So without further ado, let's just get decided and welcome to the course. 2. Understanding Faceless YouTube Channels: Now, before you're going to get to creating a faceless channels, you need to understand one very important thing. You need to understand what faceless tub channel is. Now, phasic let's address Alphat in the room, and it is how faceless te channels actually used as a marketing gamer. In reality, any channel of the YouTube can be faceless. You don't really need to use your face or voice in the channels. But AI, you can actually lend AI's voice to your message. So basically, in essence, faceless YouTube channel is just a YouTube channel that cannot be directly linked to a singular person. In this case, you. So basically, this is a channel that anyone can do. Anyone can be behind the channel and it's not tied to a single person, unlike faced YouTube channels, where it's built around a certain personality. De channels need to be built around by the singular person. Well faceless can be built not just around the person, but around the group, and no one will know the difference. You also need to understand why faceless Stub channels are so popular. And Wu is popular takes it not just among creators but among the viewers as well. Pul Festing first, P Festings first, it's easy for the creators because of how easy it is actually to make the faceless content. You don't need fancy camera. You don't need fancy lighting. You don't need studio to record all this, and you don't need to have skills of speech in front of the camera. And trust me, the skills of speech of front the camera is probably one of the most difficult things to achieve because you cannot buy it. You actually need to learn a dedicated practice and long practice at that. I can personally be witness to that. But it also can be because you are insecure with your appearance or with your voice or with your speech. For example, for many people, my accent can be an issue. And for many and for many people, they would not want to record videos with this accent. For me, I really don't care, but for many, it can be a problem. So what you need to do. So facelessETU channel basically solves all these problems all at once. But even that Fales Tub channels is loved by the viewers as well, because how easy they are to consume. You're not getting annoyed by voice, you're not getting annoyed by face, and you are getting straight to the message. Those views are easy to consume because they're getting straight to the point. Yes, there are a lot of bad faceless videos as well. But the good ones are getting their job done very well. But for that reason viewers also love to watch the faceless videos, not just creators. But there can also can be differences between faceless channels. Again, any channel in any niche can be faceless. That's another method I want to break about the faceless nel. The faceless channels can only be in a certain niches. Which is wrong? Any niche can have a faceless channel. Absolutely. A and every single one of them. So what are the types of the facelestum channels? Well, there are no specific types. Every type of channel can be faceless. That means that there is no categorization of the facelestum channels. Yes, you can't put them in an arbitrary categories, like the ones without the voice or with an AI generates voice. But in reality, there is no differentiation. List not more than between any other type of videos. You can create reviews with the faceless channels, you can create a motivational videos with the faceless channel. You can create tutorial videos with the faceless channels. You can create a gameplay videos with the faceless channels. You can create summaries, demonstrations, data visualizations, top ten list, tips videos, and bunch and bunch and bunch more. Every video you've seen on YouTube can have their faceless analog. It's just another proof that faceless YouTube channels are just regulated channels, but built technically different. Technically. But there's also one more important question. How faceless Tub channels can actually manage to engage viewers without a personal presence? Oh, that's because the viewers for the faceless channels are not coming because of the face. They're coming because of the message because of the topic of the video. And that's usually happens with every single one of the videos. Even if you have the channel with a face, no one knows you in the beginning. They come to your channel not because of you, but because of your message. And it works exactly the same way in a faceless Tub channel. But for example, if you create a workout motivational video, People will come to your video because they want to work out motivation, not because this video is faced or faceless. And those videos engage audience in exactly same way as every single other videos. Through correct structure, distinct beginning, middle, and end, with a correct promise of the content, and with an interesting delivery. It's not as difficult as I made it sound right now. It's actually quite simple when you understand how to do it. And there is also one more important thing that you don't understand, and it is the legal and ethical considerations about running faceless YouTube. Many people think that faceless Tub channels, other channels that are stealing other people's content and repackaging them in a different way in order to make it look as their own. This is not how faceless Tub channel works. You should not steal content. You're not restricted to use stock footage. You're not restricted to use other people's footage for the specific purposes, but you need to understand well enough what you are doing and why you are doing this. You always need to create a correct attributions. I view someone else's videos, make a correct attribution and write in a description that you actually use someone else's. Not steal. YouTube will not tolerate. Do not steal the content, YouTube will not tolerate this. Trust me, banning faceless YouTube channels is far more easier for them than any other types of channels. YouTube will do that. So we need to be very careful of everything that you need to do. And don't worry I'm going to teach you everything about that. Now that you understood what faceless youtube channels are. Next lecture, let's discuss what other the benefits of having faceless YouTub channels. So I'm going to see it the next one. Take care. A 3. Benefits of Running a Faceless YouTube Channel: Everyone knows that running faceless Tub channels are beneficial, but how exactly they're beneficial? That's an interesting question that we need to answer. Because, yeah, you to the need to know why you need to start faceless DTUbe channels. That is how to do it. Why is also important. And that's why we're going to go through five different benefits of why you need to start faceless Tube channel. And let's start with the first one, which is very important and probably why you want to start faceless Tub channel. And it is privacy and anonymity. Well, not everyone wants to be known as a content. People just want to create content without anyone actually knowing that and want to be anonymous. This anonymity can be for the different reasons. First, it can be because they don't want their face to be shown everywhere else. Second, they might not want to be popular, and third, it is actually for their own safety. You can't even imagine how dangerous content creation can actually be. Not just for you, but for your loved ones as well. Anything that you will say, no matter how correct you think that you are, will piss off someone and that someone can actually be someone that is very dangerous and is capable of finding you or maybe just knows you. So why do you need that type of risk in your life? Many people are actually doing this for the safety reason, but most people just want an anonymity, just don't want to be known as a content creator. They're just doing this for fun, and maybe for additional income. And the theme is not the thing that they're looking for. Reason number two, and we actually talk about this a little bit, and it is a lower production costs and requirements. Again, you don't need a camera, you don't need a microphone, you don't need fancy lighting. You don't need the studio to recording. You don't need to have a skills of speech in front of the camera. You don't need to have a good look, you don't need to have any looks, and all you need is just a computer and an internet connection. That's literally And in the case of tools like in video AI, you don't even need to have a particularly powerful computer as well. Because AI literally creates videos for you. And, trust me, the cost of the face channels like this one can actually go very, very, very, very high. Like recording equipment can easily go a few thousand dollar alone without even studio and anything else. So why pay more when you can actually pay less? Stason is, of course, extremely important as well, and it is a potential of passive income streams. This claimer here, I really don't like the word passive income because nothing that you will be doing with the faceless channels can be called passive. You will be actively working for your income. But passive in this case means that you will continue making income, even if you'll stop creating videos, at least for some time, and that is extremely important. Trust me, good, faceless YouTube channel, that know exactly what they're doing, and you will know that by the end of this course as well, can generate quite significant amount of income or in the worst case scenario and additionally come to their already existing ones. Because you don't have a lot of upfront costs at the beginning, it just all goes into your profit. How amazing is that? Next reason is scalability and ease of the content creation. But the face Tip channels, because it's quite difficult to create a content. You cannot actually create multiple different channels or focus on multiple different streams of income. But with the faceless, you actually can. Because creation of such videos is extremely fast and easy. All you need to do is just have good ideas and constantly pump out the video after video after video. You can even control multiple different channels and pump out multiple different videos every single day. All you just need to do is a few hours of spare time in a day and just some motivation in order to do this daily. But when income start pouring in, here you are going to have more than enough motivation. And last but not least reason number five is a broad audience which without personal branding. Fasless YouTube channels and faceless videos have far easier time breaching much larger audiences. Because those videos usually are actually made quite well, and the messages of those videos are usually quite broad. Lot of different people that would watch these videos, and not just on a single platform, but on a multiple platforms as well. Mean that you're not actually restricted by a single YouTube channel. You can at spread those videos on multiple different social media websites. And this broad appeal helps you quite a lot to reach huge amounts of audiences. And this way, it also gives you a huge potential of large incomes. And overall with these five reasons, there is no reason to not do a faceless channel. Even if you already have the face channels like I do, for example. And the next lecture, we're going to focus on a few case studies to show you how faceless channels can actually reach a huge success. So we're going to see you in the next one. Take care. 4. Case Studies of Successful Faceless YouTube Channels: There can be as many different successful faceless YouTube channels as there can be any other YouTube channels. Because again, in its core, there are no differences in how you can successful the faceless channels. Only real difference is how much work you're going to put in it and how much of yourself you're going to show in it. So in this lecture, let's discuss f of the successful YouTube channels and see what made them so successful and how you can actually replicate and what you can learn from them. In this case, we're going to learn from three different faceless channels. And all of them are working in ale bit of a different ways. Let's start with the traditional one. The traditional one is moti versity. You have started any type of motivational videos. There's high chance you have seen the videos from sees pretty big child with more than 3 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 750 videos uploaded. But what makes them different and how the channel actually operates? Well, first first, there's niche. Niche of the shell is motivation. The niche that every faceless YouTube child tries to replicate. But how does it is different? What this child is doing is not using almost any type of original content, neither using AI. What they do is they take some of motivational sub videos and also audios from different speeches and podcasts. Where they're creating content from something that people are familiar with, and they do this with an epic music on a background. The upside of this type of videos is that they can create a lot of different videos, and they can generate a ton of views. Because in many cases, people are familiar with the voices and the speeches of those videos, but there is also an issue of a copyright. Because this video is using hundreds of different elements from different sources. Many of them are copyrighted. Most likely those videos are getting a lot of different copyright claims. And most likely source of income for the channel is a revenue sharing with the copyright holders, which will slash the revenue from mon by quite a lot. Almost likely they are generating the revenue somewhere else. For example, from the website or from the merge. And don't get me wrong. The channel this size, most likely would generate quite sizable revenue. But Necto channels are more interesting because those channels are actually using the power of AI and have more regional content, allowing them to most likely monetize all of those videos. Let's start with the juggernaut, the bigger one of those two what. What actually became more of a big production. In this score, it's a faceless Tub channel. They're most likely using AI voiceovers, which in today's Ng is very difficult to differentiate from real voiceovers, which you will use within in video AI for this course. However, they're also using bug of different footage. But what is notable is that a lot of those footage is actually free stock videos, or licensed stock videos. So most likely what they're generating from those videos, monetization wise are going 100% to them. They're just paying a little bit more for the stock videos. But I don't think that's a sizable chunk of overall income. So what if is actually generating quite a sizeable You have to understand that they're almost at 8 million subscribers and with 1,200 videos on the channel. So they are like an old beast. What you should be interested more is with the newer channels. Like now next. Now next is the space centric faceless channel, which is using AI voice for their videos. This channel is relatively new with just 90 videos and 27,000 subscribers at the moment of the recording of this and with more than 3.5 million views. What this channel is using is creating documentary style of videos, where they're using budge of footage with an attribution, which most likely will not be claimed, and then they're using AI voice, and most likely using also AI script generators as well, allowing them to put a few people's work in just one with the help of AI. And even though all of those channels are faceless channels, they're actually quite different. Is using almost exclusively other people's footage which I do not recommend. Another is using a lot of different paid and free stock footage but also using power of AI. Last one is mostly relying on AI for the speech and for the script writing. Which one should you follow the most? I think the last one will be the best case scenario for you? What the sprinkle of the second one? Because in video AI is ridiculously good at generating stock footage. Not generating finding stock footage. All you will need to do is just good topic that you think will be beneficial for your viewers and use the power of in Video AI to write a great script that you can always modify, find the best voice and just allow the indo AI to generate its magic, which you can always change if you think that something is off, which you should always do. What I also suggested to do is to check out other faceless channels in your niche to see what they are doing and how you can actually implement their strategies for yourself, for your own YouTube channel. This will be for this section and the next section, we're going to actually start creating our faceless YouTube channel. I'm going to see you there. Take care. Oh. 5. Choosing Your Niche: Choosing the niche is not a thing that someone should overlook while creating a faceless YouTube channel or any YouTube channel for that matter. This is not a thing that should be taken lightly, and I would say this is one of only few things that I would suggest you to take a lot of time to think about. Now, what most people are doing, they're going and seeing the YouTube channels that have a lot of uses and have a lot of subscribers. Just choose them as their inches. Technically, it makes sense. You want to create pace as YouTube channels because you want to make some revenue, and you're choosing the channels that most likely will work because if it works for someone else, there's a high chance that it will work for you. How most people are overlooking one very important thing? How old those YouTube channels are and how advanced they are already in their content creation game. Most likely you won't have any of those things at least in the beginning. How to choose the second thing that people would think is the profitability of the niche, mean that how much niche can actually generate. And that is also not a wrong way to look at this. Some niches are just more profitable than the other ones. For example, if you're going to create the videos about finances, there is far higher chance that you're going to generate far more revenue. I mean by far more revenue. Talking about RPS means that revenue per 1,000 views north of 20 or $30, which is huge for YouTube. However, even then, I do not recommend to go with this way. But if you still decide to choose the Niche bye profitability, because you really want to choose a really profitable give you a few advices on how to identify those niches. Well first first, let me get this straight out of way. If you want the most profitable niche, you need to go to the finance dish. This is by far the most profitable one. But if you want to identify more other profitable niches, look at this this way. If there are many people who would want to put an ad in front of your video, then most likely