Speaker A
So what you're seeing right here, your eyes do not deceive you, this says 1.1 million subscribers off one single video.
00:13
Speaker A
So in this video, I'm going to explain exactly how we were able to achieve something like this.
00:18
Speaker A
And just in more detail explaining everything as well, right, so I want to give a little bit of context.
00:24
Speaker A
This channel currently has 11.6 million subscribers, and I want to kind of explain kind of where we're at right now.
00:31
Speaker A
The channel has died down a little bit because we're trying to fix things right now.
00:35
Speaker A
That's why I kind of came in to fix this stuff, but I want to explain this short right here, 96 million views, 1.1 million subscribers.
00:40
Speaker A
This is not bots, this is not a glitch, this is intentional how this content was made.
00:46
Speaker A
So I'm going to explain how you can achieve something like this and basically get a gold plaque off one single video.
00:50
Speaker A
So, how is this even possible, right, so the first thing you need to understand is understanding what viewmaxing really is.
00:56
Speaker A
I'm sure you've heard the term viewmaxing go around, but no one really does viewmaxing the way I do it, right?
01:00
Speaker A
Because viewmaxing in its essence, right, is getting the most amount of views possible just ever, right?
01:52
Speaker A
So if you want to get 100 million views on a video, that is viewmaxing, if you're trying to viewmax a specific niche, that is not viewmaxing, that is just getting views in the niche, viewmaxing is basically maxing the amount of reach you can get by gender, audience demographic, age, anything like that, even language.
02:10
Speaker A
So the biggest problem that people have when they're trying to viewmax is actually language barriers, so the reason why language sucks and the reason why I wish language was just never invented and we all just talked like cavemen, right?
02:26
Speaker A
If we talk like that, it would be much more beneficial because then you'd be able to basically understand what I'm saying and everyone would understand the same thing.
02:38
Speaker A
But because, you know, we speak like Spanish and Chinese and English and all these other random languages, it makes it really difficult to get the most amount of views, this is why visual storytelling is very important.
03:22
Speaker A
This is how this video here got 1.1 million subscribers off one video, it's using visual storytelling with the 2CTA method.
03:30
Speaker A
So what visual storytelling is, I'm going to just do VS for visual storytelling, it's basically not using any language, so eliminating language completely from your video and only using visual storytelling to explain what's going on, so for example, instead of saying, I am going to put my headphones on, right, like this, what I do is I go up like this, I go, right, like a caveman.
04:05
Speaker A
So what you're trying to do here is you're trying to basically communicate through just audio what is going on and visually what's going on without any language.
04:18
Speaker A
I know what I'm saying kind of sounds like I'm going in a circle, but it's so important for me to hammer this down.
04:30
Speaker A
And what I learned this, I'll tell you a little bit of story, I used to play a lot of soccer, right, all you guys are in the UK and everywhere else football, you know, same thing regardless.
05:06
Speaker A
Right, so, um, I used to play a lot of soccer, I was a very, very, uh, talented athlete, and I would go to the soccer field and I'd play all the time, I was listening to this podcast from Mr. Beast, this was like a couple years ago when YouTube was rolling out this audio feature where you can have multiple audio tracks on a single YouTube video, and when I was listening to this, he was talking about how, oh yeah, yeah, we hired the Naruto voice actor and he's, uh, you know, now they're kind of voicing our stuff for Japan and and we have all these other Mr. Beast and Espanol, Mr. Beast and French, and I'm like, why is he doing this, right?
05:42
Speaker A
And I realized like, the reason he's doing this, even though Mr. Beast is the biggest YouTuber in the world, is because he's limited by the amount of people who speak English.
06:06
Speaker A
So he realized that he had to use other languages in order to get the most reach and really grow, right, it's so innovative, right, and now you have the option where like, I'm sure if you're watching this, maybe there's maybe an audio track in the AI where YouTube has an AI audio track, right, but the thing is, right, the thing about AI audio tracks is not everyone thinks it's good, one, and two, in shorts, it's really bad, that's why using visual storytelling is so much better.
06:51
Speaker A
I'm going to show you the best YouTube short that was ever uploaded, it has 1.7 billion views, and you tell me for yourself, it's by Daniel LaBelle.
06:57
Speaker A
And I'll show you exactly how or what I mean.
07:00
Speaker A
So I'm sure everyone knows who this guy is, this is the guy who basically runs really fast.
07:05
Speaker A
He has 35 million subs, I know everyone here who's watching this has at least watched one of his videos, this is basically what he does, right?
07:19
Speaker A
All he does is he just runs around and he just does stuff, right, he cleans, but you'll notice like, I know you can't hear the audio because my audio is a little messed up right now, but there's no actual music, there's no language, it's just him running.
07:35
Speaker A
He's going, and he's running around, right, so that's all he's doing here.
07:42
Speaker A
It's just he's running around, he's just cleaning stuff and just a camera set up.
