These types of channels are our go to place when we want to learn how to do something. Safe to say that most people have searched for this type of content on YouTube at some point, whether it's to learn how to make a specific dish, learn how to delete an Instagram account or the classic, how to tie a tie.

Join us today and learn how to start, manage, and completely dominate search based YouTube channels that generate passive income capable of turning your life around 180 degrees. 2. What is YouTube Search?: Hello, welcome to the first class in this course, focused on YouTube Search. As always, we will start with the basics and then move on to more specific topics. Let's begin. YouTube search is the process of conducting a search on YouTube with the aim of finding a video that fulfills the current need. For example, you might be looking for information you saw in the news, a song that was recommended to you. A recipe or a guide or tutorial to help you solve a problem or gain new knowledge. From the perspective of a YouTube channel owner, this is reflected in the source of viewers or where the views on a video originated. There are a variety of places where people can access your videos, divided into two main groups, External sources, and internal sources. External sources are places outside the YouTube platform. This could be when a viewer directly accessed your video from a search engine like Google Bing or Yahoo. It could also be when someone accessed your video through an app like What's app? If someone shared the video that way, views your video receives on other websites that have embedded your video or have a direct hyper link to your video also fall under external sources. The last type for external sources is referred to as direct or unknown. This category includes visits where someone pasted the link to your video directly into their browser. Vews that come from someone bookmarking your video, views from users not logged into YouTube, and views generated through unidentified applications. Internal sources are further divided into various categories, encompassing all the ways, someone can visit your video from within the YouTube platform. Here you can see a table showing them in more detail. However, we will also mention them and provide examples for better understanding, focusing on the most common ones. Browse features. These comprise views that your videos receive from the YouTube home page from Watch Later playlists, where users save your videos, from the trending or explore tabs, as well as other exploration features within the platform. Channel pages. This is traffic that comes directly to your videos, from your channel page or from other channels. This occurs when someone is browsing your channel, becomes interested in one of your videos, and decides to watch it. Campaign cards. Campaigns offer a way to promote your content directly from user uploaded videos that match your content. Specifically, when an asset is part of a campaign, a promotional card is added to user uploaded videos that match your assets reference file. This card links viewers directly to your content and screens. This is traffic generated from the screen you add to the end of your videos, where you promote your content. Shorts. This is traffic generated by viewing vertical content. That is less than 60 seconds on YouTube. Notifications, this is traffic generated by notifications sent to your subscribers. These can be regular notifications for subscribing to the channel or more personalized notifications, such as by e mail. Other YouTube features, traffic generated from other parts of YouTube that do not fall into any of the mentioned categories. Play lists, this is traffic generated from playlists, which can be playlists you've created yourself, playlists created by other users, and also includes users liked videos and favorite videos playlists. Remixed video. This is traffic generated when a user views a visual remix of content created by you, sound pages. Traffic from the shared audio results page found in the short vertical viewing experience. Suggested videos. This is traffic generated from the suggested videos, sidebar, that can be seen on each videos page, as well as the suggestions that YouTube presents after the video you are watching ends. Video cards, traffic that comes from promotional cards you place in other videos, where you seek to promote your videos within other videos using a small card that appears at the top of the video for 5 seconds. YouTube advertising. This is traffic generated by promoting your video through paid advertising within YouTube. Product pages, traffic generated on YouTube product pages, and the traffic source that interests us the most, YouTube search, which is the traffic generated from a search conducted using the YouTube search bar. As you can see, there are many sources that can generate traffic to your videos. Often, you can specifically see the exact origin of where the traffic was generated. In the case of YouTube search, you can see which keywords were used to reach your content. The case of suggested videos, you can see which videos have generated traffic to your video. You can do the same with playlists and with external sites or apps. This allows you to study in depth which traffic sources you should work on and improve. But in our case, while every visit counts and is welcome, YouTube search is what we want to optimize and make the most of. In the upcoming videos, we will delve deeper into what search based YouTube channels are. See you there. 3. What Are YouTube Automation Search-Based Channels: Hello. In this class, we will talk about what a search based channel is and its variations. A search based channel is a channel model in which the content creator chooses to create videos on topics that users are constantly searching for on YouTube, rather than creating videos to capture the attention of those browsing YouTube, or to build a dedicated following who enjoy and eagerly anticipate each new upload. In simple terms, that's the definition of a search based channel. Typically, search based channels are channels that aim to solve problems or provide knowledge to those searching for specific terms. For example, most search based channels focus on creating tutorials on digital topics. Terms like how to permanently deactivate my Facebook account or how to create a YouTube channel, have high search volumes. Although this type of content is unlikely to capture the attention of someone not actively searching for it, there are many people interested in using those same search terms, hoping to find solutions to their problems. Another example could be cooking recipes. While not impossible, automating a channel of this type is complicated because viewers expect to see how the recipe is prepared and what the final result looks like. So, if you want to automate a channel like this, you would have to hire a chef to prepare the dishes and film them, which would be neither easy nor cost effective compared to digital tutorials. However, under the right conditions, it's something to consider. As you've probably seen, that recipe tutorial videos receive a large number of views. Within this channel model, we can add two more variations, physical tutorials and study tutorials. Physical tutorials are videos that follow the same pattern of using high volume search keywords on YouTube, but solve problems outside of a screen, such as how to change a doorknob or how to tie a tie. With this type of video, a similar situation occurs as with cooking recipes. The production cost is higher because someone would have to film themselves doing these hands on tasks. It's not impossible to hire someone to do it. But it may be more interesting for channel owners who have the skill and means to film the videos themselves. In the case of study tutorials, it is entirely possible and feasible to outsource it the video creation work because there are many incredibly knowledgeable freelancers willing to share their expertise in exchange for compensation. Interesting about these types of topics is that the RPM revenue permil is higher than for digital tutorials, cooking recipes, or physical tutorials. For the purpose of this course, we will focus on digital tutorials as it is the most scalable and easiest model to undertake. Once you understand it, it can open the doors to expanding into any of the other three types of search based channels we mentioned. In the next video, we will talk about what to expect from a search based channel and the mindset you should approach this new adventure with. 4. What To Expect From A YouTube Automation Search-Based Channel: Can you expect from a search based channel? Like in any venture, there are various things you can expect from this journey. There are both good and not so good aspects, and we'd like to give you a fairly clear idea of what this process would be like. Among the not so good aspects, you should consider the following. You need to be aware that this type of channel is not a quick way to make money. Starting a search based channel from scratch can take 6-12 months to monetize the channel because you need to publish a large number of videos, and these videos often take months to rank and gain traction. Based on what we're saying, you should be prepared to wait a considerable amount of time and invest in video production throughout this period. Might not sound like the most appealing business model, but now let us mention the good things you can expect from this type of channel. The investment cost is low. We've created videos for as little as two to $3 per video. If you decide to produce around 20 videos per week, the cost would be $40 per week or $160 per month for 80 videos. This is even less costly than generating three videos per month in an automated YouTube channel in a different niche. Beyond this, you have to understand that these videos will generate a snowball effect. They won't stop generating views no matter how much time passes. Some videos will generate more and others will generate less. But in the long run, they will continue to accumulate views. There's even the possibility that a video that seemed to have no traction for about three months could be picked up by the algorithm and start ranking. You can expect a stable source of income that doesn't consume your time and provides you with the freedom to do what you want with your time. Ultimately, you can expect to develop a new and healthy obsession with this business model. Something that happens to all of us when we start seeing a stable income coming in. It's impossible not to want to produce more and better videos when you realize that it's possible to generate life changing income with this business model. Later in the course, we'll discuss how it's possible to start generating income from the beginning of your journey. It's not through affiliate product sales. As we've already mentioned in our course, YouTube automation 0-0. It's another approach that we can take advantage of thanks to the flexibility offered by search based channels. 5. Advantages Of A YouTube Automation Search-Based Channel: Hello. In this class, we're going to discuss the advantages of a search based channel compared to regular automated YouTube channels. Since this is another YouTube automation course, the comparison will be directly with this type of channel and not with personality based channels, meaning YouTubers. The biggest advantage that search based channels have over automated channels in other niches is flexibility. Flexibility, we mean the ability of these channels to adapt to a wide variety of topics without affecting the channel's performance. You can publish tutorial videos on creating an electronic portfolio one day and change your TikTok password the next. As you can see, the first video is related to business, which interests a slightly older and more professional demographic. While the second video is more appealing to younger individuals. These are quite different audiences, but in the case of our channel, this demographic shift is not relevant because we're not expecting the algorithm to target a specific group of people. Want both the person looking to learn how to create an electronic portfolio and the one looking to change their TikTok password to visit our video when searching for solutions to these problems on YouTube. From this perspective, the possibilities within the same channel are almost limitless. You can publish videos that are not necessarily related to each other, you can even publish videos in different languages within the same channel. S. As crazy as it may sound, not having to depend on the same algorithm that most YouTubers want to break gives us immense flexibility that allows us to take our channel to levels that other channel models cannot. Another significant advantage is production flexibility. In an automated channel, you need to keep producing videos because eventually, the videos you've already published will lose a significant portion of their traction. If this is the case, what happens if you stop producing videos? Well, your income will likely decrease considerably if you decide to take a couple of months off. The case of search based channels, if you decide to take a two month production break, it's more likely that your monthly income will increase rather than decrease. Why is this? Because it's almost certain that one of the videos you had published that hadn't ranked yet will be picked up by the algorithm and rank higher than it previously did. It's also possible that a video you already had well positioned has started ranking for some related keywords. It wasn't ranking for before. Number of topics you can create videos about is much larger than in channels in other niches. When starting a channel from scratch, you may have to choose more specific topics to rank with less competition. But as your channel grows, it will become easier to rank more videos at the top. However, we don't recommend ignoring broad topics with a high search volume, even when starting. Because if you make a good video that appeals to viewers, the algorithm may decide to rank your video regardless of whether your channel is new. From a personnel management perspective, it's much easier and more comfortable to deal with a single freelancer than having to deal with a group of them, simplifying the administration of your channel. For all these reasons, starting a search based channel is much more beginner friendly than starting a channel in any other niche. As long as you as the channel owner, are able to understand that there is a waiting period and that the growth of your channel may be somewhat slow. Search based channels are our top recommendation for entering the world of YouTube automation. These are just some of the advantages that a search based channel has over an automated channel in another niche. Later in the course, we'll provide a list of differences between these two channel models that will allow you to thoroughly understand how they differ from each other. 6. Search-Based VS Other Niches: In this class, we will specifically list the differences between a search based automated channel and an automated channel in other niches. As we mentioned earlier, the production cost per video for a search based channel is much lower than that of a channel in another niche. Our production cost per video in a search based channel is around $2 for a video that is one to 2 minutes long. This cost includes video capture, editing, and narration. You also delegate the creation of the thumbnail, the cost would be $2.50 per video. It's quite a difference when compared to the production cost of a video in another niche, which can be around $60. Now, it's a bit unfair to make a direct comparison because videos for a channel in another niche need to have a much higher production quality and are usually around 8 minutes long. However, where we can make a direct comparison is in the monthly investment required for these types of channels. It's typical for a search based channel to publish about 20 videos per week, although there are channels that publish many more. Still, I dare say that 20 videos per week is a standard for this type of channel. Automated channel in another Niche should, as we mentioned in the previous course, see what the average is that their close competitors are publishing per week and try to publish one or two more. Typically, such channels publish about three videos per week. We would recommend publishing at least one more resulting in a production of four videos per week. If we do a quick calculation, we can see that the production cost per week for a search based channel would be $50, including the thumbnail. Meanwhile, the production cost for an automated channel in another niche would be around $240 per week. There's a significant difference in the investment required for these two types of channels. Starting with a search based channel is much more beginner friendly for those getting started with YouTube automation. Regarding topics, the flexibility is much greater. You can create videos about any program or website that has a large number of uses. You can make videos about Snap chat, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Duolingo, or even YouTube itself. The number of situations you can address on each of these platforms is really vast. Don't forget the ability of these channels to support different languages without affecting their performance. This is impossible for other channel models because the algorithm would get confused when suggesting content from your channel. Similarly, the number of topics that can be covered is more limited for other channel models as they are restricted to the specific niche and topic that is relevant at that particular time. Staying on the same line of how the algorithm suggests content to viewers. We can say that search based channels do not have a group of loyal subscribers to their content. This means you don't have to worry that a video you publish doesn't align with the interests of your subscribers because in fact, most search based channels do not send notifications to their subscribers when they release a new video. Why is this? Well, imagine your subscribe to a channel that publishes 20 videos a week and you're constantly receiving notifications, saying the channel has released a new video. Besides, what are the chances that the video on how to recover your Snapchat account that you're about to publish, will interest someone who subscribe to your channel because they found a video on how to digitally sign multiple PDF pages quickly useful. Not only will you not receive initial views from your subscribers, but you will also annoy them with constant notifications. This results in the subscribers you worked so hard to gain, starting to unsubscribe from your channel. Subscribers serve two purposes for search based channels. The first is that you need at least 1,000 subscribers to monetize. The second is that although YouTube has stated that the number of subscribers, a channel has lost some weight in terms of how they influence the algorithm in deciding which videos rank higher, it still does have an influence. So the more subscribers you have on your channel, the easier it will be to rank your videos. These same two occasions also influence automated channels in other niches. The difference is that these channels, relying so much on algorithm suggestions, need the algorithm to have a clear idea of the type of viewers consuming that content. The most effective way to do this is by using your subscribers as a reference. As for search based channels, this is not relevant to us because our source of visits comes directly from searches, not suggestions. An important difference that we already mentioned in the previous class is the time it can take for search based channels to gain traction. While videos in other niches can go viral because they are usually trending topics or aimed at capturing the attention of a large number of people, and consequently growing your channel quickly, search based channels take much more time. This is because it's very likely that the tutorial videos you're going to create already exist on YouTube. It may take some time for the algorithm to realize that your video offers a better solution than other videos offering a solution for the same problem. A search based channel can take six months or more to monetize, and this is entirely normal. It takes a cool head to keep going on this path for so long without monetization. In contrast, a channel in another niche can potentially monetize in about three months if things are managed correctly. We mentioned earlier, the production quality of a search based channels video does not necessarily have to be as high as that of an automated channel in another niche. The reason for this is that in tutorial videos, we want to provide a solution or knowledge to the viewer, and this is what the viewer is looking for too. If you provide a good solution, the viewer won't mind if the quality of your video is not cinematic, or if your voiceover isn't the most pleasant. On the other hand, videos from automated channels in other niches do need to have a high level of production because we are trying to capture the attention of viewers who In many cases are not even looking for a video on that topic. When it comes to search based channels, more emphasis is placed on the quantity of videos that can be produced rather than the quality. Of course, always maintaining a minimum standard of editing and content quality, that provides the viewer with the information they are looking for. The way this type of search based channel is managed is also a bit more convenient since a single freelancer takes care of the entire production process. It is much easier to deal with a single employee than to have to deal with a freelancer who creates the script, another who does the voice over, another who edits the video, and another who creates the thumbnail. If you are a student from our previous course, YouTube automation 0-0, you will remember that we strongly recommended not using a single freelancer to create videos. Yes, we stand by that. If your channel is not search based, don't hire a single freelancer. Hire four experts who will elevate the quality of your videos to a level that gives you an advantage in your niche. But in the case of search based channels, as quality is not our priority, and the videos are much simpler and shorter, you can afford to hire a single freelancer to handle everything. The attention that needs to be given to a search based channel is not the same as that required for other automated channels. As we mentioned in the previous class, a search based channel does not require you to constantly publish videos, and this also does not affect the channel's performance. In fact, by its very nature, there is a great chance that if you take some time off from publishing new videos, the channel will continue to grow on its own. This is the great thing about producing evergreen content. Meanwhile, with channels and other niches, your content will often be related to trends and will eventually lose much of the traction it once gained. Regarding RPM, the truth is that it depends on each video. Since you don't have a clear subniche, you can have videos that generate an excellent RPM of $30 and other videos that yield an RPM of two to $4. These latter ones, of course, will be the majority of the videos you publish. But this low RPM is compensated by the large and continuous views that this type of video tends to get. Other differences we can mention are that the time when videos are published is not relevant for search based channels. Also, gaining subscribers can be more difficult because many viewers upon finding the solution they were looking for ten to close the window. These are some of the most relevant differences between these two models of YouTube channels. In the next class, we will discuss how much money a search based channel can generate. See you there. 7. What Kind Of Topics We Can Cover: Let's talk about the types of topics covered in a search based channel. In previous classes, we mentioned some examples, but this time, I'd like to delve a bit deeper into this topic. As we already know, search based channels can be about digital or physical tutorials. However, due to their ease of production and scalability, we will continue to emphasize digital tutorials. In a channel of this kind, our goal is to solve a problem for the viewer. With this in mind, we need to narrow down the topics to digital ones. We achieve this by focusing on digital platforms with a large user base, such as social media platforms like Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, or Instagram. We also have video games, like oblock. Browser extensions are often underrated. In this realm, Google Chrome is definitely the king with extensions that have hundreds of thousands of users. You can also touch on topics related to devices, such as iPhones or androids. Any kind of solution that can be provided for problems with a high search volume is worth considering when creating a video. This is what you should focus on. High user volume, digital platforms, and the issues said user may face when using them. Let's take social media, for example. Many Instagram users have trouble performing actions that may seem simple to others. For instance, it may be straightforward for you to figure out how to switch an Instagram business account back to a personal one. However, there are users who don't naturally get along with technology, and there are also older users who easily get confused, not to mention that these types of applications are constantly being updated. The processes for certain actions can change. This is where we, as owners of these channels, come in to offer these individuals a simple and easy to understand solution. When you're starting your channel, our advice is to create videos that have a high number of views. Without paying much attention to the RPM, they may generate. Is because you must remember that before you can monetize, you need to meet the requirements of 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time to be part of the partner program. A niche that generates a large number of views and can help you monetize your channel quickly is the gaming Niche. For example, Roadblocks alone has around 66 million daily active users. You manage to rank a video with a high search volume related to roadblocks or another trending video game. The time it takes to monetize can be significantly reduced. On the other hand, topics with a high RPM generally do not generate many views, but you should not neglect them because once you have successfully monetized your channel, they can change your life completely. Later in the course, we will teach you a strategy on how to find topics with a high RPM. But let's not get into that just yet. First, we must learn how to find good topics for our videos, because this is not done by guessing. See you in the next class. 