1
All right, item number one is that no one cares about your videos.
2
This is two categories of people do not care.
3
Number one, your friends and family do not care.
4
And number two, the audience also does not care.
5
Firstly, on the friends and family front,
6
I was so worried when I started YouTube six years ago that people were gonna say bad things about it.
7
I was afraid people were gonna judge me.
8
And then I started making videos and I realized no one cares, no one cares.
9
People are busy with their own lives.
10
People are doing their own stuff.
11
They do not give a flying toss whether or not I have a YouTube channel or whether or not I make videos.
12
They're never watching my videos my videos are not aimed at them.
13
And so me making videos is not for the sake of my friends and family.
14
And so many people get held back by the worry of what their friends, their family, their coworkers, their boss,
15
their aunt, their uncle, their dog is gonna think about their YouTube channel.
16
No one cares.
17
Everyone is doing their own thing.
18
You can absolutely do YouTube and I guarantee your friends and family will not care.
19
Secondly, the other category of people that doesn't care is the audience.
20
When I first started making YouTube videos six years ago, I thought people would care.
21
I started making videos about me and my friends singing songs, a cover of Payphone by Maroon 5, I have a cover of Adele or whatever.
22
And the way I now think about this
23
and what I kind of wish I'd known before is that videos on YouTube are not actually free.
24
People are paying for watching your videos.
25
They're just not paying with their cash.
26
They are paying with their time and attention.
27
And those are two currencies that are even more valuable than money.
28
And so when you're new to YouTube and you make a video and it doesn't get any views and you think,
29
oh, the algorithm doesn't like me.
30
It's not that the algorithm doesn't like you.
31
It's that your video is not worth watching.
32
People have not decided to click on that video.
33
People have not decided to watch it because it has not provided them with any value.
34
And these days, increasingly, people have so many choices of how they can spend their time on the internet.
35
The thing they want to do is they want value.
36
Whether that's value in the form of entertainment or education or inspiration, it needs to have some kind of value.
37
And if there is no value in the video, then people will not watch the video.
38
And if people are not watching the video, the algorithm will recognize that no one's watching it and is therefore not going to recommend it.
39
And this is enormously liberating and enormously freeing when you're getting started because it means you don't need to overthink it.
40
No one's gonna watch the first several videos anyway you have to start off by being bad.
41
And over time by being bad repeatedly, you will eventually be good at making videos.
42
Your videos will start to add value.
43
You'll start to figure out what your niche is.
44
And then when people give up their time and attention to watch your videos, it will actually be worth it for them.
45
And now the algorithm is gonna start recommending you and then your channel will grow.
46
And then at some point you'll become a millionaire and then life will be all great.
47
Lesson number two is the difference between being an architect and being an archeologist.
48
Now, what I wish someone had told me
49
when I first started YouTube is that there are two approaches to finding your niche.
50
Firstly, there is the archaeologist approach.
51
The archaeologist approach is where you think, okay, there's some interesting videos I can make over there.
52
And you start making those videos and you make a handful of them and you see what happens.
53
And then you realize no one cares and you're not very good.
54
And maybe you didn't enjoy making those videos.
55
So then you go to a new topic and then you do this a bunch of times.
56
And eventually by exploring enough hot zones, just like an archaeologist would, eventually you'll be making that video and then something good will happen.
57
Maybe you'll get one comment when normally you have none.
58
Maybe that video will get a hundred views but normally it gets three.
59
That's like the equivalent of the archaeologist digging and then finding something like, oh, hello, there's something here.
60
And now that you found something interesting in the area, you continue to excavate, you continue to dig.
61
And this means basically continuing to make more and more videos about that topic.
62
Now, the alternative way to approach YouTube is as an architect.
63
Now, an architect does not bother kind of willy -nilly digging in random areas.
64
An architect has a plan.
65
They've got the blueprint, they know exactly what's going to happen.
66
And only once they have all the information out there and it's all written down,
67
do they start to hire someone to lay the first brick and lay the foundations.
