How to Make Money on YouTube Without Making Videos (Step By Step)

welcome to the free training on how to make money on YouTube without making videos this is going to be a straight to Theo training that shows you exactly what to do it's going to have no fluff and it's not going to be like other trainings that just talk about Theory you're going to be able to walk away from this with actionable information that you can take action on right now specifically I'm going to be going over four different secrets for doing this but first why should you do YouTube as opposed to all of the other business models that are out there well running YouTube channels where you don't ever even have to show your face checks all the boxes for being the best business model out there first of all you can run your YouTube channels from anywhere your age doesn't matter I started my YouTube Journey when I was just 14 years old and I was making $33,000 a month by the time I was 15 and over $30,000 a month by the time I graduated high school now if you implement this Secrets I can't guarantee you'll automatically make $330,000 a month the first month but I am going to be showing you exactly what I did step by step now the biggest reason that YouTube is the best business model out there is that you do the work once and it can continue to pay you for years into the future other businesses you can't necessarily say the same for many times you have to constantly be doing new things within the business every single month to continue making money whereas with YouTube you set up the systems and processes once and think of every video that you upload as a piece of digital real estate that lives forever on the internet that can then pay you money every single month I still make money every single month from videos that I uploaded when I was just 14 years old so I'm going to show you exactly how you can start planting these seeds for for yourself with the four secrets that I mentioned which are going to start with secret number one which is how to make money on YouTube without showing your face and the best niches to do this in secret number two will be to how to actually generate that content without showing your face and without recording any videos whatsoever secret number three will be the true secret for going viral on YouTube fast I barely even talked about this online so you're going to get a lot of value from that and then secret number four how to monetize your channel and make the most amount of money possible now I'm not going to bore you with my story but I'm just going to recap it incredibly quickly I started YouTube when I was 14 years old and by the time I was 16 years old I was making more money than both of my parents combined and before I was 20 I was a millionaire from YouTube and today I run over a dozen different channels and I make millions of dollars per year from YouTube I got this gold play button right here from YouTube for one of my channels hitting over a million subscribers and I've got multiple silver play buttons for my channels hitting over 100,000 subscribers now I have a video on my personal YouTube channel which is called make money mat which goes over my full story if you're interested in seeing that but basically to summarize it for you I absolutely hated school I was dreading having to then go to college for multiple years as well and then go deep into debt for that and then work for years to pay that off and then buy a house with a mortgage going to a job that I hate and then work almost my whole life to pay off that mortgage and then towards the end of my life potentially have just a couple years to enjoy a decent retirement which who knows if that would even happen and it seemed like my life was scripted out for me in all honesty I didn't want any part of it and you might have felt like that in the past as well was incredibly depressed at a lot of times had a lot of conflict between my parents and stuff things are better now thankfully but at the time I was searching for a better way and I came across this YouTube channel that was called top fives which uploaded videos without ever even showing their face or anything and I thought to myself you know what I could make videos like this at the time I didn't even know how they were making money or what they were doing but I took this crappy iPod touch that I had at the time with a cracked screen and I started writing scripts recording voiceovers using that iPod Touch editing the videos together on my laptop which could barely even edit at the time and uploading those videos onto YouTube and none of them took off for a long time until I learned a couple Secrets which I'm going to be sharing you within this training and eventually after I implemented some of them I had a video take off and get over 100,000 views I made notes of exactly what I did exactly what worked and then kept doing that over and over again until eventually I was getting over a million views per month on my Channel at just 15 and then I learned about monetization which I'll be sharing with you how to do that and I began making $3,000 a month at 15 so let's get into secret number one which is how to make money on YouTube without showing your face and the best niches and categories and topics to do this in so here's a very basic 30,000 ft overview of how this works you find video ideas you generate the videos and then you upload and optimize those videos on YouTube and the first step in doing this is choosing a niche now a niche is simply a category of content that you upload videos in you don't want to be uploading your videos all over the place uploading basketball videos one day and drone videos the next you want to stay within a consistent category of content that you upload in and I'm just going to straight up share with you some of the best niches to do this in so you don't get hung up on this for too long it's important that we choose a niche and take action and go with that as soon as possible the main best niches include health wealth happiness relationships travel and technology these are the best niches on YouTube because they meet a couple of criteria number one they have videos going up regularly with over 100 ,000 views on them which means it'll be way easier for us to create a thriving business out of this and also these niches have a decent to high CPM now CPM is how much