1. Introduction: Hi, my name is helmet. I am a full-time YouTuber
and entrepreneur, as well as a full-time student. And I can confidently say
that the best thing that I've ever done in my entire
life was to start my channel. It completely changed my life. And that is the exact reason why I'm creating this
class and this class, I'm going to teach you
everything that I've learned over the 23 years of being a YouTuber and I'm going to teach you basically
everything that I wish someone told me
before I started YouTube. But that would essentially shortcuts my process of
becoming a YouTuber. So let me give you
a quick overview of the things that we're gonna
be discussing in this class. And the first thing is how you can choose your channel topic. We're going to talk about how to overcome the fear
of getting started. And then we're going
to talk about how we can be perfectionism. That again, you can get started. Then we're going to talk
about how we can get better at talking
into the camera, just like right now
as you can see. And then we're going
to talk about how we can blend videos, shoot videos, edit videos and
upload videos to YouTube, as well as how you can find your voice on YouTube as well, which is in my personal opinion, it's gonna be one of the most important lessons in this class. And then we're going to
talk about how we can make YouTube upon that process. So let me teach you everything
that I know when it comes to growing a
successful YouTube channel. Let's get started.
2. How to Choose Your Niche/Channel Topic?: Okay, let's get started
with the lesson number one. And, but lesson number
one is how to choose your niche and your
channel topic. So normally, people
can go over like for 20 minutes of video content just to tell you or give
is how you choose it. But the thing is, you actually know what type of
videos you're gonna make. No, that's actually
wrong way to say it. You actually know
which niche you belong in before I
started on YouTube, but I knew that if I
started on YouTube ever, I would make
self-improvement videos. I wouldn't make cooking videos. I wouldn't make playing
video games, gaming videos. I would make self
and permit videos. So when I told you, like, which channel topic that
you're thinking about, you actually have one
thing in your mind and the subconscious mind that you know that's
gonna be happening. So the thing is, there's a
big difference between it, the niche you belonging
and your voice on YouTube. So the initial belonging, it might be, for
example, fitness. The initial belonging
might be cooking. It might be, for example, gaming might be some
improvement like me, but your voice is something
completely different. And let me explain you what
your YouTube voice is. Let's say it when it
comes to cooking, Let's give an example
of cooking and cooking. You might actually make
stake review videos, or you might make
like vegan recipes. That is your voice in
the cooking niche. You actually don't
have to know what your voice looks
like in batch niche, but you need to know
genuinely which type of content you're going
to create for me. I always knew, as I said before, that I was going to make like
self-improvement content, but I didn't know if I was going to make blogs
all the time. I didn't know if I was going
to make like YouTube shorts that were like Tolkien and they were giving advice to people. I didn't know if
I, if I was going to make a podcast or interviews, but I knew that I did
something on YouTube, but I would do that
about self-improvement. So now I'm thinking about
for a second and you know which type of content
that you want to create. But now, I'm not going to be teaching you right now how to find your voice. I guess that's gonna be
less than number 15. So it's actually
a long far ahead because it is something
incredibly important. And the thing is, I still haven't found my
voice completely. So lets say about fitness. Let's say you want to talk
about fitness in general. You might do shorts, videos that have like some motivational type
of thing inside them. You might make like Jim
blogs, you might make like, I don't know, like holding like eating blogs or
anything like that. Or you might make videos
about like roasting other people on their
form or something that might be actually bad,
maybe don't do that. I don't know. So you actually don't
have to know it well, what kind of things, which kind of like videos
that you have to make. But you need to know
the general idea. You need to know the general principles that
you're going to follow, which is for me,
self-improvement, maybe for your cooking. I don't know what type of
other channels that aren't. Maybe it's gonna be
completely for entertainment. And the thing is, you need to pick something
that you actually like. Now, this seems like
a very watery advice, but thing is YouTube
is a long game if you are starting on YouTube and the first question
that I asked you, which type of content
you're going to make and you don't know, like, I can make self-improvement,
I can make business. It can be cooking. Cooking
is fun, I might do that. Then you probably are going
to start YouTube because of the fact that you
want to make a lot of money and you want
to get famous. The thing is that doesn't happen quickly and
that doesn't make it, that probably doesn't
have been more than 99.9% of people as well. Making money like you
definitely will make money, but you might not make millions of dollars
like obviously. So if you don't
actually know when I told you what type of content
you want to make it like, what's the general niche
you want to belong in? And you don't know,
that's actually kind of dangerous because that
means that you might be, as I said before starting on YouTube because of the
fact that you want the money and the
theme and the things that come with huge success. But that doesn't happen quickly. And when you start on
YouTube, you're going to realize that you
need to put in like ten to 20 hours of solid work every single week
to make two videos. And they're going to
take seven hours each to make as written comments
and everything. And you will realize that
in three months from now, you actually haven't gotten
some traction actually. And that means you're
going to quit. And that's why you need to
pick something that you actually enjoy that you
can talk about for years. One thing that I've seen was basically a guy like
was on YouTube. I'm not going to
mention his name. He was teaching about high-school like success,
academic success. And he was a high-schooler
by the time. And after like
three years later, he actually built a
business outside of this, but he will graduated
from high school. He was in college and now you want to talk
about other things. But the thing is he couldn't
change his channels complete topic directly because it would mean that a lot of
people would unsubscribe, that channel would probably die. That's why you should choose
something that you can talk about it without getting
bored for a long time. That is going to be
the first lesson. After this lesson, when we
go over the other lessons, I need you to know that, okay, I'm going to start
this type of channel. That's the thing that
you have in mind. If you are already
a YouTuber watching this class for looking like
more tips on how to grow. You can directly to skip to the parts that
you want to watch, like how to actually
grow on YouTube, the myth of the
YouTube algorithm, how to find your voice. Those are all important lessons, but let's get to the
lesson number two, which is overcoming the
fear of getting started.
3. How to Overcome the Fear of Getting Started?: Welcome to the
lesson number two, which is overcoming the
fear of getting started. So the thing is one of the
things that we actually encountered the most when starting a YouTube channel
as people are like, Oh, I want to start
it on YouTube, but I actually don't
want my friends and family to find about it. I don't want people to judge me. I am kinda like scared to get
sorted because people are going to know this
thing is most people, most like YouTubers,
when they're giving advice to get started, they're saying like, oh,
people will not judge, you just get started.
