How To Never Run Out Of YouTube Video Topics: It hadn't never run out a YouTube video topics. If you're a content creator, you do anything online. This is something that you have thought about before because once you get into Groovy gotcha system going, you want to make sure that you have something to talk about or maybe you don't even have a groove or system at all because you don't know what you'd want to talk about. There are so many easy ways to do this, but I'm just showing you two right here, 12122 right here, that anybody could do it. You follow these directions which will always give you ideas and inspiration for how to find video topics. The first thing you can do is something that we've all done is you can go to Google now that sounds like some generic info, but who owns you too? Google. If you need to make YouTube video topics, why not go to the company that owns them, alphabet and asked him, you type your keyword into Google. You're going to see all this news and also the stuff that pops up. But I don't really want you to focus on there so much, which is scroll all the way down to the bottom. And I want you to see the related searches under that keyword and see what everyone else is talking about. If you had a great things about doing this, this way is free. You can do it anywhere and you know, as real-time, this is Google. People are using Google non-stop. And if you're able to see what they're searching for real-time, That's unbelievable free data. So make sure it should take advantage of that. Now, for those yada, I want to go a little bit deeper. They're really want to get the root of what people are actually searching for a YouTube, your content is really optimized. We're going to go to the screen. I'm gonna show you exactly what I do to find video topics and then never run out of them. So here we are inside to screen. This is my vidIQ, vidIQ.com whacking, telling me y'all, please go download that. It's such a crucial YouTube SEO tool. I have a link for it. Click DAG, get it. When I want to get video topics, what I'll do is I'm on my dashboard, I go to keyword opportunities and right here you can see the search prompt, search keywords, I'm a type something and so I know it doesn't get a lot of traction. So let's type in NFT. Now what you can see right here is an overview of what's going on with NFT. That keyword they have a search volume has very high. Competition is keda high, but because of search volume is so high, has a high overall score of 62. This is a good topic to do videos on it. You have related keywords. This is only paying too much of this. I want you to look at this. You have matching terms and questions. As you can see, there's some continuity here, but I want you to come up here to the questions you can click and view all 300 questions. And these are the questions that people are typing in under this keyword with the search value. This is such a great way for people to have topics to talk about forever. Because look at this. You can see the search volume, you can see the competition going all the way down. I doubt anybody Omeka as many videos about NMT is, but you can do this for any of your keywords. So it makes you download that IQ and put those keywords in there and get these topics. So that way you're never jammed up. You always have a way to give value to your audience. 4. How To Write YouTube Video Scripts: How to write video scripts that get views. This was a very tough section to write. I have studied this extensively. I've written thousands of YouTube scripts at this point. What I've learned is that you have to be comfortable with yourself. What do I mean by that? You have to get comfortable about how you look, how you sound, how you dress, your setup. You have to be comfortable with how you're gonna be conveyed on camera because it doesn't matter what type of scripts you have. If you aren't comfortable with that, the message just isn't going to resonate with the audience right now. This is all off the top. I didn't write any of this down. I asked him general notes, but I use those notes for a description, for the comments, for an e-book later for a blog pulse, because it's really organized. I use this time to really connect. And the great thing about filming YouTube videos and having scripts is if you mess something up, you can you can edit it and bring you back in when you're writing your scripts, I want you to think about yourself. Are you somebody who always needed outlines when it was time to write papers in school, then approached her YouTube scripts the exact same way. Are you a person that is not really that good at writing, but you can think of stuff off the top of your head, but it gives you yourself general notes and just be yourself. There's no rules to this, but people make it so difficult like there's an exact science to writing a YouTube script is not. You're talking to an audience about a topic you're passionate about, just let it free flow. But with all of that said, here are the things that I do inside of my YouTube scripts when I try to make it structure, the first thing I do in my YouTube scripts that I have an attention grabbing. This used to be me doing silly stuff like when I'm filming right now and I'm like smack the mind Rom, I get really close like this and go back and point. Or I might dig my nose or something like that. I used to do that to capture people's attention when it was primarily long-form videos