Hi, it's Anfa from onfamuse.com and today I want to show you how to make a Evil bubbling dark gargle stuff sound in hell and the reason I picked hellm is because it has very flexible modulation possibilities using multiple LFOs and step sequencer and Envelopes so I think this is if you don't know hellm already You might want to check it out after this tutorial, okay So First thing we're gonna need a single source just one oscillator.  Now we can't hear it without modulation cross modulate it With the another sine wave Which has to be pretty low too? It should be like the best results are where did they are have different pitches like they are not tuned to the same frequency Now I'm gonna use an LFO 1LFO 1 to modulate pitches of these LFO 2 modulate them even third or so now You have some motion Want to speed up the LFOs a bit now I'm changing the way they work Hurts so we are tempo independent. I'm also gonna like Decrease a little bit of the influence it has Because this is a little bit too rapid. It's pretty nice. You can also modulate With the third poly LFO kind of the amount of modulation The second oscillator is doing on the first and because we turn down the second one on the mixer Can only hear the one the first one Now when the modulation goes too high We can hear those very high-pitched quirks coming in We don't want that because it kind of breaks the sound we're making so I'm going to decrease the modulation amount of this LFO and Back it up the basic value a little bit All right, I'm gonna change this tempo Now let's come to the filter. We're gonna use a band-bust filter a very sharp one like With the maximum resonance You can hear when I change your notes. It has this nice clicking Resonance property and that happens only because our envelope is pretty steep. It's too sharp But our Slater one modulated this way it Produces such sonic material that a very nicely comes out of this filter. So now I'm going to use the LFOs to modulate the frequency of the filler so it moves along and a Little bit of the resonance to So we have some more motion This is kind of nice, but well, it's too monotonyms on the tone is we're gonna actually decrease the LFO Modulation amount and I'm gonna use a step sequencer Can increase the number of steps to maximum and I'm gonna draw some Round looking pattern like that. I'm gonna change frequency to Hertz and We want this pretty slow I'm gonna enable the slide a bit. So it's not jumping between these values, but interpolating so it's behaving kind like a LFO That's like doing random Random patterns, but not sample and hold but sample and slide Okay, and now I'm gonna assign the steep sequencer value of a modulation to this filter envelope this filter Cut up You can see it's moving Okay, I think this is Frequency of the iteration it's not like for the whole thing. It's first for one How many steps per second With creases slide, you can see that it's jumping and we actually want this pretty fast This is kind of bubbling your app too, but this is a little bit too sharp So I'm going to dial in just a notch tiny amount of steps moving You can see the value up here when I move the fader Oh What we can do also is that the modulators can modulate themselves or other modulators So we can like use the steep sequencer to modulate the amount of the LFO I can make these LFO less like kind of it's kind of side-chaining the LFOs with the step sequencer Or we can do this with one LFO and against another And this one against this one What we want to do is get some unpredictable interesting patterns now We can use sample and glide for a poly LFO and it's gonna like create even more randomness Let's try a little bit of saturation. Let's better keep it clean Okay, I think the LFOs are too harshly Influencing the frequency of our oscillators and that creates some motion we don't desire However, let's try to tune up the frequencies Let's see. What can we get? Okay, I think we need more resonance. It's kind of bubbling. Let's try resonance all the way up Team the frequency down a little bit do is also pass it through a hi-pass filter. So Like we get rid of lowest lowest frequencies we get here We don't really want that it's creating buzzing that we don't not want Since helm doesn't feature Another filter on its own Or an EQ section we would need to do this on our own like using another plugin Try to a little bit spice up the sound With just a tiny bit of dark reverb this way increased dampening If you increase it all the way up There's no reverb whatsoever Now if you play this instrument in extremely low octaves Produces some interesting bubbling sounds and this is this isn't particularly useful in this raw form But if you compress it filter it a bit EQ it can increase We get tack and release of the envelope Increase the voices so we can have funny bubbling. All right, you get the idea Thanks for watching. I hope you learned something and subscribe if you want more Bye


