    I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.

    Buying views outside RUclips, Google and face book, buying views is what is happening with all these “Invalid Views” epidemic on RUclips. The best way to grow is to let it happen naturally. Never ever pay for easy views. Invalid views will take years to work itself out of your analytics, I did it 3 years ago for a few months and only now an I ranking for my niches: gaming and movie reviews. Don’t be tempted, it took almost 2 years for it to run its course.

      2nd, you have to make more relevant videos. If nobody knows the game you're playing, they won't search for it and RUclips won't know who to suggest the video to.

    Should mention: "Subscribers and watch-time earned through a Promotion do not contribute towards RUclips Partner Program eligibility." AKA you can't just buy your way to RUclips's monetisation requirements with the YT Promotions or Google Ads.
    EDIT: I've done some testing on a brand new, unmonetised channel, and it seems like RUclips are lying. Despite their official disclaimer, right now [November, 2023] the subscribers you get through these methods DO count towards the YPP requirements. Do what you will with that information...

      Do a video on (Rpm). And what REAL channels make on REAL views here. I have under 30,000 subscribers. I do not inflate anything. My RPM average per month is always over $10.00. I see $15.00 RPM's on uploads on launch a few times a month.
      100,000 views for me is no less than $1000.00. And can be as much as $1,400.00.
      People who buy views make under $5.00 per 1000 views. And most likely $2 or $3.
      There is that big of a difference between a REAL channel.....and an inflated channel.

    13:44 I actually had a really strange experience with this a while back. Either youtube did something really strange or someone decided to view-bot my most popular video, and out of nowhere it got an extra one million views over the course of two days. However, the amount of subscribers gained and revenue didn't go up at all, and along with this the retention rate completely died. After about two days, the video had all of those views automatically removed and the retention rate went back to what it previously was, but the video took a pretty substantial hit in terms of viewership for a couple weeks afterwards before returning to what it was doing before and is now performing well for such an old video. If you know of any other creators this has happened to I would love to know about it

      There was a Spiffing Brit video on this, a competition can run ads on your behalf without your consent and target to the complete opposite of people you are trying to reach.
      This will mean your video does badly and their video is more likely to show up in organic searches, specifically if it’s a new game relaxes video or something, the competitor may have wanted top spot, so nuked everyone else videos.

YT says that I got 2,2k views and 244 subscribers through that promotion. But I actually gained a lot more subscribers and am now on 592 which means I actually gained around 470 subscribers in that 2 week period.

    If truly think about this, you’re really paying to get eyes on your channel. So, If you can get the cheapest cost per subscriber, then those people are more likely to be shown your video again in browse or suggested and gain organic views in the future. I feel like this is the most valuable ROI for ads if you aren’t actually selling anything.
    I vote the promotion method!
    Great video

    generally think that problem with people doing RUclips is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Post them consistently (and use a bit of Famester as well), don't post everything straight away. This also helps avoid burn out...

Kinda strange and I wonder how many people have this happen with their videos.

If I was a RUclipsr I think I would try to promote the channel as a whole instead of a certain video, if that video isn't something very unique and narrowly targeted, triggering more often subscriptions.

They can of course be indirectly useful, since videos from channels with more subscribers are seen as more worth watching.

    So if that is your target You probably "want" the bots, because these watch hours count.
    Also You need to do a video with social media promotion (FB/Instagram) with using a link to the youtube channel as a post. That COULD turn out to be pretty cheap.

I picked two videos that I liked to promote and give them a $300 budget over 2 weeks. My subscriber count is climbing by 10 subs a day which is far more than I ever got organically. Currently on my way to 1,000 subs. But wanted you to know that this really does work. I am paying more than you did per subscriber though - perhaps that’s the niche I am in.
