YouTube As a Business (No Filming, No Editing) & Monetize

You can run a YouTube channel like a business. Many successful channels earning from YouTube AdRevenue do not film or edit their own content (I'll show you examples). Instead they treat their YouTube channel as a business outsourcing the video creation, editing, thumbnails and then they upload the content and monitor analytics to make the channel grow and earn.

Here I'll show you how to set up a channel like this, how to find freelance staff to edit for you, how to find copyright free music and video and to work out how much you could make and so when you'll breakeven and be in profit.

Just like any business, a YouTube channel is now a great and viable way to start a side-income or open multiple channels in the same way and have a portfolio of earning channels.

Covered in this course:

Overview section: Overview how you and YouTube make money, how different countries and Niches make different amounts of AdRevenue; things to consider when deciding on a channel type to make and how to work out what to make a channel about.

We will then go into the step-by-step full process of what you'll need. First decide on your niche and how to research that to get your list of first 30 videos and titles/thumbnail Ideas.

then I'll show you how to get your thumbnails made (and where); then create your YouTube channel (step by step); get your channel art and branding created; script written (or do it for free); get stock footage/Download video footage for free ; how to do/get a voiceover (paid and free);  music and sound effect (free and paid); then how to schedule for success and work out your costs vs income with YouTube projections.

Then I will show you the full process for uploading your videos for maximum success to get discovered on YouTube.

A full, beginning to end, step-by-step process of how to make a YouTube channel and treat is as a business.

This is an overview of how youtube generates income through AdRevenue and then how you earn too. I will show you examples of live channels now and their RPM and CPM for that niche

I can show you examples where videos had views from the USA compared to India and how much the difference it between those earnings (it's crazy!). You need to attract an audience from the right country or your earnings will be significantly affected

What are the main things to think about when choosing a channel type? Earnings potential, knowledge, competition... let's discuss.

This is an exercise I developed to ask the critical questions to work out what you should make a channel about and even develop the channel name, tagline and video structure, all here on this sheet!

With 30,000 videos uploaded to YouTube every hour... what makes YouTube choose to share your video and get views? Let's discuss...

Research is key, it will save you years and years off your channel growth time. You need to understand in your niche what got people to click (it's very different between niches) and show you can also get a high CTR and more impressions.

Now we're starting to move! We'll learn how to get out first 30 video ideas and thumbnails from research so we can begin the process of getting videos made

Use the links on the sheet provided (in lecture 20) to go directly to the freelance staff I recommend in fiverr.com Let's get your (all-important... most important) thumbnail created

While we wait for your thumbnails to be created we can begin to create your actual channel - this is a step by step guide of how to correctly set up your YouTube channel

So as not to sow down out progress, let's get out channel art made. I'll show you exactly what I mean here for the 3 pieces of art you'll need created for your channel and where to upload these.

You may or may-not need a script for your niche (see the video structure we discussed in the previous lectures) and it'll be the most expensive part of the process if you do... here's all the options and costs

Here are free and paid stock footage options (detailed in video). But also the YouTube fair-use policy allows for you to use other recorded footage but only in a specific way. Let me show you how you can use this and how to download those for free.

This will also be a more expensive part of your production process and I show you both getting a voiceover produced for you online or free options using voice generators or doing it yourself.. it' really depends on your channel niche and your own league you speak.

there are some great copyright free music sources for around $30 per month (i'll show you which) but also there is a YouTube audio library that is free... let me know you where just so you don't get any copyright strikes.

This is how you find great editors at great prices and see the resource in lecture 20 for direct clickable links to the editors I show. We need 3 editors and i'll let you why...

Use this sheet to follow  though what and how you need to send your materials to an editor and also use my template to negotiate a great deal with an editor to save you some money.

You need a strong production plan and calendar for what you are doing, when and releasing videos so you can keep a steady stream of content to help your channel grow. Let me share my production calendar with you

This is the sheet I am sharing to work out your potential costs for your launch months compared to when you are monetized on YouTube and earning so you can work out when you will break even and be earning from YouTube.