I made a video a few months ago about a file manager that has been around for a very long time and I was repeatedly made fun of for that video simply because many of you don't understand why I was so excited about a file manager. Now I don't think that there's another Linux YouTuber out there that has made as many videos about file managers as I have. Brody might come close, but most of his are about terminal file managers. For me, it's all about the GUI. I'm sorry terminal for life, but in this case the GUI wins out. I'm sorry. But the point is is that I think I know file managers and that video that I made a few months ago was very enthusiastic about a certain file manager and that file manager was Crusader. Now Crusader is not for everyone. That is absolute truth. Like for the vast majority of people, they're going to be perfectly happy with Nemo or Dolphin or Nautilus or something like that. They don't need anything special when it comes to a file manager. They just need something that views files and they leave it behind. They probably don't even think twice about what file manager they're even using. That's normal people. Boring people. I should say. I shouldn't say boring people. They're just normal people. They can't help that they're boring. The point is, is that I'm obsessive about my file manager and I tend to switch a lot or at least I did.  Crusader is amazing. It is my favorite app on Linux. Now I know that is a bold claim because I like Vim a lot. But for me, my favorite application on Linux is the one application that I would be kind of devastated without is Crusader. Now let me talk about why. So this is my install of Crusader. Now there's nothing here really that can't be done in other file managers. That's true. The dual pane nature of Crusader is not unique. A lot of file managers will have dual pane functionality. A lot of them are one time use only. So you have to open up the file manager, choose dual pane, use whatever you want. Then when you close it, it comes back single pane again. That's not really for me. I want dual pane all the time.  Those are both excellent file managers. But Crusader takes it a little bit further and it allows you to have different views on different tabs in different panes. So for example, in this one here, I have the tree view along with the selected folder view, which is just the basic thing, right? And then in this tab here, I have the image preview in a certain place so that when I click on something else, it shows me the image preview. And I can do this for every single tab. That's really cool, right? And it's not something that is really available in any other file manager except for probably Dolphin, which is basically the little brother of Crusader, I should say. So that's one thing that I really like. Another thing that I like is that the tabs are on the bottom. No, not a big deal. I could be perfectly happy with the tabs on the top. But I've gotten so used to them being down there. It just makes me happy that they're down there. It's silly. I know this whole video is silly. And my obsession with this application is over the top for sure, but I like it. Now the biggest feature that I adore the most in Crusader is that if I close this and then reopen it, it remembers where I was. Now that's not something that is universal across file managers. I really wish it was, and I think it really should be. I understand that most people just use their file managers and then go away and can continue on with their day. But for me, I always have this thing open. And I tend to have the same tabs open all the time. So there are certain ones here that are just always open. So on the left-hand side, I always have the thing that I'm editing for the channel on this side. So in this case, I just edited the podcast. Or if I happen to be ahead on videos, all my videos and stuff are in tabs on this side. And I want those things to stay there. If for whatever reason I shut my computer down, which I've been doing more often for energy reasons, I don't want those tabs to go away. On this side, on the right-hand side, I always have the miscellaneous tabs. But also there's a few that always are kind of mainstays. So the video folder here where all of my videos are recorded into. The socials tab, which has all of the little things that come up along the bottom of all my videos, that's here all the time. The logos directory where I've collected, I don't know, a couple hundred different logos for the thumbnails that I create and so on and so forth. I mean, it just goes on and on. Those are the tabs that are most always there. And when I close them, I don't want to have to open it back up and reopen every single one of those tabs. Because I'm just going to open those tabs again in the same spot. Not only that, but if I had to do that every time, I'd have to select the view. So I'd have to go down here, click this little arrow. And then I have the tree view. If I wanted the image preview, I'd have to click on this one here. And then if I wanted to have it at the top, I'd have to invert the view so that it appeared at the top, it'd be a pain in the butt. I would not want to have to do that every single time I opened up the file manager. The only other file manager I know that remembers position like this, at least that is still being actively developed, is Dolphin. Again, Crusader's little brother. So if it was just all that, I would still be enamored with Crusader. Like just those things, the tabs along the bottom remembering position, the neat way it does different views per tab, the dual pane mode, I would be happy with just that. But Crusader does way more. So another thing it does is it allows you to move things around in interesting ways. So if for whatever reason, this layout didn't suit me anymore and I wanted to switch them around, it's quite easy to do. So I can just swap sides. And that's kind of cool. Again, not something that I've ever seen a file manager do. Again, not a big deal, but it's just something that's kind of neat. Another thing that'll allow you, that you can do is if you don't like the horizontal mode of this, you can switch to the vertical mode. Now, I don't personally care for this. It's too squished for me. But if this is something that you like, you could do it. Then