How to make $9,137/month with faceless YouTube Channels [2 HOUR COURSE]

By Eddie Eizner Unfiltered

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Understand YouTube's Business Model**: YouTube's primary goal is to maximize ad revenue by ensuring as many ads as possible are watched. The algorithm is designed to serve this business objective, not to be random. Recognizing this helps creators understand how to align their content with the platform's incentives. [02:49], [03:51] - **Algorithm Prioritization: Niche is King**: YouTube's algorithm prioritizes content based on a hierarchy: channel niche, video topic, title wording, thumbnail, and finally Average View Duration (AVD). Neglecting the niche or topic can severely limit a video's reach, even with a great thumbnail or AVD. [11:14], [11:30] - **Niche Selection Criteria: Age and Volume**: To find a viable niche, target channels that are less than 6 months old and have 15 videos or fewer. Additionally, ensure the niche pool (total videos in the niche) is under 50 to avoid oversaturation and increase your chances of getting views. [15:42], [21:47] - **Title and Thumbnail Synergy**: Your thumbnail and title must work together, allowing viewers to guess the title from the thumbnail and vice versa. The thumbnail's role is to catch the eye, prompting the viewer to read the title, which ultimately drives the click. [06:42], [07:51] - **Maximize AVD Through Pacing**: To achieve a good Average View Duration (AVD), focus on rapid pacing and avoid filler content. For an 8-minute video, aim for at least a 45% AVD, as longer videos with consistent pacing and more ads naturally perform better with YouTube's algorithm. [06:28], [17:07]

This YouTube video is going to be the

most detailed YouTube course you've ever

seen in your life. And before you just

trust me to give you all of this info,

I'll give you my background. My name is

Eddie Eisner. I'm 21 years old and I've

been running YouTube channels for the

past 5 years now. In that time frame,

I've generated over a million on

YouTube. Now, this channel that I'm

showing on screen in the past 90 days

alone has made $4,500.

But what you might have not realized

about this channel is that it is

inactive. Here's another inactive

channel in the last 28 days making 635.

In the last 90 days, made over 2,000.

And although that doesn't seem like a

lot, I haven't uploaded in over a year.

So, this is making $500 to $1,000 a

month just paying for my food for the

month. And keep in mind, these are just

two of my inactive channels, not even

showing my active ones. And just to

show, I'm running a ton of active

channels. I even have a channel I can

show you where today I made over $1,000.

As you can see, this is the latest day.

If I do last 7 days, if I do last 28

days, this is the very latest day. If I

press on settings, as you can see, this

is USD, US dollar. I can press on it,

press close. This is still here. This

channel got monetized September 1st, and

it's been doing between 50 to some days,

you know, $281. 213 here, but it did

over $1,300 today because the channel

just started blowing up. And for

tomorrow, it should be around $1,000 as

well. But now, I'm going to show you my

bank account and my Google AdSense cuz I

just don't care anymore. Now, for

obvious reasons, I have to be very

careful with what I show here, but this

is Google AdSense, as you can see by the

link adsense.google.com.

This is the last month that I've been

paid for, which as you can see here is

$26,77753

from YouTube. And if I switch to summary

view, and then I switch it back to

detailed transaction, you can see I'm

not cutting the video. And this is the

same amount. And it even says amount in

parenthesis USD. And now for the final

little bit of proof. As you can see at

the URL, it is secure.chase.com.

chase.com. If I refresh the page, I'm

not going to cut any of this. Still

secure.chase.com.

Everything is blurred for an obvious

reason, but I'm going to unblur it in

just a sec. Once I get down to that

YouTube payment with the exact amount.

It's going to be on August 21st. And now

I'm going to stop moving. Um, I'm going

to unblur right here. As you can see at

the bottom of the screen, uh, or co

name, Google or I don't really know what

this means, but it's h a credit for the

exact same amount of $26,77753.

Now, let's get into the course. So,

let's get into the YouTube success

strategy. This is going to be the

complete guide to understanding and

beating the algorithm. And in the first

little bit, we're not going to go into

how to create your channel and all that.

There is a lot that you need to actually

learn about YouTube and its algorithm

before you get into doing anything.

Otherwise, you won't know why you're

doing what you're doing. But trust me,

you need to learn this and a lot of

people will not talk about this. The

first thing you need to do is just in

general understand how YouTube thinks.

And what I mean is from a business

perspective. What is YouTube as a

company? How do they make money? things

of that nature. So, the truth is YouTube

makes money primarily through ad

revenue. Just when an ad is watched or

when you watch an ad on YouTube, YouTube

is getting money. So, their goal is

pretty simple. Have as many ads watched

as possible to maximize revenue. And if

we want to be even more specific,

YouTube takes around 50% of every ad

watched. And I'm sure you know some

creators make millions of dollars and

there's like a million creators on

YouTube. So through the millions,

hundreds of millions of dollars in ad

revenue given to every YouTuber, YouTube

is actually making that same amount

because they take 50% of all ads. So

yeah, YouTube makes a lot of money.

Because of this, the algorithm cannot be

random. And you might say, well, why

does this core truth that I've written

here mean that the algorithm cannot be

random? Well, once again, you have to

think about this from a business

perspective. YouTube, of course, has an

algorithm. You can't deny that. But

people like to think that it's random.

This simply cannot be true because if it

was random, YouTube would be leaving how

many ads being watched on their platform

kind of in the air up to a random

algorithm. Now, although this might

work, that's not going to maximize how

much money they're making. And as a

business, their goal is just make as

much money as possible. So, they have a

team of hundreds of people that have

been working for YouTube for many, many

years. They've been around for almost 20

years at this point. So, I promise you,

they're still working on just making

sure that their algorithm is going to

output as many ads as possible. So, the

algorithm literally cannot be random.

Otherwise, this would be the worst

business of all time because they're

just leaving how much money they're

making up in the air. It's really

important to understand this. There is a

0% chance it's random. Now, why is this

important? Well, it's pretty simple. If

there is a set algorithm that isn't

random, that means you, yes, you can

learn it. And if you learn YouTube's

algorithm, you are destined to be a

millionaire. Meaning, if you can really

truly understand all aspects of it. Now,

that sounds far-fetched, but we're going

to get into that. Now, one thing to note

about the algorithm is that

oversaturation is real. If YouTube

already knows viewers will watch a lot

of ads on established creators videos,

why would they risk testing your content

in the same niche? So, let's say there's

10 celebrity news channels. So, anytime

there's news with Mr. Beast or Kaisen or

some big streamer, there's a news

channel for it. If there's already 10

channels in that niche and they've been

around for 1, two, 3 years, YouTube

knows, okay, people like this content,

there's nothing wrong with this content.

people are going to this content and

watching a lot of ads, which is great.

Now, if you as a creator say, "Hey, this

niche is getting a lot of views. Let me

just jump into it without doing any

research on the niche." Guess what?

YouTube will never give you any views at

all. In some cases, you'll literally get

zero impressions, meaning nobody will

even see the video. And sometimes people

think they're shadowbanned when they're

not. It's just because they went into a

super oversaturated niche. Because for

example in that niche, YouTube already

has its 10 established creators who have

been on the platform for so long that

they know, okay, these creators are

going to maximize how many ads are

watched for this type of content. So if

you come in and try celebrity news,

that's just an example. I don't know if

this is oversaturated, but in this

specific example, now that you came in

maybe a year, 2 years after all of these

established creators got established,

YouTube's not going to split test and be

like, "Oh, we're going to take the

viewers from these channels and give it

to a random new channel when they

already know that those established

channels will maximize how much money

they are making." Once again, think

about this from a business perspective.

Once again, like I said, since we know

the algorithm exists and isn't random,

we can learn it, which is what we're

going to do in this video. Now, let's go

over the YouTube push order. Meaning,

how does YouTube push out videos into

the algorithm? Like, when you go on

YouTube and you see a video, why do you

have that video on your recommended?

Now, a lot of people think there's a lot

of different factors, and it's a lot

more simple than you might think, or at

least it can be simply put. And I'll

show you how to put it simply. Number

one, YouTube is going to look at your

title. Number two, YouTube will look at

your thumbnail. And number three,

YouTube will look at your AVD, which is

your watch time. In specific, it means

average viewer duration. So, if you have

a 10-minute video and the average viewer

watches 3 minutes, your AVD is 30%. Now,

why is this important, right? This seems

so simple, just one, two, three, right?

This is important because you need to

understand that if your title is bad,

then nobody's going to see your

thumbnail, right? Because the order is

YouTube takes your title and then based

on your title, we'll decide is this a

good good topic to push into somebody's

recommended. So, if they think so, then

they'll push out the uh video, right?

Because YouTube's not looking at your

thumbnail. How are they going to do

that? This is a algorithm. This is an

algorithm, right? So, they're only

literally only looking at your title.

So, if your title is bad, guess what?

Thumbs down. Nobody's seeing your

thumbnail. Meaning, nobody's clicking on

your thumbnail. So, you're never going

to get an AVD. You're not never going to

get any watch time, right? So, people

talk about, oh, the thumbnail is so

important. Let's focus on a 4-hour video

on the thumbnail. Which the thumbnail is

important, of course, but you got to

realize that if you just put no focus on

the title, which I see a lot of people

on YouTube not mentioning at all, um,

then nobody's even going to see your

thumbnail. So this is the order that

they push it. So first your title needs

to be good. Then people need to click on

your video, right? That your thumbnail

needs to be good. Then your AVD needs to

be good for it to continue getting

watched uh pushed. Sorry. So in order to

rephrase that very simply, if your title

is good, YouTube will recommend it to

people on their page for testing, right?

And then if the clickthrough rate is

good, right? If people are clicking on

the thumbnail, then YouTube's like, "Oh,

people are interested in this title and

thumbnail." So, if you know a lot of

people are clicking on it, then it's

going to move over to the watch time.

And now it's going to see, okay, now

that people are clicking on this

thumbnail, are they watching the video?

And if the answer is no, then it's going

to stop getting views. And this is why

some videos will get like 1 2 3,000

views. It's because, okay, they it, you

know, their title's good, then their

thumbnail's good, but then people don't

end up watching the video. The video has

very low watch time, which is why you

get like some like the test impressions,

then they give more for having a good

thumbnail, and then it stops here. Now,

in order for you to break out, get 10,

20, 30, 100,000 views, a million views.

You need to have all of these be good,

there's no, oh, one of the three can be

good or two of the three can be good.

It's three of the three can be good. And

if not, you're just you're just not

going to get views. But like I said, if

the title isn't good, you're going to

get zero views. If the title is good,

you might get a few hundred views if the

thumbnail is bad. But if the title and

the thumbnail is good, you might get a

few thousand views if the AVD is bad.

But if you have a good title, good

thumbnail, good AVD, then it's just

based on how many people would watch

that type of video. So your view cap is

really unlimited once you meet all three

of these. Now, that was a lot of yap,

but that is really important. Trust me.

And if you're not taking notes, I will

say right here, I guarantee you if you

just have a Google doc or like a

physical notepad, like you know, I have

notebooks for example right here, like I

take notes all the time. Take notes on

this video. Um because I'm going to make

sure this is the best and most in-depth

video that's on YouTube on YouTube

automation. So, critical point, like I

said, just rephrasing, even if you have

the best best video ever created, like

let's say you made an absolute movie, a

cinema, and you had the best thumbnail,

you paid a million dollars for the best

thumbnail artist ever, and this is

regarded as the best video ever and the

best thumbnail ever, ever on planet

Earth, but then you just have a bad

title. Guess what? Zero views. It's

really that serious. So, the title

itself is actually the most important

thing, right? Because if we go

importance order, I put number one as

the title cuz if the title's not good,

you're getting zero views. So the title

consists of two things, which is your

video topic and how you word that video

topic. So really, your title is pretty

much your video topic. How you word it

is of course important for sure, but you

know, how can you come up with a title

without a topic? So really the title is

split into two things. So there's

actually four things here. And before

the title would be video topic, but you

know, YouTube doesn't know your video

topic by using their algorithm. They're

just looking at your title, which is why

I have this written here. But just keep

in mind that this first thing is

actually split up into two parts. Your

video topic and how you word that topic.

So, in order to rephrase that, the most

important thing to get views on YouTube

is going to be your video topic, not the

title, right? Because the title is just

how you word the topic. So, that even

comes before the title. And then the

video topic. Well, how do you get a

video topic, right? It actually splits

even further into your channel niche,

which is the topic of your channel. Are

you doing cooking? Are you doing gaming?

That type of thing. So, how are you,

Right? How are you going to create a

video topic? Like, how are you going to

get a video topic to make a video on if

you don't have a channel niche? So, just

in general on YouTube, the general rule

is you don't want a channel where you

have a cooking video here, a Call of

Duty video here, um you know, a history

video here. If you know anything about

YouTube, which if you don't, this is why

I'm saying this for those that don't,

your channel, the generalized topics of

all of your videos need to be in the

same category. So, if you're doing a

history channel, you best believe all of

your videos are going to be about

history. So in general, the video topic

comes from your channel niche. So this

video topic splits as well. So if we

were to really order this, the most

important thing would be your channel

niche. The second most important thing

would be your video topic. The third

most important thing would be how you

word that topic, aka your title, then

your thumbnail, then your AVD. And

notice how people are always talking

about thumbnail and how to increase your

AVD, when these are actually the least

two important things. Now, keep in mind,

do not take that out of context. Like I

said, everything has to be good to get

views. So, don't be like, "Okay, well,

I'm going to prioritize making sure this

is great." No, just people I I really

wanted to make sure that you understand

this because people just skip how

important the channel niche is. Not

everybody, but a lot of people do. And

then people definitely skip the video

topic and the video title and just skip

straight to thumbnail. It's like you

need to make sure all of those things,

all of those five things are good. So,

like I said, your title, thumbnail, and

AVD should all be good. A good title

gets gives you impressions, but a bad

thumbnail will stop those impressions

from coming in, which impressions just

means how many people will see your

video on the recommended page. And then

a good thumbnail with low AVD will stop

YouTube from giving more impressions. So

just saying everything has to be good.

Niche and subniche strategy. This is

going to be the topic for the next

portion. Now for the niche and subniche

strategy, your niche is going to lead to

your video topic, which leads to your

title, which leads to the thumbnail,

then the AVD. Now, we just went over

that. So, let's go over understanding

niche structure. Every single niche or

channel on YouTube has two segments. The

broad niche and the subniche. So, to put

it simply, broad niche plus subniche

equals a channel niche. So, the broad

niche is going to be a generalized topic

such as basketball, such as Call of

Duty, such as cooking or history. And

the subniche is going to be the specific

focus. For example, if we do basketball

as the broad niche, the subniche would

be highlights. So, your channel niche

would be basketball highlights. And in

this type of channel, yes, every single

video you're going to post is only

basketball highlights. You don't do

basketball highlights, then basketball

news, then basketball documentary. Every

video on the channel would be basketball

highlights. For Call of Duty, there's

tons of, you know, subniches you could

do. You could do like Call of Duty voice

trolling, Call of Duty just gameplay,

like being like, you know, competitive

gameplay, Call of Duty patch notes news.

