haha drop me a trust! I'd love to know!
Still waiting...
I actually started another channel. Well, I actually renamed a channel I wasn't using and it may seem mad, but it makes sense in my head and I tried to map out the long game in that vs. my like and interests and how to potentially monetize those opportunities.
Here is the basis of my interests:
You have interests at the top, channels below where I have audiences that transcend the interests. Purple ones are not monetized, but worth growing audiences for the fact that they cross these interests and subsequent activities. The two youtube channels are blue as they are channels, but have the potential to also generate revenue.
Going left to right, the orange are project cars etc. while they're potential "assets" we all know that project cars are seldom more than a money pitso it's a liability, but as it feeds to potential generation of revenue, it's an expense.
Red/Pink you have investments. This is where I put my money each month. I have a split on where I put X% of my salary each month between all of them. These are not revenue generating, but future wealth, so to speak. Long term.
Yellow is direct products I am building, which is why it spans all spaces for both.
Green is potential revenue generation, which a lot can come from affliate through other activities and investments, through a big enough audience, hence the link and requirement of the audience.
Finally, you have digital products I have on offer/ in production (courses are in progress right now as it happens).
It may seem weird but for me structuring it out more helped to think about what's important and where to put most efforts when it comes to growth or "marketing" or growth of channels and what the impact of that would be.
I can't link the new channel, but it's called Real Talk Business and it's literally starting with 0 subs
I'm pulling back to 1 video a week on the other channel too, it was 2 because I was getting the stuff done, but want to structure it more going forward and it'll be too hard to maintain a 2 per week with getting the work done on all the projects
The reason I cited both twitter and linkedin as channels is due to the following and the potential reach in certain spaces. I recently got back on twitter and have been enjoying the conversations and likeminded folk "building in public" which is great for marketing for your ventures, too. Talking about what you're doing and all your wins and **** ups haha
Engagement has been decent so far the last month anyway:
Although my audience is smaller here, only 941, I do think there is potential to plug away and grow this engaging with people and joining the conversation.
Likewise, I've been on Linkedin for years now. Longer than facebook I think. So my audience is pretty large, so would make sense to maximise the growth there, too.
So yea, that's how I spent my week off with COVID, I plotted out my personal strategy like a business and created priorities around it all. Annnnd now you know why I'm now single
Piece of cake to do it, but from my experience in mixing things... _most_ people will come to a channel for one niche. I tried with the old channel to be pretty mixed and was like nah you're wrong... but it's true!
The slog from the bottom is real! haha Although I can't help but feel excited by the challenge, but I think that's because I obviously like inflicting pain on myself
Still slogging away. Week by week, little improvements as I go. I need some sound deadening in my office to counter the solid surfaces. I'll sort that this month.
Either way, nearly up to $10 a month - life changing
I've earned about 500 in affiliates since then as well, which is obviously worth way more than the YT ad rev. so not totally rubbish.
Ignore the cables, you can't see them from any other angle, so stfu
Spray glue. It'll come off if I want but they're on decently. Shouldn't leave any perm damage!
He says
Woo! Broke the $10 mark per month... next stop $1k?
Just need 100x more, we're all good.
Thanks to @AndyCr15 I've ordered some accoustic panels which will arrive tomorrow, so I can get some better deadening in here. I have a nice video to do for next week on alternative investments. I've reached out to all the companies I am looking at for affiliate links if I don't already have them, so hopefully set that up before next week.
I hated it. Really wasn't comfortable at all but then figure **** it, who actually cares tbh? After a bit, I think you just get to embrace it. You always have to be open to the fact that anything you put online will open you to someone calling you a *******, but hey! haha
Yea, I think they're very young in age. Only started about a year ago, but their aim is to grow in the space and for me bringing on more wine people will be massively helpful in that way. I suppose it's also a real toss up between market wants (lockup periods) and what's best for wine. I think a lot of people at the lower price point of entry also have issues about longer lockup periods. That's my assumption based on Qs I have had on other videos about lockups. I do very much see what you're saying though, too. Will see where it goes. Maybe the UK needs similar
as this is a US / SEC registered thing, so for me to do it means I need to go via something like tribevest to be able to access it. But a UK version... hahaha
My search terms are not that common, but common enough to still get decent (for me lol) enough numbers coming in, so they're pretty niche. I rank pretty well, here are some private browser shots on search:
just passed $15 for those 2500, so RPM at $7.50? You must still get about $75 a month? The way I've looked at things and tried to break it down is less about the ad money, as it's not a lot, but more about the number of potential eyes to convert to get me some $ in some other way!
That's not bad at 200 a month! I really thought about this model and so 200 for me completely be more about the views and possibility to convert to referral.
It's niche on those products, but with the $$ offered on each of them for referrals, it's worth it for good ranking and a smaller pie as the conversion rate is much higher, too. The stake conversion is 1/90 from views to sign up at the moment and 1/19 invest rate on top of that. (38 signed up out of 3253 views, 2 invested out of 38 signed up) So this is all the stuff I think about when planning **** out when it comes to videos and then sometimes I do them just because I want to and have no other monetization involved in it.
So many use this. If you're creating content and not making money but spending on adobe it's a negative sum. I happen to have the full package for all the other things I do, so I use it a lot for many things. If I didn't, I'd use resolve.
