POLL! This side hustle can be VERY controversial and some people have said I should NOT show it. What do you think? Should I show controversial side hustles like this? Yay ✅ or Nay? ❎
show everything (within legal bounds) & let people decide.. you can't take responsibility for filtering information for each individual.. purely exhausting & impossible.. you always have disclaimers & that's ample.. take care :)
I used to be against reaction videos. But if there's an actual reaction to it, it does add value and I've found a ton of interesting channels through finding out about them via reaction videos as well as quite a few less well known musicians. If they just record themselves with no commentary on the original video it's just boring to watch and those channels don't do well, but seeing a reaction is fun although it is largely based on the way the commenter projects their personality over the original video as well as their unique perspective even if it's not very informative.
Yay. A little controversy doesn't scare everyone away 😉 and what works for one may not work the same for everyone. Post it all and let us choose. Also, THANK YOU for the time and the effort that you put into each video ❤
This is the tiktok version of a yt reaction videos... And reaction videos are big business... providing you show your personality... (I did one years ago in the weight loss industry... and I loved it...) Thanks for the reminder ;-)
seeing the thumbnail of your videos in my feed never fails to put a smile on my face & excitement in my heart!! you always put a lot of thought & research in your uploads which help a ton of people! always know you're appreciated, Sarah.. and for me, it's always, always happiness to see you ❤❤❤ take care :)

Don't let the negative nancies stop you: ruclips.net/video/kd7bS68o4gA/видео.html
Way to go! loved this even though im no teen. still appreciated it. Heaps of value in your video once again. Thank you for making a difference in the world🙏....and yeh nah mate to toothpaste on apple😁✌️
You're really something else Sarah, and I mean that in a good way. Thank you for throwing out all this interesting information, love seeing how you always have fun doing it as well. Take care, and don't ever stop what you're doing, it's most enjoyable watching your videos.
I have genuinely watched a RUclips video recently of someone react to another video where they reacted to another person who was reacting to another video. And it was actually a good video, LOL!
My son loves to watch a channel called 'godzilla reacts' on RUclips. One of the videos I saw was footage of someone playing a godzilla game. Another person had done a reaction video of it, and then the 'godzilla reacts' channel (which is basically someone who has a godzilla avatar instead of his real face' was reacting to the footage and the original reaction! Big business!
Good video, Sarah. I think reaction videos are fine if they add an entertaining aspect to it. For example, I’ve seen Italians react in a horrified way to so-called Italian food prep videos that have non-traditional Italian ingredients or prep techniques, so it’s funny and entertaining. It’s no different than a musical parody video. By the way, I’d totally listen to you do reaction videos because I love your New Zealand accent, and you have a fun personality. Maybe dog reaction videos. 🤷🏼♂️
Sarah just taught us a lucrative freelancing skill too in hindsight! How cool is that! 😀 And yes, reaction videos can be done ethically, by taking only small clips from here and there. And by promoting the original creator. Thanks girl, once again. ⚘️
It's an interesting one. I got into reaction videos mostly because of music. The Charismatic Voice, for example, is an opera singer that does long form reaction videos to music tracks she's never heard before and she's informative as well as being funny and super-enthusiastic. She'll break down what the artists are doing vocally to explain how they get certain sounds. So those reaction videos I get. Not so much the short form ones, unless it's the guy that tries 'hacks' he sees on tiktok because those are really funny. But he's adding to, rather than just reacting to, I guess. I think that's the difference for me - if I'm learning something or watching something be debunked, it's new content.
Haha there is a reason at 0:53 that I say it is so lazy that it is SO lazy, that it is controversial. Although there is a flip side & it's true - a lot of people enjoy watching a video "next" to someone & that is part of the value too. So that's the argument for it. But it is definitely controversial & there are arguments for both sides.
You could also make the argument that the video itself isn't adding any "value" to anything or anyone either, especially if it's just a random short that went viral. I do, however, think just watching it without speaking is controversial, but if you are actually reacting to it and speaking, I think that is fine.