There's a ton of subniches you could do

inside of a broad niche. Inside of

cooking, you could do cooking tutorials

as your subniche or it could just be

cooking for fun. There's a also a ton of

subniches there. History could be a

broad niche and then the specific

subniche is going to be, you know, the

world. So, your channel niche will be

world history or it could be United

States history or, you know, whatever

history. So, keep in mind any channel

you see on YouTube will always have a

broad niche and a subniche. First thing

you should do is next time you're on

YouTube, just challenge yourself. Try

and figure out if you can understand

what the broad niche is and what the

subniche is. Because once you can do

that, you're going to have a really easy

time finding a niche in the future.

We'll go over how that is important and

how it ties in later as to finding a

niche. But trust me, it's very important

that you could just distinct between the

broad niche and the subniche of any

channel you find. Now, a third term, the

niche pool. What is a niche pool? Well,

the niche pool is the total videos in a

niche. So, let's say we have basketball

highlights as our specific channel niche

where, as I just said, the broad niche

is basketball, subniche is highlights.

So the channel niche is basketball

highlights. So let's say we have the

basketball highlights niche on YouTube.

If three of these basketball highlights

channels have 10 videos each, that means

that there's 30 videos in the niche

pool. So of course there's way more than

three basketball highlights channels on

YouTube. But this is just an example. So

let's say there were exactly three

basketball highlights channels on

YouTube and they each had 10 videos.

Well, 10* 3 is 30. So although yes, each

channel might have 10 videos, in total

there are 30 videos in the niche pool.

And nobody talks about this. Nobody ever

I've never seen anybody talk about this.

So I had to make my own term for it. I

don't think there's another term for it.

So we're going to use niche pool because

I don't know, it sounds cool. And like I

said, correct me if I'm wrong. I've

literally never seen anybody mention

this. And this is insanely important,

which is why it's crazy I've never seen

anybody mention this. Maybe I'm

accidentally like leaking stuff and

people will be mad at me, but this is

important. And as we go through, you

know, the niche stuff, you'll see why

this is important. So, this is pretty

much just identifying what these three

terms mean because we're going to I'm

going to be using them a lot, you know,

uh, in in the coming um, little bit. So,

niche criteria, very important. Why is

this very important? Because this is the

criteria as to how you're going to pick

your niche when you choose a channel.

So, I have two main criteria, and those

criteria are going to be the channel

age, and that's just going to be less

than 6 months old. So check the channel

that you're looking at and check when

their first upload was, not when the

channel was created. I'll just show this

channel for example. If we go to their

videos and sort by oldest, you can see

that this channel is 4 months old. Now,

if this said 6 months, that actually

means it's over 6 months old. So this

should say 5 months ago or less than

that. So 5 4 3 2 1 month ago or a few

weeks ago or a few days ago. Now a lot

of people will tell you to look at the

channel age. So if you go to like more

for example, it tells you that this

channel was created on February 26th,

2022. So this channel was created almost

four years ago at this point, but their

first video is actually 4 months old. So

he just used an age channel. But yeah,

so this channel would work because it's

less than 6 months old. And that's just

criteria number one. Now when I say this

channel would work, I don't mean this is

a good niche. I just mean it meets

criteria number one. because just a

spoiler, this channel does not meet the

criteria being a good niche at this

point because of the other criteria

that's going to limit it. But it passes

criteria number one. So the channel age

is going to matter a lot. So I kind of

have a little chart here. You can, you

know, if you find something in the

middle of this or in the middle of this,

you can guess. But this is a generalized

guide. I just put five different stamps

here. So if it's if you find a channel

that's, you know, five months old, so it

says five months ago, it's possible, but

it's not optimal, right? If you find a

channel that's three months ago, three

months old as their first video, that's

like pretty average. Two months is good.

One month old is great. And if you find

something that's like a week old, that's

S+ tier. A few days old is S triple plus

tier. You know what I mean? Um, and then

you can, you know, figure it out

yourself what 3 weeks would be. Like it

would still it'd be in between S+ tier

and great. So, this is important if

you're taking notes, which you should

be. If you want to be successful, why

are you not taking notes? Um, but yeah,

you should probably write this down.

This little thing I wrote here. Now,

this is another thing I never see

anybody talking about. They just talk

about sometimes they'll talk about

channel age, but even a lot of people

don't talk about that. But this criteria

is just as important as the age of the

channel, 15 videos or less. Because the

more videos there are in your niche, the

more competition there is for the

viewers attention. And this is because

let's say you find a channel and they

have 300 videos, but they're a month

old. I mean, that's a little bit

ridiculous, but just as an example. So

it's like, okay, well then this is in

the great category as for channel age,

but then they have a 100 videos. Meaning

if you were to start the a channel in

the exact same niche, do you know what's

going to happen? Well, let me tell you

what's going to happen. A viewer that's

interested in this content, right?

YouTube has an algorithm to know what a

viewer wants to watch, of course. Um,

but that's not very relevant. What's

important is that the viewer that wants

to watch this type of content, I'll just

use, let's say, NBA highlights again,

basketball highlights. If if a new

channel comes out and has a hundred

videos in a month, so yeah, they're in

the great category for channel age, but

if they have a hundred videos and then

you go and upload your first video, for

example, well, guess what? People that

are interested in basketball highlights

have 100 videos that they could get

recommended before yours, which because

you know, one month old isn't enough

data for YouTube to say a channel's

established and not allow any new

channels to be created. But now the

problem is a viewer will have the option

to see either one of his 100 videos of

the you know your channel competitor or

your one video. So there's a one in 101

chance that your video will be

recommended assuming like it's the exact

same quality as your competitors which

isn't great. And with 15 videos or less

that is completely fine because let's

say a niche has 10 million viewers. If

there's only like 15 videos to watch and

then you put a 16th video out you're

fine. And this is going to work the same

way. The less videos the better. So, if

let's say you find a week old channel

that has three videos that's doing that

are doing good, like that is insanely

good. But I would say that isn't as

strict for this, right? Like 10 videos

is probably the same as 15. You know,

five is probably the same as like, you

know, it doesn't matter that much. As

long as it's like 15 videos or less, I'd

say that's pretty safe. Now, if you want

to know specifically why 6 months plus

is too old is because typically once a

niche is 6 plus months old, that's

around the time between like 6 months

and a year is around the time where

YouTube will start to say, "Hey, this is

an established channel." So, if a

basketball highlights niches out and it

hits the six month, you know, mark,

maybe not exactly on six months, but

maybe seven or eight months in,

YouTube's going to kind of close off

that niche and say, "Okay, we know that

for basketball highlights, if we want

the most amount of ads watched, we're

just going to give it to this guy's

channel." um or if there's multiple

channels, we'll give it to this channel,

this channel, and this channel. Any new

channels, we're not even going to try

testing because we already got our guys

for basketball highlights is pretty much

what they're doing. Now, once you find a

channel that is less than 6 months old

and ideally, you know, as close to, you

know, S+ tier as possible or even

better, and you find a channel that has

15 videos or less, then you found your

niche. But that's where people typically

stop and that's why people typically

fail. So, you should write this down if

you're writing stuff down. And if you're

not writing stuff down, just remember

this, please. You have two ideal targets

once you find your niche. So yes, you

found a niche that meets both criteria,

but now there's something else you have

to do, which is to verify that this

niche isn't oversaturated. Because if we

go back up, remember oversaturation is

real. It's not a myth, guys. So the

ideal targets is in general there should

be five or fewer total channels in the

specific niche. So if it's basketball

highlights, sorry for keep on using it,

but it could be any niche, but I'm just

going to keep using it just to make the

make this consistent. But if there's

five or fewer total channels in the

niche, so let's say we find a channel

that's a month old and it has 12 videos

and it's in the basketball highlights

niche. Great. Now we're going to move on

to this right here, which is like

verifying that the niche isn't

oversaturated. So you found a good niche

and I need to verify is it

oversaturated. So if there's five or

fewer total channels in the specific

niche, you're good. So let's say there's

four. Great. We're we're good. And in

this case, the less the better. I like

to have at least one other channel

besides the competitor because then that

gives us more proof of concept that this

is like a niche that can get views. So

my ideal mark is two in order. I'd

probably give it like two and then is

the ideal and then one and three is

equal then four is worse and five is

worse and anything more that I just

won't even bother doing. So five or

fewer totals in the niche. So let's say

there's four like I said. So we're still

good. But then here, back to the niche

pool. And nobody talks about this, but

this is so so so important. There should

be less than 50 videos in the niche

pool. Now, keep in mind with any of

these numbers, let's say there's like 57

videos in the niche pool or 60, I'm sure

it's fine. But if you're a beginner uh

and you really or just really anybody

and you want like a 95 99% chance of

your video getting view uh your channel

doing well like if you want a 100 like

there's a way that you can have a 100%

chance of your video or of your channel

getting views. Let's say you find a week

old channel that has five videos and

there's two channels and in total

there's like 20 videos in the niche

pool. The odds of you not blowing up is

like I'm being so serious is actually

just 0%. So, but that's like unrealistic

to find something so great. Although

it's happened to me before, but keep in

mind I've been doing this for five

years. So, so less than 50 videos in the

niche pool. So, let's say there's four

channels um in this specific niche. So,

you know, you meet ideal target number

one. Then number two, let's say you're

the channel you're looking at has 12

videos and then the other three

channels, let's say they all have 20. 3

* 20 is 60 plus like the original

channel you found another 12. So, that's

72 videos in the niche pool. That is too

many videos in the niche pool because it

ties back to the same thing. If you

upload your video, now your one video is

competing with the 72 other videos. So

you have a one in 73 chance of a viewer

finding your video. So as long as it's

50 or less, I'd say that's pretty ideal.

So let's say there were four channels

and they each had 12 videos. Then that's

48 videos in the niche pool, then you're

good. So you really got two criteria to

find the niche and then two criteria to

find out if the niche is oversaturated.

Now each have two because they're

equally as important. You need to find a

good niche and you need to make sure

it's oversaturated. If this if all four

aren't correct here because a lot of you

will get lazy and like want to be like,

"Oh, one of these is, you know,

missing." Yeah, just, you know, just do

something else. YouTube is not for you

if you're if you're too lazy to even do

four things here. I'm just being honest,

right? This is a business. People make

millions of dollars a month doing this.

I've made multiple six figures in a

month before doing this. So, please just

listen to my advice. I'm doing this. I'm

giving you guys, you know, some free

advice here. So, just not to be harsh,

but honestly, if if you're too lazy,

then business just is not for you. Or

just do a different business. Now,

common mistakes to avoid. Now, if you

guys don't know, I actually run a

mentorship. But wait, I am not going to

sell you guys that mentorship. Um, right

now, like I have too many students, so I

don't publicly advertise it. So,

genuinely, that might sound like BS, but

I'm not trying to promote that. I I've

been teaching this for over a year

privately. So, with teaching the amount

of people that I've taught, I've

gathered the common mistakes list, which

is actually really good for you because

now I know how to teach people this uh a

little bit better. So, common mistakes

to avoid. The most common mistake I see

is people will look for niches until

they get bored. So, they'll spend three,

four days, you know, maybe an hour a

day, uh, and then they'll be like, you

know, I found five niches that almost

meet this. like they'll find something

that meets the niche criteria, but then

you know there's a 100 videos in the

niche pool or you know they'll find two

of the four here or one of the four here

even sometimes. So the most common

mistake is people will look for four

hours write down these niches which you

shouldn't even be writing down niches if

they don't meet this criteria and the

reason for this is because then you'll

have a big list let's say over like you

do four days an hour a day and you end

up having seven niches to look through

but none of them meet all four of these

criteria here. What's going to end up

happening is you're just going to have a

list of mediocre niches and then these

people end up getting bored um of niche

research and they realize, you know, oh,

you know, I want to put four hours in in

4 days and become a millionaire because

I'll be honest, that's just they're just

a little bit delusional that they don't

realize that it takes work to build a

business. Like, you really want to be

your own boss, work on your own hours,

work from wherever you want, and make up

to six, seven figures a month, and you

want to do it in four hours. I don't

know. I think it's a little bit

delusional, but whatever. But the

problem is going back to this is they

end up picking the best mediocre niche

because right you have a list of seven

mediocre niches and then they'll go

through the the seven and then they'll

get this dopamine rush like oh this one

of the seven is the best of the seven so

I'm going to go into it. Uh and then

they totally fail and they're like why

did I fail? You know I had a huge

dopamine rush that I chose the best on

my list when they made a list of

mediocre niches. That's genuinely the

most common mistake. It sounds so dumb,

but I I promise you I promise you I've

taught all of the stuff that I'm showing

you guys here. Um, and maybe a little

bit less because I've learned what needs

to be put in here, what doesn't need to

be taught. And this is actually just the

most common mistake that I see. So, this

just leaves you with the best of the

mediocre niches, which is just not ideal

at all. Right? We want a 90 plus% chance

of your niche doing good. That's always

ideal. 90 plus. The second you do this,

you're getting like, keep in mind, it's

possible, right? It's possible to have

three of these and then still blow up.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but your

chances if you have all four of these,

I'm actually saying 85% plus. And if

it's at like the high end, like I said,

like 1 week old, five videos, then you

have a 100% chance. So, the thing is

when you do this, you're giving yourself

maybe in some cases I'm seeing a 20% or

30% chance that I'm kind of guessing.

When I see them pick their niche from

the start and they just don't listen to

my advice, and they end up going ahead

with the niche anyways for whatever

reason, um, and then they fail and

they're like, "Well, why did I fail?" um

you know, I kind of just got to explain

to them what I already explained before,

but you know, they didn't listen the

first time. So, that's just the most

common mistake that I see. So, I know it

sounds like I'm being harsh, but at this

point, anybody that's watching this and

is taking my word seriously, I honestly

hope the best for you, I truly mean that

because if you're s like spending the

time listening to me, that's all I could

ever ask for. So, the fact that you're

listening to me, I just want to be harsh

so that you can know not to do it. So,

do not just read this. Write this down.

If you you haven't written anything down

at this point, write this down. I don't

care. I write on a whiteboard. This is

the most common mistake on why people

fail on YouTube. I promise you 1,000% 1

million% that this is the most common

mistake. So, what should you do instead

to avoid this, you know, mistake? You

should be looking at niches every day.