It's not a big deal. That's not actually
a good advice because in my life, I'm
a high school student. I went and two years ago,
when I started on YouTube, I was to Alaska students in the beginning of my high
school like journey. And when I started YouTube, a lot of people in my class, people why you like
technically was friends with, but I didn't really have a
lot in common with them. We were just in the same class. That was just a coincidence. A lot of people
actually judged me. And also my parents didn't want me to start
on YouTube as well. I had a few friends that told me like you got
this row and there were not just changing it
because of the fact that they wouldn't they wouldn't just chant
me for everything, but they knew that I had
the ability to speak. There's actually a little weird. I was good at
speaking and I also liked like sharing
information on mine. So they were like, Okay,
you've got this, do this. But a lot of people actually gave me a hard
time when it comes to this. And they resemble my
friends and my class. There were like What's up
groups that I was not in there. We're just talking about my token about
this from my back. And I don't want to sound
like I'm discouraging to you. Oh, don't get sort on into
people are going to know this. If you're at the mindset of, I'm going to start on YouTube, but I don't want my friends
and family to find about it. That's not really a great
mindset to go with that. Now I'm gonna explain you
the spotlight effect, which should be
explained in this case. So we live like we have
a spotlight above us. The way we live is we think that everyone
is looking at us. Everyone is realizing us
that we think that we are the main character
in everyone's life. But that's not reality. For example, when you are going upstairs and
you're like you fall and you look around and most people didn't
even realize that. And the people who
realized that, they're like, who cares like you fold them and
everybody does that. So when we are looking at this from a support perspective, yes. People are probably
going to judge you. People are probably
gonna be like starting like that's cringy row, like kinda do them like. But the thing is, when you start seeing
a little success, when you start getting,
getting a little views, making a little bit of
money here and there. That's like downgrading that. Looking you like go down. That's kinda like turns
into like jealousy. Which is something
that I've seen. Like I bought myself
a little luck. My camera that can live 50
like iPhones, like laptops, and most like
high-school students, for example, at my age, they don't do that with their money. And they were like, How do
you buy all those things? Like, I spent like
$40 thousand a month on all these equipment and they're like, Look,
how do you do that? I like, I make money from
YouTube, like that's my job. And they were like jealous
about that kind of. So that's downgrading
look turns into jealousy when you essentially get a little bit of success. And when you think about like maybe you do this for 34 years, that success is going
to turn something into something really big. And thinking about the jealousy that they're going to have. That's something that's
really interesting. Like let me tell you this. People who told you not to start or five years from now
are going to tell you like, when you become successful, if you hopefully become
successful on this, they're going to start
like, I know this guy, but he wasn't he wasn't
my high-school class, it wasn't my college class or he was like a
friend that I knew. At the time. I told him like do this because you're
gonna be successful. Know it's time you
told me not to do this because we felt that I was
not gonna be able to do this. So one thing they don't share was overcoming the
fear of getting started. This actually didn't
happen for me. I made 2025 videos before
I started on YouTube, like I was just making
them because of the fact that I enjoyed making videos. Then one day I was like, Should I just post these
videos on YouTube? I called a friend equal to good friend, one
of my best friends. And he said like do it like
maybe if it gets some use, maybe you might do it again. You might make another video. If it doesn't get interviews
like you might not do it. You can just stop it. Like you can just
try it, what it is. And I was like, Yeah,
that sounds cool. I create my YouTube account. I put the profile picture
and I uploaded the video. And the day that I
uploaded the video, a lot of my friends actually
went and found about it. I shared that into my
Instagram account, my OneDrive account,
so that I could get my first 1020 subscribers. And it was kind of
cringe at the time. But now when I look back at it, starting when you do
was definitely one of the best decisions
I've ever made. And I'm so glad that I actually didn't
waste a lot of time thinking and trying to overcome the fear
of getting started. I know a lot of people have
worked who told me like, I actually want it
started with general for the last three years. Brew if you started
three years ago, now, just think about
where you would be now. So don't just dwell
on starting YouTube. You can always quit, but you cannot not
get started like, you can't start from the past. Now like the first, the best time to plant a
seed was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now. So just get started. So let's jump into
the next lesson, which is beating
perfectionism in your head.
4. How to Beat Perfectionism in Your Head?: Lesson number three, beating
perfectionism in your head. What are the things that
people like come up with? Or I want to make videos, but they're not
really that good. I don't know how to
fail, how to edit, how to do all those videos. My views are not perfect, so I don't want you
essentially upload them for other people to see. First of all, you need
to know one thing. The perfect doesn't exist. When I say perfect
doesn't exist, for example, that when you
look at the most successful, one of the most successful
YouTuber isn't the world, let's say Mr. Beast. He even though he makes
incredible content and he gets like
hundreds of millions of views every month. He always improves, at
least like one thing to the next video because he'd like there's the perfect
doesn't exist. First of all, get that
out of your head. And now the thing is one thing that I wanted
to mention when it comes to meeting perfectionism
in your mind is I actually have a system that I created back in the day when
I started on YouTube. And that was like a level
one to level tennis system. And it worked like this. I made 20 videos before I
got started on YouTube and I uploaded them to this one folder that said like before YouTube, before I actually got started
on my YouTube channel. And then the first video I
have ever uploaded to YouTube, which was about like for ways to become more productive
or something like that. That was my level one video. And then I made a couple
of videos in level one. And then the moment I
started realizing that yes, my views are actually
a little better, I actually leveled up
to that to level two. So I wasn't making
level two videos. And then when I got there a little more better, I went down, I went up to level
four and level three and was like this was
like a level system. And I went up to level ten. And then I actually
got started with my video editor working
with my view at your, so things got like changes. Things completely
changed from that point. But when you are thinking about being
perfectionism in your head, the perfect video at this
essentially does not exist. The perfect creator, the perfect channel of
the briefing video, these things do not exist. The thing that you
should be focusing on, things that you should be
essentially obsessing over on is how we can make each
video a little better. Because, you know the 1% rule, This 1% rule that says
that if you get better every single day with 1%
at the end of one year, you're gonna be
like, I don't know. I don't remember
the exact number, but you're gonna be like
36 times much better. And that is
mathematically correct, which means that if you are
making a video, for example, you make your first YouTube
video and you uploaded it, and it's probably not gonna
be the best video ever. I mean, your first, your first 100 videos are going to be your
worst 100 videos. That's the model
that we go over. And then up to, after
you upload that video, watch that video and say, yes, this could be improved. This could be improved and
this could be improved. The next video, go over and
improve one thing at a time. And the reason why I'm not telling you to improve
everything at once, because after like 56 videos, you're not going to find
the things that you can essentially like a
juice, get better at. So you're going to
put yourself into a position where you actually don't really like get better
each with each upload. So just change one thing. You might be like, Okay, this sliding doesn't
really look that good. So I'm gonna do it like
this or this small things. And the best way to get better is essentially through
editing your videos. We're going to teach
you, I'm not working. I'm going to teach
you how to film that. I have to plan them,
how to outline them. But one of the most
key components of essentially a YouTube
video is editing. You can easily get
better at editing. You can learn more
effects and new things, new styles that you
can do like new texts. I created this course because
I want this to be like ra, and I want to just
deliberate information. The meaning behind
this course is not that I can have like the
graphics that I don't know, like, oh, succeeding on YouTube. When I succeeded on
YouTube, it's not gonna be like a graph
like this going up. What I'm trying to give
you is just the value. So normally you will edit
your YouTube videos. We will get, for
example, my channel, every single one of
my videos are edited, and every single one
of my videos are edited like four
hours and working with a professional
video editor. Now, you're not going to have to do that in the beginning. Maybe not ever, but
that's the point. You need to get better