8. How Does A Search-Based Channel Behave?: In this class, we're going to show you how search based channels behave. You might be wondering how a YouTube channel can behave differently. Well, that's how it is. YouTube channels behave just like their videos, and Videos from search based channels are known for their upward trend. Not all of them, of course, but many. As you can see, the graph looks like a mountain climb or a roller coaster ride going up. It's a clear upward trend. Here you can see several examples. These are from a relatively small channel that isn't even monetized yet. On the other hand, videos from other types of channels tend to look like a hockey stick. They form an L shape. These videos are often pushed by the suggestion algorithm at the beginning, and as a result, they often get a good number of views if the engagement was good. But once the algorithm sets them aside, it becomes difficult for them to receive views. This translates to the fact that if you're not constantly posting new videos, the channel's performance will decline. Returning to the search based channel, although this is a small channel that doesn't receive many visits yet, and As you can see, it also doesn't have a steady flow of posts. Here you can clearly see that there are long periods of time when no posts were made. However, the number of visits still grows steadily. These peaks you can observe are because one of the videos provides a solution to a problem that a platform experiences every now and then. Around every 20 days when the platform encounters issues, this specific video receives a large number of visits from Google. From people searching for a solution to this problem. But let's not rely on just one reference. Here you can see the growth of different search based channels. As you can see, they all behave very similarly. Anyway, I'd like to clarify something. Not all the videos you publish on a search based channel will rank. That would be excellent, but it's not how it works. It's more of a numbers game. The idea is to publish hundreds of videos because some of them will rank in just a few days. Others will start gaining traction in months. Of course, there will be some that won't achieve the level of activity you expect. This is normal. No one really knows how the YouTube algorithm works. Nothing guarantees that all the videos you publish will be a success. For this reason, we have to be careful and focus on all the things that can help us like good SEO, a good thumbnail, good editing, good keyword research, your number of subscribers, et cetera. Well managed search based channels, share something in common. Compound growth, which makes this business model one of the most interesting and exciting ones today. I really can't think of other business models that allow you to have exponential growth with such little investment in both money and time. In the next class, we'll start discussing the types of topics covered in search based channels. See you there. 9. How Much Can A Search-Based Channel Generate?: Much can a search based channel generate? We are now asking the right questions and you'll like the answer. The truth is that the income generating capacity of a search based channel is practically unlimited, and I'll explain how this is possible. Search based channels generate a compounded effect as you publish more videos. Yes, there will be times when some videos lose a bit of traction. This can happen because the solution you offer in that video is no longer viable, or because the algorithm decided to give another video the opportunity and ended up generating better results in terms of audience retention, click through rate and engagement than your video. But this doesn't happen very often. As you continue to publish videos and as time goes by, you'll have more and more videos in higher positions that bring you more views and more money. If you add to this the ability to create videos in different languages, the income generating capacity is even greater, if not unlimited. What limits you to create videos only in English, or what limits you only create videos in two languages? You can produce videos in seven different languages without any problem. In case you like to keep your channel organized with just one language, you can create channels for each language. That's the great opportunity that YouTube presents to us, allowing us to create as many channels as we want for free. If you also consider the possibility of offering affiliate products or print on demand merchandise, your income can increase even more. The next class, we will look into this in more detail, but we can confirm without a doubt. There are search based channels generating anywhere from $500 a month because they are just starting out to over $20,000 a month through the affiliate program alone. This is the greatness of this business model. The possibilities of generating life changing income are high. You just need to have the right mindset to endure those first few months until you become part of the affiliate program. In the next class, we will show you several search based channels that are killing it with this business model. Hopefully, you'll be as motivated as we were the first time we realized how this works. See you soon. 10. Example Of Successful Search-Based Channels: Hello. In this class, we want to show you evidence of how much money search based channels can generate. Hopefully, this will also motivate you not only to complete the entire course, but also to take action and start your own channel. First, let me explain how we're going to do this. We're going to review three channels that are doing very well, just three to keep it from becoming tedious. To see the statistics, we'll use the same tool we used in our first course, social blade. If you're not familiar with it, we'll explain briefly. This is a website that allows you to see the performance of YouTube channels. It shows statistics like how many views they get per month. A range of income a channel may be generating, the ranking of the channel in its home country, subscriber growth, and similar data that can be quite interesting. But in this case, we're only going to focus on possible monthly earnings, annual earnings, and the number of views. You'll notice that the channels we're going to look at have different editing styles. But don't worry because the purpose of the video is the same. We'll also comment on how they differ. Let's get started. The first channel we're going to look at is one that's very popular right now. The name is Trevor Nas, and this person decided to use his personal name for his channel, and we'll show you why. This channel has a good size with 336,000 subscribers, which is a decent level of authority to rank videos. Remember that this is not as important as it once was, but it's still relevant to the algorithm. Something important to note is the number of videos. Trevor has published over 6,000 videos, incredible. As you can see, the branding of the channel is quite simple. The banner is straightforward and the profile picture is just a photo of him. If we look at his thumbnails, you'll see that they are quite simple as well. They typically have a dark background with a border generally matching the color of the app logo being discussed in the video. An image of a screenshot from the app and the app logo. The text is white, providing good contrast and readability. Here you can see the latest videos Trevor has published, which was just a few hours ago. We also notice that he publishes a large number of videos practically every day. Excellent work on his part. Now, let's take a look at his most popular videos. As expected, his most popular videos have surpassed 1 million views. There are a few things to pay attention to. One is that his most popular videos are on fairly common topics like how to find Instagram password and user name, how to hide all Facebook photos, and how to change your name on Facebook, among others. Other relevant point we can see thanks to the VDIQ extension is an estimated hourly view count for some videos. Despite being published for over two years, there are videos that continue to receive 15, 40, or even more than 50 views per hour. This is simply great and shows the importance of working with evergreen topics. Now let's watch one of Trevor's videos. My Internet seems to be acting a bit strangely, but I think it will still work. As you can see, Trevornas videos are not faceless. He has opted for a truly unique model that I haven't seen on any other channel. In his videos, he is always on camera, demonstrating the steps to follow and showing the screen of the mobile device on the side to display the process and which buttons to press. This sets Trevor's videos apart from the rest, although it doesn't necessarily add to the content of the video itself. However, viewers might perceive a higher level of editing quality leading to increased audience retention. Now that we've seen what Trevornas videos are like, it's quite impressive that he publishes around 20 videos a day. With practice, I imagine recording such a large number of videos becomes quite easy, but I doubt he does the editing himself. Let's take a look at his channel on Social blade. Let's go straight to what interests us. According to Social blade, Trevor is generating something $3000-47 thousand per month. Why such a wide range? Because social blade uses an RPM range of $0.25 to $4. For this type of channel, he's likely experiencing an average RPM closer to $4. How awesome would it be to be generating over $45,000 per month? Such income can definitely turn your life around. Even though Trevor is not managing this channel passively, I assure you that if he were to stop publishing for a couple of months, his income wouldn't be affected. His videos have received nearly 12 million views in the last 30 days, which is great. A bit further down, you can see this small graph of the total weekly views. As you can see the graph is on the rise, Just as we mentioned how these types of channels behave. Now let's take a look at another channel, it's called Guide Realm. Its owner seems to be quite young and you've probably seen him if you've recently searched for a tutorial. This channel has even more subscribers than Trevor with around 475,000 subscribers and has published about 2,400 videos. That's the first difference. In the thumbnails, the owner usually shows his face. What does this demonstrate? The flexibility that these types of channels have? Long as the thumbnail stands out, not much else matters. If we look at the most recent videos, we can see that guide realms videos tend to have a better initial performance compared to Trevors. What's the reason for this? Well, it's very difficult to know for sure. It's not because guide realms thumbnails have a human face. In fact, if you quickly review them, you'll notice that videos without a face in the thumb nail perform better than those with one. There's a significant difference in the number of subscribers, but this alone isn't sufficient to generate this effect. It also doesn't seem like this channel is buying views. Yes, it happens. You can find channels that sometimes have 7,000 views in the first 12 hours or videos with more likes than views. But it doesn't seem to be the case here. My assumption is that the algorithm holds this channel in high regard. They do excellent SEO. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Guide Realm uses the phrase, full guide in almost all of their videos. This can't be a coincidence. They've surely tested many phrases and this one yielded the best results. Other interesting point is that the number of videos published on this channel is lower than Traverse. It seems like they publish about ten videos a day and you can see the difference in the number of videos between them. Now, let's look at their most popular videos. This is interesting. Video game related topics are an awesome source of views, and roadblocks is most likely the best of them all. So many kids are day and night playing this game that it'd be crazy to overlook this opportunity. Look at these numbers. Out of the top six videos on this channel, four are about roadblocks. The first one has almost 5 million views, the second nearly 4 million, and the third 3 million. It's no coincidence. If we scroll down a bit more, it's pretty much more of the same. These types of videos may have a lower RPM, but they help you gain subscribers, watch hours and authority more quickly. Now let's watch one of their videos. This one caught my attention because not too long ago, I uploaded a video on this topic, and it got taken down for violating community guidelines. I want to see what their content is like. The first thing we notice is that the channel owner shows their face in the intro. But once the actual guide begins, they only show the screen share of the device. Let's see the first method. Okay, now, let's see another method. Definitely, this video is legal. In contrast, mind showed how to download any video from YouTube. What's funny is that I'm aware that such videos go against community guidelines. But at that moment, I didn't make the connection. After a few days, when the video had finally ranked and was generating an excellent number of views, I received a community strike. For this reason, we'll have a class later on about what types of topics to avoid to prevent strikes. Let's continue. Now, let's check out Guide realm on Social blade. Here we can see that this channel received 9 million views in the last 30 days, which is 2 million less than Trevor Nas. You can clearly see the difference from those 4,000 videos published by Trevor. The fact that Trevor publishes about twice as many videos per day is quite noticeable. This guy's monthly income should be around $36,000 through the Partner program. Imagine being this young and making that much money from your own work. That translates to nearly half $1,000,000 a year, which is incredible. Now, let's look at the graph. As expected, it's on the rise. Great, just as we indicated. Now, let's look at one last channel. Gauging gadgets is the name of this channel. It has about 300,000 subscribers and around 1,600 videos published. In the most recent videos, we can see there's no predetermined branding in their thumbnails. Again, this demonstrates the flexibility of these types of channels. In Trevor Nass channel, the thumbnails had a consistent design without human faces. In Guide realms, they had a consistent design with human faces, and in gouging gadgets, they don't even have a consistent design. Now, this is interesting, the number of views their videos receive. What might be happening here is that this channel has notifications enabled. That's why they publish so infrequently compared to the other two channels we looked at. This channel publishes one video a day, but it's very likely that they notify their subscribers. Of course, out of 300,000 subscribers, it's possible that around 800 are interested in learning how to send a location on WhatsApp? Or nearly 1,000 are interested in learning how to delete a YouTube video from the mobile app. This gives a significant boost to these new videos, helping them rank more quickly. This practice shouldn't be applied with new channels, since you can see it as if 1,000 people were interested in the video, but 299,000 were not. From so many videos that don't capture their attention, they'll start unsubscribing. If you have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, this isn't really a problem, since you're monetized and can regain subscribers with the videos you're ranking. But with a new channel, you'll lose more subscribers than you have the capacity to gain. We'll discuss strategies like this in more detail later. Let's see what the most popular videos on this channel are. Let me tell you something. These types of videos that appear on this page definitely have a higher RPM than the videos we've seen. How to record your screen with OBS opens the door for companies offering such software to advertise in this video, even if they're competitors. How to fix a Chrome book that won't turn on, allows for advertising laptop sales, and so on. Kudos to the owner of this channel for getting a lot of views on these types of videos. They've surely made significant earnings from them.'s even better is that they continue to receive views even after five years of being published, which is amazing. Now let's see how they edit their videos. Unlike the other two channels we observed, this is a 100% faceless channel. It's the most common type of search based channel, and as you can see, they can be equally or even more successful than channels that show faces. It's just screen sharing, banners on the sides, and that's it, super simple. Now, let's take a look at something we didn't pay attention to in the previous two videos. Let's check the description section and see if they have affiliate links. This is interesting. The owner puts the tutorial steps in the description. If they turn these into timestamps instead of just writing them, their SEO would improve. That's a small tip for you. Yes, of course, as expected, they have a large number of affiliate links. Excellent for them, they have links to software like Tube buddy. Further down, they have a list of affiliate links that include the devices they use to produce their videos. Great. Now let's check their social blade. Their graph. Of course, it's on the rise. This channel had about 5 million views in the last 30 days. This translates to around $21,000 per month according to social blade. But considering what the most popular videos on this channel are, it's quite likely that their income is higher than this, including only the partner program. We saw, they have affiliate links, and with that amount of views, they probably generate quite a few sales every month. That concludes this class. We wanted to make it a motivation for you to make you realize that it's possible to generate wealth using this business model and that it's worth it, really worth it, to go through those first months of low traction calmly, without rushing and being consistent, knowing that it's okay to make mistakes and try different things, see you in the next class. 11. Should I Pick A Subniche?: Our perspective in these types of channels, it's not worth choosing a sub niche. What do we mean by sub Niche? Well, focusing on tutorials about a specific platform. For example, Facebook, or maybe just concentrating on tutorials for mobile devices. This greatly limits the number of videos you can create. The truth is that niching down is a strategy used in channels in other niches to avoid facing excessively fierce competition. It's also used to convey to the algorithm, what type of content you publish so that it can suggest it more efficiently. At the same time, by having a channel focused on a subniH, it's more likely that there will be users who can relate to or show interest in your channel and subscribe. However, limiting the reach of your channel in exchange for gaining more loyal subscribers is not a good business move for this type of channel. This would go against the flexibility of search based channels, which is their greatest strength. Nonetheless, we've come across search based channels that focus on tutorials, for iPhone, for example, and it seems to be working well for them. If you look at it from a global perspective, this would distance you from an android user market that is almost 2.5 times larger than the IOS market. In conclusion, this is a decision that you as the channel owner have to make. But if you were to ask for our opinion, our response would be no, it's not worth dedicating a search based channel to a subnis because it would be a waste of potential. You would be leaving on the table not only the possibility of making even more money, but also complicating your chances of ranking by limiting the topics you can cover on your channel. 12. Take a Look at My Video's CPM!: Hi. In this lesson, I'm going to show you by firsthand, how much different topics within the Search Niche are paying. Most teachers tell you how much each topic is making, but they don't actually show you the screen directly from YouTube studio. I wanted to do something different. Let's start. You have already seen the name of this channel I've been using for the course, which just got monetized a couple of weeks ago. So there's not a point on hiding the video titles and things like that. This is the same small channel I've been mentioning along the course, and I like to try new things with it. I just want to ask something. If you are going to take a look to some of this channels videos, please, and I mean, pretty, please, watch the whole video. If you don't, that will affect negatively my audience retention. I'm exposing myself on this course. So please be nice and try not to mess with my video statistics. Okay. Let's see those CPMs. We are here on YouTube Studio dashboard. We need to go to Analytics and now click on Revenue. We scroll down to find Top earning content right here and click on the CMre button. This window opens up, and we get a bigger list of the top 50 earning videos. As you can see, the top earning video is about video games, which is a low paying niche, and it's in Spanish, but it's still generating well over $1 CPM. Now I'm going to scroll down, feel free to stop the video and take a good look on each videos CPM. Here, you can see a video about cash app and a video about a bank. Even though both videos are in Spanish, they have a really nice CPM of $15 or more, which is awesome. Now, I'm going to let the video run for a few seconds so you can take a look. What do you think in my experience, sometimes you see discrepancies, like a video about Instagram has a $4 CPM. And another video about Instagram has a $1 CPM. This is because the later one is getting most of the traction from countries like India, for example, where the CPM is very low. But still, it is very much well received. These kinds of videos are good to gain authority for your channel, but eventually the idea is to create tons of videos about high paying topics, like some you saw on this list, Clip chap banks, transferring money related apps. Video edition related videos have a nice CPM as well. I really hope you like this video. I hope it motivates you to start. This is proof you can make money with this strategy, not just a sell speech. See you soon. 13. Do We Land Promotions With a Small YouTube Channel?: Let me show you that you can actually learn some collaborations, even with a small channel under ten K subs. You have to understand you're not going to retire with the money you'll make from collaborations with a channel of the size, but you can make some money, you can reinvest in your channel to keep growing. This lesson is going to happen on Gmail rather than YouTube because this is where companies will contact us. Of course, for this to happen, we need to make our contact email if you don't do that, they'll have no way to contact you directly. To make your email public, you need to go to YouTube studio and open the customization menu. Scroll down a little bit and here you'll find the contact info box where you can put your email. If a company finds one of your videos and would like to contact you, they will go to your channel page, click on Me and this box will open with information about your channel. They will click here to see your email and now they'll be able to contact you and propose a collaboration. Now I'm here on Emil and I try to filter the collaboration proposals the best I could. And yes, we get a couple of proposals every month. Let me open the first one. As you can see, this company, CSTIx software is interested in collaborating with us. They make software for Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone. This is what it says. I was watching one of your recent videos, and I was impressed with the quality of your content. Your videos are informative and engaging, which is what we look for in a partner. We think that your channel the aligns perfectly with our product CSTRxPDF and we would love to explore the possibility of collaboration. We will provide you a product key to test our product and here's a link to the software website. The problem is, some of them will ask you to create a review video of their product and they give you a product key. In their minds, giving you the product key to access the full version of their software is good enough payment. And if you don't have any interest in the product, it simply isn't worth the time of creating a review video. That's the reason I didn't reply to them at first, but because they contacted me again, I give them a chance to reply. Maybe they are willing to add some money to the equation. Let's reply to them. Yan Kush, you know what? Let's take a look at the software first, so we're sure we want to work with them. PDF everything gets easier. Convert PDF, so it's pretty much like any PDF software. But the website looks good, very professional, so that's a green light. Let's go back and reply to them. What I'm going to say is something like this. Hi Yang yes, I'd be interested in collaborating with you and guessing you living to create a video review of six week PDF editor. But I would like to know what's their budget for the video, best regards. And my. That's it. I'm trying to be direct because they actually were not. They talk about being interested in working with me, but they didn't tell me what's their idea. So to