 Sunday afternoon just checking the mail Amazon Prime. Thank you. I don't know what this is Let's talk about it. I made 20 cents on YouTube Yeah, I mean I made 20 cents. It's not a lot of money, but I Can now say I'm making money on YouTube I should really invest in the ND filter because it is Super sunny. So yeah, there's been a lot of buzz at least on my news feed and a lot of people that I have talked to about YouTube growth hacking how to really monetize on YouTube and use a platform to the fullest Well, I didn't hack anything. I didn't pay someone to give me subscribers I didn't be lazy about it. Essentially what I did was rated videos. I think it's really from one simple thing Several other factors do apply, but I think mainly it's doing the work in creating a video That's what I want to talk about today monetizing and how I got 20 cents on YouTube before I do that though This is my new toy and take it off for a spin. It's on It's on that was super lame boys. Let's break it down. Okay. It is it's not a lot of money but 20 cents is 20 cents money is money It gives me a fire in a drive to continue to make Better content to continue to make better videos who I do with 20 cents, you know If this screenshot that you're seeing right now essentially is breaking down my overall just analytics So far. Yes getting monetized is awesome And you know finally reaching that goal of a thousand subscribers your goal on YouTube and your goal to create content Shouldn't be to get more money or to become famous. That's certainly not my goal personally I like to create these tutorials, you know, I love tech. I love vlogging and I like just filming different aspects of my life I just want to make meaningful. I've realized there's a collective idea and collective Theme being taught on YouTube and that's really just focus on your content focus on putting out daily videos focus on finding your niche and Driving it driving that hard as as far as the growth hack Yes, some of those ideas and techniques can work for a short period of time But I've just personally found out that more content needs to more views more people looking at my stuff And then be interacting with people on YouTube and that's what I've done I've used the YouTube platform to further my subscribers my view count on my own channel And so I have not done any growth hacking. I don't pay anyone to give me more subscribers more view time I don't pay anyone. I don't do any third-party outsourcing. I just create my content I try to put as much production value as I can and I make it look good And I hope that I can make it sound good And I hope that I can bring some sort of meaningful content to the video for the viewer for you When someone says or when I see a title, I gained a thousand subscribers in a day where I gained 60,000 in two months. It's just it's I'm weary of those titles and I'm weary of those methods because if that were the case Everyone could follow those techniques like these videos have thousands of views with millions and thousands of subscribers So if it were that easy, why isn't everyone doing it? Well, I've tried some of those techniques and they just don't they give you short-term highs in the likes and Comments and subscribers with after a month. Those subscribers are gone There's less retention rates and in view rates for me that sort of a play is not Ideal and it's not a good strategy for my YouTube business because I run my YouTube as a business My content creation should be run as a business. I just I love creating content. I love getting better at video at photography I'm showing you guys the process of all of that. That's really what YouTube creation should be all about and From there I think what I have done all these steps that I've been taking have led me to getting monetized again It's not a lot. It's 20 freaking cents. It's 20 cents It's not a lot of money. It's literally two dimes not even a quarter. I'm not even getting paid a quarter yet I'm happy about the content. I'm making you got to be happy with making your content And so when someone says growth hack or when someone says make your YouTube grow fast, I Just don't know I question it and keep on creating the content that you like to create and hopefully you can make 20 cents If not more anyway guys that is all for today. I hope that helped Give a little perspective as to where I'm coming from with my content creation and again Thank you so much for watching the channel. Thank you so much for contributing to my 20 cents Thank you so much. I will catch you next time. I'm a Johnny to channel peace You
