How to Make Money on YouTube With Simple Meditation Videos

I've made millions of dollars from YouTube over the past few years and if you want to discover how to potentially make money on YouTube without showing your face you're in the right place I'm going to be showing you channels doing this how you can potentially get started doing this too and how to generate videos super easily all the tools required to do so and you can essentially watch over my shoulder as I show you how to do this and how to do this without having to deal with copyright or anything like that so the niche

we're talking about today is meditation videos and a lot of people online talk about making money with meditation videos where you just download stock footage and some YouTube audio library music slap it together and re-upload it but unfortunately a lot of channels that do this are not able to get monetized because they're not creating unique content but unique content does not necessarily mean that you have to put a ton of work into creating a video in fact you can generate videos super easily with some of the tools that I'm going to be going over today

now let's hop on my computer real quick and take a look at a channel doing this called the mindful movement as you can see this channel has 7 100,000 subscribers I'm using the vid IQ extension right here to see how many views per month they're getting and they're pulling in 2 million views per month which is pretty good if we do the calculations on this that means they're getting 2,000,000 views per month multiply this by a reasonable CPM we'll estimate like $10 they could be making $20,000 per month and this is just from ad Revenue

alone on this channel and if we go ahead and take a look at one of the videos right here for example the most recent one as you can see it's literally just some stock footage playing in the background of this video with some talking and spoken affirmations and meditations throughout the video to help people with specific goals for example this one is helping people let go and for deep sleep right and it's pretty incredible that this channel is getting so many views here's another one doing the exact same thing and this one's getting half a

million views per month right here they're barely posting on the channel they're doing like three videos per month now just imagine if they uploaded 10 or even 20 videos per month they could potentially be doing much better now here's another Channel called Jason Stevenson sleep meditation music as you can see does the exact same type of videos and this guy's getting 8 million views per month which is honestly incredible so this is just proof that these types of channels can work and they can potentially get a lot of views but you need to make sure

that you're doing this the correct way so you can number one get monetized number two get a ton of views and number three actually make money doing this you might be saying Matt I'm sold show me exactly how to make money doing this but I do have a doubt how do I actually generate content similar to what these channels are doing and actually compete with these already big channels that are out there well my answer to that is number one we're going to go in with an actual strategy as opposed to just guessing and number

two I'm going to show you an awesome tool where you can watch me generate one of these videos now step number one for doing this is to get some video ideas and I recommend if you're going to be starting a meditation Channel or any other channel for that matter that you get about 30 different ideas for your channel and one of the best ways of doing that is to hop on over two channels like this one for example and then if you have the vid IQ extension installed you can click it right right here and

then click view trending videos now the reason this is important is because we want to see which videos are getting the highest amount of views per hour and this is a great measure to show you which videos are doing great and you want to see videos that have been uploaded more than a few months ago with a high views per hour as you can see this one four years ago 260 views per hour use your powerful mind healing deep sleep hypnosis that's a wonderful video idea here's another one 20 minute guided meditation for reducing anx

XY and stress cleared the Clutter to calm down these are fantastic video ideas that can potentially do really well so let's just go with the highest one first and foremost which is going to be use your powerful mind healing deep sleep hypnosis and let's find a good title together so what I like to do when I'm generating my own title is to hop on over to something like wordcounter.net and play around with this title to make it our own we don't want to just straight up copy the exact same thing but we want to switch

some words around and maybe even improve it and what we want is for the total number of characters with in this to be under 70 so the title shows up in most places on YouTube either desktop or mobile so for example for doing this title right here what I'd probably do is healing deep sleep hypnosis move this around right here and then put in quotations use your powerful mind and then we'll just put mindful movement right there and as you can see we just reduced one of the characters right there and we're under 70 so

