What type of videos give most affiliate earnings ?

 

[vedeva]

hi good sir @wengthemeng
I'm still in page six actually in this AMA section, but I've learned so much and really try to get more understanding because I don't have any good seo knowledge. do you mind If I see your channel ? if yes, 'plz gib me infinite knowledge' good sir.

if this one really bothering you, you can send a pm to tell me which youtube channel you have. (I prefer the funny one, I do really need a good laugh at this moment).

thanks for this AMA section in BHW.

Good day BHW,

I found myself answering a bunch of people's questions quite thoroughly in this section of the forum to only realize that not everyone is probably gonna read my answers. So why not start an AMA?

I hope to inspire/ motivate people to take action on YouTube

Ask me anything regarding the following topics (credits to @Takurah for this list)

• Content Creation
• Keywords
• Proper Titles
• Traffic sourcing
• Fake view boosting
• Back Linking
• Editing Software
• Niche Finding
• What to film/edit/make next?
• Why things go viral.
• Basic Algorithms
• Collaborations
• Camera
• Lighting
• Monetizing your Youtube Channel

All that and any of that plus more.

Here are a few questions I've answered already:

Q: If I bought subs+ views and reached monetization criteria, will my channel get monetized?
A: A lot more details are factored when it comes to monetizing your channel. I ll layout my process of how someone i know monetizes their channel and has actually done it for me too.
1) aged YT account
2) i branded the account, actually created a profile pic/ banner/ created twitter page as well to link it with.
3) posted 3 videos; 2 10 min long ones, and 1 2 hour long one- similar niche, commentary/ screen record type videos.
4) Buying subs is easy, im not gonna recommend an SMM panel though but justbuy 1k.
5) as for teh watch hours, my friend has his guy bot the watch time on his 2 hour long video.
6) apply for monetization; receive acceptance after 2-3 weeks.

Now this is the general criteria I follow after I receive approval:
1) Keep videos public until more than 10 new videos are posted.
2. dont change primary owner for another 6 months
3. NEVER turn on monetization for the watch hours video
4. Dont change passwords for a couple of months
5. dont change emails for a couple of months
6. It’s OKAY to monetize new videos on the channel that you post.

--------

Q: If my YouTube account was connected to a banned adsense acccount, is it still okay for me to connect another adsense account to it?
A: From what I've learned from google reps through chat is this:
Channel A is connected to Adsense A.
Adsense A gets banned, but Channel A is still monetizable.
You are still allowed to connect Channel A to Adsense B.

If the reasons why Adsense A got banned though is BECAUSE of YouTube activity, then youre gonna need to fix your youtube to abide by YouTube policies. If you don't, then you would then be putting Adsense B at harm.
If the reasons why Adsense A got banned is NOT because of YouTube activity, then connecting Channel A to Adsense B should be perfectly fine.

You'll know if Adsense A got banned because of Channel A if you receive a notification or copyright strike or etc. that it was related to youtube activity.


-----------------------
Looking forward to answering your questions during this quarantine time.

Thanks for the beautiful content. You are enough expert on youtube and about youtube. But I have a small request. DO not offer to use bot for generating views or subscribers. If any body is not able to generate views or subscribers than the persona can buy a very small number of views from panel: Like 100. Some days ago I have discussed with youtube studio customer care section and they have answered to me that: any types of bot views can delete your video or total channel videos any time. So do not use any bots. Instead of bot you can use SMM panel. Hope you are not angry with me. I am saying it from my experience. I am using youtube from the first day and my channel age is 4+ years now. I am not enough expert. Learning and struggling.

1. If you have a lot of material for quality content and you can easly make a few videos. It is better to post 2-3 times a day or better to stick 1 per day, as youtube can see you as "spammy"??

2. I have a lot of organic watchtime, but subscribers count is going really slow. There is "legal" way to make giveway/contest which involves call to action (subscribing channel/ comment video)?

1. 2-3 times a day for sure. Maybe warm up the account for a while first but my most viral videos I've had with various channels came when I was uploading 2-3 times a day. It's much easier for the other videos to catch that momentum too.

2. Sure. I don't think YouTube's TOS mentions anywhere that you can't do this (please correct me if I'm wrong). Subscribers are fairly useless and more a vanity metric these days though. Most YouTube users don't check their subscriptions. If someone a non-subscriber has been watching your videos, YouTube will suggest them your new ones, though they are not subscribed. If someone wasn't interested in your last couple of videos, YouTube won't suggest them your new ones, even if they are subscribed.

If you're asking this because you're worried about monetization, you're much more likely to hit 1000 subs before you hit the watch hours limit. Watch hours are generally harder to obtain.

 

[wishdeath]

I have almost 10k watched hours but subs still low, just for that I want to hit 1k and forgget about subscribers count

btw, thank you fro reply

6- Can I run a multi-niche channel?
7- Does views count have any effect on ranking?
8- can you give me some insight on how the suggestion algorithm works?