there's this tool here. So based on the tabs that you have open in focused mode, so the ones that are actually in front of you, you can open up this synchronizer thing. And what this will do is that is exactly what it sounds like. It will take two directories and synchronize them. So think of sync thing. So there's this application called sync thing where you can set up two folders on different machines, and it will always look for differences and it will sync them so that they're always exactly the same. This is exactly like that. Only it's not automated. It's something that you have to run on your own. And the cool thing about this for me is that I do all of my recording and all of my storage for the videos that I'm working on on a 500 gigabyte SSD, all of my videos and stuff from this channel, the podcast, everything is on that SSD. As you might imagine, that space runs out quick. So once I've gotten to the point where I need to transfer stuff off from there, I use this tool here to transfer stuff from the SSD to a fuller on a bigger hard drive. But I don't always want to keep different directories for whatever. I want to combine them so that they're always kind of in sync. But then and then delete the ones off from the SSD. And that this tool can do that as well. So once it's done transferring stuff, it can then delete the ones off from one side or the other. Now, I will admit that it is very complicated and it's definitely not for everybody because it takes a little bit of getting used to.  Now, I know that there are other tools out there that do this. So this is not unique to Crusader, but it's built in, right? And that's cool. Now, I could talk for many, many more minutes about Crusader and all of its features. It has, if you have the dependencies installed, it has a built in meld slash diff mode. So you can compare two files by content. That's really cool. It has a built in packer so it can either zip things or unzip things, create tar balls, that kind of thing. It can mount your drives, obviously, which is obviously typical for a file manager. It can mount network drives, which is also really cool. Also fairly typical for a file manager, but it's a little bit more robust. And it can handle SSH connections, FTP connections and more. So what's wrong with Crusader? What are the things that I use about this that kind of bother me? So the one thing that had took me a long time to get used to is the lack of single click. Now, this is a big debate in the Linux community, whether or not selecting something with one click and opening it with that same click is the way to go or double clicking is the way to go. Some people are on one side, some people are on the other side. It doesn't really matter which one for me personally. For the longest time, I was on the click to select and open. So just a single click behavior on all of my file managers. That's the way I went. And that's the default in KD for the longest time, right? But getting that to work in Crusader is kind of hard. If you don't have plasma installed and the first time I used Crusader, I didn't have plasma installed. And the reason why that's hard to do is because KD moved all of the choices for that option out of the settings panels and into the actual KDE settings panel. So if you don't have that installed, you can't change it. I've gotten used to now double clicking to select. But it was one of those things that I had to get used to. The other big problem here is that this requires a lot of dependencies. Like it's very much a KDE application in that regard. It has a ton of dependencies. Now, the cool thing about it is that they're not all automatically downloaded. So for example, you don't get the diff functionality. You don't get a lot of functionality for unzipping certain files. You have to add those in yourself. If you don't need them, you don't need to install them. That's kind of cool. When you first open up Crusader for the first time, it'll tell you the things that you have support for with the things you have installed. And then it'll also give you the application you need to install in order to enable that functionality. The only downside is, is that one of the dependencies that it doesn't install for you is the ability to do image previews. You can't have any image previews out of the box. You have to install a dependency called KIO extras KIO dash extras in order to get image previews like this here. And that bothered me for the longest time. Now I'm used to it, but it's again, one of those things that you kind of don't know about because weirdly it lists all of these dependencies that you need in order to get certain functionality. But the image preview one is not listed. I had to go into an old Linux Mint forum to find out the answer for that. So that was a big deal and kind of pissed me off for a long while. If I hadn't been able to enable that, Crusader would not have been my file manager for very long because image previews is very important. So other than those two things, there's really not anything that I don't like about Crusader. And I know what everybody's thinking. You just made a 15 minute video on a file manager. Not only have you made a 15 minute video on a file manager, but this is the second video you've made on this file manager. Matt, you have a problem and that's true. Like that is definitely a problem that I'm so seem to seemingly obsessed with this file manager, but it is so good. Now, like I said at the beginning, Crusader is not for everybody. The huge amount of dependencies is going to turn a lot of people off. And there's nothing that you can really do about that. If that's something that bothers you, you're never going to like Crusader. But if you can get past that and you need this type of functionality, like if you need the dual pane stuff that's always there, if you need the remember position functionality, there's nothing better than this. I think it's better than Dolphin simply because it works better outside of KDE. Like it really does. I've noticed that for whatever reason, Dolphin sometimes just doesn't appear when you launch it in a window manager.  