I'd probably do a title similar to this and now step number two is to write your guided meditation script now this does not have to be a complicated process we can simply use tools like chat GPT to help us generate this script using artificial intelligence so if we take a look at chat GPT we can say write me a 4,000-word guided meditation that instructs people to use their powerful mind to go into a deep and restorative sleep as you can see so the reason we're doing 4,000 words right here and generating it is because 4,000

words is going to be about a 20 minute script if not even a little bit more and then we have the option of potentially looping this script saying it multiple times throughout the video and or just having this as its very own video so as you can see we have got a guided meditation that we can potentially record and we can start by even just instructing people find a quite comfortable place to sit or lie down and sure you won't be disturbed Etc and one of the best ways you're recording your script literally just use

your phone you don't need any fancy microphone or equipment yet if you're just starting this just use your phone record it with the built-in audio recorder app and go through the whole script make sure to change some things and make them your own as well so you're not just using a chat GPT generated script running through something like copy Escape as well to make sure it's 100% unique please make sure to find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down Ure you won't be disturbed now step number four is to actually generate the

video and the tool we're going to be using to do this is a software called v. now Ved is actually the sponsor of today's video so huge thanks to V for helping me bring this to you and it's actually a really incredible tool for doing this specifically for a few different reasons that I'm I'm going to go over and you'll understand it more as I'm showing you exactly how to use it so you can try Ved completely free down at the link in the description if you'd like now the free plan does have a watermark

but I would suggest if you're at least thinking about doing this set up for a free plan see if it fits your needs and everything and then you can upgrade to a paid plan that removes the watermarks and everything eventually if you'd like so this right here is what the Ved dashboard looks like and as you can see it gives you a couple different options and it actually gives you the option of recording audio directly on V so if you ever wanted to you can literally just record the audio on here you just have to

give permission to your microphone and everything to be able to do that and you can do it directly within this software which is pretty cool but for the purpose of today's video I've got the audio recorded already what we're going to do is go over to create project right here from here then once this loads it gives you the option of uploading your file so we're simply going to upload our voice over by clicking upload file and then as you can see our voice over has been added to the timeline right here now our next

step is going to be to put some visuals with this voice over over right here which is very easy to do and this is one of the reasons I actually recommend using something like Ved if you're going to be creating some of these videos and that is due to the fact that if you go over to the left hand side here and click media as you can see it gives you the option of having builtin stock videos so if you go here you can literally just search videos that correspond to what you're talking about and

then put that on the timeline and create these videos super easily so let's take a listen to what I'm talking about during this meditation so we can start adding these corresponding videos let's take a listen welcome to the guided meditation everybody so I'm talking about meditation so let's simply search meditation right here and as you can see there's tons of these meditation clips that we can use now in order to add one of these clips to the timeline very easy you just literally click on the clip right here and it's going to add it to

the timeline and so now if we go ahead and play through a little bit of this video right here we can take a look welcome to the guided meditation everybody in this video we're going to be going over a great medit nice but obviously we don't want this clip to play too long we want to be switching Clips a lot so we can keep people's attention and this is really only pertinent in the first few seconds of the video right here especially with a meditation video when the video gets into the main part of the

meditation most people are simply going to be listening to the video so we don't have to have any crazy editing during that section which is one reason why meditation videos are pretty cool so as you can see right here we're simply going to trim this clip down a little bit so it's not playing for too long we'll play it for like 5 Seconds right there then click add media again and then we can see what we're talking about next so let's play through this a little bit your powerful mind so we're talking about unlocking your

powerful mind so we go back to stock videos simply search mind right here we'll see what comes up as you can see tons of stock clips that we can use I think this one goes pretty good with what I'm saying and what you'll notice when I click on this clip right here is it's going to add it where the timeline play bar is so we will want to drag this back a little bit to connect these two clips right here and now I also don't want it to immediately cut to that clip so what's cool

if we go to the left hand side and click transitions right here we can put a simple dissolve transition between these two clips right here and now they'll dissolve into each other so let's take a look we're going to be going over a great meditation for unlocking your powerful mind and getting you into a very deep state of sleep so now we're talking about sleep so we will simply drag this one down a little bit go back to media and search sleep right here for the stock videos and essentially having a tool like this is

going to save you a subscription on paying for stock assets so we can simply have this all built in to one tool and I think this is one of the reasons this is really good for this type of content right here all right so now I have the intro edited out right here for the first few seconds and now our job as editors is going to become a lot easier because we don't have to keep putting as many stock Clips throughout the video cuz it's simply a meditation video most people at this point are simply

going to be listening but we want something nice in the background so we're going to go back to Media right here and we're simply going to search right here in the stock videos as you can see we can literally just use one of these backgrounds like one of these Aerials right here I think this would be a pretty good one or this one even and then literally just put it on Loop so what we're going to do is just click this aerial shot right here add it to the timeline and then we'll put a quick

transition in between it we'll just throw a dissolve in between that right there so they fade into each other and now let's take a look at this meditation towards deep and restorative sleep so as you see it transition from the intro and exhale slowly through your mouth and then what we're going to want to do is simply repeat this clip so what we can do is just right click and then click copy go right here in the timeline simply paste that clip in right there put it right there and boom now we can just literally

