my youtube journey 2024

so finally after 2 months and 30 video uploaded
I have hit 500 sub and 100K views and 4000 watch hour. I am happy to be approve of youtube partner program today
I need another 500 sub to get real revenue probably it will be by end of the year
I have spend 200 hours on this. I have premade video for the next 2 week. I upload every alternate day
each video take me 3-4 hours

This channel is all done thru white hat and no blackhat. no buying sub, no buying view or watch hour

my advice for everyone starting out. just because you are new doesnt mean youtube will not give you a chance
my channel is not about ranking. None of my video except a few probably has some keyword to rank for. I can say 95% of my video my title is something nobody would search for

every new channel youtube will give you a chance to show on the homepage so your first 3 - 5 video is the most important. if you miss this I suggest you to start all over again

To succeed here is my advice
your thumbnail is probably the most important. When it appear on youtube home page for other user the thumbnail is the first thing they see, so the thumbnail must be clickbait, second the user will see your title so it must also clickbait. Dont use the title on the thumbnail it will be a waste. youtube know what your video is about as long as there is spoken words unless you are doing rain sound than youtube might not know what your video is about
now then you have thumbnail and title as clickbait
the user click on your video the first 30 seconds dont ask them to subscribe it will just push other away, in fact the first 30 seconds you must hook them to continue, youtube analyse a video if the user stay for more than 30 seconds or not, it doesnt matter if your video is 10 mins or 2 hours long.
finally to really succeed your content must be related to your thumbnail and your title since you clickbait them to click and your video must be good.

that is what I do since 1st september
good luck
I have been making video everyday

will be start a new channel on another niche soon

How many videos did you uploaded?

How many videos did you uploaded?
about 40 long form and about 20 shorts. the last 400 sub I uploaded some copyright shorts which i should not do as the shorts wasnt as relevant to my long so now my traffic seem to be lagging i have to catch up on the long
 
All your efforts will not be in vain. I wish you all the best.
the copyright shorts did went viral and gain me subscriber even now it is still getting subscribe. I regretted it. Now I am trying to go back to my most popular video and make a few more for this week hoping the youtube algorithm will get back the view

So now focus on long videos? It seems that combining both types of videos will quickly achieve monetization. right?
 
actually my shorts overtake my long, my shorts gain 600 sub in less than a week and I just realise we can monetise shorts without need 10M views
 
congratulations
 
I have been on and off youtube but never really take youtube seriously. I have a fully monetised youtube channel and along the way I created more youtube channel and even buying monetised youtube channel
everyone of us including myself we want to make money from the start so buying a monetised channel seem right or if not than creating a rain sound video and buying 1000 subscribe and 4000 hours seem to be the way to get a channel monetised whether you think it is blackhat or not



sometime last month I came across a very interesting niche and I saw 2 channel actively doing it. I was looking at viral video all the time or those ai tools that can generate video with 1 click
scripts we can use chatgpt or even some ai tools come built in with a bot all you need is to throw in a prompt and a video is out but seriously when you look at the output if it is in 2014 that type of video is great but in 2024 it is very far off.
I have subscription to pictory, flexclip, capcut pro and a couple of others but none really can fit in

I decided to setup a brand new channel last month and I start posting my very first video on the 1st september 2024
it wasnt really a well made video in my personal opinion but it was good to get me started the video get me only 26 views as of today
my 2nd video was really ok or good in my opinion but 1 thing is the volume is too soft and I only realise it after uploading it so it didnt get a lot of view either 10- 20 views (I deleted the video a few days later and adjust the volume and reupload back and it has now 600+ views)
my 3rd video I really put in effort to do it to be exact it take about 4-5 hours per video

and I was about to give up and suddenly my video get pick up my youtube it wasnt much, if you recall my 1st and 2nd video get about 20 views each my 3rd video get 200+ views

everything i learn in the past keyword search volume, tags keyword keyword. In this channel I use another tricks or not sure if that help but i did not focus on any keyword or tags. I didnt spend my time on keyword research tags or description (all is generated by chatgpt) and it is all not targetted keyword and nobody would be searching for those keywords either.
this channel I do 0 keywords research. I wanted youtube to pick up my video naturally and not the old way of ranking video
dont get me wrong keyword is good for tutorial video, how to video, travel video, review video as people generally search for this video but this new channel the keyword is not really what someone would be searching for.
I look at my competitor, looking at their title and tags it was a bunch of rubbish that noone will search (it is not a big channel 10 - 50k sub) but they get 10K view within the first day usually

