YouTube Journey

I'm not going to link it because some here will be dicks and report me

I am uploading another 45 video's.

I get my video's from government archives

United States government creative works, including writing, images, and computer code, are usually prepared by officers or employees of the United States government as part of their official duties. A government work is generally not subject to copyright in the United States and there is generally no copyright restriction on reproduction, derivative works, distribution, performance, or display of a government work. Unless the work falls under an exception, anyone may, without restriction under U.S. copyright laws:

Reproduce the work in print or digital form
Create derivative works
Perform the work publicly
Display the work
Distribute copies or digitally transfer the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending

>100 videos a day
Are you Webdriver Torso?

Youtube analytics favor consistent uploads, so you wouldn't be able to live off of it for very long. It'd be better to pace it. I don't know how much viral content you'll get out of government archives. You'd be better off making top 10 videos or social experiments.

I get 100 euro from 1 million views

most of my traffic in spanish unfortunately... i dont know how to get the usa kids watching my shit

im making videos that have no text so they can potentially go viral worldwide

i only have few videos but high quality original content, so i get a lot of views and a good following, problem is rate is low, like 0,65

is the ip you upload from relevant? what matters to rank a video in the usa?

Are you one of those goys that post product videos from Amazon?

Guessing you script some scrapper that copies and converts images into videos?

no, im not giving details lol

I hate arrogant fucks who believe that by making Youtube videos, you are entitled to receive money. No, you better create original content. You better create good content. And you must be able to hold people's attention.
If your sole purpose of making videos is to make money, you are doing it wrong and people are going to see right through it.
Don't do Let's Plays. Don't do Unboxing vids. Don't do Make-up tuts. Don't do reviews. Don't do the Leafy-esque drama shit. Don't 'vlog' unless you are a very very interesting person and have a very very interesting medium to do these boring videos on. Maybe if you had a time machine to 2007, you could do these videos, but I guarantee you will go nowhere.

So you're saying all I have to do is:

>be gay
>vlog about my boring life

Is it really that simple?

I don't make YouTube video's, the government makes them and I upload them.

I am now 5 days in and I got 143 video's uploaded and 10 organic subscribers. About 10 of my video's have more then 500 views and 1 got more then 3000.

This is easy as fuck.

What's your keyword or title strategy?
Do you post any links off-site or are you relying simply on people searching for the topics related to the videos?

Now you probably won't want to answer, but what video or topic is getting the most traffic? Any speculation why?

If you want to live off adsense being like Leafy is exactly what you want to do.
He gets the same views as quality content creators and it only takes him 5 hours to crank out a video.
This is speculation, but I'd assume you could make more money than him if you lived off Patreon though.

I'm really considering moving to the US and do the most stupid pranks with my French accent

>What's your keyword or title strategy?

-Short Catchy Titles
-Associated Keywords
-Tempting Thumbnails

Any clues as to what you talk about? Im actually interested and will sub, also willing to turn off adblock for you honey ;)

What does your channel start with, just the letter.

167 video's now. Today I want to reach 200 at least.

>Don't do Let's Plays. Don't do Unboxing vids. Don't do Make-up tuts. Don't do reviews. Don't do the Leafy-esque drama shit. Don't 'vlog'

So you want to be poor?

What are those videos?

OP said they are non-copyrighted US Government videos... now that might be war footage, educational videos or other information campaign material, stuff for the National Parks Service, Presidential Inaugurations, hell... does anyone know if the Nixon and LBJ tapes are public domain?

>Guessing you script some scrapper that copies and converts images into videos?
holy fuck that's a good idea, cheers bud

This yes

I have access to 500 gb of not uploaded government material. Don't ask me how.

I was at 175 video's but now I am back at 150 video's because I deleted all those with copyright notices.

Still going to continue though. The sad thing is these government video's are uncompressed and fucking big.

This

I think that at 1000 video's I will enable adsense on my video's. I already got it associated and can do it anytime but I want to wait a while because i don't want any sudden copyright material and in the short amount of time I want to cash in as much as possible so I might even wait till I have 5000 video's, and then wait another month to see if some of them get taken down due to dicks reporting them for copyright. Even though it's public domain there are always some dicks out there

OH YES

Make a torrent and gimmie gimmie

Are you that Snowden guy?

dont wait m8. just enable it now. i have adsense on my vids and sometimes i upload copyrighted material but the whole 'three strike' thing is bullshit, its just a spook. unless you upload movies or tv shows

etc.

The plural of "video" is "videos". Not "video's". I seriously hope that English isn't your first language.

It isn't my first language. I am Dutch.
When I use my phone for posts, they get really screwed up.

Soon.

THERE WE GO BOYS

OP what's your channel called I wanna see these government archives. Also free views??

Reeeeee

>implying video is'nt

enjoy the ban

?

