best earning ways

 

Free to earn: -  So today I'm gonna be talking about what I think might be the most overlooked and most ignored method out there to make money online. Yep, using this method, you can make $10,000 plus every month by creating and uploading basic videos online. Yes, and to help you with this method, not only am I gonna show how it works but I'm also going to be showing you the three part process to setting up this method yourself. First, I'll be taking a look at different types of basic videos that you can upload, and then next I'll show you the three ways that people are earning $10,000 plus a month from uploading these basic videos. And then finally, I'll show you step by step me making and creating one of these basic videos. Yes, and as you will see, creating one of these basic videos just took me minutes and I didn't have to be on camera and I didn't even have to use my voice. And possibly the best thing of all, creating this basic video was 100% free. Yes, for free. I really wanted to make sure that there was a free method out there to do this because as my long time subscribers know, I absolutely love earning free money online, almost as much as I love giving out my free eternal gratitude, because yes, you can get my eternal gratitude for free by taking a moment to click the like button and to subscribe, because seriously, every time you do it, it genuinely supports me. So thank you so much for those of you out there that take a moment to do so. So yes, now that you've gotten my eternal gratitude, we can move on to the real reason why I know you are here, which is this, to learn how to make money by uploading your own basic videos. So then let's take a look at some real examples of money making basic video strategies that you can copy for yourself. So genuinely what I said earlier, it is no exaggeration. I absolutely believe that this is currently the most overlooked method to make money online right now. And I'll explain why I think it's so overlooked shortly but before I do, I think it's good to just take a moment to check out some of these basic videos for myself. And that we need to head on over to YouTube Shorts. Now here is the thing, if you've never heard about YouTube Shorts before, it's the part of the app where creators can upload mobile optimized videos. It's an infinite scroll feed, you just keep scrolling, and new short video clips will play that are a maximum of 60 seconds long. Now basically you can think of this as YouTube's answer to TikTok. Yes, YouTube saw TikTok launch in 2016 with this exact same concept, and they saw how it exploded, it made a ton of money and they also saw how they started to lose users to TikTok and how it was becoming a genuine competitor to them which they had never ever had before. And so YouTube looked at TikTok and thought, well, gee, we already have the most successful video app and the most successful video website in the world so why don't we just copy what TikTok is doing and steal those users back to us. And so that's exactly what YouTube did. Less than a year ago now, YouTube launched their own short form mobile videos. You just click the Shorts button and now you basically have TikTok, but it's on YouTube. The videos are obviously drastically different from other sorts of videos on YouTube, each video can only be 60 seconds long max, and they're usually filmed with just your phone. And often as you will see, they're often super duper basic, especially when you compare them to normal YouTube videos like this one here that you're watching from me that I've edited and made. And so I'm gonna show you some examples of these super duper basic videos so that you can get your own inspiration for videos that you can create and upload too. So first up, our quiz videos. Video based games like quizzes are actually a super successful genre on YouTube Shorts that lots of people don't know about. So it's kind of a hidden secret. You take this video here, it's had over four million views and this is just one of the many quiz videos that they have created and uploaded. They have tons of others like this one here that have 100s of 1000s to millions of views, and you can get pretty creative with the games that you create. So for example, personality quizzes are another example of a video based game that do well on here. And this video here is a great example, this video has had over 1 million views. It's a very basic video. You pick a number and then depending on the number that you picked, it will tell you something about you like whether you're funny or you're cute or things like that. And because YouTube Shorts is huge in India, they were really smart and they chose to translate their video so that it's both in Hindi and English and now they can get dealers worldwide. So this could be a great basic video for you to consider uploading for two reasons, firstly, you don't have to be on camera and you don't have to talk or use your voice. And secondly, you can create basic quiz videos 100% for free. Yes, in fact, later on, I'll be showing you exactly how I made my own basic YouTube quiz Shorts video for free in just a few minutes, and actually another type of basic video that you can make without being on camera, if you like games, is to start a gaming channel where you film yourself playing mobile games. This channel here has lots of videos with millions of views