my focus was to let youtube pick up my video and push it out and not trying to rank
so it was a different ball game narturally
my 3rd video was showing me 200+ views on the first day which was when I was about to give up. So I tell myself why not let do 1 more. So I spend another 4 hours to do a really good video now in my opinion it can be compare to the bigger channel. I start with 3 subscriber which is my own account. I refuse to buy subscriber and fake views as I know fake subscriber and fake view will only confuse youtube algorithm as youtube will not know your precious target group

my 4 video suddenly get pick up by youtube even more and it hit 2k views in the first day, if you look at the screenshot, you can see all my view is from youtube recommendation, only 1.4% come from youtube search which i do not know what keywords they search for nor am I interested in it. I only wanted to get on youtube recommendation
so that 2k prompted me to do another high quality video another 4 hours, and it was another good start with 600 views and all is coming from youtube recommendation

I was publishing video every mon wed fri took the weekend break
the channel was at 3 subscriber (myself) to now it has 36 subscriber.

My conclusion the subscriber base is not equivalent to number of views you get.
I still need 1000 sub and 4000 watch hour to get it monetised. Was a little tired in creating the video.
I was using chatgpt for the content title descriptions and tags and most other I have to handmade the video and use a couple of tts
I dont know how long I can persist

I might update this thread when I need a small break or I may not. so the key for this channel was not about ranking and optimising keyword it is about getting into youtube recommendation. when youtube pick up your video and if it is good, viewer stay and like and you get more and it is a vicious cycle. my focus now is to do good quality video but it was burning out my time and I was not making money from this at all yet

cheers everyone and have a good youtube journey I dont know if I can make it thru to 100 videos I am at my number 5th video and was planning the scripts now for the 6th video
price please
 
price please
what price you can buy a monetise channel for as little as $150 from account market. you need to understand this are bot channel and the sub is all bot and from india Bangladesh or some wierd country. even if it is USA sub it is still bot. you can buy but the channel will be flag by youtube right from the start you might need a lot of time to grow it and may give up before you start to see result
 
I finally start to make some money. I just turn on monetisation a few days ago. I think the earning was delay but yesterday I check it was $4 and today it is $25. I check my bulk earning come from a viral youtube shorts. Now I am in a tough situation. the channel start with long form video in mind which i did have decent traffic. but i tested out some shorts last week and I can say 50% of my shorts hit the viral spot. but the shorts was not so related to my channel. now my long form is getting back views,. but i am posting some shorts again
because if the sub is not watch your long video when you released your CTR drop and that is bad for channel

Congrats on your success. It's a really nice start. Is the revenue mostly coming from shorts or long form?
 
Keep it up man. I thought it would be almost impossible to start now due to everyone having a big audience. Seems almost impossible to rank

at first it was coming from my shorts mainly cos I got 1 shorts hit viral with 350K view and another shorts hits 100K view but that is before i turn on monetization. but at first the bulk of money was from shorts. now I check back my long video just uploaded 2 days after monetisation and have 2500 views but earning was $13
I would say long video earning was higher but shorts hit viral easily
I am doing both now, target both side

I am planning on my next channel that target only shorts as i find shorts is very easy to hit viral

Keep it up man. I thought it would be almost impossible to start now due to everyone having a big audience. Seems almost impossible to rank
i think it is harder now but not impossible what i have learn is more of did youtube push it to the audience rather than target keywords. my channel is still not targeting keyword, it is still from youtube recommendation. if youtube dont push your content your channel is basically gone. a good thumbnail and title is the first step follow by the quality content. Like i say this channel initially i was give it a shot and planning to do 5 high quality video. the first 2 video did not pick up, the 3rd video start to hit viral as in 2000 views which is great and give me the momentum but my sub was growing extremely slow. I was gaining like 10 - 20 sub a day until i start to do shorts it was growing a lot. now my channel is going 100 sub everyday and most sub come from my shorts
 
Nice, any update? do you have any copyright issues?

great! i am also doing this with one of my channels but I uploaded only shorts and got 4k views not bad in starting waiting to create long video on that channel all was done by AI but editing was done by me, I hope i will also join this journey with you

sad news my channel got demonetised because i was just reposting shorts without editing
big mistake
so now i have to wait 90 days to apply monetisation again
so at this stage i wasnt posting every other day. i have reduce to 1 video a week as I see no point to build up


what i am doing next is i am buying a monetised channel as i say it is a bad idea especially the sub and views is all botted but i am going to try the same trick i use to build my this channel and see if i can get it on youtube home. like i say i am only aiming at youtube home and recommendation

the next channel i havent think of any niche yet
i was thinking

true crime story
true ghost story

but both niche the video creation is not going to be easy so i have to look for another niche