Loop this clip for the whole duration of our video essentially we can throw in some stock Clips at the end if we wanted to but our meditation is not yet complete we do need to add some music at least in my opinion to it in order for this to be the full effect of a meditation and what's awesome about v. is that they have great music built in just for this so if you go to the left hand side right here go down to the audio tab as you can see there are tons of stock

music built in now we're going to want something that's more of like an ambient soundtrack in the background so let's actually search meditation and see if there's anything related to meditating relaxing music right here let's take a [Laughter] listen yeah that's actually pretty good so we're just simply going to use this and there's tons of Music on here I would do more of a deep dive if I was making tons of videos on this I wouldn't just use the same music in every single one I would make sure to use different tracks on different ones

so we're going to just use this one as an example right here and I'm just going to click add right here simply going to add this music to the timeline adds another track right here and the music will be imported and boom now we got the meditation music on that additional track right there then what we're going to want to do is it's going to be way too loud at least initially so we're going to want to bring the volume down if you just click it go to audio you can bring this volume down so

it's not as loud and you can just kind of play around with this and listen so let's take a listen to this welcome to the guided meditation everybody in this video we're going to be going over a great meditation for unlocking your powerful mind and that's fantastic awesome so we have some of the music on right there and they have some awesome Tools in regards to audio as well so if you go in here you can actually click this button right here to clean up the audio and what this is going to do is get

rid of any long pauses that are within the audio and this can potentially save you a ton of time in editing if you pause if you need to read the script you know take a drink of water or anything else that can really potentially save you a lot of time and you can even remove background noise from your audio also and they have this new beta feature as well which I'm really excited about called translate voice and this allows you to literally translate your videos into different languages so for example I could translate this from

English into Spanish and I for example would want to do Spanish for Mexico right here click that and they have different voices you can do right here like let's take a listen to The Voice as you can tell that sounds completely real there's no way that I would personally be able to tell if that's a robot and then what's incredibly cool about this tool is that if you go on over to the audio tab right here you can actually create a clone of your voice so if you click voice clone right here click it started

you can literally record your voice create a clone of it and then use that clone in order to make more videos so for example you could type out what you wanted your own voice to say if you wanted to do that as well and also this tool if you go to audio right here they also have text to speech and let's take a listen so you can hear how good that sounds welcome to the meditation and you can use your own voice clone if you want or one of these pre-made voices and let's take a

listen to how good these voices are for example let's just choose a random voice right here and you can choose to do different tones as well with that voice for example let's try Whispering since this is a meditation and see what that sounds like so let's click generate right there real quick and there we go now we have some uh Whispering audio right here let's drag this to the end just so we can listen to this real quick welcome to the meditation as you can hear that sounds incredibly good that sounds like a real person

so you could potentially even just use use text to speech for the voice for your meditations as well but I would suggest doing some yourself just so you can make sure that you get monetized and to make sure your video as as good as possible because I think you can do better meditations than a robot and then after we have our audio dialed in right there what we can do since this would be a much longer video is simply contrl C to copy that and then just paste it at the end and just copy paste

that audio over and over on the timeline so you create an entire video and you can potentially even make these hours long like some of these videos right here hours you can simply Loop some of that audio if you'd like so then we can go down to subtitles right here and essentially you can create automatically generated subtitles if you want and as you can see you can add automatic highlighting even about what's being said during the video and you can choose a language and then click create subtitles this is going to generate them might take

a minute or two to do so we'll let that load right there and while that's generating we can then go down to text and this is for adding titles throughout the video and you really don't need to add titles especially if we're going to be doing subtit titles on here just like this and as you can see we have subtitles now on our video it literally just took like 30 seconds or something and it goes throughout the meditation so people can follow along if they did want to watch and it increases engagement at least a

little bit and they also have additional elements you can add in here if you click elements right here you can add things like sound waves for example like if we clicked to add one of these it'll simply be a sound wave along with what's being talked about in the video which goes with the sound so if we listen to this right here allow yourself to as you can see it's going with that now I don't think a meditation video really needs that but I just want to show you some of these Cool Tools right here

