How I Doubled My Youtube Earnings In Just 30 Days

It's been a few weeks since I logged in and actually checked on my Youtube earnings and was pleasantly surprised to see my earnings had more than doubled.

How I Doubled My Youtube Earnings In Just 30 Days

What did I do to yield these improved results? Many people are probably thinking I optimized all my videos or I had a video go viral. Nope. All I did to more than double my earnings was simply post content and new videos consistantly, that is really all it takes.

I've long been a proponent of just putting in the work and the results will follow. Yes SEO and optimizing titles and descriptions is important both in terms of blogs and Youtube videos, but I feel many people get way too caught up thinking something is going to magically increase views and traffic. The truth of the matter is content is king and if you're putting out quality content on a regular basis the traffic will come and the money will follow the traffic.

I've done similar things on blog posts and Youtube videos in the past, but today I'm going to issue you guys a challenge. I challenge you to consistantly post either blog posts or Youtube videos consistantly for 30 days and come back and report to me how your traffic and earnings have changed either for better or for worse. I would put money on the fact that your traffic and earnings will increase.

So how consistantly should you be posting? Yes there is a point at which you will burn out your audience, however unless your posting 3+ Youtube videos or blog posts a day I highly doubt that will happen. My advice would be at a minimum you should be doing 3 quality blog posts or Youtube videos per week. If you can do one a day even better but post at least 3 times a week, promote those posts on social media and if you have a blog and a Youtube channel cross promote your blog posts on Youtube and vice versa, your Youtube posts on your blog. I can gurantee you will see a pickup in traffic as well as earnings.

I'm going to continue putting out quality content on a regular basis, and though I don't expect as dramatic results, doubling earnings every month if over the course of the next 6 months I can double earnings twice more I'll be at a point where my Youtube earnings are bringing in a fairly respectable income where as in the past it was more just "beer money".

I'll report back on how this little experiment goes.

These Simple Tips Will Increase Youtube Viewers & Improve Your Youtube Channel

I have had a Youtube Channel for years and just recently have been trying to learn more about Youtube and take steps to improve the quality of my Youtube videos as well as the overall quality of my Youtube Channel.

I've neglected to do some simple things such as include channel art, include a profile picture, add subscribe buttons to my videos and other simple things like that which will increase subscribers, make my channel look more professional and overall just to get more views and have a more put together channel.

I recently stumbled upon James Wedmore's website in which he has an article and video series titled "Boost Youtube Views: 8 Simple Tips To Increase Your Video Traffic." You can view the article by clicking that link in the title of the article and I highly recommend checking it out. Now only are these fantastic and easy to do things, but he also has video tutorials showing you step by step how to do these things.

Most of James tips can be done within a matter of minutes. I highly recommend checking out his video series, reading the article and implementing these changes to your Youtube videos and Youtube channel.

James has 8 videos in this segment for you to view, we'll show you one of them below which was my personal favorite and something I needed to work on in my videos. This tip is using custom thumbnails on your video instead of just allowing Youtube to pick a random screenshot from your video. Thumbnails and title are probably two of the most important elements in getting someone to view one of your videos so take a minute and make sure your thumbnails are enticing.

Is your Youtube Channel being Penalized for a couple Low Engagement Videos?

Many Youtubers wonder whether they should delete old videos which have performed poorly in terms of both views and viewer engagement.

This video explains the answer to this question. In short each Youtube video is treated individually. One low view or low engagement video will not drag down your other videos or your entire channel. One bad video will not penalize your entire channel in search.

Should you delete poor performing videos? Some may choose to, deleting old videos will delete any views from your channel so if you delete a video with 5,000 views, your channel as a whole will be deducted 5,000 views.

Watch this video to learn more and make a more educated decision on whether you should or should not delete old poor performing videos.