and what Short Form took off. I learned this a different way to capture people's attention with the information. This is what short form content is taught me now when my intro is, it might be a stop or MIB. I started the video off what a YouTube short and add short has information might be a countdown, might be a checklist that draws people in my intro screen and didn't allow foreign video. Here's a little bonus tip as well. In your introduction, makes sure to tell them what you're going to talk about inside of the law foreign video, what does does is it sets anticipation and it makes them stick around. The longer they stick around, the longer your session time is your watch time in the more ads are gonna watch, the higher likelihood of sugar to make more money. Another thing I really try to do in my inch roles for videos that I didn't know I needed him to stay around for awhile, is I let the audience know what the video is going to be about. What this does is assess anticipation and it makes them look forward to what's coming up next is like when you watch the Grammys and they say Drake is performing later on, Kanye West and I want you to watch the entire show. You can watch ads. You need to treat your YouTube videos the exact same way. So in your intro, let them know what you're gonna be talking about, which is the crown jewel of your video and asked him, I said expectations and they're gonna stick around for a while. Number two, branding after your attention-grabbing intro, this is the perfect time to interject your brand. You are all YouTube to amplify your brand. Yes. You want to help people? Yes. You want to make people laugh? Yes. You wanted to start a fitness campaign? Yes. You want to pop in YouTube channel. You want to be on billboards, you want to win awards. But at the end of the day, the only way you could do any of those things that if you use it to amplify your brand after your intro catches their attention, they're gonna be locked in to your video because they want to know what your crown jewel is. That next thing is going to be vital. This is where we inject our intro screen, my ducks, swans, welcome to the pond, because that is our slogan. It sticks in people's heads is quick and let people know what this video's about. Who group 82 years. And now they're in a group, a two zone while they're watching the rest of the video, everybody does is EA Sports is in the game, Netflix. When you log in to make sure that they brand themselves, you need to be thinking about doing the exact same thing. And I always do this right after the intro. Number three, the body. This is like the human body. The body of YouTube videos is as different as it can get its based on a myriad of factors. What's show business goals? What keywords did you use? What's the topic of the video? Wins the video being recorded. What's the weather outside? Like? All types of stuff that you got to be thinking about, what you write in the body of that video in addition to your creativity, it might be a how-to video. That day you might be feeling kind of funny and this might be how to put together a tombstone for your mother. You probably can't be funny in it, or maybe you can go viral. You got to think about what is it that I'm in the mood for right now that's going to serve the audience for all the bodies of my videos. I had sort of a format. It Bill was the interview reaction. I made sure I had my dogs mouse wants its row screen. I went right into my reaction to the interview. I make sure I gave my audience three tips. That way is set to anticipation and expectation that they need to stick around. So that was that format. But if I'm doing a video about Bitcoin or about NF2 is more of an educational format. I got to make sure that I keep the audience attention every ten to 15 seconds. So we felt doing a more educational video that's going to be an entirely different format. And it's based on what I'm talking about. If I'm educating people about digital marketing, I could put up a bunch of examples in the video. It can be kind of dynamic from educating people on how to invest in stocks. I can spice that up, but you really need to know the fundamentals of debt. And there's only so much that I can really do. So that's gonna affect the body too. So my suggestion for all of this is to go to vid IQ and look at what the trending videos are under your keyword right now. And look at the format and read the comments and studied a competition to see what's already when you were a lot of different videos that I went viral, YouTube rely on different body types, but there still are common denominators you could take from each one. So go to your research for your trending topic, and I'll give you a much better idea where to start if you make in the body of your video, inside of the body of your video, this is when you want to deliver the crown jewel. This is when you want to give them that piece of information that they had been waiting for? If you go to my YouTube channel, you look in my video, How much did 13 million YouTube views pay me? You can see how I said that U2 short up. I gave them the crown jewel at the end of the video, which for short is essentially the body because it cuts off. We'll talk about that a little bit late before your lawn for videos, make sure you give them the crown jewel in the body because that's where they came near. Four, that's going to set you up for the next step, number four, connection. This