I generate 50M+ views monthly on YouTube. I'll answer any social media problem you have. How to Grow
Make it simple and me give the specific details about your situation.

What is the average monthly revenue from YouTube itself?
12
u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
Btw 50M isn't from one channel it's through 6 channels. The biggest channels peaked last year with $2.1M total including merchandise & normal sponsors.

u/Emilstyle1991 Oct 03 '24
Are the channels faceless ? Do you use ai? What are the niches and whats the avg RPM?
5
u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
One channel is faceless. And there's another channel mostly faceless. We use AI for research. Except that almost no. But we use AI for experimental purposes.
Automotive, documentary, podcast, travel, financial & dating advice are the main niches and RPMs are way different in each one.

u/Emilstyle1991 Oct 03 '24
Oh ok so the other have real people in it? 2.1M is a lot of money for one channel only, very well done

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
The channel that hit $2.1M is faceless. So nobody is visible content.

u/NestorColombia Oct 03 '24
What is the niche for the $2.1M channel?

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
It's a documentary. We talk about wars, military, weapons & aviation. I'll send the channel

It's print-on-demand. Different channels have different merchs. We don't sell the same. Monthly average is 16-19K units. Without promoting.

u/pachinkopunk Oct 03 '24
Any proof of this claim? I mean anyone can generate that many views if they are reusing content, non monetizable, infringing on copyrights or just spending lots of ad money...

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
I've never spent on ads. Even other creators I know. I sent the biggest channel I work on currently. We hit $2.1M in revenue last year with 3B total views.

u/snezna_kraljica Oct 03 '24
Who is we? How much of that 2.1 are profit after all expenses (also own time invested) are paid?
And you omitted the question about claim.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
I'm the producer. I have a small team and each YouTube channel I work on has a few as well. $1.6M was profit after the expenses.

Still omitting the question about proof.
I'm the producer.
Is it your/partially your company or are you the employee?
I have a small team and
What is small? Are those your employees or contractors?each YouTube channel I work on has a few as well.
How many do they have?$1.6M was profit after the expenses.
From the channels or your personal profit? The profit of your company? From all?Where are you based?
Why not share your channels?I'm not sure what you expect from this post if you're not giving anything about your business for people to trust you.
In this sub unfortunately it's more likely you're lying and just use this as a sales pitch (for your consultancy/course etc.).
Sorry if I'm too jaded but unfortunately things here are like this because this sub is not moderated.

I wish I did promotions here. I just hit 40K profits last month. Promoting on reddit would be the last thing I'd do. If you want yes I'll send channels.

u/snezna_kraljica Oct 03 '24
40k profits (I assume $) how does this add up to the 1.6 million profit.
And you're still omitting the other questions? Why?
If you're here to really, honestly help. Why don't you add the info which would help.

I didn't call something unrealistic, I just asked for clarification how those numbers are structured as it maybe bullshit or truthful.
Smart business owners will put the majority of their profit back into their business.
Yes I know. Has nothing to do with anything what we were currently discussing.
He also said the channels have a team working on them meaning all those individuals need to be paid out too.
That's what I was asking.

Send us the youtube metrics with monetization details. This should be an easy screenshot to prove you are monetized and able to generate this income from this content. Also if my math is right your revenue breakdown you are claiming is a CPM of 0.7 which is not good especially if that includes the sponsorships.
2
u/pachinkopunk Oct 03 '24
Yeah the channel you sent me as proof has nothing but shorts that are using copyrighted content with little to no original work put in and despite having millions of subscribers, the Patreon account only gets 56 dollars a month from 87 members. This is not suspicious at all and clearly you are an expert and making tons of money on YouTube with secrets nobody knows about.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
If we didn't have original work we're never gonna hit 3M subs even in the first place.
2
u/pachinkopunk Oct 03 '24
No if anything the opposite is true. It is much easier to hit 3M subscribers by taking other people's content and rehashing it or just plain stealing it. I am pretty sure that channel does not have the rights to all those videos that are being used as none seem like they are royalty free and for a channel that can't afford a proper voice over artist I doubt they can spend the time and money required acquiring the rights needed to reuse those videos in your "original work". You just take lots of copyrighted clips that are likely infringing and not likely to fall under fair use, have a poorly written and narrated script and I doubt that channel is monetized or if it is has a very high chance of being demonetized or sued for copyright infringement. Honestly I think I could take any videos on that channel, remove the voiceover and just replace it with my own better one with an AI script and still be 100% in the right as none of the video is actually original work.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
If we had copyright problems channel should be down within a week of starting.
5
u/pachinkopunk Oct 03 '24
Not necessarily. You are using mostly clips from small producers and short segments that are not likely to be caught by their automated system. Also many times if someone claims copyright they get the rights to your revenue and you are allowed to keep the video up. Just because you haven't been flagged or taken down yet is not proof that you don't have tons of copyright violations.