with each upload. And that's going to be
the number one motor that we have and get better with each upload progression over perfection because why
perfection does not exist. And I can clearly tell you that just thinking
about getting better at, thinking about like making a better YouTube video
is kind of exciting. And you know why? Because I wasn't making videos like
level one, level two, level three, I was at
level six and level seven, I was like, how can I
get to level eight? How can I add this
component to my videos? How can I make my
end screen better? How can I make the sound
quality like more crisp? And how can I make my video look actually like little
better how to make, how can I make it like? How can I use the adjustment
layers and stuff to make it more like high-quality
and just overall better. And that's something that's
interesting because you are challenging yourself and you're pushing yourself to
make a better video, probably you are not
the best film maker in the world that just like
I am when I got started, like I learned editing through tutorials and that's how I learned everything
pretty much. I just got like, I was
just shooting with my phone and by the time I
didn't even have an iPhone, I was using like an android and they're like the video quality itself was not good at anything. Sound quality was bad at just
the how can I explain this? The lighting was bad. I was using like
natural lighting, but I didn't know how to use
the sun as a natural light, which I'm going to teach
you in this glass as well. So overall, my videos
were essentially trash, but from that point it just
got better with every upload. A little better, a little
better, a little better. And one of the things
that you need to be doing is you need to go back like
ten videos that you've made. And when you go back ten videos, you need to be looking at
them and feeling like this. Oh my God, this is trash. This is so bad. And you need to go, uh, basically like every
time you make a video, you go ten videos
earlier and say, and see the improvement that
you have made essentially. And this is one of
the things that I do every single year. On the day. I don't remember the exact date, the date that I started
my YouTube channel, which is also like
in summer of 2020. And I own that data. Specifically, I go into my computer which is
like a right here. Let me show it like this. I go into my computer
and I basically watch, oops, let me okay. Basically watched the old
videos that I've made and I see how much
I've improved. And when I see how
much I've improved, I see that I have much more
potential to improve as well. So that's day is one of the most motivating needs when it comes to my YouTube journey. So just sit down and think
about how we can get better with each upload and do
not worry about all. The video is not perfect. I don't think this video is
done when it has like 80%. Okay, just do it, just upload that
video and just get started on making
that next video. So that is basically how you can beach perfectionism
in your head. And one of the questions
that I get like the most is, how do I get better at
talking to the camera, which is going to be
the lesson number four. Let's jump into the
lesson number four.
5. How to Get Better Talking to the Camera?: Lesson number four. And if you know my content, it just a little bit, you know what I'm going to
say in this class actually, you know what I'm going
to say in this lesson. The lesson is how to get better
at talking to the camera. And the answer that I'm
going to give is practice, practice, practice,
practice, practice. And five more practices. When it comes to talking to the camera and
getting better at it. When I started. Essentially, I don't want like I have some videos that I've shot for the first time before I actually
started on YouTube, like those 20 videos that I made before I
started on YouTube. Like those videos, I sometimes
watch them and it's like, Oh my god, that is so bad. That is so bad. My camera
presence is like non-existent. Like I don't know if the camera is I don't know how
to explain that, but my camera presence is
so bad by by that John. And the way you can
improve and get better at speaking to the
camera is through speaking into the camera. And that is how easy it is. And I'm gonna give
you two exercises. You can deal with the camera. But basically the more videos you make it, the better
you're going to get. I know a friend. I know IT imagery like he is
a good friend of mine and he makes a productivity
apps type of content, like he overviews
productivity apps. And he started on YouTube
long, long time ago. He made gaming videos and then he went on to this channel. Now it's like kind of
like a side business. And he made probably
more than 500 videos. And when you think about
it, like after you made after we make
like 500 videos, speaking in front of the camera is like a completely
natural thing to you. I probably made around
like 200 videos. The thing is like that
before I started and now there's a big difference
between my camera presence. Now I can essentially like
the reason why I'm creating this glass is because the older met when he started
on self-improvement. When he started on
the use of journey, he didn't know anything and it ran right now I'm
feel like I'm talking to him and I'm giving
him advice so that he's not going to make
a lot of mistakes throughout this journey. That's why if you
like comfortable speaking into the camera. So I'm going to
give you a couple of exercises that I
personally did that really, really helped me just get better at speaking
to the camera. So even though I was not filming YouTube
videos every single day, I would just speaking to my camera every
single freaking day. When I started on YouTube,
I had a big disadvantage. And that disadvantage was, I was making videos in English, just like I'm
speaking right now. But by then two years ago, my English was really bad. Well, I was running scripts, so I wasn't talking freely
in front of the camera. And if I was talking freely rope like if I was talking freely
in front of the camera, even my mom wouldn't
watch watch my videos. My mom is my biggest
now probably. So I got better
with each upload. At same time, I got better
at speaking English, which with each upload. And one of the things that
I did read that really completely sky-rocketed my presence in
front of my camera, as well as my English
knowledge is I would just sit down in front of this camera every single day before
I went to sleep. And I will just speak. I wouldn't upload those
videos to YouTube. I will just delete those
videos afterwards. I will talk about the girl
that I had a crush on. I would talk about
this water bottle. I would talk about the videos that would make in the future. I would talk about my dreams, my goals, my aspirations. I would just go out and
how we talked about how bad my teachers were. I would talk about
how he was stressful for that exam that was
coming up next week. I would literally talk
about anything and everything just to get better
in front of the camera. Just to get more like natural in front of the
camera while speaking. And that completely
helped me a ton. And one of the things that I did like that was like one stone with two birds basically because I was
improving my English, I was getting better at speaking whilst I was improving
my camera presence. And one of the things that
you can utilize like, let's say you live in us. Like most of my audience,
You live in us. You're going to start a channel that's gonna be in English. So you don't get actually the
two birds with one stone. Maybe there's a channel. There is a language that
you're trying to learn. Spanish. You can talk Spanish in front of the camera, in
front of the camera. And you can improve
your Spanish while improving your natural
camera presence. For example, I speak
German as well, and Germany is my third
language after English. The first one is Turkish
than English and in German. So my German is my
worst language, even though it's not
actually a really bad. So I would literally like speak English or German,
doesn't matter. I just decided that
day in front of the camera for an hour per day. And just think about how that could skyrocket
your presence, your natural ability to speak
in front of the camera. And I was a public speaker
before all of this. So that also helped
me a ton as well. And these are things
that I did that completely sky-rocketed
my naturality. Or that's probably not
a word in English. As you can see, my English
is not the best to. Also, another thing
that really helped me is I really recommend
you to take your camera. If your camera is your
phone doesn't matter. We're gonna be talking about the equipment that you can use. Just take your phone
and take your camera. And when you go outside
and just look outside, because when you invoke outside, it's actually really hard even now after making 200 videos, which like some of them
are essentially like, some of them are
essentially outside views. Like I was outside
and I was filming. And the first video
that I made that was outside was like a
video that I was hoping to be able to
like 12 habits of incredibly successful
people or external assessment label
something like bath at the title or
something like that. And I was at, it really wasn't a natural like a national
park in Istanbul. And a lot of people thought that I was like a
famous YouTuber. I was like this with
my camera trying to film myself and was
talking about like stuff. I was talking about extreme
assessment people in another language because
people who were there were electric fish and people
were like literally a guy came to me and which
could put together, by the time like
2000s subscribers. They think he probably felt like I was a celebrity or something. But when I taught
in English outside, that completely made it in my room speaking it much easier. The thing is you're
probably going to make videos in your house. Like I sometimes shoot
here, this is my bedroom. I sometimes shouldn't
be living room. We have like a small
library there. Like nuts and lots of lines
is actually pretty big. Like it's awesome.
