I followed the advice of one of these RUclips Gurus on making a relaxation channel. Did all that work only to be knocked back by RUclips for monetisation due to lack of originality. So, I scraped those videos, took 100% original video myself and images, put them together with the music and sounds, and a month later, bang, monetised. The lesson? To get monetised for a channel like that, use 100% original images and videos.
What is the name of your RUclips channel
Where did you get the sound
@@Sunny-jc9hh Zengage Motivational and Guided Meditation
@@zengagemotivational would you like to show me what websites can i visit for this meditation music?
@@rickytv7877 just type in “buy meditation music for commercial use” and a whole list of sites will come up. The best ones to use are the ones you pay for as they are generally not over used like the free ones usually are. For guided meditation, you can easily find many of them by searching Google
but again, be prepared to pay something for them. Or, buy some guided meditation scripts and record your own with some background music. However, be prepared to do the work as this genre on RUclips is not an easy one. I hope this helps you Ricky to get started.
I like that you said the truth. I listened to RUclips gurus and created a channel based on this niche but I hardly got views. I kept on researching to find out what I was doing wrong till I stumbled on your channel. I am glad to know the problem is that the niche is saturated and its just not as easy to make money as does promoting faceless RUclips channels told us it was.
Just started my channel, still learning too...thanks for sharing this information!
Dang, thank you! Appreciate you saving me the leg work i can't believe those stats over 30 days that's absolutely ludicrous!!! Great work bro!
No problem!

As a fellow RUclipsr myself your editing is spot on! Only missing a green screen and a cool background!
Thanks William!
Your honesty got you a new sub and I’m binging your videos now. Just goes to show, if you’re in for the right reasons, the rest will follow. 😊
Thanks so much!
@@VEEDCREATORS Deserved ✅
Thanks, I subscribed and liked and now commenting as due respect
Thank you for this video. I believed it would be just that easy. However, I was toying with the relaxing sound idea or another one and I believe I will go to the more fun option for me.
I feel like your thumbnails could’ve been stronger, like the fonts and the pictures used, could’ve been more appealing or more accurately representing the sounds. The titles were pretty good but also could’ve been modified to be slightly stronger for example using key words like stress and peace, letting the thumbnails also reflect that.
This was a really good insightful video ! Those watch hours are actually very good🙌🏾🎶
Like you said yourself, #RUclips is a long term project. Keep grinding 💪 💯
For sure!
Ohhhh my god I’m so happy to find your video 😊thanks
bitter- but- true event here, thanks to slap us with reality, dude !! keep up, we love your education videos !
I absolutely appreciate your analysis of the meditation music videos.
It is not easy to make money through meditation channels. The only thing that intrigues is the financial performance of some channels that are showing one still picture for 10 Hrs and probably the same music over and over again.
I think it's not about the music. It is all about how to do business. So much for the time being. Will follow this video.
LOL I am so making a video about this!! And of course I'll give you credit for your experiment here. Amazing.
aaabsolutely underestimated channel!!! I wish u 1mio+ subs!!! u deserve it! thx for ur channel!
Oh wow this made my cry within 5 seconds. I miss you Michael, will forever promise to spread your message. HEAL THE WORLD 🌎 😭❤️
A honest review. Appreciate it 👍
Good advice thank you! I clicked on some of those videos you made I think you can exponentially increase your viewer and subscriber number if the calming images change frequently rather than being completely static and uninteresting to be honest. Personally I like putting relaxing music in the background but with changing images so that whenever I look, there's something interesting/beautiful to look at while listening
I totally agree with you on that
Thanks for the true story behind this " rich easy idea" 💡
Im gonna suscribe just cause you are honest and you deserve it. 🎉
love this video im rewatching it over and over
This is so true. Ich have a channel with relaxing videos. It makes so much fun. I appreciate your advise and will change a few things.
these vids keep gettin better and better ur so underrated
Thanks so much!
appreciate the effort and exposition!
I’m just starting out, but I create my own sounds. And I’ve started to use a paid AI art subscription to create original thumbnails. As I focus on sleep music and sounds, I have most of my videos fade to black. I think Using as much original sounds and images is the key to standing out from the crowd.