No matter what, you shouldn't skip a

day. 7 days a week. You I'm not telling

you you have to spend 10 hours a day,

but you should spend between 1 and three

hours every single day. Ideally, if you

can split it up, maybe morning, evening,

night, because if you have different

sessions, there's like a higher chance

of something popping out that um

wouldn't have popped out if you did it

just like 3 hours in one session. But

you should be looking for niches 7 days

a week. And you should never never ever

ever get into a niche until you find a

niche that meets all four of these

criteria. So, you shouldn't be writing

down these mediocre niches. You should

be waiting until a niche comes to you.

So, instead of being like, "Oh, I need

to find a niche. I need to find a niche.

Okay, this is the best niche." It should

just be like, "Okay, I'm going to sit

here and have like the mental dedication

that's like if you can't find a niche

for 50 days, then you're not going to

start a channel for 50 days." And

although that's a little bit exaggerated

because it doesn't take that long to

find a niche, you know, but it can

definitely take like up to a month to

find a great niche. Um, so people don't

realize that some people will go watch

this video and they'll they'll go to

YouTube and they'll find a niche in

their first five minutes if they just

get lucky by finding a niche like that.

or some people will take 30 days and

anything in between. But you got to

realize that and you got to have that

mental fortitude that I'm not just okay

I'm going to look for niches and then

once I'm bored of niche like looking at

niches I'm going to pick the best

mediocre niche I have. No, just only

wait until you shouldn't have a niche

list. You should just wait until you

find a niche that has all these criteria

and then immediately jump into it. And

that goes into the next common mistake.

The second most common mistake, which is

people will find a good niche, and I've

actually seen this happen. This happened

just a few weeks ago. I had somebody

find a good niche that met all of these

criteria here. The channel was 2 weeks

old. The channel that they found had

three videos. There was only like one

other guy in the niche doing it. I think

there was less than 10 videos in the

niche pool. There was two channels like

which means that this was S+ tier. Now,

granted, that specific channel, it

wasn't getting like millions of views.

was getting like between 50 to 100,000

views on each video in the niche pool.

Um, but you know, that's still a channel

that can make you 5 $10,000 a month for

sure. So, I would say in that case, he

had like a 95% plus chance of doing

well. But he did the second most common

mistake, which honestly broke my heart a

little bit because the most common

mistake if you avoid that and you get to

this, it's just unfortunate. But just

write both of these down because I'm

telling you, I've worked with so many

people and here's the most two common

mistakes. So, it's either they do the

first common mistake or they manage to

avoid the first common mistake and they

hit the second most common mistake,

which only occurs if you, you know,

avoid the first one. That's the only way

you can hit the second one. You can't do

both at the same time. And that's

because you find a good niche, which is

great, of course, but then they take too

long to get their first video out

because every second you wait increases

the chance of more competition. Once you

find a niche, maximize your workload

immediately. Meaning, let's say you're

doing 1 hour a day of niche research and

on day 15 you find your niche. That once

again meets all four of these criteria

here. Your workload should jump to every

millisecond of the day you have free

time. You like going out with your

friends? Boop. No. You want to go biking

or something? Boop. No. Every free time

if you have work, if you have sto

school, I get it. But every free second

of your day should be you working on

getting your first video out until your

first video is out. Okay? Like if you

got 10 hours of free time in a day, then

you're working 10 hours until you get

that video out. And that's just the

truth of the matter because let let me

put this in a way that you'll understand

based on if you watched everything else

before this. Number one, the longer a

channel is out, the higher the chance

that YouTube will solidify this niche

and say, "Okay, nobody else can get into

this niche because we already know that

these are guys that will have the

highest ad watch time." So, by taking

too long. That's a possibility. Number

two, the niche pool, right? What if you

find a channel that has 40 videos in the

niche pool and then you take so long, by

the time you get your first video out,

there's a 100 videos in the niche pool.

Well, guess what? By the time you're

getting your video out, ideally there

should still be less than 50 videos in

the niche pool. Otherwise, then by the

time you create your channel, right,

it's not meeting the criteria anymore.

Like, it used to meet the criteria, but

then it doesn't. Same thing if you take

too long, more channels could be

created. Let's say there's four and by

the time you get your first video out,

there's seven channels now. Now, you

took too long, right? So, there's so

many things here like in the criteria

like the age of the channel, how many

videos that channel has, right? If they

had 10 like 12 videos, but by the time

you get your ear video out, they have 20

videos. Um, you know, there's a ton of

stuff like that. So, everything we

talked about before pretty much over

time could increase, right? Their

channel age, the fact that YouTube could

like close off the niche, the fact that

the your competitor could upload more

videos, more competitors could be made,

more videos could enter the niche pool.

My every time I find a niche, I always

have the first video out, no matter how

difficult the niche is, within 48 hours

of me finding that niche. Always. And

that's like the the long end. Sometimes

I'll get a video out within 24 hours and

I I mean granted I have more experience

so I know how to get videos out quickly

but it's like ideally even as a complete

beginner you need to get the first video

out within 72 hours. Like the second you

find that good niche I'm not even

joking. Write this down. Set a timer on

your phone or somewhere a 72-hour timer

and if you don't have your video out

you're like I don't know what to tell

you man. Like you just don't want it bad

enough. So, so you if you can find out

if you want it bad enough, the second

that the the second you Okay, you find

the niche, set a timer, and it's like if

your video is not out in 72 hours, you

just don't want it bad enough. It's that

simple. And somebody else will take your

spot in that niche, and then they'll be

making, you know, the 10 20k a month.

Now, what if you find a channel that,

you know, meets the channel age and has,

you know, 15 videos or less, but there's

two like more than five channels or

there's more than 50 videos in the niche

pool. Well, because these are targets

and they're not necessarily like

criteria. I know I labeled it as that

when I was speaking earlier, but in

general, these are the criteria, and

then these are the criteria for making

sure that a channel is not saturated,

but the niche itself is still good. So,

you have a niche that's good, but the

niche is saturated. So, is there

anything you could do? Well, yes,

there's one thing you could do, but keep

in mind, as a beginner, this is going to

be a little bit harder to do. So, I

wouldn't necessarily recommend this,

right? You're lowering your chances of

success by a little bit if you don't

know exactly what you're doing. But, you

know, you could still make this work as

a beginner. In fact, I actually had,

funny enough, I had somebody else find a

channel that met the criteria but didn't

meet the ideal targets here and then

they ended up doing this and they

actually didn't get their first video

out. They're actively about to, but I

thought it was a fantastic idea. So, I'm

very confident it's going to work, which

this is the subniche swap strategy,

right? And what does that mean? Well, if

you find a niche that meets the age, u

you know, how old the channel is and the

video count criteria, but has too many

competitors, identify the broad and the

subniche. You should already be able to

do this, right? If you went on YouTube,

um, or not already be able to do this,

but we talked about this. So, ideally,

you learn how to identify the broad

niche and the subniche, which isn't the

hardest thing to do. Now, all you need

to do is stay in the same broad niche,

but switch the subniche. Now, ideally,

the subniche should be somewhere

something close to the original subniche

because if you just go from NBA

highlights over to NBA documentaries,

that's like too big of a jump cuz that's

you're technically doing what I'm

saying, but that's too big of a jump.

So, I'm going to show you exactly what I

mean with a few examples. I'll use my

favorite example um because it's a niche

where so many people did this and it was

beautiful to watch it unfold as it

happened. Now, this is really a little

bit of an old example, but it'll explain

exactly what I mean here. So, if I go on

YouTube and I find this channel, Denzo,

and we go to his videos, if I sort by

oldest, you can see that this channel,

oh, it's actually a year old now. I

didn't know it was a whole year, but

this is how old this example is. So,

this is a year old. Now, if we look at

his videos, they were doing great,

right? 5.1 million views, 2.2 million

views, 2.4 million views. And if I go

over to this channel, Bound, you're

going to see something interesting,

which if I go by oldest, his channel is

10 months old, which the other channel I

just showed you was like exactly a year

old. Meaning that this guy Bound, we'll

call him Bound because that's his

channel name. Bound found Denzo's

channel. Denzo's channel at the time

that you know, this was 10 months ago,

but at that time, Bound was like,

Denzo's channel meets all of these

criteria. Now, if Bound knew all of

that, doesn't matter. The fact of the

matter is this was the case. The channel

was only two months old. The Denzo's

channel, I think at the time when Bound

started his channel, either had two or

three videos and there was actually no

other competitors in the niche at the

time. So, there was only two or three

videos in the niche pool. So, this was

like a great great niche find um at the

time. So, you know what Bound did? He

just copied his broad niche and his

subniche. Exactly. Because you can do

that if you meet the criteria for the

channel and the criteria for it to not

be oversaturated, which it did. So, what

did he do? It's literally the exact same

thing. So, if I go back to Denzo's

channel in a second, you'll see. But

Bound just uploads a lot more. As you

can see, this ended up working out

fantastic for him. Like, if we like see

27 million views on his channel, so this

is easily six figures. This is 100% over

$100,000 in the last 10 months, which is

great considering he's uploading one

every few days. And I I promise you,

this channel is fully automated. And the

guy that owns this channel is doing just

about nothing. But what is what is this

niche? As you can see, this goes back to

what I was talking about before that

once you pick a niche, you want to stay

in that niche. So, if I go to his oldest

video, why it sucks to be born as an

emperor penguin, which is 10 months ago,

and I go to latest, it's why it sucks to

be born as an insect. Why it sucks to be

born as a panggalan. Um, so, as you can

see, he stayed in his exact, you know,

channel niche. So, he changes the video

topic per video, but the overall, you

know, niche is the same, which is why,

uh, you know, I talked about how the

niche gives you your video topic, but it

still needs to be a good video topic. It

just comes from your niche. The niche

here in general is why it sucks to be

born as animals. That's the niche. The

broad niche and subniche here, I'll give

you, you know, maybe pause the video for

a second and just see if you can guess

what I'm about to say. Okay, if you

paused it, the answer is the broad niche

is why it sucks to be born as, which is

like the the type of video. Um, and

that's the broad niche. And the subniche

is animals. So, put it together. Why it

sucks to be born as is the broad niche.

Animals is the subniche. Put it

together. The channel niche is why it

sucks to be born as different animals.

And as you can see, that's exactly

what's going on. Why it sucks to be born

as a ghost shark. Why it sucks to be

born as a sea pig. Why it sucks to be

born as a main wolf. And if you I'll go

back to Denzo's channel just to show you

that this is exactly what he was doing.

Why it sucks to be born as a Komodo

dragon. Why it sucks to be born as an

eagle. So, it's the exact same broad and

subniche, meaning that both niches are

actually same channel niche, which is

why it sucks to be born as animals. Now,

what ended up happening is a few other

people copied these guys. And then

after, you know, there was five or so

channels, this niche started getting

oversaturated. So, new channels just

wouldn't get views u because there was

too many videos in the niche pool. There

was too many competitors. So, what did

people do? Well, I'm about to show you

the subniche method that I was talking

about. And this is really, really cool.

Uh because there's so many like this

broad niche of why it sucks to be born

as and then the subniche changed so many

times. Now, I'm sure you can guess one

about like the types of stuff I'm about

to show you, but there are so many. And

I'm going to go through as many as I can

remember, and I promise however many I

can remember is maybe 1/5if of the

amount that there were. So, if I search

up why it sucks to be born in One Piece,

if you don't know, One Piece is just an

anime. But this guy's doing the same

thing. And as you can see, he just did

why it sucks to be born as, and then his

subniche went from animals to anime. So,

why it sucks to be born in One Piece,

why it sucks to be born in a chiha,

which is a anime character from Naruto,

or a type of anime character, I guess.

Why it sucks to be a a marine in One

Piece. Why it sucks to be born as fish

man, which is also from One Piece. Why

it sucks to be a devil fruit user, which

is also from One Piece. Well, doesn't

matter. The category is the same thing.

I don't think he did the best with the

video topics here, which is why the

views are very inconsistent, but they're

still good, right? 454K views, 86K,

120K, like 33K was considered a bad

video for him at the time. And as you

can see, this guy did Why It Sucks to be

born as a sane, which is the same type

of video. It's the same broad niche of

why it sucks to be born as. in the

subniche is anime and this guy got 1.4

million views on his video. Now, if we

do why it sucks to be born as a

dinosaur, we got two guys here in this

same subniche cuz each subniche, you

know, has its own different criteria for

literally everything, right? It's its

own channel, but it resets the criteria

for the if the channel is oversaturated

because now it's in a different

subniche. It's technically a different

channel niche even though it's the same

broad niche, but the subniche is

different. So, it's a different channel

niche. So now the niche pool is reset

and now the amount of channels is reset.

So this guy the Neandrithal did why it

sucks to be born as a T-Rex. I don't

know why he did a video 9 months ago and

8 months ago and then just decided not

to upload for 7 months. This is a little

weird. Probably some in real life

situation happened to him as my guess.

But look, 2.3 million views and 1

million views. Now if I go back to the

search once again, we had somebody else

copy that and each of these subniches

people copy each other. So each subniche

ends up having uh getting oversaturated

and then it goes to the next subniche

and it's kind of like an endless cycle.

And this niche, this broad niche was

used so many times. So why it sucks to

be born as an Allosaurus, why it sucks

to be born as a Spinosaurus. Now here's

another example. Why it sucks to be born

as a samurai. If I go to Lost Legacy,

he's in the same broad niche, but he

changed it to these. I don't I don't

really know exactly what you'd call

these like historical type of figures.

For example, samurai, pirate, Viking,

Spartan, cowboy, gladiator, ninja. And

he's still uploading your life. Like

why? He just changed the the title, but

it's the same concept. Concubine

kamicazi pilot. And I could keep going,

but I promise you the why it sucks to be

born as broad niche had like 20, 30, 40

different subniches in it. And then in

each subniche, like four or five

channels were created in each one until

it ended up getting oversaturated per

subniche. And then more were created and

created and created. So this is just

like my favorite example because it

really shows a subniche method and how

powerful it is. And even though in this

broad niche there's probably thousands

of videos, each subniche when you know

maybe at this point has a lot of videos

but people are finding these sub uh

subniches with the niche pool being

really low in number which is why so

many of these people ended up having

very successful channels. Now I'm going

to show you exactly how you can find a

niche using my software Tube Genai

because yes you can go on YouTube and

look for niches manually. Good luck with

that. But I personally just use my niche

finder. Now there's a few different

niche finders. There's like two or three

online, but what makes a niche finder

great isn't the filters cuz all of them

have a ton of filters. What makes it

great is the database because, you know,

you have to get YouTube's data. And

ours, we have the largest database of

YouTube uh channels on here just on the

internet. So, you might say I'm biased,

but I'm just going by the facts. We got

the largest database, so we have the

most channels. And then you just filter

them. You can find like literally

whatever you want. Like this is just

random stuff without even filters. And

there's already a channel here. This

channel has seven videos. It's a month

old. And you know, you got 23K, 14K,

26K. The recent videos didn't do super

great, but just an example like this

just popped up on the nicheinder on our

random assortment, like which is just

the homepage of it. So, I'm just going

to quickly go over what you can do with

this niche. And if you do use Tube Gen,

if you press this video here, there's a

like 10-minute tutorial on how to use it

as well. There's a few things you can

do. If you want to, you can sort by

sleep channels, which is just like

really long videos people sleep to, or

story channels, which is just story

channels, like people telling stories.