It's a nice view. I sometimes use my videos there. I when you force yourself to speak in another language
in front of the camera, or when you force
yourself to speak, that's a normal
language outside. You see that how hard that is. So just speaking in front of the camera at home
while they were alone, this becomes much, much easier. So these are the two things
that you can essentially utilize to just get better at speaking in
front of the camera. But just like anything
else on YouTube, you don't have to worry
about your camera presence. 100%. It's not gonna
be like you can. You're not going to
become like a Mr. Beast in the first two
videos that they have made, like when you look at, for
example, Mr. Reece channel? Yes. Also he's like old videos. And when you go back and see his camera presence
is not there. It's like he's not
the person that he is right now by thin. And also one of the things that also I want to
mention is like you're, you know, you guys know Marcus Brown Lee
and give me a HD. And where you go
back to his videos, like he's still
has videos that he uploaded like 12 years ago. And on his channel as well, his camera personality is actually not there
like ten years ago. It's just develops over time. So when you're getting started thinking
about, for example, yes, we're just
gonna get better. Like it's driving. I'm
learning driving now. I'm learning I'm learning
how to drive now. I'm gonna get my license
soon, hopefully this summer. And when I'm learning this, it's like it's so
unnatural to me. At least a month ago,
it was so unnatural. I got sorted, kinda
like trying to drive and my father
was teaching to me. And after a month
like after like 56 sessions of like
trying to drive. Now, it's not as as like unnatural to me
as it was back then. It's just going to get
better, I promise. Just focus on getting
1% better at each time. With that being said, let's jump into the lesson number five, which is the equipment
inside of things, which is the physical things that you need it to essentially store on YouTube or just get
better while making videos. So let's jump into that.
6. What You Need to Get Started With: All right, in lesson number five and then listen
to more flight is essentially what you need to essentially
start on YouTube, what you need as an equipment. It's not like a mindset thing. Now we're going to be talking
about the physical things. And what do you need? You need your phone. You don't need a special
camera like I'm using. It's a Canon 5D. But we're gonna be talking about literally everything
that you need now. So if you have an iPhone, it doesn't matter which I've
done that is to be honest, I posed are alike when it
comes to video recording, the cameras are
really, really good. And if you have an Android
phone that is equal to like an iPhone eight or plus, it is already a really, really good phone
and it's already a good camera and you can
get started with that. But when it comes to
starting on YouTube, the only equipment that you need is not your essentially camera. There are also other
things that you have to consider before getting started. And those are like the
camera, the video quality, and then microphone,
the sound quality, and then the lighting. You can have the best
camera in the world. And if you have a terrible, terrible lighting, you're
gonna get a bad result. But you have, if you have like a iPhone and normal iPhone, but you built yourself a
nice like lighting setup, which is not going to cost
you an expensive thing like it's not gonna be expensive,
it's gonna be really cheap. Maybe also things that you can find it in your
house as well. If you can utilize
good lighting, your iPhone can you or your phone can easily
look like a really, really high-quality,
high-end camera. Then we're going
to talk about like angles and your background. And then we're going to talk about the editing
side of things. So let's talk about
the camera real quick. When I got started on YouTube, I actually had an Android
phone and there was like a Samsung 830 or something. I don't remember
the exact thing. And I was filming
on my videos with that and that camera
was actually bad, like the camera was not good. And then I switched up
into my father's phone. My father had like an
iPhone seven Plus. Actually, he's still
has that phone. And I was familiar with
my videos with that bone because I literally just went
into borrow the husband. I'm gonna shoot videos that I'm just going
to be a YouTuber. I would borrow his phone and
make my videos with that. And after a couple of, after actually like
nine months on YouTube, I started to make it look
a little bit of money and then I invested
into this camera that I actually have owned for the last one year,
1.5 years probably. And that is my first camera
that I bought with my money. And then I made from YouTube. And this camera
is Canon empathy. And I bought this with a vlogging kids and
have login kids means that you don't get the
camera body just if the camera body is I can't show you that because
I'm familiar with this. So there's the lens, there's a camera body, and also there is the tripod, there is the microphone, and all those things are kind
of like important things. And I bought them
basically together. And by the time, by,
by that time it was like 78 thousand Euros, which equals to around like 800 bucks probably by the time. And now it went from seven to
8 thousand to 20 thousand. Like literally the same package. What? 20 thousand because of
the inflation and jerky. But we could talk
about fats and until this morning for 12 hours,
but we're not gonna do that. So the camera doesn't have
to be really expensive. You just can use your phone. And then when you invest in a camera like half a
year, a year later, just invest in the camera with the money that
you already are making on YouTube so that it's not gonna be like a
financial burden on you. The next thing that
we have talked about, microphone, that is a really, really important one because
if your videos sounded terrible than no one is
going to watch those videos. But if you're like video quality
is not really that good. You can even use like this. You can even use anything for the camera like
it Give me a small camera. But when it comes to
the sound quality and your sound quality
has to be good. And when I say good, it
really has to be good. Because sometimes this
happens to me all the time. I don't really watch videos. I leave my phone here and
a video plays in that. Like, I don't really care about the video quality that much. But if the sound
quality is terrible, if it's kinda like echoey, if it's kinda like
coming out from a room that doesn't have
any furniture in it. You know, that sound
about squishy sound. And that just makes the video
on watchable, to be honest. So your sound quality
is extremely important. In order for you to get
a good sound quality, you need to kinda like
do some research. Right now I'm using a rode
microphone, which is really, really high-quality microphone
bus by the time that I was using my father's bone for
shooting all these videos, I literally did not
use any microphone and my sound quality was
still good because like, I am Turkish and the
Turkish culture, your house is like filled
with all these things. When you look at my
room, like my room is like a little
more modern band. What the Turkish kinda like
thing supposed to look like. Because like it when you
go to our living room, like coaches, old
at all, everywhere. Like we have so many libraries, It's like nowhere to walk, so everything is filled. We have all these things. That's why all of those
things absorb the sound, which means that your
sound is going to look, I'm not looking at
your sound is going to feel much more professional. That's why when I was
even using a phone, I actually didn't need any. Like Mike adult and I had this friend Sean,
who's also a YouTuber. He makes like
coaching demo videos. He makes like mental
health type of videos. And he is English, lives in Britain and
he literally they had, had, not had to, but he kinda like bought like a few $100 worth of like sound. Those things that you
put on your wall so that your sound on the microphone is
going to sound better. I don't know what
they're called. Noise canceling that noise
cancellation obviously. But you got the point. Like you literally