07:50
Speaker A
This is pretty much anyone can understand this, every human cleans stuff.
08:00
Speaker A
Other than like those people on like Sentinel Island who like are live in a tribe, right, but everyone else in the United or in the world understands this, and this video got 1.7 billion views, right, it was uploaded three years ago.
08:23
Speaker A
And you can even see the comment ratio is not even that high, but he still gets comments every single hour on this channel, right, um, because the video is just able to be watched by everyone by using visual storytelling, that's why VS is so important and this is how you viewmax.
08:56
Speaker A
That's how you also get so many subs, in January, we got two billion views.
09:06
Speaker A
In February, we got 1.6 billion views.
09:11
Speaker A
And now we're halfway through March, I haven't even calculated it yet, but I'm guessing it's around probably 1.4 to 1.6.
09:22
Speaker A
We haven't really grown that much this month because we actually had some channels that have kind of flatlined a little bit.
09:28
Speaker A
And we're trying to figure that out, but regardless.
09:32
Speaker A
It's good to be stuck at 1.5 billion views per month, right?
09:37
Speaker A
You know, at least that's a good spot to be.
09:40
Speaker A
That's how we're making so much money, as you can see here, actually, I'll show you right now.
09:45
Speaker A
We have so many different channels that we're running, like, uh, last month we made like 80 grand off just all YouTube channels.
09:51
Speaker A
In January, we made 120 grand.
09:55
Speaker A
Uh, so last month was actually a little bit of a lower month, but you can see all the different channels we're running right now.
10:00
Speaker A
Like, this, we have so many channels, right?
10:02
Speaker A
But regardless, this is how we use viewmaxing to our advantage, you kind of scale channels, so remember, when you are scaling in the future, when you're trying to scale future channels, think about this.
10:14
Speaker A
I'm using language, how can I avoid using language?
10:19
Speaker A
I'm not saying using language is bad, I'm going to give you another example of another channel we've scaled up that is making like $4,000 a day right now.
10:30
Speaker A
And they use language in their videos, right?
10:34
Speaker A
But, um, I want to kind of show this because it's just really cool.
10:37
Speaker A
So here is a channel in the past 28 days, we've gotten 282 million views.
10:45
Speaker A
This is one of our students' channels, and you can see here.
10:50
Speaker A
We're hitting some pretty good revenue numbers right now, around 2.8 to 4K a day right now.
10:57
Speaker A
We're trying to get it to 5K, we'll be there soon.
11:00
Speaker A
You can see we have pretty much viewmaxed it, we're at 44 million 48-hour mark, we were at 50 million 48-hour mark a couple days ago.
11:07
Speaker A
Um, but I want you guys to understand here that when you are trying to scale a channel, you do not need to only use visual storytelling.
11:19
Speaker A
You can also use language if it's in a mass-scaled niche.
11:23
Speaker A
So there's a couple different mass-scaled niches that you can use, right?
11:30
Speaker A
With the main one being ranking, uh, ranking is probably the best niche you can do to get the most amount of views.
11:40
Speaker A
Ranking and animation are usually the two main ones.
11:45
Speaker A
So animation, ignore my bad handwriting, this is animation by the way.
11:50
Speaker A
And then ranking, right?
11:51
Speaker A
Um, so ranking and animation are the two best niches to just kind of viewmax.
12:02
Speaker A
You can also do this in a lot of other niches, like we have some students who are in some other niches like clipping like certain comedy shows and stuff like that.
12:10
Speaker A
They get like around half a billion views a month and they're making around like 75 grand a month, right?
12:15
Speaker A
But like ranking and animation are the two best ones to do if you're really trying to scale.
12:24
Speaker A
Also just clipping viral people also works as well, people think clipping is not, you know, really work anymore, but it does.
12:35
Speaker A
The thing is you have to be reformative, all of these have to be reformative, right?
12:40
Speaker A
Rank animation is kind of informative already, but ranking and clipping need to be reformative if you want to really scale it, and that's how we've been able to scale this channel right here up so high.
12:54
Speaker A
Because the ranking in this is just so reformative to a point where it's just like its own individual video.
13:04
Speaker A
That's why we've never gotten a strike on that channel.
13:08
Speaker A
If we did, we just basically won it.
13:10
Speaker A
I can't wait to make an interview with my student on this because he's going to be at around probably $80,000 a month when we do the interview, he's already made over 100 grand back from our program.
13:27
Speaker A
Uh, but yeah, that's going to be pretty much everything for this video.

13:54
Speaker A
I'm not joking, guys, like these are real results that we've hitting, we're hitting right now because we've just been doing this for so long.
14:00
Speaker A
I've been doing YouTube for almost nine years now.
14:03
Speaker A
Right, I have 42 automated channels, I've had hundreds of students in our program, if you want to look at the student interview section of our channel, just go on my profile, go to playlist, and look at all our student interviews.
14:14