money we make per thousand views on our video once we get ads going up on our Channel and we want to make the most amount of money possible from it and these niches meet this criteria and that's even if you don't get a lot of views on your channel you can still potentially make a lot of money and also these niches have a lot of alternative monetization potentials as well even though you can create a thriving business just with ad Revenue you can then add in affiliate marketing or selling your own digital products and make potentially 10 times that amount as well now you might be saying Matt that's great and all but the categories you listed are very broad aren't there a bunch of subcategories within those niches as well and the answer to that is yes and I would recommend starting within a subcategory for one of those main categories and the reason for that is that if you have one video take off it'll feed all of the other videos on your channel so all of your videos will start to exponentially grow once you reach a certain point and growth on YouTube is is usually exponential so you upload a bunch of videos usually around 30 to 60 and then after that things really start to compound and you can have a thriving business out of YouTube now here's some examples of subcategories and channels within those subcategories that you can take a look at so example for that broad niche of Health we have the sub niche of gaining muscle this is very popular on YouTube Here's a channel called body Hub which has over a million subscribers and the videos they do are incredibly easy to make they can literally just be done using stock footage of free video editor put together and the channel gets 3. 4 million views per month now at a $10 CPM that' be $34,000 per month say they promote affiliate product they could be making well over $100,000 per month from their Channel here's another Channel within this sub niche of gaining muscle which got over 60,000 views and the video is literally just a slideshow and that can be done using something like Google slides and then use a free screen recorder called OBS to record your screen and just talk about this subject sub Niche number two within Health would be losing weight and here's a channel called bestie which talks about exactly that and they have over 4 million subscribers and then a third sub Niche would be natural remedies and here's a channel called natural ke which does exactly that has millions of subscribers now for the wealth Niche there's multiple sub niches under that as well and those would include make money online investing and you can do that very easily without even showing your face for example my first video is on my YouTube channel called make money mats I never even showed my face on and I got to the point of making $27,000 per month just from that Channel alone and the make money online Niche is very high CPM meaning you make a lot of money per thousand views as opposed to a lot of other niches on YouTube and then we got investing like this channel right here called Chris invest and they do exactly that and then you also have luxury like this channel called Mrluxury and then another option would be to do business stories like this channel called magnets media for happiness there's many different routes we can go down but this would include ancient wisdom like this channel called philosophies for life or you could talk about confidence like this Channel called Charisma on command and all the channels I'm sharing with you they don't ever show their face they get millions of views per month and they likely make a lot of money from their channels for relationships you could talk about how to get an ex back how to get a boyfriend or a girlfriend or how to fix relationship problems for travel you could do travel guides like the channel tropia and you don't even potentially have to travel to these places you can find Clips online to use in your videos you can talk about travel ideas like the channel world according to Briggs does this is an amazing Channel if you're thinking about starting a travel channel I definitely look at it or you could talk about the best places to live like the channel scary hairy does and then for technology you could talk about futuristic technology like the channel Tech Zone does or you could do tutorials that you can do with a free screen recording software just showing how to use different applications on your computer don't even potentially have to talk in them like the channel Tech gumbo they do exactly this and they get a ton of views now all of those that I just shared with you were the best niches to do this in you might be saying Matt there's a different Niche that I'm thinking about doing could I still do that and the answer is absolutely Ely as long as you make sure that there's videos going up within that Niche regularly every month with over 100,000 views and this is easily verified by just searching on YouTube and make sure that videos are continually going up but I will give you some bonus niches right here as well that do very well on YouTube they're not going to have as many alternative monetization sources but you can still potentially make a lot of AD Revenue Within These niches and have students succeeding in these as well and that would include scary videos animal videos celebrities car videos food videos and 360 videos and make sure to keep watching because in secret number four I'm going to reveal to you some of the best high CPM niches to make sure you make the most amount of money as well and like I said if you're thinking about doing a niche that wasn't covered here do not worry whatsoever I have other methods also of verifying and doing market research to make sure something will be feasible so you can know if something will be worth it for example let's say you want to make $10,000 per month within the animal Niche I have certain tools that can basically verify and reverse engineer to ensure that that's a possibility now let's get on to secret number two which is how to generate content without recording videos and without showing your face and I'm going to show you eight different methods for doing this starting with method number one which is stock videos and I have a huge database of different stock video websites that you can use but I'll share a couple with you right now which include pixabay. com and pexels.