Sera ! I haven't seen your videos for a while until I saw this notification, I commented before seeing the video but I just wanna say thank you, I have been watching your videos since 2017 and I wanna tell you that you are one of the few people who has inspired me❤
From another Sarah, thank you so much for this video, Sarah! I can't believe people monetize on this. I guess anything is possible with RUclips nowadays.
I guarantee if I'm making $200k/year at my "side hustle" it is no longer my side hustle. My 9 to 5 would have already transitioned to side hustle and out of my daily grind so I can do ANOTHER "side hustle."
Haha that makes the most sense & you'd think that everyone would do that, but I've posted on here about how when I was younger in my teens & early 20s, I did lots of things despite having a successful side hustle business: I went to university and I got day jobs, despite having a successful 6-figure side hustle, all because I was told by people around me that it would be "risky" to choose to scale it up instead of going to university and getting a job. I was so confused as to why everyone around me thought that - but I assumed they were right & I was wrong. Nope. It turns out they were wrong and yes, if you develop a successful side hustle, the smart idea is to scale it up!
@@Sams_I_Am More like the old ways are no longer as lucrative in the current economy. The average person (depending on state of residence and cost of living of course) must now have at least 2 jobs or more to be able to pay bills and rent and still have money for food JUST to be able to support themselves. If you don't have roommates to share the expenses it's a massive struggle
Hi Sarah, you just blew my mind. I´m so broke right now I can´t even afford food- no kidding. Maybe I should try it. I have an idea how to add value to it. Can you do this with youtube shorts instead of video from other plattforms, as well?
Another awesome video Sarah but because of the controversy involved it doesn't appeal to me. Thanks for another interesting and informative video. Love ❤ Sarah.
I'm still in kind of a shock seeing this video. That is nothing short of Crazy that this is a valid and legal possibility. And there will be no problems from the other content creators to basically take their videos and put them on RUclips? We live in a veeeery interesting world :)
There is a reason I said at 0:53 that it is so lazy it is controversial! Reaction videos are not something I am interested in, but they are indeed a monetizable piece of content on RUclips.
I know about this and no matter what people have to say, about this being legal or interesting, etc... I just don't want to be know for reacting/using people content to make money off them. In my book this is stealing content and even though sure, you may add value or have a cool reaction to video it still feels like you aren't doing much and yet stealing the traffic from original video creator. And this is absurd especially with people on TikTok that don't even react or that use random AI content on top of it to count like they added value or changed something in the video so it isn't straight away copy pasting. But, nah, this is such a scam 😭 can't believe that this is allowed and even monetized. 😢
These are reaction videos. Theyre not exclusive to teens either. I think they exist mostly because people enjoy the personality of the person doing the reactions.
Honestly, when it comes to YT Shorts Reactions, I don't think that the successful Reaction Channels rely as much on personality as long-form reactions. It instead really seems to come down mostly to clip selection. That's why I included 2:29 - it's subjective but I think this shows that viewers on YT Shorts don't require as unique of a commentary as they'd demand with say, a long-form video.
Wow, I had no idea these would be monetizable! So does that mean any faceless videos, shorts and long form, can't be monetized or just reaction videos like these can't be faceless? Interesting!
Wow awesome video thanks. What about reaction long videos of movie or tv series? How they do it without getting caught on copyright? Could you please make a video on that?
The video is nice and has some useful info, but you skipped too fast the upload part . A good description and TAGS selection is almost more important than the video itself
I would personally not do it for I would die of cringe! However, you made another nice tutorial Sarah, which can be useful in the future. I saved it for later ;)
Hi Ted. What if I'd like to do this, but being almost 60 and unattractive, I really don't want to show my face. Could I use AI to create a person that does the reacting? Thank you in advance.
Hi Sarah, this is all very interesting. I guess what I'm trying to get my head wrapped around is why would taking a video that already has a million hits on hit and adding my reaction as you show with the capcut program, and then uploading this into my channel with 0 subscribers all of the sudden "take off" and have anywhere close to a million hits? Are you saying this can be done from scratch with a "brand new" you tube channel?
