It’s been 6 months since I started working with this client, and here’s how everything is going, we also monetised few channels from scratch. Want to turn your videos into $$$? DM me “$” and start getting paid from your videos.

the 3 star review sort is the most underrated research hack in this entire list. 5 star reviews tell you what the brand wants to hear about itself. 1 star reviews tell you what angry people say. 3 star reviews tell you what real customers actually experienced in their own words without the emotional distortion in either direction. that's the language that converts because it sounds exactly like the person watching the ad talking to themselves

Things I do BEFORE writing a single ad for a new client: 1. Read 100 of their reviews (sorted by 3-star — middle ground = real language) 2. Read 50 of their competitors' negative reviews (find category complaints) 3. Read 20 Reddit threads about the problem they solve 4. Watch 10 of their organic videos (find what their audience already responds to) 5. Interview the founder for 45 min (extract the lore that hasn't made it to marketing yet) That's 4-6 hours per client. Most agencies skip all 5 and start at "writing ads." That's why most agencies lose accounts in 90 days.

Looking to hire AI video editor. FULL TIME : $4k + Comission on adspend.

the algorithm punishing content you can get from ChatGPT in 30 seconds is the most logical thing YouTube has done in years and somehow still surprises people. if the viewer can type your video title into an AI and get the answer instantly there's no reason to watch you. novel framing, genuine perspective, and ideas the audience hasn't seen packaged that way before, that's the only content with a defensible reason to exist on the platform right now

YouTube CONTINUES to PROMOTE Novel Ideas and High Value Content while Suppressing repeated information, things you can find on ChatGPT and ideas that the audience doesn't value WINNERS: Dara Denney & Myself - best performing videos ever Losers: Ben Heath and Sam Piliero and Chase Chappel - views in shambles talked with Ben about it and he confirmed it and joked that he didn't like it but its fascinating

YouTube is essentially telling you the next decade belongs to creators who are human, specific, and trusted by a real audience. everything they announced, TV shopping, AI placement, affiliate boosts, Gemini ad creation, all of it increases the premium on the one thing AI cannot replicate. a real person with a real perspective that a real audience has chosen to believe. the features are different. the message is identical

YouTube just announced new features for advertisers. Here's what it means for your channel: 1. Buy with Google Pay on TV Viewers can now complete purchases from their TV screen in 2 clicks. YouTube is turning into a shopping platform. The channels that attract buyers are about to become significantly more valuable to advertisers. Higher advertiser demand = higher CPMs. 2. Custom Sponsorships with AI placement YouTube is now using AI to match brands to the exact moment a viewer is most likely to buy. Brands no longer just buys an ad slot. They buy placement next to content when a viewer is actively thinking about money. That changes everything for smaller channels. A 30k finance channel can now attract the same brand spend as a 300k lifestyle channel because the audience intent is worth more than the audience size. 3. Affiliate Partnerships Boost Brands can now pay to boost videos that already mention their products. You review something, tag the brand and they can amplify that video without any formal deal. The better your content fits their audience the more likely they are to boost it. Start talking about products more. 4. Multimodal Video Creation YouTube can now produce full ad campaigns with a few prompts using Gemini and Veo. AI generated brand content is officially on the platform. The creators who win from here have something AI cannot produce. A real face, a real perspective and a real audience that trusts them. This is what brands will pay a premium for. 5. New Creator Shows YouTube is signing Trevor Noah, Dude Perfect and others for exclusive shows on the platform. YouTube is becoming TV. If you're building a personal brand, build it for the big screen. YouTube is telling you exactly what it wants. Human content, product mentions, CTAs and long forms built for TV. Creators who follow this will own the next decade.

@InfernoYTA a bad video that you study is research. a bad video that you hide from is just a loss. same video, completely different outcome depending on what you do with it in the 48 hours after it posts

Something I have noticed about channels that scale past 10k months consistently. They all treat their worst performing video the same way they treat their best one. .....treating with curiosity not embarrassment or a failure. The bad video tells you what to stop doing. That information is just as valuable as knowing what to keep doing.

