[Journey] How I made a new channel, earned $$ with YT views, and flipped for $$$$ within 7 months - using Reddit

Tools used - 5 USD mobile tripod from Amazon, my phone to record videos, Canva free tool to create thumbnails, and in-shot to edit videos. (I am a noob with editing)
I have a collection of free audio to be used (You can also make it by downloading free items monthly from Themeforest, where you’ll get images, themes, music, video template, etc.)

Long Post - TLDR Alert;

One fine day, I was sitting with my friend who runs a store for budgies, and we were talking about how to bring leads/sales from YT, as many guys are newbies and do research via YT only. This gave me an idea about creating and flipping channel

Step 1 -

I started with the research, what people are searching exactly on YT (What is the competition and who all are leading it)
Tools used - Keywordtool.io, manual search

Step 2 -

Exploring channels to promote - IG, FB, Pinterest but the competition was everywhere.

My limited knowledge Analysis -
IG -
Pros - A lot of scopes to get reel viral, easy to grow accounts.
Con’s - People won’t direct much to YT as my key goal was to get views and then monetize and flip.

FB -
Pros - Good set of active groups are already present for (UK & US region - my target sector)
Con’s - They prefer videos to be uploaded in the group itself than YT.

Tumblr -
Pros - It was ideal for my target audience + it easy to find expired Tumblr accounts
Con’s - They prefer text over videos.

Pinterest -
Pro’s - Highest user base community, created a board and got many followers.
Con’s/Failure - I got many shares, but I failed to convert them to YT.

Reddit -
Pros: A lot of Reddit with active users are present, where they ask doubts often.

Step 3 -

I decided to go with Reddit, started analyzing the queries, and made a list of active users in Excel.
Further, I used to click on profile links of active members (those who usually create threads) and made a list of relevant subreddits. Also, many questions were left open and used to give me an idea about my next content creation.

Step 4 -

I used to post my videos in such threads and subreddits (not every time I was using YT, sometimes I used the direct uplion to make it genuine)

(I got this from one of the followers on Insta, and I posted it, I got some good upvotes and a list of interested users, and I built my list accordingly)

Step 5 -

Managed to get 90 Mn views with 89 Videos

Channel Name - https://www.youtube.com/@Pet_flix/about (272k followers)

You can see how noob I am with editing

If I can do it with 0 knowledge, you can too!

Given that the vast majority of views on a channel derive from shorts, the potential earnings from monetization may be limited, with a possible maximum of $100.

How much you flipped it for? How you found the buyer?

Nice one mate, just had a look at your channel and it shows you gave it a lot of time and effort. This just goes to show that sometimes not so good action is better than no action. Yes, the editing could be better but screw it, you got the views!

Did you boost your reddit posts with upvotes or was everything organic?