Hey Sarah, I got a TikTok account today but it doesn't have the seach bar. I want to be able to look at the videos from the most popular and viral as you said. Could it be my smart phone isn't smart enough 😂 it's an Android and is about 3 years old
Hi, I have a question about making my shirts with Canva then selling them on websites like Printify or Shopify. How do I remove the background to make them in multiple different colors when I sell them Instead of making different background slides on Canva. I am happy I discovered your channel and I just want to know how to do it correctly to make sales like you do.
If it was straight-up illegal, then RUclips wouldn't monetize the videos! Your channel needs to pass a human verification check to get monetized. But fair Use is the grey area of copyright, haha, which is one of the reasons I call this a controversial side hustle 0:53
@@gtaitzI think the best way to characterize it, is that it "could" be illegal, depending upon how much of the video that is being reacted to, is being used, and if it is small clips that are interwoven with new, original voice-over reactions, and graphics or animation are being interwoven, and video clips from other channels are being presented also. I think if the ONLY video being reacted to is the one channel's video, and long clips are used, and not much reaction is going-on, then that is a big problem. But that;s why Sarah correctly suggested that it is a gray area of Copyright.
@@pat4005 Yeah if you don't credit the original source of the video it could definitely be illegal, that's why Sarah showed us how to put their social media handles on the video.
DID THE SAME, guess what? I got copyright claims for those viral videos and got demonitize saying um not adding a value and reused... not working. LOL!
Maybe take a look at these channels and see what they do differently - these channels haven't been demonetized, so you could compare and see if there is anything different you do 🙏 the most common thing I see people do that gets copyright claims is music/sound which is why I muted the clip and removed its sound & replaced it with my own Ai enhanced audio 🔈
@@WholesaleTedHi Sarah, if you mute the music, does that also delete the speaking part of their video? Or can they be separated, with only music being deleted? If deletion also removes voice, I’d say it would be important to choose videos that don’t have background music. Tks.
@@bernardpeel7133if you were making a video with reaction commentary, I think picking a video that can be fully muted so that your voice doesn't have to fight with it would probably make the most sense
I have a question! Once you upload the reaction video to YT, how do you get people to see it?? If it's gone viral on Tiktok, will it go viral again on RUclips? Or will nobody see it because they don't know it's there? Also, if the Tiktok creator is credited, wouldn't the YT viewers just go to their original video to watch it properly?
So, there is a feature built into RUclips Shorts (and TikTok) that I like to call "Test Impressions." The algorithm tries to analyze & guess who might want to watch your video, then it will place your video in front of a small audience, even if you're a new RUclipsr, to "test" your video. If it does well, it'll expand the audience, and then keep expanding it if it keeps doing better & better. Overtime, as RUclips gathers more data on your channel, it'll get better & better at guessing the right audience, so the more you do this, the easier it gets in-time. But this "test impression" feature is what allows Shorts (and TikTok) to constantly find fresh, new channels to go viral. And they have to do this, because as I explained in this video (note, this video was released before RUclips switched from the creator fund to ads, now RUclips runs ads instead, and so earnings are now uncapped unlike when this video was released) they have to give all videos, including new videos, an opportunity to go viral because they are literally desperate for content: ruclips.net/video/069EaiaNenw/видео.htmlsi=5O1QRKxWamyrbjL0&t=442
@@WholesaleTed I love your videos and this one is great! Question: For tiktok money you have to make sure your reaction video is at least 1 minute long?
Who cares if it's controversial if it makes you plenty of money. It actually helps the person who made the real video. And I reckon you could make plenty of money by watching viral ads, and having an affiliate link to the product. Would that be legal, do you think?
I'm too lazy to even record myself. Can you make a video showing how to create a realistic human AI avatar that reacts to watching videos so all we have to do is push record and then upload it to RUclips?
Honestly, I don't know if YT monetizes reactions with Ai avatars & kind of like the voiceless reactions, even if they do monetize Ai reactions... I don't know if they'll keep doing it in the future 6:57 I think that given historically YT has monetized on-camera reactions that if one wants to do a reaction channel, that sticking to on-camera reactions is really the way to go. Otherwise, there are lots of other faceless channel ideas out there you can try instead!