is one of the most underrated, under utilize unbeknown parts of the YouTube Creator user relationships. Someone typed in a keyword into Google because you've optimized his video doing everything that you've learned from us. You now have someone who was in your pipeline based on that topic. You all have a similar interests because you made a video about that topic. They were looking for that topic. Now they're here. They are grateful to you now because you've given them so much. And it's social psychology. This is when you want to implement the law of reciprocity. What's the law of reciprocity? Let's say that every month starting this moth for the next 60 months, which is five years, I gave you $1000 for no reason. Every month. Vows. Dao, Dao, Dao, Hey, I want your money no more thousand arima, when most 61 columns. If I asked you for $200, what are you going to say to me? I've given you a $1000 for 60 miles straight and now I'm asking you for is $200 once you go and give me that at the drop of a hat, as the law of reciprocity U2 works the exact same way. You gave them the information they were searching for. Now, this is their towns rewards you and what you need to do, you need to prime them to rewards you, you need to tell them who you are, needs held and why this topic interests you. You need to open up about your personality. You need to let people know about your brand and why you did all these things. This is we need to connect with them and let the user know that you were just like them when we were making long-form video content for group aid to music.com. I knew I was speaking to wrappers and producers and I knew they were independent and I knew they had big dreams. I knew they wanted plaques and I knew they wanted to get paid from the music. That's why I said everything up back here the way that I did. And that was a time in a video where I will connect with them. I know what it's like to pay $2 thousand for a music video you posted on YouTube and it gets 35 views. I know all of that pain and I can tell you this, that is why my brand was able to go the way it did at the velocity idea because I use this time to connect number five, call to action. Once you connect with your audience, now they're listened to you. Now they realize they are more like you than ever before. Now they are going to do whatever you tell them to do. And this is your time to drive that traffic somewhere, who's going to benefit you? It could be another YouTube video. It can be to your website, to your e-book, to your course, to your podcast, to your album, wherever he is you want to go, this is your time. You have earned this audience, not a trust shoe, because you've connected with them, because you open note to them. Now you need to use this to benefit your business. So make sure you put a call to action here because people do what other people tell them to do on the internet. I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth. Make sure you listen to this next tip, number six and outro. If you do your call to action, right, your altro is built-in and you can smoothly just walk out. For some people, there might be another outro or there might be another philosophy behind the altro, YouTube Altos economy controversial. The reason being is because of the metric known as average view duration, AVD. Average view duration is the average completion percentage of people who watch a video for law, for videos, 75% is an amazing AVD for short form videos, seventy-five percent won't even get you on his shorts feed as like nothing because ADD became such a heavy metric debt, YouTube used to push you in the algorithm. A lot of law foreign creators do when they enter videos is they might just cut off abruptly because if you start having our SRO, Eli, hey guys, check me out on Instagram, check me out on top. If you're interested in my email is done is what I usually do. We get CS6 to the video, usually click off. So if you ended abruptly, everybody's house watching a video at the exact same time. So your AVD is through the roof with that say U2 node when you're trying to game num, side note, don't ever try to game YouTube. They know everything. And also, at the end of a video, if you say, Hey, follow me on Instagram and follow me on same time. If you're interested in more news like this or more tips like just get on my e-mail list. Those things can draw a serious revenue TO brand. Those things can build your other platform. If you made a great video, Let's go end up getting millions of views down the line. You can keep sending people to the same place organically. To the end of time. The altro is up to you how you want to do it. 5. How To Film YouTube Videos On Your Own: Out to film YouTube videos on your own. When I was taking the bus, said No, my own production studio that thought was terrifying. I had watched a lot of these behind the scene YouTube videos and even though they made it really simple, I felt like it wasn't I felt like I was not technologically savvy in that regard. I didn't know how to take care of this type of equipment. So I was terrified man when he came to setting all that stuff, I learned very quickly that just like anything in his YouTube process, it can be done very simply ineffective if you're comfortable with who you are when you're setting up your production studio, work with what you've got. If you got cameras and lights and wires and monitors, and speakers and all