shorten this conversation, I just asked them about their budget to know if they're actually willing to collaborate with me or if they just want me to create a video for them for free. Now see another one. Something you have to be aware of when collaborating with companies is most likely they will tell you they can only pay you via papal, and that's okay. But because intention people exist, you have to ask them to send you a digital contract. This way, both parties are held responsible for their actions and you cover your back. Imagine the scenario where you take the time to create a review video for a company and they offer you $100. You create the video and after a couple of months, the video statistics are not great and they decide to ask for a refund via PayPal. Pay will hold that money until the case is settled and the only way to cover your back is with a digital contract confirming you did everything they paid you to do and also the fact that the videos performance will not affect the deal in any. So there would be no reason to ask for a refund. You got paid for creating a video, not for generating X number of views. In this case, they didn't want to pay for the video. They were just offering the product key like the one before. That didn't show you a successful collaboration I did with a company I knew before they contacted me. The conversation happened in Spanish, even though they are a Chinese company, it looks like they are trying to get a piece of the Spanish speaking market. I'll upload an attachment with the conversation translated to English for you to read in case you are interested. Were very direct with what they wanted, and they asked for a collaboration price on the very first email they sent me a completely different approach from the other two before. They pretty much told me they wanted to add something to the video description and Pint Coming. For that, I charged them $20. That sentence or information is there to stay. It's not like some sort of subscription you get paid every month in case you are wondering. It's a one time payment for a very simple task that as you can see here, it didn't affect my video performance. A. In fact, the collaboration generated me more money than the generated revenue via YouTube ads. Then they asked me to make a combo, do the same for a different video for a total of 30 bucks. I had to decline because that second video performs three times better than the first one. I guess they were using something like a Q to see the videos visualization per hour. That kind of software may know how many views a video got in the last hour but doesn't know the full statistics. They thought the second video had a worse performance than the first one when in reality, it performs three times better. This is why I always say, there's no better place to get info from YouTube than YouTube itself. But either way, we landed this collaboration as you can see here. By the way, for this collaboration, I didn't ask for a contract because it was just $20 and the work that I had to do was so simple that in case something went out, my time wouldn't actually be wasted. Now, you know, collaborations actually happen with small channels and don't get anxious whenever you start getting these collaboration proposals. They are the ones contacting you. If you don't like the deal, just don't. 14. How To Grow Your Channel Size In Record Time: Come to this class, where we're going to talk about how we can use short form videos to boost our channel. In our previous course, we delved deeper into this topic, but this time we'll cover it more superficially because we don't need to be very specific with what we publish thanks to the flexibility that search based channels offer. Search based channels, we can use shorts to gain subscribers. It's an excellent way to quickly acquire subscribers because YouTube promotes this type of content. If the short has good engagement, it's not crazy to reach tens of thousands of views in one day. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this strategy, we are currently in the analytic section of a fairly new channel that hasn't received the attention it deserves. But you can see that in the last 90 days it has gained 221 subscribers. This image shows videos and shorts together. If we click on the content tab, you'll see the typical behavior of a search based channel with a rising graph, even though not many videos have been published. If we go to the shorts section, you'll notice that they initially see a surge in views, but then level off. However, this would be a problem if it weren't for this little number here. Out of the 221 subscribers, this channel has gained 102 have come from shorts, which is nearly half. During this time, only 15 shorts have been published compared to three or four times more long format videos. So, there's real utility in shorts. Don't overlook them, especially if you're starting with a new channel as they will help you grow much faster. What type of content should you publish in shorts? Here's the best part. You don't really have to worry about aligning the content you publish as shorts with the content of your channel. In this channel, you can see that the best shorts feature a man talking about life experiences, which have no relation to the tutorials published in the long format videos. Still, they've gained a good number of subscribers. Since we don't send notifications when we publish new videos, these subscribers are less likely to unsubscribe. Where can you find content to publish as shorts? Well, if you think you have any tutorials that can generate high engagement, go ahead and publish them as shorts, nothing is lost. But in our experience, it's better to publish content that a large number of people can relate to. Best place to find content is directly from YouTube. You can download the video and edit it so that only the important parts are in the short. If you decide to take content from Instagram Reels or TikTok, our experience is that even if you edit the videos, they won't be promoted by the algorithm. I don't know how it recognizes them, but they simply don't generate even one view. The other hand, by repurposing videos from YouTube itself, we've been able to generate a good volume of views. So if you come across a video with information that you find suitable for a short, save it as it could be a source of a good number of new subscribers. 15. Jumpstart Your Channel with Shorts & AI To Create Them: Hi. Now let me show you why we say shorts are an awesome way to jumpstart your channel. I'm here on YouTube Studio. Allow me to go to my short content. Here we are. Shorts. The best way to make use of them is to create a community and jumpstart your channel. Here I am in my search base channel, but the concept is the same for any YouTube automation channel. How do we make that? Well, because you get a lot of exposure with YouTube shorts, these are a great way to get subscribers really fast. Let me show you ten saps from this one this one only got two. This one got me five subscribers. This other one got me 15 subs. It may not sound like much, but when you're just starting getting around 30 subs a day, it's incredible. This one has got me 60 subs so far, but this one stuck around, so it keeps generating subs, which is very much appreciated. What do I want you to do with this information? Whenever you are starting a new channel, you should post three to four shorts on your channel every day for more than 15 days in a row before you post your first long form video. Of course, your shirts have to be relevant for your niche. In this specific channel, the shirts are not related because it's a search based channel. I'm not looking to create a community. I just want to run my video. In a channel in any other niche like movies, sports, cars, whatever, upload charts related to your niche. People who subscribe because of those shorts will be interested in your long videos. It's very likely you'll get views from upload notifications, and the best part is YouTube's algorithm will have a better idea of what your target audience is. It would be like your training the algorithm to understand what kind of people will enjoy your video. So remember for new channel, three to four shorts every day for at least 15 days. On the 16, you can start uploading your long from videos. If you want to keep uploading shorts after your first long video upload, that's great. It will keep getting you tailored subs to your channel. This strategy will help you to reach the 1,000 subs and 4,000 hours of WatchT requirement faster. Taking into account shorts won't count as WatchT for the YouTube partner program, but it will get you subs that will be willing to watch your long video. Let me show you an awesome AI that will create amazing shorts using your long form videos. I know there are several AIs that do this, but this one is actually really good at it. We are on clap APP, as you can see here, have already uploaded a long form video from which we are going to create the short. I'm sure you remember this video from Brandon Chephr Channel, over Complicating famous B. See the short it created from this video. You can see it shows a relat score. I 75 a 100, which I guess is not that bad for such a niche topic. It gives you a summary of what the short is about. It also has a transcript and the short is 53 seconds long. Let's play. Let's start off, let's go full scrap text from the head. Because I want to give our boy something he's never had before a body. Now, I don't know about you guys, but any time I looked at the original logo, I always imagined him as a little showman, you know, kind of like the ring leader in a circus. So let me just get some reference here. Now, if this isn't clearly a trained professional, I don't know what it is. So let me just drop this in here. Get rid of all these posers. Then just rearrange his body here. So basically, I'm just going to do an illustration for all of this. I just want to set up a base for reference first. Now, I'm not sure a whip is an appropriate item for him. So maybe a cane would work a bit. Basically, everybody on the Internet agrees that Mr. Pringle and the Monopoly guy are twins. And since we all know twins like Sherry, I'm just going to borrow his arm and top hat here. The place right there. Let me get it so he doesn't have two right arms. I guess this Bowtie logo should be a tad bigger, so it can kind of act as a natural cut off to his body. And maybe I can scoot everything down just a bit to get it all more centered. Do you think? Pretty good. It's worth mentioning that those scenes are not in order, are not linear. The AI trim and cut the scenes to make the shorts and the captions is a really nice touch. Even the audio match perfectly. No wear cuts either on the video or the audio. Clap not only generates one short, it generates ten shorts from the same video, which is amazing. The first one is always better. You can see we can download it and even edit it directly from clap. You can see the caption, SIM cards, and everything. Sadly, clap is not a free service. Let's see the plans. The basic plan is enough honestly when you are just starting out because it allows you to upload ten videos which transform into 100 shorts. For only $29, you get 100 shorts a month. That's $0.29 per short, super cheap. Even if you don't like some of the shorts, you saw you can edit them to your preference. Want to go crazy or you have a lot of long form videos from which you can get shorts, then the plan Clap pro is a really good option because it lets you upload 30 videos. For this AI, I don't have a promotion code or link, so I'm just going to add the regular URL on this lessons attachment. No point on adding a feeler link. If you, the student, don't get any benefit from it. Hope you like this AI that will totally help you with your shorts production. See you soon. 16. How To Find Good Video Topics For Free: Welcome to this class where we're going to talk about how to find good video topics for our search based channel. We can narrow this down to three main strategies. Of course, there are more, but these three are the most common using our best friend, the YouTube search bar, using software that provides a list of possible topics or the old and reliable method of checking out the competitions videos. Let's start with the most basic and actually the best of all. Those who dominate the basics are often considered masters. The YouTube search bar is an almost endless source of video ideas. Because as you begin typing a phrase, it will give you a list of recommendations that YouTube thinks might interest you based on what you've already written. To use this, it's best to open a new incognito window so that YouTube doesn't have information about us. It will show the most popular topics, instead of those it thinks you might like. Open YouTube and start typing in the search bar. If you type how two, the bar will offer you the following auto complete options, organized by the number of searches. Here, you can already find some interesting video ideas like how to make AI cover songs, how to edit PDF, or how to recover deleted photos from iPhone. To get more specific topics, we can now type in A, quickly scan the options, and if you find something that catches your eye, write it down for further investigation. After finishing with A, we move on to B, go through the same process of identification and proceed with the letter C. I imagine you're getting the idea of how this process works. It may seem a bit tedious and even mechanical. But without a doubt, it's one of the best ways to get good video ideas. What happens when we run out of letters in the alphabet? Well, it's simple. We just add one more letter. In this case, we can search for AB, take a look, and if there's nothing useful, proceed to search for AC. In this combination of letters, we can find topics more in line with what we're looking for. We can see interesting topics like how to activate chat in row blocks or how to activate two F A on fortnight. Can go further and take a look at AD. Again, here we can see topics that might be interesting, like how to add music to Instagram post or how to add music in Facebook profile. I'm not saying these are worth making videos about, but they are possible topics that may be worth investigating to make an informed decision about whether to create a video on them or not. Now, let's try something a bit different. Instead of searching by letters, we can search using verbs. For example, we can try delete, so we look at the results for how to delete. A little tip, if for some reason, the search bar doesn't show you suggestions, add a space, and it should work. I don't know if this happens to everyone, but it happens to me from time to time. Continuing, as you can see in the suggestions, we get a list of several topics that would be relevant to us. How to delete an Instagram account, how to delete a YouTube channel. Practically, all the topics on this suggestion list apply. Although the one that might be a bit more challenging to do is how to delete PS four games because it requires having a playstation four, but it's still doable. Now we can try how to change. Although not all the results on the list are useful, there are some that we could work with. Any topic that we can create a screen recording video for is a possibility. We can further filter the results by typing one of the platforms we know we can work with, for example, Instagram. The search bar presents a list of suggestions for topics that include the term, how to change Instagram, such as changing the password, changing the user name, changing the profile picture, et cetera. Can do the same with Facebook, and although the results are similar, you'll notice they're not the same because these suggestions aren't shown generically, but are taken from user searches on the platform, containing the term, how to change Facebook or how to change Instagram. Now we're going to show you something interesting that not many people know. What if you want the suggestion bar to show suggestions for words that are in the middle of a sentence? For this, we can use the underscore. How does it work? For example, if we want suggestions on how to do something on Facebook, we would write how to underscore Facebook. The bar will automatically show results ignoring the underscore. But if we add an extra space between Facebook and the underscore and then delete it, something magical happens. The tool bar shows us suggestions of different verbs in place of the underscore, and not only that, but sometimes it also provides long keywords by suggesting complete sentences with words after Facebook. I don't know if you understand how powerful this is. Right now, YouTube is presenting us with the most searched suggestions on the entire platform for how to do something on Facebook. Here, we're not relying on third party software or guessing. The platform itself is telling you, Hey, these are the most common searches on all of YouTube for how to do something on Facebook. This is simply fantastic. Now, let's try to do the same thing with Instagram. Here you can see the results. Now it's up to you how to use this strategy. You can experiment a bit. For example, you can place the underscore at the beginning to see if there are searches that don't use any term other than how to. In this case, there are none. Well, this is how you can use the YouTube search bar to get video ideas. Now let's take a look at websites that provide us with a list of terms that can help us get video ideas. The first one is keywords heater com. This website offers a list of possible keywords related to what we type. But before entering our base keyword, let's change this filter from classic to YouTube. Let's close this tab. Here we are again. Now, let's enter our first keyword. We'll use How to Instagram. I like to use an ellipsis here, although I don't think it's necessary. Then click on Start sheeting. Now the website will start delivering a really long list of keywords that include the term How to Instagram. It will keep generating keywords until we click on Stop. So let's stop it. In just a few seconds, we've got 323 keywords with this term. The idea now is to review this list and note down any terms that catch our attention. Some are grammatically well written and others not so much, but they can still give you ideas for videos that you might not have thought of before. Now let's look at another website. You ght to complete me Do Dao. This website is similar to keyword sheeter, but provides results in alphabetical order. We enter our term and click on Auto Complete M. Here are our results, 453 results. As you can see, the results are well organized, so this is a very good website to check when you're looking for video ideas. Let's move on to a third website, exploding topics.com. This website is different from the previous ones. It shows you trending platforms on Internet. As you can see, some topics are locked because they have a paid version of the website. But with the free version, we can still observe most of them and perhaps find a platform that is just getting traction, which we can create videos about early. If we scroll down a bit, you can see something interesting here, pre plea. A platform for learning languages. From what we see on the page, it's been on the rise and has an excellent search volume of almost 700,000. This suggests that it's worth researching more about this platform because there may be an opportunity to create several videos about it. We can scroll down a bit more or we can do this. In the filters at the top, we can choose technology and see companies of this type that are gaining relevance. It's a matter of searching carefully and noting and verifying those that catch our attention. Now, Let's use another website, one that you probably used because it's owned by Google. Google Trans is a very good source of keywords. To use it, click on Explore. Right away we see this, it seems that Chat GPT still has a very high search volume. Of course, ranking, a video based on Chat GPT would be extremely challenging. But if you manage to do it, it would be spectacular. We can click to see other trending topics. There's nothing that fits what we're looking for. Let's search for something. Let's type Instagram alone because we're looking for recommendations the page can give us. Of course, the search volume for this term is very high. Let's scroll down to see what related terms to Instagram it recommends. Here you can see Instagram threads is trending. This seems to be Metas response to Twitter and is gaining some relevance again. Let's move on to the next page. Instagram notes is something that might interest us. Let's see what else is there. How to see who blocked you on Instagram is a keyword that keeps receiving a large number of searches. Instagram Reels download might be useful. Let's click on it. Here we can see that the web search for this term has been growing over the last 12 months. An excellent feature of Google Trans is the ability to filter the results among the different search engines that the company owns, including YouTube. If we select it, it will show us the search level this term has had within YouTube. It's much lower than the search volume it has in Google Search. But this doesn't discourage us because we can get a lot of views for our videos from Google. Our videos have the ability to rank on Google itself and capture a portion of the high search volume this term has on Google. This has been the second strategy on how to get video ideas. Now let's move on to the third, which is checking out what the competition is posting. For this, we go back to YouTube and search for practically any term that can apply to this type of channel. In this case, we're not interested in the term itself, but in the different channels that appear in the results. As a term, we can use how to delete Instagram account. We simply start opening different channels that appear in the results in new tabs. Why do we do this? Well, because other search based channels are just like you. Always looking for new video ideas that aren't saturated. This is a way to ease the search work as in the most recent videos. We can sometimes find a video that's performing particularly well compared to others published around the same time. This means there's an opportunity in that keyword. Let's open two channels from this search and two channels from another search. In this case, we'll use the underscore and choose this term how to download reels on Instagram. Now let's proceed to check them. When on the channels, we go to the videos tab to see the most recent videos. Let's see what we find here. Well, this channel isn't very helpful as it hasn't posted for almost a year. Anyway, let's take a quick look. Let's go with the next channel, Apple Gi. Again, we open the videos tab and start looking for a video that's performing better than the others published around the same time. Immediately, we find this one called How to reset iPhone, Full Guide. It has around 2,300 views in one day, which is a significant difference compared to the other videos published at the same time with 20, 30, or 40 views. Let's scroll down a bit more to see if we find another video. Look at this one, Facebook Password Reset. Has about 30 times more views than the other videos published around the same time. These two are keywords that are worth exploring further. Let's check the other channels to see what else we find. This channel is called Fas Tech. Let's go to the videos tab. It appears to be a channel that handles different types of videos, not just search based ones. Some seem to be automated, but in another niche. There are several tutorials, but it's not a channel that particularly catches my attention. Anyway, let's look at this video, how to fix meta verified, not showing on Instagram. It has 14,000 views in one month, which is quite a lot compared to the other videos on the channel. Now, let's see the last channel. It's called Web Extensions. Although it has some tutorial type videos, it seems to focus more on review type videos. Well, in a couple of minutes without delving too deep, we found three videos that seem to have a good reception since their publication. This is a good sign, but we repeat. There's nothing that guarantees that a video you publish will rank from the start or even rank at all. These are the main ways you can get video ideas. Later in the course, as a bonus, we'll mention how you can get ideas for videos with a high RPM. In the meantime, in the next class, we'll talk about an excellent tool for getting keywords that deserves its own class, which is why we didn't include it in this list. See you there. 