I mean, I just eyeball it really. I picked the frame it looked like I started talking, cut the rest off, then shaved off the end, and watched it back to see if it looked right and it did. Don't over think it!
Ok so....Reaction content. Basically we would be getting paid to do what Asmongold/Zackrawrr does loads of videos on already. I'd say approximately 1/3 or more of his total income from YT is from reaction vids 😂 Don't get me wrong I have no qualms about doing it. I just didn't think that as a random internet pleb that I could get away with doing the same thing and be successful at it without a solid follower/viewer base 🤔 Edit: Yeah they can retroactively de-monitize your videos in the future at any time if they later decide that silent or no commentary reaction videos are no longer eligible to be submitted as content worthy of compensation for, thus I agree it's better to at least verbally narrate or otherwise comment on what is happening and give props and/or a thumbs up and a nod to the OP and/or watermark their userID at the end of the video as a way of giving them credit without being perceived as a plagiarist.
In my humble opinion, creating a reaction video on RUclips that features a viral TikTok video should and can involve several legal considerations, primarily related to copyright and fair use. This process may not be straightforward, and in some cases, consulting a lawyer could be necessary. Just as using copyrighted music without permission can lead to copyright infringement, so can using the video itself. Finally, it may not be as easy as it seems at first sight.
The amount of content on the internet is so huge, that one person might never be able to reach the original video, so even if people just reposted the same one and had luck with the algorithm they could get traffic this way. Which is an immoral way to earn (Unless they pay some comission to the original video creator, which typically they don't) considering how much value is just copy-pasted from others.
Every time I go to work I put the tv on the Cat Channel on RUclips... All it is Animals eating fruit and nuts. My cat loves it and it takes is set up a camera and feed the animals
RUclips's copyright policy seems to outlaw this type of thing, "Creators should only upload videos that they have made or that they're authorised to use, not upload videos that they didn't make, or use content in their videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as snippets of copyrighted programmes or videos made by other users, without necessary authorisations." To do the above and expect to receive money seems a bit of a stretch - unless I'm missing something here?
Reaction content creators monetize their videos by using the Fair Use clause in copyright law. Not everyone agrees with that ethically, but it is why they are successfully monetizing reaction videos. To be able to show their reaction, they also have to show the video.
I have an entire section dedicated to this at 4:14 - I answer a lot of questions in this video so I highly recommend watching it fully through! I was surprised, back when Shorts first launched, the CPM was much lower, but YT have been pushing it with advertisers.
I wonder though...is the originator ok with this? It seems this is the type of video that get copywrite strikes or you get contacted to take the video down. Is that just part of the risk of doing this type of video? Just curious.
Not everyone will agree with this side hustle I am sure. These channels have been monetizable for years. But that doesn't change the fact that, as I say at 0:53 this is so lazy that it is controversial! 💀
Hi Sarah love your work as always👍. if you don't feel comfortable showing your face do you think a gimmick would work like wearing a mask like a bigfoot mask or animal mask or some type of mask to cover your face??
If one had to do reaction videos about "spiritual" content and offer opinions that might question or debunk the original video, yet offer a kind of "regulation" on some of the fairly nonsense new age spiritual stuff going viral, would the owners of the original content likely want your content taken down and have the power to make that happen? Or is it all in the hands of youtube in terms of the value offered? .. and how exactly does this help actually drive traffic to your videos? "Piggybacking".. including the original channels handle? Is the algorithm supposed to actually know what viral video you used and promote yours accordingly? I don't quite see how the "piggybacking" is doing anything more than making any other kind of video. This didn't seem specified, sorry to ask. I did watch and listen to every word and hopefully didn't misunderstand/miss this concept, but I tried hard to make sense of why this helps in the first place :D
Can't help but wonder why you have your phone facing backwards. Why are't you using your front camera? How do you know if you are seeing yourself properly? Odd.