I record all my own music using Logic Pro , so I will not get flagged for reused content. I just think that most of the free content available today has been so recycled that it’s just not worth trying to use it. You could maybe try and pay a music producer on fivver to create something for you, and try and create your own imagery, if you don’t have the skills to produce your own.
I enjoyed this, finely someone real and not just fake waiting for click bait. I'm gonna be subriber number 7 for the music channel just because you're actually hilarious and show real content
I liked the way of your talking and your honesty! Thank you so much and you've just got a new subscriber!
I can understand the desire to earn a living from RUclips content. What I think some people don't realize is that if you are just a video machine, you don't always establish a personal connection with your audience.
I personally feel that's very important. I have a genuine desire to help people. I also help myself with the content I create. I get in that realm when I create the video and I can listen to it when I need that particular type of content.
Establishing genuine trust with your followers is at the top of my list.
If my channel never becomes eligible for monetization that's ok as long as RUclips continues to permit me to use their platform to reach out and help people ,I will continue to do so.
I just won't quit my day job😊
This is amazing!! Someone showed us the reality without hiding anything. Thanks to you brother.
I saw your replies in earlier comments regarding original content (audio/video both) upload.
Did you figure it out whether it will work or not?
As i am composer i am very keen to learn that.
Thanks again in advance if you chose to reply to this!
I read a comment here that RUclips does NOT monetise mediation type channels since 2019. I can tell you from experience, that is NOT the case. My meditation/relaxation channel was monetised in early 2022. If you write your own music, maybe even shoot your own video, you should have no problems in getting monetised. But obviously, its up to the gods at RUclips ultimately.
@@zengagemotivational Exactly! That is why I am now a specialized Nature videographer that provides Original & exclusive sounds and videos to RUclips creators in the niche of meditation / relaxation. I have been doing it for 1 year and I am so happy to help people monetize their channels by choosing original content. Contact me if you need original footage!
Hey thanks love this video!
I have a doubt. If I do the lofi versions of songs, is it considered original and cannot be monetizable?
Thank you quite informative 👍
Thanks for the info ❤
Well done, thank you for the heads up. I have subscibed your channel too.
What happened to my relaxing sounds channel SIX MONTHS later? 🎥ruclips.net/video/SWQtE0ebfgY/видео.html
PS. try VEED to create your own meditation videos 👉 veed.video/468d7Ef
some girl started youtube in 2023 and already beat you in subs which is so surprising
@@NotAubreyRobloxx lol. I have a fairly good idea why that would be 🙂
you definitely got my subscribe!
Hey thanks for this. Very realistic
@zengagemotivational Thanks for all the valuable information you have shared, I have 2 questions that maybe you have already tested yourself, will it be ok to use for a channel solely sounds coming from the RUclips audio library for the meditation channel as an example fire sound available? And 2 will RUclips allow you to monetize your channel like this?
Of course this will be together with some original midjourney background and some animation on top to complete the video. Thanks
😅😂🤣 Bro!! this video is hilarious, keep it up Sir
Glad you enjoyed!
This was so funny 😂. I saw these gurus almost telling people to copy, but I didn’t want to make a negative comment because allot people were buying in to it.
Thanks for the heads up
You're welcome!
Hello!
I just watched the video and i really appreciate you honesty and the way you present the video
I have this channel that was previously a gaming channel but duo to university and other work i don’t find time for it,do you think turning this channel to a mediation video channel would be a good idea? i have 40K subs in this channel and this year i have 2000 hours of watching to this year so what do you think?
Thank you for your amazing content
Thanks for saving our time ❤
Good lord. My brother really wanted to try this, but some comments from the comments section from the videos of those "gurus" you mentioned were all like, "Nope. It's actually NOT that simple". *siiiiiiiigh*😞 I figured. I'll still work with some vids to see, but thank you so much for clearing some info up for me😅
Glad to help! Unfortunately, many creators make these videos about "easy money making channels" based on other videos on the same topic - they don't actually try it themselves
@@VEEDCREATORS Thanks for the quick reply!