your niche will be profitable. There are not a lot of people that would want to put an ad in front of the video because of the competition or just because of your audiences, that means that your niche is not a profitable one. If your niche is very general, means that anyone can watch this no matter what time, that means that your niche is not profitable. But you will most likely accommodate this by the number of views. But if a very specific type of people will watch this video, your RPMs will be very high, but you will not get that many views. For example, if you create the face legit channel about woodworking, only people who are interested in woodworking would watch you. And RPMs will most likely be north of $10, which is pretty great. But most likely you will never get the video that will get somewhere even close to ten millions or even 1 million. Generate videos like fun compilations, Mm, things like that, will most likely generate those. But now I will give you honest recommendations of what neede to choose if you want to create a faceless DUP channel, and this is coming from the person who is creating content full time for the past five years. Choose the niche that you're interested in. Yes, that's as simple as that. If you are interested in a specific niche and you're most likely no we out of stuff about this niche. I just create the videos or channel or channels about that. Might be interested in multiple different niches, so we can just create multiple different channels. Faceless GT channels will allow you to do that, and you will not have any huge issues with that. Just create multiple DTU channels for multiple niches and just start experimenting with that. Now, you will need this to not burn yourself out, because if you're interested in your topic, most likely, you're going to know a lot of things in this topic and be able to create a lot of different contents with that. And many people are looking at the facelessGTb channels. I just straight dead cold business. And yeah, it can be that as well. But you also should not miss the creation part of the content equation is a creative job. And if you burn yourself out in a topic that you don't know anything about, you will most likely not be doing this for really, really long time. I'm pretty sure the channels like diversity and what if are very much interested in their niches, and that's why they're doing that well. No YouTube channel were successful for a long time. One creative was not interested in that specific niche. In order to make your faceless YouTube channel successful, you need to put a lot of work. In order to keep up with a lot of work, you should love what you're doing. So just do that. So just choose niches that aligns with what you love. But okay. Let's say that you chose the niche. What type of videos you should create for your faceless YouTube. Be fair, anything with speeches will work. Don't work. We're going to use AI for the speeches. Videos with speeches can be essays, reviews, how to, tips, stories, and things like that. Meaning that you will actually be talking, or rather AI will be talking for you in the video because those videos are usually most unique. And to be fair that not as difficult to create with the power of AI like in Video plus your videos will be actually really helpful. And you'll be using a lot of other people's content. So the chance of demonetization will be quite low. And one more thing that I want to re tell you again, not every niche will generate millions of views, and not every niche will need millions of views. Usually, the niches that are quite small also have quite high CPMs and RPMs. Meaning that if you take two different dishes, one with $1 CPM and one with $20 DPM. To make $100 for first one, you will need 100,000 views. While for the second one, you will only need 5,000 views. To be fair, both of those number of views can actually require the same amount of work. Just don't think and go for the high number of view wise. Always take into account that some niches will pay you more for less. While others will pay you less for more. So the next lecture, we're going to actually start creating ETUbe channel and go into more specifics. So I'm going to see there. 6. Creating Your YouTube Channel: So it's time to create your first Faces YouTube channel. Creation of the faceless YouTube channel is really no different than creating of any other YouTube channels. What you need to do is just have a gmail account, go to YouTube and sign up. That's it. However, what many do not know that you can actually add existing channels to your channel. Meaning that you can have a multiple accounts, tie your existing Gmail account or your YouTube channel. For many qureion of such channels is not very straightforward, let me just show you how it's done. Only to this go to your YouTube account. Don't need to go to Studio or anywhere else, and just search for settings. On the setting, do you need to go to account step, which will usually be open right away, and just click add and many YouTube channels. After that, you just create a channel. Just name your channel. Your channel is basically created. Now, before you're going to move on, you need to turn on some intermediate and advanced features, which is not available by default. By intermediate features, I mean something very important like custom thumbnails and a video logger that 15 minutes. By advanced features is like appealing of a content ID system, uploading more videos daily, or even be eligible for the motiz. To do so, all you need to do is go to your studio tap, which you can open like that, go to your settings, go to channel, and go to feature eligibility. Now, your standard features will usually be on by default, and you're going to have to activate your intermediate features by verifying your phone number, and advanced features by providing one of those things like video verification, valid ID, or just have a channel history. By channel history means that you need to be very active for around two months with the standard and intermediate features. You're down with A, you need to customize your channel. And by customizing right now, I've been adding YouTube channel title and description. We'll be focusing on the logo and the banner in a future lecture. To customize the channel, go to your customization tab in your YouTube studio and go under basic info. Just make sure that your channel name is very memorable and is not using any special signs or numbers. Also choose a good handle for your channel and make sure that you write a great description. And by description, I mean explain very thoroughly what your channel is all about. And use a lot of keywords in it. And by keywords, I mean the words that you think that your channel will be searched worry, we're going to learn more about keywords in one of the future sections, but right now, just think of it as detailed explanation of what your channel is all about and just fill it out in a basic info. Also make sure that you have a contact info like e mail included because people might want to reach out to you. And yes, it can happen very, very soon in your channels lifecycle. So just have it right there. Now, what you need to understand is YouTube very strict with the policies and guidelines with the new YouTube channels. That means that any small violation will cause the deletion of your channel. So try to not break any of the YouTube Nick that, you need to disclose everything while you are creating your YouTube videos. For example, YouTube recently added a clause in a description. You need to inform YouTube if your video is using AI or not. So if you're using AI and we will be using a lot of AI discourse, just make sure that you disclose that and make sure to fill out all the content correctly. Do not spam anything, do not spam keywords, do not spam tags, and do not violate any rules of YouTube. Trust me, you are more likely to be banned after you upload your first video any time else. So just be very, very careful with the rules. Do not break YouTube's rules. I repeat, do not break YouTube's rules. Do not spam, do not steal, be very careful with the copyrighted content, and do not play with YouTube's rules. They do not like that. Now that's for one of the important parts of uploading on YouTube. It's a schedule. They'll multi tach really quickly and really briefly. Many people are pushing the consistency and sticking to your schedule. And they're actually right. The better schedule you have and more you'll stick to your schedule, the better it will be for you. But unfortunately, it's not always possible What I would suggest you to you is choose a very realistic schedule that you will most likely fulfill no matter what. If it will be once a month, so be it. If it will be once a week, so be it. If it will be every day, just make sure that you every day, and just stick to that schedule. It won't be as important for your viewers. It will be more reportt for you because more videos you will upload and more consistent you will be with your discipline, higher chances of success you will have. 7. Branding and Designing Your Channel: Now, it is very important thing to brand your channel correctly. It doesn't matter whether it is for face or faceless channel. It's imperative to brand your channel correctly. To do so, you will need a few things. First, you need to come up with your brand colors. This is a thing that many people are overlooking. You need to come up with a gray color palette for your branding, and you need to use those colors consistently in everything on your channel. And I mean for the visual things, chosen palette release is not that it won't cause you any big issues in the beginning of your come up with a general color palette, and make it as simple as possible. Don't overdo it. Just as an example, all the channels that we talked about previously like now next modi versity, and what if are using very simple black and white colors. This makes it very easy to distinguish both on dark mode and on a bright mode as well. So we can come up with a very simple color palettes. Now, as for where to find those color palette, you can actually use different websites like coolers, for example, or just simply Google the beautiful color palettes. It's not as difficult as you might think. I'm just doing so to come up with channel logo. Now, this is probably the most difficult not as much as you think. Here you can actually use the power of an AI as well. You can use tools like Mt Journey or Leonardo AI, or even Bing Image generator to generate great logos for your channel. Just explain what your channel is, explain colors that you want to use. Usually those ema generators will generate quite great images for you. Now, the important part is not what your logo will look like. Important that they should look very professional. It should be consistent with the colors of your branding. That is an important part. Also, it must be very simple and very recognizable. Now all of this is a matter of taste. But as soon as it is consistent alongside everything on your channel, including logo, banner, and your thumbnails, you get to go. At last but atleast you need to focus on the channel banner. Now, channel banner is actually quite simple as well. Channel banner is not as important as it was in the past. All you need to do is just utilize an image that is consistent to your channels niche and consistent with its colors. And all you will need to do additionally is convey any additional information that you want on your channel. Like, for example, your upload schedule, if you have one, your channel model, if you have one, of course, similar to modi versit, just simply reuse your logo on your channel banner like Now NX is doing. Additionally, you can use some of the interactive elements. Like, for example, you can add a subscriber bar. Services like Stream elements allows you to add a progress bar that shows your desired number of subscribers and your current number of subscribers and to update as your subscribers numbers will grow. Now, this is the fun and interactive parts of your bar. One more thing about YouTube banners that many people are overlooking, is you understand which parts of your banner will be visible. Right now, I'm going to show you a graphic which shows which parts of banners will be visible on different devices. Like for example, TVs are featuring the largest banners, mobile phones are featuring the smallest ones. So we want to populate the banner with information. Based on this chart. And in order to build the banner like that, you can use the tools you can use the very simple tools like Canva, for example, put there a logo that you generated on mid journey or any other air generator, and just populate with the information that you want. Like for example, the subscribe bar from stream elements. Now, what you need to also understand that your channel logo should also be consistent with your channel thumbnails as well. If you want something that looks great and is very subscribable. Now, to give you really good expectations don't really need that in the very beginning. Man that you don't really need to build consistent thumbnails in the beginning, because you will really not know what works. Also, you need to choose the style of your thumbnails. Also, you need to understand the types of the thumbnails, that we're going to talk more about understanding SCO section. Also, you need to focus on a brand consistency on a different platforms as well, means that you need to upload basically a similar thumbnails at banners or other platforms as well. And yet, after you're done with this, we're going to go to an essential tools and equipment to go and start creating our first videos. So we're going to see there. Take care. 8. Essential Tools and Equipment for Faceless Channel: Now, despite your thinking that faceless YouTube channel does not require anything from you, well, it's kind of lie. You might not need that many equipment, you might not need cameras, microphones, lighting, studios, et cetera, but you will need some things, and you will also need a lot of different software. So in this lecture, we're going to cover what you'll actually need to start creating your first faceless YouTube channel. Or rather creating your first faceless YouTube videos. Open wise, all you'll need to do is a device where you will be editing your videos. Technically, it can be any device, it can be a phone, it could be a laptop, it can be your personal computer, anything that can run video editing software. If I would choose one, I would choose something more robust than a phone or a tablet. Yes, phone and tablet video eating apps have gone a really long way and are really powerful right now. Let's say they still cannot go near full fledged video editing software. Plus it's much easier to work with different AI tools as well on a PC or a laptop than on a tablet or a phone. So what I suggested to do is just have anything that can edit videos. Now, this is hardwaree. Otherwise, do you really do not need anything else? I really mean. You really do not need anything else, because everything will be done on that computing device. Another thing that you will need that we're going to build that we're going to use to create a lot of different videos is in Video AI. In Video AI is a service that allows you to create videos using AI. It includes script generation. I will generate script for you if you don't have one, voice generation, which will basically speak the script that it will write or it will even allow you to clone your own voice. If you want to use that feature. But since you want to face I generally, probably don't want to use that. But if you want, you have that ability as well. But individua is not doing just that. It also creates videos for you. Basically search deferent stock videos for you and add it in your videos, including the premium stock videos. So basically, all you need to do just explain everything to Individual I what you want the final video to be. How you want it to be or for what platform that you wanted to create, and it will create, 90% of the work for you. And in many cases, that's literally it. But if you not like the final result, and want to add some of your own touches, you can always download the video from there and edit it a little bit with the Daventure result. This is my go to videotic software because it's absolutely For graphics at Dubil, the only real tool that you will need is any photo eating software. Like in your case, it can be something as simple as Cera, or if you're using on Mac, I'll recommend pixel matter Pro or you can go with photoshop. And if you don't want any of these, and want something that is absolutely free, and as powerful, you can go with the Photop, which is basically photoshop bottomline. Now speaking of tools and software, even though I said that computer will be the best option to use because of the power of an individual AI, you are actually not restricted with that as well. If you'll solely rely on an individual AI, which you absolutely can, you can go with only your smartphone. So basically, you'll need your smartphone, and if you want something a quiet, it a qui environment, you all need to do is just headphones. It is as simple as that. You can actually try in video AI for absolutely free to see what it can create for you. Trust me, it creates some of the most amazing things that I've ever seen that requires almost no work for me. Just make sure that you review everything that indo AI will create for you. Even though the software actually makes quite a few mistakes, it will still make mistakes because this is a downside of any AI. Or it might be the downside of you not correctly explaining what you need. Don't worry. I'm not blaming you for need to learn how to correctly to AI what you need to do, and it requires some time and effort. So what else you will need? Well, basically. We will also use some additional tools for SO like VA or two body, but that's only after we're going to be done with the creation of the videos themselves. Now it comes to the moment of truth, and the important part is actual creation of the videos using in video AI. I'm going to see you in the next section where we're going to be doing exactly that. I'm going to see there. Take care. 9. Planning Your Content Strategy: First first, let me be the first one to congratulate your creating of your channel. Ft List have done everything that we talked about in the previous section. If you haven't, I have suggested you do that because it will help you to keep up, and keeping up is important here. In this lecture, we're going to be talking about how to actually plan your content stretch. And we're going to be talking about some of the techniques that I use to plan my content. And this will help you as well. Now that you have created your channel and you have clearly defined Niche, at you should by now, you need to define your content goals and