Why No One Is Watching Your Youtube Videos (And What To Do About It)
Like Martin Luther King, you have a dream…
But unlike his dream of bringing people of all races together
Your dream is to scale up your YouTube channel
And have it paying you $1,000s every single month
The trouble is, you’re barely getting any views…
Trust me, I’ve been there
Spending $100s making videos only to have them flop
And wonder if I’ll ever get my break on YouTube
Well, after earning $100,000s on YouTube I can tell you that your break will come
But only if you stop making these 3 mistakes
That are holding you back from starting to make real progress on the platform
Mistake #1: Trying to take shortcuts
It’s human nature to want to take the path of least resistance to success
This is why everyone wants to find the new trick or tactic to achieving the success they desire
When it comes to YouTube, there are multiple ways people try and game the system
For example, they try running Google Ads towards their videos to increase their views
Not knowing that those views don’t qualify for public watch hours
Hence they don’t get you any closer to getting your channel monetized
Or they try and rely 100% on AI tools to help create their videos
Which results in low-quality content being made that struggles to even reach 10 views
The truth is that if it were easy to make money on YouTube
EVERYONE would be doing it…
So what’s the fix?
Respect the process…
Learn how to identify high-demand video topics
Develop or outsource high-quality scriptwriting skills
Spend time or money crafting engaging thumbnails
Because I can promise you one thing
Channels generating 100,000s of views per month
Are not using tricks or cheap tactics to get there
And are certainly not making their videos in an Easy-Bake oven
Mistake #2: Overestimating your skills
Many people wanting to start a faceless YouTube channel have the “I’ll do it all myself” mentality
I love this because it shows that they are willing to invest their precious time into building their channel
However, this approach falls apart when there’s a clear skill gap on the side of the creator…
Often those who “do it all themselves” end up making very low-production videos
Or try and take the shortcut approached mentioned above
For example, if you’re trying to compete with a channel like Magnates Media
One of the top faceless channels on YouTube
And you’re coming to the table with something like this…
You can’t expect to realize any appreciable amount of success on the platform
This is why you really have two options when starting a faceless channel:
1. Develop production skills that make you competitive in the market
2. Outsource to those with the skills you need
But how do you compete without a large budget or a high-grade production skillset?
You’ll find out in the final mistake…
Mistake #3: Not investing in learning
The more you learn, the more you earn
Corny - but true
From my experience, it’s those that invest the most that succeed the most and fastest on YouTube
For instance, those that work with me 1-on-1 in my Tube Launch program get monetized lightyears faster than those who don’t
But it’s not just about investing financially…
Those that invest their time into studying the market for gaps in content ideas
Or those who commit time every week to studying their channel’s analytics
Always get further ahead than those who don’t
On YouTube, knowledge is power (yes - another corny saying)
The great news about starting a channel in 2024 is that there are endless resources at your disposal
You can take courses, watch educational YouTube videos or read newsletters like this one to get ahead
In my eyes, it’s kind of like going to college
You start the journey knowing you’ll be investing 4 years and $10,000 to get the skills to acquire a $50,000+ job
It’s the same for YouTube
You should expect to have to put in the time and money to build up your cashflowing channel
And when this expectation is set and the investment of resources commences
Getting monetized and scaling up your channel to $1,000s is possible
Therefore, don’t take shortcuts, objectively assess your skills and invest in learning
And soon those monthly YouTube checks will be rolling in
Until next week,
Adam