[SoChillFella]

What good video editing software do you recommend for youtube?

 

[RQ7]

Hi!
In 2021 channels like Watch Data get monetized ?

 

[soulburger]

Would you agree that YouTube have become a lot less strict about monetization in the last year?

my RPM Is higher than cpm i mean super high like rpm $60 cpm is $7

 

[dlazz]

Hey! Do you keep all of your workers separate and work with them directly or you have group chats with them?

 

[Tribulations]

Channel A: around 3 million subs, becomes stuck at 50k-90k views per video, 200-300k views a day
Channel B: around 3 million subs, consistently hitting 1-3MM views per video, 2MM-4MM views a day

Same niche, similar upload rate, Channel A even has better quality content

Both anonymous channels with no voices as well so no personality cult factor

Why is that if not just pure luck of the algo liking one channel and capping another?

 

[wishdeath]

How to warm up bought botted monetized channel?
Should I wait a few days, before change of adsense account and meantime posting videos from "new IP/country"?

 

[calm_down]

I dont have any questions just wanting to say thank u for your services and contributions!

 

[mujobean]

1. Should each channel be managed from separate IP address? How to do it? How many are safe to run from 1 IP?
2. Can Ii apply for adsense account with monetized channel that I bought?
3. Can compilation channel with no music and no voice over be used to approve for adsense?
4. Can I set channel country different that adsense country?
5. Any sources to buy monetized channel?

Thanks

it's not luck, channel B has more clickbait thumbnail and title. that's the only reason. youtube probably recommend both channels in same portion, channel A convert less click, channel B convert more click, so youtube promote channel B more than channel A, and as a result, channel B got more and more view where channel A stuck

I don't know if you have told this but as I remember you have a lot of people working for you. How much of that revenue is profit that you personally gain (after you have paid workers and other costs)?

1. My YouTube channel profit margins (from the best to my worst channels) range from about 60-90% profit margins. However, I do have channels that I’m still starting that are of course losing money initially.

Hi Can you please answer me this question:



1.How to gain first 1000 subscribers?

2.How to gain more views?

3.Can we try to show our patreon with small subscribers?

4.How much we will earn money when we reach minimum for YouTube Monetization what's more depend fot that views or subscribers?

Thanks.

1. Gain your first 1000 subscribers- try and understand that subscribers are a byproduct of creating good content on YouTube. Create good content (which is the hardest part) and subscribers will follow.

2. Gain more views by creating searchable content, utilizing playlists, and utilizing end screens. Also link to relevant videos in your description.

3. Not sure what you mean by this!

4. As soon as channels get approved for monetization, it depends on how many views there getting equates to how much theyre making.

How Some of the Youtube Live Stream Stick to the Top of the Competitive keyword search page ?
According to alogrithm what is counted ? No. of Peope Watching ? Channel Age ? Channel Subscribers ? What ?

1. YouTube weights live streams very high Which is why when you search for certain topics, you’ll see YouTube live streams at the very top of the steam.

The main indicators to track?
How to analyze traffic sources?

In order of importance these are the indicators you track:
1. Impressions (which comes from your optimization/ keyword usage)
2. CTR (which comes from a good title and thumbnail)
3. Average viewer duration (Which comes from the actual content of your video)

I saw your video about how to research for content with an example of lebron james.
questions:
1. if i found 1 video and the channel has below 500k subscribers and millions of views, should i create the same exact content like it?
2. after creating content on no 1 above then i just wait for the video getting views after upload it?
3. what if the competition is too high for the content ? should i find another one ?
4. what is the indicator whether the competition is good to make the video?

thanks in advance!

Thanks for watching my videos!

1. I think it would be worth creating a video similar to it. You do have to consider questions though like ”Was the topic part of a trending news or event?” Or “Is the topic less than 6 months old?”

First of all, thank you for starting this thread! I've read your answers in at least 8-10 pages out the 15. I have a problem, which isn't really unique, but a problem regardless and I have no solution to. I'm in the travel niche where I cannot make videos staying at home. It's usually my friend who films me and I do the concept, story, editing, etc. (basically, everything post production).

So far, we've released two full length videos, and neither of them are getting impressions as much as I'd like. Now, given that we're in a niche that's very time, money, and effort intensive, I have no choice but to keep putting out content and hope something "blows up" and gets my channel exposure. My SEO is on point and I know for a fact that we're producing content that is superior than others in terms of cinematic visuals, sound design, etc.

Is there anyway I can get more views by publishing 1 piece of extraordinary content every 1 or 2 months? I know vloggers who have gained a lot of exposure by posting videos daily/weekly, but this is not the route we'd want to take-- 1) because everybody's doing it; 2) because I'm not very good at talking live; 3) I find it quite boring + low effort.

Also know people who have gone viral many times in the 'cinematic travel video' niche and gained over 100k+ subscribers with only 4 or 5 videos. Is there any way to make the algorithm work in my favour too?

Again, thank you for doing this! Really appreciate it.