YouTube pocketing ad revenue on content they've deemed "inauthentic" while refusing human review is the specific detail journalists covering the creator economy should be reading. this isn't just one channel's problem, it's a structural issue with how the appeals process works and who it actually protects

We are going to sue YouTube But before we do, our lawyer is currently in the process of sending a letter to YouTube. Over 2 weeks ago our channel @UnderSparked" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@UnderSparked was falsely demonetized under the "inauthentic content" policy. Demonetized doesn't mean no ads though, all it means is YouTube will still run ads on the videos. But they pocket all the revenue, essentially stripping all the revenue from us. We don't claim to be the pinnacle of quality content standards, but the following things do cause us to scratch our heads in confusion 1. All of the bigger channels in the same niche as us are monetized with no issues 2. We literally voice act, edit, etc, all our own videos while 100s of AI storytelling channels are still monetized 3. YouTube is fine with running ads on the videos, pocketing all the revenue. We assume if YouTube had such a big problem with the content, why still serve it to your advertisers? 4. 100s of reaction channels still stay monetized Some examples of bigger monetized channels that are in the same niche as us are: rSlash: @rSlash" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@rSlash DarkFluff: @DarkFluff" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@DarkFluff Oz's Vault: youtube.com/channel/UCoJ1A… We support these channels, the reason we are providing these channels as examples is to showcase how it feels like we're being targeted. This has caused extreme distress for my team and I. Many of our livelihoods and families rely on this channel. Our community relies on the UnderSparked channel. Many people support the UnderSparked channel because in a time of nonstop AI channels, we stepped up and used real voice actors to cater to that connection and community that viewers on YouTube crave. We truly believe this demonetization was done in error, all we want is a real human specialist to help us fix the issue. We're tired of constantly receiving only copy and pasted templated responses, constantly neglecting/dismissing our attempts at fixing the false demonetization. We're kindly requesting for a representative from @TeamYouTube to help us fix this demonetization issue with our channel. We don't want to send letters, or sue, or anything! We simply just want to go back to producing content for our community.

most creators are thinking about their channel as a platform for their personality. you built yours as a documented revenue stream with predictable growth and a purchasing-power audience. those are completely different assets even if they look identical from the outside. one gets bought. the other gets abandoned when the creator burns out

I just sold my YouTube channel to private equity. Most people build YouTube channels to grow an audience. I built one to prove a thesis: that media assets have real enterprise value, and that a channel with the right niche and the right monetization structure is worth more than most people think. Megalomedia had documented revenue, predictable growth, a real audience with purchasing power. I recently saw this video from GEN (link added here) talking about why most big YouTube channels were being bought by private equity firms. And my surprise is that it didn't happen sooner. YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. A platform where people hand over 20 minutes of focused attention. A content library that compounds in value every single year. Private equity understands one thing better than anyone: distribution is everything. Whoever controls attention controls the pipeline. And YouTube is the most scalable, most defensible attention asset on the internet right now.

@_9th_Life_ The creators who hire help early grow way faster than the ones who spend 6 months learning Premiere first. 4 years editing long-form and short-form for creators doing millions of monthly views. Dmed you

Anyone know a good video editor? I'd like to start putting out some short/long form content but am pretty dogshit when it comes to editing and only have used Capcut lol

@InfernoYTA the hook isn't the beginning of the video. it's the resolution of the thumbnail. that one reframe changes everything about how you write an opening

Your hook is not the first line of your video. It is the moment the viewer decides the thumbnail was not a lie. Most people write hooks for the script. The real hook is whether the first thirty seconds match the expectation the thumbnail already created. Fix that gap and your retention problem fixes itself.

@DavidCarbutt_ the gap between "figuring it out after work" and "it pays me and my team" is not a knowledge gap. it's a timeline gap. most people quit somewhere inside the timeline and call it a strategy problem

6 years ago I was figuring out YouTube after work, hoping it would amount to something. Now it pays me, my team, and the businesses/ channels we work with, generating millions of views and significant revenue. If you want the same shot at YouTube, I've put everything I know into a course. Follow + comment 'YouTube’ below for more info.

@Wavybenji_ Apex long-form is a specific skill, the difference between a highlight reel and an actual video is usually in how you build tension before the big moments and what you cut around the funny ones so they land properly. what's your usual VOD length and upload cadence? Dmed you

I’m looking for a long-form YouTube editor for my Apex/streaming content. I need someone who understands pacing, storytelling, funny moments, hooks, retention, and turning VODs into real videos — not just basic cuts. Paid opportunity. DM portfolio/examples + rates.