And these have their own button because

they're pretty common niches. But more

importantly, you have the sort by and

you have the advanced filters. So

advanced filters, there's a lot you can

do. You can say how old a channel is. So

I said 6 months old. So um 6 months ago

would be March 18th from when I'm

recording this. The two date is just

going to be set to today. I don't know

why you would change this. And you can

even check faceless channels only. You

can even check monetized channels only.

But chances are if you if you want to

find like S tier niches that are only a

week old, they're not monetized yet

because they have to wait for YouTube to

get back to them. So I like to not check

this. Then content type long form. I

don't really mess with shorts. You can

find use shorts though. And then ton of

languages you can choose from here. And

then you can even choose the content

quality because our AI can detect how

high the quality is. Is it is it just

lowquality spam or is it like high

quality videos like Mr. Beast? And then

once again the AI is checking if it's a

faceless channel. Now there's a ton of

stuff you can do. You can do average

views, medium views. There's a ton of

filters. If you want to, you can pause

and read this. I'm not going to go over

all of them. My favorite is just the

medium views. Let's set this to like

20,000, for example. And then their

video count I'll just set to max. We'll

do like max 20 here. And then their

minimum average view uh video is going

to be eight. I'm going to set it to 8

minutes cuz 8 minutes is when you can

have midroll ads in your video and like

manually place ads. So, just any channel

you really ever start should be at least

8 minutes long for your videos. And then

I'm going to apply the filters. Now, you

may find channels that are less than 8

minute long videos, like they got 5

minutee long videos, but they're just

not getting paid a lot. And keep in

mind, because there's so many channels

in this database, you know, there's

going to be a lot of channels here. So,

the you could have different filters

like within each other. For example, if

I set this to 50,000 views minimum, um

some vid uh channels that are in that

range might not pop up on the filter

20,000 because there's just so many

channels in this database that even

though 50,000 plus is still in the

20,000 plus, a channel might not pop up.

So, keep in mind, you just got to mess

with the filters to find exactly what

you're looking for. But this sort by is

really cool. I like recency or I like

average views. I don't really use any of

these other ones. Um, but I'll sort by

recency to see like the most recent

channels uh with these filters. And then

we can look through them. Here's a

channel for example, Navy Signal. And as

you can see, this channel has 14 videos,

so one less than 15. Their oldest videos

13 days ago, and they're getting a lot

of views. But the one great thing about

Tube Gen as well is that you can press

similar channels right here, and it's

going to just look for all the channels

on YouTube in that are similar. So, we

can see how many competitors there are.

So, this meets the criteria of their

channel age and how many videos they

have uploaded. Like, you can see this

right here. Two weeks ago, 14 total

videos. And this channel is monetized.

But then, look what we got here. Oh my

gosh, look how many channels there are.

Now, not every channel that's going to

pop up here is going to be a direct

competitor. Some, you know, it's using

AI, so some might not pop or some

channels might pop up that aren't

competitors, but pretty much all the

competitors on YouTube should pop up

here, which just makes the like manually

searching for all the competitors just

like that. I I did that in one second. I

literally clicked a button. But we got

Navy Secrets, we got Navy Point, we got

Navy Media, Beyond Military, Military,

No Way, Military Aviation, Military

Reality. Um, I don't think this is the

same. I think this looks like it's the

same. Weapons party. And it'll even show

channels that don't do that. Well, it's

probably not going to show channels like

100 views because there would be way too

many. But, for example, like the worst

channel here um is getting looks like

this one 33,000. Either way, there's for

sure more than five channels in this um

niche. It looks like I mean, it's not

like there's a lot more than five. If we

actually count, I think there's like six

or so. So, that alone isn't good. But

the big bigger problem here is how many

videos are here. So, total videos 14.

Total videos 194. Is this channel like

banned or something? Yeah, this channel

was banned for some reason. So, we won't

count this guy, but 14 videos here, 19

videos here. This one channel alone has

115 videos. This channel alone has 108

videos. This channel has 28 videos. This

channel has 20 videos. So in total in

this niche pool, there is hundreds of

videos. A lot more than 50, I'll tell

you that much. And there's more than

five channel competitors. So that means

we have a good niche, right? But we

don't have, you know, the criteria for

is it saturated, which in this case it

is. With Tube Gen, because we can do the

similar channels, you can find out if

the channel's saturated instantly,

right? because it tells you right here

um you know the video count how many

channels there are. So you can find out

very quickly without having to do any

research and you just look at their

videos here. So in 5 seconds we were

able to tell that this channel is

oversaturated. So what do we do here?

Well we have two options. Either you

know this niche isn't good. Well it's

good but either just don't do this niche

and go keep looking or we could take

this niche and we can uh go into a

different subniche which like I said

this is a little bit harder to do and

get right. But for example, this is

typically like uh with most of these

channels. This is like US versus cartel.

I know there's a lot of these channels

that are like US vers or the Russia

versus Ukraine. But for example, you

could do this for a more niche audience.

Let's say you could do war news in Nepal

cuz I know like Nepal right now is

having a revolution. So that's just an

example of how you could switch the

subniche. I'm not telling you to go do

that, but that's just an example of how

you could. And like I said, I would be

wary on doing that because that's going

to be a little harder to get right

because it's true, it's easier to find a

channel that meets the niche criteria,

but that doesn't meet the

oversaturation. Like, is it

oversaturated or not? criteria. Um, and

it's going to be a lot harder to find

that because you only have two criteria

versus four. So, a lot of you will be

tempted to go, "Oh, I found the first

two criteria and then I'm just going to

switch to subniche," which it will work

if you know what you're doing. Just keep

in mind if you don't really know what

you're doing, I probably wouldn't

recommend it. But do whatever you want

because, you know, it can work if you if

you have an idea what you're doing. Even

if it's your first channel, if you kind

of watch this whole video, maybe you'll

learn enough to where you can uh

confidently do that. But let's go back

to the search here. And pretty much I'm

just going to go through all of these

filters, mess around until I find a a

niche, and I'll cut back. So, going

through, I even switch the language

here. And I started looking at like

German channels. I just look at whatever

because at this point, I've created

channels that aren't even in English.

Now, as a beginner, I would not

recommend doing this, but this is just a

niche that I found right here that look

good. It is two months old. It has

exactly 15 videos. You know, it's

monetized. And if we go and press on

similar channels here, similar channels

do pop up, but if you actually go

through these, none of them are exactly

the same as this one. So, like I said,

channels will come up that are like that

the AI detects to be kind of similar,

but nothing is exactly like this

channel. So, if we look at this channel,

it's like this German sleep channel,

which they're not getting that many

views, right? But the RPM on these

videos are insanely high because you

have two and a half hourong videos here.

So, even if it gets 4,000 views, this

video with 4,000 views might make $100

just because it's so long. Uh, and we're

going to go over how to understand how

like many views video should have

because I didn't include that in the

criteria. A lot of people include that

in the criteria, but I didn't for a

reason. uh and once we get further into

this course, you'll learn what exactly

is important for understanding like how

much of channels actually making. Now,

my goal here is I'm going to find three

total niches and I'm actually going to

go and start three channels throughout

this course. So, I'm going to find one

niche that is this niche is completely

done with AI. So, this is going to be

like I can use Tube Gen to write the

scripts, voiceovers, and everything. So,

I'm going to show you exactly me making

the video and how easy it is to make an

AI channel like this. So, I'll show

that. I'm gonna show one animation

channel that's used with AI and then I'm

gonna find one niche that is using half

AI and half hiring people. So, a niche

where I'm going to hire an editor, for

example, maybe a thumbnail artist, too.

But then you're actually working with

editor, thumbnail artist. So, this is

kind of like these three different types

of channels and watching me, you know,

find the niche, do everything live, uh,

and make the videos, get the videos out

is going to help probably more than the

course itself cuz you're going to watch

me do everything live. Now, if you get

any of the subscriptions to Tube Gen,

you're going to have access to this

course, but this course is going to have

a little bit of stuff cut out. Well,

like half of it cut out probably. So, in

this YouTube video, what I'm going to do

is I will show you I'll do this channel

on this YouTube video, but then the

other two types of channels, the

animation and the one where I work with

like actual an actual team. Those two

are going to be exclusive on TubeGen.

So, there's a core section in Tube Gen

and you'll be able to access that in

there. But, I mean, it's my company. I

got to plug it. I'll be honest. I mean,

it's a great tool. I use it for almost

every channel I run. Now that I got that

shameless plug out of the way, we're

going to continue. Now, video topic and

title strategy. We just covered how to

find your niche, the criteria, pretty

much everything related to you going

from pretty much having nothing to

having your niche. Now that you know how

to do that, we're going to learn how to

come up with your video topic. Because

if we have the five-step order, right,

we had finding the niche, then after

finding the niche is getting the video

topic, then wording that topic, aka

creating the title, then you have after

that, you know, thumbnail, then AVD. But

right now, we're going to go over um

pretty much the next step after finding

the niche, the next two steps, which is

getting the video topic and then wording

that topic. So, making your title. So,

for finding video ideas, aka topics.

One, the first step is you're going to

look at your competitors. And like I

said, you should have maximum five

competitors. The less the better. So,

ideally, you either have one, two, or

three competitors in your niche, and

they're already in this niche. They've

already tested videos with you. If

there's up to 40, 50 videos in your

niche pool, obviously, you want less.

But let's say there's 40 videos in your

niche pool. You have 40 videos to look

at and compare amongst each other to see

which one, you know, is going to perform

the best. Because let's say you see the

same video performing good on all

channels, you know, this is just a good

video idea. And the thing is, a lot of

people don't realize, but if a YouTube

video does good on one channel in the

exact same niche, if you do the same

video idea, it will also do good. That's

just how it works because the first

video might not have reached all of the

target audience for that video. So

pretty much just first thing you're

going to do is just look at your

competitors. So once I go through all

this, I'm going to actually show you me

live, you know, finding a video idea.

But once you're looking at your

competitors, you want to find their

outliers. Now, outliers is highlighted

here because this is a very important

word here. I'll even highlight it with

my mouse. Find their outliers. Meaning,

don't sort their videos by popular,

right? Don't sort the videos by popular.

Sort them by recent. Uh, and once I go

through all this, I'm going to go to the

actual channel and show you what I mean.

But you want to sort videos by recent

and then you're going to look at their

outliers. So their outliers are are just

their most recent videos because you

sorted by recent uh and the ones that

perform exceptionally well. So let's say

their last 10 videos all had exactly

10,000 views each, but their second to

the last video had 50,000 views. Well,

that means their average video out of

their last 10 videos is getting like

10,000 around, but then this second to

last video has 50,000 views. Boom.

That's the video idea that you should

probably copy. The next thing that I

wanted to add on there is let's say they

have 20 videos on their channel though

and their first video has 500,000 views.

Yes, that might be their best performing

video, but if it's not that recent, like

it's 2 or 3 months old. Uh it'd actually

probably be better for you to copy the

outlier video with 50,000 views. So,

just identify which recent video has the

most views, it's pretty simple. And I'll

go over that and physically show you how

that would look as well. But just like

picking your niche, because you got to

realize that the niche is the topic for

your channel and the video idea is the

topic for your video. So they're

actually very similar. They got their

own criteria, right? And really the one

thing that you got to look for as for

criteria is, you know, which video is

recently doing well. It's the same thing

for the niche, right? Which niche is

recently performing well on YouTube. So

it's really the same concept here. Um,

and just the way the niche has, you

know, criteria for finding which niche

is good and then finding out if the

niche is oversaturated, you have the

criteria here, which is find a recent

performing video and once you find it,

okay, that's a good video topic. Now,

you have to do the same thing that you

would do for the niche and you also have

criteria for the video topic on if the

topic itself is oversaturated. So, this

is pretty simple to do. Once you find a

good video idea based on, you know, a

recent trending video on one of your

competitor's channels, choose videos

that only appear once in the niche pool.

So, what you're going to do is once you

find a video that's performing well on

your competitor's channel, you're going

to go to all the competitor's channels

and see, did anybody else copy this

video? And if the answer is no, only one

guy did it and it's recent, it's

performing well, meaning only one video

with this topic in the niche pool, then

just copy his video. Seriously, just

copy it. You think, "Oh, copying is

bad." I see people, they'll want to

change up things slightly. Like, why? It

just performed well. Why are you trying

to change it up? Just copy them. And

it's really that simple. Literally, just

copy their video. Now, if it appears

once, like I said, copy the title

exactly. Don't try and reword the title.

Like, literally, I have done this. I I

can't even count many maybe multiple

thousands of times because I've been

doing YouTube for 5 years. I've run over

20 monetized channels, right? And in

that time period, I've probably done,

yeah, probably like a thousand or so

times have I made my title by literally

pressing control, like highlighting

somebody's video title like this,

pressing Ctrl + C, or just right

clicking and pressing copy, and then

right clicking and pressing paste or uh

or Ctrl +V, right? So, pretty much what

I'm saying is I my title was exactly the

same as theirs if their video only

appeared once in niche pool or their

video topic. Now, if the video appears

multiple times in the niche pool,

meaning you check your competitor's

channel, he did a recent video and it

did well, and then you check one of your

other competitors and they also did that

video or two of them also did that

video, two other competitors. So,

there's three guys that have done this

video, um, you can still copy it only

under the pretense that all of their

videos did well, meaning all of the

videos were outliers for all of the

channels. So, if on one channel it was

an outlier, but on the other two it just

performed like average, I wouldn't copy

it. But if it's an outlier compared to

like their um videos, their other

videos, then definitely do it. Even if

let's say the first channel that you're

looking at, it's a it's a you know video

from 3 days ago and it's an outlier

video. So you're like great and you

check the other competitors and their

video of that topic was like a month

ago, that's fine because it's still

proving that this topic is still working

recently because even if just one of the

guys had it recently do well, that's

fine. So, if it's an outlier, meaning it

did better than their channel average,

um, on all of your competitor's

channels, then just go back to this and,

you know, copy the title exactly, do the

video topic exactly. But if it appears

multiple times and it's only an outlier

on one of the channels or two or pretty

much just not all of them. It has to be

on all of them. If you have five

competitors and um, three of them did it

did this topic, then make sure all three

were an outlier for all of their

channels. If all five of your

competitors did it, make sure that video

topic was an outlier for all of their

channels because you need to make sure

that this topic is still working and it

works on every channel. To put it more

simply now that I'm speaking this out

loud, just make sure that when you find

an outlier video that it's an outlier

video on every single channel you find,

which means if it's only an outlier,

meaning if only one person, one of your

competitors did this video topic. If

it's an outlier for them, that's one for

one. That's 100%. If two of your

competitors did it, that's two for two

has to be an outlier for you to copy

Exactly. That's still 100%. So if 100%

of your competitors that did a video

topic had that topic be an outlier

video, then copy the video title.