Question: let's say, hypothetically, I create an "Ambient Video" with my own OG photo & audio, and I reach the quoted number of subs & hours litened to to
"make it rain"
🌧
🤑
Would RUclips count that as content acceptable for monetization???
Thanks! Sorry for the bother😅
@@galacticarchangel No bother at all! It's a hard question to answer, because I don't know how RUclips sees it - but to me, it seems more likely that this would get you monetised because it's fully original content
@@VEEDCREATORS Thank for the honest answer! I guess I'll see how it goes, then🤔😊
@@galacticarchangel Good luck!
interesting! finally someone who tell us the truth ;)
Glad you liked it!
very useful. thank you
I've been publishing videogame/anime/TV series/movies relaxing videos for almost two years, completely aware that this type of content creation cannot be monetized. It's a pity but I quite enjoy making them, and I pour a lot of hours and passion into making them. My only aim for possible income is my donation link. I've not received a single penny so far, but perhaps in the future when my channel has grown large enough. Thanks for the video.
did you add ad-sense to your meditation videos ? thanks for the video its really good and truth comes from it.. and if you do not make money in 2 years from now we know the truth its all about sending you to the course at the end. Hype is Everywhere now everyone's posting hype to get you to click on there links to make them referrals however your RUclips channel will be on top even more now talking about money methods..
Simple truth is, if it isn't original then it wont do too well, and if it's from stock photos or videos and the audio isn;t original, then it most likely wont be monetized either. channels that do the best with this usually have their own content.
Truth
thanks a lot for the video
If it takes 160 uploads on average, why did you stop after only 30?
i think this was about testing the promise of a shortcut
Very informative video, thank you.
I'm wondering, how do some channels get monetized if RUclips doesn't play ads in their videos ?
(ads get in the way of the relaxing experience)
What do YOU think is the best way to 'make it rain' on RUclips? 💰
i dont know
Yes. I recently got interested in affiliate marketing and ran across this scheme, which is making the rounds in the money making niche. I was thinking "bulls....". They just saw a channel had a lot of views and said you can automatically have the same success just doing the same thing.
Anytime anyone says this type of thing you're too late... Take that to the bank.
It seems like the best way to make money is to just come up with a bunch of fake schemes and then sell someone a course, which upsells them a more expensive course.
Gave you a sub for being honest. Don't lose that
@@NicholasLaDieu Thanks!
I subscribed and supported you.
Stephen Merchant… you remind me of him in the best possible ways!! A compliment 😊
hey can you make a video how you make ur videos ! keep it up the good work bro :)
If you look at some of the older threads where people questioned why their meditation/relaxation videos got taken down, you will see that Google said it was reused content, repetitive, looping videos and they used to monetize those, but have stopped, because like you said they are over the top with that many of the same thing. Plus if you look, you will see that none of them have ads, but what they do on some is have an affiliate links of sorts to Spotify or their website where I am assuming the music is from. I wouldn't waste my time with this. Also Social Blade is just showing an estimate of what a channel could potential earn, not what it does. So, rather misleading.
Hey veed.. please give me a advise.. after watching my videos. Should i continue or not ? 😮
Thank you for the truth 🙏🏾
Very nice video
I'm subscriber #14!
Wooo thanks!