68
If you're trying to approach YouTube like an architect and you have no experience with making videos, you're trying to make the plan,
69
you're trying to figure out your niche in advance,
70
chances are you're not actually going to take any action because it's very difficult to figure out your niche in advance.
71
The vast majority of people that I would recommend should start by being an archaeologist.
72
If you don't yet know how to make videos, it doesn't matter what you're trying to make videos about, your niche is irrelevant.
73
Focus on making the videos, digging like an archaeologist, and over time, as you get better at making videos,
74
you will then start to figure out what works in terms of of how you feel about making certain types of content,
75
and also what seems to be resonating with the audience.
76
In my case, I started off with making videos about singing, no one cared.
77
I then started making travel vlogs about my adventures on my medical elective in Cambodia and Vietnam, no one cares.
78
I made a series talking about how I was building a medical app, no one cared.
79
I started vlogging about life as a medical student, broadly no one cared, but it was when I started making specific educational videos,
80
helping people who were applying to medical school back in the day, six years ago, that was when people started to care.
81
And based on that, people started to ask me, how do you do all this studying for exams?
82
What study tips do you have?
83
And I started making videos about study tips and people cared.
84
I dabbled with a bunch of other series at that time that no one cared about, but then people started asking me,
85
how are you so productive?
86
And I made videos about that.
87
And then people started to care to the point that now six years later, I'm the world's most followed productivity expert.
88
I've written a book about productivity.
89
It's coming out in a few months, link down below, but none of this was intentional.
90
It was all the archeologist approach of like digging, making the videos and consistently just sticking to producing one or two videos every single week,
91
even while I was a full -time medical student and trying to prepare for my final year exams.
92
So if you're allowing the concern about not having a niche hold you back from making the videos, please don't let it.
93
Just go for it.
94
And I promise your niche will emerge over time.
95
Lesson number three is the importance of supply and demand.
96
Now, supply and demand is an economic reality, but is also very much a reality here on YouTube.
97
And basically what happens here is that the more supply of a particular type of content there is,
98
the higher the bar gets raised in terms of how you stand out.
99
The lower the supply and the higher the demand, the lower the bar gets.
100
So for example, right now, YouTube is absolutely saturated with videos from students teaching people how to study for exams.
101
There is a very high supply of that content.
102
There's still a pretty reasonably high demand for it, but the bar is very high.
103
That means if you're a brand new YouTuber without any camera gear, without any experience talking to camera,
104
without any experience editing, just filming on your phone, it is very unlikely that you'll be able to stand out.
105
Now, based on this reality, there are two different approaches you can take.
106
One approach you can take is just improving the quality of your videos.
107
I wanna continue making videos, let's say about productivity.
108
I know the bar is here, and therefore I want my videos to be there,
109
for example, so they cross the bar and so that they stand out in a crowded market.
110
The problem is it's very hard to make videos stand out in a crowded market.
111
Generally, you need some kind of unfair advantage, more on that later,
112
but the alternative approach is to choose not to compete in a niche where there is already quite a lot of attention.
113
We've had thousands of students go through my course, the Part -Time YouTuber Academy so far,
114
and like 80 % of them want to make content about productivity, personal development, finance, and business because they enjoy that stuff.
115
But the problem with all of those very broad niches is that they are very, very, very saturated.
116
And generally the ones that we find succeed are the ones who niche further
117
and further down so that they can make very specific videos about a specific topic
118
that they have some sort of unfair advantage in.
119
Lesson number four is the importance of thinking in systems.
120
Now back in the day for the first,
121
let's say six to 12 months of me making videos where I made my first 50 to 100 videos,
122
I was focused on thinking one video at a time.
123
I was thinking in terms of videos.
124
I was like, cool, what video am I going to make this week?
125
And then I would write the video, I'd film, I'll edit, I'd publish.
126
And as the video was uploading, I'd think about the title and figure out the thumbnail.
127
I'd publish the video, I'd look at the comments, and then I'd move on to the next one.
128
This is an absolutely exhausting way of making YouTube videos if you're focused on making the videos one at a time.
129
The big level up that I I had about a year into my YouTube journey was
130
when I started to think in terms of systems.