17. Free & Reliable Tool To Find Keywords: The best tools to get keywords, surprisingly isn't mentioned on YouTube videos or inexpensive courses. In fact, this tool is more reliable than any you'll find, even more so than any pay tool. How am I sure of this? Well, because this tool belongs to YouTube itself, who better than YouTube to provide you with accurate information about its own platform. This is YouTube's own keyword research tool. To access it, you need to open YouTube studio on your channel. Now, let's go to the analytics section. Click on Research. This tool is provided by YouTube to content creators to find high quality keywords based on data collected in the last 28 days. First, let me tell you about the tool and its parts, and then we'll put it to the test. Here, you can see that it has three tabs. Searches across YouTube is probably the tab we'll use the most. Here, we can search for any term, and the tool will show us in order the most search keywords on the platform related to that term. You can search for both long and short keywords, and among the results, you'll see both long and short keywords. Your viewers searches, as the name suggests, shows you the most search terms among people who have viewed your videos. This works better for channels with a Sniche or those outside the search based Niche, but you should definitely check it from time to time. Saved is where you can see all the keywords you've saved during your research. Now, let's go back to the Search Across YouTube tab and type how two as an example. Here, you can see in order the most searched keywords across the entire platform containing the term how two. It displays a maximum of three pages with ten terms per page. On the right side of the results, you'll see a column called search volume on YouTube, where you can see three possible results, high, medium, and low. Of course, our goal is always to target keywords with a high search volume. But it's not a bad idea to try some that say medium. On this specific results page, even though there are no specific numbers, we are sure that the term how to draw has a higher search volume than the terms below it. Something we haven't mentioned yet are these three filters at the top of the results. The first one is a filter for the type of searches. If you open it, you'll see two options, all searches and content gaps only. What does content gap mean? Let's search for a term considered a content gap to see what YouTube says about it. If we hover over the question mark, a box pops up with the following explanation. A content gap is a way of measuring what viewers are searching for and the results they find. A content gap can happen when Vewers can't find any results for their searches. Viewers can't find an exact match for their searches. Vewers can't find relevant videos for their searches. For example, the content is old or low quality. You may want to use a content gap as a starting point to research videos that don't exist or could be improved. Now, let me know if there's a paid tool that offers this type of information. Really isn't a tool that does this. YouTube itself is telling you, Hey, pay special attention to these terms because it seems that the results aren't satisfying the viewers who are searching for them. Is this a guarantee that your video will be successful if you publish a well optimized video for this term? O. Let me explain why. Sometimes you'll see that a term like how to screen record on iPhone is considered a content gap. But if we search for this specific term, you'll see that there are very similar terms that are not considered content gaps, like how to record screen on iPhone. Because these terms are so similar, even if you target the first one, you'll have to compete with videos that have been optimized for the second one. Nevertheless, content gaps are terms to consider and investigate further because they increase the chances of finding valuable keywords. The next filter is four languages. Currently, this tool only filters terms in English, Japanese, Korean, and Hindi. It's likely that they'll add more languages in the future. However, these four languages can be interesting since Japan and Korea are markets with good CPM, and India is a market with a very large population. Last filter is geographic and is also quite limited. Nevertheless, it includes very interesting markets like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and India. It allows you to see which terms are most searched for in these specific countries. Now let's see how it works. Let's say you don't even have a rough idea in your head. You can start searching by platform. For example, you can type Instagram. Here, you can see the most searched keywords that include the term Instagram. If any of them catch your eye, you can click on them and the search for that term will open in a new tab. This is a great advantage over regular searching in the search bar as your research search will remain intact in the first tab. For example, let's click on How to delete Instagram account. Here. You can check if the video has potential. If you don't know how to check this, don't worry. We'll have a lesson on that later. If you suddenly find that this keyword is very saturated, you don't necessarily have to give up. You can use this same term to do a reverse search. Copy and paste, the term, and the tool will give you a list of variations of this term that are being searched on the platform. Other option is to change the verb to another one. In this case, we changed delete to erase and started checking, or you can try the term remove and review the terms until you find one that looks promising. If you have a broad idea about a topic you want to cover, you can use incomplete phrases. For example, if you'd like to make a video about Instagram Sams, you can type Instagram theme. Here. You'll see a variety of keywords containing these terms that might not have crossed your mind. For example, a video about how to change themes on Instagram is different from a video about how to fix the issue of the Themes option, not appearing on your Instagram account. One more thing I'd like to briefly mention is that you can treat the search tool like a search bar. Let me show you a quick example. The tool automatically uses the underscore function when adding words to the term we're searching for, as we've noticed. What if we want it to include a specific term in all the results? We can use quotation marks. If we search for the term how to ro blocks. Hoping the tool will show us a variety of keywords that include how to do something in row blocks, it will show us these results. As you can see, none of these terms include how to. Why does this happen? Possibly because these other terms have such high search volume that the tool chooses to show them to you. But if we enclose how two in quotation marks and search again, this time, all the terms include the how two part. As you can see, this tool is quite comprehensive and being YouTube zone, we consider it highly accurate. In the next class, we'll talk a bit about how paid and free tools compare. 18. Paid Tools Vs Free Tools: Hello, welcome to this class where we are going to discuss whether it's better to use paid or free tools to find relevant keywords. Considering the previous lessons, I imagine you have a sense of our stance on this topic. In fact, in our course, YouTube automation 0-0, we already talked about this. Paid tools won't provide you with any information that you can't find for free. I understand that it's nice to see search volume statistics in numbers rather than levels. But who guarantees that the numbers shown to you in software like VIDQ or two buddy are accurate? We prefer to use the tools provided by YouTube itself for this type of research. YouTube's research tool even tells you what search volume the keywords have. Better than YouTube to give you data about its own platform? Absolutely no one. This doesn't mean you can't get good ideas with these tools, of course, you can, just like you can with morning fame. But does paying for these premium tools give you an advantage over the competition? Not really. We prefer to invest those $30 a month that these tools may cost in creating 15 videos. Those 15 videos will be much more useful and profitable in the long run. A big online influencer conspiracy talking wonders about these kinds of tools, especially to Buddy and VDI. The reality is that they don't promote them, because the product is excellent, but because they receive a commission for every month, paid by those who registered through their affiliate links. This is not the type of information we're here to share. We don't think it's right to incentivize you to buy software that won't give you any advantage after you've already purchased this course. It's like trying to charge you twice. We don't support this kind of behavior. We prefer to offer you free tools that perform even better. Is our stance on this debate between free and paid tools. If you want to investigate paid tools, please go ahead. It's a decision you as the owner of your channel have to make. Don't let anyone put ideas in your head. It's better to form your own opinion. In the next class, we will talk about a non active but free way to get video ideas. See you then. 19. How To Find Free Curated Video Ideas: Hello. In this class, we're going to show you an excellent way to get video ideas. Another one. As you create videos and they start gaining traction, you'll notice that there will be users asking you if you know how or if you can make a video about a specific tutorial. Why is this so powerful? Well, it's very likely that if this user took the time to write that comment, it's because they have already searched for that tutorial and couldn't find it. This won't always be the case. Sometimes they just ask without having done a prior search. But it's worth listening to them and investigating whether it's worth making a video on this topic. If you already have a channel with substantial traction, and you're receiving many comments. You can use the comments section in YouTube Studio to filter the comments and see only those formulated as questions. To do this, open YouTube Studio, select the comments section, clear the I haven't responded filter, and click the filter menu. From the list, select the Contains Questions option, and you're all set. This makes it easier for you to find these types of requests on your channel because most or all people write these comments in the form of questions. This is a passive way to get video ideas. However, you can also apply the same strategy proactively. Although you may have to search quite a bit before finding a good number of potential videos. The way to do it is straightforward. Just start opening videos and read the comments, looking for users who are requesting or asking if that channel can create a particular tutorial. I don't really recommend the proactive approach because you'll spend a lot of time in front of the screen and you can't filter, comments on third party channels. But it's important to know that it's an option. If you want to, give it a try, or at least stay sharp paying attention to the comment section whenever you're watching someone else's videos. 20. How To Verify If A Video Is Worth Creating: To verify if it's worth creating a video on a topic you find interesting. This is quite simple and will be based on SEO. Unlike if it were a video in another type of Niche outside search based tutorials. In this case, we cannot rely solely on the videos that are performing best for our competition. This is because in digital tutorial videos, the same topic can have hundreds and hundreds of videos that meet the demand for that topic. Competition in these cases can be tremendous, competing with hundreds of videos from channels with tens of times more subscribers than yours can be challenging. So to confirm if it's worth creating the video, we can do the following. Once we have a list of the topics we want to confirm, I have several tabs open here with different topics. Let's perform a search for these terms. The first one we're going to investigate is how to delete Threads account. Once here, we proceed to check the size of the channels that are ranked in the top ten positions. The smaller the better, there's no specific number here. I can only tell you that the smaller the ranked channels are, the easier it will be for you to surpass them. This doesn't mean you can't rank above an account with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. If your video is better and is better received by viewers, you will eventually rank above the larger channels. Here, we can see that there are several channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers in the top three. On average, the channels in the top ten positions have about 200,000 subscribers, which is quite high. We should also look at the number of views they have received. The threads topic is relatively new, so the videos are two months or less old. However, you can see that even though it was trending at some point, these videos don't have large view counts. 16,000 views in two months is not bad at all. But this is the video with the most views, which doesn't make it very attractive. Based on this, it seems that we could discard this topic. We're discarding it because it doesn't generate many views. Now let's look at this other topic about how to log into TikTok if you forgot your password. You can see here, the size of the channels ranked is even larger. But the number of views they receive is much more attractive. Let's not discard it just yet. Another important point is the quality of the thumbnails. Ask yourself, Are my thumbnails more attractive than those of these videos? If your answer is yes or at least almost yes, then it's a good sign. Other point to consider is the SEO. I don't know if you've noticed, but the videos that appear as results don't precisely use the keyword we're searching for. To confirm this, we open the text search option by pressing Cutrol plus F or command plus F on MAC. We paste our keyword there and see how many matches there are. In this case, we found no matches among the video results. The four that appear are one from our search, and three are from the VDC sidebar. This is excellent for us because the main weighting factors within the algorithm are the title and description. If there's no video using this term and we add it both in the title and description, we'll have an advantage over the competition. This is recent enough to create this video because we know it has a high search volume. And this specific term is not used in the SEO, among the videos already published. Let's search for one last term. In this case, we'll check how to get free hair in roadblocks. The first thing we notice is that these videos receive a large number of views, which is excellent. At the same time, among the rank channels, there are several with a large number of subscribers, which is not so good. But if we scroll down a bit, we'll see a quite small channel that has 86,000 views in just three months, which is great. At the same time, if we search the term on the page, it tells us that there are nine results. Four we know are from DQ, and the others are shorts. There's a possibility of ranking long format videos using this term in the title and description. Keep in mind when creating the thumb nail, that this seems to be a term targeted at girls. You need to create a thumb nail that appeals to them. To be honest, despite the size of the channels in the results, I would make a video on this term. In search based channels, we don't have to be rigid. The production cost of the videos allows us to take risks. There's a possibility that if we create a video on this term, we may not rank. But what if we did manage to rank? Among the results, there are several videos that receive thousands of views per day. These not only generate income, but also provide you with a large number of subscribers. This tells the algorithm that it should try ranking your other videos a bit higher. If we create this video, there's a chance of ranking, but if we don't create it, the possibility is absolutely zero. Conclusion, we can say that to verify if a video is worth creating, we need to review the size of the channels ranked in the results. An average of 10,000 subscribers among the top ten videos would be ideal. The fewer, the better. But this doesn't have to stop you completely if this condition is not met. The number of views that the videos on this term receive is very important. An average of 20,000 views per month is a good sign. The calculation is quite simple. Divide the number of views by the months the videos have been published. I on average, the videos receive more than 20,000 per month, it's a good sign. SEO is one of the most relevant points. We don't want to compete with dozens of videos targeting the same term. Having fewer than ten videos optimized for the term we're looking for is ideal. And finally, thumbnails. We always have to strive to create the most eye catching thumbnail to get a good CTR, which tells the algorithm that it's worth ranking us. I hope that with this class, it's clear to you how to verify if a video is worth creating. As you can see, it's not an exact science, but there are points of attention. We can observe to make a final decision. 21. Watch Me Find Good Video Topics: Come to this class where we are going to search for a good topic from scratch to create a video on. For this, we will use the YouTube search tool method. Once we're here, we type how two in quotation marks to ensure that this term is included in the search and completed with account. We're looking for a high volume search term related to how to do something with an account on some platform. We take a look, searching for a term that's a bit out of the ordinary, which in theory should be easier to rank for. Here's one. How to remove Google account from Android phone. We right click and open it in a new tab. Down here is a variation of the same term. Let's open it to to see if one is less crowded than the other in terms of SEO. Let's also open this one, which has the content gap notice, how to disable Instagram account. Let's take a look at this one, how to open a DMAT account. I don't know what DMAT is, so it could be interesting. Let's check the last page. Here's another content gap, how to verify your YouTube account. Remember that content gaps are not a fixed thing to check. But these topics sound diverse. They're not the most common terms, so they catch my attention. Let's confirm the terms we've found. The first thing we notice is that the thumbnails are quite unappealing in my opinion, which is good for us. The videos have a good number of views, but the channels are quite large. Let's scroll down a bit more. Here's a video from a much smaller channel that has a decent number of views. It's a short. I didn't notice. Let's keep scrolling down a bit more. To be honest, it doesn't seem very promising, but before we decide, let's see how often this term is repeated among the videos. We open the text search. It's repeated 20 times. This is quite a lot for such a long keyword. This term is a maybe, but it doesn't excite me much. Let's see the other term, that was similar. The story is not very different as they are almost the same videos, just in a different order. Let's move on to the term how to disable Instagram account. Here we see that a smaller channel is second, which is good. The number of views is good, but the problem is that the channels are quite large in this term, too. Let's scroll down a bit more. Here's another video from a small account that has received a decent number of views in two weeks. Now let's see how often this term is used. Only 16 results, of which I think more than four are from VDIQ. We can see that much further down the page. The term is repeated several times. Let's take a look. Look. There are two quite small channels that use this term in the title and description. In fact, they got a very good number of views in four months for such small channels. This is a good sign. For this, we can definitely create a video. Now let's look at our next term, how to open a DMAT account. This seems to be some platform in Asia, but the number of subscribers these channels have is incredibly high. Almost 10 million, 3 million, 2 million, 4.5 million. This is insane. We better stay away from here. It doesn't make sense to continue looking at this term. We're left with the term how to verify your YouTube account, a quick look. No, large channels and very low view volume. Anyway, let's check how often this term is repeated. 75 times too much for us. Let's go back to the search tool. Let's try to find another term since we now have two nos. One maybe leaning towards no, and one yes. I would like to find at least one more term on which to create a video. This time, let's try how to create. How to create a whatsapp channel could be interesting. We open it in a new tab. Down here is another one, how to create a broadcast channel on Instagram. Let's see. I'm aware that the WhatsApp topic may not receive much interest within the United States. But you have to remember that it's the most downloaded app in history with over 5 billion downloads only on the Google Play Store. There's a huge market for content related to this app. There's something I like about this topic. Even though the channels present in the results are quite large. We see that they have a huge volume of views, and the top three videos are dedicated to the Asian market. Videos for the Indian audience, for the Arabic audience. What opportunity does this present? If you decide to create a video on this topic, why not create a thumbnail featuring a Western looking person? Remember, all of Europe, South America, and Central America use this app. It's very likely they'll click on a video that seems to be dedicated to them and not to the Asian market. I'm aware that in all of Europe, English is not the primary language. The same goes for Central and South America, but there are people who search in English. YouTube also tends to offer videos in other languages once they have subtitles that match the viewers default language. Look here, another plus point. Here's a video from a channel with fewer than 1,000 subscribers that has around 23,000 views in three weeks. If we scroll down more, there's a video about creating a Whatsapp channel in Tamil. Here we find the first video that seems to be aimed at a Western audience, the numbers are quite good. But the title is poorly optimized. If it had the correct term, it would surely have many more views. Let's search how many times this specific term is repeated. 41 times is quite a lot, but I still see an opportunity here. I really like this term to be honest. Let's take a look at the other term, how to create a broadcast channel on Instagram. In terms of competition size, this is more like what we're looking for. The channel sizes are around 12,000 subscribers in the top three videos. The view volume isn't crazy, but since it's easier to compete here, it's still a good option. Let's see how many times the term is repeated. It's 23 times, which is quite a lot. Let's try going back to the search tool, and see if there's a variation of this term that's less competitive. Let's type Broadcast Instagram to show us terms that include these two keywords. Here's a variation. Instead of using how to create a broadcast channel on Instagram, this term says how to make a broadcast channel on Instagram, a small change that can make a big difference. Let's open it. Let's see what else we can find here. Broadcast channel Instagram, not available. Tutorials that solve these types of problems usually have good audience retention, so let's open it as well. Let's check. The variation of how to make a broadcast channel on Instagram results in the same videos. Let's proceed to check how many times this specific term is repeated. It's only repeated six times of which at least four we know are from VDIQ. Much better than the previous one. If you were to create this video, which in my opinion has potential, I would use how to make a broadcast channel on Instagram, since it's less competitive and has a similar search volume. It's even possible that if your video is well received, it might start ranking in the results for how to create a broadcast channel on Instagram. Now let's look at the last term. Broadcast channel Instagram not available. There's a mix of medium sized and small channels. Mostly, they are small, but the view volume is really low. I wouldn't recommend creating a video on this term. Well, this is the end of this class. In the end, we managed to quickly find three potential topics to create a video on. I hope you liked it. Remember that there are different ways you can find video ideas. In this case, we focused on the research tool, which is my favorite. You have no experience searching for video topics, I recommend practicing whenever you have free time. You'll see how quickly you improve and it's really not complicated at all. In the next class, we will look at the structure of a search based video. See you there. 22. Structure Of A Search-Based Video: Welcome to this class where we will discuss the structure of videos for search based channels. The truth is that these types of videos are quite straightforward, but it's a good idea for you to know how they are composed, even if you decide to outsource all the work. In this case, we will be using Fil Mora, so you can see how the main parts of the video are separated. We will also use this same software for our next video, which is about creating a video of this type. This occasion, we will use an example video that I've downloaded from YouTube. It's a short video, only 1 minute long, so the class won't be too long. Before playing the video, I want to show you the tracks down here. This is the actual video, and the one below is the video's audio. Here we have the footage and the voice over of the video. As you can see in the video composition, there's only the screen recording of the cell phone. On the sides, there's a bar that you can use to display video information, promote your channel, or whatever you desire. This order doesn't have to be set in stone. You can position the video slightly to one side to have an even larger empty space to experiment with. Some also believe that placing the video to the side improves audience retention. However, it's up to you to experiment until you find what works best for you. Let's play. How log out of your X account. Welcome to another gauging gadgets tutorial video. In this video I'm going to show you how to log out of your X or Twitter account within the X app on an iPhone or Android phone. And if this video helps you, please consider giving it a like, and also subscribe You could hear in the first 15 seconds of the video. The narrator mentions the videos title several times or variations of it. This is done to help with SEO. The algorithm can listen to what the narrator says and index it. This also appears in the videos auto generated subtitles, which are also indexed by the algorithm and taken into account for SEO. Within the same time frame, the narrator asks viewers to subscribe to the channel and leave alike if they find the video useful. This is a good practice as long as it doesn't feel intrusive to the viewer. Let's continue. Channel because that really helps me out. So to log out of the X app on our iPhone or Android phone, the first thing we need to do is simply open up the X app, then select the home book. Here, the tutorial has already begun. I stopped the video because this is really important. Many channels don't make use of this, but explicitly showing the viewer, which buttons to press improves the experience significantly. No matter how simple the steps may be, viewers want to see how things are done, not just be told. There's an important difference between these approaches. We continue. Button in the bottom left. This will bring you to your feed on x, and all we need to do here is select your profile image in the top left of the app. Then once the menu opens, scroll down and select settings and support. Once you select that, select settings and privacy under that. Now that we're in the settings for X, select your account at the very top, and then select account information. Now at the bottom, we can see logo. All we need to do is select that and then confirm that we do indeed want to logo of X. So that's how you log out of the X app on an iPhone or Android phone. Do you have any questions about this? Lave comment below, get back to you as soon as I can. If you'd like to see more X tips and The tutorial has now ended. This space is used by the owner to promote other videos from their channel, as well as their social media and other content. This is a good practice. It's not really necessary, but it's a good idea to at least add n screens, since you can get some additional views. It's also a good idea to include the title in written form in the video, since the algorithm can read this. As you can see, the structure of a video of this type is quite simple. The video can be a bit longer or a bit shorter. It might be 5 minutes if you have multiple solutions to the same problem. But overall, the structure remains the same. If it's recorded from a PC, the differences that you won't have the side bars. It will be in full screen mode. However, the structure really doesn't change. To summarize, a video of this type has the two main components, the footage and the voiceover. As part of the editing, it's a good idea to add the written title. It's also a good idea to mention the keywords several times in the voiceover. Clearly identify which buttons the viewer should press. At the very least, add en screens at the end of the video. See you in the next class, where you'll see me quickly creating a video for search based channels. 