My front camera is lower quality than my rear camera. It took about 3 tries but after 3 tries I got the placement right - it honestly took like 3 minutes, I think it is definitely worth it for a higher quality visual image!

From Christchurch New Zealand ❤
Good morning as well from the frosty Christchurch 🥶
Hi Ted. What if I'd like to do this, but being almost 60 and unattractive, I really don't want to show my face. Could I use AI to create a person that does the reacting? Thank you in advance.
Yt and TikTok have monitization policies that doesn't favor lazy content. They get a lot of views but doesn't get paid as much as the original video
Imwill earn my playbutton with honor and not commenting on other peoples work
Hi Sarah, this is all very interesting. I guess what I'm trying to get my head wrapped around is why would taking a video that already has a million hits on hit and adding my reaction as you show with the capcut program, and then uploading this into my channel with 0 subscribers all of the sudden "take off" and have anywhere close to a million hits? Are you saying this can be done from scratch with a "brand new" you tube channel?
This is very useful ❤
Yay! Ticket to ride is one of my favs! lol
Hey Sarah, I got a TikTok account today but it doesn't have the seach bar. I want to be able to look at the videos from the most popular and viral as you said. Could it be my smart phone isn't smart enough 😂 it's an Android and is about 3 years old
How do you re-purpose another persons video without violating copyright or RUclips policies on taking another persons video?
Hi, I have a question about making my shirts with Canva then selling them on websites like Printify or Shopify. How do I remove the background to make them in multiple different colors when I sell them Instead of making different background slides on Canva.
I am happy I discovered your channel and I just want to know how to do it correctly to make sales like you do.
Newbie question: How do I record myself watching the video I am reacting to?
Wow ... Thanks for this video
Do you store your videos on Capcut or your mobile? I ask because I haven't got much space on my mobile.
I'm giving this a shot. Wish me success.
Don't do it. You honestly think anything on earth with such a low barrier to entry makes 200k a year?
@@christophergritton4222 And stealing other's videos btw...
Thank you for your informative videos. Please keep up the good work. What about copyright infringement if I take someone's videos?
Illegal, but TikTok and YT dont care at all
If it was straight-up illegal, then RUclips wouldn't monetize the videos! Your channel needs to pass a human verification check to get monetized. But fair Use is the grey area of copyright, haha, which is one of the reasons I call this a controversial side hustle 0:53
I'm confused how is it illegal? As long as you credit the original video and silence copyrighted music you should be fine.
@@gtaitzI think the best way to characterize it, is that it "could" be illegal, depending upon how much of the video that is being reacted to, is being used, and if it is small clips that are interwoven with new, original voice-over reactions, and graphics or animation are being interwoven, and video clips from other channels are being presented also.
I think if the ONLY video being reacted to is the one channel's video, and long clips are used, and not much reaction is going-on, then that is a big problem.
But that;s why Sarah correctly suggested that it is a gray area of Copyright.
@@pat4005 Yeah if you don't credit the original source of the video it could definitely be illegal, that's why Sarah showed us how to put their social media handles on the video.
@@WholesaleTed they want eye balls to watch those videos that's all.
from start to finish how long would you say it takes to make a reaction video?
I see alot of videos that commentary i just couldn't figure out how to do that split screen 🎉
DID THE SAME, guess what? I got copyright claims for those viral videos and got demonitize saying um not adding a value and reused... not working. LOL!
Maybe take a look at these channels and see what they do differently - these channels haven't been demonetized, so you could compare and see if there is anything different you do 🙏 the most common thing I see people do that gets copyright claims is music/sound which is why I muted the clip and removed its sound & replaced it with my own Ai enhanced audio 🔈
@@WholesaleTedHi Sarah, if you mute the music, does that also delete the speaking part of their video? Or can they be separated, with only music being deleted?
If deletion also removes voice, I’d say it would be important to choose videos that don’t have background music.
Tks.
@@bernardpeel7133if you were making a video with reaction commentary, I think picking a video that can be fully muted so that your voice doesn't have to fight with it would probably make the most sense
@@WholesaleTed ah yeah, of course; hadn’t thought of that 🤪. Tks Sarah.