131
I read a fantastic book called The E -Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber,
132
which is a book about how small businesses grow and how small businesses fail.
133
And initially I thought I wouldn't learn anything from it,
134
but then I realized that a YouTube channel is a business and businesses grow through systems and through operations.
135
Now there are some people that choose to view YouTube as a hobby.
136
And if you wanna view it as a hobby, that's totally fine.
137
But if you wanna view it as a business, i .e something that makes money while providing value for other people, rather than as a hobby,
138
which is something you do for yourself for fun, if you wanna view it as a business, then there's a profound importance in thinking in systems.
139
So instead of thinking, what video can I make today?
140
What video can I make tomorrow?
141
Think, what is the system that I can build
142
that would make the process of making every subsequent video way easier than it currently is?
143
This might involve, like I do, having a content library, a database of video ideas.
144
This is all the stuff that we teach on our course, by the way.
145
It might involve systematically brainstorming titles and thumbnails in advance.
146
It might involve having a systematic house style for your thumbnails, so it's less work to create thumbnails every time.
147
It might involve having a specific system for how you look at YouTube analytics
148
and what action you can take on them and completely ignoring the analytics that you don't intend to act upon.
149
The point is by thinking in systems and by treating your YouTube channel as a business, as a sort of media business,
150
which is basically what it is, you can start to benefit from economies of scale by the fact
151
that you're making multiple videos over a very long period of time.
152
And systems are a form of leverage.
153
It's like the same amount of effort combined with leverage gets you way more output.
154
And especially as part -time YouTubers, if like I was, you're trying to grow a YouTube channel
155
while you've got a really demanding day job or while you're a student, systems and leverage are one of the key principles
156
that will take your YouTube channel to the next level without it completely ruining your life.
157
Now, if you're in that boat and you do want to take YouTube seriously, but you're not sure exactly what the next steps are,
158
then you can take my completely free quiz.
159
It's called the YouTube growth scorecard, and it's a completely free assessment
160
that I've put together based on my six plus years of experience to try
161
and figure out what are the key things
162
that it takes to grow a YouTube channel into a sustainable and a profitable business.
163
And you can take this quiz completely for free and based on your answers to the questions,
164
it will give you a score for all of the five different aspects of growing a YouTube channel business.
165
And it will give you actionable, tangible takeaway points depending on how you answered and depending on your score.
166
So you can check out that completely free YouTube growth scorecard by clicking the link in the video description.
167
All right, lesson number five is the profound and ridiculous importance of titles and thumbnails.
168
Honestly, I don't like the fact that YouTube is so reliant on titles and thumbnails,
169
but the truth of the matter is the video could be the absolute best thing in the world,
170
but unless the packaging for it is sufficiently intriguing for the target audience that you're aiming for, no one is going to click on that video.
171
And if no one clicks on the video, they don't even have an opportunity to watch it.
172
This means, and this is the thing that I wish I'd known when I started YouTube,
173
that it's very, very helpful to think about the title in the thumbnail before you even think about writing the video.
174
Back in the day, as I mentioned, I would think about the title and thumbnail as I was uploading the video.
175
This is very, very inefficient because it takes a lot of effort, 10, 20 hours sometimes to make a video.
176
Way more if you're making videos that require lots of research and lots of effort.
177
And putting in all that research and all that effort
178
and all that time and effort and blood and sweat and tears into making the video, but then thinking about the title
179
and thumbnail as the final 30 seconds is completely the opposite way around of thinking about it.
180
So now what I do on this channel is
181
that we really think about the title and thumbnail first
182
and only when we can think of a really nice title
183
and thumbnail for a video do we then even consider what the video outline is going to be
184
or think about writing the video.
185
Now as part of my part time YouTuber Academy, I've interviewed dozens of ridiculously successful YouTubers from several hundred thousand subscribers to over 10 million subscribers.
186
And I always ask them, what is one thing that you wish you knew before starting YouTube?
187
And this is the one thing that they say, they always talk about the importance of the title and the thumbnail.