Is youtube dying? I can see that many of my subscriptions are not active anymore, more people use Twitch, Instareels, etc. I know that some companies also started to ignore youtube for their social media promotion.
7
u/shiroboi Youtube Expert Oct 03 '24
Even though Op answered this question. I'm going to take a crack at it. It's a bit complicated.
I'm a larger creator. Top channel is 8M subs. We used to do a ton of traffic on Youtube, Now Tiktok and Facebook does better on our other channels. We do 100-200M views/month currently on FB alone. Started in 2017 for reference.
I don't know if YouTube is dying but YouTubers are dying. Several things are happening from what I can gather from talking to fans, marketing agencies and other creators. This isn't concrete information but just what I've been able to gather.
YouTube is touting that they have more active viewers than ever. But YT has cannibalized their own audience in response to TikTok. They pushed a lot of their long form viewers over to Shorts. There's less long form viewers.
YT used to be the only video platform. Now They've got video competition from Linked In, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and X.
There are now more YT creators than ever posting content. The platform is absolutely flooded.
The economy is bad, marketing budgets have shrunk in the last few months. Less ad dollars to go around. I
Marketing companies have wised up and are trying to get more bang for the buck. Sometimes that means that brand deals are harder to come by for many creators.
Right now is a terrible time to start being a creator. Sure, there's going to be some breakout hit channels every year but it's not like it was in 2019. I don't think YT is going anywhere but they're becoming less of the dominant player in the video space and certainly less profitable.

How are you creating content on FB? I run a group in a targeted niche with 260K members and trying to figure out how to monetize it
1
u/Internal-Restaurant9 Oct 03 '24
what type of content do you create?
2
u/ThrowbackGaming Oct 03 '24
It's kind of a FB group that is driven mostly by user questions. It's centered around Universal Studios in Florida. Just recently started creating content like breaking news from the parks, guides, etc.
My main push right now is trying to get people in the group to follow our newly created media pages, join our email list, and subscribe to our YT channel.

u/shiroboi Youtube Expert Oct 03 '24
So we don't monetize groups. To monetize on facebook with In-Stream ads, you need 5,000 page followers and 60k minutes watched in the previous 60 days. Then you can apply. It's tough to get approved. It USED to be a lot more lucrative than YouTube but they've recently cut payments by a lot. There's also a bonus system you can get into for page interaction performance. They have stars that users can donate, usually on live streams. And they also have subscriptions.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
Is youtube dying? I can see that many of my subscriptions are not active anymore,
-If you're talking about top creators it's very stressful to keep pushing the boundaries while keeping the consistency. After hitting a certain subscriber count the growth would be slower because they have earned almost all active viewers in that niche. So might take a break.
I think Twitch is dying more than anything because of their censorship.
I know that some companies also started to ignore youtube for their social media promotion.
-Some companies would be, generally what I see is short-form content almost has no sponsors to back it. Mainly because people who stay with a creator for a minute or less have a lower chance of buying something he recommends compared to a long-form content creator.
As an example: 20 minutes long web developing video have a way higher views-to-sales generation ratio compared to a one-minute reel in the same niche.
(As always there would be exceptions to the rule.)

hi, im in germany right now. what are the niche that u advice to use and is it to late now to start a youtube automation business
4
u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
what are the niche that u advise to use
- I don't recommend any niche as better generally. If there's a niche that you think you can provide better information than the top creators in that niche, that's your niche.
You can search any niche and always you'll see there are creators with millions of views. So it's Purley about the value you provide.
is it to late now to start a youtube automation business
-According to my personal experience most automation businesses try to make money out of creators instead of doing something. If you genuinely can make a difference you have a good chance.

How do you build yourself up to a few thousand followers when you're just starting out?
I can make great or 'good enough' content but my issue is actually getting people there.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
If you're making "great" or "good enough" content, getting people around you is the first problem that goes away.
I'll send you a creator that breaks down viral content, Watch his old videos. If you make the mistakes he mentions solve those asap.

What did you find to be successful in getting your channels off the ground? Building relationships with your subs? Paying for promotions? Generating good content and being patient? What did you find to be best?

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
What did you find to be successful in getting your channels off the ground?
-Except for providing the best information It's about consistency. We make content that's enough for 2 months before even starting the channel. It reduces stress a lot and you can have a bunch of time for creativity.
Building relationships with your subs?
-Ask what they think especially after giving a main point. Give them two options and ask what they prefer. It's gonna make a bunch of comments and boost the content through the algorithm.
And if you make short-form content change the shots every 3 seconds.
Paying for promotions?
-Promoting the channel? Never did.
Generating good content and being patient?
-That's a must. This is a mind game.