this stuff, roll with it. If you've got an iPhone in some books, put it up there because the quality of the video is not as important as you think. I'm not saying you can lump it in, but it's not as important as you think when it comes to getting subscribers views and growing your chat to prove the ya'll is not as important as you think I'm gonna do something I've never done before. I'm gonna give you a tour of my studio. I'm literally going to show you my setup. In this setup is a setup that got me to 200 thousand subscribers and it got me to a 100 million views. And it's slightly upgraded from what it was before. It. Even with these upgrades, you're still going to see how simple this is and how you don't need to make it over-complicate it. Here we are. This is what I see when I'm recording this, my entire setup. I'm walking out through and show you how everything, some stuff I know exactly about some things I don't, but just to emphasize what you have is not that important nor to space. This is my office, kind of my studio kind of workroom. Got a bit of here through the family downstairs. I come up here and I get it in. And this is an upgrade from what I had before. So once again, I was able to have a lot of success on YouTube without a lot for the Run. Now, before we get into it, this I MET is new. You don't need that. And worried about that. He Bluetooth speakers are new. You don't need those. I'm worried about that. This desk, I love it. It's new. But don't worry about that. I hadn't ikea desk before that. Let's get started. The microphone. I love this as a sure. S7, if I'm not mistaken, was about 200 bucks, is that Guitar Center and also had an arm, the bus separately, which is probably about a 100 bucks, very easy to set up. The mic literally goes right into this arm and then you can screw it on, makes everything good. This is an XLR cable. You can get that at Walmart at Best Buy, a Guitar Center as well. Any mic that is like this is going to need an XLR cable, goes into one end, very easy to plug in and it comes out the opposite in, and it goes into an interface. This is very easy set of two is a scarlet 212 interface, basically entry-level interface for anybody who's trying to make music or do u2. Xlr cable plugs right in, That's easy. This other chord that's my headphones is all I have plugged in all the time for every YouTube video, those two simple, super-simple these lights. No, none of that light like that. But I learned that this setup works well. Once again, I was able to have success. That light came from Walmart, 20 bucks. These two lights came from Walmart, but for ten bucks each tripod right here because cameras on K for Walmart about 20 hours. This is a Canon EOS Rebel SL2. Got to notice that specifications. So that's where somebody's Canon cameras. This is about 550 bucks. I got it from Best Buy. Great camera. I've had it for about five years now. Bought around the same time that ball, those LiveSafe all lasted the same time. So great camera for anybody who's just getting started. But once again, if you have an iPhone, just do that. This light right here came from Home Depot. It's about 50 bucks. It has a charging pad, which is great when he charged my devices and it has a USB cord port from the back. That was great when my desk was smaller by the hookup or plug up things in order to make sure that your film, this huge light in the back, I just got a couple of weeks ago off of Amazon when we wanted to upgrade the studio, as one of my quote, unquote upgrades about 80 bucks. This chair was a quote, unquote upgrade. Not gonna tell you how much it costs because it's not necessary. You do not cause there, but I had a whole depo chair that was about a 100 bucks. It was cold but he got worn out. Don't go over 300 bucks or the chair man raping boys off. I'll pay way too much for that. These lights are part of the best investment that I made. I got them for Walmart domain, my bower. I got this tripod for Walmart. I forget who was made by what the state can kill whenever one more it gets down. But these change colors and I got three of them. Got all these staying in bed over the areas really how artists get it in and shock them are ours and know how we do it. These lights are phenomenal at it, so much texture to the YouTube videos once we implemented them. So I would highly suggest getting him, but yeah, I'll see man, it don't take much man. 6. How To Hire Video Editors For YouTube: How to hire video editors for you to whatever you're doing right now. If you are serious about this YouTube thing, I want you to stop. We should really pay attention to this because this is the backbone for my entire YouTube career. I don't want to edit videos long-form, no idea. And this has always been the case. It's not like I learned that and I forgot, but I knew if I wanted to have a presence on YouTube, videos edited. So how was I able to put out so many videos without knowing how to edit them myself? Step number one, I approached YouTube video making the same way I approach music-making. I'm the talent, I'm the creative. Hire someone else to handle all the technical stuff. When I rap, I go to studio, hire an engineer. I feel videos, I hired editor, and that's how I approached it. Now there's pros and cons to this and I will talk about, but I'm gonna give you the entire step-by-step process of how we hired our video editors, which allow me to build this back catalog of YouTube