23. How To Create A Search-Based Video: Hello. In this class, we're going to quickly create a video for search based channels. Although this course is about how to automate this entire process by hiring freelancers, there will be those who decide to start their channel by recording videos themselves, and that's perfectly fine. Even if your plan is to outsource from the beginning, it doesn't hurt to know how to edit a video of this type. This time, I'm going to use a video from the previous course that works well for this example. As you can see, we are in FilMora, and we already have our video and voice over tracks setup. I won't redo the voice over to keep the video from being too long. In Fil Mora, you can record the voice over directly by clicking on the microphone. Selecting the device you're going to use to record your voice. I recommend not recording using the built in computer microphone, but you also don't need expensive equipment. A decent quality microphone that comes with headphones is sufficient. There's no need to buy a microphone for this. Once you have your audio, you need to synchronize it with the video so that the viewer has a seamless experience. Once everything is synchronized, we'll proceed to add a title and highlight the buttons that the viewer needs to press. First, let's go with the title. In Pill Mora, you can do this by clicking on Titles. Go to the lower thirds section. Choose a design, click and drag it onto a track above the video. This is how the animation looks. Double click and type our title, which is how to create a YouTube channel. If myself. Adjust the size of the rectangle to make it look good. Went to the last ten random with list. You can delete this small text, double click and clear the content. App. Now let's add an arrow to highlight where the viewer needs to click. To do this, we'll play the video, and wherever it mentions clicking somewhere, we'll pause and highlight it. The more we pass time. Here would be the first location. We add the arrow to a track above the video. The red. Adjust the size. A to give. And position it pointing where we want. Now, we'll do this as many times as necessary. We can also highlight important things like pieces of information. Now, I'm going to speed up the video so the class doesn't get too long. But now I'm seeing all the sides. I can't believe it's true. I'm just surprised. D. Have been I and well, that's it. Remember to add the end screens on YouTube when you're publishing the video. As you may have noticed, editing this type of video is very, very simple. Even those who have no knowledge of video editing can do it if they try. And if needed, remember there's an ocean of tutorial on YouTube to get you going. 24. The Right Length For A Search-Based Video: Hello, in this class, we're going to talk about whether there is a correct length for videos on search based channels. The quick answer is no, there really isn't one. Most of these videos are 1-2 minutes long, depending on how many steps there are, in the tutorial, they can be a bit longer. If you have different solutions for the same topic, a video might last around 8 minutes and there's nothing wrong with that. It also doesn't have any effect on SEO. What it does affect is that if you create a two minute video on a topic like how to create a YouTube channel. There's another video on the same topic with similar SEO, but it lasts 8 minutes. Depending on the audience retention percentage, there's a higher chance that the eight minute video will rank better. If both videos have a 50% retention rate, it means the two minute video retains the audience for an average of 1 minute while the eight minute video retains the audience for an average of 4 minutes. Tube will favor the video that keeps people on the platform longer. There's no doubt about that and it will never change. But then why do most of these channels create such short videos? Because production costs are lower and because most people, including myself, prefer to find solutions to their problems in 2 minutes rather than eight. Time is finite and people seek answers as quickly as possible. So we could say there's no magic length for these types of videos. But we can tell you that the best practice is to create a combination of short and long videos so that you don't overlook the advantages that both have to offer. 25. How To Do SEO On A Search-Based Video: Hello. In this class, we're going to learn how to use SEO for our videos. This time we'll go through the process as if we were publishing a video from scratch, so you can see the entire process. We'll start this class from YouTube Studio on our channel. At the same time, I have the YouTube search tool opened in another tab, which will be very helpful in determining which keywords to target. We click on Create and Upload Videos. Now we're going to upload the video we want to publish. As you can see, I've named the video file with the same name as the title we're going to use. This is a good practice because all this information, including the file name of the thumbnail is indexed by YouTube's algorithm. Is it very helpful? Well, I can confirm that, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt. This also speeds up the process since YouTube picks up the file name to use as the video's title. A good practice is to capitalize each word in the title as it makes it easier to read. Let's move on to the research tool and search for terms related to TikTok slide show. Here we can confirm that our chosen title is the most search term, regardless. Let's take a look at how competitive this term is before we publish the video as we don't want to compete with an extraordinary number of channels for the same term. As expected, there are several large channels in the results, but I don't see many exact matches with this term in the titles. Let's reconfirm with the text search. There are only 13 matches, which is excellent, considering that at least four of them are from the VID IQ toolbar. We have our high search volume title with relatively low competition. Now, let's write the description. For this, we need to write something like this. Something that sounds natural, but includes the keyword from the title, and, if possible, three or four related keywords provided by the search tool. This is just a quick sample to give you an idea of how this process works. It's a good idea to mention that if the video has been helpful to the viewer, they should please like and subscribe to your channel. It's also a good practice to include a link directly to your channel to gain more subscribers. Hash tags are somewhat similar to file names. They aren't very helpful, but they also don't hurt. For channels like this, it's difficult to think that users would use any of these hashtags since they are used for trends, not for searches. Nevertheless, it's up to you whether you want to use them or not. Now, let's upload our thumbnail. I'm going to use a rather generic thumbnail that meets the requirements. It has our title written on it, which is important since YouTube reads this, like everything else, indexes it. So it's important that if your full title doesn't fit because it's too long, at least the most important words should be visible in the thumbnail. Allowing viewers to understand what the video is about, just by looking at the thumb nail and reading the title. Regarding this specific thumbnail, I can tell you that the typography isn't the most attractive and the letters are quite small. Later in the course, we'll talk about how thumbnails for this type of channel should be. Remember to mark that this video is not made for children. Here in the tags, you can see that VID IQ gives me three options based on my title and description. To add them quickly, click on the plus sign. If you click refresh, it will offer three more, but it won't provide more than six. Now we need to find the rest of the tags we're going to use. As you can see, we have 500 characters to use of which we've already used 96 with the tags VID IQ provided. Where can we find more tags? Well, there's no better place than the search tool. Once here, all you have to do is copy the terms and paste them into the tag section of your post. Let's do this quickly. The 29 and the fs under what did happened to the last ten? A random win with s. There you go. We're already close to the 500 character limit so we can stop here. Now scroll down to continue publishing. Select the language of the video. In this case, English, and uncheck this box so that your subscribers won't be notified of your new video. As we've mentioned, the chances of the video being of interest to them are very low and can become annoying when you publish 20 videos per week. In the categories, choose how two and style, which is your channels category. You can select this to prevent potentially offensive comments from being automatically published. In this window, you can add n screens and cards. It's a good idea to include content related to the video being watched. The system confirms that there are no copyright issues. Continue. In the visibility section, I recommend not publishing immediately. It's a best practice to schedule the video to be published at least 1 hour later. This gives the algorithm time to understand what the video is about and push it to a more appropriate audience. Of course, getting views by our videos, getting promoted by YouTube is not our goal, but it doesn't hurt. This is the process of publishing an optimized video. A good practice is to add timestamps to the video. Usually we do this if the video is over, 3 minutes long. But you can add them to all videos if you prefer. This is quite useful as it helps with SEO, and timestamps appear in Google search results. Tributing to the discoverability of the video. It's very easy to do. Just remember that the first time stamp should be at zero and subsequent time stamps should be at least 10 seconds apart. In the next class, we'll see how you can multiply the number of videos you produce without increasing production costs. 26. How To Use Your Videos Multiple Times: Come to this class where we're going to teach you how to multiply your video production without increasing your production costs. Does it sound too good to be true? Well, it's true and you're about to see how. This is one of the strategies that on their own can cover the entire value of the course and we're very excited to share it with you. In previous classes, we mentioned that search based channels are incredibly flexible, and now we're going to take advantage of that. Imagine you already have about 40 videos produced. They cost you $2 each to produce, which is a standard amount. The freelancer at some point sent you the edited video. What you need to do to multiply it is to open it in a video, editor, separate the audio from the visuals, and delete the audio. Now, you can use the same video and record a voice over in another language on top of it. Let's assume you speak both Spanish and English. You pay for your videos in English and then edit them by adding the voiceover in Spanish with your own voice. You've gone from having 40 videos with a production cost of $2 each to having 80 videos with an average cost of $1 each. This is only limited by the number of languages you want to use. If you speak three languages, those 40 videos become 120 videos without any extra cost. If, for instance, you only speak one language, you can hire freelancers to create a voiceover in a different language for much less than $2 per video. Depending on the language, I estimate that $0.50 to $1 per voiceover is possible. So Your production cost continues to decrease significantly, but this is not just theory. Allow me to demonstrate that this strategy works. This screenshot is from one of my own channels that I've honestly neglected a bit. But here you can see that the same video duplicated in Spanish is performing well. In fact, it has outperformed the original English version. This is a very powerful strategy, and I hope you can make the most of it. Later on, we'll mention other excellent tips to help you maximize the potential of your search based channel. 27. Increase by 67% the Chances of Gaining a Subscriber: H i. In this lesson, we are going to learn how to get two subscribers out of three viewers that clicked on our channel link. You may think that every viewer that clicks on your Channel link will subscribe, but that's not the case. Most likely, they will take a quick look around and close the tab, or maybe, if we are lucky, they may watch another video. The problem here is the more clicks the user has to make to subscribe, the fewer subscribers you will get. And this rule applies to everything on the Internet from sales, forms, up to subscriptions, everything. This is why Amazon puts a buy now button right on the products listing, so you don't have to go through your shopping cart and then check out to confirm the purchase. Okay. So how do we do this? It's very simple. Met me here on my YouTube studio. I'm on the customization section. But when you just open YouTube Studio, you'll be here on dashboard. The customization part, it's down here. Okay. Now, we need to click on basic info because we are looking for this. Our channels handle. Our handle is a shorter and customizable way to shorten your YouTube channels URL. Now, look at this string of URL down here. It says sub conformation equal one with some symbols. What we need to do is to copy our channels URL and paste it in front of that part. So it will look like this. This means this little string of URL goes at the end of your channels URL. You can also use the URL YouTube gives you by default, but it won't look good. It looks a lot better if you use your customized URL. So what's the difference between your regular channel URL and adding this part to it. The difference is that when a viewer clicks on this modified URL, yes, it will take them to your channel page, but it will show a pop up asking the viewers if they want to subscribe to your channel. And once they get prompted with that, two out of three will say something like, Sure, why not and confirm the subscription. Now, let me show you how it looks. We copy the URL and open an incognito window to try this out. We paste the URL, click Enter, and here you have it. This little box works magic, I will bring you a lot more subscribers, and it's something very easy to implement. Now, all you have to do is to put this link on all your videos, description, channel description, and pinned comments. Sit back and watch how your subscribers count goes up like crazy. See you on the next lesson. 28. How to Use Tags to Know Which Keywords to Target: Hi. Now I want to show you something really cool. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to use the tag section on the details window of your videos. To know what keywords you should target better in your video description. We are here on YouTube studio in the content section. Let's open a video to use as an example. We can use this one. You may think you should click on Analytics to improve your video SEO, but we are going to click on the edit button. For this, you need to have installed IDC's extension. You don't need a premium account to use the video tax feature. This feature comes with the free version of it. Once the page loads up, what we need to do is to scroll down until we find the tag section. Here we can see the information we are looking for didn't load up, so we'll need to reload the page. Let's give it a chance for the extension to load up completely. And we scroll down again, and here you have it. Here you can see some numbers in each tag. These numbers are the position you are ranking for on those specific keywords. If you take a closer look, you can see I'm well positioned on the keywords, including the word login. This is because that word is the one I'm using on the title of the video. But there are other keywords people could be searching for, that could mean the same. Using the word ad instead of login would mean almost the same thing in the context of this video. But you can see for this keyword, my ranking is not that good, the same goes to create, open, use, and make. So how can we improve our SEO? Well, now we know for which keywords, we should be making an extra effort. So to check if those keywords have been targeted in our video description, we need to copy that keyword. Now, we open the fine function using control F or command F. If you are in a MAC. You can see we already have this keyword in the description, so we can do two things, leave it alone and let the algorithm pick it up eventually, or add it a second time hoping to expedite the effect. Just remember not to pollute your videos descriptions with keywords. The description should always sound natural. This one I'm going to let it stay like that. Let's find another one. We copy it and paste it in the find function. This only shows one result, meaning this keyword is only in the tag section. It hasn't been mentioned in the description. Every time you open a tag, it will show a second number. Don't pay too much attention to it. The first one is usually pretty accurate. Now what we need to do is adding this missing keyword in the description in a way it reads natural. We can write something like this. What do you think? This is how you know which tags you should be targeting. Remember that oftentimes your video will be ranking for many long tail keywords related to your video, even if you haven't mentioned those keywords in your description. But when you are not, it doesn't hurt to give the algorithm an extra reason to rank you a little or better in those keywords. See you soon. 29. How To Create AdSense Account: Let's see how to create a Google AdSens account, which is what you are going to use to get paid on YouTube. We can simply search for AdSens on Google and click on the first option. Click on Sign Up and choose a Gmail account. On your site, we're going to select, I don't have a site yet. I don't want to keep getting ads and emails because we're going to use this ASNs account just for YouTube. If you are getting paid for showing ads on your website or mobile app, it would be a good idea to receive performance suggestions from Google. Now, for your payment country or territory, you need to select the country you live in or at least a country where you can receive a letter, you'll get from Google to verify your identity and address. Take into account you can change the country you selected. If you like to change it, you have to create a completely new absence account. Eventually, you'll need to fill a tax form. Bear in mind that creating an account using your relative's name could play out wrong eventually. You have to use your own real info. That's my advice. For a country, I'll use the US and now you have to agree with the terms of service. Then you can proceed to create your ASNs account. That's pretty much have created your AdSens account. Of course, everything is not so simple, especially when you are dealing with payments and in some cases, international payments. Now, you'll need to fill up some forms about you here where it says that it's about you and connect your site to AdSens, you don't need to put anything because we're going to use it for YouTube. On the left side, ads is for the ads running on your website. Site is for managing your sites. You have connected to your ACENs account. We're not going to use any of these. But down here, you are going to see the payments menu. Here's where you're going to add your info and your bank account in order to get paid. And verification check is usually the tricky part. Or at least it is for people living in countries with a poor mail service. Why? Because once you have filled up all your info correctly and you hit the $100 threshold, they are going to send you a letter with a pin to verify its you and also your address. If you don't complete this step, you won't get paid. It's that simple. Now let me show you the ASMs account. I'm using for this specific YouTube channel. As you can see, I didn't connect any side to it. But once you link your YouTube account, this section will come up aces for YouTube. Here you can see my last payment. After the taxes. You can see I have obviously completed my address verification. Now, let's say you have your YouTube channel up and running and you have finally met the YouTube partner program requirements. What you're going to do is to go to YouTube Studio, click on on the left menu, and where it says getting paid, you'll see the option to link up your AdSens account. That's pretty much it. Once you submit your AdSens account, it will take 48 hours to sync and that's it. Every month between the 21st and the 25, you'll get paid as long as you reach the $100 threshold. 