com and if you don't find all the clips that you'd want to use on these websites don't worry I've got a huge database of a bunch more as well and there's certain subscriptions that you can subscribe to like story blocks which give you access to a ton more and then you can edit these videos together using a completely free video editor like open shot shot cut or hit film Express or if you're on a Mac you can use iMovie or if you're just using your phone you can also do this and use an application called Power director mobile option number two is doing tutorials just like this channel called Simon says it you can just look up different software online see what the most common questions about it are and just make videos around it recording your screen with that free OBS software option number three is doing slideshows just use Google slides to create the slideshow and you can make videos just like this one which got over 300,000 views option number three is just showing text on a screen like certain quote videos now be careful at doing this and make sure that you expand on any quotes that you share and give your opinion on them give more facts about them and so forth to ensure that it's considered what is called fair use now I'm not a lawyer or anything but in my understanding fair use is a copyright principle where if you change something enough from the original then you're allowed to use it so if you use any quotes or anything I do recommend ensuring that it's fair use and I have a complete fair use checklist that I can give you as well option number five is just showing stock photos instead of videos like this video right here which is just a scary story video it got over 500,000 views and it's just a stock photo in the background of the video while talking about the scary story option number six are whiteboard videos just like that channel called philosophies for life they just use a software called videoscribe to generate these types of videos option number seven is animated videos like this video right here and you can use something like animaker to make videos like this and then option number eight are mind map videos like this channel right here called Joseph Rodriguez he gives different book summaries and you can create a mind map just using a software called xmind and then record your screen and now here's a ninth bonus way of creating content which is getting videos from YouTube to use in your videos and to do this you need to make sure that you're following fair use principles you have an original script on the video and an original voice over as well that you can just record using your phone if you're just beginning or eventually by a cheap microphone such as the fifine k669b now I'm going to let you in on a secret on how I'm able to run over 12 different YouTube channels and the way that I'm able to do this is by Outsourcing that means hiring other people to do the work for me when I was 16 I basically had no social life whatsoever because I was making every single video myself making a new video every single day and I had school as well so I basically had no time to hang out with my friends or anything and I knew things how to change and I found a website called upwork. com where I figured out you could hire people to make these videos for you so I did that freed up all my time and then eventually I started more channels in different niches just by Outsourcing and at the end of this free training I'm going to show you step-by-step instructions on exactly how to grow your team which includes where to hire people from how much to pay people job post script templates and how easy it is to actually manage your team if you use certain tools there's a way to manage this very easily to the point where you can literally only spend an hour or two a day like I currently do and run over a dozen different channels and now there's many more ways of generating content as well if you did for example want to show your face for example I made my YouTube channel called make money mad grew it to nearly half a million subscribers and I do show my face and I use the exact information on how to grow all my channels for this channel as well and it works perfectly for all types of YouTube channels and I'll show you how to get access to list of all of equipment I use for recording videos as well now let's get on to secret number three which is the true secret from how to go viral on YouTube and this secret is called similar metadata now metadata is simply what tells YouTube what your videos are about this includes your title description and tags now when you first create a channel and start uploading videos on YouTube YouTube has no idea what your content is about so they're just going to start testing it at a very small amount giving Impressions to your videos to a randomized sample of YouTube users and this is not what you want to happen because they're going to show to the wrong people and it could potentially take months if not years for your channel to gain traction and where everybody goes wrong with doing this they might put a title on their video they might put a description in tags is they make every video on their Channel drastically different from each other and this isn't just a missed opportunity from doing this their channel is literally leaking views the secret to doing this correctly is to have a group of tags and keywords that you use on every single video on your channel and this puts viewers into what I like to call suggested video feedback loops this is where they watch one video on your channnel and the first video that pops up in the suggested feed is another one of your videos and you may have seen if you've watched my channel before that that very often it's going to be another one of my videos in the suggested feed so if people watch one video they're very likely to watch another and another going in these loops and this is one of the most powerful things for the YouTube algorithm and it's called session time it's how long somebody spends on YouTube itself and if you can keep them on