188
And every single YouTuber learns this the hard way that over time,
189
you've got to do your title and thumbnail first and then worry about the content of the video itself.
190
What I would encourage you to do is to think about who is the person
191
you actually want to be watching this video?
192
Because whatever the video is, it's not aimed at everyone.
193
This video is not aimed at everyone.
194
It's aimed at people who want to start or who want to grow a YouTube channel, who are probably quite sophisticated,
195
who are probably highly attractive and very intelligent,
196
people like you, and therefore it wouldn't make sense for me to make the thumbnail for this video something like this.
197
That would be pretty absurd, right?
198
Like it's a bit, it's not really the vibe of this sort of educational video.
199
Even though this thumbnail might work for a MrBeast video,
200
it's not going to work for a video on this channel because it's a different kind of target audience.
201
So yes, title and thumbnail are very important, but that doesn't mean you need to follow the Mr. Beast formula for titles and thumbnails.
202
Think about what would resonate with your target audience.
203
Relatedly, we come to lesson number six, which is the importance of the first 30 seconds.
204
So if the title and thumbnail were ridiculously important, the first 30 seconds of your video are like second, secondary in terms of importance,
205
but also very, very, very important.
206
You'll see that in the first 10 or 20 seconds,
207
a lot of people will have clicked on the video and then they will leave the content.
208
And with a lot of channels,
209
especially educational channels, you'll get 30 seconds into the video and only half of of the people will be left remaining.
210
That means that any effort you put into the first 30 seconds of the video,
211
the first minute of the video will be disproportionately seen by way more many people than the effort
212
that you put into the second half of the video where maybe only 10 or 20 % of the audience is remaining.
213
And so the way to think about this is that if you're spending lots and lots of time on your editing,
214
but the funky animations you're making come seven minutes into the video, chances are very few people are gonna see them.
215
Try your best to front load the effort into the video so that as soon as someone clicks on it,
216
they see, oh, a lot of effort has gone into this.
217
And then they're more likely to stick around once they turn their phone sideways, once they click full screen.
218
At that point, you can back off a little bit,
219
but you do have to do quite a lot of work upfront to get people hooked onto the content.
220
Lesson number seven is that at the start of the journey, gear doesn't really matter.
221
I know plenty of YouTubers in the educational space who have just been filming with their iPhone,
222
some to this day who just film with their iPhone,
223
and they've got hundreds of thousands of subscribers and are making at least six figures a year here on YouTube,
224
and they're just filming with their phone.
225
Gear does not matter at the start.
226
However, if you can afford gear and you can level up your production value,
227
it is one thing that makes your content stand out from the crowd.
228
But again, this depends on your target audience.
229
There's like a sweet spot for production value.
230
For certain educational niches that are aimed mostly at intelligent adults, which is probably people like you, having decent production value is pretty good.
231
In the tech niche, for example, having good production value is basically a requirement because people like that sort of thing in the tech niche.
232
But if you're doing, for example, a lifestyle vlog that's trying to be relatable,
233
then shooting your content with like cinema cameras is going to make it seem less relatable rather than more relatable
234
and so there isn't really much point in doing that.
235
So for every different type of content
236
and for every different audience there is a sweet spot of production value
237
and if you can get to that sweet spot by investing in gear
238
and lights and cameras and likes and stuff then fantastic
239
but you don't want to make the mistake of going too far along
240
that spectrum especially in the early days especially
241
if you're just starting out you can absolutely get lots
242
and lots and lots of subscribers and lots of views by filming things with your phone.
243
The main thing is the quality of the content itself rather than the production value of the cameras.
244
That'll come later and that is something that can give you that little bit of sprinkle of extra spice over time.
245
All right, lesson number eight is to find your unfair advantage.
246
Now, having taught over 3 ,000 students from my part -time YouTuber Academy,
247
we've been analyzing the data painstakingly and trying to figure out what is it
248
that makes the most successful YouTubers stand out compared to everyone else.
249
And in almost every single case where we've had a student whose channel is really blown up after taking our course,
250
a big part of it is that they've had some sort of unfair advantage to lean into.