videos that's gonna make me forever money. The first thing I did is I made my company group AT to an LLC. I did this for a myriad of reasons, but the primary reason that's relevant to this topic right here is because LLCs have to be registered with the state. Once you register with the state, you can have interns. This is huge. Colleges, universities, trade schools, tech schools, people that just want to learn new skills that accompanies are looking for interns. So you have an opportunity to get early developmental video adding services for free. Now, like I said, they're early services. So before you do that, make sure you read the internship laws in your state and your country and make sure you abide by them because they can get really tricky. Step number two, after we set up an LLC, we posted a job at YouTube video editor. We did this for a number of reasons. Number one, these job sites, no matter which one you want to use, they already have a built-in algorithm and audience. There's no reason to really set up something on your website. We can just embed that number to YouTube, video, YouTube, which is own brand. When you put video editor in the algorithm on these job sites, you're going to be competing with a lot of other companies. We didn't put a YouTube video editor. You're gonna be competing with a few companies a year, really going to get people who want to edit for video, which leads me to number three, adding YouTube videos is a lot different than anything else that you're gonna do inside of the video editing. We want our video editor to know what they were gonna be doing before they even apply. Therefore, putting a term U2 right there, served as that purpose, the doorstep. Anyone who applied to our posting, we sit them pretty interview questions and no matter who it was, it was very basic questions. Do you have an Internet connection and a smart phone? Do you use u to k? You speak English, any of these basic questions that we need it just so we can see a weekend communicate with them if they didn't answer those questions within 24 hours like we told them to inside of the bottom of the email. Another thing you can do, we didn't respond to them. If they didn't go one by one and answer the questions we asked them to. We didn't respond to them if they responded with any nodes because all of those were yes questions I need to answer. We didn't respond to them. If we let them know, Hey, we're not looking to hire somebody right now. Whatever it is you want to do, whatever you need for your company and your internship, makes sure that you have those questions in some sort of pre-interview format because people do not read job postings. So make sure you can vet these people before you take them down to interview process. When we were going through the interview process, what we look for with our video editing interns was there. They are professional. They showed up on time if they knew how to use a video chat feature, if they can speak English and if they knew what they were talking about, these interviews were not to see if they were the best editors of all time. These interviews were not to see it. We're going to hire them full-time down align these interviews words to see if we can even work with them because we knew that we were getting interns, you will be surprised if you vet people just off those metrics alone, how many people will eliminate themselves from your selection pool, which makes it a lot easier for you. The four-step that we do before we hire a video interns is after the interviews done, we send them an audition video. The audition videos we film a long form piece of content and they have to replicate it like our YouTube videos that are on our channel right now as closely possibly can we give them access to our digital assets like logos, colors, instruction guides, things like that. And they have 48 hours to get it back to us because that is the deadline that we operate on with our long-form editors. This is another way to vet these edits to see if they have the work ethic, if they had the skills that they have the organization and if they want to do it. Because if you get someone who was answered all those pre-interview questions, who showed up for an interview, who was able to be there long time and due to video chat, convey and articulate themselves well enough where it can be a video editor taken your raw video content, made their own video incentive back to you, you guys, Somebody is probably gonna be a pretty good editor. Once you do that, Congratulations. Not only do you have a new editor, you also have a free piece of content you can post if you're comfortable with that. Now, once you hire enters, your job is not done. You just start. You now have to manage them and their humans, they aren't robot and these are in turns. Lot of times these might be people, agents, 18 to 25. This is not their primary job. They have other responsibilities, they have other things they want to do. Date might just be doing this because it's a hobby and I think he is cool. This is your business. You have to understand. You get what you're paying for right now. You're not paying. So therefore, there's gonna be an extra level of care and management in patients and coaching. That shortcoming to need to have with these editors. And you're a human being too. I went off the rails plenty of time, but I also had to bring myself back in, humble myself and make sure I understood that