30. How to Create Thumbnails for Your Search-Based Videos: Welcome. Now, we are going to take a closer look on how to create thumbnails for our search videos or tutorial videos in case you'd rather call them that. You can see I'm already on my thumbnail template file on Photoshop. Remember, you can use Canva as well, but I'm more familiar with photoshop. You can see here I have my titles. A ornaments folder where I keep things like the red arrow, a logos folder where I keep logos from all the different apps I've made videos of This screen folder has two subfolders. One with laptop screens. In case, the video is about a PC software, and one in case the video is for mobile. This one says Personas, which means characters. Spanish is my first language, so sorry about that. This folder has different characters. In case, I'd rather use a person for the thumbnail, instead of a hand holding a cell phone or a laptop. And down here it says fondos, which means backgrounds. The idea is to keep things organized in case you want to change something or try something new. Okay, let's first write our title. Let's make a thumbnail for a video about how to change Instagram password, for example. Let's type that. Now we break the lines to make it fit nicely. You should never use more than three lines because it makes it look more like a paragraph instead of a title. I like to make some words pop with vibrant colors. Let me make visible this text to use this color as a sample. Let's add this color to the most important words in the title. We can select the word change and change the color by sampling this one great, and we can do the same with the word password. Now we can get rid of the little text we use for sampling the color. All right. Now we need to put a screen on our cell phone. Here you can get creative and use images that are relevant. Logos, screenshots of the process, and so on. For example, take a look at these. This one is a reference image to Instagram filters that I found on the Internet. And this one is a reference to finding or recovering your Instagram password. Like I mentioned before, you can also use logos. Give me a second to find them. Well, let's do this the fast way, Let's search by name. We search for Instagram. Here we go. Here you can see, I have several screens related to Instagram. For example. This one is a screenshot of Instagram's login screen. This one could work well, but we can make it even simpler and work with just the Instagram logo. Allow me to find one that looks good. This one is distorted. This one may work, see. We move it to the center of the screen and rotate it so it looks straight. This one seems to have the perspective off. Let's try another one. Okay, this one is unaltered. Looks a little bit weird because it has a shadow. We can leave the white background or we can add a little bit of color like this one. But in this case, I'm going to use the screenshot from the login page now. We need to move the arrow to a position that makes sense. I always use a red arrow, and the simple reason is I use it because the really big search channels use it if they use it is because it works. That's it. This will be the final thumbnail. You may add the logo of the app if you want, for example, over here. But most of the time, simpler is better. Sometimes I feel I put too many things on the thumbnails and they can be confusing for the viewer. So try to not overdo it. In case you are going to make a video about computers, all we need to do is to hide the cell phone and make the laptop visible. You can see it already has a roadblocks related screen, so we are going to use it for the example. We can change the verb to play, or maybe let's use open. And now we write. Ro blocks account. We put the arrow on the right position. Let's change the size. It looks a little too big for this thumbnail. If you want, you can put the logo over here to have a visual aid. Remember the audience for this topic is mostly kids. You can also make it simpler and use a solid color for the thumbnail background or maybe a gradient combination. This is pretty much everything there is about thumbnail creation for search videos. See you on the next lesson by. 31. Check How Your Thumbnail Stands Out Before Publishing Your Video: This point, you already know that your thumbnails are one of the most important parts of your videos because they're crucially related to your videos CTR. How can we be sure we created a thumbnail that stands out in the browser page, has a good contrast, how does it look in different sizes or how does it look over a dark or light fin? All that even before publishing, we can use two websites for this. The first one is called thumbs upb dot TV. Here, you can drop your tunail image to have a clear idea of how it will look in different sizes and films. Example, let's fetch for a thumbnail for this. Let's use this orange one about how to remove cap cut watermark from template. We drag and drop it over the website and here we go. If we scroll down, we can see different sizes of it, home large, home small, sidebar, different sizes for the channel page, how it will look in history, and how it will look in mobile. But this is on the light Mm. According to Google, around 60 or 70% of users prefer the dark thin. We have to be sure the thumbnail looks great in both light and dark thin, at least that is fully readable and not confusing for the users. Toggle this bottom right here and now we can look our thumal in different sizes over the dark thin, which is very helpful. I forgot to write the title. How to remove Capcat Watermark from Temple. Here we go. Now we can see our thumbnail and title in action in different locations of YouTube's platform. Now we're going to another website. This one is called thumbnail checker.com. On this website, we'll be able to see how your thumbnail looks on the brows page. We can even compare up to four different thumbnails and titles at the same time. This time, I'm only going to compare to thumbnails, but the process for three or four is the same. We need to search for Tumails then we can write down the title. To remove cap cod watermark from template, and I'm going to copy the title to use it for the second tamel. Now I'm going to do the same for the other one. Here's another variation of the same topic. For the sake of the title, I'm going to change in template four from template. I pasted in here and make a quick change. Now, we are going to click on Check Your Tunnel. Then this is our thumbnail look like on the browser page amongst other videos. This is a great way to check if your tunail actually stands out from others. We can also check how it will look like on a tablet and also on mobile. But this website is even more powerful. If you click on other videos, you can see you can get why is this so powerful? Because we can put our competitors thumbnails and titles next to ours and check how different they are. Which one looks better or it's easier to read. Let's do that. We go to YouTube and search for this topic, how to remove cap Cod Watermark from Template. So the first one is an ad, so we can forget about it. My video is ranking third for this keyword, which is not bad. Of course, if you're loading your video for the first time, you won't be ranking here. To find your cope editors videos, all you have to do is to copy the URL, so we can download their tunnel. We open the video and copy the URL. Now we can go to this website called YouTube Tunnel grabber.com. We page the URL over here and click on Get Tunnel Image. Once it fetch the image, we can download it. We can now go back to thumbnail checker.com and use Dimage we just download it. Now hover over the thumbnail, you want to change. Now we're going to click on the top left bottom, which is called Tmage. Now we look for thumbnail, we just download it. There we go. Now we go back to the video and copy the title and put it over here. Now a little tip. If we paste the title like you normally would using Control V or right click paste, it will paste retaining YouTube's format of white letters and black background in case you're using the dark fin. To avoid this, you need to right click and use pace without format instead. There we go. Now we go back and do the same with the other video that's above mine. We can copy the URL directly from here, go to thumbnail grabber, download the image. Now let's fetch the title. We can copy from here as well, put it on the browser grid. Now we paste it without format and that's it. Here you can see my two thumbnails and two thumbnails from the competition. The orange one is the simplest and it stands out over the rest. I get it. It's not the best looking one, but we want to grab people's attention, not to create art. I have proof of this thumbnail having a better CDR than the black ones. This is how you can check how your thumbnails will look on YouTube amongst your competitors even before publishing the videos or ranking. Way, you gain a little edge over the competition. Remember, your tunnels are a crucial part of your videos. Don't take them lightly or your videos could face the consequences. You may have the best video about a certain topic, but if no one clicks on it, no one will watch. 32. What Google Sees in Your Thumbnails: How awesome would it be if you could know how YouTube or Google sees your thumbnail? What parts does it recognize or is it capable of reading the text properly? This is important because you know for sure, what information is YouTube indexing from your thumbnail, helping you rank even higher. Well, there is a way to find out, and I'm going to show you you can do it right now. You need to do is to go to this website, cloud google.com slash Vision. As you can see, it says, extract insights from images, documents, and videos. I'm not going to bore you with the technicality and definitely I'm not the right person to explain something like this. What you should know is here, you'll be able to check how Google read your tamals. If we scroll down, you'll find this part. See how computer vision works with your own files. And here's a drag and dropbox for us to upload our images. So we fetch for one of our terminals, let's keep using this one to keep things consistent. There we go. The first thing we see is this tab called face. Google will try to recognize if there are any pass in the images and determine what emotion is being portrayed. In this case, it considers as very likely the face on the image is expressing joy and I agree with it. Other things like different emotions or objects that have been detected are described as very unlikely. The API gave a confidence score of 99% to this result. We can now move to the objects tab and it says it can see a person glasses and two tops. I don't know why it mentions the top or T shirt terms, but that's okay. Let's continue. Now we're moving on to the labels tab. Look at all the labels it could generate from this image, clothing, vision care because the subject has glasses, sleeve, beard, t shirt, and so on. Down here, you can see it recognizes the Tamil has logos in it. Let's keep on moving and go to the next step, which for me is the most important because we can target keywords let's see. First, it reads, remove CAP Code Watermark, and it seems like it mistook the Capcde logo for N person or the sign. Then it continues with in template and then Cap code twice, which got from the logos. Okay, so the location of the logo messed with the interpretation of the sentence. This is a little mistake, but don't too important because you can still see it reads, remove Capcde watermark and in template. Cap cut, which is not that much different from the actual sentence. Word by word, this indexing pretty valid for purpose. Now, the property tab. Here we can see the dominant colors in the thumbnil. It catches everything from the background color to the feature colors, shadows, everything. The last tab shows information about if a panel represents a safety issue like adult content, medical content, violence, et cetera. All these levels are between unlikely and very unlikely, where would you go? That's striking, but with thumbnail that doesn't have a person on it. Let's use. This one The first thing we can see is the phase stab is enabled because it didn't detect a face in the image. It opens directly in the object stab and it recognizes the mobile phone, which is good. I'm guessing the level of confidence is only 76 because the contrast is not the best. On labels, it recognizes the phone, which is pretty big, the phone and variations of the same term like portable communication device or gadget. Moving forward to the next step here is where things get a little scary because the API was not only able to read the Tuchel, of course, but all these little buttons as well. It wasn't very accurate, but it is definitely paying attention. So be careful with what you say on your donnel because even if it's very small, it will read it. On properties, you can see it considers the green on the front to be super dominant, which is what we want to drive people's eyes to those words. If we scroll down, it shows you how the image looks if cropped in different ratio. I don't find that information to be useful, but if you do, please let us know how we can take advantage of that. Lastly, shows our thumbnail to be completely safe. Now you know how YouTube is able to read your thumbnails and what kind of information it can actually get from it. Super useful if you're targeting certain keywords or if you want to know what emotions your thumbnail is portrayed in case of showing a human face. 33. A/B Testing Thumbnails To Improve Your Video’s CTR: Hi, I'm not sure if you noticed, but a few months ago, YouTube enable AB testing for tunnels and that's a game changer because now you don't need to guess which tugnail will perform better or to put your video at risk because you think a video that's already doing well could do better if you change the tunnil. Maybe you see your video has a 7% CDR and you think you can push it to a 9% with a different tugnail. Now you can compare your tunils directly in and let the algorithm pick the best performing thumbnail for your video. Before this, there was T body which had this feature in their paid subscription. But now you can do it for free, and there's no better place to get data about YouTube, the YouTube itself. So how do we do that? We need to go to the content menu and search for the video we want to make an AB test about. I'm looking for a video that has a few thumbs variations. Here it is, we click and edit and we scroll down until we find the thumbnail. If we hover over the thumbnail and click on the three dots, you'll see this Option code, test and compare. Click on it, and as you can see, we can upload up to three thumbnails for the test. One would be the thumbnail you are already using and now we need to upload the other two. I have them right here. This is the one I'm using in another variation of this video. And here's the third one. A really old and vi tunnel, but it will work for the sake of this lesson. We click on done, and now as you can see it down here, it says the test will start once we click and save the changes. We do exactly that, and now we are able to open the test report window. Of course, there's no data here because the test just started, but at least you can read it says the test would last for 14 days. It's possible for the test to end sooner in case the algorithm considers there's a clear winner before that time. Now let me show you the results of one of these tests. Remember this tunnel I ran a NAV test for this video. We go to the Edi tab and if we click on the three dots on the thumbnail and click on View Test Report, you'll see the orange thumbnail was a clear winner running against the black variation. Like I said before, I had proof the orange thumbnail had a better CDR than the black version. It's not pretty or at least I don't really like it, but it got more watchtshare than the other two. Don't ever change what's working. But now with the AB test feature, we can improve our videos fugnil and CDR without risking the videos performance. 34. Applying YouTube Automation Like A Pro: Welcome to this class where we're going to discuss in more specific detail, how we can apply an automation model to your search based channel. We've touched on this briefly throughout the course. The idea is to hire freelancers to handle the entire editing process so that you can focus on other things while generating passive income. The case of search based channels, this process is much simpler, and you won't need a group of freelancers. One freelancer is sufficient. Given the simplicity of these types of videos, one person can handle recording, editing, and voiceovers at a very economical price. The process is quite straightforward. You need to post a job offer preferably on up work, clearly stating the type of person you're looking to hire, what you expect from them, and how much you're willing to pay. The job offer might look something like this. I am looking for five expert video creators who meet the following criteria. What you have to do, voice over plus. Short edit pay $2 per video, length of video, 1-3 minutes workload, 20 videos per week. Example channel. Here you have to edit this, paste a link to a search based channel. I'd love to hear if you have done similar work before and would appreciate it if you could send me a sample of your work. Are you okay with the price from the description? If not, don't apply. Do you have over 80% job success? If not, don't apply. Have you earned more than $50? If not, don't apply? Thanks. As you can see, it's quite straightforward. The last three questions are included as filters. We want to work with people who already have some experience with these platforms. However, you may receive inquiries from individuals who don't meet these requirements? This doesn't mean you have to dismiss them? If they make a good impression, it's worth communicating with them. As you've noticed, we haven't mentioned thumbnails yet. Thumbnail editing is very straightforward as it can be done using templates. You can do it yourself in a couple of minutes. But if you really don't have the time and want to outsource this part of the work, you can either ask your editor if they can handle thumbnail editing and negotiate a price for it, or you can post another job offer, for which we'll provide a template in the attachments of this class. 20 videos per week is an excellent number. Later, when your channel starts generating income, you could increase the quota for even faster growth. The weekly production cost would be around $40, which is quite manageable. In other channel models, this wouldn't even cover the production cost of a single video. Regarding keyword research, we recommend that you do it yourself. One, because it's an essential part of this business model, and two to keep production costs as low as possible. However, if you want to delegate this task to someone else, it's possible. Upwork, you can find freelancers with expertise in finding good keywords. We'll also provide a template for how such a job offer might look in the attachments. Once you decide to hire the freelancer, it's a good idea to create a Slack account for communication. You can also use WhatsApp, Facebook, or whatever you prefer. But Slack is a solid option because you don't have to share any personal information beyond your e mail. Create a Trell board to keep the entire editing process organized. Later in the course, we'll show you how to use Trello and how to hire freelancers on work. If you've come from our previous course, you've probably noticed that the process of automating a search based channel is quite similar to automating a channel in another Niche, just a bit simpler because you won't have to deal with three or four different freelancers, but rather work with one or a maximum of two. In the next class, we'll discuss the various websites where you can find freelancers. 35. Where To Find Freelancers?: Class, we're going to talk about the various platforms where you can find freelancers to kick start your search based channel. You can actually find freelancers in many ways. You can join editor groups on Facebook, or you can ask your friends if they're willing to do the work. But the most cost effective places are well known platforms like Upwork and Fiver. On these platforms, you'll find a plethora of freelancers from developing countries like India or the Philippines, which is precisely what we're looking for. Since the hiring process for this type of channel is quite straightforward. This time, we won't explain which platform is better for each part of video editing, but rather discuss the platforms themselves. First, let's talk about fiber. This platform is the most well known among the ones we'll mention. On this website, as an employer, you'll have to sift through a large number of posts to find a freelancer you want to work with, which can be a bit tedious. One advantage is that freelancers often showcase their portfolio of previous work on their profiles, allowing you to assess the quality of their work before contacting them. The other hand, there's upwork. On this platform, it's you, the employer, who has to post a job offer, and interested freelancers will apply. This model is much more convenient because you don't have to spend a lot of time searching for a freelancer. You simply create your job offer, wait for about 24 hours, and you'll have a list of people interested in working with you. From there, you can filter which ones you're interested in and which ones you're not, and then proceed to communicate with them. Both platforms use an escrow system in which you, as the employer, make the payment for the service. FAR or upwork confirms to the freelancer that the payment has been made. And the freelancer starts working. Once the work is completed, the freelancer notifies you through the platform that the job is finished and sends it to you. You confirm your satisfaction with the service and the platform releases the payment to the freelancer. This is a very secure way for both parties to work. However, if we had to choose between one platform or another, we would choose upwork due to how convenient the freelancer filtering process is. Then there are other platforms like people per hour and online jobs. Don't hesitate to check them out. People per hour has a model similar to fiver, but is somewhat more expensive. Because it has more freelancers from European countries. Online Jobs has a different charging model. While the three platforms mentioned earlier use an escrow model, Online jobs doesn't charge for each job, but rather charges you as the employer a monthly fee of $69 to allow you to contact freelancers who applied to your job offer. The cost is quite high, but in one month, you can create a folder with information on different freelancers to contact in the future, and cancel your subscription before being charged for a second month. In the next class, we'll discuss how to find the right freelancers for your YouTube channel. We'll go through the entire process of posting a job offer on Trello. See you in the next class. 36. How To Hire A Good Freelancer: Hello, welcome. In this class, we're going to explain how to find the right freelancer for your search based channel. To do this, we will use upwork. Once on the platform and logged in, we proceed to post a job offer by clicking here. On this page, we start the process of creating our job offer. In this section, we choose to create a new job post and select that it's a short term job. Let's continue. Here, we write a title for the job offer. Since we're looking for someone to edit videos for YouTube, we'll write YouTube video editor. Now we need to choose a category. This isn't really relevant, and we can choose between video editing and video production. But let's stick with video editing to match the title. Next, we need to select the skills we want freelancers to have when they apply. We can choose up to ten, but three will be sufficient. Let's select video editing, video production, and explainer video. Sounds quite similar to creating tutorial videos. These variables aren't crucial since you can negotiate them directly with the freelancer. You could select these options if you were posting a very specific job, for example, if you needed the editing to be delivered in a specific format, or if a specific software had to be used for editing. Let's continue. Here, we select small, since it's a fairly easy and straightforward job. How long the job would take, let's select less than one month. This isn't really important. If you like the freelancer you find, you can keep re hiring them as many times as you want. For the experience level, let's choose medium because we're looking for experienced freelancers. However, this doesn't prevent workers with little or no experience from applying. It's more of a formality. Is this job, a contract to hire opportunity? We'll select not at this time. Let's continue. Now we start talking about our budget. We choose to speak in terms of project budget rather than an hourly payment. In the project budget section, let's enter $200. Don't worry too much about this. It's more attractive for freelancers to see a budget of $200 rather than $20. Even though this like the experience level is more of a formality. This is the description of our job offer. Here is where we'll paste the job offer template that you can download from the attachment section of the class from two lessons ago. Remember to add the link to the channel you want to use as an example. If everything looks good, click on Review Job post. This page serves as a preview of the job offer and also allows us to add a couple more filters. In this part, I recommend adding some screening questions like describe your recent experience with similar projects, and perhaps this one too. Describe your typical design process and methods. What's the purpose of these questions? They help determine if the freelancer paid attention to the job offer or if they're just applying to various offers almost automatically. If they answer these questions, it means they took the time to read the job offer, and that's what we're looking for. People who pay attention to what we say. So we're ready and we click on post this job. This page shows that our job offer has been successfully posted. Now, let's see what it looks like when you receive applications for the job you posted. Obviously, the screen we're going to see is from a job offer I posted some time ago. It's not the one we just posted. Here, you can see the different freelancers who applied to our job offer. Let's take a look. We have Abubakar from Nigeria. He has a lot of skills, but few of them apply to video editing. Most are focused on design. He also has no experience on the platform. Let's see what else we have. George from Indonesia didn't bother to write anything. So we can deduce that he's a bit lazy. Malana from Indonesia has many skills, but no experience on the platform. Paik from Pakistan caught my attention. His skills are all related to video editing. He has experience on the platform, earning over $400, and the most striking is the 100% job success badge. If we read his cover letter, he mentions that he agrees with the price per video. I think we may have found our freelancer. Nevertheless, let's check the other two remaining freelancers. Aliana seems somewhat lazy as well, and Daniel has no experience on the platform. This isn't a big problem, but what caught my attention more is that he's from Israel. I'm not very sure if $2 per video will be enough. However, you could ask him about it. This time, let's focus on Paque who seems to meet all the requirements. We can see that he took the trouble to add examples of edits he has done before, which is a plus because it saves us time. On this page, you'll find a chat through which you can communicate with the freelancer before hiring them. Through this chat, you can clarify all the points of the contract, such as payment, delivery dates, the amount of work, and so on. Here's the example video. Let's take a look. Here's a guys this Mick. Today, I am going to show you Holgan Media, which is one of the best ad networks to monetize with. So basically, you can monetize your sites by putting ads and generate a good amount of revenue from it. Holgan Media is a very good alternative to Google AdSens Yes, it's certainly quite similar. This is a review and not a guide, but they are not so different. His accent is very good and he's quite understandable. This is important because you can't upload videos in which the narrator has an unintelligible accent or very poor diction. In your case, it would be a good idea to watch the entire video, but we won't do that now to keep the class from becoming too long. If you're satisfied with what you see, you can click on Hire and proceed to make the deposit. This is the pre hiring page. The part that really matters is this selection here. Make sure to choose to deposit a smaller amount for the first milestone. That way, we can pay our freelancer week by week based on the work they deliver. Here, we give a name to the milestone and choose the delivery date, which should be seven days from the agreed upon start date with the freelancer. If we're going to create 20 videos at a cost of $2 each, we select a deposit of $40. This would be the entire hiring and freelancer selection process. If we click on Continue, the platform will ask for our details to make the Escrow payment. In the next class, we'll discuss in more detail how much you should pay freelancers for this type of work. 37. How Much To Pay For Your Videos: Much should you pay freelancers for editing this type of video? Well, we've mentioned it several times throughout this course, but in this class, we'll be a bit more specific. What we pay freelancers for this type of video is $2 per video, which includes recording, editing, and voiceover. As you already know, it's quite affordable due to the simplicity of these videos. You can consider the rest of the publishing process like add ons to a burger. If you want them to create thumbnails with a template, you can offer $0.50 for that. If you want them to do keyword research for you, you can offer between $0.50 and $1 for each high quality keyword. If you want them to publish the videos for you while doing SEO, you can offer them $0.50 per upload. It's really economical to start in this type of channel. However, our recommendation is that you take care of at least the publishing and keyword research yourself because it can be quite sensitive. There's not much more to say on this topic. One thing that comes to mind is that if you're happy with your freelancer and can afford it, you can ask if they can produce more videos per week without compromising quality. You could even use the number of videos as a negotiation point. If you guarantee a high number of videos per week, the freelancer may be willing to negotiate. But from my experience, if you're getting a product you're happy with for $2 per video, it's not worth trying to negotiate the price. It's better for both parties to remain happy for a lasting working relationship. In the next class, we'll see how we can use the Trello platform to streamline the process. 