had to do that. But in Turkey, because
the fact that you buy so many things and put
them into your house, everything absorbs at
this and be like noise, the white noise so that Michael is going to look and feel
much more professional. The next thing is lighting. Lighting is a make
or break lying. Is any rubidium important one? And the reason why
lighting is so important is because
as I said before, I can give you the
highest quality camera that is worth a $100 thousand. You can probably shoot a
really good video in bats. But if you don't know, then we can get a professional. The camera that I'm using,
it's like 800 bucks, eight hundred, nine hundred
bucks, for example, in total. And that guy with good lighting, that professional can
get a much better shot then you with a $100
thousand camera. So the lighting is
essentially make or break. The way I like this
shot right here is I have a ring light
right here and then I have like a yellow type
of flights right there and accept that I have some
LED lights behind the back. So that's the way I
like light this shot. But when I'm filming
in my living room, it's like there are
like three windows, big windows, so I don't need to actually any outside lighting, which means that you can just
use natural lighting son, to light up your videos and the colors that are going
to come out of that camera through that natural light
is actually much better than just having green lights
because these things are not really giving
the best colors. Lighting can make or
break your videos. That is important. So let's talk about
the angle real quick. When I say angle, I mean like this is the angle that I'm
shooting in right now. This is the background. So when it comes to
your background, you can literally
have an observable, but that's not going to look
incredibly professional. And what I encourage
you to do is I just, what I encourage you
to do is basically use different things
that are gonna make it look a little
more professional. For example, you can
use some LED lights. I literally bought
vast like light bulb, but that gives like, let me
just take that real quick. Wait a second. So
as you can see, this light bulb, I literally
got this light bulb for, by the way, this
shuttles, it looks good. I might use it just like I got this light bulb for
like 30 church leaders, which equals 34 bucks in total. So now I'm going to
go back and put this. And I'm not going to cut
any of this because I want this Skillshare class
to be like kinda roll. With really small things
that you can buy. You can make your videos
much more professional. And also what comes
to your background? You can use like plants. I'm going to play here. It's an artificial paints. But you can use, for
example, those things. The right one is
like it says forward and the left one it
says success and lake, hard work on those things
that you need it to have. That two is actually
reach that success. Like these small things can make your background look
much more professional. For example, in our living room, there's this big library and I like to shoot
in front of it because even though those
books are not mine, my books I would
like right there as you can see, but it's
not all of them. Obviously, I didn't. I read a lot. So those are not actually, those are not just only my books. When it comes to
like these things. Thinking about your background, like thinking about your
background and thinking about how we can make that
look essentially good, because it's an
important part of it. Let's talk about
now about editing, because editing and
editing your software, like your editing
software is important. When I think about my journey
for the last two years, I never had any
issues with audio. I never had any
issues with video, but I had so many
issues with editing because it's computer
that I have right here, my, not my MacBook, but the other one, my desktop. Basically, it didn't really
have a really strong system, but back then, like I had been I bought like some
car doesn't stuff. But back then, I basically like, crashed it all the time. And I was trying
to shoot like for k videos with my iPhone. And even though there's
not a big difference between the poor key and there are ten ADP and the iPhone, especially like
in a good camera, it's gonna be a big difference. But I was trying to shoot
F4 key and then edit that for K file on a computer. And then my computer
would crash all the time. I would lose the files. I would just freak out
like I'll just pick it up. It gets so ****** that I
was going to quit YouTube. And I'll just tell me, it tells me is a lot
of those things. So when you have a computer That kinda like can
handle if you have a Mac, but blue for
example, any MacBook can essentially edit the video. But if you have a
desktop that is good, that is not really a good, doesn't have to be
like gaming desktop, but if it's like average, Okay, You can probably edit like ten
ADP files on that desktop. And that's what I did. Now, even though I have this camera that can
shoot really good for K, I actually make it my videos
that are like on YouTube, just ten ADP, just shoot it and then send
that to my video editor. And that's the way i
and do the editing. And when it comes
to editing, I don't edit my own videos right now. What I can give you like, but because of the fact
that I hired a video editor now I'm working with professionally
with a video editor, but back then I was hitting
my videos myself and I probably edit the
first 100 videos. More than 100 videos, oh, much more than
monarchy as myself. And then I essentially sketches got started with
the video editor to that I have right now he's a good
person and you can edit in a lot of different
applications. You can edit in. Let me check my
notes that I did. Final Cut Pro iMovie
Premiere Pro luma fusion, like all those things, all these applications
like I use personally Premiere Pro and my video
editor also uses Premier Pro. But just do your research and learn how you can get
started in editing. And that's basically
the software that you need if you have a good
computer, like it's okay. So when it comes to all of these like camera
video, like lighting, if you have a
little bit of money to invest and if you are like, Bro, I can't buy a camera. Obviously it's like a lot
of money in my country. Maybe you're not living in
a country like UK, UK, US. If the camera is actually
really expensive to you. When I think of myself, if someone in Turkey by tries to buy this camera,
it's like 20 thousand. And if they don't have the pre-life
money-making systems and in place like if it's, if they don't do
YouTube or anything, how do they buy this camera? It's really, really expensive. So if you have a
little bit of money, they can invest in, I highly, highly encourage you to
get yourself a nice, a microphone, that scheme that is going to
sound like crisp. You can even buy
something like 20 bucks that you can feel
like put two here. Lovelier, is that called? I don't know. You can use something like
that and you come by yourself. A cheap ring lights. When
I bought this ring light, this was like a little more than a 100 bucks a 100 trucks NewRez. Which it and when I say bucks, it's circular areas
which equals 1213 bucks, dollars in total, which they're relatively cheap and it
completely changed the game. Let me turn this off real quick and turn it back on again. Like this shot looks terrible. This is much better. Like
this is much, much better. Let me change the
color to something like yeah, that's much better. So just invest in a ring
light and a microphone. You're gonna be good
to go with your phone. And that is a setup that
I had for a long time. Like I just had my phone and no microphone and a ring light. That's all I had for like
a solid like nine months. And then I bought like these
camera and my tripod and stuff and that was completely
a worth investment. So these are the things that
you can get started with. Just a phone, a microphone if you can
message as well as like a ring light a and o can
relate doesn't have to be those one of those like $4
thousand Laurene lights. Obviously, you can buy
something for 20 bucks, 30 bucks, and you're
going to be good to go. And this is lesson number five, the equipment that you
need to get started with.