objectives. Does that mean? Who you want to reach with your audience? You want to reach far and wide as many people as possible. You want to reach out to new audiences, and that will be always true if you have a new channel. Or if you already have some people watching you, do you want to reach them? Do you want to focus more on your already existing audience? Now, this is very important to define while you're creating your videos? Because the videos that you're reaching new audiences can be a little different, then the videos that are focused more on returning audiences. And they have a little bit of different goals. You're trying to reach your audiences, you're free to experiment with different formats and different types of videos. But if you're reaching your already existing audience, that means that you need to check out what videos people are watching your channel and double down on those and create the similar types of videos. But how to actually research different content ideas and where you can find and see the trends. But that's actually not very difficult. Verdi vers you can do it on YouTube itself. See what your competitors are doing and see what they're focusing on and see if they get a attraction or not. And if it is, that means that topic is trendy, and you can focus on that. If there is nothing like that, if the competitors do not have anything that different, then you can use other tools like Google Trends. Go to go to Google Trans Gob, see all the trending topics and all the rising topics. And also, you can search different topics and see how they are performing right now. Can see whether they're trending upwards or they have reached their peak long ago, or they're trading downwards or everything, all in all of an existence of YouTube and Google. And yes, you can focus separately on a YouTube search in Google Trends. Also, one neat strick there, you can actually compare different topics to see how they're trading against each other. So for example, if you have a gaming channel, and you want to see which game is more popular right now, you can use Google Trans for that. And also what's very important trans actually shows you the popularity by the countries as well. So if you're focusing on separate and specific countries, you can use the Go trend data for that. Just write down all those different topic ideas and choose the ones that you feel like will get the most hues or just reach the most audiences that you want to reach right now. And after that, I will suggest you to create a content calendar. Now, cada in itself does not have a huge power. Well, just setting dates to create different videos. That's it. But in reality, it's actually far more powerful. By setting up a content calendar, s is giving yourself deadlines. And by giving yourself deadlines, you see clearly where you are in your journey. Like for example, if you have a once a week upload schedule, you choose one day where you upload the video, and you create deadlines for yourself to upload those videos every single week, no matter what. And contrary to the popular belief, this is more for you than for your viewers. Yes, a lot of YouTube creators and lot of traders are telling you, you need to be consistent because people are expecting videos from you, but in reality, absolute majority will not be waiting anything for you, especially if you're a beginner. And this content calendar and this consistency rule is important for you. Create a portfolio of videos and also different data points for you to measure how popular different topics are with your audiences. To an absolute reality, this consistency trick or this consistency rule is not for your viewers. It is for you. Even that's not all, of course, with the content creation. There's much more to that as well. So when you research different trends, you are more working on a trending topics, but this is not the only type of videos that you can create. You can actually create and ever bring videos as well. Now, what many people will be telling you that you focus on a high search volume keywords with a very low competition and things like that, in order to succeed on you. That is a bunch of BS. You do focus on high search volume keywords, but also that are highly relevant for your channel. For example, if you have a channel that reviews microphones, does mean faces or faceless. You also quickly find out there are many videos talking about the best microphones or how to choose the ferent microphones or explaining different parts of microphones. And with all the mentality that a lot of people will be teaching you, you should not be making any videos about that because there will be too big of a competition. In reality, it's again, BS. You not just should create this type of videos. You must create this type of videos because this will be considered as an evergreen and core content. Will be the type of the videos that will be viable for years to come and will generate your reviews from there. And this videos will have one unique trait that no other video will have. It will be your touch. Yes, you will not be there, but you will be putting your knowledge there or you will be putting your AIs knowledge there with your touches. This makes it different from everyone else. With the correct usage of AI in this key case, in the video AI, you'll be able to craft videos that will be irresistible. Also, you will have one other advantage. Your video will be much newer than all those old bores that you are trying to compete against. Video age actually matters. We're going to be discussing this a little bit more in SEO part, but telling you right now, videos age matters quite a lot. So in the beginning of your channel journey, I would suggest you to create the videos that you know will be beneficial for your viewers. The general topics. The general videos that will be explained by you in a bit of different way because it's explained by you. Well, not directly by you, well you will write a script for that, that AI will be talking. And also where AI will be putting Bur footage over it. So yeah, in order to plan your quanta strategy, you intro dou these things. Then this is summing everything that we sit in this lecture. First focus on goals and objectives of your content, that view different trends in your similar insies. That check trends with Google Trends tool, plan your evergreen content as well and create a content Cledar with a consistent schedule for your self, not for anyone else, only for yourself. Should end of the next lecture, were actually going to start using it VideI to start writing our first scripts. So I'm going to see you in the next lecture. Take care. A 10. Scriptwriting for Engagement with InVideo AI: Let's now talk about scripting. Scripting is an important part of creating faceless videos. And it's important part for any tube videos. Here right now, we are going to be using and incorporating the help of in Video AI in it create very powerful scripts. Now, technically, with the faceless challenge, you can go with three different ways of scripting. And you can choose any of those paths, but I'm going to start with the most difficult one and then get to the path. First, and of course, most difficult one is to go with the manual. Just write the script all by yourself. Every single word will be yours, and every single thing will be written by you. Usually, this is most controlled environment that you're going to be able to achieve the most. But it's also most difficult because it will take the most amount of time, but an effort in order to get to the ideas to actually write something. The second way that you can choose is to well, incorporate the help of AI. In this case, you're going to use any generative tax AI. Like, you can use cha GPT, Bing, whatever it is, you can use just ask NAI to write it for you, and it will do it. That's actually not that difficult. But after that you will need to start actually making the video, right? You need to create a voiceover, you need to create video itself, et cetera, et cetera. And to help you with that, we have the third way, and it is using it Video AI for scriptwriting. But how it is that. Now before we're going to move on on how to Do this. Let's say that you have the first two written. How we can use the help of InVideo AI, if you have written script yourself or if you have used other AIs, how to use IVideo AI to actually to actually create the videos for you? Well, you can actually do this. Because in Video AI actually has a script to video feature. But before we're going to do this, you need to have an inideo AI account. That's rather easy. All you need to do is just register for the free count, and you are good to go. Video AI has extremely simple UI. All into you just choose a script to video workflow. In this case, you will have an additional prompt, additional ways to edit your prompt to create a video. Now, block for example, you can choose a video type, you can ask to create a regular video, YouTube video, TikTok video, Instagram video. It will adjust a way of creating video based on what you'll ask to do. After that, you just got a pate script. Choose the background music, and you can choose the background music literally by writing a prompt. You can ask it to be dark or upbeat or happy or whatever the way that you want it to be. And then you can ask it to use any voice that you want. Male, female or through different accents or you can ask it to use your own voice. If you have one, of course. And that's basically it. You just click continue and it will start analyzing Gf. I'll ask you for additional information about the video, what type, like additional information or what type of video it will be or what type of things to add. After that, it will generate a video just like that. If you have a script, of course. But let's say you don't have a script. Let's say you don't have a time Well, actually, InVideo AI can generate script for you as well from absolute scratch. What you will need to do is either choose one of the workflow, you will have something that fits in the work flock, for example, if you're going to for example, if you're going to go would you take explainer or just you tube short or recent events video, things like that, and you put the information there. You can just write the prompt right then there. You can just give the topic, give the detailed destructure of what you want this video to be. And what invido will do is to actually generate script for you using AI. It has never been that simple to make the video from scratch. All you need to do literally is to explain what you want the video to be in as much detail as you possibly can. Because if you are creating the YouTube video, you most likely have something in mind and just explain everything to in video, and that's it. And you also have plenty of characters to explain as much details as possible. I can actually generate quite long videos as well. But that's not all. But in video AI will generate a script for you. It will also generate a video for you. But it will also give you an ability to fix your script. In Video will not just create a script. It will divide the script into paragraphs and into chapters. And it can actually edit all of those things. And not just that. You can actually addit Media keywords as well, but we're going to talk about this in one of the future lectures. Just take a look at the script and fix some inconsistencies or mistakes that you might see. And that's practically it. Creating the videos has never been that easy. You can duplicate the chapters, you can add chapters before you can add chapters after. And yeah, it will actually give you the chapter T Stems as well if you want to put it in a YouTube video in the future. No quick tips with the script. That it's very important. Pay really, really close attention to the first chapter or first paragraphs and to the last ones. Now, what you need to do is to see if the first synthesis or first paragraph is hooking the viewer and explaining the videos beginning in very engaging and interesting way. Open video usually will generate a great script, but hook is all up to you. Unfortunately, in this day and age, AI is not as developed to create an amazing hooks every single time. It creates a great video, but it cannot understand what hooks work right now or not. So you need to be very close attention and choose different interesting hooks in order to grab people's attention. Because on YouTube. First 30 seconds, if you have a long form video, is deciding factor and make sure that fs 30 seconds is as crafted as it a possible. Also make sure that the last chapter at the very end, you have very correct call to actions. Like if you want someone to subscribe or if you want someone to go to the link or purchase something, and also just make sure that you put a little bit call to action like subscribe the middle of the video. But I suggest you still to focus only at the end at first because people that usually go all the way to the end of the video are more ten to subscribe than the ones that you ask right in the beginning or in the middle all of that, and you're going to have an amazing script. And in the next video, we're going to be focusing more a little bit on the voice. So I'm going to see you in the next lecture. Take care. 11. Voiceover Techniques and Tips Using InVideo AI: Now to be fair, if you've got to focus on a voice of individuo I. It's not really that difficult. I would say it's very easy and straightforward. Because while using a voice, you either have one of two things. You're either using your own voice or you're using the AI voice. Now, judging that you want to create your voiceless channel, there's a high chance that you don't want to use your own voice. And by the way, by your own voice, I mean that you are asking in Video AI to transform your own voice into AI's voice. It will speak with your voice as closely as possible, but not exactly like. This way, you will kind of like have a personal brand touch if you want to use it, of course. But I would suggest that because you want a faceless channel, there is high chest that you don't want. But in case that you want, that's what you need to do. You actually need to add your own voice to invid AI. And to do so, you need to just use the clone your own voice, but Cloning your own voice is not very easy task, but it's rather sad. Student, you have the recordings of your own voice, and it should be at least 30 seconds long and the longer it will be the better. After that, you will have to mention the few phrases, so you just cannot use any random voices. For example, you must mention the phrase, I give in Video AI the permission to use my voice, et cetera et cetera, whatever it is. I'm not going to be saying it right now, but you can actually see it in in Video AI dashboard. You also have to pause it between sentences like you normally would, and you need to record in high quality equipment to have as high quality voice as possible. So if you're recording in a noisy environment, and your microphone is very bad or it's not sufficiently edited, well, I would not suggest you to do it. But if you decide, yeah, equipment like mine, more or less high quality, you record you record in very good environments. Yeah, that would be quite helpful. If you want faces cha, that because you don't want to show your face or voice, but you want to diversify your portfolio and have more channels, and you just don't have time to record every single thing by yourself. Let's say now you want to use just you want to use AI voice. Video, you have quite a lot of choices in this rod. At the moment of the recording, unfortunately, you don't have an ability to review what different voices sound like, but hopefully by the time you watch this video, the preview is actually available. So what you can use in some workflows, you can actually choose the voice using a special menus. But if you but if you are not using wor actually use the prompt. But ask which voice that you want to use. But if you want the list of the voice, this is the list. First, you can ask it to use any voice, or you can ask it to use a male voice or a female voice. Then you have a choice of different accents like clear American voice, like Californian accent, like New York accent, Southern accent, Midwestern accent, like Transatlantic voice, and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You have everything given, including Indian English voices, or even Australian voices, or even British voices. I do have quite a lot of choice to be fair. But all of those voices have one thing in They are extremely, extremely high quality. Like any person who have not listened to all of those voices would never think that this is actually an AI voice. It sounds like very very, very good quality voiceover and a voice actor. So it's extremely good voices there. Now, you can actually use any voice depending on the content that you have, and it's better to use the same voice consistently. But I want to give you a few advice that you have as higher quality voiceover as the voiceover is using your script in order to understand what to say and how to say it. And it's extremely important to have your script very correct with very correct punctuations and pauses and spaces and everything. It is extremely important to have that. The quality of your voiceover will be purely dictated by the quality of your If the script is purely generated by individual AI, usually you will not have a lot of mistakes like that. But if you're writing script yourself, then you might have those mistakes, and you have to be very careful to not have a need to regenerate everything from a scratch and then wait for the generation, and then check the for mistakes again. Again, it is very important to check the Other than that, just make sure that you request correct tone and dresses up to experimentation, whatever the tonality and voice that you would like to use in your videos. That's basically it. It's very simple to use in video AI to generate amazing voices. Hared with a great music and videos, yet, it will sound that look quite amazing. But speaking of music and videos, let's focus on that purely in the next lecture after that. So I'm going to see your next one. Take care. 12. Finding and Using Royalty-Free Media with InVideo AI: Now we're get the interesting part of individo AI to actually finding the B role or a role of the footage if you want and using the great music. First of, let's get a very simple thing out of the way. It is music. What Id is doing, it's actually scouring through royalty free music and add it to your video with a correct volume and correct docking based on the moods that you want to create. This way, it will create exactly the mood that you want, and all you will need to do is literally just to say what type of mood you want your music to be. That's it. That's literally it. There is no much else. At least not much else to populate your entire