Can someone help me with this question please? I'm working on a second channel where I specifically make music on my own and would like to have it where the screen fades to black in like 10 seconds and then have it run for 10 hours. Since I'm making the music on my own by playing on my keyboard and recording it into audacity and editing it together putting it to a specific Hertz or whatever, do you think I will get monetized? I understand lack of originality visually, but that's only because I don't want light emitting from people's phones, laptops, etc so that they can fall asleep. RUclips's response might be that if people are falling asleep, why should there be ads on a video that people aren't going to be awake to see, and my response to that would be well don't put ads in between the videos, put it at the start of the video and then the person could skip the ad and fall asleep to the music, or if people don't click the ad, then don't charge the advertiser unless an ad is clicked. But I'm pretty sure with my creative music skills, I can get to a thousand subscribers and 4,000 hours worth of watch time eventually, and would like to make money off of it, but if all else fails, I still really do care about helping people fall asleep, which is a big goal for me, and I would like to put a smile on one person's face if I can, and that would mean I won, but it would also be nice to get paid for that hard work so if I don't get monetized, I could still technically put a GoFundMe page or something in the description and say hey, would you mind funding my hard work? Because my main goal is to get rich so I can then help homeless people and sick people etc, and I would like to make passive income doing the things I love like music and acting etc but currently have my main channel and also trying to make the second channel as well as working for cryptocurrencies doing marketing like CDS, which I invested a lot of money into because I have a lot of faith into it and believe that that will be my main source of being rich. But other passive income like the second RUclips channel would be nice, but I feel like I'm putting so much work into making these tracks, I would feel really bummed if they don't monetize me even though I made the music myself, cuz then for that matter I would just film myself playing the background tracks, and then instead of black screen it would be me playing it for 10 hours straight by looping myself or whatever and then it would be completely original right in terms of both audio and visuals and there you go, but I'll have to figure that out when I get there as I would like to have at least 50 tracks or 50 videos before I even create the channel. Thank you everyone and I love you all and good luck with your channel and I hope you all get amazing success, let's help rebuild this world together
youtube is looking at the videodiscription and if there only a bunch of keywords they don´t push the content.... it seems that suggestions are more important... and finaly.... the succsesfull chanels have always something special and unique in their sounds.... its mostly not a simple copy from a free library. i´m curious how your chanel will perform in the long term
That is potentially true, although a lot of big youtubers still use non sensical keyword sentences in their descriptions. You are correct though, recommended videos are very important - but you sometimes need keywords to get in there
how did you upload 10 hour videos?
Did it take all day to upload?
Can you help me please?
Hey if i add outro to the video and add commentary of my own like giving tips to relax and stuff like that throughout the video will i be monetized ?
You probably have a better chance, but I can say for sure as I'm not RUclips :)
This is awesome!! Can’t wait to watch your other vids. You totally confirmed my skepticism of all the “$1000 a day” RUclipsr claims out there. One question though, how did you post 10 hour videos without being verified at that time and not having 100K subs? I thought startups are limited to 15min uploads until they reach 100K subs? 🤷🏻♂️ thanks!
I don't know if there's a limit before the 10 hour mark, but I recently started a channel with 1 hour long videos, and I had no problems uploading them.
OMG.. your video is so true. I have a relaxing music channel and compose my own music.. getting subscribers is not easy at all. After two years, I only got 282 subscribers. I don’t know if I will ever get to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours. I agree with you.. it’s almost impossible to monetize with relaxing music. Thanks for putting together the video .. I appreciate it.
Thanks so much for the comment Akim! Sorry to hear it's been such a struggle for you...
What's your channel? I would sub. I want to avoid making the same mistakes if possible. I don't really care about the money but considering I've gotten hundreds of thousands of views on other types of vids I've made and not as much on these.. just want to see what others have done.
@@PositiveVibesVids do you want to buy my channel, I want to sell
@@Ruhichan625 if it were good perhaps. I have multiple channels most of them have a million + views.
It's odd though looking at your channel it had 1.5k subs which is pretty good yet only 4 videos with basically no views - am I looking at the right channel?
@@PositiveVibesVids that's the reason why I am selling this channel, i randomly uploaded 1 Shorts video of k pop artists and that video wet viral 209k views, i didn't thought that but the problem is now I am uploading videos and have almost no views, i thought I can make this channel successful by giving it good niche. But the result is in front of you, i am totally confused 😕.
Great video
That's exactly what happened to my Relaxation Channel. A lot of time money and I hit all qualifications and got denied. Total bummer 😔
Was everything original or copyright free?
thank you! just start a meditation channel. wish me luck! :)
Good luck!
Awesome vid. I'm gonna make a video just like this... I am 1 month in.. I've done quadruple better than your channel over that time yet that's not saying much and also my lady is my number one fan. And I'm a big fan of myself too lol .. I actually enjoy making these types of videos and am not doing it for the money.