they also have tons of templates you can use as well for different types of video stuff so you can use this for any video editing that you need not just meditation videos and of course you can record your videos either your camera your screen for example if you were doing screen recording tutorials like this channel right here uh called Brett in Tech as you can see this channel right here has gotten millions of views on their videos and all he does is literally just to screen recordings of how to do different things but I know

the purpose of this video is meditation video so if we hop back on over here once we have our video done and ready then all we simply have to do is click done in the top right corner right here and then go to export video and then go down to Quality right here and I suggest selecting HD for the quality and then from there we can click burn in subtitles which is what we want since we added them onto the video right there and then we can click faster export right here check this box it's

a new beta feature which allows you to export your videos way faster and then click export video and I'll give this a minute and we'll see how long this video takes to load and boom our video is literally done just like that that literally took maybe a minute to generate this video but this video is only 2 minutes long at the moment but if we're doing a full meditation it will take a little bit longer but what's cool is you can let these videos export all on v. so as opposed to a traditional editor you'd

have to download onto your computer have that running in the background and doing all that this is all online based so you can access these projects at any any time you could have multiple exporting at a Time start scheduling these videos to be uploaded but let's take a look at what this video looks like that we just made right here so you can see an example of the types of videos you can generate with this welcome to the guided meditation everybody in this video we're going to be going over a great meditation for unlocking your

powerful mind and getting you into a very deep state of sleep which will be very restorative for both your body and your mind get into a position that allows your body to completely relax whether it's sitting in a comfortable chair or lying on your back in bed close your eyes and let's begin the journey towards deep and restorative sleep so that you get the point that is an Incredible video that we just made literally within a couple minutes right there that could potentially get a lot of views on YouTube and I think of these videos

as Investments and as seeds that we continually plant every time we post a new video if we post enough of these videos we can potentially have a lot of these Investments so to speak come to harvest for us and I personally make money every single month from videos that I uploaded when I was just 14 years old and that is Step number five of this process which is to upload and optimize your videos you can get a bunch of these done and upload them all at the same time if you'd like but just make sure

to schedule your uploads at a regular interval as opposed to just publishing them all at once and a great schedule for uploading your videos is 3 to 5 times a week all on weekdays or simply Monday Wednesday Friday and then you need thumbnails which are essentially cover images for your videos and you can create those super simply using programs like snappa step number six is to post 30 to 60 videos and stay consistent doing this a lot of people give up if they upload just two or three videos and don't see any results if we

go back to some of these channels that were taking a look at here for example the mindful movement 532 videos or mindful piece 159 videos so these people have built up quite a significant backlog but in the very beginning of their Channel their videos likely did not get many views and that is very common do not give up if you upload 10 15 videos don't get a ton of views stay consistent with this push through that initial barrier that most people give up on and get to the point where you have 30 60 100 plus

videos on your channel that are all working for you no matter if you're sleeping working traveling doing whatever you can potentially be making money at all hours of the day and that's what my faceless YouTube channels have allowed me to do and when you're doing research for this you can also check if a channel is monetized by simply Googling a YouTube monetization check ER right here and then paste in a link to a channel and as you can see this meditation channel is monetized so they're making money from ads now one consideration with this type

of content is that you probably don't want to put ads in the middle of your videos so you don't interrupt people's meditations but this is very easy to get around by if you go to your YouTube Studio once you get your channel monetized go to your content and go to any of your individual videos right here and then go to the monetization tab right here essentially what you can do is to turn off these midr ads right here simply uncheck that box because you don't want to be putting ads when people are you know in

the middle of a meditation and interrupting people but feel free for example during the intros of your videos or during the outros when the video is ending feel free to still have those types of ads and those are known as pre-roll and post roll which will be enabled by default as long as you have monetization on on your channel once you get 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers you can get your channel monetized and start making money through ads and remember what not to do within this Niche that we're causing other people not

to be able to get monetized with their content make sure you have an original voiceover going over either affirmations or a guided meditation now when it comes to making money on YouTube without making videos in my opinion there is a right way and a wrong way of going about doing it and I want to show you the right way if you're interested in that you can check out this video next to me right here this video goes over exactly how to make money on YouTube without making videos the best niches to do this in that

I would do if I was starting a new channel give you a ton of more ideas right here how to actually generate cont content within those niches how to actually get a lot of views to make this worth it to you and how to monetize to the next level so you can make as much money as possible check out this video right here and I will see you there