video with this amazing music. But music is. But now you have a script, you have a voiceover, and now you have a music. But that's not a video. You literally need video. How you can use in Video I to actually generate the video? First, express what in video it will use as a video. And Video has a large base of stock videos and pretty high quality stock videos, Bc sory blocks and I what in video will do. Now it will scour through script and divide the entire video into paragraphs. And then it will scour through those paragraphs and find the keywords that will perfectly fit your video, and then it will try to find the stop footage based on those keywords. That's how it works. There's no magic there. It's just very clever AI work. But you can actually change this media in whatever way that you want. Now, fic first, it will generate the entire video. Then you can scour through the entire video and you can edit everything D so, go to the video that will generates for you and press edit button. Now we can edit the media in one of a few ways. You can just edit media or edit script. And let me know why you need a ded script. First let's start with dit media. With an added media, you will have basically a timeline of your media files that will be visible, and you also have your script. It will also highlight in which part of your script certain media files will be visible. What you can do is you can select the media file that, for example, that you do not like, just do a few off things. First things first, you can click this triple point button, and just adjust the ideal duration, for example, which duration, how long you want the certain media file to be? Also shows the actual length of the sat media file as well, so you would not overdo it and do not ask to use this media file for longer than actual media file is. Or you can just select the file and just change the media. You can search different media file that you want. Or if you have your own videos that you probably have, you can actually change it with your own videos. And then just click replace. That's it. And you can do this with every single media file. But let's say that you do not like everything and you want everything to be regenerated. You can do that as well. You do that, you go to edit script and see this play button with every single paragraph of the text. What this is, this is media keywords. Now, this is basically what keywords that you want to use to search the media. And the in video is actually populating everything this by itself. But you can actually change this. But for example, if you want something completely different, nothing related that you are talking about, you can't do that. And you'll find this completely unrelated media files as well when you regenerate the video in its entirety. And you can do this with every single That just that. You can actually add the title text two videos and by judging on this text, you can understand that it's very, very powerful, especially if you have some type of educational content because yeah, this text actually helps you to understand things more. To do so in the same added script, you can actually change a text element, like adding a title text overlay or over third. And then you can just write the text that you want there to be. That's it. It's very, very easy. Invidia AI understands perfectly that the words that you are speaking is important, the media files are important, and it also gives you the way of controlling how AI is finding those media files and also gives you the ability to add text. That's actually not all. Video AI actually allows you to add subtitles with the different styles as well. This usually works more with YouTube shorts and other short style videos. You can actually add those with the prompt through a dropdown menu like from the YouTube shorts workflow. Elect for example, you can add a different styles of subtitle. This way will make video even more engaging. Now we can manipulate and change all this on the fly. Trust me, it is much easier than making all the video from the scare. Basically, in do is creating everything for you and gives you an ability to fix and change in the way that you want. And yeah, it's much easier to do everything from zero and searching and downloading all the stock footage by yourself. And with enough, it's also cheaper as well. Because even if you're going to use the premium stock footage with the individual subscriptions, it's much cheaper than actually going and getting this premium stock footage by yourself. Lina. Basically, you're not just getting a very competent video. You're also getting a free stock footage. How amazing is that. But speaking of free stock footage and speaking of editing, there are a few things that I want to talk about and discuss to make using of in Video AI as easy and as productive as possible for your pasteles channel, and also you're going to use some other tools to make it as productive as possible. So I'm going to see you the next lecture. Take care. Oh. 13. Editing Videos for Maximum Impact with InVideo AI: Now, really enough, you know how to use in video AI. Yeah. That was it. That's extremely extremely simple because inVideo AI is simplifying everything for you to the max. AI is doing 95% of the things that you should be doing. And all it is required from you is to make everything coherent and to make everything usable and to well basically have a reason for the video. And here are a few of my tips to do and to use in Video AI as effectively as possible for faceless. One that I want to tell you is just to make sure that script is perfect. Just before you're going to go and watch the video, read through an entire script and make sure that the script is per pack. Mean that there are no mistakes because it's a AI. AI is making mistakes. Just make sure that there are no mistakes. Also bonus for the script, and I said it before, and I will say it again, M sure that the first 30 seconds of the script, basically the first few paragraphs are per pack because this is the thing that most people will watch. Absolute majority of people will watch. Your goal is to retain a 50 to 70% through first 30 seconds. Because if they will go through the first 30 seconds, they will most likely to go all the way through the video. Not all of them, but a large number of them will get all the way through the video, and you want that to be reality. That's what you want. Also make sure that there is a clear call to action in the video, whether it's just subscription or whether they're just going through different websites or just asking to check out the description, make sure that it is clear in every single one of your videos. We don't have call to action. At least ask you at least ask people to L and subscribe. In every single video. Next is, make sure to check out every single media file that in video will add. And also make sure that the lengths are good enough. Yes, you're going to actually change the length of these media files as well. Make sure that transitions between media files are in more or less organic places. Not a mid sent. It's better to have transitions near end of the sentence where full stop is. Also, I highly suggest you to always add your own footage. Some footage should be unique and not be stop. Sub footage is literally there to replace you. Like, for example, in this video, I could use entirety of a sub footage just to replace me and add only the relevant information and videos on the screen. Find some relevant footage to your video and add it there. Also be very careful with the music. Make sure that it has the correct mood. Because if you find the mood incorrectly, it will ruin the entire video, and nobody will understand why the video is ruined. But yeah, it's actually the music fault. Not the perfect music, but perfect mood of the music. Also make sure to use Tex video and use it a lot. If you're not going to be using subtitles everywhere, at least use different titles and lower thirds and text, because yeah, texts actually help you to get higher engagement. Because it actually changes the pace of the video a little bit and grabs attention to a certain part and certain point of the video. And more you will be grabbing the attention to certain points of the video, the better it will be. Ba it will kind of reset their attention, and people will stay for the videos longer. That's just how the video works. That's why usually the very highly at videos work. And you can replicate the same similar results with your own footage or with different titles and texts. And the same thing with subtitles. Another tip is to not over use subtitles. Burned in subtitles in the long form videos. Long form videos really do not require burned in subtitles, unless you really feel like it helps a video life. But for example, in the courses, it's actually helpful. Yeah, you can agree with me, especially with my speech. With my speed of speech, it actually helps you to understand more what I'm saying, and of course, with my accent. But usually, you do not need any longer You do need them in a short fall video though, because with short fall videos, attention spans are much shorter and you required to grab and keep people's attention as long as possible and actually text help you. Now there's also one personal tip of mine. This is the thing that I'm actually using with my own videos and you can use it for your own as well. Mostly make horizontal videos in in video. I'm talking about the long term videos. If your video is long form, like two, three, 4 minutes, do not make them vertical videos. Make them horizontal. Because what you will do is you will download those videos and repurpose them into vertical videos and in video software elective to resolve, to make it look much better for the vertical. Because if you'll just stretch the video to the vertical, look great. Or otherwise, if you just make the vertical videos very long, you cannot just strike them in horizontal. It will look very bad as well. And to make it actually very good, we just need to duplicate the video, or resize the back portion of the video to the maximum size of the screen for the vertical video and add a blur on it. Yes, and very heavy blur. Then add your regular video in front, shrink it to the optimal size by not really filling out the horizontal video and just cut a little bit to the side and make it look like a little bit like square. And that's it. But the back blur part will feel like a lighting and will make the video look much more pleasant than just adding a black parts on the top bot. Trust me, this way it works. Overall, my most and most important feature and most important tip will be to just always check what AI will create. To just click one button and just click export in the hope in hopes that in video AI will create a perfect video for you. Yeah, there is a chance that it will, but there is also a chance that it will not. Just take a little bit of extra chat, few minutes to check that everything is alright, and then just fix the mistakes. It will not take a lot of time. And it's much better to do it at the moment before you export it than to try to fix it later when what someone else will discover the. Also, most importantly, start using individuo. It's absolutely free to start and you'll be able to check every future and how it works. It's actually very powerful and quite impressive. Now when you have everything to create videos and the next section, we're going to focus more on SCO and analytics, the important nerdy parts of the YouTube, that will help you a lot. So I'm going to see you there. Take care. 14. Understanding YouTube SEO: So understanding YouTube SCO is very important for you. And it's not as difficult as you might think. Many people are painting CO was like this big analytics type of job that you need to do for really, really long time in order to understand what you're doing. But in reality is extremely simple. In its essence, SCO basically means putting all the information in your YouTube ides, titles, and descriptions in order to make it as easy to understand for YouTube alg Motu Video is to serve it to the correct audience. That's That means that you need to title your video and put the right description in order to make it as discoverable as possible. But to do so you need to understand two things. You need to look at your video and think of what type of video is this? Is this the video that what people stumble upon or whether this is the video that people are actively searching for? This is actually important to differentiate before you're going to start creating your video. So think about this the next time you're going to create your video. Now, why it is important anyways, you need to optimize your video for a CO. But you need to think of this that way because if your video is highly searchable, you need to focus on what people are looking for. And if the video is highly discoverable, you need to intrigue people with your title. This must be something interesting that entices them to click. This of course, alongside of the thumbnail. But let me put you in a little secret title is actually far more important than a thumbnail. Thumbnail stops attention of the people, but title actually entices them to click. No one is clicking thumb nail. Everyone is clicking a title. Usually, the attention of the viewer goes like that. First is Stumnil, then it is title, then is the video itself. How to accommodate for that and what you need to do? Of course, we're going to go to details two other lectures, but first, you said what you need to focus on. What parts of UT video you need to focus on more or less? First, the title. Title is the most important part. Do not overlook that. Do Do not have hazarly tit your videos. The titles are the things that will get you the clicks and will get you the views. And of course, com that will get you matter how great your video is, no matter what amazing thing that Video AI will generate for you. If the title will not reflect that, nobody will watch it. So title is single most important part that you need to be focusing on. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything about that. The second important part is description. Description is actually helps the title to be more visible and more underst description is a part where you should put every bit of information that you can put about the video in there. And that's where the most of the keywords and most of the SEO is actually happening. And most of the description is for you to valuate them and less for the actual viewers. Unless you have specific links in that does you want viewers to click. And that's why usually take people into your descriptions. And last, but actually least the tags. Contrary to the popular belief that is extremely old and outdated. Tags very little impact on Video discoverability. Little to none, I can say. And doesn't matter whether you fill out the tax or not, it is just not affecting that much. Is that affecting your vidal discoverability? Almost at all? Does mean that you should not the tax? No. Tax I have actually other uses data I will teach you. What are the tools that you need for yourSEO? Actually, you don't need that much. But if you insist for the specific tools, I'll suggest you to install social blade extension, VDIQ, and two body extensions. Yes, VQ and two body are doing basically the same thing. Going to be using free features of both of them. So let's reiterate everything really quick. SO is important for your video discoverability, and that actually gets you the views. A is important for algorithm to understand what your video is all about. SO is important no matter whether you are creating discoverable video or searchable video. And important wise, the most important SCO part is title that description and the last tags. In the next lecture, we're going to start focusing on keyword research and actually finding the best keywords for your videos. Also, we're going to talk a little bit about tagging. I'm going to see the next lecture. Take care. M. 15. Keyword Research and Tagging: Now let's get to your practical part? How you can research your keywords. Now, in a previous stuure, I said that you need to focus on whether you want your video to be discoverable or searchable. The key difference is that nobody is searching for the discoverable videos. They are just stumbling upon them. And those videos usually get the most used. But in many cases, especially in the beginning of the Channels life cycle, those videos are gambled. I never suggest anyone to focus on that. I would always suggest you to focus on a searchable videos first, something that people will actively seeking and where you will solve their problems. So how do you find the effective keywords? Well, first things first, you need to think about your video is all about. Mean literally, if someone will search for your video, what words will they use? So for example, if you're creating videos about best microphones and $100, what people will be looking for? Well, they will be searching for best microphones. That's as simple as that. Those two keywords are searchable. But what else? What are the keywords that you can use in your titles? Well, you see YouTube is actually helping you quite a lot with that? Because you can just can the title your videos as a beast microphones, but it won't be enough. It's just way too broad. Des not explain what exactly you're talking about, cheap microphones, expensive microphones for music, for gaming, for communication, or whatever it is. It does not explain everything. So you need to expand your title to accommodate more long term keywards. How to find the best ones and what that other people are searching for? Well, see, you don't need any tools for that. YouTube is actually telling you exactly what you need to do. All need to do is just put in the keyward that you want. Now for this case best McPhone. YouTube will fill out the rest for you. Usually, those search predictions that YouTube is auto filling for you, are the ones that people are actually actively looking for at that very moment. That means that those topics are in demand. For example, it can be best McPhone for YouTube, best McPone for gaming, best Mc phone for iPhone or whatever it is. Basically, YouTube is giving you all the information that you want Basically, very simply and very easily, you have an exact keyword that you want to use in your title. But that's not all. There is actually a way to predict whether your video will be successful or not. Like, for example, if you'll search for the best keyword for YouTube, well, it will show me all the videos about that. But all those videos are your competitors. Now you need to position yourself against those competitors, and how you need to do that? Well, you need to analyze whether it's a good idea to go against them or not. And I will tell you how you can analyze. And I'm going to use VDIQ for that. VDQ is absolutely free, so