy, can not do something like that. And i am an Asian, not good at English. What should i do? The scripts will be add to videos.


My first video has one month, all 7 videos, the most views only 450+, for edit some tags, titles, description, only add new 50+ views per day these days. Is that normal? Or the content is week as you said?

I will try to find one guy here to do a little boost. Thanks for your time!

So a gaming blogger with 500K subs would charge 20-80 USD? Are you sure you didn't forget to add a few zeros?

1. Yes ok if your competitors with correct return on numbers are using voices and exaggeration then so must you, hire a Voice actor to do it for you from script.
(check out fiverr for some or pm me I think i can remember a site specific for vo that has a few or may I have an old connection)

2.The content is weak.

Ok, thanks, PM you.
I will work on the content. After all content is the king.

Make sense?

not really

clocks ticking, I have like 40 uploaded animations, no one of them got flagged, I still didn't chose if they are either for kids or not, what the f*ck do I do?

There's not enough time to change my content, I have 500k+ subs, to be honest mostly kids and from all over the world, no one gives a f*ck about me because im not pewdiepie so its kinde useless beside the ad reveue so im f*cked

i don't see any way out but to mark them as not for kids and ride the adsense revenue until the FTC catches me, which as far as I know, they cant sue me because im from europe, so worst case scenario they close my channel... which would be devastating but at least i can keep making money until then

the audience i have is just useless except adsense. and i dont want to go on camera, i like being anonymous.
 
Can you tell me how to boost a video just loaded?
I tried to boost a video just loaded yesterday, buy the custom comments of 20+ first, but they all come in a hour.
But the likes are not match the comments, it seem wired!
Forget to buy the likes, sub, and long time retention, all the four are the main factors to be high CTR and engagement?
Can i ask if you want to boost a little, what factors need to consider and what need to buy?
Thanks!
 
Thanks for replying.. i recently i created a text to speech video on my youtube channel and suddenly it got lot of views and attention from viewer. In my comment section people have flooded my comment section with this question "do you think text to speech video gets ypp monetised or not?"


So you mean to say if we use our own script with unique voice youtube may monetise it ?

Can you help what should i tell them?

As a suggestion have you thought about hiring someone to be the face of you channel?
Actors are really easy to come by.

Yes thats about right on the turn around time.
As per order.
I'd suggest the natural view > like > comment.

Ad per CTR actual real views balance and real engagment ratios. this all depends on your content and the niche. Gl man

Yes, becasue at that point your making original real content = white hat. so (dependant on niche) you will be good to go get monetization.
keep at it.

it doesnt matter, if the FTC decides my channel has to be shut down, its over

what I want to do is at least change my name, because it can be misleading and look as if its made for kids only, shit, its like planets have aligned to make this a nightmare

the problem of changing my name is that I will lose the verification badge, and i have no doubt that works in your favor CTR wise when the tick appears next to your thumbnail when the videos are recommended, its eye catching, and people love vanity, so they will click on a verified channel before a non verified one

this fucking sucks. apparently they have made things more complicated to get your channel verified now. even if i have 1,000,000 subs, this dumb vague shit of "authenticity" will probably not apply to my channel:

YouTube-verification-icon.jpg


how im supposed to apply to get the verification again once I change the nickname? i feel like they will not give it to me and i will lose it forever. those intermediate steps are too vague and probably thats what they use to selectively verify anything they like. this sucks, once again youtube is just catering for celebrities and big branding now.

This topic has grown in vast interest over the last few months and again I'd have to suggest making your own thread,

This is more a Direct ask me a Q and I give you an A kinda place,
Thanks for understanding.
 
You've said when uploading a new video it's good to boost it by buying some likes and views. Like how much?