7. How to Plan Videos / Come Up with Ideas?: Okay, Now we are in
the lesson number six, which is the main point of the starting point of
making actually videos. And our lesson is
called how to plant videos and come up with ideas. So when it comes to
this, you generally like on YouTube or any
other social media, you don't actually come up with a completely 100% original idea. The way you essentially
come up with the original idea is
you consume YouTube. You want you to videos,
and then you kind of like when you watched like
three or four or five videos, you see some good points in all those videos
and say to yourself, Okay, I can make it
bigger like this. That has this part from this video, this
part from this video. It's like a combination
of a lot of things when it comes to making, coming up with a
completely original idea. This is not like
one-to-one copying. One thing that I've seen from
other YouTubers that are not in us is they
literally make copy Mr. Beats, obese. The same title, the same thumbnail
in another language, and the same video type itself. And that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is
like, when you are coming up with video ideas, you're probably going to get inspiration from other
creators and you're probably gonna get a lot of knowledge from just consuming
and watching YouTube. And the way I like to do
this is literally like this. When I'm watching
YouTube, I have, as you know, there's this
like watch later tab. And if I see a type of
content that I like, and it was like in my niche,
if it's self-improvement. And if it's like
looks interesting, I just will save it to
my watch later list. Then every single week, on Sunday I sit down and I have my one-hour content
brainstorming session. In that session, what I do
is for the first 30 minutes, I sit down and I look at my watch leader list and I write down some video ideas
that I can make. I literally write down as
many things as possible. And then those 30 minutes
I'd probably write down like 3040 video ideas
that I can make. And now of course those all of those video ideas
are vital ideas. All those new ideas
are good ideas. But when you look at it
from a good perspective, it's like there are a couple
of good ideas inside of it. And most of them are
not really good ideas. Some of them are
okay, some of them are good, some of
them are really good. And in those 40 ideas, I write down into
verse 30 minutes. And in the second 30 minutes, what I do is I literally sit down and write concepts
to all those videos. If there is a video that I
am thinking about making that it's timed like one
that changed my life. This title looks
like a good title. You want I think about it.
No, I actually haven't video like this with that one. How did they get that? I get it. That can change your life is a good title that when it comes into
self-improvement niche. So what you can do
is now you can, in the next 30 minutes, think about how you can make
a video like this, okay, you can talk about
exercising and you can talk about how exercising
changed your life. And then you can talk about
the benefits of exercise and how other people can get
sorted at all of those things. I've tried create those essentially kind
of like a outline, outlines, but it's like a plan that I can make
this video about. I sit down and in those
2030 video ideas, I pick like two of them. And those two are the
ones that are going to give the most value
to my audience. The ones that are gonna
get the most views, the ones that are
more interesting, the ones that I
actually want to make. And those are the four
categories that I like. Criteria that I look at and off dry essentially pick
those two videos. Those two videos are the videos that I'm going to
make it this week, the next coming week, basically. That is kind of like
how I personally come up with new ideas I like. And also one thing
that I have to add is when you are coming up with
like third video ideas week, probably like every single week, like some of those ideas I'm going to be like
really similar and you're gonna be debating
whether Jew them are not obvious. These
can be like that. But every time I pick two videos I'm gonna
make this weekend. They're generally
like the videos, the video ideas that I
want to want to make. And to that I, that I think that
they're gonna get some good views on
YouTube, on my audience. And the way you
think like, Okay, how does this video gets views
on like from my audience? Basically, you want to
know your audience, you want to know what
your audience likes. You want to know what
your audience like. We'll click on and then you
will make a video like that. So for example, personally, I know that in the
southern permanent niche, if you're talking
about like dating, getting girls,
fitness, those things will always perform better
on the job algorithm. Then like how you
can fix your sleep, how to build good habits, how to build a break bad habits because it doesn't really
have the ring to it. And morning, morning, morning. One of the things that I
have to mention here is, which is a really good
strategy to look at, is there are two types of ice hunter eyes and no,
that's not like that. It's the consumer I, as well as the creator. The consumer eyes. Like the consumer I
consumes content. And it's like, okay,
that's good, That's good. The next one scrolls on TikTok for example, or the consumer, I watch YouTube videos and then when the
YouTube video finishes, or maybe your attention
span is not that long. So jump on to the next video
and you consume basically the creator I is like this when you watch,
for example, a video, even if that video might not be related to the type of
content that you create, you will get that
to you and say, Oh, I actually liked
the video pacing. I actually liked the video
like music, read ring to it. So you save that
video or you watch, you see a thumbnail and you say, Oh, that's a good one. What? I might use, something
like that in the future. So I'm just going
to screenshot it. Or you see a title
that's like, well, the way that title is packaged is actually a really good. So I'm
just going to save it. Maybe I'll use it in the
future or even watching. I hope, I hope that you're
not watching TikTok, but let's say you're
watching like Instagram shorts and you see an Instagram short and it's like there's a really
good joke in debt. And you're not going to make
the same Instagram short, obviously, but you might use that joke in one of your videos. Like you save a lot of things. So that creator I is basically
just saves a lot of things like puts all these like good
piece of content and next, so that you can check them
out maybe in the future. And that is the Creator
i that you have. And the reason why I'm explaining you this is
because when you are consuming content and
if you are a YouTuber, if you're thinking
about becoming a YouTuber or if you're already a YouTuber making videos
and maybe making money, always have this creator
I open at all times. It doesn't matter if you're
watching football games, and it doesn't matter if you are watching anything on YouTube. Always have that creator, I open it, that creator I
is going to help you a lot. Now you have the video ideas. And the next lesson I'm going
to be explaining to you how we can make those new ideas a reality because it's not
okay, it's not enough. If you just had the video ideas, you need to make
the videos as well. So let's get started with
the lesson number six.