you can install it and use it for yourself. What VDC is doing is VIDAQ is actually analyzing the search results. There are a few important parts that we acquire. Like for example, when you search for the specific keywords, you will actually see how many times in a top 20 videos, those keywords are used exactly in a title. But that's not all. You actually can get more information than just top 20. We're going to scroll down a little bit, we're going to scroll down the videos and allow YouTube to load all of those videos. All of this information will actually be loaded in a VIQ. That VDIQ, will actually read all those information from all of those videos and will actually allow you to analyze all of those videos at once. And when it's scrolled back up, VIDAQ will give you analysis of all of those videos. And you can analyze hundreds of videos like that. And what it will give you is a few important bits of s, how many videos are actually using those exact words in the title. If you see the keywords used less than 10%, that's a perfect keyword to use. If you see the same things in the description, and I mean the first two lines of the descriptions and if it's less than 10%, this keyword is actually a good target. Last but not least bit of information is average age of the video. If average age is more than a year, this is a slam down. Also VA Q is given the volume of the Anything about 50% is a good keyward. That means that a lot of people are actually looking for the videos about that, and most studios are actually one year or older. That means this is the perfect opportunity for you to use this keyboard. And all you need to do is put this keyboard in a title and in your description, and don't worry. I'm going to show you exactly how to do that. You have a maximum chances for king, and that's it. All we use was YouTube's own search predictions, and we use the free version of DAQ where we can analyze hundreds of videos to get a very detailed dalytics and predictions of what we can actually create. And all the left for us to do is just actually start creating. How simple is that? But let me tell you a little bit about tagging. Why tagging is not important and where you can actually use the tax. Tag actually don't have that much effect on actual regio And that was actually conferred multiple times by UTP themselves and prominent tagging tools VDAQ and two bodies. So why would you use the tax? Well, you can actually use them to see where you rank for those specific tax. You see, when you put the tax, and if you have DAQ installed or two body installed, they will actually tell you where do you rank. Meaning that if someone search for the specific keywords, will you be visible on top or you'll not be visible at all. Takes the hustle away from you manually searching for those specific Qs. That's the only reason why you would use tax. Other than that, they don't have that much impact, and I would still suggest you to use them just in case. The next video, we're going to focus on how we can actually optimize your video titles and descriptions in order to maximize results in order to rank very, very high for any keywords. We're going to see you the next one. Thank you. 16. Optimizing Your Video Titles and Descriptions: Now we have an approximate understanding what you want your videos title to be. But that's just an approximate. We need to actually craft a good title and optimize our description for that. So let's get start with this one. First thing that you need to understand is that the YouTube video title always consists of several parts. And usually those are two parts. One part that works toward algorithm and one that works towards the viewer. One part should be the part that is easily searchable and another one that is enticing people to click. Look for example, if your main keyword is, let's say, the microphones review sure M V seven review. You're just putting Sure MV seven review in the title. But this is just one part. Other part needs to work towards the viewer, meaning that it an entire step to click. Now, you can actually use other part as an additional keyboard. Like, for example, I can say Sure MV seven review the best microphone for voice recording or best McPha for streaming or whatever it is. And this way, I can actually the gate much more click. Because I will be targeting two long tail keywords. But the second part, the best microphone for streaming also works towards the viewer. Because the viewer can easily understand the sentiment behind the video. Because yeah, the entire video will not be just a reviewing Sure M seven, but it also building it up to answer the question whether it's the best Mcphon for streaming or for giving or for whatever it is. So this gives the correct sentiment. Now we need to be very careful with that and always give the correct sentiment because otherwise, your video will count as a click pate. And contr is the belief click pate is not a good thing. I click bit will get you a lot of use, but it will not get you a lot of subscribers, and it will put you in a bad way with the algory. You don't want to do that. So do not, no matter what, use a click bit. Always use the words and phrases in a title that are true and are connected to your video. Do the same with a thumbnail. And always I repeat always have at least one long tail keyword in the title. By long tail, I mean that something that has a few words. If, of course, it's applicable towards your video. If you followed our previous lecture, it's very easy to find out what people are actually looking for and what you need to put in the title. When I say a title actually decides whether people will w you or not, it is true. You need to work on crafting a good title. There is no definitive formula on the successful titles. Use me, I looked everywhere, experimented with everything. There is no definitive formula, no matter what people will tell you, there is none. Something might work for specific type of people for only very specific time. Though if I will teach you that, I will just be teaching you outdated information, and it just But one thing always stays true. You need to use the keywords in the title and and the title should be true and explaining the sentiment of the video very precisely. If people will not click the video, it's not because the title is bad, it's because the actual idea of the video is not good enough. Man that people just don't want to descriptions are also very important and very often overlooked. C YouTube algorithm not just scours the title and tax for an actual keywords, so it does less for the tax though. It scours the description as well. YouTube needs to understand what the video is all about, and if description is correct and coincides with the words that you see in your video because yeah, YouTube can actually transcribe your video and understand of the video is all about as well. YouTube will use the words from description as a keyword. Now there is actually a way to put keywords correctly in the video. You can actually create an entire paragraph explaining what the video is and incorporate the keywords that you want to be searched with within this paragraph. You can do this manual. Or you can use the AI text tools like a GPT, and ask it to write your paragraph explaining what the video is and ask it to use specific keywords. Way to craft you most likely quite a good AI description. Or alternatively, you can do things like I do. Just use the tools like VDAQ, find a good amount of tax, put a text in a tag field, copy all the texts, create a separate section in your description titled topics of the video, and write all the texts in there. But make it look nice. Don't just throw them in there with a comma. Just make them look quite nice. Also one thing that is often overlooked description is call to action. You need to include all the call to actions in description, L subscribe or go to the different stores or websites, just to generate you some contradict the popular belief, many people are scouring through descriptions and many people are actually click in different links. Why not put a good call to action there as well? Also know that you can actually change the titles and descriptions anytime, you can actually experiment with different titles and descriptions to see what will work for you. Now again, none of this matters if you do not choose your titles correctly and by correctly, I mean truthfully, all the titles and descriptions should give a correct and truthful description of what your video is all about. YouTube will understand whether you're Because again, it can transcribe your video and understand what is happening in your video and if it does not coincide with your description and your keywords, they will punish you. So do not use your relevant keywords to not keyword stuff and just be truthful. It is not as difficult as you might think. And also important thing. I'll suggest you to create aplo default. It's done through your account setting where you can actually set up the description which will feature the structure or all the relevant links that is the same for every other video. All you need to do is just fill out with the information that is relevant for that specific video, and that's it. You will not need to craft the description from zero every single time. But one thing is crafting, another thing is actually understanding and analyzing it. I the next lecture, we're going to focus on analyzing your videos and the channel performance and see what you can change and what needs to be changed in your title descriptions or overall in your ICO. I'm going to see the next lecture. Take care. M. 17. Analyzing Your Channel’s Performance: I cannot even stress enough how important it is to learn how to read analytics of your YouTube channel, and of every single one of your Tub videos. Whether it's a faceless channel, fake channel, any type of channel, analytics actually tells you what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, and you need to adapt to it accordingly. And this way, you can modify your future or even the existing videos in a way to be visible to as large audience as possible. So they just learn how to read analytics and how to associate success or failure to the numbers. Before you're going to go into analytics, you need to learn one thing about your video success or failure. If your video failed, the first thing that you deject how competitive the video topic was. Maybe because when you uploaded the video about that topic, someone else or a lot of other individuals uploaded the same video as you did. Basically, they practically took a with the spotlight from you because yeah, there was not enough audience for all of you and you lost. That's the first thing that you need to check. After you, you need to check a few other things. Important parameter is CTR. The CTR is, of course, dictated purely by video title and T thumbnail. If you want real numbers comparison, title has around 70% impact on it, and Tamil has around 30. So for example, if you're competing with other video for the same spot and for the same topic, if you have a very similar titles with the one with a better thumbnail will win. But if you have a better title, even if they have a better thumbnail, So if you CTR is low, that means that you did not entice people to click on your video? That means your title was bad. It was not intriguing enough, it was not search u, and you need to work to fix that. That is probably the main thing that you need to do. Now, that sad, if your tubnil is really bad, it doesn't really matter how great your title is. Everything that I said about title implies that your Tubnil is actually somewhat good. It's not click radio or anything. It has nice colors. The texton is clearly visible and everything like that. Title and the real ID of the video is really important. Be if no one looks like it, why does it matter whether it's your faced, faceless, or anything else. Next important and probably the more important for you will be the audience retention basically shows how you are retaining your audience and whether your video was actually good or not. Because the first thing is to enticing people to click. But the next thing is to make people stay throughout your video. Because if people are not staying, they're not watching your video. That means that your video was bad. And this retention graph will actually show you. Now, granted, there can be also one more reason why people are not watching your video roughout. It's because your SCO was wrong. YouTube showed the videos in the wrong audience, and you failed because of that. So you need to take that into account as well while you are thinking about audience retention. So how to read audience retention. But the most important part for you is the first 30 seconds. If at least 50% of the people are staying at the 32nd mark, that means that you're doing some the actual goal should be somewhere around 60 to 70%. If you can get higher, that's absolute perfection. This way, you two will understand that your video is actually quite Good and be watchable. If they don't say they are either a few things. First, your title and Tamil was a completely different thing and your video was completely about something else. I assume that you are not doing that because you should not. Or you did not deliver anything of value with the first 30 seconds. Use the first 30 seconds to deliver something valuable and also explain what the rest of the video will be about. Basically, your first 30 seconds should be very detailed and very thoughtful YouTube title basically. So you'd explain everything else that will be in the video in the first 30 seconds. Also make sure to check your average view duration as well. Because first 30 seconds is important, but the rest of the video will be as important as well. Because you don't want any point in the video where your viewership drops significantly. Sure to check out every single piece, every single part of the video or people are dropping off to never make the same mistake in your video. Maybe it's something that you said, maybe something that you showed, and if people are dropping out from there. Do not repeat that mistake. Now, a lot of people would say that you need to do X Y and Z in order to retain people, but they would be actually lying because only you with your niche, with your audience, can know exactly what your viewers actually want. And to do so, you will need to experiment to see a lot of different things. And CTR, audience retention and every guion will give perfect understanding what is working for achannel, and what's not, and you will double down on fix at work and remove anything that doesn't. That means that every next video that you'll create will be better than the previous one. No one is reaching success on YouTube out of the blue in a vacuum. Everyone who reached success on YouTube very quickly with the first videos had a substantial background that they did not show on their channels, especially on the paceless ones. So if you will make a lot of mistakes on your first videos, do not be discouraged. It's just part of the process. You will fix those mistakes if you're willing to do so. It's a difficult job, and if you'll treat it as a job and as a job that you like, you will reach success with no worries about that. Also pay close attention to likes like Even though not everybody can see that anymore, you can see that, and you need to understand perfectly where people are liking and disliking your videos, and why are they doing that? So y, Pay Clos you to that as well. In the next section, we're going to focus on the thing that you're probably waiting for monetization strategies. So I'm going to see you the next one. Take care. 18. Overview of Monetization Options: Now, what many YouTube creators and especially the faceless YouTube creators do not understand is how to actually monetize their channels. Most of them think that YouTube Partner program or rather what YouTube motization in titles behind it is just showing of ads in front of or at the end during the middle of the video. While there is most common way of making money from YouTube channels, it's not the only one. And by far, it's not the largest. And I can say it down right, it can be actually the smallest, but you need it because this is truly the closest thing to the passive up that you can get on faceless YouTube channels. So let's start talking about that. What is YouTube Partner After you create your channel, upload some videos, and after fulfilling some requirements, which we're going to talk about in a few seconds, you'll be giving access to UTU Partner Program. Well, if you are eligible, of course, and have not violated any rules. And with the two we will have access to multiple different ways of tiz channels, not just ads. Because Tub allows you to motize content in multiple different ways. First, of course, is watch page ads, which is ads for the longer phone videos. Then there are short speed ads It's kind of calculated from the revenue pool for a short ads. There's also membership that people can sign up with. There are also super basically super chats and super stickers that can be sent to you through comments or chat if you're doing lis tubes, which you probably will not be doing rough have a faceless channel. There is also brand connect, which basically allows you to fight motization directly through YouTube and there is also option to add your own shop. All those things can be done through YouTube Partner program. So it's not just ads, but that's not all. You should not focus only on that. Because you require a few things in order to gain access And you also need to be in constant good sending with YouTube. But there are also other ways to make money from the faceless Tub channels, it does not even require you to have a partner program or anything else for that matter. All you need to do is all need to have, is just have a YouTube channel and just have some views. And by alternative methods, it can be by selling your own merch, selling your own digital products, affiliate marketing, and sponsorships and partnerships. This is where true money lies. And also, in order to maximize your profit, you intro send your demographics, mean that who is watching you and from where? Because based on the language of the content that you will create You're going to have far more or far less income from mozation. But usually, what I suggested to you is just create your content in English. Since you'll be using AI to create content anyways, it's just safe as bad for as many viewers as possible for as high revenue income as possible. But there is also one more thing that is extremely important, and this is a balancing view experience with monetization. Your video should not be filled up with ads. Your video should not be filled up with sponsorships. Because otherwise, people will just stop watching Balancing of Monts view experience is incredibly important. You