Here you go…Step-by-Step. First Stats, then Steps.

I’m revealing to you below step-by-step everything you need to do – I’ve compiled all steps in this easy-to-read document. This way, if you decide to go it on your own, you know what to do. Just make sure you have 24-30 hours per week, okay? Where most people fall short is the follow-through. They get off to a roaring start in the beginning, but life gets in the way, and they stop posting content. Before I give you the steps, let’s look at a few success stats I’ve compiled for you.

The Tangible Reality of YouTube Success

TV and network television is DEAD. That’s why all the corporations selling products are going after YouTubers. Some of the highest viewed TV shows are getting anywhere between 250K to maybe 1.5 mil viewers. The cost of running TV ads are in the hundreds of thousands to millions. Contrast this with a young teen YouTuber doing a makeup tutorial or a middle-aged amateur cook in his home kitchen getting 500K to 3 mil views on one video. Corporations are swarming around these people, throwing advertising dollars at them, trying to piggyback onto their audiences. Below I have compiled for you stories of people just like you and me who have used these steps to achieve success financially on YouTube. It’s working like a charm and is within anyone’s reach. Here are the World’s Highest-Paid YouTube Stars 2015 according to Forbes:

Remember, YouTube is just like TV and your audience wants to see new content from you on a consistent day and time. If you tune in to see your favorite TV show and it’s not on, what do you do? You find something new. And you need subscribers to make sure you have people that will watch your videos on a regular basis. Your subs are notified every time you upload something new, so it’s an instant view. That’s why a single video, no matter how good it is, is not enough for YouTube success.

Videos on YouTube are like TV shows, if you don’t have a new episode on the same day every week, you will not only stop your channel from growing, but you will even start to lose subscribers, as they will simply hunt down a new channel just like yours to satisfy their hunger to watch. Uploading video content on a regular basis builds momentum, increases your video’s ranking in the search, and keeps your audience engaged.

A successful YouTube Channel has a minimum of one day a week where a new video is posted and that day needs to stay consistent. So if you pick Tuesday, then every Tuesday your channel needs a new video. It has to be run like a TV network to work. Besides the main post day it is always a good idea to throw a few other videos up randomly when something is trending on YouTube, so you also need to understand how to watch for trending topics even before they hit virally. If your channel is posting videos correctly and posting 4-6 videos a month, never missing a main post day, you’re going to see success eventually.
