Hey guys,


Back here to update you on a new journey I’ve embarked. I wanted to do something with TikTok, but since the whole craze of it shutting down, I’d rather play my cards safe and try something else in the meanwhile. That being said, I want to try doing YouTube.


For many years I’ve been a consumer of YouTube, but never really a consistent publisher. There was only one problem - I don’t have the time to actually make high quality, original & unique videos.


For starters, to get into the YouTube Partnership program, I need 4000 hours watchtime and 1000 subscribers. Planning to purchase both of these from SMM panels, costing around $100 in total. They’ll be distributed over a week, which will be the 2nd week of me posting videos. I’m pretty wary of YouTube and how they ban people left and right, so I want to do my best to make my growth seem somewhat legit. I’ll have my own branding, maybe intros and outros, that sort of thing. I guess social media might be pretty good too. That could help with relatively free traffic, I’d just need to invest more capital into first followers for authority and time for content.


Moving on to the main part - the content. To be honest, I’m not 100% sure of what I want to do with this. Furthermore, I’m posting this journey to see if any of you guys have an idea of what could be posted. It HAS to be in the finance niche, since that’s one of the best paying niches. I was thinking of inspirational videos, voiceovers and guides. Just simply copy someone elses guide, make your own clickbait thumbnail/title and see what happens. On the SMM panel, I also saw an option to buy views which are supposedly good for ranking. Also, I’m going to look around for a YouTube analysis tool, see whats doing best keyword/trend wise and so on.

Lastly, I'm not sure, but I'd say a rough estimate of financial channel CPM's is $10-14. This means, taking the average - 12 - and doing some math, I come to the conclusion that I need 83k views per month, 2.7k a day. Seems a little out of reach. However, $500/mo, which is 41.5k views monthly or 1.3k views daily seems more plausible, especially if you have a lot of videos in keywords that are constantly being searched.

All in all, that’s about it. I’ll see what I can do and update you guys in this thread :)


Don’t hesitate to ask, suggest or correct anything!


Kind regards,
Thomas
 
Since you are planning to use SMM services for monetization of channel and ranking, just try to make everything looks natural and you should be fine. indeed, inspirational videos in finance niche with monetization and some affiliate links can generate a good income for you.
Keep us updated.

Hey, guys!

Back with a little update here - week 1 is in action!

What am I going to do this week?

Download a BUNCH of videos. Since I want to make my growth seem somewhat legit, I'll start posting this week, and only buy the watch-time and subscribers next week. I've come down to two methods I can use for content - creative commons videos and edited videos. Creative commons is a lot easier - I can just literally reupload them. I'll need to make clickbait titles and nice thumbnails, but that should be relatively easy. I'm thinking of pumping out 1-3 videos per day. For starters, I'm downloading a bunch of inspirational videos & finance guide videos. These will all be creative commons, so I'll be able to monetise and reupload them with no issues. However, I was thinking - if I want better quality videos, so people stay and actually watch them - I'll need to edit the videos themselves. IDK what technically counts as "editing/reacting to the video where its enough not be striked", but I'll find out more about that during this week. For now, I just gotta figure out which SMM panel is the best, download a bunch of videos, get the tags right and start uploading :)

Will keep you guys posted, I'll try do biweekly updates on this thread!
 
Nice journey. Good luck :)


Also, for finance, you can also break down some complex topics and explain them in simpler terms. Animations help a lot. You can even make series of multiple videos.

Try to keep your description as informational as possible. Apparently that quite helps with rankings these days.
 
I would say good luck but success is 98% skill and hard work, with 2% luck in my opinion.

You got this!