need to have far more viewer experience, positive one than just trying to sell something. That's just extremely important that many people are overlooking this because nobody likes to be sold a lot of things in front of them, especially if they're not interesting in those things. Introdc in perfectly what your viewer wants, why they're watching your videos, and if you can sell them something, what you can sell them, and why you think that they will buy. Anything that you will promote and anything that will generate your revenue. Should solve some problems. And those should be the problems that your viewers have, where they will gladly pay you to solve those problems. You should not be just making money for the sake of making money. You should actually be solving some issues, and those issues should be solved through your videos or the products that you're selling. No matter whether it's a course, a T shirt or ad for the sponsor, it should be beneficial for your viewers. The earlier you will understand this, the better it will be for you, and eventually more you will earn. Do not break the trust with your viewers just to make a quick buck. It is not worth it. It is never worth. Let's start talking about montation strategies and the next lecture we're going to focus on add revenues and how to maximize add revenues from you to partner program. I'm going to see the next lecture. Take care. 19. Maximizing Ad Revenue with Engaging Content: Okay, maximizing your add revenue is not as difficult as you may think. You just need to follow a few simple steps to maximize your add revenue from your YouTube Partner program. Before we're going to move on to that, I didn't tell you about what you need to have in order to qualify for YouTube Partner program. To do so your channel should have 1,000 subscribers, and it also needs to qualify one of two requirements. One of them. You don't need both of them, only one of them, and 1,000 subscribers, of course, which is the requirement. One of two requirements is that you need to have at 4,000 hours of watch time in the last 12 months, mean that all of your long form video should collect 4,000 hours of watch time. Or if you're uploading short, you need to have at least 10 million short views. If you're uploading both long form and short form videos, whichever will happen first, will qualify you to e to partner program. After that YouTube will evaluate you and tell you whether you're eligible for partner program or not. And yes, you might be ineligible if you're breaking some community guidelines and have a lot of claims and strikes. So again, as I said, be careful and do not play with YouTube. They do not like it and will not tolerate that. When you will get accepted to the part of program, which I'm shot it you will what you need to do in order to maximize your ad rates. Now, all of this is not a common information. It is changing quite fast. But overall, it states. There is only one metric that dictate what addrate you're going to have on your videos. And it is your audience. Who is watching your videos. Basically, the more valuable your audience will be, the higher add rates will be. So how to have a valuable audience. Well, you should create a content for them. And to create a content for them, you need to understand who is valuable. So first, let's get very simple things straight out weight. It's a language. Usually, the English speaking videos will get you the highest ad rate because they have the highest amount of. There are a few languages that will get you much higher ad rates, but you will get much wer reviews as well. So if you want to have the best of both worlds, create your videos in English. I know that most of you do not require this reminder, but trust me, some of you do. Second is the maturity of your audience. Your content should be mature. I meaning that it should not be childish. You have to be very serious with your content and your content should create a serious value. This way, you to attract more mature audiences which have more spending power, allowing you to have a higher add rates. Next is specificity. Your content should not be very general, it should be quite specific. That topic should not go all over the place, it should be very, very specific to the video. But not too specific. You need to find a perfect balance in your niche between the broad appeal and very narrow appeal. It should be somewhere in the middle. Because if the appeal is too broad, you are attracting a lot of different audiences, dropping your d rate, and if it's too narrow, you're not getting enough people, meaning that you might get the higher add rates, but not enough viewers. And also, you need to have kind of understanding of the financial status of your viewers. For that reason, the finance content works the best, because usually people who are watch your finance willing to spend more or need to spend more. And that's why the ads are also more expensive there. But if you create daily blocks, even with the faceless channel, trust me, you can create daily locks, even with the faceless channel, your audience will be way too broad and you are not going to gather high add rates. Even with all that in place, you can actually affect your add rate further. And is by using your ad placement. Things first, you erertand where ads will be placed in your video based on the length of If your video is less than 8 minutes long, ads will replace at the beginning and in the end of the video. There will be no other please. However, if your video is 8 minutes or longer, you are entitled for the meteral ads, meaning that you can put ads anywhere in the video. Technically, you're not even restricted with the number of ads, but now here are a few tips. You have to be very, very careful with where you put ads in your video. If you overdo it, people will be clicking off the video. They will not be watching your video, and overall, it will harm the videos performance. And well, you will going to get less views and less revenue from them. So where you should put your ads? Now, before you'll be able to put ads on your video, you probably have quite a sizable catalog of videos. The video that you created before you joined a partner program. And what you need to do is go and take a look on average watch time of those videos. For example, we'd say it is 3 minutes. Now, my rule of thumb is no matter what, do not put ads before this three minute mark. Do not. Only add that should be shown there's a pro ad. Do not put a miral ad anywhere inside the average watch time. You will drop your average watch time pile lot. So where you should put it? Pull fine, this average watcht and add another 30 seconds to 1 minute and put your miral ads there. But put those ads in very organic points. Meaning when you're move to a different chapter or when you're changing subject or when you're evolving the subject, only after you're done with sentence, do not put adds in a mid sentence. This feel wrong for the viewers and that might cause them to click So pay very close attention to the your experience, and you will be rewarded for that. But after you've done all this, your work will not be done. You need to pay really close attention to analytics on what works and what does it. You can think that you maximize your ad rates, but it might be something different. So pay close attention to your analytics. Se which videos, get the higher add rates, and try to understand why did they get that? And try to replicate that. It's as simple as that. Pay close attention to where you put your ads and whether it had an impact on your revenue or not. The best teacher in this case is your own experience, and you use it extensively. In the next video we're going to be focusing on something else something different, and we're going to be introducing a felt marketing to our videos. So let's see there. Take care. 20. Leveraging Affiliate Marketing through Videos: Now let's talk about affilate marketing. This is the thing that many people are thinking that it is an easy way to make money. But in reality, Ka is, but is not. Is a little bit of work in order for you to understand how it works and how it operates and how you can actually integrate this in your channel. Let's talk about afilate marketing and how you can integrate it into your faceless YouTube channel. Now, before we're going to do that, let's explain shortly what affilate marketing is. Affiliate marketing is a form of marketing. Basically, you're using your platform to market other people's products. Many people are painting this as a business model, but it's actually not. Affiliate marketing is not a business model. It's a marketing model. You're meaning that your role is just as a marketer. You're not creating the product, you're not selling product, you're marketing it. If you don't know what marketing in this case means, this means that you're getting as many eyeballs as possible to the product. Obligation is not to sell the products. Your obligation is to show this product exists and why someone else should buy. Sales are obligations of the company itself, who is providing the product services. Earlier you will understand this, the better it will be for you. And you also need to make sure that the product provider understands that as well. Why? In a few words? We cannot be responsible for the sale because you have no control Sales happening with the customer sees the product, the product that you do not have. So how would work in YouTube? Well, depend on the puro type of videos that you're creating. Not every video can integrate the filed marketing seamlessly. The filed marketing, you're basically taking someone else's product and trying to promote it to make sales from it. You are not selling it again. You are trying to promote it to make sales from it afterwards. So in order to integrate the filed marketing product and your videos, your videos should feature some products. That's easiest if we're talking about consumer products. For example, if you're doing reviews, if you're doing comparisons, if you're doing how tos, it's much easier to integrate affilate marketing programs in those videos that an in any other videos. But doesn't mean that other videos cannot integrate that. Now we'll give you a very simple example. Put you create a faceless YouTube video, you are using some tools, right? In this case, you're using invideo AI. Well, individuo has an affilate program. What you can do, as you can actually say in your video or can say new video or show it with a text or title somewhere, this video was created by individual AI. When put an affilate link in a description of your video. This way when someone else will purchase the pay plans of DII, you are going to get a kickback That is the simplest way to use in the fp marketing. Doesn't matter what type of video you create. As long as you're using in video AI, you're not lying, you're still showing the product because this video that you created is made at least in part within inideo AI, and you're just telling other people that you did that and allowing them to purchase it. That's just it. But if your videos are featuring the products, all you need to say in the video that the links to the products will be in a description down below. If your video is about the product and the product is interesting, people will click the links. After that, everything is out of your power. If they will make a sales, you're going to get a kickback. If not, you're not, but how to choose on how to find affiliate programs. Well it depends on the product. Different products have the affiliate marketing programs and also joining diffing affiliate networks. So if you have a product, just search and Google product name and affiliate program. That's just it. The simplest way to do so is through Amazon. If your product is featured on Amazon, Amazon has an associates program, which is basically Amazon's affiliate program. That means that every product that is being sold on Amazon, you can just put the links in the description and every time people will make sales, you're going to get a kickback. And what's great about Amazons afiate marketing is that you don't need to sell the specific product. If they will click the link, and then they will proceed to buy something else, you're going to get kickback from that as well. Now important part about the field marketing is that you are required to disclose that links are affiliate. So make sure that in a description somewhere, you disclose that links that you show in description are affate or can be a filed links. You always need to do so. You are required despite the law. Just make sure that you sign up for the field programs that are truthful and will hide actual sales from you because some small afilt programs are actually doing had a bad experience with this, and I hope that you will not have it. Make sure the company that you're working with is trustworthy and will adequately compensate you for your affiliate marketing services. Now, interesting part is, how much you can expect to make from this. Ness, it purely depends on what type of sales that you're making. Some affilate programs are very generous, giving you 50 or even after 70% of sales to you and even giving you monthly recurring revenue. Affiliate programs will generate you quite large amounts of income. But if you're for example, focusing on the smaller affilate programs like from Amazon, it is not small but pays you small. You most likely will not be making huge amounts of income unless you have a very large number of views and large interest behind the products. So I would say that if you focus on affilate sales quite well, you will earn as much, maybe a little bit more than what you can get from from YouTube's own monetization systems. But where real income and real money lies is not with the Filate program or UTS partner program. It's somewhere else, and one of those such places are sponsorships and partnerships. So in the next lecture, we're going to focus on exactly that. So I'm going to see you there. The care. 21. Exploring Sponsorships and Partnerships: Oh, boy, sponsorships and partnerships, the holy grail of YouTube's monetization. Everyone wants to reach at this stage because it's the most lucrative way to make money with videos, but it's also the most difficult one. And there is reason why. You see you need to understand what sponsorships or partnerships are to get people attracted to you. You need to understand that very well. So sponsorship is basically an ad on your video. Someone is paying you money directly in advance to promote their product, and your goal is that to promote their product. To get as many people to the sales, I mean, sales team or lending page or whatever it is and to encourage people to purchase the product. That means that it's not just their duty to pay you money, it's your duty to help them, not generate them, but to help them generate sales. When you understand this, you'll most likely understand how to do that for them. So how to attract a secure sponsorships for your channels. Te what is important is the choice of your channels niche. Your channels niche should be very specific. The more specific your channels niche is without being too specific. It will be easier to define what type of audience is watching you. And when you have perfect understanding of what the audience you have, sponsors will also be able to see what type of people you have on your channel. And this way when they will want to sponsor you and they will contact you, they will most likely be already ready to partner up with you. So you need to have clear neiche. Now, this clear niche is important, not the number of subscribers, not the number of views you generate, even though this is important. The niche is more important because it's easier for you to be discovered by the sponsors. Easier to start working with you. As an example on my YouTube channels, because they were very specific on their topics, I managed to get my first sponsors before I even hit 1,000 subscribers. Yes, you can do that. I can't guarantee you that, but these things can happen. You don't need tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousand subscribers to get your first sponsors. Second thing that is important, you need to position yourself as a professional in your. Based or faceless doesn't matter. All your facts and all your information in your video must be very precise and true. The more precise and better the information is more professional you look at their eyes. Also, one thing that you should have already done, you should have a very clear branding on your channel. You should have ability to be contacted. I mean that it should not be very difficult for sponsors to contact There are two types of sponsors that you'll find in a channel. The ones that you will find than the ones that you will find. For the faceless channels, most likely you will find the second one. But let's start with the first one. The ones that will find you will most likely be ready to partner up with you, and it's just a matter of negotiation how it will continue. Negotiation will be the price and size of deliverables, and deliverables are basically the things that you will create for them, the videos or the sponsor segments. The second one is actually a little bit more difficult in some cases and the easier in the other cases, and it is defining sponsors. If you have created channel, you'll most likely know and understand what type of tools or services that your users will most likely buy. So you will just reach out to those companies and tell them that you have YouTube channel, and you and you would like to be sponsored by that. Now, most of them will just ignore you, or all just say straight out, no. It's completely normal. Do not get worried about that. It's completely normal. I would say that 90% of the company that you will contact will go to not an answer at all, and more than half of the ones that are left just say straight out no. The rest will want to negotiate want to see your numbers, they will want to see who your viewers are, want to see what you can promise them, and how we price them. Now, it is important to have all those negotiations in an e mail form written form. Because if some issues will arise, you will always have the proof that what sad phrase was sent because it was written on an e mail. Also, it is very important to check out the contracts that will be sent to you when you will agree with sponsorships. It's a legal document hi suggest you to find a lawyer that will take a look at this for you. But if you're going to go and check this yourself again, this is not a legal advice, just make sure payment terms and deliverables are very precise and exactly what you negotiated for. Now, the payment wise, some companies will actually give you their services for free or just give you the products for free in exchange for the deliverables. Make sure that you want those. Also, one thing that is