The application never shows up. It's really weird. I don't know what that's going on there, but I've never had that problem with Crusader. Also, there's a ton more features here than there is in Dolphin. And if you like a lot of features like I do, this is for you. So so if you have comments on Crusader, you can leave those in the comment section below. If you have tips on how I could get over my obsession with file managers, you can not leave those comments because I'm never going to get over my obsession with file managers. It's just it's not a problem for me. I'm happy with what that is. OK. So you can follow me on Twitter at the next cast. You can support me on Patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast.

Okay, so today we're going to be talking about credential representation with SSI. My name is Jorgejo. I work with the Kiva protocol team. I'm also a maintainer of the Ares Max project. We're going to be discussing about, you know, like why we need to have credential representation for SSI, a solution to have a basic universal approach to do this, so that we start like working on this every time we start a mobile agent. So let's jump right right in. This is an example of the physical cards that we are used to use. I'm sure we all have like a few instances of this. They have like a couple of pros, you know, they're like easy to share on the physical realm. It helps create a consistency to the use of brands. It has some cons. They're like, you know, easier to falsify than if we're using like a sovereign, but we already know that. The question is, you know, every time we jump to have a mobile agent, how can we have something like easy to use like right away? Something like this, right? This is a wallet that I growed last summer. You see, like each credential has its own branding. We don't have that easy to use. And especially like, we don't have a way to tell another agent, hey, I want you to render this credential that I just give you in a certain way. So it doesn't really feel like a real like digital supply in terms of branding to the physical thing. I want to propose a solution for that using SVG because SVG is portable. It's already easy to stabilize. It's also human readable. If you are like a designer and engineer, it's easy for you to play with with a design. And it's already backed by a lot of tools. All of the agents that you can and all of the runtries that you can think that you want to to deploy a already support SVG. How are we planning to do this? Let me show you an example here. This is like an example of an SVG, a lot of like a design information like colors you can see my name here. If we change this and we have a substitution strings, you can see how can we start like a having some sort of like common format that is going to be rendered on demand in our own wallet or someone else's wallet app. Here's like a more like a complete example. This is how something that a designer will do and engineer will kind of like substitute that text.  And if we go back to that to that wallet that I mentioned before, you see, it just fits right, right. So now the question is, you know, like, what if you don't have time to do the branding, right? Like, like, is there something that could be a universal representation, even if you don't have design resources? Let's go ahead and define how that what characteristics that that thing may expose. Once I have something that is like industry-wide that anyone can support by default is ready to use. So you don't have to worry about like writing support for that. It will be already provided for you. It will be your support accessible accessibility from the very beginning. If someone has any disability, you know, like this should like a render in a way that you could like use the operating system resources there. And that has only one option for branding. Like if you want to add that, you should probably create a custom representation. And the main benefit of this is just reduce the time where I spend in every time we create a credential. We try to solve a use case. And we're going to do this from scratch. This is like a basic example of what we're thinking here. You know, like something that can tell you where where the credential was issued, the amount of field it has, and it shows a selection of these of those fields. Now, how do we plan to like to bring this to the community? We want to follow a library first approach, meaning that we want the representation to be like a field that is easy to transfer as part of a connection that is easy to fetch from a centralized authority. If we go that way, and more important, we want it to be like very light in the code. Like for example, here, this is like on the example of a summary map. This is what's one one component that has the credential property and a template property. And you can see here that, you know, like we can actually support a web app even even for like a verification as well. So there are also far on the next step. So before I jump to comment like what to find this on GitHub, let me tell you a little bit about kind of like