with them playing Minecraft and then using in-game sound effects to recreate TV show theme songs. And I think my favorite has to be their Squid Games video. (intense ambient music) And actually because surprise, surprise, a lot of my subscribers run online stores using your products to create viral videos is actually another great type of basic video that you can make as well. So for example, if you've got a print on demand store that sells funny or quirky products that have viral potential, showing these off have been very successful. This video here film with a phone has had over 2 million views. Now, can you imagine how many mugs you would sell if your video had 2 million views? Although trust me, it's about to get even crazier because for our next video, it's had over 160 million views. Yep, this video is basically just an ad for a wall power adaptor. It's just a basic 15 second video filmed with a phone but it's so clever in my opinion, because you watch this and you think, oh yeah, that's happened to me. I wish that I'd had a power adapter like this. And yeah, this basic video has had 160 million plus views, which is pretty incredible, but what's even more incredible is that this channel became successful pretty much immediately. I mean, yes, this channel now has over 600,000 subscribers but they didn't always used to, if we come and order their videos by oldest, you'll see that this channel is less than a year old and that their very first video got 10s of 1000s of views. And in less than a month, they had had their first super viral hit with 10s of millions of views. And that may be surprising to most people, but to me, it isn't because the thing you have to understand is that YouTube is completely and utterly desperate for you to create and upload videos because you see, here's the thing, right, whenever I mention that YouTube is a good website to make money on, I'll inevitably get people who will be like, well, gee Sarah, the only reason why people watch your videos is because you already have a bunch of subscribers. I'm just a rando, no, one's gonna watch my videos, and well, firstly that's not true, but secondly, that's especially not true when it comes to YouTube Shorts. So to explain what I mean, I'm just gonna get a bit mathsy for a moment, okay. So when most people watch a YouTube video, they don't watch it all the way through. On average, someone might watch it for about 40 to 50% of the video. So then let's say that on average videos on YouTube tend to be 10 minutes long. Well, that means on average people watch a video on YouTube for four to five minutes per video. And so that means then that for YouTube to keep you entertained for an hour, they have to find at least 12 videos to entertain you because 12 times five is 60 minutes. I. e. an hour. And so again, bear with me here while I am being mathsy. So let's come and take YouTube Shorts. Well, YouTube Shorts

tend to be on average about 30 seconds long, and the same thing applies, people generally watch a video for about 50% of its length. And so there it means then that on average people watch a YouTube Shorts video for 15 seconds. That means then that to keep you entertained for an hour just with YouTube Shorts, they have to find 240 videos to show you because 240 times 15 seconds is 60 minutes, i. e. an hour. Ergo, that's a lot of videos that YouTube needs. And so they are in desperate need for as many creators as possible both established and unestablished to upload videos because they have this huge quotient of videos that they need to fill. So yes, now that we understand why super basic videos do well for both established and non established creators because of that massive quota, and we've seen some examples of basic videos that can be created and uploaded to YouTube, let's move on then to this next question. How can you use your basic videos to make money? And, well, here are three different ways that you can do it. Although as you'll see, none of these methods involve AdSense because right now YouTube Shorts doesn't have ads. And so you can't make money with AdSense with them. Although given we know how much YouTube like ads, I am sure that this is going to change in the future. But in the meantime, they have created this YouTube Shorts fund. This is 100 million that they've set aside for Shorts creators. The more views you get, the more cash that YouTube pays you. And this fund is kind of a hidden secret when I talked about it in another video, lots of people told me they had no idea that this method to make money from Shorts videos existed. And well, now you know. These basic little videos, they're getting cash payouts (indistinct) from YouTube themselves up to 10,000 US dollars a month. And so this is how they're able to monetize which is pretty cool. And so any quiz video you make can make money this way. But of course, if you're watching this and you're selling your own products, this can be a really great way to advertise them and get sales and earn money that way. I mean, think about it, do you have a print on demand store that's selling funny or weird mugs? Well, you can link to your mugs in your video description, and if you're watching this and you're thinking, well, gee Sarah, I have a cool idea for a funny mug that I think could go viral on YouTube Shorts, but I don't know how to make and sell it. Well, my friend, you're in luck because