your videos it just pushes it even further and then all you have to do to grow very quickly is get a tiny bit of search traffic which can easily be done using certain keyword tools which I'm going to show you how to use and you make videos on keywords that have a high amount of search volume a low amount of competition gain a tiny bit of search traction and then your similar metadata kicks in with all your videos suggesting each other and then your videos will get pushed to other video suggested video feeds and that is how you exponentially grow to millions of views in a very short period of time and it's not to say that every video should have the same exact title description and tags but make sure you have a set group of tags and keywords that you use on every single video and to use that certain keyword tool in order to ensure you're doing it correctly and another secret for going viral on YouTube incredibly quickly is to just not guess see a lot of people think that the only way to go viral on YouTube is to do something that nobody's ever done before and that's the only way to do it and that could not be further from the truth in fact I'm going to share with you something that might sound incredibly controversial but it's actually the truth which is that competition on YouTube honestly doesn't matter that much and that's because saturation up to a certain point can actually be an incredibly beneficial thing on YouTube because think about it if there's tons of videos on YouTube within a certain category that means there's a ton of different opportunities for your videos to get in the suggested video feed of those videos and siphon off a ton of views and every video on YouTube by proxy feeds other videos throughout that suggested video feed which is one of the Holy grills of YouTube views and also you have to ask yourself how many people are really doing YouTube correctly either how many of them have an actual strategy in place and how many are just guessing the number gets smaller and smaller and everybody talks about too much competition but what they always fail to account for is that viewership is also growing accordingly so there's more viewers on YouTube than ever before as well so now is the best time to get started on YouTube and as long as you generate videos that are just as good as what's working on YouTube at the time then you can still succeed and when I tell you not to guess it doesn't mean that you can't leave some room open for experimentation and seeing if something will work in fact I personally leave about 10% of my content strategy up for experimentation on something that might work it might not but it's just a guess but 90% of my content strategy is recreating what has worked in the past in a better way so you take the best aspects from the top videos within a certain subject and make them better now you might be saying what videos should I actually make well here's how to find unlimited video ideas that will actually get views it's it's incredibly simple and all I do is I get half my video ideas from already popular videos and the remaining half from keyword research so for popular videos you just search videos on YouTube within your Niche filter by views uploaded in the past 6 months and recreate videos that have gotten at least over 100,000 views and then for keyword research you can use certain tools to plug in your Niche and it'll give you the best ideas to do now let's get into secret number four which is monetizing and making money doing this now there's four great ways of monetizing on YouTube and two bad ways now let's talk about the two bad ways which include doing merchandise and then also doing memberships on your channel I recommend staying away from that cuz the amount of money you make per sale is very low and you have to be getting Millions upon millions of views to make that feasible let's talk about even if you get a small amount of views how you can still make a ton of money and let's start with method number one which is always great for every single channel to have which is AD Revenue once you get 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers you can join What's called the YouTube Partner program and don't worry you can achieve this incredibly fast I have tons of students who do this incredibly quickly and AD Revenue involves something called CPM which is how much money you make per thousand views and some channels only get a $1 CPM and others get upwards of $50 so how can you make the most amount possible from your Channel with ad Revenue well that just involves creating videos on topics and in a niche that's very high CPM and here's a list right here on the screen if you want to pause it of all of the highest CPM niches on YouTube that make $10 plus per thousand views if not way more some like to make money online Niche make upwards of 20 to $30 per th000 views also another trick to make as much money as possible is to create videos that are longer than 8 minutes most of my videos are between 8 and 12 minutes by the way and that's because then you can place multiple ads throughout your video and make multiple times more money from your video so let's say you have a stream of income coming in from ads that's awesome let's get into the Second Great method of monetizing which is is digital products these can be things like online courses or ebooks or software and you can sell them very easily using a platform like Kobi the reason online courses are so great to sell from YouTube is because a course is just a collection of videos just upload videos teaching something in a step-by-step Manner and people will pay a lot of money for this information because it can be very valuable to them you might be saying Matt doesn't it take a ton of effort and energy in order to create an online course and the answer is yes it does but it can be very worth it but if you don't have specialized knowledge in something to teach it then you can go and do method number three for monetizing which is affiliate marketing there's websites like digistore 24. com and clickbank.
