How I Made $4,000 In One Month On YouTube

Youtube has changed over the years but it still is really simple to go viral on. I was lucky enough to upload a one-minute video and make $4,000 in only one month and here's how.

Uploading What Is Popular

I am not going to BS everyone reading and say that I meditated every day then read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and had a major shift in mindset. Truth is, I just uploaded about something everyone was anticipating and searching for.

For example, Spiderman recently had another movie release. If you took advantage of this and uploaded content about any of the spidermen then you would have acquired millions of views.

You should take advantage of what is trending on Youtube because it brings you views. We all know views equal money.

If everyone is talking about cotton candy-flavored coffee then you should upload a video making and trying it. Now I don’t suggest doing everything trending because some of it can be dangerous so just be careful.

Making Your Videos Short And Sweet

Youtubers will always tell viewers to make videos 8 minutes or longer so they can put ads in the middle and increase watch time.

However, if your videos are just boring and dragging on then viewers won’t even make it to the ad in the middle.

It is possible to make a short video that only holds viewers for as long as needed and remember there are ads at the beginning of the video that makes you money.

Make videos short and to the point. If your video needs to be 10 minutes then make it 10 minutes but don’t force it by going in circles and putting in a bunch of fluff.

Be Searchable

Make your content searchable. Make titles that people are going to search and click on. Yes, this means sometimes it is okay to clickbait but have fun dealing with upset viewers if you go overboard with your title.

Examples of titles that can grab attention:

[fill in the blank] is terrifying….

[fill in the blank] made me [amount made] in one month…

[fill in the blank] for [how long] and this happened….

The shorter the title the better. Don’t put a whole essay as your title.

Also, make sure the first word of the video is what the video is about. This will push your video up in searches.

Find Your Niche

Find what content works for you and know it is okay to start off trying to replicate others. We all have a favorite YouTuber that inspires us to start our own channel and in the back of our mind, we'll be thinking "I wish I could be just like them."

It is okay to see a video of theirs and upload the same idea. Just make the video yours.

Be authentic and use the same idea but in your own style.

At the end of the day, no one can gatekeep what type of content you post. Everyone copied someone and almost no idea is completely original so keep that in mind.

Don’t Give Up

I can’t sit here and tell you there are specific steps to follow. YouTubes algorithm can be unpredictable and there is no guarantee a lot of your videos will blow up.

But there are millions of video ideas that you can come up with to start posting. Don't wait and sit around perfecting your channel. Just start uploading.

Just stay consistent and upload frequently. If you use what I shared today then you can potentially earn $4,000 in one month as I did. Good luck to everyone!