Is this legal? because you using other video. or is it save because you give a reaction and by that is it new created contend?
You said 9:16, well, 16:9 is horizontal, isn't that what you meant?
I have a question! Once you upload the reaction video to YT, how do you get people to see it?? If it's gone viral on Tiktok, will it go viral again on RUclips? Or will nobody see it because they don't know it's there?
Also, if the Tiktok creator is credited, wouldn't the YT viewers just go to their original video to watch it properly?
So, there is a feature built into RUclips Shorts (and TikTok) that I like to call "Test Impressions." The algorithm tries to analyze & guess who might want to watch your video, then it will place your video in front of a small audience, even if you're a new RUclipsr, to "test" your video. If it does well, it'll expand the audience, and then keep expanding it if it keeps doing better & better. Overtime, as RUclips gathers more data on your channel, it'll get better & better at guessing the right audience, so the more you do this, the easier it gets in-time. But this "test impression" feature is what allows Shorts (and TikTok) to constantly find fresh, new channels to go viral.
And they have to do this, because as I explained in this video (note, this video was released before RUclips switched from the creator fund to ads, now RUclips runs ads instead, and so earnings are now uncapped unlike when this video was released) they have to give all videos, including new videos, an opportunity to go viral because they are literally desperate for content: ruclips.net/video/069EaiaNenw/видео.htmlsi=5O1QRKxWamyrbjL0&t=442
@@WholesaleTed Thank you SO much for this!!!! 🙏🌷🙏
@@WholesaleTed I love your videos and this one is great! Question: For tiktok money you have to make sure your reaction video is at least 1 minute long?
That appears to be a violation of copyright laws. The "fair use" doctrine does not apply when people are trying to make money off other people's work.
I would just upload it because we can see how viral it would go? Very interesting thank you!
Is canva and capcut the same program? that interface looks exactly the same
So, is using other people's videos okay? I thought that was not allowed?
Who cares if it's controversial if it makes you plenty of money. It actually helps the person who made the real video. And I reckon you could make plenty of money by watching viral ads, and having an affiliate link to the product. Would that be legal, do you think?
What about copyright infringements?
Do you talk about digital products?? Planners, journals.. digital printing art etc
Isn’t the whole point of the internet being that so many people can change the reality but not in reality another realm.
Love your videos Wholesale- this thing still work? It sounds so time consuming and cost effective!
Thank you!
I'm too lazy to even record myself. Can you make a video showing how to create a realistic human AI avatar that reacts to watching videos so all we have to do is push record and then upload it to RUclips?
Honestly, I don't know if YT monetizes reactions with Ai avatars & kind of like the voiceless reactions, even if they do monetize Ai reactions... I don't know if they'll keep doing it in the future 6:57 I think that given historically YT has monetized on-camera reactions that if one wants to do a reaction channel, that sticking to on-camera reactions is really the way to go. Otherwise, there are lots of other faceless channel ideas out there you can try instead!
Is it ez enough to get the voice to match to the video? When u download the voice it separate s from the reg video
I mean, I just eyeball it really. I picked the frame it looked like I started talking, cut the rest off, then shaved off the end, and watched it back to see if it looked right and it did. Don't over think it!
@@WholesaleTed thanks im gonna give it a shot
Ok so....Reaction content. Basically we would be getting paid to do what Asmongold/Zackrawrr does loads of videos on already. I'd say approximately 1/3 or more of his total income from YT is from reaction vids 😂
Don't get me wrong I have no qualms about doing it. I just didn't think that as a random internet pleb that I could get away with doing the same thing and be successful at it without a solid follower/viewer base 🤔
Edit: Yeah they can retroactively de-monitize your videos in the future at any time if they later decide that silent or no commentary reaction videos are no longer eligible to be submitted as content worthy of compensation for, thus I agree it's better to at least verbally narrate or otherwise comment on what is happening and give props and/or a thumbs up and a nod to the OP and/or watermark their userID at the end of the video as a way of giving them credit without being perceived as a plagiarist.
how to know if the video i am reacting to has a copyright music?