It kills me to see some of my other vids in the hundreds of thousands of views of me skateboarding yet not even a fraction on starting this out.
Yet I've learned so much more from RUclips than I ever did from my skate videos because I mean I literally don't even remember the password for my old account. I did try a few tech videos out but did not find them to be enjoyable. I like actual music more than white noise and such though I am trying out everything.
I want to see your channel but I don't see anything did you delete it?
Thanks for the comment and congrats on your channel. You can see how well my channel is doing by watching this updated video: ruclips.net/video/SWQtE0ebfgY/видео.html
I created my No Copyright channel, I just love the design I do for it lol
That's great!
Great video,,thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Well I am doing the same experiment and seem to be doing very well, I am making my own music now and create the videos from scratch 🙃 😅 🙂
I hope it works out for you!
@@VEEDCREATORS thanks
I made my channel like a month ago and i got my 1000 subcribers and the 4000 hrs of watching time and i apply for the ad sense account and they denied it because they say i cant reuse sound even if they are royalty free i dont have any copyright issues in my videos so i don’t understand im so sad because i was very exited i got to the 1000 subcribers very quickly but naah 😢 so what can i do?
I am your 1,000th subscriber
Thanks Warren!! Amazing!
It's not my meditation , relaxing music channel has been up for 2 yrs at 28 subs and 500 watch hours. I gave up but now am going back to fix it up and add more videos.. cannot even find my channel except through my 1st channel being subscribed it's so not on radar.. 😅 Thank you for this advice video , very helpful
U really help me and save time. Btw how about own composition of meditation music on youtube ?
This is probably the bets option!
Thank you for showing the reality! There are way too many people online telling others how to make money online without doing it themselves.
One thing though: There is a big difference between a meditation and a relaxing sound video. That's why the videos you showed as examples didn't claim to be mediation videos.
Yeah, you could draw that distinction. It is a term that tends to get used for both though - eg. sounds for meditation
just about to do it, my job sucks, but now Ill have to think it over, tho I did not plan to use any ,any, of the regular sounds.
Somebody is lying bc I went to a monetizer checker and checked Rain channels that were less than a yr old and they were monetized and nothing seemed to original from what I seen.
How about if I upload these ambient videos on a already monetized channel, will I still make money off of it?
Yes I think so
And what about doing RUclips shorts with copyright Free music
It's crazy to me that people are showing what they want to watch and RUclips is refusing to monetize. Insane. These people watch these videos over and over
In my experience, it's not a great way to get views - the niche is very oversaturated
I want to believe that's due to reused content.
Curious to know if anything has changed after 2 years and if you actually monetised the channel?
Im planning to start making relaxing content from videos and sounds I recorded myself, do you think it will get monetized?
You probably have a better chance, but I can't say for certain
Is there a follow up of this one? :) cheers!!
Nothing happens over night (30 days). You have to post for months and years to accumulate the momentum needed to make the money. What you put in the universe is what you get out. Great video!
I recently started a lullaby music channel but i am not using any stock footage.
Thanks. You saved me from making the same mistake and wasting mega hours posting reuse content. Thanks (BTW - Darth Vader Sent Me☢)
You're welcome!
You definitely can't use the same things other people are using for sure and it's a long haul period especially if you are new! Hopefully, you use all free tools and don't spend a fortune on tools and then don't make a dime!
I love your videos
Thank you!
My goal is not monetization. I just want to reach out to the masses. How do I do that? This niche seems like the toughest for me.
What is the expansion for Chrome to see RUclips video Tags like here 3:50
but why same people said there channel are no monitised ???
What so even if i create the music myself i can't monetize?😮
Thank you
You're welcome!
Nice
I want to start a channel like "Lofi Girl" I will use my own composed music. will it monetize?
Yes, because it is your own original content
You can monetize it in other ways. You can add a call out at the very beginning of the video that goes to a related affiliate product.
I checked out that channel you made, and maybe it's the thumbnails? In my experience they weren't "clickable" enough for what the video was. Maybe that's the thing?
Could have been a factor for sure! But I guess that still goes against the idea of this being an "easy money making hack"
