    I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.

    Buying views outside CZcams, Google and face book, buying views is what is happening with all these “Invalid Views” epidemic on CZcams. The best way to grow is to let it happen naturally. Never ever pay for easy views. Invalid views will take years to work itself out of your analytics, I did it 3 years ago for a few months and only now an I ranking for my niches: gaming and movie reviews. Don’t be tempted, it took almost 2 years for it to run its course.

      2nd, you have to make more relevant videos. If nobody knows the game you're playing, they won't search for it and CZcams won't know who to suggest the video to.

    Should mention: "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a Promotion do not contribute towards CZcams Partner Program eligibility." AKA you can't just buy your way to CZcams's monetisation requirements with the YT Promotions or Google Ads.
    EDIT: I've done some testing on a brand new, unmonetised channel, and it seems like CZcams are lying. Despite their official disclaimer, right now [November, 2023] the subscribers you get through these methods DO count towards the YPP requirements. Do what you will with that information...

      Do a video on (Rpm). And what REAL channels make on REAL views here. I have under 30,000 subscribers. I do not inflate anything. My RPM average per month is always over $10.00. I see $15.00 RPM's on uploads on launch a few times a month.
      100,000 views for me is no less than $1000.00. And can be as much as $1,400.00.
      People who buy views make under $5.00 per 1000 views. And most likely $2 or $3.
      There is that big of a difference between a REAL channel.....and an inflated channel.

    I bought the YT Promotion for my first video, I was on 121 subscribers. I put 25€ for budget and let it run for 2 weeks. Ended 1st of oct 2023. YT says that I got 2,2k views and 244 subscribers through that promotion. But I actually gained a lot more subscribers and am now on 592 which means I actually gained around 470 subscribers in that 2 week period. While it sounds great, getting all these subs, but it actually doesnt make you feel good and accomplished. Mixed feelings with that.

    If truly think about this, you’re really paying to get eyes on your channel.

I feel like this is the most valuable ROI for ads if you aren’t actually selling anything.

    13:44 I actually had a really strange experience with this a while back. Either youtube did something really strange or someone decided to view-bot my most popular video, and out of nowhere it got an extra one million views over the course of two days. However, the amount of subscribers gained and revenue didn't go up at all, and along with this the retention rate completely died. After about two days, the video had all of those views automatically removed and the retention rate went back to what it previously was, but the video took a pretty substantial hit in terms of viewership for a couple weeks afterwards before returning to what it was doing before and is now performing well for such an old video.

  • @koaven9560
    @koaven9560 Před 5 měsíci +6

    generally think that problem with people doing CZcams is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Post them consistently (and use a bit of Famester as well), don't post everything straight away. This also helps avoid burn out...

    I just wanted to say that CZcams promotions really does work if you are a newer channel trying to get your subscriber count up. I’m just getting started. My channel has 9 videos. I picked two videos that I liked to promote and give them a $300 budget over 2 weeks. My subscriber count is climbing by 10 subs a day which is far more than I ever got organically. Currently on my way to 1,000 subs. But wanted you to know that this really does work. I am paying more than you did per subscriber though - perhaps that’s the niche I am in. But wanted to say thanks for sharing this information. Really helpful.

    You should have done the comparison on the same video for a more fair comparison. Nevertheless if so, better targeting and headlines may give completely different results.

If I was a CZcamsr I think I would try to promote the channel as a whole instead of a certain video, if that video isn't something very unique and narrowly targeted, triggering more often subscriptions.