I have a free ebook that shows how I and others are earning passive income online every day selling merch like mugs thanks to print on demand for free. The six steps at six figure online source followed to make over $10,000 a month. And you'll find the link to download my free ebook in the video description below. But anyway, back to the video, and of course, we can't see get about our dude here who has over 160 million views for what is essentially an ad for a power wall adapter, can we now? Can you imagine how much money you would make if you set up a drop shipping store for this that you link to in your video description. You could drop ship it from AliExpress for $2 and mark it up for $5 a pop individually or you could sell them as a discounted pack of four for $20. Boom. I can't even begin to guess how many power adapters you would sell, but even if you didn't wanna have to go through the hassle of setting up your own dropshipping store, that's absolutely fine because you can still make money by selling these power adapters. Thanks to this, the AliExpress Affiliate Program, you can sign up for this and they will give you a special tracking URL that you can put in your video description and you can earn commissions per sale, if someone clicks on your link and then buy something from AliExpress, like the power adapter. AliExpress pays up to 50% commissions per sale. So for example, I have this video here which is a tutorial for one of my favorite graphic apps, Canva, in my description, I have an affiliate link to Canva. When you click on it, the little tracking code and it tracks with the purchase the Canva app after clicking my affiliate link. And if you do go ahead and click my link and purchase something, I get a commission. And so each month I get cash payouts from Canva. So imagine combining this affiliate marketing method with the AliExpress Affiliate Program and then making a viral video using one of their gadgets that people can buy on here and then posting your affiliate link directly to the product on AliExpress so people can go buy it. 160 million views would probably bring in a lot of commissions. So as you can see, there are several ways to make money from the basic videos that you create and upload. So next up, let's go ahead and make one of these videos for free. And to do that, we will actually be coming back to Canva. See what I did there? Because what a lot of people don't know is that Canva isn't just a graphic design app, it can also be a basic video app editor as well. You can make videos on here and upload them to Shorts. Now to do that, we will need to use their pro account, not their free account. However, Canva does have a huge 30 day free trial so you can set up a free 30 day trial account here for their pro account and start making Shorts videos with no cost to you. And of course, I will have a link to Canva in the video description below. Please note that is an affiliate link, using it is entirely optional but it is always appreciated if you do, so thank you. So yes, here is an over the shoulder step by step clip of me making a basic quiz video from scratch with Canva. So with Canva, the way that it works is that each Canva page is one scene in a video. You set the link that you want it to be on screen for. So I set this page to be on screen for five seconds and then I just drag and drop onto it a picture, my quiz question text, and an animated five second countdown timer. All of this is included for free with the Canva Pro account. Now of course, I just made a quick little quiz video about dogs, just for fun. I just wanted to pick a fun topic to make it on but obviously, you'll want to make your quiz video about something that's actually trending and popular. I just used dogs as a filler topic for this video. So after I finished my first quiz page with my questions, I then went and made a second page after it and set it to play for two seconds, and then I just added in the answer and I used the text animation tool to have the answer pop out for some fun visual flare, just like that other quiz video that we saw earlier did. And now if we preview our basic video, you will see that we have created a working quiz where the question is shown on screen for five seconds as it counts down, and then the answer pops up which is perfect and exactly what we want. And so as you've probably figured out, to make a full quiz video, you just repeat this process for each question. Yep, pretty simple, pretty basic. Just add in more pages, i. e. scenes with different questions and different answers like I did here. And my end result was that in just a few minutes, I had created my own basic quiz video for free, yay. As I said, I just use dogs as an example but you can pick a popular or trending topic to make your quiz videos around. You can also add in sound effects and music directly into Canva or you can use the built in music to the YouTube Shorts app which is probably better as YouTube has access to some super popular songs by famous singers and artists. And if you want some tips and tricks for giving your shorts videos good titles, there are lots of free tutorials you can watch on YouTube about the best practices to title your videos and choose video tags. You can make money from any shorts videos, including quiz videos by taking advantage of YouTube cash payouts. Yay. So then, did my video inspire you?