Hi and thanks so much for your praise!

If you honestly believe that your content is the best there is out there, I would spend some time running external promotions to it. With that being said though, you have to keep in mind that although you may be taking the time to create the best quality content out there, there’s content that may be 60-80% of your quality but YouTube is recommending it. Try and figure out as to why this is happening. Once you find that answer, you may wanna step back and focus not on just the content of your video but how you promote it.

I’d love to see your example of optimizations and give you my input on it.

How much should I pay for video editor? I just bought a new monetized channel and started hiring

1. I pay anywhere from 30-$60 for a video edit!

I don't really know where can I ask this question, so...

I decided to create videos that have free stock videos + voice-over made by me. I think it's okay but...
Will I have problems with copyright law if 90%+ of my speech has taken from Wikipedia? I just make educative content.

I made 3 vids 10-15 min each but not posted any yet, please let me know if I go through the wrong way. Thank you.

No problem!
1. You will get copyright claims if you read right off very popular websites like Wikipedia. You would have to transform the scrip. Glad to hear you’re taking action.

What is good keyword searching tool

1. The YouTube search bar is my favorite keyword research tool

What type of videos give most affiliate earnings ?

1. Videos that give value!

hi good sir @wengthemeng
I'm still in page six actually in this AMA section, but I've learned so much and really try to get more understanding because I don't have any good seo knowledge. do you mind If I see your channel ? if yes, 'plz gib me infinite knowledge' good sir.

if this one really bothering you, you can send a pm to tell me which youtube channel you have. (I prefer the funny one, I do really need a good laugh at this moment).

thanks for this AMA section in BHW.

Hey sorry but I cannot share my channel! I do appreciate the kind words though.

Thanks for the beautiful content. You are enough expert on youtube and about youtube. But I have a small request. DO not offer to use bot for generating views or subscribers. If any body is not able to generate views or subscribers than the persona can buy a very small number of views from panel: Like 100.

Keep learning! And you are most certainly welcome!

1- How do I dominate the suggested panel?
2- How do I get what is trending in countries that don't have google trends available. ( I am talking about search engine trending)
3- How do get my video suggested alongside another video of a different channel
4- What are the free tools that you recommend to a beginner.
5- How do I find the videos that went viral through search, not through subscription and suggestions.
6- Can I run a multi-niche channel?
7- Does views count have any effect on ranking?
8- can you give me some insight on how the suggestion algorithm works?

1. Create optimized content with the best CTR And watch time.
2. I’m not sure how to answer this question I apologize!
3. It has worked really well for me to use very similar keywords to other “competitors” keywords.
4. YouTube search bar, free version of VidIQ- these have been a HUGE help to my YouTube journey. For thumbnail designs, canva works as well.
5. My main source is popular instagram news accounts related to your niche and simply search for keywords within your niche and organizing it by “News” on google.

What good video editing software do you recommend for youtube?

1. My favorite is FCPX.

Would you agree that YouTube have become a lot less strict about monetization in the last year?

1. I would actually say that YouTube has become MUCH more strict about monetization.

Hey! Do you keep all of your workers separate and work with them directly or you have group chats with them?

1. I keep them all separate.

Channel A: around 3 million subs, becomes stuck at 50k-90k views per video, 200-300k views a day
Channel B: around 3 million subs, consistently hitting 1-3MM views per video, 2MM-4MM views a day

Same niche, similar upload rate, Channel A even has better quality content

Both anonymous channels with no voices as well so no personality cult factor

Why is that if not just pure luck of the algo liking one channel and capping another?

By using saying that Channel A has better quality content- I would disagree from YouTube’s/ viewers’ point of views. Clearly Channel B has the better quality content.

1. Should each channel be managed from separate IP address? How to do it? How many are safe to run from 1 IP?
2. Can Ii apply for adsense account with monetized channel that I bought?
3. Can compilation channel with no music and no voice over be used to approve for adsense?
4. Can I set channel country different that adsense country?
5. Any sources to buy monetized channel?

Thanks

1. It’s okay to manage the same channel on the same IP
2. You SHOULD NOT apply for an Adsense account using the monetized channel you bought!
3. This should not be approved.
4. I think you can (someone please confirm)
5. None that I know! Sorry!

Hello my friend i have to ask you a question i have tried to answer for a couple months

I once started a new youtube channel,creating curiosity compilation ,adding my voiceover,simple videos put together
This channel got 60 subs with 7 videos uploaded and the last one went kinda viral ( 10k views) and all the other videos also have at least 50 views,some 100 or 120...

after a few months i decided to buy a monetized channel to speed the process,i am creating better videos than the other channel,adding voice over and great animation with videoscribe,i am also promoting the videos on my Instagram niche pagee with 4000 followerspubblished 8 videos ...
and all i got is ...
40 views and 0 subscribers

Could it be possible that the monetized channel is like "blacklisted" from youtube and doesn t allow me to reach organic viewers?
Is something that can happen ?
