YouTube Journey

[Anonymous No.1471207]

I am starting a YouTube journey and I thought I'd post it here.

I started uploading video's 5 days ago and already got 10.000 views total. I have more 70 video's uploaded and I upload about 10 to 30 video's a day.

My aim is to get 1 million views a month, this would be about 1000 euro's a month I would get from adsense.

I did some calculations and I calculated that 100 video's = 10.000 views thus I would need to have 1.000.000 / 10.000 x 100 = 100 x 100 = 10.000 video's uploaded.

Since I upload an average of 15 video's a day that will take me 2 years of uploading. Than I can live of my passive income stream. Considering that if you have 10.000 video's some are bound to go viral because this is mathematically inevitable it should probably take much less time to hit 1 million views a month so my guess is at 5 months in.

Keep at it bro.

I dont think YouTube is the best platform to make money on. Videos are hard to find. The risks are high. And the ad revenue is low.

But if you've found a winning recipe and make it then it would be awesome. And people will be led to your videos by YouTube strenghtening your position.

Please link your channel. I have to see this.

[Anonymous No.1471308]

Here's the thing, if you have 10.000 video's (and this can be done hardcore mode 100 a day for 100 days) you only need about 1 to 2 views a day on every video to get 10000 to 20000 views a day. This is about 10 to 20$ a day. Of course with 10000 video's some of them are bound to become popular and thus earn you more, you'll get about 50$ to 100$ a day with this method after about 400 hours of initial work (about 4 hours a day of uploading)

I get my video's from government archives

United States government creative works, including writing, images, and computer code, are usually prepared by officers or employees of the United States government as part of their official duties. A government work is generally not subject to copyright in the United States and there is generally no copyright restriction on reproduction, derivative works, distribution, performance, or display of a government work. Unless the work falls under an exception, anyone may, without restriction under U.S. copyright laws:

Reproduce the work in print or digital form
Create derivative works
Perform the work publicly
Display the work
Distribute copies or digitally transfer the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending

>100 videos a day
Are you Webdriver Torso?

Youtube analytics favor consistent uploads, so you wouldn't be able to live off of it for very long. It'd be better to pace it. I don't know how much viral content you'll get out of government archives. You'd be better off making top 10 videos or social experiments.

I get 100 euro from 1 million views

most of my traffic in spanish unfortunately... i dont know how to get the usa kids watching my shit

im making videos that have no text so they can potentially go viral worldwide

i only have few videos but high quality original content, so i get a lot of views and a good following, problem is rate is low, like 0,65

is the ip you upload from relevant? what matters to rank a video in the usa?

I hate arrogant fucks who believe that by making Youtube videos, you are entitled to receive money. No, you better create original content. You better create good content. And you must be able to hold people's attention.
If your sole purpose of making videos is to make money, you are doing it wrong and people are going to see right through it.
Don't do Let's Plays. Don't do Unboxing vids. Don't do Make-up tuts. Don't do reviews. Don't do the Leafy-esque drama shit. Don't 'vlog' unless you are a very very interesting person and have a very very interesting medium to do these boring videos on. Maybe if you had a time machine to 2007, you could do these videos, but I guarantee you will go nowhere.

I don't make YouTube video's, the government makes them and I upload them.

I am now 5 days in and I got 143 video's uploaded and 10 organic subscribers. About 10 of my video's have more then 500 views and 1 got more then 3000.

What's your keyword or title strategy?
Do you post any links off-site or are you relying simply on people searching for the topics related to the videos?

Now you probably won't want to answer, but what video or topic is getting the most traffic? Any speculation why?

[Anonymous No.1472584]

>>1472414
If you want to live off adsense being like Leafy is exactly what you want to do.
He gets the same views as quality content creators and it only takes him 5 hours to crank out a video.
This is speculation, but I'd assume you could make more money than him if you lived off Patreon though.

Cause the revenue would be shit.
Once I have 10.000 video's and if enable it THEN, I will make 10 bucks a day with it immediately. If I enable it now, I make maybe 10 cents a day with the risk of losing adsense completely if I get copyright strikes.

I'm not into this for a short term gain.

Update

So I have 285 video's uploaded now and looking at my statistics I already get 1000 views a day on average since I started.

This is going to be much easier than I thought. If 285 video's mean 1000 views a day than some calculations give me that i only need 2850 video's for 10.000 views a day! This would mean that with 10.000 video's I would get 35.000 views a day, with adsense enabled that is about 35$ a day.

I did an accurate count and I am 10 days in now, with 11000 views, so thats more than 1000 views a day already. My aim is 10000 views a day for now so that´s about 100 days in.

I make this thread because it keeps me on track and so that you can follow this experiment.

Pic = views of my top videos

This is a long term project and I won't enable ads yet because I value my adsense account + the revenue I would make now would be of no use to me. I will enable it when I have between 1000 to 10000 video's because than I can get a useful amount of revenue from it. There's always a risk of losing your adsense due to whatever reason so in the time that I ahve it enabled and I have the account I want to make as much as possible and for that I need a lot of video's.

League of Legends

Shit game, yea, but it gets watched by a bunch of 12 years olds. Buy a good microphone for 200 bucks, put on a deep voice, modify that voice with some software and try to be funny. Record in 1080p (60 fps if your pc can handle it).