38. How To Put Your Production Process On Wheels: Come to this class, where we're going to see how we can streamline our search based channel business. We already know where to find freelancers, how much to pay them, and what to look for to determine if they fit our business or not. Now, let's see how to manage them. For this, we'll use the Trello platform because it allows us to be explicit with freelancers about what they need to do. Also enables us to track the production process and identify any issues that may arise. To get started, we need to create a new board on Trello. You can visit trello.com, and if you've never used the platform before, you'll need to sign up, which is free. There is a premium version of Trello, but we won't need it for our purposes. Once you're logged in, you'll see the Trello dashboard. Let's create a new board. Select a name and a background image. In this case, we'll call it YouTube search course. Choose the background and click Create. This is our newly created board where we'll manage our search based channel business. The first thing we need to do here is create a workflow using lists. Let's proceed to create those lists. Our first list will be called video Topics. In this list, we'll place the different video topics we want to create. The next list will be doing this list, the freelancer will place the videos they are currently working on. The next list is done. The freelancer will move videos here when they've created them and provide a download link for you to review. The next list is approved. In this list, you'll move videos from the De list that meet your expectations and are ready for publication. Need fixing is the list where you'll place videos that the freelancer move to done, but you believe require some adjustments. Can't create is the list where the freelancer will move videos they are unable to create. Can happen, for example, if the video needs to be made with an iPhone and the freelancer only has an android phone. The last list we'll create is for us, it will serve as a visual control within our Trello board to track which videos we've already published. Now, let's create some cards to demonstrate the process. Create three cards with each card representing a video topic you want to create. For each topic, you should include instructions on how you want the video. And provide a link to a reference video that the freelancer will replicate. To do this, click on the card, write the instructions, and add the link to the reference video. If you like, you can also set a due date so that Trello sends an e mail reminder to the freelancer to complete the task before the selected date. The freelancer will see the video topics and move the ones they'll start working on to the doing list. Once they've finished the video, they'll move it to the De list and provide a download link for your review. This can be done using services like Google Cloud, We transfer, or any file sharing service you've agreed upon. If you're satisfied with the video, you'll move it to the approved list. If the video needs adjustments, you'll move it to the need fixing list. In this case, it's a good practice to open the card for that video. Describe what needs fixing in the comments, and add a red label for visual support. Once the freelancer has made the necessary adjustments, they should notify in the cards comments that the problem has been resolved and change the red label to a different color. If you like the video as it is and proceed to publish it, you can move it to the uploaded list. There may be instances where certain videos can't be created. In such cases, the freelancer should move the card for that video to the can't create list and provide the reason in the comments. You can then discuss with the freelancer whether there's a solution or if you need to find a replacement. This is how Trello is used to have complete control over video production. As you can see, this platform provides a visual understanding of the production process, a place to access video downloads, and a point of contact with the freelancer in case any issues arise. Of course, Trello is not a chat application. If you need to chat with your freelancer instead of leaving a simple comment, it's better to use messaging software like Whatsapp or Slack. The members section, you can add the Freelancer to your Trello board. Click on Share, and in the small window, you have two options. Create a link to access the board or directly add the Freelancers e mail to grant them access to the board. This is essentially all we need to know to use this platform and manage our search based channel as a business. 39. Breaking Down High Converting Thumbnails: Hello. In this class, we're going to see how we can create thumbnails with the high CTR. Click through rate. This strategy doesn't differ much from what we covered in the first course, which involves taking a look at the thumbnails of competitor videos. However, this time, we're not just looking at any channels. We're examining the type of thumbnails created by top channels in the search niche. Since we already know the names of some of the most successful channels in this niche, let's start by reviewing them. We'll begin with Trevornas. Navigate to the videos tab, and immediately, you can see that he uses the typical image of a hand holding a mobile phone. There's a significant contrast between the color of the text and the background. We zoom out a bit to get a clear idea of whether Trevor uses the same type of thumbnail or changes it depending on the topic. We can see that Trevor indeed follows a strict template. The reason a channel as large as he uses the same thumbnail is that he has conducted tests in the past, and this thumbnail style resulted in the highest CTR. He changes the colors depending on the app he's discussing and also updates the image on the phone screen. But overall, the thumbnails are all quite similar. Now let's move on to another channel Guide Rem. We followed the same process. In this case, you can see a significant difference. The channel owner often use their face in most thumbnails. They typically use light colored backgrounds, and the text is white with a shadow for readability. If we zoom out, you'll notice that the thumbnails are quite similar overall. Next, let's review gulging gadgets. It appears they also use light colored backgrounds, but the text is black for legibility. The mobile phone image is common. Zooming out, you can see that this channel has more thumbnail diversity than the previous two channels. But the differences are not substantial. Now, let's look at one last channel, how finity. These thumbnails are a bit more elaborate, sometimes bordering on being a bit saturated for my taste. However, it's clear that they put a significant effort to create them. Zooming out, you can notice that several videos seem to be created with a template, especially those where a person is pointing to their left shoulder. The rest vary more. Let's search for one more channel, which I didn't initially recall. But since we've been investigating throughout the course, let's examine their thumbnails more closely. Apple guy. You can see that they use the same style of thumbnails as most of these channels as expected. The difference is that they use an image of artificial grass as a background, which is consistent with the background in their videos, forming part of their branding. They place a red background behind the most important words to highlight them. If we zoom out, you can see that their thumbnails are incredibly consistent. They seem committed to this thumbnail template, suggesting that it has worked well for them. Now, I'm going to show you the thumbnail panels of these five channels, so you can identify recurring patterns. I'll display each panel for 2 seconds. You can pause the video to review them more closely. What did you notice? I observed the following. One. All thumbnails use sufficiently large letters to ensure readability, even at a small size. There's significant contrast between the text and the background to enhance legibility. Two, the image of the mobile phone serves as a character in the thumbnail. It's important to use either a mobile phone or a person as the character in the image. T, you should include the logo of the software you're discussing in the video. Four. On consistent element across all channels is the use of arrows. There must be a reason behind this. Remember, these channels have been publishing for years and have thousands of active videos. If they all use arrows, it's likely because this small detail helps increase CTR, even if only slightly. Now you know you can use these thumbnails as examples to have someone create a template for you in photoshop or Canva. Or if you have the skills, you can create them yourself. As you can see, these thumbnails are super simple and easy to recreate. There's no need to experiment with different styles when there are channels that have spent years refining this art. 40. What You Should Focus On!: Hello. In this class, we're going to talk about the two most important things you should focus on to rank your videos. Audience retention and click through rate or CTR. We'll try to explain this in the simplest way possible. Audience retention, as the name suggests, is about how much time people spend watching your videos. This is divided into two metrics. Average view duration, which indicates in seconds, how long people typically watch a video, and average percentage viewed, which measures the same thing, but in terms of the percentage of the video watched.'s an example of these metrics from a small search channel. Some say that a 45% or higher average percentage viewed APV is ideal. In this case, you can see that most of the videos with more views have a 50% or higher APV. It's better to aim for that number. The video that says 124% is a short video, which is why it has such a high APV. To achieve a high APV, avoid creating long intros and outros as viewers tend to skip them, which will lower your average. Also, get straight to the point and make sure that every second of the video provides valuable information to the viewer. This reduces the chances of them skipping or closing the video. Of course, it's impossible to offer relevant information every second of a video, no matter how short. But that should be your goal. The longer you keep viewers on the screen, the higher the algorithm will rank you. Having a high APV is crucial. Experiment with different things. Don't stick to just one video model. Try different combinations of colors, placements, frames, pointers, and more. Regarding CTR, it's important to note that even if you use the same thumbnail template, it doesn't guarantee a similar click through rate across all your videos. Here within the same channel and using the same thumbnail template, You can see that one video has a CTR of over 20%, which is excellent, well above average, while another has 5%, which isn't bad, but could be better. Videos with a 7% CTR are already considered good. Remember that you're competing against many videos that are offering almost the same information. This number is considered good. Not excellent but good. The way to achieve this is, as we mentioned in previous classes, to use thumbnails from successful channels as a reference. However, after creating your thumbnail template, don't think you have to stick with it forever. On the contrary, you can make changes and always aim to improve your numbers. If you have a video that has generated little traction after a couple of months of being published, you can use it as a test and change the thumbnail. If you see a positive change in its performance, you can use this same template on other videos that are not performing as desired to confirm that this new thumb nail is attractive to viewers. YouTube is a platform that does not allow AB testing. We have to make direct changes to the videos and see if there is any change in performance. 41. Does Time Of Release Matter?: Hello. In this class, we're going to quickly talk about a topic that often creates confusion among owners of search based channels. Does the publication time matter for this type of channel? No, it really doesn't matter. In this model of channels, the publication time of our videos is not relevant because we don't rely on YouTube's algorithm to give us an initial boost, and we don't expect our subscribers to be waiting for our posts to consume our content? You channel gains some traction, a metric called when your viewers are on YouTube will be enabled. Allowing you to see when people who have interacted with your channel or your subscribers are most active on the platform. This can be quite useful for other channel models, but for search based channels, it's not really relevant because our focus is on how our videos will perform over time. If you look closely, even YouTube states. Published time is not known to directly affect the long term performance of a video. Confirming that in our case, we don't have to worry about the publication time. 42. A New Region for Hiring Highly Competent Freelancers: Come to this lesson where we are going to talk about another region to hire highly competent freelancers? We usually talk about hiring freelancers from Asia, and that's still a great option. But if you are having some troubles, finding the right freelancer, you can try this out. You can see I'm here on work, and I want to show you this job post where I got 25 proposals for the same contract conditions we've mentioned before. As you can see, the job post is in Spanish. I'll leave this job post description as an attachment on this lesson, so don't worry about it. Who are we targeting here? Well, we are looking for freelancers in Latin American countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Chili, Mexico, and many more. We are going to set the post as worldwide because it's simpler. This way, you don't have to select country by country, and there's no chance of a meeting a country. I have to say that I have had very good results working with freelancers from Latin America. This is why I decided to create this lesson. Let's take a complete look at this job post on skills and expertise. You can see I selected these and also added Spanish and Castilian Spanish. You could add English here, if you like, to be sure you'll get freelancers that speak English. But you can be sure that if some of the freelancers that apply to the job post speak English, they will mention it on their profile or list of skills. Remember to set the job post as worldwide. Now, let's take a look at the proposals I got with this job post. We can see people from Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and many more. Even people from Brazil. Let's keep going. This one is from Turkey, which is weird. This is the last one. As you can see, I got proposals from ten different countries. Now you could start looking at their skill list for the ones that speak English. Let's check this one. And this one. This is how you do it. Like I said, you can add English to the list of desired skills and make this process faster. These are a couple of freelancers. I short listed. I exchanged messages with Matias, but we never started working. Now, the one I hired is from Mexico. As you can see here, he mentions he speaks English and works with English to Spanish translations, which is great for us. That's what we're looking for. This is the end of this lesson. I hope you liked it. Try to search for freelancers in Latin America in case you don't find a good fit in Asia. Both regions have highly competent frelancers. It's just a matter of searching until you find the right one. In the next lesson, we are going to see how I managed to get videos for as low as $1.25. See you there. 43. How I’m Creating Videos for $1.25 Each!: Hi. Now I want to show you how I managed to get videos done for $1.25 each. If you're guessing this has something to do with finding freelancers in Latin America, it does. So let me show you how I'm doing it. We are here in work. This is the same job post I showed you before. Remember, you can add English to the list of desired skills for the job post. Now, let's go to the hiring Window. As you know, this freelancer is from Mexico, He obviously speaks Spanish, but he also speaks English. This is relevant for us because now we can get two voiceovers, one in English and one in Spanish, both from the same freelancer. Let me show you how I propose this to the freelancer. Let's open the messages window. We search for him and open the chat. You can see here the last milestone we worked through work. We are still working together, but now I'm paying him directly. The first thing I did, obviously was asking for a video sample and also a sample of him narrating in English. Be I like the samples, I sent him this message. I'm interested. I already have the 20 topics to be made. At the end, I need the videos with the cell phone or PC screens in English, just like the sample you sent me. What do you think if we use the same video narrated in English and you also dub it in Spanish? You would only need to change the title at the beginning from English to Spanish. Nothing else. I can offer you $2.50 per topic. That would be 20 topics which translates to 40 videos, 20 in English and 20 in Spanish for 50 bucks. What do you think? He replies he's okay with that, and we started working right away. Down here you can see the completed milestone, 20 topics, 40 videos for $50. This is how I'm currently paying $1.25 per video. This is great because Spanish videos usually don't have a very low CPM. They are not around the highest paying language, but are not around the lowest paying either. You will see it's easier to rank for Spanish videos because of the competition is lower. Another language you could try as Portuguese. They are a lotless Portuguese speakers in the world, but it is easier to rank the videos in that language. This is how you can lower your cost of video production while increasing the number of videos published at the same time. If you're wondering if YouTube could penalize you for reusing the same video multiple times, the answer is no. A video in a different language is considered a completely different video, even if the footage is the same. Good luck making use of this strategy. See you soon. 44. Trial And Error: He. In this class, we're going to talk about the bread and butter of YouTube channel owners, which is trial and error. You don't have to overthink everything when making decisions related to your YouTube journey. This is a fairly forgiving platform that allows us to make corrections and keep improving, as well as testing any theories you might have about whether something can work or not. You shouldn't feel bad if your videos have a low CTR. What you should do is create a new thumbnail that performs better. If your videos have a low APV, you know you need to make corrections and you can get to work on it. This is something that happens to all channel owners. Even Mr. Best constantly tests and experiments to achieve the best results. In fact, he's so good at it that this is how he achieved unprecedented success on the platform. The fact that something on your channel isn't performing as expected doesn't mean you've failed. It means you've learned that something doesn't work and you just need to find a solution. This will happen with topics, thumbnails, descriptions, titles, video editing, and more. You just need to keep an eye on the metrics and remember to give your videos time to unleash their potential. A couple of months is a good period during which a channel starts to be considered by the algorithm. But this isn't always the case. Sometimes after three months of minimal activity, the algorithm decides to pick up a video and rank it for no apparent reason. If you publish a video and it doesn't perform as expected in the first 15 days, take a deep breath and give it a real chance. 45. When And How to Remake Your Videos: Hi. Now let me show you something you may not know you can do remaking or duplicating videos. We have two different scenarios for this strategy. Let's go with the first one, which is when a video that you have ranked didn't. I'm here on YouTube studio. Let me quickly go to my content page. I already have in mind the video I'm going to use as reference. Here it is, how to remove Capcde watermark in templk. But I want to be able to compare them, so let me search for both of these videos. Sorry, on the search bar, we won't be able to see the stats, so let's use the filter option. Here we are. You can see both videos have the same thumbnail and both videos have pretty much the same title. The only difference is in the 01 title in which I added something like full guide at the end or something. You can see these videos were published a year apart from each other. The 01 only got 275 views in a year and four months. But the new one has 2,441 views and count in four months. What makes one video to work out and the other one to never make it? Well, you can see the video is almost 2 minutes long and the new one is less than 1 minute long. I cut donecessary scenes and made the video to have a more interesting pace. This made the new video to be appreciated more by the audience and to have a better APB. I also added a background to the new one. Even though the AVD is lower 25 seconds against 39 seconds on the old one, the algorithm considers the new video is better for the audience. You can see the new video got 62 views in the last 48 hours and the one got none. It's just that. The other reason in which you can create a duplicate video is because it worked very well. What's the strategy here? Well, we will try to make something like the cereal brand Kak does on the supermarket shelf to put so many different cereals that some people may think they come from different competitors when they are owned by the same company. We will try to make the same, but with YouTube videos, if you can rank two or three videos for the same keywords, you'll be getting a lot more views than just ranking a video on the top position. Let me show you how I've done this. I filter the word clips and you can see here the two videos on the bottom. One is 100,000 plus views. The other one almost got 350,000 views, both targeting pretty much the same keywords. I tried it again with another video, but it hasn't worked out really well with the third video. Let's try changing the title a little bit. Let's change get for fine movie clips and hopefully, help. Well, with this video idea, I knew it would turn out to be great. It was a perfect mix of a high volume keyword, together with competitors not offering exactly what the viewers wanted. In top of that, you can add, I found a very convenient solution. That's why the first two videos were published just 21 days from each other. Got a good response from the very beginning. See you soon. 46. Should You Buy A Monetized Channel Or Start Fresh?: In this class, we're going to discuss a rather interesting topic. Is it worth buying a monetized channel, or is it better to start with a completely new channel? This time we'll provide our perspective, but there may be differing opinions. That's perfectly fine. If you have the financial capacity to purchase a monetized channel from a reputable source, go for it. A monetized channel already has a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time, which gives it a certain level of authority when it comes to ranking. This means your videos will have a bit more initial exposure compared to a completely new channel. At the same time, even though you're just starting, you'll receive some income from YouTube, so it won't all be expenses. There's a great motivational effect in seeing your channel generate more income month by month. Some people argue that buying a monetized channel negatively affects how the algorithm recognizes your channel and whom to recommend your videos to, especially if there's a change in the content being published. This is true and applies to channels in other niches. However, for search based channels, it's different because our source of views comes from search results, not recommendations. This is another advantage for search based channels, compared to those in other niches. If you don't have the financial means to buy an already monetized channel, don't worry. Start your channel from scratch and grow gradually. Later in the class, we'll show you a strategy to gain subscribers more quickly than usual. 