very important, when they're sending you the free products, make sure that they will be covering not just deliveries, but all the taxes and duties. Make sure to do so. Make some products can be expensive and will require taxation, and you will have to pay out of your pocket. So make sure that they will cover all the costs. Otherwise, otherwise, just do not agree for any three. For the amount of money that you want to ask from sponsorship, now that purely depends on how big your channel is, how many subscribers you have, how many averages you have, and what is their budget. And it's usually the part of negotiation. You need to discover these prices for yourself. Just make sure the prices that they're suggesting is worth it for you, or otherwise, it's not worth it to work for a small amount of. Sponsorships are actually much easier when you grow your channel quite big and you've got to have a lot of people reaching out to you. Trust me, a lot. Just make sure that you check every single one of them before you're going to continue contacting them because many of them are scammers, and also make sure that you check out the contracts that are sent to you, because sometimes they might have some small clauses that will invalidate the contract. I also make sure that you agree on a payment term. Sometimes they will just force you to make the video, and they will not pay you because yeah, because they would say that they will pay you later, and they will just completely ghost you. Just make sure that you save yourself from these things as well. Not a legal advice, of course. Ven those sponsorships and partnerships are very lucrative. They are very easy to make, but they're very hard to find. There is also one way, one more way to make money from your YouTube videos that is far more lucrative than any of those would most likely not require any third parties, and you can start doing from very beginning of your channel. Ti is selling your merchandise and your own products, and we're going to talk about that in the next lecture. Take care. 22. Selling Merchandise and Digital Products: Now, we got to the most interesting and icy part of the YouTube motization. This is the way that absolute majority of the large YouTube channels faced or faceless are generating the most amount of income. This is the way to make money on YouTube. And from any platform, doesn't matter whether it's YouTube, takeok Instagram, doesn't really matter. This is the way. And this is creating your products and whether it's physical or digital. First things first, what is very important and what is very difficult. Understanding and finding out what type of products that you want to create. And that's again, purely stems out from niche. Now many people would go and suggest you to go for T shirts or for hoodies or for just print demand or just different type of peril or different type of funny stuff. I can say like that. And to be fair, it works for some niches, but not for most. Like, for example, if you have a niche of memes and something like funny stuff and some interesting humor self, your t shirts might work if you have a good design I can't guarantee large amounts of sales because usually merchandise is not the best way to go. Now it will generate you some good amounts of sales. At least it will teach you how to do that. And if you don't know how to do that, if you don't know how to sell different t shirts and print and prints like that, there's of course print on demand model. Print on demand model is basically a business model where you do not own any inventory, and you're kind of like a marketer that is selling products that you do not have. Basically create a design, get an order for a design and send this order to special printer demand service. The individual this individual to print this product for you and fulfill it for you. Usually, they will take their fixed cut and dress is left to you. To be fair, this is not the best way to make money, but this is one of the ways to make money. But what are the better ways? Of course, you can go with creating your own product, designing your products and everything like that. But this takes too much time, and it's not worth it usually unless you have very large channel. Alternatively you can try drop shipping, even though I do not suggest The best way to sell the products are through the digital services and products. Many people do not like to hear that because many fake, knowledgeable individuals ruined it for everyone, but it's still a good way to make money and provided with value of customers. And is through selling digital products. Like for example, courses. Now, again, this all stems out from the niche. You can create courses for some issues, but you cannot create courses for other issues. Like as an example if you have the Mm pace type of course you can create for means. But if you have a YouTube channel of teaching something, even without a face, you can have a specific course for that. Then it's perfectly fine. Again, if it provides a good value, having a course to sell for the sake of having a course to sell is not a good way to go. It should be a good course, and it should be a valuable one. I will never suggest you to sell the course just for the sake of selling the course. That's all but that's not all the things that you can have. For example, if you're teaching photography, you can have a preset. If you're teaching video editing, you can have a template. If you have motivational channels, you can have books. If you have, let's say astronomy channel, you can have different beautiful prints or even paid wallpapers, and things like that. There are a bunch of different products that you can sell. To do all of this, you will need the place to sell. Usually, you will need to create an online store, and I would suggest that you go with shop and services. Now, Shopify actually has a direct integration with YouTube. So that's a great thing to do. Mean that you can actually sell the products directly from the YouTube. But how do you sell this? How do you market your products? First thing first, you need to have all your products always in all of your descriptions. That's a must. In every single one of them, it should be there. And because you will most like have dozens if not hundreds of videos eventually, a lot of people will see those products. Second thing that you need to do, you need to actually talk about those products in your videos. Doesn't matter what face or faceless. De't matter if it's faceless channel. You can make it Video AI talk about your ducts It will be like sponsor segment, where the sponsor is you and you're promoting your own product. This way, you can literally have a sponsor on every single one of your videos. Well, you will not be paid upfront, but you will be paid for every single sale that you have. Just like with sponsors, you need to do all of this with an appropriate videos. Like the same example, you have a MM channel, promoting your course about woodworking, will not make any sense. But as a crude example, you can have a course about creating the MM channel itself. Even though it kind of sounds like a pyramid, but yeah, you basically will explain what you're doing. And if someone will want to learn this, they will buy this. I do not suggest you to do that to be fair, but that's just one of the things that you can do. You can also promote different services that you can do. For example, if you are a good video editor, we can promote your videotic services through your videos, or if you're a music creator or copywriter, whatever it is, you can promote this through your videos. Your product does not have to be something package, something physical and package. Anything that can be paid for can be a product, and you should be promoting that in your videos. Now again, it might sound something a little difficult. Trust me, it is not. It will just take some time just like with everything else for you to craft a perfect product that you will love to create, and other would love to buy. So, but just give it some time. Man, trust me. If you do everything right, this will be the most lucrative thing. Just as an example, I managed to sell a few thousand dollars worth of courses. Wail that was created around a month ago with less than 10,000 followers. Same thing can be done on YouTube as well. I uploaded with YouTube shores. I would do the same thing there as well. So yeah, you don't really need tens of thousands. In some cases, even thousands of subscribers to have some good sales. Again, it's all about the value that you provide and your faceless Tube channel should provide the value, and if you want to make as much money as possible, it should be as narrow as possible. The broader your channel is, the more mixed your audiences will be and will be more difficult to have larger sales. On those channels, it's much easier to make money just through YouTube multi. Won't be making that much money, just as a comparison, niche 10,000 subscriber channel can generate easily $10,000 a month, while a very broad channel will generate that amount of money with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, which will be much more difficult to get. So you don't really need to aim for highest numbers in order to make highest amounts of income. We just need to work very smart on this and focus on providing as much value as possible. So yeah, this will be all about amantization, but that's not all. We need to talk about growing and expanding your channel as much as possible. And the entire next section, we'll be dedicated to that. So we're going to see you there. Take care. 23. Promoting Your Channel: Now, promoting your channel is not an easy task. Don't a me wrong. I will never tell you that. But it's actually pretty doable if you have a plan. Chinese lecture, we're going to talk about a little bit of a strategy of how to promote your channel, including cross platform promotions, influencer collapse, and community engagement. Now all of this will help your channel grow. But you need to have a plan to do so and you have a correct expectations. Let's start with an actual simplest way to promote your channel. And you're doing through cross platform promotions. Now, cross platform promotions means that you will be uploading a different variations of your video on different social media platform. For example, if you're focusing on YouTube, you can upload your videos on multiple outer platforms or you can upload the parts of your video on multiple other platforms. Let me tell you what I mean by that. What you can do, for example, is take your same long form video and upload it on multiple other platforms like for example, Facebook, because Facebook allows you to upload your long form videos. You can also upload the same video on Tek talk. If it's no longer the 10 minutes, yes, you can upload length videos there. You can even upload it on Instagram. Yes, if you transform the video into vertical video, you can upload it on reels no matter the length of the video. Of course, if it's not so long. But that's understandable. It's not a cross promotion. It's not really a cross promotion. Actually growing your other social media platforms with the same content. What you can do also is create different types of content around your main full content. And let me tell you what you mean by that. What you can do is take the best parts of your video. Cut out from your content and make sure that they are less than around minute long and upload on multiple added platforms. You can upload the same videos on YouTube shorts, even though it's not another platform, you can still upload on the same channel, and it will gather you different audiences. You can upload on TikTok, which has high chance of going viral. You can upload it on Sagram reel, which has high chance of getting you very dedicated followers or you can an apology on Facebook, which works in a similar way as reels do, but where audience is a bit older. So if your perfect audience is a little bit older, most likely you're going to get a lot of followers from Facebook, but if they're a little bit younger, most likely you're going to get more followers from Instagram. They're basically interchangeable in this case. Make sure that in every single one of your videos, you mentioned that a full length video explaining everything is on your YouTube channel and make sure that you mention the name of your YouTube channel and have the YouTube channels link in your bio. This is extremely important. Need to make it as easy as possible to discover you for the people who will want to know more about you. They should not need to put a lot of effort into finding you. It should be as easy as possible. What you also can do is collaborate with other influencers on YouTube. At first glance, it seems a little bit difficult since you have a faceless channel. But it doesn't have have a faceless channel, but you don't have a souls or per personal less channel. By collaborating, doesn't mean that you have to be featured on each other's videos. By collaborating, it means that you can contact you can contact other pages and create some type of series of videos where you will reference each other. Like for example, you can create a two part series on a specific topic, where the first part will be uploaded by you and where at the end of it, you will say that the second part or the second side of the same story will be uploaded on this other channel. The other channel will do the same, where they will tell their half of the story, tell you the first half will be on your channel. This way, you will be cross promoting your audiences. But how to do that with whom you can promote it? You need to search for the channels at around similar size as you are and have the similar ideal audience as you have. And well, you can just contact them and you will create the content together. It's not really that People usually are looking for collaborations like that, but they're just usually too shy to initiate it themselves. And if you don't know how to contact those tube channels, every single YouTube channel usually feature their contact e mail. So make sure that you're going to reach them through that channel or through their social media because people are usually promoting their social media channels as well. Now, what about paid advertising? Let's talk about People think that they can't just simply promote their channels by using the paid advertising, but is it actually a good idea? In my opinion, it's really not. But there is only one reason why you would use the paid advertisement. That reason is if your channel niche is very, very narrow, then you want to create your core audience as quickly as possible. By very narrow, I mean that the ideal sides of a channel should be around 10,000 dish subscribers. Again, it sounds not a lot, but depending on the topic of the channel that you create, 10,000 subscribers might be quite a lot and quite lucrative for you because it might have very high CPMs and have very dedicated audience that will buy any products from you in that niche, of course. Unless you create that type of content, do not pay money for advertising, because you'll need way too much money in order to be reaching way too broad audience that most likely will not care about you. And I mean about your channel because you have a faceless channel. So no, don't do that. And last but not least, the thing that you can do is start engaging with your Now, we're going to dedicate the entire next lecture to that. But in short, you need to be engaging with your audience in a regular basis. And by engaging, you need to show them that despite your channel being faceless, there is actually a human behind the channel, meaning that you need to answer their questions, so different Q&As, answer their comments, et cetera, et cetera. Don't worry, we're going to talk about this all in the details in the and growing your audience is not a difficult task, but it only takes time and effort. And if you do this gradually and consistently doing extended amount of time, and by extended, I mean just few weeks, few months. You will most likely wish the success. But you need to understand this one thing. You should not look like you're doing something. You should be actually doing this. If anything that you do is not giving you immediate results, no matter how small, that means that you are doing something wrong. Don't do things for the sake of doing that. Engage with your audience and do stuff that I talked about in this video to grow your channel. And I mean, cross promote, collaborate, engage with your community. Maybe use a little bit of pain advertising in some cases and your channel will grow. But now let's talk about engaging with your audience. So I'm going to say your next lecture. Take care. 24. Engaging with Your Audience: It's extremely important to engage with your audience no matter whether you're faceless channel or not. That's just how it works. People should like being there on your channel and you should make them as comfortable as possible. Because if they don't feel comfortable and if they don't take a value from you, you're just doing things wrong. You're going to fail. Because this audience will build a bases around which entire channel will be built and be practically in destructive. You can say that you need to create a foundation where entire channel will be built upon, because if you start building without natural foundation, eventually, it will crumble. An audience engagement for your channels growth is absolutely vital. It's not even important. It's vital. You will not survive. Your channel will die without that. How many channels have you seen that have tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of subscribers that can barely get few hundred views on their videos. That's because they do not have their core audiences, and way they do not have their core audiences. They are not able to grow consistently. All they do is just trying to reach newer and newer and newer audiences with every single views, and like that, they'll be losing their older audiences without ever creating any core. And without that core, eventually, any channel will die. There is just no saving from that. So what you need to do to save your channel. So what you need to do to engage actively with your Now, now, first things first, you need to encourage viewers feedback. That means that you need to actively encourage people to engage with your content. Agate bitwise. There are not a lot of things that people can do. They can like your video, they can comment on your video. They can subscribe to your channel, and they can share this video. Only those four things can be done with your videos. Additionally, they can also check out descriptions, go to different links, but this four is a core for YouTube and most important things that YouTube itself loves. That means that every single one of your videos should feature core to those