In my humble opinion, creating a reaction video on RUclips that features a viral TikTok video should and can involve several legal considerations, primarily related to copyright and fair use. This process may not be straightforward, and in some cases, consulting a lawyer could be necessary. Just as using copyrighted music without permission can lead to copyright infringement, so can using the video itself. Finally, it may not be as easy as it seems at first sight.
The amount of content on the internet is so huge, that one person might never be able to reach the original video, so even if people just reposted the same one and had luck with the algorithm they could get traffic this way. Which is an immoral way to earn (Unless they pay some comission to the original video creator, which typically they don't) considering how much value is just copy-pasted from others.
Every time I go to work I put the tv on the Cat Channel on RUclips... All it is Animals eating fruit and nuts. My cat loves it and it takes is set up a camera and feed the animals
Hello Sara❤ Nice ti see you again darling ❤
But what software do we use other than tiktok (if necessary).
The video contains a step-by-step tutorial. You can watch the video & literally copy what I do to make videos like this
how do you download the viral video though?
RUclips's copyright policy seems to outlaw this type of thing, "Creators should only upload videos that they have made or that they're authorised to use, not upload videos that they didn't make, or use content in their videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as snippets of copyrighted programmes or videos made by other users, without necessary authorisations."
To do the above and expect to receive money seems a bit of a stretch - unless I'm missing something here?
Reaction content creators monetize their videos by using the Fair Use clause in copyright law. Not everyone agrees with that ethically, but it is why they are successfully monetizing reaction videos. To be able to show their reaction, they also have to show the video.
What is the average CPM for short videos, because I heard that it is almost non-existent?
I have an entire section dedicated to this at 4:14 - I answer a lot of questions in this video so I highly recommend watching it fully through! I was surprised, back when Shorts first launched, the CPM was much lower, but YT have been pushing it with advertisers.
I typically see RPMs around 12 cents these days.
🇺🇸🥰 will this work on other platforms.
For sure, please review and show controversial videos like this. We are adults and can make our own moral judgements.
I wonder though...is the originator ok with this? It seems this is the type of video that get copywrite strikes or you get contacted to take the video down. Is that just part of the risk of doing this type of video? Just curious.
Not everyone will agree with this side hustle I am sure. These channels have been monetizable for years. But that doesn't change the fact that, as I say at 0:53 this is so lazy that it is controversial! 💀
Hi Sarah love your work as always👍. if you don't feel comfortable showing your face do you think a gimmick would work like wearing a mask like a bigfoot mask or animal mask or some type of mask to cover your face??
Possibly, especially if the reactions played into whatever was being worn
how to download tiktok and youtube shorts video to react to? id like to try make these videos to get out of my comfort zone. please help.
hi !!!! Ted .....am a Nigerian leaving in Nigeria ...... which of this side hustle works and get paid in Nigeria ?
Thank you so much. This is fun to watch
If one had to do reaction videos about "spiritual" content and offer opinions that might question or debunk the original video, yet offer a kind of "regulation" on some of the fairly nonsense new age spiritual stuff going viral, would the owners of the original content likely want your content taken down and have the power to make that happen? Or is it all in the hands of youtube in terms of the value offered? .. and how exactly does this help actually drive traffic to your videos? "Piggybacking".. including the original channels handle? Is the algorithm supposed to actually know what viral video you used and promote yours accordingly? I don't quite see how the "piggybacking" is doing anything more than making any other kind of video. This didn't seem specified, sorry to ask. I did watch and listen to every word and hopefully didn't misunderstand/miss this concept, but I tried hard to make sense of why this helps in the first place :D
Can't help but wonder why you have your phone facing backwards. Why are't you using your front camera? How do you know if you are seeing yourself properly? Odd.
My front camera is lower quality than my rear camera. It took about 3 tries but after 3 tries I got the placement right - it honestly took like 3 minutes, I think it is definitely worth it for a higher quality visual image!
Good teacher