how this became a thing. So somewhere in 2020, we are here, we're implementing our first mobile agents, like we stumble upon this, like we were given a lot of design with several credentials and we're like, okay, you know, the best way to do this to create something more like a format. Then we hosted a panel in IW and we confirmed a basic of use cases. We kind of like a pinpoint like some ideas about how to approach, like kind of like start with distribution of this for a mobile agent support. The result of that is the presentation today. One week from now, we're going to be publishing the first Nougat package for this and that's going to be followed with a React Native package. And I mentioned here the projects that we're going to be using to kind of like demo this. The first one is the Aries Max projects. The second one is the Bifol agent. It's based on React Native. So I cannot hear any of the attendees. Now, I think that's by design. If you go to this URL, you're going to see kind of like a placeholder reading me. If you want to be part of using this from the very beginning, I would love to tag to you. If you could create an issue and drop your contact or like, you know, like showing like some problems that you have around this, I will be reaching out to you soon. So thank you for that. So if we have a moderator there that can provide some context, like how do we jump to the Q&A? Okay. So usually one of the questions that I get here is how to, yeah, the first question that I got on IW here was how to have, I mean, like how to share this definition among different agents. I think right now the main use case is to provide for the case of, you know, a specific use case that people need to deal with their own credentials, right? That's something that we have covered with this example that we show the next step would be to discuss with a few people in the community, like the best way to do this in a way that it also remains true to the principles of SSI. Like for example, we have thought about like kind of like a decentralized certification authority where people like propose, kind of like certify. This is like the default design for this specific type of credential. And then each agent will have some sort of logic to fetch this. And of course, if you don't have a specific, I mean, let's let's say that you can reach that definition, you could always rely. Yeah, yes. So Francesco does the library add up to different credential schema. So you can think of the, okay, yeah. So, so you can, so you can think of this process, right? As, as basically merging an SBG with the metadata of a credential with that info. So it's going to adapt to, you know, like to whatever credential you have there. Create an interactive card. I think this is, this is pretty interesting, especially for the default representation. Like if you saw kind of like that default design, let me, let me show it here again. Yeah, like you can see here that we don't have like that much space to show more than three fields. This is, this is something that we could definitely tackle with like, also a default interaction there, especially on, if you're like on the phone, if you could just like scroll like some sort of a gesture there, the way I see this happening is just provide a couple of kind of like access point that the developer of the mobile agent can expose. Like for example, let's say that you are just implementing a very fire kiosk, right? People are not going to be touching your screen, but you can like trigger that kind of, that a carousel effect with the credential. So yeah. Yeah, and also down here regarding the interactive card, the idea of this is kind of like create a kind of like the beginning of, of reducing for good the forking of like this, this process of like creating like new credentials UI, just have something that people can kind of like play with that share back to the community. And then we could just kind of like pre-apply this process of like, oh, let's find like the good ideas, put it in a way that is easy to mix and match and then rinse and repeat this. My, my guessing is that Elizabeth in my first experience building a wallet, it took me like a whole week to set this up in a way that was stable. So I'm guessing like if we could remove that time from every SSI project, that would be a huge boost in productivity. Another, another question that I get asked here is about the accessibility. I think this is, this is a, this is where it's nice that you're having kind of like a centralized package, because then we could like a kind of like a use all the power of the community to provide a very good support. So when you drop your, the component in an Android, right, is, it's just, it's just going to render with the necessary notations there. And then once we have like a one implementation, right, it's easy to just, to copy that and just worry about like your kind of like the specific use case of the new platform. Any other questions? Oh, yeah, yeah. So the library, like the first Nougat library is going to be released next Monday. And then I'm going to be working on the, on the React native package, because this is like a SVG in between those. It's likely we will get a something in for HTML, like a, like a React component. Yes, Paul says, so Paul is asking, should cool a universal rendering be standardized in the context of areas, etc. Yes. I think we should, I think we could do it. I think this is like the first step to that, like show the example on them, you know, make sure that we standardize this in the spirit of SSI. We don't want to kind of like over centralize this to