8. How to Film - Edit and Upload your Videos: Alright, listen number seven, how to fill them, edit
and upload your videos. There's gonna be
more like a, how you essentially do those things. So first of all, when
you have a video idea, you don't go directly
in front of the camera. Let's say one habit that's going to change
your life. Okay. Let me go into the Camera. One habit that's gonna
change your life. How can have it be? Okay, Let's talk about
exercising for a second. If you don't go like
that, basically there's this one process that
you need to go through that can be like
scripting or outlining. So as you can see, this
Skillshare class is outlined. This culture class is like, I have some talking points
here on my Mac book. And I just hope, like
through looking my points, It's not like a
script that I have that is like word for word. I'm not reading this
out loud to you. I'm just speaking freely
in front of the camera. But for somebody who is
that I make on YouTube, I essentially script them. If it's like a three-minute
video that I'm making, I don't want to speak freely and that video is gonna be
like six minutes in total. So what I want to do is like scripting video and
directly just look at the script that you have and then look at
the camera and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you get this,
come back again. We've got the
camera, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever that is. However you do that, there are different
wastes essentially, but you can plan out
your videos, obviously. Like I have some videos that I actually didn't really
think about that much. I have like somebody who
is where I was like what? I want to talk about
this on YouTube. And then I put my camera and I didn't have any
lights, anything. I just talk in front of the
camera and upload that video. Like that can happen
sometimes however, in generally, in general, you want to have
like an outline or a script before you
go through that, do you want to you don't
want to get in front of the camera before
you essentially have before you figured out what you're going to
say in front of the camera. So let me explain you how
kinda like my video creation, video production process
kinda like looks like. So every Sunday I'm going to
sit down and figure out are the ideas that I'm
going to have with the next upcoming videos. And then I know, for example, let's say the first one
is going to be this, and the second video
is gonna be this. I know the titles, I know how
they're going to look like. And then in the morning
when I wake up, I wake up with their
own like 06:00 AM ish. And then when you
wake up, especially like now it's summer. So I just focused on
YouTube and my life, my like fitness and everything
like self-improvement. But if it's school, it's like my schedule is going
to be different. I worked with Sam and I like script or outline my
videos for like two hours. And in those two hours, eyes sometimes managed
to outline both of them, sometimes count by
just one of them. If it's a big one,
if it's a big, really big video and vertically one that I want to put a
lot of effort into it. I might just do a half
of it in two hours. And then at around like 830, I like leave my computer, I have breakfast and then
I go to the gym at 09:00 AM and then I work out
onto let go at 101030. Yes. And then come back, have like he protein shake and then when it comes to like take a shower,
protein shake. And then while I'm
drinking my protein shake, I sit down and look at
the things that I wrote. And when I'm looking at
the things that I wrote, I'm trying to like a little memorize them a little
like get them to my head. And then after I
drink my protein shake and do my reviews, I can inch front of the
camera like this and then shoot whatever it is
that I have to shoot. So today it's like actually, I don't know if you're
going to see that, but it's like six PM now. And you might be asking, why didn't you do your routine? It's because like planning a Skillshare class
takes a little, just a little bit longer than planning in a little video like taking pull-planning the sickle shaped glass walls
like a few days. So that's why I'm
not shooting this at the normal time that I was
going to be shooting this. And after I shoot these videos, I essentially just get them from my camera to my computer
through the canons, like a mobile, not more myelin, it's desktop app and it
literally like helps you download these
files from their Wi-Fi. And I download them, I send them to my video editor. And he edits all of these videos and he uploaded them to YouTube
and makes them unlisted. And then I go after that and I put the title
and the thumbnail, and then that video is ready to go and be public on YouTube. So that is like, kinda like
my process of making this. But obviously you don't have a video editor if
you're watching this like you're
getting started. And then what you're gonna do is after you shoot the video, you're gonna get that
to the computer and edit that for however long
your editor is going to be. Maybe you just do like, like rough cutting editing, which is like 20
minutes in total. And then maybe you do like
a lot of fancy editing. It might be like a
week of editing. I don't know, like Nicholas
crystal for example, that YouTube or like thus, we keep editing it pleased. And so you might have a question of how do I
learn how to edit like, Okay, I'm going to fill it. I'm going to push the button so the camera
is going to start, I'm going to talk
and then I'm gonna get that to computer.
But how do I add it? Literally how I learned
editing was from scratch. I went to YouTube and search job like Premiere Pro
editing tutorials. And then I watched
the videos that they were there was and when
I watched those videos, they're like two-hour videos. And by the time I was just
getting into filmmaking, I was just getting
into making videos. I had my phone just I
don't have a camera. So it was really interested
in all of these things. So I started literally
making one video a week. I was making like one video. Why does it won't be a week? I literally started
making one video a day. This was to summer
holidays before this last one, the beforehand. So I was making one video a
day, literally one weird, I would just get up, learn how to make videos. They're just shoot
my video and then edited until the light the night until 10:00 PM and then go to sleep and wake up too much into another video. And I have all those videos
that are like really bad, even though I was just learning. His learning and getting
started, that was really bad. So just watch video tutorials
on YouTube about how to edit and the basis
of video editing. It's like the basis
of video editing. You can learn probably
in like two hours. And after those two hours, you're going to learn
for a long time. But the more you edit, the
better you're gonna get. Just like the bore you talk
in front of the camera. The more natural there
are going to sound them, the better the camera
presence that's gonna be. So this is basically how I
shoot my video is Hawaii, how my video creation
process it looks like. And for me personally, I also added some videos
for my channel as well. I sometimes like
I actually might, a video editor is on vacation, so I have to edit like 23
videos myself this week. And it's like, I
love doing that. But the first thing that
you're probably going to outsource in the
future is gonna be VTH. Think that's kinda like what happens when if
you are a huge rubric. The first thing
you have sources, the hardest part, which
is the editing part. Now we are done
with how to shoot like how the film,
unlike technical things. Now from that and from now
on we'll then jump into more tactical how
to grow on YouTube, how to make money, and those things that
aren't gonna be like, kinda like, more interesting
to you Probably. So let's jump into the
lesson number eight, which is how to actually grow on YouTube and
build an audience.
9. How to Make Youtube a Fun Process?: Okay, Alright, listen number 13, which is how to make
YouTube have been process. So when you think
about it, if you don't enjoy actually being a YouTuber, if you don't enjoy
making videos, if you don't enjoy the
creative part of things, the production part of things, you are probably not going to be a YouTuber for a long time. And that's unfortunately
like that. I really loved and enjoyed the video making like
part of everything. I really enjoyed making videos. I really enjoyed
creating videos. That's why for a long time, even though I was not
making money at all, even though my videos we're
getting like a 100 views. I was happy. I was really happy
because I loved it. I was doing what I loved. And that was incredible. Thing is if you just
don't enjoy that, you're going to quit
and you're not gonna be successful on YouTube. So how do you make you
do one process itself? First of all, as I said
before in the first lesson, if you are someone
who just wants to do YouTube because of the fact that it's kinda like a good idea. It's like I'm gonna
make a lot of money. You're probably not gonna
be able to be successful. And the second thing is there, I'm gonna give you like
two different strategies that are going to make you feel much more inclined towards being more happy because
if you are a YouTuber. But let's, first of all,
we're talking about this. One of the things that
is the most important, like the number smaller, the most enjoyable thing
when it comes to YouTube is basically the growth
side of things are okay, like the vanity
metrics, like Views, Subscribers, those things are okay, those things are great. However, mainly the fun part is trying to make it
better video each time. When you're trying to get
better, when you're trying to, for example, just
figure out, okay, I wanna do in the
video that is much, much better than all the videos
that I made in the past. Like that is essentially the best thing
that you wanna do. Like that's the way
you want to go. That's why I'm
gonna give you like now two different strategies
that you can use. But the enjoyment of YuJa
basically comes from competing with yourself
truck to make better videos. And the moment I
started, like try it in, the moment I started
