1|. Pick the right niche

The right niche on YouTube leads to:

  • Fast growth
  • High income

The wrong niche on YouTube leads to:

  • Frustration
  • Financial struggles

How do you pick the right niche?

Let me explain…

Your niche requires two elements:

  1. Your interest
  2. Viewer interest

When both parties are engaged, views and growth will be inevitable

Here are some in-demand niches for 2023: Twitter Image 0

2|. Emulate success

There are two ways to generate video ideas on YouTube:

  1. Make content you think will work
  2. Make content you know will work

Choosing the second option is the faster path to success

Let’s get into two ways to use this approach…

1|. Sort creators videos by most popular and re-create them

Add in your own personal takes

2|. Find “crack” videos where views > subscribers

Cracks are videos that outperformed the creators subscriber base

They make for great videos to emulate and here’s an example: Twitter Image 1

3|. Structure your videos

Your videos should have the following structure:

  1. Hook
  2. Intro
  3. Body
  4. Conclusion

Pro Tip: Transition viewers from one videos to another in the end screens to drive up session and watch time

4|. Maximize clicks

The only way your channel will grow is by getting views

To get views, you need to maximize your clickthrough rate (CTR)

This comes from mastering titling and thumbnails

Next are a few tips that can get you more views right away…

Titles:

  • Keep them short (<50 characters)
  • Prompt intrigue
  • Sell an outcome

Thumbnails:

  • Use contrasting colors
  • Complement title

Pro tip: use colors in thumbnails different than those you see on the side bar to stand out

5|. Monetize efficiently

Most YouTube channels make next to no money

Why?

Because they solely rely on ad revenue

This is a mistake…

Let me share the stark difference between poor and strong monetization…

Ad revenue:
10,000 monthly views x $10 RPM = $100

Affiliate offer:
10,000 monthly views x 2% conversion x $10 commission = $2,000

Same traffic but 20x the income

Do not make this mistake on your channel…