251
Now, what is an unfair advantage?
252
An unfair advantage is something that would be very difficult or impossible for someone else to replicate.
253
So hard work is not an unfair advantage.
254
Hard work is a totally fair advantage.
255
It's like everyone can compete on the realm of hard work, but an unfair advantage is something that's a little unfair,
256
something that would be very difficult for someone else to actually take as their own advantage.
257
For example, when I started YouTube, I lent into my unfair advantage of the fact
258
that I was a Cambridge University medical student
259
because there weren't many Cambridge University medical students making videos about how to get into medicine at Cambridge.
260
Crucially, being a Cambridge University medical student and trying to make videos playing the guitar, I don't have any unfair advantage there.
261
Therefore, there's not much point in doing it because it's very unlikely to be successful.
262
But I found a domain of video making where I was leaning into an unfair advantage.
263
Similarly, let's say that you've painstakingly worked really hard to teach yourself a language
264
and now you wanna make YouTube videos teaching other people how to learn that language.
265
That is in a way an unfair advantage
266
because it's very hard for someone to compete with you because they would have had to learn the language.
267
And especially if you're trying to create videos in a saturated marketplace, which a lot of different niches are on YouTube these days,
268
it's important to think, what are the ways in which you can personally stand out?
269
What unfair advantages do you have?
270
Now, crucially, this does not matter at the start we talked about architect and archaeologist and at the start,
271
the main thing you need to do is just make a few videos.
272
But definitely once you get to the point of treating your YouTube channel like a business
273
and thinking strategically about how you're going to grow and how you're going to stand out,
274
thinking what are the personal competitive unfair advantages that I have?
275
that could help me stand out from the crowd is a very helpful way of helping
276
you figure out what your angle for videos is gonna be.
277
And then lesson number nine is something
278
I wish someone had told me like months into my YouTube journey rather than two years into it, which is when I started doing it,
279
which is to outsource your video editing as soon as you possibly can.
280
The vast majority of the big successful YouTubers I know have outsourced their editing.
281
And when you do outsource your editing, you find
282
that it frees up an absolutely enormous amount of time for you to be able to focus on the things
283
that you can do better, which is writing and filming the videos.
284
And that was held back so much at the start by thinking that no one could replicate my editing style.
285
It would be hard to find an editor.
286
I tried outsourcing to someone and then it didn't really work.
287
And then I threw it away thinking that, oh, it would take so long to train them.
288
I might as well just continue editing the videos myself.
289
I told myself that I enjoyed video editing and it was fun and therefore I should continue doing it.
290
But what it took was a mentor of mine who had several multimillion dollar businesses to sit me down and be like,
291
look, oh wait, trust me, you need to outsource your editing.
292
And I thought, all right, cool.
293
So then I outsourced my editing and it completely changed my life.
294
And that was when the channel really started to skyrocket
295
because all of a sudden my own time was freed up to be able to make more videos,
296
to be able to think more strategically about the channel,
297
to be able to learn more stuff and share it in videos rather than what it was previously,
298
which is every day I'd get home from work in my day job as a doctor
299
and I'd be editing videos for hours and hours and hours and on end.
300
Now, again, if you're in this position where you wanna grow a YouTube channel, but you're not really sure what the next steps are,
301
you should absolutely check out my YouTube growth scorecard.
302
It'll be linked completely for free down in the video description
303
and it'll ask you a bunch of questions and based on your answers to that,
304
it will give you a score for the five different areas of growth on YouTube
305
and it will give you practical recommendations for what you can do as your next steps in each given area.
306
So these were nine lessons that I wish I'd known when I first started YouTube,
307
but this list does not lay out what the strategic step -by -step method that I would follow would be.
308
And so if you're starting on YouTube or your channel's not growing as fast as you'd like,
309
you might like to check out this video over here where I lay out exactly what I would do
310
if I was starting a YouTube channel completely from scratch.
311
And in that video, I give you my three -part method for growth on YouTube,
312
which thousands of people have said have completely changed the way they approach their channels.
313
So thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
314
Bye -bye.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