Exactly. If not, and it only, you know,

let's say two guys did it and it was an

outlier for one and for the other one it

was not an outlier. What you want to do

is do the same thing that you would do

with your niche, like the subniche swap

strategy. You just do this for the

topic, which is the topic swap strategy,

whatever you want to call it here. But I

I'm just saying this is it's like the

same thing. You want to take the same

topic and just adjust it slightly. For

example, if we go back to my old example

of the niche of why it sucks to be born

as blank as a broad niche and the

subniche was anime. We saw a video that

was like why it sucks to be born as a

new chiha. And if you know what that

means, then great. But if you don't

know, pretty much it's like a certain

clan from an anime. So, let's say one

guy did it and it did good, then copy

him. If two guys did it and it did good

for both of them, copy it. If two guys

did that video, but it only did good for

one of them and the other one just did

kind of average, then what I would do is

I would change that instead of um why it

sucks to be born as a new chiha, I would

change it to just a different clan from

that same anime. So in this case, I

would do why it sucks to be born as an

Uzumaki or something like that, just for

example. And that's just another clan

from the anime. So it's the same thing.

why it sucks to be born as and then

still using the anime of Naruto but

we're just and still using the topic of

clans but we're just changing it from

one clan to a different clan and that is

a perfect example hopefully you can

understand that cuz that's exactly what

I mean by this right here and sorry if

this is a lot of yap I just want to make

sure I'm explaining this that anybody

watching this can understand and the

title strategy copy your competitor's

titles exactly yes one to one this is in

parenthesis for a reason and I know this

sounds almost contradictory right you're

going to say but you said the title is

super important it is It's even more

important than your thumbnail and your

AVD because the title is what's going to

push your video into the algorithm,

right? That's how YouTube's going to

identify what video topic, what niche

you're in, for example. So, but the

thing is, if your competitor already

used that title and it did good, then

copy it. And even if you're doing the

same thing where you're switching the

topic like I just mentioned, just copy

the title exactly. And in this case,

instead of Uchiah, I would just delete

the word Uchiah and put Usuzamaki or

whatever other clan I was talking about.

But every other wording in the title

would be exactly the same. So, do

whatever you can to make every single

letter in your title, the length,

everything the same as the competitor's

video that you're copying uh one to one

or that you're switching the topic for.

Um, and try and make it as close as

possible with that topic switch. Now,

some people might think that this is

easy, and to be honest, if you really

just follow the strategy, it's not that

complicated. However, people will then

be like, "Okay, well, I figured out how

to do the first video, maybe how to do

the first two videos, but then what do I

do after that? How do I keep coming up

with ideas?" And the thing is, if you're

thinking like that, you're already doing

this wrong. And it's not your fault

because I didn't explain this part yet.

But the truth of the matter is is that

you should not be coming up with

multiple video ideas in advance or at

least that far in advance. You should

always be going on trends. Trends is how

YouTube runs. Even if it doesn't feel

like a trending topic if it's just a

trending topic on YouTube itself. Like

that's just what's getting a lot of

views at the moment. Even if it's not

literally like a trend outside of

YouTube, that's just how YouTube runs.

That's how you get views always. So, in

order to keep up with trends, you just

got to come up with one video idea.

Meaning, don't plan multiple video ideas

in advance. You upload your first video.

And if your first video does well, then

create different variations of that

topic. If the video performed

exceptionally well, literally just do a

part two. Like, if I did why it sucks to

be born as a new chiha and that was my

first video and it popped off like

500,000 views, my second video 1,000% is

why it sucks to be born as a new chiha

part two. And then if that does good,

I'll do part three. And I will literally

do that 20 parts in a row if it keeps

getting views. I mean, that's unlikely.

It will probably be like a three, four,

five times maybe. And then once it

starts like dying down a little bit,

that's when I would switch the topic.

And from there, the first thing I would

do is then I would just change the topic

slightly. So I would change it from much

to a different clan such as Usuzamaki.

And then if Usuzamaki does good, I will

just do that. Then I'll do a part two.

Just keep doing. If it only does good on

the part one, and then part two already

kind of doesn't do as good as part one,

then I'll just change the topic to a

different clan. channel. Just keep on

doing that. And by the time you do that

enough times, if you don't know what to

do for your next videos, once you kind

of did like um the same topic over and

over, then you switched the topic as

many times as you could and did that

over and over. By the time you've done

that, it's probably going to be a month,

maybe two months into your channel as to

where you can just go back and reset the

cycle to the beginning of this and just

look at your competitors, copy them, and

do that. Because of this strategy, you

will have infinite content because your

competitors are just doing the work for

you. And in this case, you're pretty

much having uh a method where it's like

they do the testing for you. You don't

do any testing. You're just doing what

has the highest chance of blowing up and

they're doing the testing, which is why

you're going to get more views than

them. And uh this is just a really

broken strategy. and using this just in

general um with anybody that I've been

teaching in general. If you search this

up, the average YouTube channel that

gets monetized takes around six months

on average to get monetized. And on

average, I'm probably getting less than

two months. Like between one and two

months is pretty typical. Most people

that are creating channels that are

under my supervision, it's pretty uh

unlikely to take over 60 days. I'm

saying two months would be the longest

it would take. So, between one and two

months is pretty typical. And just the

other week, somebody I was working with

got monetized in six days, I believe.

So, you know, it just really depends.

But that was also their second channel,

not their first one. Because the thing

is when you do this, this, like I said,

is learning the algorithm. You can learn

the algorithm. So, because you can learn

the algorithm, I promise you, the more

channels you run, the better you get. It

is just a fact. Like the second channel

is going to be easier than the first and

the third is going to be easier. It just

gets easier and easier and easier. And

at this point, it's like for me, this is

just it's it's like second nature at

this point, honestly, because I've done

this so many times. So, now we have this

channel. This channel's in German, so

it's going to be a little bit harder to

overview. Keep in mind, if you access a

Tube Gen course, I have two other niches

that are in completely different types

of niches, so you have more examples to

work with. But just to show you guys

here as well, if I sort their videos by

popular, we have this 300,000 view

video, this 100,000 view video, but I'm

not going to do either of these topics.

Now, these are in German, so I don't

even know what the topic is or what it

says, but quite frankly, I don't care at

all. I'm just going to sort by latest

and look at their latest videos. So, if

we look at their latest videos, just

kind of what's on the screen here, even

this video, for example, is a month old

and has 30k views. But this one's 2

weeks old and it has 35. So, if we look

5K views, 15K views, 24K views, 14K,

24K, 12K. So, 35K, this is definitely

going to be the outlier here. It's only

2 weeks old. And the last time they had

a video get more views than that was

actually over a month prior to that, I

believe. So, this is probably almost two

months old, this video here. So, this is

definitely the video that I'm going to

copy. Like I said, I don't know what the

topic is or anything, but it doesn't

matter because if I'm copying their

title, I'm copying their topic. And I'm

already copying their niche, so the

topic has to be the same. So, because

the title is the same, and because the

channel niche, which is the broad niche

and the subniche, is exactly the same. I

have the channel niche is the same. I

have the title is the same. So, if both

are the same, I just copy this title

onto the same channel niche that I'm

going to create, then the topic must be

the same because how could I be in the

same exact broad and subniche and have

the same title as him and it's not in

the same niche. Um, so in this case, I

don't even really need to know what this

says in English. And truthfully, I don't

care. I'm not even going to translate

it. I don't care. And sorry to break it

to you. This just proves a passion. I'm

not going to if I'm really big on like

football or something, I'm not making a

football channel looking for a football

niche because of that. Uh, this is this

is how I run this. And I mean, if you're

not a fan of doing things like this,

that's up to you. But I view this

strictly business. I mean, this is just

a business. I'm providing entertainment

for people in exchange for income. So,

I'm not doing this out of out of passion

to do what I love to do. Otherwise, I

promise you, every channel I would be

running would not be the channel that I

am running because honestly, I'll be

honest, none of the channels I run

really interest me besides like one or

two. But yeah, that's how I came up with

the video uh title. Sorry. You see how

simple that was? I literally just went

to his channel and this is the only guy

in the niche. So, in other cases, if

there were other creators, you would

just check if anybody else did this

video topic, which would be a little bit

easier. This was in English because not

everybody's going to title it exactly

the same. So, thankfully, in this case,

I only have one channel to look at. But

if there were multiple, you just look at

multiple and see if they had the same

video topic uploaded. Now, we went over

the niche finding. We went over the

topic finding, the wording of the title.

So, the next thing in the chain is

thumbnails. So, let's go over that. So,

thumbnail mastery. And the reason I

write mastery is because you got to

master this. And the thumbnail, I'll be

honest, out of everything, this is for

sure the most complicated thing to get

right. And keep in mind, yes, this is I

say this is the fourth most important

thing because it's the second to last

thing that YouTube takes in mind uh when

pushing out views to your video. But

keep in mind, everything of the five has

to be good. So, it's not really the

fourth most important. That's just how I

word it. This is just the fourth in

order as to what YouTube uses to push

out your video. And you need to meet all

five stages in order to get pushed out.

So you need to know how to do this just

like everything else. And this is

probably the most important thing that

you should watch. And that's because

this is definitely the most complicated.

And this is where I see a lot of people

just not understanding what to do ever.

The most important rule, you should be

able to guess your thumbnail from the

title and vice versa. They must work

together. A lot of people seem to think

they have their title and then their

thumbnail is just their title. Meaning,

they just have a thumbnail and then they

put the title on as text on their

screen. And a lot of people don't

realize that when somebody's clicking on

your video, a good portion of that

click-through rate, meaning the way it

works, right, is that you get

impressions. That's every time you get a

video and you're recommended, you're

giving that person an impression. Yeah.

It's against your will. An impression is

against your will. If YouTube recommends

you a video, you give them an

impression. Um, so if people click on

the video now, then you're giving them a

click. And let's say a hundred people

get a video on the recommended page and

10 people that see that on the

recommended page click on it, then their

click-through rate is 10%. So, pretty

simple way to think about that. Um, and

the way it works, a lot of people don't

realize how much the title influences if

somebody presses on a video. A lot of

people don't realize that. They say it's

just the thumbnail. But part of like

your thumbnail because we're now in the

section where we're talking about

getting a click on your video is part of

the title. Now, we already created our

titles, but what we need to do is make a

thumbnail based on that title. That

works very well. So, really this says

you need to be able to guess the

thumbnail from the title and vice versa.

Um, but it just vice versa is just the

technical. You should be able to guess

both. But now that you have your title,

you should be able to guess what the

thumbnail should look like based on the

title. Now, in most cases, you can

probably copy your competitor, but in a

lot of cases, competitor your

competitors might not have the best

thumbnail. So, the thumbnail is

definitely something we can change up

and make better. I do this a lot. I

don't really copy thumbnails that often.

It depends on the channel. Like, if my

competitors have great thumbnails and

they're already doing everything I'm

about to show you here perfectly, then

I'm just going to copy them and just

make it, you know, a little bit

different. So, I'm not literally

stealing their thumbnail. I'm going to

recreate it is what I mean. But the

reason I say vice versa is because for

you, you should be able to guess what

the thumbnail should look like based on

the title. Of course, once you master

all of these rules, um, but the viewer,

the reason it says vice versa, and this

is important, is because the viewer must

be able to guess what the title is by

looking at the thumbnail. So, the first

thing that a viewer sees is your

thumbnail. And this is kind of the

order, right? They have a bunch of

videos on their recommended. And then we

talked about how the recommended page is

pretty much one big thumbnail. Let's say

my my thumbnail is at the bottom right.

Right? We got this big recommended page

and my thumbnail is at the bottom right

here. Let's actually just like open up

paint to make this a little bit more

clear. Um, so you got, you know, here's

the YouTube logo and then we got, you

know, video one, video two, video three.

I know I'm a great artist. You don't got

to comment on it, guys. I already know.

But here are six videos. This is this is

I can make this a little better. But

these are all thumbnails, right? you

know, maybe one is Mr. Beast's video or

something. So, we got the title. We got

the title for all of these. So, this is

pretty much what the viewer is going to

see. Now, if they're on their um, you

know, suggested videos, it' be on the

sidebar next to a video. Uh, but if it's

browse features, it's going to look like

this. But just think of it the same way

cuz it works the same way. But this is

what they're going to see. They're going

to see the thumbnail first and then

let's say this is all on YouTube. So,

this is what I'm saying. this whole

section here that I'm crossing out. Just

think of it as one big thumbnail and

your section of this big thumbnail needs

to stand out the most. So, let's say

this is my thumbnail here. I'm going to

use, you know, bright colors and white

whatnot. We'll talk about this in a

second to catch the attention. So, if I

were to just like zoom out here, the

first one that's going to catch your

attention is going to be this one

because there's some colors in it. So,

this is one big thumbnail and then the

viewer's eye points to right here. So,

they see the thumbnail. This is the

thumbnail is literally just to catch

their eye to make them read the title.

That's all you're doing here. So to make

this simple, you're catching their eye

and we're going to go over how you do

that first, but it's I'm just going over

so you'll understand how somebody

clicking on a video works and psychology

behind it. They're going to see this as

one big thumbnail. Then your section of

the thumbnail, which is, you know, your

video thumbnail, needs to catch their

eye because you got to keep in mind,

you're competing against every other

section here. The human eye, the

viewer's eye can go anywhere. So, you're

not just competing against your

competitors. You're competing against

literally every video on YouTube cuz you

don't know what's going to be on

somebody's recommended page, which is

why you need to master your thumbnail.

So, you need to catch their eye. And

chances are maybe maybe two thumbnails

or three thumbnails catch their eye, but

then that's when it goes based on which

video they click based on the title,

right? You don't go on YouTube, you

know, when you go on YouTube, do you

really go and just the first thumbnail

you see you press on? Like, I really

doubt it. You probably see a few. So,

you see it and then that makes them read

the title. Now, you're going to have a

significantly higher click-through rate

if this right here, your thumbnail, if

they can guess what the title is before

they read it. So, so somebody that's

very, very good at thumbnails, and I'm

sure you could have guessed, is Mr.