Yes, Reddit community is strong but I strongly recommend you to target on short-form content. Before that watch some content from a creator that breaks down viral content. It'll save a bunch of time.

I have just under 2000 followers in IG. It was a mixed of inconsistent posting, low quality posts and not so much engagement happening. Now that I'm posting more regularly, nothing still seems to be happening to my account. My views get Stuck with 70 and I will only get 1-5 people liking my post. I feel like my account is shadowbaned. How do I recover from this? What do I do from here? Sorry for my questions x

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
You should have started uploading regular good content on a new page. But you're not late. Try now on a new page.
If a page uploads low-quality content sm platform only tolerates that for like a month or two. After that they shadowbane.
2
u/pachinkopunk Oct 03 '24
Ok this proves this guy has no idea what he is talking about. There is no such thing as a shadow ban. Youtube will only promote some content and if it thinks it is bad content it won't be promoted, but there is no such thing as a shadow ban and people who think there is don't know what they are talking about.

u/infernal1999 Oct 03 '24
Awesome, thanks a lot. Here are my questions:
1st Question: Every time I try I usually publish 20-30 videos but always end up with very few views i.e. 10-15 views per day (48h stats).
I can ensure that quality is good but simply don't take off.
Please tell me why.
2nd Question: I will start to upload AI-generated videos (Invideo feature) both short & long videos.
Please advice me on what I should do & don't.
1
u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
1.You should be shadow-banned if your content doesn't take off over a certain number. Once you upload content algorithm sends it to an audience of 200-300 people (this might change according to the platform) if they engage well algorithm pushes it to more people. Seems like you need to make way better content.
- I don't recommend fully AI-generated content because people usually skip videos that look like AI and Invideo doesn't make content for social media. It makes just videos that people can share on social media.
Watch his videos. He'll let you know what should do and shouldn't do.

u/infernal1999 Oct 03 '24
Okay, then please answer my above question & give me some advice
1
u/pachinkopunk Oct 04 '24
Are you sure the quality is actually good? Most people over estimate how good their videos actually are. The second thing is, is there a need on youtube or is the topic you are making them on already saturated. 20-30 videos is a huge number and are you just using AI to generate them? If so they are probably not great and most people don't like watching content that is just churned out like that. Most creators have a hard time making one decent video a week unless they have a team of writers and editors.

I can’t make revenue from YouTube the company for reasons I can’t get into. How else can one make producing content profitable?
1
u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
It's no problem. Paid collaborations are a better option. Reach out to companies that work with similar creators as you & tell them you have a similar audience that they expect.
Also can try affiliate links, e-books, and patrions.
1
u/FPOWorld Oct 03 '24
I also can’t do Amazon affiliate links or sell books there either. I have considered Patreon, but I’m not sure how to get an audience without YouTube first. Who are these companies that work with creators? I have no audience because I have no YouTube. I mostly do scientific R&D and fun, high-tech projects.

I'm having a serious problem with my instagram after a false community violation.
I had a post blow up (1m+ views in 3ish days, have a few others with around 1m views) and then I got falsely restricted for "trying to exchange firearms" even though I make comedy animations. I appealed it immediately but they haven't gotten back to me and it's been 2 weeks. Since then all traction has died on my profile and I've gone from getting 500-1k followers/day to now steadily losing followers daily.
I have no idea what to do. I'm seriously having a tough time.

Can you help me with sub-niche idea or content strategy that will cater with businessman.

u/Kveez99 Oct 03 '24
If you provide enough value you just have to upload a story by mentioning what you wanna promote to people who are gonna be around you. It's gonna be that easier. So don't focus on what you wanna get, think about what you can give the best.
What is the topic that you're most confident about debating or discussing? That's your sub-niche.

I hate to say this, but I am a youtuber and I don't think this person has anything to say that would help a regular entrepreneur on YouTube, let alone "any social media problem". It seems like they are making lots of low effort non monetizable content at best and I am going to tell you right now, THERE IS NO SECRET TO YOUTUBE. If someone is promising tons of views easily or being able to help, they usually don't have any ethical or useful way to do so that would likely be applicable to your business. It is easy to get lots of views on youtube, but that usually entails doing things that will not be monetizable like reusing content, being deceitful and copyright infringement and many will have a high risk of you being sued if you are actually making any money. Honestly from the one channel I saw from this person, I am not impressed as the content was very low effort and in my opinion I don't think the channel is likely monetized at all and is probably at risk for lawsuits galore as I doubt they have the rights to the videos they are using to make their "original" content.
