Why You're Not Making Money on YouTube (Stop Doing This)
Do NOT Make This Mistake
- Read until the end for a very special announcement -
Let’s say I showed you a YouTube channel with 3.5M subscribers
How many views do you think they would be generating per video?
100,000 views?
500,000 views?
1,000,000 views?
What if I told you it was on average just 15,000 views?
That would be pretty strange, right?
That means that their videos are only reaching an audience that’s 0.5% of their total number of subscribers
To me, when I see situations like this I know that these channels have absolutely messed up
And that they are totally ignorant to the concept of Niche Alignment
If you’re unfamiliar, Niche Alignment is the uniformity of topics on your channel
It means that if you are a keto channel, that’s all you talk about
If you’re a dividend investing channel then all your videos relate to this topic
Why is that important? Because it maximizes returning viewers as you build an audience with one core topic of interest
Where some channels go wrong is ignoring this concept
And then they end up with a weak view baseline
Take the example channel Improvement Pill
3.59 million subscribers generating 15,000 views per video
Why? The videos are actually quite good
The trouble is that someone subscribing to learn about rejection may not want to watch content about becoming confident or learning about the “Liking Gap”
This means that they ignore these video recommendations and stop getting recommended Improvement Pill’s content
Leading to what we call “Ghost Subscribers”
Now, here’s an example of channel content done right
Daniel is someone I’ve advised in the past and a friend who was able to quit his 9-5 job thanks to his very successful credit card YouTube channel
You can see that he doesn’t scatter his topics, they all relate to one subject: credit cards
This allows him to generate more views per video than one with 3.59M subscribers
So, if you’re not making money on YouTube, it could be because you have ignored the concept of niche alignment
However, this is just one of the things people get wrong in their quest in making money on YouTube
To help streamline your path to YouTube growth and monetization I am releasing my brand new YouTube Automation Guide called Tube Tactics: The Complete Blueprint To Making $5,000/mo With YouTube Automation
Inside is all my knowledge from over 5 years of making money on YouTube. These strategies have helped myself and numerous students scale up their channels to $1,000s a month.
