 Okay guys, I think I got this now. I don't know if you can hear me I want to make sure you can let me get to my channel here And see if I can hear myself We had a little bit of a glitch Just a little bit of a glitch today And I want to make sure Looks like I've got some sound now You see here If you can hear me Okay, I think everything's working. I think it's finally working Am I right? Let me know in the comments if I'm right. Let me know if you could actually hear me Let's see what's going on It was definitely a glitch Okay, yes, I hear volume on my end now. There you go. That's a technical difficulty You know if you're if you're working online, you're gonna have technical difficulties And that's exactly what I just had with a technical difficulty. I tried to switch cameras today I've got this other Logitech camera and I guess when I switched the camera itself it also took away the audio So we don't want that to happen. Okay, we want we want to make sure you can hear me Well, what's the point in having a video without audio? but also You know when I went offline everybody disappeared everybody was gone. Oh my gosh. It doesn't work But you know what? Now it does work and now I am streaming live and since I am I might as well get on with my story Okay, so I was watching a video To be young lady before I started this morning And I was it was about how much she earns on her channel and she has one and a half million Subscribers which that's pretty huge. I mean one and a half millions a lot And she was revealing what she made on her YouTube channel and she actually has a couple little channels But between the two channels She had made about two hundred and seventy two hundred eighty thousand dollars in ad revenue Which is pretty good money and you go well jeez I'd love to have two hundred and seventy two hundred eighty thousand dollars in ad revenue I mean that would be awesome if I could have that But understand the only way you're gonna have that is if you record a video, okay? I promise you in the beginning she had no viewers and she had no Subscribers and she had no income and she just started doing videos and that's basically what you got to do And the other thing is when you're doing this stuff when you're trying to build an audience And you're trying to get people to listen to you. You're gonna run into roadblocks The lots of roadblocks. I mean I've run into tons and tons of roadblocks. We have roadblocks every single day But I just had one right? I just tried to go live and the video didn't work And I was like oh darn that video didn't work and So I could have got up from my office I could have left and said well that didn't work out today Or I could sit here and try to fix it and make sure it works so that you guys end up with a video And I stick to my word about showing up every single day at 9 a.m. Which it's now a way past 9 a.m But it's because I had a glitch Glitches will hurt you if you let them that's it Glitches will help you if you let them and that's the truth, too. So do me a favor guys Let's see here Put here if you can hear me and tell me what your day looks like Okay, so I'm gonna get this chat going guys. I want you to really participate in that chat That means so much to me because when you participate in that chat It gets more distribution for the video, you know more people see it more people You know YouTube will show it to more people so that's super important now I will tell you when you do videos on YouTube I've got videos that have over 50,000 views, which is not a you know not a ton But I mean 50,000 people saw it and then I've got videos that make you know get 10 views and You know, I think a lot of people tend to focus on those videos They get 10 views or no views whatsoever one or two and they go well This doesn't work people don't like me nothing I can do about this and nothing could be further from the truth The thing you can do about that is just keep doing content keep doing content. I did a video Yesterday we recorded this one And it was my wife and she did the one chip challenge, which I don't know if you know what the one chip challenges I talked about this the other day on here But the one chip challenge is this chip called the pocket chip super super hot super hot I mean this is for people who really really like hot food, right? And she was gonna do the challenge and understand she doesn't even like pepper on her food Doesn't like any spicy food whatsoever But she knew that that would probably get a lot of views and she's like yeah, I'll do it I'll embarrass myself a little bit. You know, I'll try something on camera and that's exactly what she did And in doing so that's probably gonna be a great video But also I want you I want you to make a middle note of something That was on Sunday. Okay, I'm not supposed to work on Sundays, right? I'm not supposed to work on Saturdays, right? all those things Let's see here Jim just commented here. I'm still getting comments on the other video that didn't work Okay, that's that's something else different. So The point is guys, you've got to overcome all these obstacles Okay, you're gonna have all these obstacles in running your business and starting your business. This stuff is gonna happen But you know, it's like Shelby Church, you know, right now She's you know making three hundred thousand dollars a year basically and she was also saying that which I thought was interesting She was saying that On her channel She gets what's called sponsored videos where brand deals will come up to you and say hey make a video on this subject Or this subject for us and we'll pay you money right now the minimum the minimum she'll accept is ten thousand dollars But she says a lot of times it's twenty thousand dollars. So that's not bad money. Okay, that's not bad money at all If you could make twenty thousand dollars on a video and I'm gonna switch my screen here so I can see something here the other thing she talked about which a lot of you guys have asked me about is CPM and what CPM is and CPM basically is you know What you earn on your video per thousand views and her CPM was three dollars and