interactions. Now, let me tell you this one. Know that for many, the culture actions like that is just stringy. But if you integrate them correctly, they will do miracles. Just integrate them in a way that makes sense for the video. No, for example, instead of asking for the like in the beginning of the video that does not make any sense because people have not watched the videos anymore. Making them like the video does not make any sense. You can ask them to like near the end of the video because that's where they're more likely to actually click the like button because they're already there that far into the video. You can encourage them to come a near the beginning of the video, to ask them for what they think that near the end will. Ask them questions in the beginning that you will eventually answer in the video. This way people actually will answer the question. Some of them acleas. And then if they got it wrong or right, they will answer the question again, and they will tell you whether they were right or wrong. This way you're encouraging additional comments. Subscription wise, you can tell them that if they want more videos like that, they can subscribe, but they need to subscribe. If they want more value, or if they want to miss any future videos that you are going to tell them what future videos will be, ask them to subscribe. This way people will more likely subscribe. As for the shares, now, that's a little bit difficult. Doesn't really matter if you ask people to share your videos or not. Usually, a video is shareable mean that it's funny, it's interesting, and it's usable for someone else. Usually this video will be shared anyways. So just make the video that is shared. That people would want other people to see that video for different reasons. This way the videos will get much more shares. But even that is not all. Next part is actually engaging with the comments that the people will leave because if your viewers are giving you time to write the comments to your video. You should also give them the time to respond to these comments. Matter with their positive or negative, try to respond to every single one of them because it boots your videos engagement, and it also allows you to connect do viewers more. That is very important. I've created dedicated viewer base just by answering the comments. And many of those dedicated viewers were my initial haers. But when we talked in the comments, even though they did not agree that I was right or they were wrong. Started respecting my opinion, and they started to view my videos more, and they become maybe not fans, but at least loyal viewers. And you can do the same thing as well, and you must be doing the same thing as well. Whether showing your face or not, you are still a person behind the video, and you should be answering every single comment. Trust me, there is another reason for that. You see the comments are actually a great way to find the topics for the new videos. Because if people will be asking the questions, they think that these people are actually looking for the answers for those questions, and what is the better way to answer any question than through the video? And if those people are looking and answer for this question, highly likely chance that other people are looking for answers as well. So this is an amazing opportunity to gain a lot of viewers of those videos. But even that's not all. There are other ways to interact with your viewers. Now would say host slight trips and sections and things like that, yeah, channels are faceless, so you cannot really do that. What you can do instead is be active and engage with your community in a community tab. YouTube actually allows you to use community app. You can upload different posts, textbooks, sharing different videos, sharing different images, polls, Q&A sessions,quizzes and things like that. You can do all of those things. And I would suggest you to use those community apps daily. This way your viewers will be able to see you every single day, no matter whether you upload the video or not. And you will be active in their feeds. And if they're active on these community posts. Most likely when you upload the video, they will see your videos as well. And that's actually a very powerful thing. But again, even that's not all. You see building the community within the YouTube is good. But you really need to build the community outside of YouTube as well. If something will go wrong, if I don't know, if you'll get banned or your channel will get hijacked or anything bad will happen, you need to have this core audience somewhere with you. And there are a few different options that you can use that. You can create a Facebook groups, or for the best option, you can actually create a discord server where people can actually join you and communicate with you on a daily basis. Share videos there, you can share additional tips there, you can just communicate with people, ask the questions, and things like that. So yeah, I suggest to create a discourse service. It's extremely extremely powerful and will allow you to cultivate your viewer engagement even more and more. Just make sure that you don't just create server for the sake of having a server. You should not be ghosting them. You should be actually communicating with them. Well, these are just a few examples how we can engage with your audience. But the next lecture, we're going to focus more on how you can engage with other people's audiences because the collaboration is a great way to take clip into other people's channels. So we're going to be doing just that. I'm going to see you your next lecture. Take care. 25. Collaborating with Other Creators: Collaborations. Those are important things that many people are overlooking because it seems like way too much of a hassle. Well, it's actually not, and you should not be overlooking that. No matter it's a faceless channel or not. And it is extremely important. So let's talk about how you can actually collaborate. First, let's ask why you should be collaborating. You see it all ties with an audiences that you have on your other audiences that you want on your channel. If you're growing just organically, you are purely relying on YouTube's algorithm to understand who is the perfect audience for your video, and you also rely on how it will be delivered to your perfect audience. And it's not always very efficient, and especially it's not fast. What you can do instead is contact other people who are approximately the same size as you. Doesn't matter face or faceless channels, really does not matter. They just need to be in a similar topic that you are and have similar audiences that you have, and just ask them to create the video series together or collaborate in a single video together. Why you need to do that? But because now you're mixing and matching your audiences. Audience will see this other creators and possibly will subscribe to them, and other creators audience will see you and possibly subscribe to you, or at least they will have a chance to get to know you and decide whether they like you or not. Trust me. This makes miracles. You will grow much faster at least in the beginning if you are going to collaborate with the channels of your size and your niche. And this is especially true if you're a larger channel. You will basically be doubling your reach every single time you collaborate with other creators. And this sets up with more creators you collaborate. Also create a connection with those other creatures, allow you to exchange ideas and create something amazing for your channels. Again, it doesn't matter whether it's a face channel or faceless one. You really don't need to show your face in those channels. So how you can do that? What do you need to do to start? First thing first, you define those creatures. As I said one of the previous studios, it's not as difficult as you might. You will simply search the videos of the similar topic, and that's it. And then you will see other creators in a similar topic. Or at least you will search for the videos. You don't need to search for the same videos as you have. You might just search for the videos that you have ideas for and you want to create and see if other people that have created the similar thing or not. If you use tools like VDAQ, you will be able to see those channel sizes and their subscriber numbers right from the search window. Man that when you see the video, you'll see the creators, you also see their subscriber numbers. So you will search for different topics and find a creator that has a similar mode of subscribers as you have. Ideally, they should have a little bit less than you have. Now doesn't make any sense. Why you would want someone that is actually smaller than you? Well, that's because of psychology. In their eyes, if they will collaborate with you because your larger channel than they are, it would be more beneficial for them. But in reality, the channel size difference of ten per to 20% does not really make any big difference. It will be practically the same thing for both of you. But you will still be in that little bit dominant position, and you can dictate rules a little bit more. So this way, it's a win win for both of you. They think that they're getting the better part of the deal, or are you getting an easy collaboration? And no, you won't be losing from this. Trust me. Because you can be doing this with multiple and multiple different channels. Okay, you found a channel that is a little bit smaller than you around 80 to 90% of your size, how we can contact that? Well, that's very easy part. Almost every single YouTube channels ballot action features a contact e mail. Or they feature their social media, or they will feature their social media in the YouTube channel description. And especially if you are both smaller creators, I mean smash like around 10,000 subscribers or less, especially if it's less. Probably be paying very close attention to the e mail so the social media if you will contact them. So they will probably not be here. What, what you need to do? Well, you basically tell them that you like their channel. You channels are very similar topic, and you want to collaborate by uploading one video on your channel or one video another channel. And then all you need to do is just talk around different topics and discuss what type of videos that you can create together. It's not very difficult, especially if you'd understand your niche perfectly. Again, you don't really need to have a face channel. Face channels can do exactly the same collaborations. But now, let's talk about some legal and ethical considerations of those videos. See, when you upload the video on other person's channel, or whether you'll be featured or another person's channel. Usually, that means that they can do whatever they want with this video. The same is with you. But you should not be doing whether you want to with this video. You should not be taking it down or they should not be taking it down before time, and you should not be tempering it or you should not be negative towards each other. Ethically, you are working together, and you should respect each other's work and each other's self. Otherwise, what's the point in collaboration in job ethical considerations? Let's say that everything is fine. You contacted each other, you collaborated and then what? Well, you will be doing it some more. Collaborating on a single video usually is not the best idea. You can collaborate on multiple different videos and see if it will help both of you. If it will not, if you see that you created videos together and with each subsequent videos, you're getting less and less cross promotions. You're going to say that you can take a pause, and then you can say that you will return to this collaboration later. I mean you will continue to create newer videos later. You will not abandon the existing collaboration. That and after that, you will move on to other channels. You will collaborate with other channels. Eventually, a lot of channels will know you and would want to contact with you and would want to create videos with you because it will be beneficial for everyone. Now, you need to also understand one thing. Do not make every video collaboration. You can contact ten different YouTubers and every single one of them might want to collaborate you. Doesn't mean that you actually should be doing that. I mean you shouldn't be doing only that. Because if you will be collaborating with the different tobers every single time, D tubers will get less and less engagement from you because yeah, creators would not want to jump from one channel to another every single time over and over and over again. They just do not like that. It's uncomfortable. It's too much work. It's too much hassle, and they will just not be doing that. So just have a very tame amount of collaborations on Let's say in the best case scenario, every third video should be a coll. No more than that. Not every second video, especially not every video. But if you'll find a perfect balance, you will also grow perfect. These are all about collaborations in the next video. We're going to be talking about scaling your channel for a long term success using a little bit of in video AI. So I'm going to see you in the next lecture. Take care. 26. Scaling Your Channel for Long-Term Success with InVideo AI: Now we have all the information that you need. But can you utilize invidioA for a channel growth? Well, you actually can. You should be using in Video A for a lot of different things because yeah, because creating single type of videos in a single niche will not be beneficial all the time. It might be beneficial for some time, but not always. So you need to be using Video AI's powerful tools to diversify your content. That you need to have a long term strategy. What do you mean by that. Let's say that you're creating all the reviews. You're creating reviews about the movies or books or anything else. You know what will happen. Initially, the channel will have a blast. It will grow really fast, but then it will reach its maximum potential audience. If you're creating only single type of videos which are the reviews, it will not be that large. You will eventually set losing all the viewers faster than you will be gaining newer ones. YouTube does not like what someone loses viewers. They like what they gain viewers, almost What you need to be doing in order to alleviate that, you need to diversify your content to push people to other types of content, or to pull new people to those new type of content, and how do you do that? Well, you need to diversify and explore new formats. Malo new formats, you need to add different types of videos. For example, instead of just doing reviews, you can do also comparisons. In video AI will create a mazing comparison videos for you. Or for example, you can do just top tens or top five or top 25, no matter what, whichever number will suit you, you can create those. You can criticize the same book, for example, if you have a book reviews from different sides, from the bad parts, or criticize talking about the bad sides or talk only about the good sides. This way you can have much more diverse videos. But it will not easy. You will actually need to invest a little bit more into Video AI to create more different videos. So if I will say that all you need is a free subscription to Video AI, I will be lying. You can start with free subscriptions, but quickly you will outgrow it, and you will need something more powerful. And you will need some additional tools that indio AI will provide for you. Unfortunately, not for free. But because the channel will grow and most likely will generate quite sizable revenue for you, I don't think that it will be a big issue to invest a little bit more in vid What you need to pay really close attention to is analytics. You need to analyze all those different types of videos and see what things work and what things do not work. Because if you don't look at the numbers, you will never know what will work, and eventually, your channel will start failing. Again, dedicated audience is a foundation of your channel, but your content are the walls, and you need to build your channel brick by brick. Well, each brick will be a video and your content. Not just videos. It can be commit pots or anything else. Every type of content will work. So we need to be building the channel brick by brick. And analyze all the trends and also adapt to the changes, because, yes, changes will happen. People are viewing different types of content different times of the year, and the different times in their lifetime. People grow up, they grow older, or sometimes younger audiences are joining and we want to different types of content that you create. And you need to be able to see those trends and adapt to it. Otherwise, if you'll be creating same things over and over and over again for years, you will eventually fail. So you need to plan for this from the very very beginning. And what you also need to do is setting correct milestones. Think that reaching thousand and 10,000 subscribers is very easy because other YouTube guru pated it to you. Well, may be a bearer of bad news. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. It's not really that easy. But it's not really that difficult as well because all it takes is some time and dedication and will to do that. Understand that it will take around the same amount of time to reach 0-100 subscribers as it is 100-1 thousand. As it is from thousand to 10,000 as it is 10000-100 thousand. As you will grow and understand more and more things, you will start going exponential. You reach the peak plateau. And you should try to not reach this peak plateau as soon as possible. Basically, you should try to reach it as late as late as possible. That's what I want to say. And you should have correct expectations with everything. Don't think that your success will come overnight. No matter it's a face or faceless channel, it will require same amount of work. The difference between face and faceless channels are not how fast you can reach it. The difference is that amount of equipment and amount of skills that you need to have are a little bit different. B faceless channels, you just don't need the camera microphone or lighting, but you still need a good video ting skills or at least good vision for the good videos and good video topics. It's not just a matter of clicking one button and everything will be do Video AI will be doing 80% things for you, but you need to give it the correct instructions and also fix the mistakes when they will eventually happen. Overall setting correct milestones will help you a lot. And I high suggested to do so. And yeah, that's basically it with this course. Yeah, in the next lure the last lecture, we're going to be wrapping everything up and giving you something SD for the future. So I'm going to see you there. Take care. 27.