@DevenSeenath the window between spotting a format and being the tenth person doing it is getting shorter every month. what used to be a 6 week gap is now measured in days. speed isn't a nice to have anymore, it's the entire competitive advantage for anyone who isn't already established

If you want to do well on YouTube you need to focus on speed SPEED IS EVERYTHING This applies to business in general If you see a format you want to try, do it, quickly If you don't act, someone else will Speed is so important you guys Think of a plane It can't lift off unless its going fast enough YouTube is the same Work with speed and you'll be rewarded

@jthomas__ 800,000 titles studied and the top word is just the current year. the most sophisticated title optimisation tool available is apparently a calendar

I studied 800,866 YouTube titles to see which words work best for getting more views. Here are the top 10:

@Ed_FilmBooth a frustrated comment is just an unanswered question wearing a bad attitude. the creators who figure that out early build better content faster than everyone else because they're getting honest feedback nobody else is willing to give them

Here’s 1 thing I learned about “trolls” that changed the way I made videos.  As an educator, we often want to give as much value as possible but sometimes that value is not meant for beginner’s ears.  🧵/1

Content ID turning other people stealing your content into a passive revenue stream is the part that reframes the whole thing. most creators see content theft as a threat. inside a CMS it's just another income line. someone rips your ASMR video and you get paid for their views. that's not protection, that's monetization of your competition

Most people making $100K+/month on YouTube have one thing in common that nobody talks about: they're all using a YouTube CMS So what is it.. CMS = Content Management System Basically a special dashboard YouTube 'gives' (kind of lol) to people managing massive networks of channels. Instead of logging in/out like a maniac, you control everything from one place But YouTube doesn't just hand these out. You need to be a 'large content holder' with either a massive network or huge library of copyrighted content. Almost impossible to get yourself There are 2 types and this is where it gets interesting: 1. Managed CMS (O&O) - you CREATE channels directly inside the CMS from scratch. They're born with a silver spoon, get special treatment from day 1 2. Affiliate CMS (MCN) - you LINK existing monetized channels to get extra benefits Why Managed CMS is insane for faceless channels: > Highest trust score on YouTube > Algorithm boost from day 1 > 99% monetization acceptance rate > Enhanced demonetization protection > Your videos get pushed harder I've seen brand new channels (zero subs) get 3,500 views in 8 hours on their first upload. With regular channels you'd be lucky to get 50 views lol Another crazy benefit is Content ID. If someone steals your content, you claim the revenue from their video. People steal my ASMR content constantly but I registered it with Content ID so every time someone rips it, I get paid. Adds an extra 5 figures per month btw ;) And the protection side is huge. For channels STARTED inside a managed CMS, I've seen ZERO cases of inauthentic content demonetizations on AI storytelling. But for channels linked later, I've seen some get hit. But that's a big difference So if you're doing AI storytelling, sleep content, or anything in the grey area, a managed CMS is basically your insurance policy. YouTube has to manually review to take it down (almost never happens) versus regular channels getting auto flagged all the time You can also block specific countries, get verified badges whenever, track who's using your content, and access live chat support with actual humans. Stuff regular creators can't do But getting your own CMS is basically impossible. You need massive content catalog, multiple high performing channels, hit quarterly revenue thresholds, get partner manager approval. Even then most applications get rejected CMSs are worth insane amounts of money and you can't just 'buy' one. You have to legally acquire the entire company. Lawyers, contracts, informing Google with 30 day notice, the whole thing. I know because I literally just did this I recently acquired my own CMS (@FGMnetwork), 100% outright. This has been my dream for 10+ years since I first started on YouTube as a kid. To finally achieve this goal is really insane honestly ❤️ IMPORTANT WARNING: Some CMSs offer 'instant monetization' without 1K sub / 4K watch hour requirements. Stay away! WMG and others are under heavy scrutiny from Google for selling access. If they get shut down, you get zero money. So it's not worth the risk So your actual options: 1. Build massive channels and try to get your own CMS (good luck) 2. Work with an existing CMS that accepts partners (@FGMNetwork) 3. Purchase a YouTube CMS by acquiring an entire company (100s of thousands of dollars + months of work) Option 2 is how 99% of creators actually get access. Including most of the people crushing it right now Every single person I know making serious money on YouTube is using a CMS. Because once you hit a certain scale, you need that extra layer of protection. It's not optional if you want to go past $100K, $200K+ per month If you're already doing $10K+/month, contact @FGMnetwork and DM "CMS" for more info If not, book a free call here so we can help you scale to your first $10K+/month through our 1-1 coaching: join.wannercashcow.com/x-wannercashcow ;)