these adders, we're working for me. They were doing me a favor. They were helping build my business. I tried to be as fair to him as I possibly could. It's a tough gig. But if you get some good at and interns, you're able to pump out content like nobody's business. And that will really make you and channel grow at an exponential rate. 7. How To Create Great YouTube Thumbnails: How to create great YouTube thumbnails. You don't know why I did that. Probably the most important piece of YouTube metadata debt exists because it's the one that we see as the one that is still ranks very high in their algorithms. Your YouTube thumbnail is of vital importance and it has progressed drastically over the years, is going to continue to progress. This section of the video is not going to be an art to do all about how to make YouTube thumbnails. I'm not gonna give you that. There's gonna be a marketing to do all about your YouTube thumbnails because I do not care how well they are designed. If you don't do certain things, people are going to scroll right past the point of a YouTube thumbnail is not to have it hanging up in some Museum of Fine Art in New York City, in the art district. I don't know if that's a real thing. It's so people can click on your video. Here are a few items and not think makes for a great YouTube thumbnail. Number one, bold and direct thought, I'm looking at YouTube thumbnails and give me an idea about the video. The title is the first thing I'm going to read with a thumbnail is gonna give me a little bit more. There are things that you can't put inside the title that you can put on that YouTube thumbnail. Sometimes you can repeat what's in the title. And in the YouTube thumbnail was a strategy. I would like to do what it needs to be very easy to read. You weren't competing with everybody on a YouTube homepage or in a YouTube search prompt, or in that Google search or wherever it is, YouTube API ascending your video in competition with that keyword, your thumbnail can tell people more about your video than your competition. So take advantage of this with font that is bold, that as direct and very easy to read number to a clean color scheme, although you should not focus on your YouTube thumbnails like they are, art is gonna hang up. But in New York Museum, a foreigner, that's a real day. Hey, write me down in outcomes CEO, your YouTube thumbnail still needs to look like art because there are people to take this very serious. And if you're a YouTube thumbnail, looks like it was made on Clip Art in 1998 before scrolling right past. But a very YouTube thumbnail looks really cool. Cloud and edge, it pops. That's gonna make people stop, which now the bowl and direct font, that's only a thumbnail, comes into play even more because you got to the stop. And now they're gonna read number three, sex factor, sex, sex, sex. I don't know that's about to do for some algorithms, but I don't care. The sex factor inside of your YouTube thumbnail is beyond important. What do I mean by sex factor? There needs to be something that makes you stop. Like if you see net worth spelled out with the exclamation point, we have seen a lot of advertize with assets. Sex did not. I got you to stop combine couch and my furniture store. You got to do the exact same thing, which a YouTube thumbnail. There needs to be something in that thumbnail that makes people stopped. They recognize it isn't biasing face isn't the Mercedes Benz logo. You need to put something in there that makes people stop because if you have a Bolden direct font, a very clean color scheme, and something that is familiar to that audience, all optimized around these keywords. You've got the perfect thumbnail. I know for some of you all, you all think this might be a little bit too much thinking into this thumbnail. But YouTubers that make a million plus dollars in ad revenue are on record saying that they spend at least an hour a week talking to their team just about thumbnails. This is real. These three things have helped me get more views. Didn't just me talking and given knowledge ever will because I got to get them into the door somehow. And your thumbnail was a great entryway to that. Look forward to seeing you all in the next lesson. 8. How To Have Videos To Post Everyday: How to have videos to post every day. Now that you have your beautiful production studio setup, you have the ability to make videos every single day. The great thing about YouTube is that your work ethic is not tied to outside factors. Your work ethic is not tied to an interview or a gatekeeper. Your work ethic is tied to you and your success on YouTube is directly tied to your work ethic. So use your work ethic to bring your YouTube dreams to reality, that you can do this by making videos nearly every day without filming every day. I noticed from experience, this is a very general system that anybody starting off on YouTube can use. This is the system that got me to a 100 million views on Youtube, dot Me and 200 thousand subscribers on YouTube. I have since upgrade that system. But since this is a beginner section, I want to make sure I give you all something that everybody can do. The first way to have videos to post every day is you've got to have some sort of content idea organizer. Once you start making YouTube videos, you will start having an idea as to YouTube videos, you're gonna start watching YouTube videos differently. Do you watch YouTube videos