47. Where To Buy A Monetized Channel: Welcome to this class, where we're going to mention, where you can buy monetized YouTube channels. I want to clarify that I am not affiliated in any way with the platform we're going to mention. We're only using it as an example for this class to give you a clearer idea of what to pay attention to when looking to buy a channel. This platform is called famwap.com, which is a marketplace where you can buy and sell TikTok accounts, Instagram accounts, and YouTube channels. Using this platform has a reference because it offers certain levels of security that while not guaranteeing that you won't be scammed, significantly reduce the chances of that happening. Remember that buying something online always carries a risk. You need to be very cautious. The first thing you'll need to do to review Fame swap is to register as without this, you won't be able to see the prices at which the channels are being sold. The main page where some accounts from different platforms are promoted. In our case, we'll scroll down and click on Browse A Listings. Once here, select the YouTube tab, which is what interests us. Now, I should mention that before recording this, I had already taken a look to avoid too much wandering and I already have two channels in mind that we'll use as examples. Once you've loaded the YouTube channel filter, it's a good idea to look for channels that are willing to use the Escrow service for the protection of both parties and include the original Google account e mail. This platform also allows the seller to upload an audience metrics report. You can check if the channel fits what you're looking for, if it has potential, et cetera. Let's open this channel from the background in a new tab. It says it has over 61,000 subscribers and is priced at $750. Now, let's go to the second page and open this channel, which has over 51,000 subscribers and is priced at $400. Let's check the listing for the first channel. It says it's in the gaming and entertainment category, willing to offer the Escrow service and provides the original e mail. It also uploaded an audience report. So far, so good. If we read the description, it says the channel has generated over $8,000, so we understand it's monetized. Now, if you notice, we don't know the name of the channel, and to see it, we have to pay a subscription on Fame Swap. But there's a reason I chose this channel as an example, and it's that the channel's name is written in the logo. It says BRX, Music USA. So we can know the channel's name without subscribing. Now let's go to YouTube to see how this channel looks. Here we are on the profile of this channel. As you can see, the logo is the same. The number of subscribers is the same, and the name matches, we're in the right place. First off, I see that it says the channel has no published videos. From my point of view, this is a negative aspect, even if the videos are not about the same topic. Having some videos already published gives authority to the channel. It also raises the question of whether this channel really obtained its subscribers legitimately. There should be some correlation between the number of subscribers and the number of views on the videos. Let's check another important point. In the description, the seller mentioned that the channel had generated over $8,000, so it should be monetized. There's a way we can verify if a channel is monetized without leaving YouTube. To do this, right click on the profile and click on view page source. It will open a page with a lot of code. Don't worry. You don't need to learn code to check if a channel is monetized. Just open the text search function and look for the word monetization. It will highlight this part that says, I monetization enabled, value false? If it says false, the channel is not monetized. If it says true, the channel is monetized. Here we have a channel that has no videos and claims to be monetized when it actually isn't. There are too many red flags to consider making a deal. Now let's look at the other channel. We can read in the logo that the channel's name is reaction insider. In the description, it says the channel will be delivered with the original G mail and the AdSens account with $72 available. It also mentions having over 700 videos published and provides an audience report. I don't see it mentioning that it's willing to use Escrow services, but let's take a look on YouTube. Here we can see that there are almost 800 videos published. They mostly target a Pakistani audience, but that's not relevant for us. Let's check if the channel is actually monetized. Right click and view page source. Open the search function, monetization. Here you can see that this channel is indeed monetized. Which is what we're looking for Excellent. Now let's go back and look at the most popular videos to see if it makes sense for this channel to have over 50,000 subscribers. It has several videos with over 100,000 views. With so many videos published and some relatively successful videos. It seems more reasonable that this channel gained its subscribers legitimately. No way to be sure, but at least it looks better. These are some of the things you should consider when buying a YouTube channel. Feel free to use other platforms to purchase your channel. There are discord and Facebook groups where you can also inquire about available channels. We are not sellers of YouTube channels, and we don't have extensive knowledge to guide you through the steps to buy a YouTube channel without risk. However, we can at least guide you on what to pay attention to in order to reduce that risk. In the next class, we'll talk about a text to speech service that allows you to use your own voice for your videos in different languages. 48. Text-To-Speech Service That Works Wonders: Hello. In this class, we're going to talk about a high quality platform that allows you to duplicate your voice to create voiceovers in different languages. It's called 11 abs, and we mentioned it in the previous course. This is a platform that offers very high quality text to speech services, and the voices sound very natural. This is the voice section, and you can see that I have my voice cloned here. In the voices section, you'll find a wide variety of both male and female voices with tags to help you quickly find a voice that suits the content you want to create. This tab here allows you to select from three different creation models. As you can see, version two allows you to create voiceovers in all these languages, which is fantastic. Now, let's talk about what, in my opinion, is the best feature of 11 labs, voice cloning. This feature is called voice lab. To create your own voice, you need to be on a paid subscription. It can be the economical version that costs only $5 per month, and the first month is just $1. We are not affiliated with this website, and we don't gain anything from promoting it. We mention it because we believe it can be useful to you, especially if your English is not very fluent, or if you want to create videos in other languages without hiring a freelancer. Cloning process is quite simple. You just need to upload a 1 minute audio of your voice speaking in the language you desire. It doesn't matter if your pronunciation isn't perfect. 11 labs takes care of the details. If you want to try other platforms, go ahead, but this is our favorite because it allows us to use our own voice to narrate in different languages. 49. How To Find High CPM Keywords For Your Videos: Welcome. We're finally going to talk about how we can find high RPM video topics that allow us to generate a good amount of money without needing thousands and thousands of views to earn a substantial income. First, let's quickly mention how YouTube ads work. Some companies decide to automatically bid a certain amount of money to display their advertisements on YouTube videos related to specific keywords. Cost of displaying the advertisement varies depending on the keyword and is measured in CPM or cost per meal. Some keywords have a CPM in cents, while others have a CPM in hundreds of dollars. This strategy is based on creating videos on topics with a high CPM. Let's give you an example. If you create a video about roblox with a $1 CPM and the video gets 3,000 views, it means that this video generated $3. However. If you have a video with a $20 CPM that also gets 3,000 views, it means that this video generated $60. That's a significant difference. How do we find keywords with a high CPM? For this, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of a company that wants to advertise on Google. To do this, we'll use the Google Ads Keyword Planner. This tool allows businesses to create a strategy for which keywords to target and how much it would cost. Once here, click on Discover New keywords. Here, you can select the language of the words you want to search for and the region from where you want to extract information. This can be by country, city, or the entire planet. For this example, we'll choose the United States. To find keywords related to tutorials with a higher CPM, you can search for terms like how to create, how to make, how to do, how to start, or something similar. In the results, focus on three columns. Average monthly searches, top of the page, bid low range, and top of the page, bid high range. The last two columns represent the minimum and maximum cost to appear at the top of Google search results. Remember that Google owns YouTube. This gives us a good idea of the cost of advertising on YouTube. Typically, the CPM for a keyword is lower on YouTube than on the Google browser, but it serves as a reference. Here, you can see two terms with a higher CPM than the rest. How to create a website and how to make a website. Monthly searches aren't the highest, but it's still a decent volume. You can keep scrolling down, paying attention to search volume and CPM until you find something that stands out. If you simply want to see which terms pay the most, you can sort it by clicking on the column title. You'll see terms that have cost up to $900 to appear at the top of the search results. However, the range is large, as the low end has been less than $5. Nevertheless, the search volume is incredibly low, so it's not a topic of interest. Scrolling down, you might find something with slightly higher monthly searches. Here you have one with 3,600 searches, which is still relatively low, but an improvement. The term is how to create a Google business page with a range of over $6 to over $50, which is quite good. Further down, you'll find a term with 4,400 searches, how to create a website for my business with a more specific range between almost $6 and a little over $24. As you can see, most of the terms with a high CPM are related to businesses in one way or another. So let's now search for terms related to this topic. For example, we can search for Excel, Google sheets, Linked in, and website, as these seem to be terms with a high CPM. Here, you can see results with extremely high CPMs, but low volume. This might be due to a typo in Linked in, but this could be a fortunate mistake as the competition for these terms is low, and some of them still get thousands of views per month. With such high CPMs, it's worth trying to target these terms. Another way to use the keyword planner is to search for terms related to a specific niche. Instance, let's search for words related to health. You can search for terms like health, working out, yoga, and nutrition. After the search, look for terms with a good average monthly search volume and a high CPM. This way, you can find topics that generate a good amount of money without needing a large number of views. Now, it's your turn to experiment with the keyword planner and find hundreds of video topics that can generate high earnings without the need for tens of thousands of views. 50. How to Trim an Already Published Video?: Hi. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how you can trim an already published video on YouTube. In case you'd like to get rid of your intro Oro or maybe underperforming bits that aren't relevant for delivering the information to the viewer. Let's start. We are in our YouTube studio, and we need to click on Analytics. And if we click on the Content tab, we will be presented with this. Key moments for the audience, which by default is separated and above typical intros and below typical intros. But you can also check for top moments, spikes, and dips on your audience retention to take a well informed decision regarding trimming, or not your already published videos. In this case, we are going to focus on underperforming intros. Here, you can see this video is retaining only 37% of viewers after the intro. The first 30 seconds of the video are considered by YouTube the intro of your video. So after 30 seconds of running, this video lost 63% of the viewers that clicked on it. Given the fact our videos are super short. The 30 seconds rule for the intro does not fully apply to us, but still it gives us a good reference. What can actually help us in a more precise manner is this chart under the video, which show us exactly where the viewer's retention was lost. Look at this steep slope on the chart. It's definitely within our video intros range. This way we know, this intro is hurting us more than it's helping us. I also like to take a look into DIPs so we can take a look at all these videos and check for one with a very steep slope on the chart. Look at this video on how to translate U DME subtitles. 30% of the audience retention is lost in the intro of the video. And during the outro of the video, we lose around 20% more. This is something we can try to improve because let's be honest. No one actually likes intros and outros on tutorial videos. We as viewers only want the information we are looking for. Let's work with this video. We can click on Go to Analytics to open the videos page, and now we click on editor. Here's where the magic happens. First, let me tell you one thing. If you want to trim off the outro of your video, but you have an end screen on it, you need to get rid of the end screen first, so the system allows you to trim off the outro. So we click on Edit end Screens. We select it. Click on the garbage can. We repeat the process with the other bit of the end screen, and now we need to click on Save. Okay. Once our video is totally clean from n screens, we can click on Trim and cut. Now, we need to search for the part. We want to trim off according to the information presented by YouTube's analytics. But we also need to trim it in a part that makes sense for the viewer. A good idea is to open the videos analytics and look for the time frame that is hurting our viewer's retention. Here you can see the slope happens within the first 3 seconds of the video, and then it stabilizes. We can also click on play to check what's happening during this time frame. Let's click on play. How to translate U to me subtitles. Okay. First of all, As you can see, it's exactly the intro. This intro is making me lose 30% audience retention, and that's not ideal at all. Now, we go to the editor tab and search for the intro part. Let's click on Play. How to translate to me subtitles. Okay. Okay, so we can get rid of all this, including the bit. Let's move this limit up to where we find it necessary. Let's try again. First of all, I need to get this extension here. That looks good. Now, let's take a look at the outro. We go back to analytics and take a look. Seems like we start losing people around here. The 1 minute and 12 seconds, mark. Let's click on play. If this video was helpful, be sure to leave alike and subscribe. Did you hear that? That's exactly the outro. As we suspected, we are losing viewers retention at the intro and the outro, and that is affecting our videos performance. We go back to the editor again and look for the most convenient part to trim off the outro. Once you found the part, you want to trim. All you have to do is to click on Save. This box will pop up asking you to confirm if you want to trim the video because once the video is trimmed, you can revert it. You would have to re upload the video and lose all the views, comments, likes, authority, rank, everything. So don't take this lightly. We confirm it, and now we need to wait. It usually takes around 5 minutes to trim the video, but I will speed up the process. Here's our trimmed video. Let's check it out. Here's the intro. Well, we need to get this extension here. The video CC translator. Awesome. Here's the Outro. And there you go. That's how you translate subtitles in toy. Perfect. In case you'd like to cut apart in the middle of the video, what you need to do is to click on Trim and Cut. And click on New Cut. When you do that, these two red marks will appear. These are the limits of your cut. Everything in the middle between these two red marks will be cut off if you click on Save. Let's try it. We can put the cut marks around here. And if we click on Play, this happens. Okay. Once the extension is added, now to pin it to the search bar, you click here. As you can see, the video is skipping the part between the red marks. If you would actually cut this part off, you would have to click on the checkmark and then click on Save. Of course, I won't do that because there's no need. But now you have a clear idea on how to do it, and that's it. As you can see, this is a very simple process, a useful process because for this type of videos, the viewer doesn't want to be greeted. They just want the information they are looking for, and that's the truth. See you on the next lesson. 51. Making The Search Bar Your New Best Friend: In this class, we're going to take a look on how to use YouTube's search bar to find video topics in a more efficient way. I know using the search bar can be annoying because it doesn't let you copy the suggestions. Can only click on that. And if you do, it will take you directly to results while losing other suggestions, that may have got your interest. So let's start writing something on the search bar. I want to show you that using underscore on your search term still works for getting feeling words within a term you are researching. For example, let's write how to Instagram. If we put the underscore here, the search bar will suggest some search terms replacing the underscore with words. In this case, I got the feeling words right away. But you don't get them, remember to add a space after the underscore, and it should work just like this. Now let's add the word delete right here. Even if we get some results, let's delete and write again the underscore. To be sure, the search bar understands what we want. Okay. Let's say we're interested in a few terms from the suggestions, like how to delete draft wheels and Instagram. To be able to copy this term, we click right here on report predictions. Don't worry. Nothing but will happen. But now from this list, we can do this. We can copy them, open a new YouTube tab. And take a look at it. You do your due diligence like we told you earlier. You decide if the term is worth pursuing or not. And you can go back to the prior tab and copy the other term that caught your attention and repeat the process. You can get even more specific with your research and look for suggestions related to this new term. While keeping your original suggestions list for further reference or maybe researching more terms from that specific list. This will make your search by research more organized and faster. 52. Inspiration Tab: Was it Really an Upgrade?: Hi. Now we're going to take a look at the inspiration tap, which is with what YouTube replaced the research tool. Sadly, for some reason, YouTube thought that changing a perfectly useful tool full of precise information for an unorganized tool with a little bit of AI was a good idea. But well, we have to try to make the most out of it. The way to get here is to open YouTube studio, click on analytics and then on inspiration. You'll see something like this. A search bar, a section called, what people are looking for, which sounds like something very useful. Below that, you'll find the new videos to inspire you section, which is a section of new videos that you may use as an inspiration to create a new video. All this information is catered to you, using the videos you have uploaded as a reference. Take a look on what people are looking for. As you can see, even when the name of this section sounds pretty useful. It actually is. You get only 12 suggestions of very generic topics that actually are not healthy. If we go back, we can take a look at new videos to inspire you. Here, most of the videos are related to IPO because I've been uploading some Fone tutorials. But the vast majority of the videos are intended to be trendy rather than search based. Then again, not very useful for a channel like CR. Go back and take a look at this tool search bar and search for something like How to Instagram. If this was the old research tool, we will get the top 30 most search after keywords that included the terms, how to an Instagram. But on the inspiration tool, we get this. This box telling you the interest level, viewers have on the term Instagram. A similar section proposing trendy videos ideas, and even when we use the term how to on the search, it is showing trendy videos ideas. We can refresh this and we get just like title variations of a video about how to use Instagram. In the what people are watching section, you can see three videos related to how you use Instagram. Remember, we didn't search that term. We wanted ideas that included the terms how to and Instagram. But the inspiration tool is stuck with the idea that you have to create a video related to how to use Instagram. Why? Well, my guess is because this keyword has the longest videos that include how to and Instagram. And that's what YouTube wants to keep people on the website for as long as possible. Take a look. And yeah. Most of the videos in this section are longer than the usual search based video. There are some search based videos here, but definitely, this will not help us to find high volume keywords that are not saturated. So let's go back and let's take a look to the section called Tap searches for this topic. This one sounds like something we could use. But then again, the inspiration tool falls short to what the research tool was. We got 11 topics that might be useful, but we don't know which one has the most volume and they are not organized. In fact, I know that the terms how to an Instagram have more than 11 high volume keywords. Then why is the inspiration tool mentioning six low volume topics. Makes no sense to me. But now, let me show you what I think is the most useful part of the inspiration tool. It comes to doing research for se Bach topics. The content gap section. These results are the closer we can get to what the research tool was. But still, the results do not always include all the terms and are not organized by volume. The list is bigger and that's nice, but I would rather use the search bar any day. Another issue is that before we could right click the terms we were interested in and verify if that topic was worth pursuing. But now it will open the term within the inspiration tool. If you would like to search for the topic on YouTube, you will need to select and copy from here, open a new YouTube tap and pat. Making your research process a lot less fluid. So definitely, this was a downgrade, but there isn't something we can do about it. I would recommend you to stick with a search bar which is more organized and it's great for doing research for search based channels. 53. What Topics To Avoid To Keep A Healthy Channel: Hello. Welcome to the last class of this course on search based channels. First of all, congratulations on making it this far. I'm sure that with the knowledge you've acquired, you're more than prepared to start your own channel in this niche. Now, let's talk about the types of videos we should not create to avoid community guideline strikes that could affect our channel. If we receive three strikes for violating YouTube's guidelines, our channel will be permanently closed. It's quite obvious that we should not publish videos, featuring any kind of violence, nudity, explicit content, prohibited substances, or similar topics. Ever, specifically focusing on the topics that could affect us as owners of search based channels. We should avoid the following. One. Avoid topics that teach viewers how to obtain paid products illegally. For example, if you search for how to download Fil moa, you'll find two types of videos. In one, they'll explain how to legitimately download fil moa by purchasing the software. These videos pose no risk. But you'll also find videos that explain how to download a cracked version of fill mora without paying. These videos are at risk of being taken down and can result in a community strike on your channel. The first time, you'll receive a warning, but the second offense will result in a strike. While such channels may receive a significant number of views, it's essential to avoid publishing this type of content. Two. Avoid videos that directly violate YouTube's terms of service. For example, if you search for how to download a video from YouTube to your gallery, which, let's face it. Almost everyone has done at some point. You'll find videos explaining how to download your videos from YouTube studio or how to download third party videos using YouTube premium. However, you'll also find videos like this one that explain how to download third party videos to your phone without being a premium member. You can see the high number of views this video has received. In fact, I posted a video based on this topic and within 15 days, it was taken down and I received a strike. This is why I found it relevant to mention this in a class. You are aware of what topics you can and cannot publish. I'm aware that downloading videos from YouTube goes against the terms of service. But blinded by the high number of views, I didn't make the connection, I forgot, and well, I was penalized. As for how some videos of this kind remain undiscovered for years, I don't know, and I don't want to find out. Even if we were to learn, YouTube is continually updating its detection system. I can assure you that eventually these videos will be taken down. This marks the end of this course on starting an automated search based channel.
