How do people make money from the internet? From Youtube videos?
The biggest difficulty is translating the knowledge into ACTION. Just become FIERCE and DECIDE to do it.
Step 1. Get a good camera. A wearable camera is best like a GoPro Hero or similar. You can easily use the camera on your phone to start with though so need need to rush out and spend money on equipment right now. Learn this process and get better at it and you will realise when you need better equipment for certain things.
Got it? OK.
- Whatever you do in your normal daily lives, whether it's as a car mechanic, student, makeup artist, painter, gardener, cook, waiter ... whatever you do in your daily lives is PERFECT FOR CREATING GREAT CONTENT. If you are changing the oil in your car, do a good clear recording of it with a commentary in English or in your own language and you can add subtitles later (additional effort). You will change the oil and at the same time tell your camera what you are doing each step of the way. Show the Oil you are going to use and why you selected it for your car. Show how you check the oil and how you drain the oil. Describe each bolt and which way to turn it and with which size wrench or spanner or other tool you use. As you become more experienced, you can add some humor or commentary. Make it informative and intelligent so that anyone can use it to change the oil in that car.
Oil Changed? OK. - Create your Youtube channel. Use a name that you are comfortable being known as, even 10 years from now. Set it up properly, no scams or weird stuff, this is YOU and your own ORIGINAL CONTENT.
- Upload your video and THIS IS IMPORTANT, NAME IT PROPERLY. In this example, "Changing the Oil on my 2012 Suzuki Swift" or " Lazy Sunday Oil change on Suzuki Swift 2012" or something like that. It has to describe the CONTENT. This allows the algorithms to index the content properly and link to it in an intelligent manner, so if someone wants to know how to change the oil on their Suzuki swift 2012, they can see what tools they will need, what oil they should use, where the sump plug is etc. They will be pointed to your video by the search engines because you named it properly.
Uploaded? OK, basics done, but that's not all. - You should upload videos REGULARLY. Between 1 and 3 videos per day is the MAXIMUM you should do. One a day is amazing but 2 or 3 a week is very good. The videos don't have to be related to each other AT ALL so your next video could be "30 minutes, Trail 3, Margalla Hills, Islamabad F6 on Tuesday June 3rd 2016 with Maryam, Shehzad" or "Unboxing setup review iPhone 7 gold with bluetooth apple earbuds" etc.
OK? - Once you have been doing this for 6 months or so depending on how many videos you upload and how regularly, you will begin to see a good amount of views to your channel and you will start to gain subscribers since ALL your content is real and original and probably useful and interesting. This is when you start making money from advertisers, adsense, youtube etc. Keep doing this. Make it a habit to record good video whenever you are doing something. Pretend it's something you want to show your children ... when you have them.
7... and this is the MOST IMPORTANT POINT OF ALL :-)
Knowledge is a thing to be shared and it is something you can do for those you care about. I care about YOU.
The key point is that you regularly add good, well labelled, subtitled if needed, CONTENT of a good variety that someone somewhere will find useful or interesting at least once and that you keep adding it regularly. It doesn't matter if anyone is watching it or subscribing to your channel at this point, JUST DO IT !
In a few months you will have a good amount of CONTENT that is ORIGINAL and is YOURS.
CONTENT = MONEY
Good Original Content = GREAT MONEY forever
Did you get that? Any questions or comments?
Good luck!
Ps. Short videos of 10 minutes or less are best so once you get some experience you can learn to edit the video down and add subtitles and effects but those things aren't as important as YOUR ORIGINAL CONTENT