ninety two cents now The reason it's low and that is on the low end is because you know, she does a vlog of her life Okay, and how do you target people who watches a vlog of a young lady's life? You can't is the answer My CPM right now is eighteen dollars and some change Which is pretty good. I mean, that's pretty good But all I talk about is making money. So mine is all finance. So everything I talk about is finance and finance is the highest CPM on YouTube that you're gonna get paid more for that than anything else and it can range as low as a dollar You know, if you're watching like videos that are like prank videos or something those lines those don't make any money They just don't they don't make much money So it all depends on what you're making a video on so if you're thinking about making videos You want to make money on YouTube? Understand that certain videos make a whole lot more money than other videos do a whole whole lot more money So that's entirely up to you what you want to do it on But understand you're gonna have glitches. I started today I started this video today and guess what today happened. It didn't work. Okay. I had a glitch Okay, this video did not work out And I had no sound and the few people that were in there kind of bowled out, which I understand They can't hear anything. Why should they stay? But the thing you can do in a situation like that is you can come back and do it again and again and till you get it Right, so I did get my volume working, which was nice See a couple people coming in now, which is nice. I want to hear your comments guys your comments mean so much your questions mean so much and It's it's your opportunity also to ask questions about all this stuff It's your opportunity to get your questions answered It's your opportunity to ask somebody who sold stuff online now these live videos I do get a whole lot more views after I do them because I realize you know at 9 o'clock On a Monday morning, most people are at work. They can't sit here and watch a video now There's a whole lot more people at home now than there used to be however Let's see here. You've seen a bunch of oh, okay, Billy sent me something with video editors to the old bunch of stuff But I'm gonna get a whole lot more views on a video that I schedule and it's all optimized and all that stuff Then if you know I'm just going live on a Monday morning because it's tough for people to go live on a Monday morning So if you have any questions about that post them in the chat section there if you're watching this video after I do it You can certainly put those questions in the comment section, okay? That's gonna that's gonna appear after I do a live video It will not be here when I'm doing a lot of video The only thing you can use then is chat and then that chat section Which is where I can converse back and forth with you live will disappear After this is published and it will switch over to comments. Okay, and that's the only way you can say anything I think it's important If you if you're gonna do some videos a lot of people want to do videos If you're gonna do videos that you learn about it There's so many ways to learn. I guess the simplest way is the freeway And I don't mean the interstate out there where all the cars are I mean the free resources like you can actually go to YouTube and you can actually watch videos on how to do videos Okay, which is kind of a funny thing And I know that helped me a lot because I had bad lighting in the beginning the lighting was terrible Terrible and I didn't realize how important the lighting was now. I've got a whole bunch of lights They're all around me now And that helps my videos a whole lot more with the good lighting good audio also matters a whole lot too That's a very important thing also So I'm gonna probably duck out now. We got a lot of stuff to do today a lot of work to do today I apologize for the first video audio not working. I don't know what happened. I couldn't tell you I'm not a technical person. It just didn't work, but this is working now and that's a good thing So the other thing I'm gonna tell you is you're gonna get before I get out of here You're gonna get some negative comments No matter what you do a video on no matter what your opinion is no matter how nice you are how mean you are It doesn't matter. You're gonna get some negative comments Expect those some people are negative and the way they get it out is they take it out on other people online It's just the way it is now if I have like a real jerk or something like that in the chat section I'll just block them. I'll worry about it. You know, they don't exist in my life anymore It's that simple and you can do the same thing But you're gonna get I mean every now and then if somebody has like a nasty comment like, you know Your sound was bad or I don't like the way you said that I may talk to them. I say hey, I appreciate your input What is it? You think I could improve? What is it? You think I could do? So, you know, it doesn't hurt Sometimes to leave some of those negative comments because you know what some of them could be right Okay, maybe they told you the right thing when I first started I did some videos and they were real quick and upbeat You know like a minute or two long and tons of energy and a guy says you sound like I'd use car salesman Which was funny because I came from the car business car business for years But yeah, he was kind of right. So I said hey, thanks for the comment. By the way, you nailed it I was at one point in the car business So sometimes people can put in these comments in there and they can actually help you out even if they're negative Not all negative input is wrong Hmm not all negative input is wrong Some of it surely is just mean people and I get that But not all of it is wrong. So, you know, listen to it, you know with a grain of salt Don't take it in too much. Don't let it hurt your feelings because it's just comments It's just somebody's opinion of you and that doesn't really matter. It really doesn't matter. It doesn't mean any difference So guys, thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it.
