Hi Everone!
I am George Pierce. This post is about an experiment that I have begun on YT, I have invested about 3 hours of my time in 29 days. I am not purposely trying to put in a minimum amount of time and effort, but I am very happy with the results.
Above is a snapshot of a new YT channel that is 29 days old. The channel is based on an adaptation of a Faceless Video strategy which is a way to make money on YT without having to make videos, without having to be on camera, without having to do a voice-over, and without having to spend money. My adaptation is to download vintage media from public domain sites and then upload that media to YT. The uploading and downloading is the second step in the process, the first step is to do a little research to determine that people are going to be interested in watching whatever media I choose, and the third is to share the video, once it is uploaded, in order to get more exposure. More about this shortly.
My initial channel is one that focuses on vintage media of any kind, such as old TV shows, old commercials, old cartoons, old movies, and so on.
My recent experiment is Mr. P's Movie Classics channel on YT. It focuses on old movies and only movies.
An important discovery that I made on my first channel is that longer videos get more watch time. Movies, of course, are automatically longer videos. As you can see in the snapshot at the top of this post, the new channel has gotten over 37 hours of watch time in its first 28 days. Watch time is a major factor when it comes to getting exposure from YT. Watch time tells YT that people like your content or that people do not like your content. The more watch time that your content gets, the better, and more watch time means that YT is more likely to share your videos with more and more viewers...all organically and all for free.
Above is my most watched video, so far. This video has one of two thumbnails that I created. It is getting 4+ views a day.
I have been investing about 10 minutes total into each movie and only when I get a chance. 19 videos, so far, is about 190 minutes or just a little over 3 hours. This is not how I do things (with minimum effort), but, again, this is an experiment. Fortunately, it looks most promising because of the amount of watch time that the channel is already getting.
In addition, on the new channel, I have omitted an intro and an outro, almost eliminated thumbnail creation, and minimized video publishing time. I will share more about this new channel in future posts.
If you are searching for a way to make money online, I have created a training video that explains in detail each of the three steps in my process. I invite you to check out my Faceless Video Training. I have over 20 years of online marketing experience and this is the easiest option that I have seen. See if it is right for you.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
PS. Watch time seems to be the biggest driver when it comes to gaining more free exposure from YT. More exposure relates to more views and more subscribers, again, it starts with watch time, so I hope to share more great news about this experimental channel in future posts.