Beast because he's going to apply

everything I am about to tell you, and

you're going to like I want you to go to

Mr. beast channel after you know this

section of the course or after you

complete the course and kind of just

look through his thumbnails and you'll

see what I mean. You'll see it

differently. Like if you if you don't

know much about thumbnails or you don't

know everything, then you know you might

just see these and be like, "Okay,

cool." But, you know, if you go back

after you learn thumbnails, you're going

to see his thumbnails very differently.

So, I'll just give you an example. This

video right here, survive 100 days in

prison, win $500,000. Now, let's just

hypothetically pretend that this title

wasn't here, right? If this title wasn't

here and you just had the thumbnail of

Mr. Beast against the wall where it says

day 94 with this cop tasing him. When

you look at that, your brain is going to

in the back of your head, you're not

even going to think about it, but you're

just going to look at it and you're

like, "Okay, Mr. Beast is spending 100

days in jail, right? So, survive 100

days in jail." That's like if if I had

no title here, I guarantee you I would

guess it's survive 100 days in prison.

And then I would assume that there's

some sort of prize after because that's

just what Mr. Beast does. It's like as

you see, he always does prizes. But in

general, that's not the main premise of

his title. The main premise is just

survive 100 days in prison or surviving

100 days in prison. That's probably what

I would guess if there was no prize that

it's surviving 100 days in prison. So,

he did a great job here making a

thumbnail where I can guess the title

before I even look at it. So, if this

were to on my homepage and it caught my

eye, I would look at this and then my

brain in the back of my head would

already be like, "Okay, surviving 100

days in prison." And then you read the

title and it's like, "Okay, this is

exactly what I thought it was." And that

just gives you the instinct to press on

the video. That is really just how it

works. Uh if you don't believe me, then

you know, I don't care. Just to put it

simply, that's just how it works. If you

can make it so that your thumbnail So

keep in mind when he made his video

title, I'm sure the first thing that

happened was in his head, he visualized

what that thumbnail would look like,

right? And now it works the same way for

the viewer. So for the creator, they

already have their title first, right?

He doesn't create the thumbnail and then

create the the video topic. That just

doesn't make sense. So, he has his video

topic and based on his topic and title,

he's going to imagine as the creator

what the title what the thumbnail will

look like based on his like learning

thumbnails, right? You need to learn how

thumbnails work first. And once you have

those mastered, then you'll naturally be

able to do that where you think about

your title and then boom, you just in

your mind, you know what your thumbnail

should look like. And then for the

viewer, it's the opposite. Once they see

your thumbnail, they should be able to

guess what the title is. And you need to

make sure that both of these are true.

So, you need to master thumbnails enough

where you can just know what your

thumbnail should look like from the get-

go and then make it so that your

thumbnail is in fact so good that the

viewer can guess the title. Now, just to

keep it consistent, I'll probably go

back to Mr. Beast's channel a few times

because he has some great examples of

pretty much everything I want to talk

about. Now, I do keep in mind, of

course, his isn't a faceless channel,

but everything really does apply the

same. I promise you, I can make an IRL

thumbnail, a faceless thumbnail,

whatever it is, and using the principles

I know it'll work for all of them. Now,

the first key thumbnail rule is going to

be text. Now, text in your thumbnail is

bad. Like I said, you shouldn't be

rephrasing your title in the thumbnail.

That's what the title's for. You don't

need the title in the thumbnail and in

the title. That just doesn't make sense.

Now, if having text in your title is

going to help you uh guess what the

title is, then that's good. Now, most

thumbnails don't need text in it. But

going back to Mr. Beast, for example,

you have right here day 94. And this

because of this, I can guess that his

title is going to be talking about

surviving a 100 days. Like because of

the the text here, it allows you to

guess that he's saying surviving uh 100

days. Now, if this text weren't here and

it was just a guy tasing him against a

wall, maybe I would think it's something

about who can survive the longest

getting tased or something. I'm not

really sure to be honest because that

that's what I'm saying. If that text

wasn't there, it wouldn't be super

clear. So, just because of that text,

that text actually helps so much to make

me guess what the title is going to be.

Here's another example right here. He

has before and after. Now, does he have

before or after inside of his title? And

based on this thumbnail, I immediately

would be able to sell see before and

after. The before is gross water. After

is clean water. You know, he's spitting

it out. He's drinking it. So, this is

before, this is after. What could the

title be? I didn't even read it yet, but

I absolutely guarantee you it's going to

be something about clean water. So, 2

million people get clean water for the

first time. There you go. Makes sense.

And then, for example, you have this one

right here where he doesn't need text.

What text would he need here? The title

is world's fastest car versus cheetah.

Now you have Mr. Beast and clearly it's

like a jet engine car and you have a

cheetah and the cheetah looks like he's

ready to race. This one I probably would

guess exactly the same thing as what the

title is. I don't know if I would have

guessed world's fastest car but the

premise is the same. Fast car versus

cheetah. And why would he need text

here? You know having uh you know day

something wouldn't make sense. Having

before and after wouldn't make sense. So

because there's nothing that's going to

help you guess what the what the title

is and you can guess it without text.

So, if you can make a thumbnail where

you can guess what the title is without

text, do that. But in a case where

you're doing like survive a 100 days or

something that's like before and after,

by putting before and after, that helps

you understand. And by putting day 94,

that helps you understand. Um, and in

this uh video, for example, he doesn't

need text to help you understand what

the title is. So, he doesn't put text.

And really, if you just look at any of

his thumbnails here, the you know, the

the thumbnail isn't rephrasing the

title. The thumbnail and the title work

together. It's like if this thumbnail

right here doesn't make you click on the

video, maybe the title would. And they

work together. They're two separate

things that work together to make

somebody click on the video. You need to

understand that. So although text is

bad, like I said, you can use it if it's

going to help people guess what the

title is without rephrasing the title.

For example, by using before and after,

but his title did not have that in it.

Now, if you do have text, you want

maximum one to three words or none at

all. We go back to Mr. beast page and

let's try and find a title that has more

than three words of text. So day 29

because it's like with a number I'm just

going to say this is one word day 94

this is one word before after this is

two words you got two words here two

words here one word here one word here

one word here and I'm just going to keep

scrolling and scrolling uh and I have

not like scrolled and scroll like this

directly through Mr. channel. It's not

like I used his channel to make

everything I know about YouTube, but I

know that he knows what he's doing to

the point where I would be very

surprised if it's the case. No, I

thought I saw this and I almost thought,

but that's only two words. And right

here, we got eat here, get $10,000, and

we have free food. The free food is part

of the sign, though. So, he has three

words. So, oh, this actually still isn't

more than three words because this is

part of the the signage of the building.

If you want to count this, sure. But

then that took a while, a while to

scroll. And even then, I still think

that wouldn't actually count, but you

get what I mean. Now, you want limited

subjects. Now, subjects are just the

main point of your thumbnail. So, the

subjects can be mainly it's just going

to be like characters, people or

characters or something like that. And

you want one or two subjects. You don't

want more than two, but you can have a

group count as one subject. So, what do

I mean by that? Now, if we scroll

through any of his videos, this has two

subjects, right? Two people here, two

people here, two people here, one person

here, two people here, two people here.

And those aren't even as good

thumbnails. Those are pretty old. Look

at his newer thumbnails, which are

clearly not a lot nicer. You got two

subjects here, two subjects here, one

subject here, two subjects here, one

subject here, two subjects here, two

here, two here, two here, one here, one

here. And now you might see this. Oh,

but there's 100 subjects here. And no,

you actually only have two subjects here

because if you look, groups can count as

one subject if uniform. Meaning, if

they're all dressed the same, they look

the same, then it can count as one

subject because how else can you

represent a group? Now, here's a

channel, for example, that uh one of my

students is running. And here's another

example. What if a modern destroyer

fought at Midway? This video has 800,000

views. And as you can see, there are two

subjects. But you might say, "Oh,

there's a bunch of these subjects, and I

actually helped him create this

thumbnail." And really this is not the

case. All of these planes are exactly

the same. Now this would be really bad

if he did like 20 different types of

planes. But there it's this is done on

purpose that they're all the same plane.

That's not to be lazy. That's done on

purpose. So the planes themselves are

one subject to show a group. By putting

a bunch of these is showing a group.

Same thing here with these ships. It's

showing a group of ships. Same thing

here. You got a group of these little um

I don't even know what you would call

them, but it's it's they all are exactly

the same. Same here with these planes.

Same here with these soldiers. Same here

with these boats. So, you get what I

mean. And if we scroll on Mr. Beast, I'm

sure we can find more that have a group

to show you what I'm saying. So, yes,

this is a group. Once again, look here.

We have two subjects, which is him in

the group. This one I would actually

almost consider three subjects. So, he

broke this rule a little bit here, but

in general, look at these people.

They're wearing the exact same pants,

shirt, feet, and the only difference is

their faces to show that this is a group

of people because this wouldn't make

sense with humans to have the same face

on all of them. So the their clothes are

the same. So you can see that this is

just one subject. And then on the right

here, you have like less of them showing

that, you know, they're slowly fading

away. So here he actually has three

subjects. Here he has two subjects, him

and the mummy. But here, once again, two

subjects because this group of people,

they're all wearing the clothes. So, I'm

just going to highlight um you know,

subjects where they are groups to show

you what I mean. Right here, a group

subject in the background. Here we got

another three subjects. One, two, three.

But either way, he's using the group

thing I'm talking about. In general,

like I say, I I always say use one or

two subjects. Here we got the group as

well. Here's a group of houses. Here's a

group as well. And I'm going to be

honest, I think the reason that Mr.

Beast sometimes has three subjects is

just because he has to put his face in

every thumbnail. So, for example,

there's two main subjects here. And then

he just puts his face so that you know

it's a Mr. Beast video. So, in general,

I feel like that's why he's breaking the

rule. But for anybody watching this,

just in general, always have one or two

subjects. And a subject can be a group.

Now, take up space. Make sure nothing is

cut off. All subjects should be as large

as possible because remember, most

people are viewing on their phone,

right? I got my phone right here. A

phone is really tiny. When I go on

YouTube, look how tiny these thumbnails

are from what you're looking at right

now. And then it's even tinier if I'm on

the suggested of a current video that

I'm watching. And some people have even

smaller devices than that. Some people

have bad vision and a small device. So

you got to keep in mind, make everything

as big as possible. So your two subjects

should take up space on the screen.

There shouldn't be big areas of the

screen that aren't taken up. And then at

the same time, nothing should be cut

off. So going back to Mr. Beast, for

example, he's taking up as much space as

possible. He has this guy right here.

His face is huge. Mr. Beast's face is

huge. and he's not like cutting off this

guy's head at his forehead or something

like that. And if you just look at any

of his thumbnails, you'll see what I

mean by taking space. Like try and find

empty space. Let's say this cheetah

thumbnail, right? The cheetah takes up

the entire left half of the screen and

the right half of the screen is Mr.

Beast and then this car, right? Just

he's taking up so much space. There's no

empty space in any of these thumbnails.

Literally just like I'm going to scroll

through, try finding empty space. And in

none of these does he have like their

heads cut off or anything. Obviously, he

cuts it off at the shoulder level.

That's pretty standard. But just in

general, he has no free space in really

any of these thumbnails. This one, he

has a little bit of free space, but this

makes sense honestly for this video. But

in general, he takes up as much space as

possible as he should. Like for example,

this thumbnail is really great. I really

like this thumbnail a lot actually. This

$1 versus $100 million car. And he's

taking up space perfectly. You know, the

the it's cut off right at the top of

like right like a little bit of space

right above his head. It's cut off right

under his shoulders. And then he has,

you know, these taking up as much space

as possible. So that's really important

as well. And the thing is, if we make

this really tiny, like we zoom out, the

thing is like even from out here, you

can see exact cuz this is what it's like

on mobile. You can see exactly what just

about all of his thumbnails are. And I

guarantee you that he does this. Like

Mr. Beast is doing what I'm showing you

right now, making them really small,

making sure he can see everything or

people on his team, whichever. Now,

although these three are very important,

this is going to be extremely important.

And it's hard to be like, oh, one of

these is more important than the other

because they're all just so important.

You really got to understand all of

these. And this is the color strategy,

which is just use color wheel opposites.

So, if you have one subject, you need

two colors in your thumbnail, right?

Because you have the subject plus the

other colors, the background. If you

have two subjects, you you should have

three colors because you have the two

subjects colors and then the background.

And then the thing is right here, it

says that a subject can be text. Um, in

general it can be if the text is like it

just depends on the type of thumbnail.

In most situations, uh, subjects are

going to be objects or people like how I

just showed with the car and him as the

person. So text isn't typically a

subject. And as a beginner, if you don't

know understand how that would work,

just ignore that because it doesn't

really matter. But in general, text uh,

can be black or it can be white or it

can be like white with a black outline.

That's pretty standard. But then for

your colors, like I said, one subject

means two colors, two subjects means

three colors. So, I'm going to show you

exactly how that would work. So, I

really like this color wheel. Whenever I

I'm making a thumbnail, I always just

have this open on my second monitor.

Even though I know this by heart now, I

still just have it open because I like

the arrows. This just makes everything

very easy to understand. So, if we open

this up here, I'm going to show you

exactly how Mr. Beast uses this color

wheel. So, let's take this thumbnail for

example right here. Click this video to

feed one person. So, I can make this

thumbnail big here. And we can see the

colors he's using is blue, yellow, and

red. And then his own shirt is white.

Now, why is he doing this? We can use

the color wheel to find out. What do you

notice about these bagels or whatever?

They're they're very saturated. They're

a yellowish color. They're kind of like

right in between yellow and orange, but

we're going to say it's yellow cuz I

mean, they look pretty yellow. And he

has in total in his thumbnail, he has

three colors because white isn't going

to count as a color. Obviously, any skin

colors aren't going to count as a color

cuz they're humans. So, we got the bowl

here, we got the bread here, and we got

the shirts. So, there's three colors:

blue, yellow, and red. Notice something

about the color wheel. Blue, yellow, and

red almost form this triangle here. So,

because there's three colors, it's here,

here, and here, which are all primary,

right? If for some reason this go uh

this bowl was green, then the kids would

probably have purple shirts, and then

this bread would be orange. Now, that

probably doesn't make sense cuz super

dark orange bread would look a little

bit weird, but you just to give the

example what I'm trying to say here.

Here's another thumbnail here where he

has blue and orange in this. He has two

main colors here, which is orange and

blue. Notice how orange and blue are

exact opposites because he has two

colors here instead of three. So that's

why he put himself with an orange vest.

