GOLD! HOT!Oh man, that's amazing to hear!!! :D I'm glad you've started your journey through MJ's books - I remember coming across this forum for the firrst time (after reading TMF and Unscripted back to back as well) and going through some of the GOLD threads.

GOLD! HOT!More than happy to share! - after all, I wanted to be as transparent as possible with this thread. I'm going to be making a full post explaining how Ad Revenue works on YouTube soon, but for now I'll just break down my own stats. Remember that these differ from channel to channel, depending...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!You legend, Tubs! Aha, yeah - I remember when first starting this thread thinking "damn, looks like it's only Andy that's been reading any of these entries LMAO", and then you chimed in with the support and that gave me a little boost to continue posting. Super grateful man... and I'm glad...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Ahahaha - yeah, I saw this!! Really surreal when I watch someone else reacting to my stuff... before, I would watch other people react to my favourite YouTubers, and now I'm the person being reacted to... Very strange feeling...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Definitely going to be doing this!! I already have the "teaser trailer" for this video ready, and I'm going to be utilising the YouTube Premiere feature to add some extra hype, but I'll be doing this closer to the release date!- Valier

GOLD! HOT!I'm trying my best to get some sort of course going, but I have to admit: things are getting quite overwhelming. My biggest priority right now is getting this next video out... but my God is it a giant project that I can only reasonably expect to be out in the next 4-5 weeks, and I'm working...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!That is amazing! Ahahaha, well - as I said, I'm glad I've put people on your books. Just like Andy said, it's a perfect example of a productocracy. I was paid a grand total of NOTHING from MJ to not only reccomend his books on three of my videos, but also dedicate an entire video to it - all...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Thank you so much for the donation, my friend! I saw one the donation today, but never got around to sending a "thank you" email in response. And those are very kind words :) - my ultimate goal with the videos has always been to create that sense of narrative and story that keeps you...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Yeah, I actually think there are plenty of channels out there that don't include their faces, but are doing a great job. I only wanted my face in there for the additional personal touch - but it isn't a massive dealbreaker if your face isn't there. But just like your senses, when one thing is...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Not too sure about Samsung phones, since I've always been an iPhone person, but purely based on price point - I think it should be fine!- Valier

The Toxic World of Self-Help (Video)
HOT! MINDSETI agree with this for the most part... except this industry in particular is something much bigger than just convincing sales copy. The video touches on it in broad strokes, but there is an entire rabbit hole of what can essentially be labelled as a pyramid scheme, cult-like communities, and...- Valier

Creating a Thriving Personal Brand w/ YouTube - A Journal & A Personal Guide.
GOLD! HOT!Yeah, I don't think the "tech" is all too important when starting out. BUT, if the audio is bad, then it has the potential to have viewers tune off immediately simply because of the audio quality. This is why I invested in the microphone right at the start, and still used an iphone camera to...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!So I would definitely say that your SEO and other such meta data matter at the start - I don't think it should be ignored completely. The most important aspects of your video that are necessary to rank in searches are the first few words of your TITLE, and the first sentences of your...- Valier

GOLD! HOT!Thank you!! Yes - I properly started getting into editing when I started the channel, and from there on it was a case of constantly learning new things, and making improvements with each video. Microphone: Blue Yeti Nano Software: Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop. I only started...- Valier

The Toxic World of Self-Help (Video)
HOT! MINDSETNo problem at all! So with movie clips in the way I use them - it all falls under fair use. As long as it's altered in some way and isn't just rehashed straight up, then it's all good. There are plenty other bigger channels than mine that use movie clips and the like that are monetised, and...- Valier

HOT! MINDSETAnd I can definitely understand this. In hindsight, I wished I could have included more about having a balance with taking action and reading self-help (something I tried to point out in my pinned comment, but of course will be missed by many).- Valier

GOLD! HOT!It falls within fair use! I'm not the only channel on YouTube that uses movie clips/clips from other videos. There are countless other content creators using movie clips in their videos; channels that are bigger than mine, and they have had no issues with copyright strikes.- Valier