help our this, our decentralized use cases. But yeah. Yacomo is asking how to ensure the SVG should be rectangles. Well, I think the, the design of the SVG is responsibility of the, of the person implementing the credential. It should be the self, so their self interest that this is going to render, to render well, because this is a thought about a card, right? We should, we likely are going to have some sort of like a basic checkings when you are like in developer mode, so that you could see a, like, let's say, for example, if the final SVG doesn't satisfy the minimum size. Yes. Yeah. So, so, so for example, let's say that the final, that the final SVG is pretty small, right? That's something that we want to show a warning in developer time, because, you know, if you want to do a custom representation, that is more like a little space. This is just like for the listing. This is the, the idea for this is to make it easy for you to have the equivalent of a physical card. Now, Paul Wenzel is asking, you already consider proof request renderings too? Yes. Actually, I had two colleagues that a couple of hours ago, they, they demo a framework that we have for creating like a resource for SSI for both issuing and verifying. And they are going to be the clients of the HTML version of this. Yeah. Mendi woman is asking, what representation will be defined? Credential definition, issue credential metadata, or predefined in the mobile wallet app? Yeah. Excellent question. So the idea is that you are going to, at the same time that you are like defining the credential definition, right? For the blockchain, you will, you will do the, the SVG and package this with more metadata for the, for the, for the, for the rendering component to render that. The idea right now is to just worry about the use case of like, you are developing your own mobile wallet to, to support the case of like, I have a wallet, I know how to represent this wallet and sending this, for example, the verifier, what comes to mind is using the same channels of areas to send a custom message and kind of like provide some info and some info to the, to the, to the receiving agent. And then that agent can decide how to do it. Now, the key here is kind of like support, right? Like how to, how to come, how to provide this in a way that, that we could expect that a lot of people are going to support this. That, this is what is not clear yet. So if you have ideas about how to, how to handle this, please reach out to me in the GitHub repo. Let me post that again if people are just joining in. Yeah. So also maybe when we release this on Monday, you're going to see this like working on the Aries Max source code. So you will see an example of this on the, on a wallet, on a wallet app. So another question that I have here that I have been asked before is how to deal with different screen sizes. Let's say that you are in a tablet. So right now, I think we have a good solution for the, for something that looks exactly like a card. I will wait for more feedback to the community to, to suggest something to the contrary. But I think that whoever, the idea of this is kind of like a standardize something that, that is like a common problem that we have. If you have something specific, it may be that we just create a kind of like a specific component to support, to support that use case, but it's, but it's not going to be, to be receiving kind of like this, like a standardized attention. So for example, it won't, it won't give you accessibility a feature, but you will have to implement that. Any other, any other questions? Bendy is asking if there is a way to personalize representation from creation claims called having a conditional rendering based on claim value. I haven't, I haven't thought of that. I think the, the conditional stuff seems kind of tricky because we're like building on top of things that are supposed to be immutable, right?  I think like in this specific use case, I don't see why not you could, you could I receive this as part of like a hook or something like that.  Yeah, like, for example, one way to see this actually is to have a, it's, it's kind of like having some sort of like a, the responsive approach and we just, the conditional is like right on top versus in the code. I don't think it's a good idea to come, to add, to turn the SVG template into like a Borneo man program. I think, I think that could add like more, more problems than what it's of. Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Well, if there is a moderator here, please, please advance like the best, the best way to to have the presentation. I want to make sure we have time for the next person. Oh, yeah. So Paul wants to ask, are you working for Trinsic? No, I, I work with the Kiva protocol team. I do, I do know the, the Trinsic team.  So yeah, I recommend them for that. Thank you. Thank you, Mac. Yeah, I think Paul, like to give you like a more, like, more on my, on my thought, on your question, I think if, if you saw the presentation from my colleagues, Michelle and Nate Sula yesterday, we have a wizard maker for to create SSI flows using HTML and React components. You could use that with Trinsic and these to provide basically a web flow for verifications and just like render more than the raw data of the presentation. You can provide a representation there. So if, if, if you're like actively using Trinsic, we really want to talk to you. Other questions? Okay. Let's wrap it up with four minutes to the finish line. It was very nice talking to all of you. And I hope to, to connect with you after be, I give hope. Take care.