Now, if we're in a world where water was

green for some reason, obviously it's

not, but let's say in the in this world,

water was green, then he would be

wearing a red vest here. Now, you can

take really any big channel. Here's like

the infographic show, for example. And

if we load his thumbnail, you can see on

the left side here, he has the blue

background. on the right side here, he

has the orange background because blue

and orange are contrasting. Now, just in

general, it's pretty simple, right? If

you have one subject, have the one

subject, choose their color, what would

make most sense for that, and then make

the background the opposite color on the

color wheel. If you have two subjects,

then do the triangle, right? You want

the two subjects, choose your main

subject, what color they'd be. Then you

have two options for the second subject,

choose that. And then the third color

would have to be the other, you know,

part of the triangle, right? So if your

main subject is wearing a green shirt,

your background should be red.

Realistically, it's probably like you

have a red shirt and a green background.

If you have two people, right, and one's

wearing a blue shirt, one's wearing a

red shirt, then you're going to have a

yellow background. So your colors are

kind of forced based on how many

subjects you have, right? If I have one

subject and I don't know what the color

to be, but let's say my subject is a

blue car, right? If my subject is a blue

car, then and it has to be a blue car. I

don't have another choice. Then my

background has to be orange. Now, if we

go back to the why it sucks to be born

as niche, you're going to see a lot of

these thumbnails where you have a white

background. And it's not just this

niche, but there are many of niches

where when you have like these kind of

cartoon style thumbnails, or there's

just a lot of niches where you'll have a

white background. You'll know based on

if your competitors are doing this. But

if your competitors are doing this, this

is where you have the exception where

you don't have a background. Meaning, if

you have one subject, choose one color.

And then you don't need a contrasting

color in that case. If I had a subject,

let's say they're wearing pants and a

shirt and I only had one subject because

the background was white in the niche

that I'm going for, I'd probably make

his shirt color and his pants color.

This is just a specific scenario. I'd

make them opposite colors, right? So, if

he was wearing a red shirt, then I'd

give him green pants. Now, if you have a

white background here and you have two

subjects, then just make the two

subjects opposite of another. One

subject should be blue and one subject

should be orange or green and red or

purple and yellow. You get the point. So

in general, this is how it works, right?

You got one subject, you got two colors,

and based on your one subject, your

second color has to be the opposite

color. Two subjects, then it would be

that triangle. Um, but if you're in the

case where your niche, you have just a

white background, then one subject would

be one color, two subjects would be two

colors, and they're, you know, they're

uh opposite of each other. Now, just a

general tip. Your thumbnails must be at

minimum the same quality as your

competitors. So, a lot of people will

show me thumbnails and be like, "Is this

a good thumbnail?" And I just look at it

and I'm honestly just in disbelief that

they're even showing it to me. So, if

you if you're a beginner, you really

don't know. Take your competitor's

thumbnails and take your thumbnails and

show them to just random people. And

it's even better to ask people that

don't know much about YouTube, for

example. So, just show both and don't

say which one's yours and have them pick

which one's better. And if they if yours

isn't getting picked at least 50% of the

time, then you are doing something

wrong. And if you join the Tube Gen

Discord server, there's an advice

channel in there. Um, so if you want to

send a message, I can reply to it. So if

anybody wants to just talk to me, but

I'm not in there 24/7, obviously. So

just in case if you really don't

understand, I can always take a look if

necessary. But either way, make sure

your thumbnails at minimum are the same

quality as your competitors because you

got to keep in mind they had the time

advantage on you and the fact that their

videos are already out and yours aren't.

Now, the walk away method, just in

general, walk away from your monitor

until the thumbnail is tiny. Can you

still clearly understand everything and

guess the title from your thumbnail? If

not, that is not good. Or another way is

you could just zoom out really far like

I showed before. But in general, once

you make your thumbnail as well, you

should also ask random people. Send your

thumbnail to random people and be like,

can you guess what the title of this

video will be based on this thumbnail?

And if they're if most people are

getting it right, then you know you did

a good job. Now, we have our niche

selected here. So, I'm going to show you

guys me making the thumbnail for this

niche. But this is completely AI. This

niche is completely made with AI,

including their thumbnails. So, I'm

going to just copy my competitor's

thumbnails here. And with these AI

thumbnails, the thumbnails don't follow

exactly the same rules that I just went

through because they are sleep story

channels. For whatever reason, not every

single niche is going to need super

colorful thumbnails like this. You know,

you're going over something gruesome,

something from the past. This type of

thumbnail makes more sense. But in

general, those rules apply 99% of the

time. So, in the Tube Gen course, I'm

going to show um the other two channels

where I will definitely be going over

everything I just showed you. But in

order to make a thumbnail, AI thumbnail,

you can actually do this on Tube Genen

because if you go to AI tools here, you

can press on the thumbnail generator,

which is how I was loading these

thumbnails in. We can paste this, press

this load button. Now, we have the

thumbnail. You can press analyze, and

it's going to pretty much use AI to

create a description for you. So, now we

got the image description here. And then

we can generate the thumbnail. So I

definitely don't want to generate

exactly the same exact thing. So we're

going to look and see what we can do to

change this up. I literally just changed

the skull from right to left. And now

we're going to generate this thumbnail.

And here's the thumbnail that it spat

out. As you can see, this is like in the

exact same style here. However, this

isn't taking up enough space. So I'm

going to go back and fix up the prompt

to make sure that this is taking up

enough space. So I'm adding in show the

doctor from the shoulders up. Have them

take up most of the right side of the

thumbnail. And then while the skull on

the left, then I'm just adding up

shoulders up as well. Have him take up

most of the left side of the thumbnail.

So there we go. This did exactly what I

wanted to and it fixed up the thumbnail.

So this looks great. Now we zoom out. We

can see what's going on. This did a

great job. And I literally spent less

than a dollar to generate both of those.

So I I spent like 50 or something cents

like that um to generate my thumbnail.

And I didn't have to wait for a

turnaround time from a thumbnail artist

or anything. So, so this is why this is

super great, especially for copying

competitors thumbnails. And this works

in literally any niche, assuming it's

not using like real people's faces. And

even then, we're going to add that at

some point. So, now just because we have

the thumbnail done does not mean we are

done because we still have the AVD,

which is the average viewer duration.

And if your AVD is bad, guess what? You

might start getting impressions because

you have a good title and you might get

some more impressions because you have a

good thumbnail, but you might be getting

1,000 views max if your AVD is just not

good. So, I'm going to go over how to

make your AVD uh AVD good. I'm going to

go over the target AVD that um I've seen

perform well. So, just in general, if

you have an 8minute video, and 8 minute,

by the way, is the minimum I would

recommend making your long form videos.

And the reason for this is because once

you hit that 8 minute mark, um you're

going to get mid roll ads in your video.

So, if your video is literally 7 minutes

and 59 seconds versus you have the exact

same video, just 1 second longer and

it's 8 minutes. Here is the difference.

On the 7 minute 59 second video, YouTube

is going to place an ad, I believe, just

at the start of your video, maybe at the

end of your video, but there's going to

be like one ad, I believe, is the way it

works. One or two ads in the video. To

be honest, I'm not even completely sure

exactly how many ads are placed because

I never do any content underneath 8

minutes. I just know that you do not

have the customizability to put ads

wherever you want. And this is a big

problem because your RPM is going to be

significantly different the second you

can manually place ads. And if you want

to, you can place a 100 ads in your

video. Just keep in mind when you place

ads, it has, I believe, between a 20 and

40% chance of being played. So if you

have, let's say, 100 ads in your video,

then 40 between 20 and 40 ads will play.

Obviously, you shouldn't have 100 ads in

your video, but that's uh just an

example. So with an 8minute video, a

good AVD is 45%. Like you should be

aiming for 45% minimum on your videos.

Now, keep in mind just in general when

you first start your channel, this is

your first video, second, third video.

It is pretty normal to see like 5% less

than thisish um because it can go up

over time. Now, it's a brand new

channel, YouTube's trying to find your

audience. So, if this is a little bit

lower on your first few videos, that is

pretty normal actually. But this is the

target once like you're already getting

impressions. Like if you got impressions

on your first two videos, it's like your

third video or so after getting

impressions should already start to meet

these goals. So, for 8 minutes, it's

like you should be getting 45% minimum

on your videos, and that's the goal. If

you're getting under 45%, obviously, if

it's like 44, it's fine. But this is the

goal. It's 45%. It's like when I press

that upload button, I want to see the

minimum as 45%. Otherwise, I didn't do a

great job. And then 50% would be great.

is like if I have an 8-minute video and

I got like a 51% AVD and that means

especially if I had a good title and a

good thumbnail to give me those starting

impressions. If I have a 51% AVD, I know

the video is going to blow up because

51% AVD is insane. Like based on your

AVD, that's kind of how much your video

is going to blow up. So it's like that's

the last stage and that's the stage that

can really expand your video to blow up.

So it's like you have a 45% AVD, that's

good. This just means it's getting

pushed in the algorithm. But it's like

if it's 50% and then you're, you know,

you pass the first few stages to get

into the algorithm here that we just

went over, then 50% you're getting shot

into the algorithm. Like this is putting

you into the algorithm. You know, your

video is going to continue getting

recommended. It's not going to like halt

it, right? If you if you had a bad AVD,

your impressions will halt. 45% they'll

continue. 50% they are going to

skyrocket, right? So with a 15minute

video, you get a little bit more

leniency. So I'd say around 40% is good.

That's the goal. and 45% is great. You

have a 30 minute video, 35% is good. 40%

is great. You have an hourong video, 30%

is good. 35% on an hourong video is

pretty great. If you have a 2-hour long

video, 25% is good. 30% is great. Now,

if you want to figure out the in

between, like you got a 12-minute video,

just go in between this. Like this is

very simple. You got a 20-minute video,

22-minute video, go in between these

two. So, I have these here. If you want

to write this down or you want to

screenshot this, this is a pretty good

reference. Um, of course, this is going

to depend on your niche as well, right?

If your niche just has a really really

high AVD like your competitors do, then

of course these numbers are going to

change, but this is pretty standard. So,

if we're not talking like all these

exception rules, um, this is like 80 90%

of channels. So, this is what I would

say is a good reference point. Now, you

might be asking, why are longer videos

winning here? Like why on a 120-minute

video can I get 30% is great but then

you know 45% is only good on an 8-minute

video right how how this is a 15%

difference and it's because right here I

wrote YouTube is more lenient with lower

AVD now here's the reason why on longer

videos because viewers still watch more

total minutes aka more ads right and if

we go to the very start of this whole

thing you know the core truth is that

YouTube makes money primarily through ad

revenue right So, if you're looking at

it from a business perspective, their

goal is simple. Have as many ads watched

as possible to maximize revenue. So, if

you have a 2-hour long video with a

great AVD, aka 30%. That means 36

minutes were watched, which is going to

be 5 to 15 ads viewed. Now, I typically

do an ad every minute 30 or 2 minutes

depending on the niche when I manually

place it. Like 0 minutes, 2 minutes, 4

minutes, for example. So, for me, 36

minutes would be 18 ads, which would be

somewhere between 6 and eight ads

watched. I just wrote five to 15 here as

a generalized amount. But if YouTube is

seeing okay the average viewer not

because right if somebody watched the

whole video like they're watching a lot

of ads but if the average viewer is

watching six seven or eight ads without

even clicking on a different video

because you got to realize once somebody

is done with the video let's say it's a

shorter video and they watch two ads and

they finish the whole video there's only

two ads in the whole video. they watch

that full video and then between them

finishing that video and going to the

next video, there's a very high chance

that the user is going to click off

because that they're done. They feel

like they're done with the content,

maybe they want to click off. So then

YouTube's just losing that viewer. So by

keeping them on a video that's longer,

they're essentially rather than having

them go to one video then go to then

have them risk losing that viewer

between going from the first video to

the second video. Right? If you have,

you know, six 10-minute videos or 20

10-minute videos, there's a much higher

chance somebody's going to watch a a

2-hour long video versus 20 10-minute

videos in a row, right? So, because of

that, that is why YouTube really pushes

long content. They're more lenient on

the AVD. And just in general, YouTube

likes pushing long content. Like, the

longer your content is, the better. And

something that I didn't write here, but

this is a big mistake I see because I'll

tell people this and they will take this

so the wrong way and they make their

scripts longer. They add more filler

words. It's like almost like when you're

in school and it's like, "Okay, you got

to have a 3,000word essay and then your

essay's 2,500 words, so you just go in

and add stuff to your script." No, that

is not what you should be doing. You

should be copying your competitors. And

if you upload longer content than them,

you're going to do better. But that's if

you add more content. Not take the

content that you would have had and then

just add filler, but adding more

content. So let's say you have a

15-minute video, you don't just go in

and make that 15-minute video longer by

just adding more to the script. You add

another section to the script. So you

add more content. So pretty much what

you should be doing is just in general,

if you want a good AVD, you need good

pacing. So you need to be able to create

videos where it's not filler content

like everything is like snap snap snap

getting to the point. It's uh whatever

your topic's about. You know, your video

is not filler words. It's not filler

content that doesn't relate to the

video. You just add as much content as

you can. And your goal should be to

squish that as much as possible because

the more rapid paced your content is,

the better the AVD is. Um so if you can

take a topic, let's say we're doing the

history of America, we want to take the

entirety of the history of America and

make that as small as possible. And if

if we can make it as small as possible,

like it literally cannot be shorter,

otherwise we would just be losing

content. That's kind of the goal. So, if

your competitors do 15-inute long videos

and you can get enough information on

the history of America where when you

squeeze it down all the way it's 20

minutes, that's the goal. You don't do a

15-minute video and then try to extend

it. That's a really bad idea because

then you'll get low EVD and you think

you're cheating the system because

YouTube likes longer videos and then

because your AVD is bad, it doesn't

matter that your video was longer. And

just in general, title and thumbnail do

impact your AVD because when your video

delivers exactly what the title and

thumbnail promises, viewers stick around

longer, which that's not a surprise,

right? You get better retention if the

thumbnail, the title work together,

right? It's not like a totally different

thumbnail to the title and then that's

what the video is about. If everything

all three of those actually work

together, not and aren't like separate

entities that are totally unrelated,

then guess what? If somebody is seeing

the title they pressed on the video and

that's the video is exactly what the

title said, they're going to stick

around. And if somebody only looked at

the thumbnail and pressed on the video

and it's exactly what they thought it'd

be, they're going to stick around. But

guess what? If they click on it and it's

not what they expected, they're going to

click off. which even if a lot of people

end up watching your video, when you

have kind of thumbnails or titles that

are misleading to what your video is

actually about, what ends up happening

is yes, maybe even if your content's

good, a lot of people will watch the

full video, but enough people will just

click off in the first 10 seconds that

your AVD is going to lower a lot because

it's the average, right? It's the

average viewer duration, not just the

one time who viewed the most video

duration is the average. So, if you got

a 100,000 views, that's accounting for

people who watch half the video, the

full video, just the first 10 seconds.