making money on YouTube. That was the moment I actually lost my
passion to YouTube. I live. Now. Let me tell
you my whole story. I made it. I made like maybe
50 videos in nine months. And I was so happy I
wasn't making any money. I wasn't getting any
views, but I liked it. And then I started making money. I was starting making
like 90 bucks, a 100 bucks, 200 bucks, 300 bucks, 200 bucks
again, like money. And I lost my passion
because I focused on Monday and I was registering make more money and
movement and more money, and that doesn't
bring happiness. I forgot that. I loved the creation
part of things. I loved that the video
production type of things. Then I realized, oh,
that's not good. I actually want to grow
and grow on you too. I wanted to call
it big YouTuber. And the way I did
that was after that, it's like I literally
told myself. Yes. So we're going to just go back on making money
side of things. We're not going
to focus on that. We're just going to focus on
making really good videos. Again, this was a decision, I mean, like three months ago. So for like pretty
much like a year, I just focused on like money
and making like Okay videos. And that's what I've
found my passion again, yes, I want to make good videos. That's actually my passion,
like I want to make is sick video that is going to
get a good amount of views. And that was my passion. I wanted to make videos that's
really valuable to people. That is my passion. So let me give you two
different kind of takes, two tips and tricks
that you can use. And the first one is
you can get friends, were all like make friends, who are also YouTubers
that are your level. So I have a YouTube mastermind
with three of my friends, like two of my friends and me, I actually choose masterminds. The first one is
Dimitri Shauna, me. It's like we are
similar creators. And we'd like, when I
say similar craters, we create content on a similar topic, self
improvement, productivity. Sean focuses more on
mental health symmetries like productivity guy, I'm more like
self-improvement guy. And I also have another
friend group that is like Hassan columns,
me, covenant. It's like that friend group is like completely
self-improvement, like really similar type of
and when we're together, when we're brainstorming
ideas, brainstorming ideas, it's like That's
creates competition when you are with other YouTubers
that are on your level, if you compete with a guy who has like 500
thousand subscribers, now, you're gonna get destroyed. And if you have like 50
thousand subscribers and you're competing with a guy that as like a 100 subscribers. And it's like there's
no competition. So if you are competing with people who are on your level, who are on your work ethic, then you want to do more
because you want to win. That winning is height
of us is always there, like the competition brings
out basically the best of us. That's why I think the
number one way to make huge biofilm process is through it's competing
with your friends, competing enough
for your friends, like competing with
people who you can make, be friends with that are also YouTubers that
are on your level. And if they're like completely
outside of your level and that's problem that can be enjoyable unit to be
in the flow state. And the flow state
only happens when the challenge is a little bit challenging because
you need to work hard, but it's not so challenging
that you can't do it at all. Or it's not like so easy that you just don't
want to do it. The second way is
like basically, It's gonna be like a
little contradictory to what I said in the past. And I said like, I, when I started making money, I lost my passion for YouTube. That was unfortunately
real, but at same time, second thing is the moment you started making
money on YouTube, the moment you can start
investing in some equipment, investing in yourself, and have more like money
throughout your life. That is also what makes kind
of like huge upon as well. So it's not contradictory, but you need to understand
me like here. I think people get incredibly much weighted
by vanity metrics. People get really motivated
by Benji metrics. It's like when you see that your views are getting good
views, you're really happy. Like I just made a
video yesterday, and that'd be eula was like
a solid eight out of ten. So ranking eight out of ten
videos, and that's good. And then the morning
I woke up and say two out of them, I
was like really happy. And that's an example of vanity metrics make
people to be happy, but at same time we
should be focusing on w is a good one,
but not really. I'm really proud of that money was a really, really good one. It wasn't like that,
it was a good one. Just so YouTube is gonna be even probably more fun when
you start making money. Because when you make money, it's like That's coolness. Of course isn't a word that's
feeling comes with that. So that is the lesson number 13. How to make it uniform process, just make continent you enjoy,
create that competition. When you start making
money, it's going to be probably a little
more enjoyable. Let's jump into the
lesson number 14.
10. How to Find Your Voice on YouTube?: Lesson number 15,
which is how to find your voice on a YouTube
of this lesson, is similar to the
lesson number one, which was about how to find
your niche on YouTube, but saltwater voice on YouTube. So in the first lesson,
I basically explained you guys that when you were
studying, when you do, you should know
exactly like, okay, this isn't the type of
video and I'm going to make it's the Southern
permanent contact. I'm going to make
you need to know what the general umbrella of content that you
want to produce. But then when it
comes to your voice, is going to be completely
different for everyone. So let me give you some
example of examples of voices in the
fitness industry. You might meet a
guy who posts like daily vlogs of fitness. You're into fitness and you
pass laws about fitness. Or it might be the
guide that makes like Fitness recipes like you might make low-calorie recipes for
people who are losing meet. You might make like
protein field at recipes for people
who are bulking up. So basically you need to find your voice inside of
the fitness category. You might be the guy who makes
like really short videos, like two-minute
motivational videos. You might be the guy who
makes 30-minute like signs, tournaments like
science-based content, which means that you're
gonna do a lot of research. You're going to go
and research a lot. You're gonna go and research all the time and then come back in front of the camera and say, okay, this is the best
way to build muscle. Or let's say you are self, you are in the self-improvement
and he's just like me. For example, in
self-improvement niche, you have Ali Abdullah, who is more like your
productivity YouTubers, but now he talks about
entrepreneurship Isabelle. So you have homes are
talking about mental health, talking about different things. That talks about
everything, to be honest, that, that wasn't
a good example. So we have like
some YouTubers that have their way of approaching
self-improvement. So my way of bridging
self-improvement is like, I'm not gonna give
me an example of me. I'm gonna give an
example of, for example, Chris from first men. He's also a huge
word that I follow. So he talks about, especially specifically just for males, like for men that are going to build a better future for themselves in the future. He talks about business, he talks about like a woman. He talks about fitness, things that a
guardian to make you a stronger and a better
man in the future. So they all have a way of
approaching to YouTube. They all have a voice. So basically, when
it comes to cooking, for example, you can, I
can give so many examples. You might be the person
who reviews stakes, like you might be
a chef who makes a lot of recipes and you put losers v so that
people can see them. You might be a guy who
was making vegan recipes. You might be the guy
who makes like deserts. You just focus on
desserts, for example. You can do literally
everything but you need, what you need is you need
to find your voice and you define a content strategy that
is going to work for you. For example, you like
short type of content. You want to make one,
two-minute videos. We want to make like YouTube
short stem of videos. Now, it doesn't mean that
you're just going to do shorts. And I'm not going to do
long-term, long format videos. That doesn't mean that
you can obviously like, incorporate different
types of contents, like pillars into your content. But for me personally, I actually haven't found
my voice completely yet. So this is not like
something that you have to get dialed in. Just like this. It's going
to take a lot of time. I'm still in the
process of actually finding my voice and
southern perimeter niche. I'm sometimes making like 1010
or even 20 minutes videos. They're just about giving value. I sometimes make blocks, I sometimes make short videos, I sometimes do those. So I'm actually not there when it comes to lesson number 15, how to find your
voice on YouTube. I'm not the most qualified
person choke about this, but that's what I figured out when I'm always going to make something
permanent content, but I'm slowly trying
to find my voice. I'm sometimes it's gonna make short videos and I'm
sometimes going to, I'm just going to
make sometimes, um, long-term, long leg for
five-minute videos as well. So this is basically
how you can find your voice on YouTube. But here's the deal. You don't actually have
to have this figured out. Now, just make your
first 5100 videos and then try to focus
on this and then tried, for example, find your voice when you are just starting out. Do not care about
your voice at all. You know the umbrella. Just make videos, different
types of content. And then you're going to
see why you enjoy the most and what's going to
get the most views so that you can offer that pick your voice inside of you
or a niche like this. So that was basically
listen number of routine and then nothing else and less number of
gene that let's jump into the lesson number is 16.
11. Class Project & Conclusion: Alright, we are at the class projects of
