Hi Everyone!
I am George Pierce. This post is about trying something new for me. What I share is often the online venture that I am presently working on.
You get a chance to look over my shoulder and follow along. I primarily use YouTube to drive traffic to my websites and squeeze pages and offers.
This strategy is a little different. It is about creating a YT channel and filling it with premade videos. Anyone can download a video and upload to their YT channel, so I urge you to stay with me.
Here is my newest venture (adventure).
Classic TV!???
A Classic Television Channel on YouTube.
So far, YT is not accepting the above channel banner from Canva. I will try Pixlr. Both sites are free. Create a YT channel, it is truly easy, then go to Camva and create your YT banner, download it and upload it to YT under customize channel.
Gazillions of Classic TV shows are available as Public Domain videos from archive.org. They are free to use, totally legal, and do not create any copyright issues on YT. Go to archive.org, find the shows, movies, commercials, old movies, etc., and download them, then upload them to your channel.
I have done some research and so far this looks extremely promising.
You will find thousands of classic TV shows, and thousands of classic TV commercials, along with short old movies, such as the Little Rascals. You will find over 6600 shows and over 13.000 classic commercials, just shy of 20K altogether from achive.org alone. All these old TV shows, commercials, movies, and themes are very popular. These kinds of videos can get 20K to over 1M views. Of course, there is competition, but keyword research should easily overcome that. Once your channel qualifies (1000 subs and 4K hours of watch time), YT will pay you for your views.
$$$$$$!!
Per Influencer Marketer Hub, most YT channels average $3 to $5 per thousand views. Your income potential ranges from $60 to $3000+ per video/
This is a 1980 TV commercial for L'Eggs with Juliet Prowse.
I added an intro and outro which I can re-use on all my videos. The video, of course, is a free download from archive dot org.
As mentioned, it is easy to download videos and then upload them to your YT channel. Sprinkle in a little SEO and your channel will outperform most other channels, they simply do not know SEO.
I am inviting you to consider giving this a try. I cannot legally make any kind of guarantees, but there are a lot of people that are making a lot of money on YouTube and they are using other people's videos legally and for free. I have added a little bit of editing, but this option needs no editing. if you make that choice.
Although a branding intro and an outro are good ideas, they are not essential.
I suggest that you get some free training in creating videos and SEO. For help with videos, check out my Faceless Video training series right here on SE.

More Details
What you are seeing is a form of Internet Marketing. The keyword is MARKETING. If you only create your channel, YT will not give you much attention until you hit at least 100 videos, so allow me to share how to speed that up and that is by Marketing your videos. This is easy, just share your videos on other Internet platforms, especially social media.
In other words,
Create a website...Webador is super easy and always free. Systeme is a complete marketing platform that stays free for up to 2K subscribers.
Create a FB page and join several FB groups that are relative to your video content.
Join other social media sites such as TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, and LinkedIn.
Create a blogger.com account.
Setting up these accounts is simple, it only takes a few minutes and once they are set up, you can use your YT share button to share your YT posts with all the accounts with just a few clicks. You can MARKET your videos to some of the highest-traffic sites on the Internet in a matter of seconds!
This helps your videos and your channel in two ways. From an SEO standpoint, your sharing is creating backlinks to your video from the highest-ranking sites on the Internet which adds to your ranking, which is how the search engines perceive the importance of your site (channel).
Let's say that you and I are competing Classic TV channels. I upload the above video and so do you, but I do NOT share (market) my video, and you share your video with these high-ranking social sites. The search engines are going to send traffic to your channel over mine!
In addition, sharing your YT posts will gain exposure and of course, generate traffic. Also, the search engines see that your channel is getting this extra traffic and that mine is not, so your channel ranks even higher.
My intent is to initially upload numerous videos per day to build content and to show YT that my channel is serious.
I will use Ubersuggest and TubeBuddy for the SEO, in other words, to find keywords with good traffic and low competition. Both are available as a free Chrome extension which makes them super convenient.
My website is with AIOP, I will be using a site builder called Serendipity, a good site builder, yet light weight which makes it fast loading. AIOP is not free, but it is the lowest-priced value-packed marketing platform on the Internet.
I will be building a list, but I have not thought that far ahead, yet. I want to learn the ropes regarding this niche. I love the niche, so that is a good start. I will also be looking for and at other sites for content (downloads) and affiliate products. FYI...T-shirts always work which I already have with Spreadshirt. Spreadshirt is free, provides you with a free site, and does almost all the work.
All of the above is FREE, and all of the above is easy. I am a firm believer that anyone can succeed as an Internet Marketer. Although this YouTube opportunity is yet untested for me, personally, this is close to failproof.
HUMOR
Speaking of TV and Classics...
John was home watching TV. It was getting late and his wife Marge was not home yet.
John was getting a little concerned about Marge and also about the car. John and Marge
were the owners of a Classic Chevrolet, and that is what Marge was driving this evening.
Fortunately, Marge showed up, and John was relieved.
Then she said, "I cannot get the car started, There seems to be some water in the carburetor."
John knew that was a strange thing for Marge to say.
"Marge, you do not even know what a carburetor is," replied John, "and I know that you do not know how to diagnose a car problem. Where is the car, I will go look at it."
Marge answered, "It is in our little goldfish pond."
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

EXTRA!
Create A GIF. Above is the GIF from the video. You can create one for free at GIPHY. Post your GIF on Imgur dot com.
GIPHY does all the work, you supply the video link from YT, trim your video (30 sec. max), add a link back to your channel, add text such as Visit Us,
and save. GIFs are moving images so they automatically get our attention. When posting to Imgur, be sure to include a description and a link back to your channel as well.
Use what you see above on sites such as Quora that do not allow backlinks.
If you are familiar with my training, I have been recommending GIFs on squeeze pages and in emails for a couple of years. The big dogs and email sites such as AWeber are now using GIFs. As mentioned, they grab attention...and in our case they help us to better tell our story.
FYI: My first video is getting views and I have not yet set up TikTok. TT has real traffic potential. I will use TT to send traffic to my channel. I am going to get a few uploads, however, in place, so there is some content, before unleashing TT. See my SE Faceless Video training link above for help with YT and TT videos.
In this post, you have more than what you need to tap into the riches that YT has to offer. All you need to do is to get started.
WRONG AGAIN!
I am often wrong, I am the KING of mistakes, and proud of it. The more mistakes, the faster success will arrive. I mentioned below in a comment that Imgur gets 70M visitors a month, that is what I read, but when I checked it out, I was wrong. According to Google, they get about 500M a month, and Google says that GIPHY gets about 300M a day!
You and I might need a wheelbarrow! (for the money)

This sounds like great news for you and people that see this post and read it all the way through George. There's no doubt that Youtube videos are golden and generate a lot of traffic and since it's owned by Google. Of course they will get index and ranked in their search engines because Google owns it. What better place to go for content to put in there search engine then Youtube. As you said there is requirements that must be followed such as keywords for SEO. Thank you George for sharing this new strategy here in the Syndication Express community.
I am getting back to this post because I want to add this lesser-known traffic secret. I am creating a GIF, you can do this at GIPHY dot com and then post it on Imgur dot com and include a link back to your channel. You can also use your GIF in posts, and it can help you on Quora. Imgur gets about 70 M visitors a month so it is a good traffic source. I know this YouTube income strategy will work for you and the little traffic extras will speed things up. BTW...I like the intro, but the outro needs fixing. I am open to suggestions. thanks.
I'm getting a litte information overload and I have to slow down a bit because of my other daily tasks. I have to keep a list on things to do each day. I'm almost caught up. Your trainings are fantastic, keep up the great work you're doing my friend.