So, you got to keep that in mind, which

is why your hook is really important

because if your hook is so bad that

people are clicking off in the first 10

seconds of your video, that's just

impacting your AVD so negatively. Now,

how do you structure your content? Well,

this is pretty similar to the

thumbnails. Literally, just copy

everything your competitors are doing.

And in a niche like the AI niche that I

just showed you guys, I'm going to start

and I'm going to show you guys me

creating that video. But what I'm about

to say doesn't apply to the niche I just

showed you guys. But in general, like if

it's a 10-minute long niche, like the

niche has average 10-minute videos or

20-minute long videos. I'm not even

joking. The amount of times where I will

get a Google document or a physical

notepad and I'll watch their entire

video multiple times. I'll watch like

their most popular video or I'll watch

their outlier video, right? You sort by

latest and then watch the uh the outlier

video. And what I'll do is I'll watch

the first minute and I'll write 0 to 60

seconds. Here's what happened. Here's

what happened. And I do that for enough

of their videos, multiple videos, I'll

look at maybe two, three, four of their

outlier videos. And I'll try and find

the structure. Okay, their intro is all

on average from zero to 10 seconds of

the video. It's only 10-second long

intro. Then the first segment of their

video, the first part of the topic

they're talking about is 10 seconds to

let's say 1 minute in. Then topic two is

from 1 minute to 3 minutes 47. Like I am

telling you, I do all of that. I add

extra notes. Like they do this little

edit editing gimmick every like 30

seconds. They do this, they do this. And

like the more de the more you do it

right, you take three or four of their

outlier videos. And this might sound

like BS, but I guarantee you to

whoever's watching and is taking this

business seriously, the people that do

this are going to succeed. And if you

don't do this, there's a much lower

chance that you succeed. I mean, if

you're this far into the video, maybe

you're good anyways. But trust me, if

you do this, you'll see a big

difference. I promise you, I've done

this several times. and I write out as

detailed as I can all the sections,

everything that happens, all the little

things I can notice. And then I analyze

all of the documents and create a

structured template. And that's going to

be sent to if I have an editor, the

editor, or it's going to be used for

myself uh when I go and create videos.

And the goal is literally to just copy

your competitor's um style exactly

because if they're getting views,

they're doing something right with their

AVD. So if we can mimic their AVD, then

we should be good. Right. Now, inside of

TubeGen's niche finder, what I can

actually do is I can actually just

search up his channel at. So, I just

took his at here because I lost it. I

refreshed the the niche finder. You can

search up the channel, and we still have

this similar channels button. If we

want, we can press this. But what I

really like is this button right here.

Copies down. Now, if you have niches

that you want to bookmark, you can

bookmark them to see how they're doing.

Let's say by their next upload or

whatever. And then, you know, once

you're back in your search here, you can

check the bookmarks. But pretty much

right here, there's this button here

that says copy style. And when I press

this, it's going to load for like 10

seconds because it's doing something

really cool. Now it says successfully

created style. Uh I can't even pronounce

this because it's not in English. But

now we go to AI tools, go to the YouTube

automator, or you could just press on

this right here, the logo. And this

takes us here. Now, if I press on this

red style button, I have a lot of styles

here. And you can create a new style

and, you know, put in the name, add in

reference videos, and this is pretty

much going to download all of their

YouTube transcripts, look at their

latest videos, their outlier videos as

well. and it's going to pretty much

create a style that has the same word

count. It uses a similar AI voice and

pretty much you can make the style

yourself. You can name your style

whatever you want. Add reference videos

and it's going to copy their scripts,

you know, uh, put whatever word count

you want. But by copying their style, it

actually makes the style for me. So, if

I press the edit button here, this is

what it automatically did. It put the

style name as a channel. It put the word

count to their average word count. It

put the right language. And it even

chose a voice for me that's the most

similar to their voice. and it put their

two best outlier videos right here and

it just did everything for me. Like I

didn't have to do anything. Like

literally I just went here and boom, I

can already go and create my script. Now

I'm going to press on here, press

generate title by channel URL and I

literally just copy and paste their

channel URL and put this right here. Now

this gives me a bunch of titles, but

honestly because I have no idea what

these titles say, I don't want to, you

know, try and read them. So I'm just

going to go to his channel, go to his

latest videos, and go to his latest

outlier video, which we already

discussed was this one. We already

created the thumbnail for it, right? We

have the thumbnail right here. And then

I'm just going to because you can

manually put in a title. You don't have

to use the title generator. It's more

of, you know, if you just feel like it.

Uh we can turn on web search or whatever

we want. And if we want to listen as

well, by the way, to this voice, I'll

play it so you guys can hear it.

>> And just so you guys have a generalized

idea, for an entire like two to three

hour long video, the estimated script

credits with premium, this is less than

like this is like $25 for the entire

script. Imagine you tried getting an

actual script writer. Just for

reference, an average script writer pays

like or sorry costs I think typically I

do around 20 to $30 per thousand words.

So if it was $25, that'd be 425 for the

script. Obviously this guy's not using

um a script writer either. He's

definitely using AI. Maybe he's using

Tube Gen to be honest with you. But then

all we have to do is generate. So

literally it was so quick. I went from

the niche finder, right? I copied the

style by pressing the button and all I

did is press the style. Now this is

green. And then I copy and pasted his

title. So from going to the niche

finder, I got to this point. You could

do this if you wanted to in less than 10

seconds. Obviously, you should be

double-checking stuff, making sure you

like the style, voice, and all that. But

I'm just saying like it it's pretty

quick. And then all you have to do is

press this generate button. No prompt

needed, no nothing because Tube Gen does

everything for you, including reading

their transcripts, making yours exactly

the same. Within 10 seconds of me

pressing the generate button, it's

already like 1,000 words in, and it

writes pretty quick. We're already about

to be at 1,100

now. But yeah, I mean this is a

three-hour video, so it is going to take

a little bit to write it. But this

shouldn't take any longer than like five

minutes. Now that our script is done,

and I can't read any of it because it's

in German, but I quite frankly don't

care. It is 17,200 words, which is only

100 off of 17,00. That is pretty good.

Now, all we have to do to create the

voiceover, it's not like we got to, you

know, copy and paste that, open a new

tab. Nope. You just press this button

right here, and it's going right to

generate our voice over, which is super

super fast. The entire voice over will

probably be done in like 5 minutes. So

now our voice over is done. It's 5

minutes off of being or actually four

minutes off being 3 hours long. Let's

take a listen to it.

>> Yeah, all these Germans, they going to

be falling asleep to this content and

I'm going to be collecting that ad

revenue. As you can see, this just auto

downloaded as well. Now we can actually

go over to generate images and once we

press this, it's going to open up a

dashboard here and we have a ton of

options we can choose from. You can

upload your own image style. It looks

like they're just using a painting image

style. So, I'm not going to use custom

image because it does or sorry, custom

style because it does take longer to

load the images. So, I'm just going to

select painting here. And it looks like

he's using an image every 5 minutes. So,

for a 3hour long video, that's 175

minutes. So, I'm just going to set the

number to 36 to make this around every 5

minutes. And we can even press the

animate option and animate the first few

if we wanted to. But in this case, our

competitor isn't doing that. So I don't

see the need to do that. You can also

add additional context if you want to

say make sure all the people in the

images are wearing a hat or something.

Then we just press this generate prompts

button. But before that, in case

anybody's interested, you could also

turn on advanced mode here. And then

make segments. So from 0 to 1 minute,

you have 20 images. And then from 1

minute to the 3 hour mark, you have 20

images. So that's like a lot of images

in the start, etc. But there's a you can

press this button here. And you know,

there's a whole entire tutorial on how

to use this as well. But we don't need

to do all that for this. For this, we're

just going to press generate prompts.

And we're going to press continue. And

just so you're wondering, for the

three-hour long script, three-hour long

voice over, plus all of the images every

5 minutes in here, this is probably

going to cost less than $10 per video.

Even if we uploaded a video every single

day, which our competitor here is not

doing at all. He's uploading a video

once or twice a week. So, in this case,

that a twice a week would be, you know,

maybe $20 a week. This would be less

than $100 a month to run. If I want to

do every day, this would be maybe $300 a

month to run. And this guy's channel has

probably made like 15 grand or something

like that. And it's barely barely two

months old at this point. So, you know,

the profit margin there. Somebody do the

math. It's got to be like very very high

because 10% of 3,000 is 300. So, it is

like significantly over 90%. It's like

97%. So, pretty much what that generate

prompts button did is first of all, it

gives us our very first image here. It

also gives us the prompt it used to

create this image. So if we want to, we

can press download image or we can press

regenerate and we can type in the prompt

here or change it. You know what I mean?

And if you press this arrow here, it

tells you what part of the script you're

using. So it uses this whole section.

Keep in mind if you did an image every 5

seconds, it would be like one sentence

per image. But because this is five

minutes, it's summarizing this entire

section into one image. Uh I don't know

what it says because it's in German.

Like I said, I'm going to stop saying

that. But um but that this would be in

English if you did an English channel.

And then if you want to this is pretty

much to say hey do you like this image

or would do you want to go back because

you know you pretty much just spent like

1 cent doing this or you know do you

like it and you generate the rest. If

you want to as well you can press the

arrow here read the script that it's a

part of the script that it's using and

you can change the prompt if you want.

So if you can pretty much view the time

stamp. So this is from 433 to 8:41. You

can view the timestamps, view the part

of the script, change the prompting. But

in my case, I already know that this

platform works and this is very simple

type of channel. So I don't really need

to do all that. I can just go ahead and

press generate 35 more images. And now

it's going to take all these prompts,

generate the images for me, and it's

actually going to time them out for me.

And if you don't know what that means,

you're about to find out once this is

done generating, which it's already 42%

done. Because it's only 36 images. This

is going to take less than 1 minute 100%

to generate all of them. And if I scroll

here, I can actually see all the images.

Now I can regenerate whichever ones I

want. If I want to change up the

prompting, I can press here and it shows

me which part of the script. It tells me

the time stamp. And now imagine, for

example, if I want to put this from

270210

to 3233.99

and I have 36 of these. Now imagine I

had 200 images, like I was doing a

faster paced video, I'd have to go in my

editor, do from 0 seconds to 7.39, and

that would probably take multiple hours.

Um, which is why we have this render

videos button, which pretty much when

you press this, it's going to take all

of the images and make it this time

length. So, it's going to make, you

know, this image, for example, it's

going to make it what? It's going to

make it 5 minutes, 21 seconds, and 89

milliseconds or whatever the exact

number is. It's going to render all them

out. So then that way, I'll have a

folder of all these just images that are

now turned into exactly timed videos.

And then you can literally just drag all

of the videos into your video editor and

it will be perfectly timed to match your

voice over. Now, after pressing that

render videos button, we get a bunch of

different things inside of this folder.

So, this videos folder, however, is

going to have what we're looking for.

Now, obviously, you get all this other

stuff which you might not need, of

course, besides the voice over, but we

already downloaded that before. So, this

is all pretty much just backup stuff in

case you need it. So, we go in this

videos tab, and then we are going to

literally just drag and drop this,

right? We're going to drag and drop it.

And as you can see, this is now in my

timeline. You can use any editor for

this. We're actually going to be

creating a tube gen editor soon. So, you

don't even have to have an editor, but

this could be on Da Vinci. This could be

Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas. Literally, any

editing software. It really doesn't

matter cuz you're just putting this

stuff together. Now, let's just grab our

voice over uh from this folder. I mean,

we have it in our downloads as well, but

this works, too. And as you can see, now

that I dragged it in, this is at the

exact same ending point. And although

this and this is perfectly timed. So, as

you can see, if I play this, this is

what it's going to look like.

Now, what I'm going to do personally is

look for one of these longer videos

here. Let's say this one. And in most

editors, you can do this where we can

take the scale, add a timer, the

position, and then just go to the end of

this. And then we can maybe make this,

you know, 135. So, it's zoomed in. And

we can make it go to the top left, for

example, like that. And now if I mute

the audio and just like skim through

this slowly, it's slowly zooming in and

moving just to have something for the

viewer to look at, you know, just so

it's not a flat image. And then we can

just copy and paste this motion. Once

again, like I said, once we have a video

editor in Tube Gen, you will be able to

do this as well, just with the simple

press of a button. But let's paste that.

And now, as you can see, if I skim

through this whole video, it's going

between. And then it's as simple as

pressing, for Premiere at least,

pressing Ctrl D. And now what that does

is that makes it so everything is faded

into each other. So as you can see if I

go over this it now fades. So

everything's zooming in then it fades.

If I go over it slowly you can see and

it I think that what took less than 15

seconds to add all the effects and

transitions and the whole video is done.

Now I would export it but I'm going to

show you guys just what this looks like

with this slowly moving and with the you

know the voice over and the fade in. So

it looks like this.

And as you can see, I'm not going to

play the whole thing, but it was slowly

slowly. It's it's moving very slow, of

course, because these uh images are

pretty much a few minutes long each. But

now, as you can see, we have a whole

3-hour long video. And it's not like it

took us 3 hours to make that video. It

took us 15 minutes to make the whole

3-hour long video, including going from

finding the niche, pressing on, you

know, create style, etc. And as I

mentioned before, with a Tube Genen

subscription comes with a two times

longer version of this video where I go

in things even more in depth. So this

channel was made entirely with Tube Gen.

I'm going to be showing a niche that,

you know, you can hire an editor for,

how to hire an editor. I'll show you

live how to do all that stuff. And like

I said, this all comes with a

subscription. And the most most

important thing, I'm going to be showing

you some stuff that I probably can't

even say on YouTube. So I couldn't post

it here if I wanted to. And it's pretty

much secret methods that you can use to

get to pretty much boost your videos

into the algorithm. number one. Number

two, make sure you don't get banned on

YouTube ever. How to upload your video

and optimize and how to use your

statistics to further create more

channels and make better videos. I mean,

there's a whole list. I mean, think

about how long this video is, and it's

probably two times longer in the Tube

Gen course. And you get that with any of

the subscriptions. Same with the

nicheinder. And I hope if you've made it

this far and watch everything that I've

had to say, you're convinced at this

point. And if you've made it this far,

then you're lucky because I actually

have a link in the description that I'm

not mentioning till now that it's my

referral link so you can actually get

some money off of your first month with

TubeGen. Thank you guys so much for

watching this video. Peace.