I am now at 243 video's

I notice that even though the videos I upload are public domain, about 30% still gets put a copyright notice and is not elegible for monetization. I immediately delete all of those.

The copyright sytem of YouTube is truly broken.

Someone else is probably monetizing them.

So here are my stats after a week or so,
265 video's.
No revenue because i haven't enabled ads yet.

forgot image

It will take about 40 weeks to reach 10000 video's at this rate, at about 1 to 2 hours of work everyday.

>i haven't enabled ads yet.
why? seriously what could possibly be the benefit of waiting?

Cause the revenue would be shit.
Once I have 10.000 video's and if enable it THEN, I will make 10 bucks a day with it immediately. If I enable it now, I make maybe 10 cents a day with the risk of losing adsense completely if I get copyright strikes.

I'm not into this for a short term gain.

This is genius and I would like to do this. Do you work anywhere else and are you just going to use this as passive income?

I've planning create Counter Strike Global Offensive videos.

Tell me your segment or type of content so I can profit in my country.

>tfw no content to upload for ez money
congrats op

How do you get access to these 1000's of uncopyrighted videos? I need these

Librarian.

Update

So I have 285 video's uploaded now and looking at my statistics I already get 1000 views a day on average since I started.

This is going to be much easier than I thought. If 285 video's mean 1000 views a day than some calculations give me that i only need 2850 video's for 10.000 views a day! This would mean that with 10.000 video's I would get 35.000 views a day, with adsense enabled that is about 35$ a day.

nice.

bad logic

Gonna start doing this, got pretty decent internet. What kind of videos should I upload? Recommendations?

I could always make a channel with weird stuff that makes people ask what the fuck I am doing, which generates the dank views.

So you live in the Netherlands, but upload US government material?

Yes.

I will give the next update when I am at 500 video's.

Not just US government material, just all kinds of public domain material. But there is US government material in between it

Oh ok, that's really interesting. Do you use individual tags for each video? That would take very long for thousands of videos, but bring more viewers.

And about the videos that get flagged, wouldn't it be better to mail YouTube about it instead of deleting them?

Yes I use individual tags for most.
No, I don't contact youtube, too much work and i don't want to be on their list

Very cool idea senpai. Good luck, I wish you the best in your biz.

How's it going? :3

Steadily going forward

> mfw when I thought it was pornhub
past few months I started getting interested into making youtube video. I already have a dslr and I would buy a shotgun mic for quality sound. I would make some dolly shots whit music, basically what people like. It would be a blog channel whit gaming and shit. I would use twitter as a way to advertise my channel and instagram. what do you think of it guys?

35 bucks a day isn't a lot of money

Don't worry we're sure he'll make it big like his hero Pewpewpiecake.

That will grow with time.
Once the view is in, the view will never get out :^)

are you indian? your logic is pretty indian like.

Why not just add your own affiliate links? I'm a total sperg and people still bought stuff after watching my vidyas. Need to make more of them fro real

wat

I found this website.. looks decent enough. if you guys have a look and let me know. if you like it please please use my referal link so i can make money :) thanks hasheer.com/r/4yah5j

Really interesting thread, you can do this with old radio-casts and some old cartoons too (in some countries anyway)

I'm not gonna make it senpai.

1 view has been deposited into your account.

thanks senpai

This is from about a 1.5 weeks minus the last 2 days (analytics doesn't count the last 2 days)

I have about 345 video's now. Today I want to reach 400.

So you're putting in countless hours of work for nothing basically? Your best case scenario is making 1k Euros per month? Please tell me you're jk.

>Countless hours of work
About 2 hours a day for 6 months, or about 336 hours of total work, for a passive income stream of 500-1000 euro's a month that will continue without any more work putting into it
Just kys :^)

How are you getting views and why is it 0.00 revenue?

Weaboo weaboo you're just a weaboo

gtfo

Read the thread.

I did an accurate count and I am 10 days in now, with 11000 views, so thats more than 1000 views a day already. My aim is 10000 views a day for now so that´s about 100 days in.

I make this thread because it keeps me on track and so that you can follow this experiment.

Pic = views of my top videos

This is a long term project and I won't enable ads yet because I value my adsense account + the revenue I would make now would be of no use to me. I will enable it when I have between 1000 to 10000 video's because than I can get a useful amount of revenue from it. There's always a risk of losing your adsense due to whatever reason so in the time that I ahve it enabled and I have the account I want to make as much as possible and for that I need a lot of video's.

What is the name of your channel... how the hell do you have so many videos?

What is the channel called i want to know what content you upload (more specifically). If you're not going to tell us could you upload a webm or something?

Are you Wikileaks?
Is this how whistle-blowers make bank from inside the embassy?

It's just archives and other stuff
Posting my channel here would be suicide