before? Because you're watching two videos before as a fan who's trying to get information. Now you're watching a YouTube video as a creator who was getting strategy ideas and analyzing other creators YouTube videos. So therefore, you go start thinking about YouTube all the time. Do not think you can hold all these ideas in your head, write them down somewhere. The easiest way to do this, the student notes app on your phone. I had multiple notes about multiple topics that daily them up. So that way when I got back to my computer and I wanted to organize my video ideas, since I had to notes in my phone, I could just go right there and boom, all the dots came back. I could do it right there on my computer. Once you get a little bit more advanced, you don't want to do notes or your phone anymore. You can use some sort of pipeline system like Trello, which is what we're using currently, which allows me to put cards and columns and list and have all my ideas listed out. And then when I went to collab with my lawn foreign team or in my short for team or my graphic design team. Things I got later on, it allows us to see all my ideas too. But the reason they want to have Trello now, you cannot start off with the notes app on my phone first, which made it very easy to share my content ideas with my entirety. The second way to have videos of pulse every single day is to batch filming. Do not film one video at once unless it's a very, very long video, like 30 minutes or more. If you are making eight to 15 minute YouTube videos, knockout as many of those as you possibly can telling yourself that you're gonna film every single day for the rest of your life is insane. You want to set aside time throughout the week to film 34 or five videos as many as you can. So that way you can build up a catalog in the weeks or months or even years, you don't feel like filming. You have a back catalog of videos for your editors to edit from our reaction videos and tastes me about 15 minutes east to film knows when our Agni close to for those done when I was posting every single day, I would film three days out a week. That's about 12 videos. And I was sitting them off at the peak of our group 82 long-form position. I had four enters that we're making three videos per week. Four times three is 12. It's only seven days in a week. In just one week's time. I'm already five videos ahead. If I want a pulse every day, batch film, give them to those adders and even if you aren't posted, just hold onto it for a rainy day. The final way to have videos of pulse every day, just do Google Drive. I won't be all the way around which all Google Drive is not the best platform to collab with people. But if you use Google Sheets, you use Google Docs, use Google Meet, you use Gmail you already assigned the Google ecosystem is very easy to use. Google Drive to collab and they give you a decent amount of room for free. Once you start off, I setup folders inside of there. I have a video editing folder. There are raw videos while I'll put the raw content inside of once it's done, There's a completed video, solar. They put the completed videos in there. We label each folder based on the topic of the video because it allows us to extract all the digital assets. We can distribute them out to the world. A law for video as a digital asset. Digital assets can make you money in a myriad of ways. When you film a long-form video, no, you post on YouTube, you need to get as much out of it as you possibly can. You took time to write to the script, so milk it. This is the type of digital assets we get off our YouTube video. We have the long-form video format. We now only upload to YouTube. We upload to other long-form platforms as well. And we make the adjustments that we need to base on what the platform asks us to do. We also have long-form audio that comes off of that based on how the long-form video was, that can serve as a podcast episode that can be distributed worldwide are thumbnail art that can be posted as graphic design anywhere where graphics are seen and shared and posted. And it can even be meant it and turn it into a digital art that we can make royalties off of down the line and Web three metaphors to NF tease the video script once it's broken down. Those can be individual infographics. Those can be tweaked themselves. Those can be converted into graphics, or those can be blog posts. Or we can combine that to make an e-book that can be sold as the individual product itself. And then with our video description, what we do is we take that, we turn that into a blog post. So group AT to music had a blog. We will put that as the actual blog posts, since it's our description is already optimized, kindly went to wherever they optimize it. So now it's going to rank on Google anyway under that keyword, once we add our video, does also optimize their, their keyword inside of that blog now is going to break way hiring Google. And everything that is getting from that Google search is being pushed back to our YouTube video because it's letting Google know that this blog in this video are so much about the same thing. They need to be married together. So anyone who searches for his blog needs to be shown as video. Anyone who watched this video next time showed in his blog. And we own both. Once the video is posted, we send out an email about it and we put in our lifetime vault just in case you want to do something with it ever again. 9.