What is up, you guys? Welcome back to the channel. Welcome to the next decade. Welcome to 2020. Happy freaking new year. I hope you guys are well. I hope you guys are blessed and I hope you guys are focused for this next year. This next decade, I hope you're focused and have everything you can possibly have to really succeed beyond your wildest dreams in this next year. What I wanted to cover real quick, you guys, was basically how I got my first 1000 YouTube subscribers and how you can do the same exact thing. I for sure didn't do anything fancy. I for sure did not do anything special. If anything, in 2019, I just started being more consistent. That's all it was is I started being more consistent. I started adding a few more things to my to my uploading the tags, for example, the description. I downloaded a couple of different plugins that kind of gave me some good insight and good tips, but to tell you the truth, I didn't I didn't really follow them. And I don't really follow them. Maybe I should. Maybe maybe my channel would be 10 times further than where it is now. If I did pay attention to more of the analytics, but I just knew at the end of the day, it was going to be all about content. The person that could put out the most content normally wins. And that's kind of how I approached my YouTube in 2019. And kind of just took it to the next level because it started in 2017. It all started in in July, June or July in 2017. We'll look at the numbers right now, but it happened in in the middle of 2017 when I just started putting up videos. Nothing special, simple videos shot for my cell phone. I wasn't doing tutorials really like this. In fact, I think I started to but it really kind of started a lot of this came from my cell phone and just doing blogs and talking about business, but nothing fancy at all. At all at all. And that's kind of where it started. And as I started to kind of get some type of little, little tiny momentum, I started taking it a little bit more seriously. And then as I started looking at other YouTube channels and what my mentors were doing and how they were building one. And then I started looking at incomes and I'm like, damn, dude, I can, if all I got to do is be more consistent and put up content via video on stuff that I'm already doing, then that shouldn't be hard. And all of 2018 went by when I'm just kind of still playing around with it. And it wasn't until 2019 when I really took it seriously and I really started putting up more content and staying focused on my niche and staying focused on the actual topics that I was talking about. And that's when I started to really get some momentum. That's when I broke the 1000 mark as far as subscribers. And then that's when I got monetized and getting monetized means you can start making money from your channel. So it wasn't until 2019 when I when I hit 1000 subscribers and then I surpassed that and then I became monetized and started seeing some little YouTube money. That's when I got super fired up and I'm like, dude, this can't be that hard. And that's what I'm here to kind of tell you guys today. It's not, it's not hard at all. If you're building a business, you have a topic to talk about. And even if you're not really building a business, whatever your passion is. Yeah, forget about even building a business. For those of you that just have a passion and just have some type of knowledge or you have some type of skill, or you have some type of talent. Put it up. True story with regarding my neighbor. I have a neighbor, 18 years old, super talented when it comes to the guitar. Kevan shout out to my buddy Kevan.  I'm like, dude, you need to start putting that on YouTube bottom line. And with all that content, you'll have you'll be able to build a subscriber base super, super fast. And you'll start seeing us an extra income off from at all. And he was blown away and I still believe he doesn't believe what I'm saying. But I'm going to really put things in perspective and really show you how simple it really can be and what fires me up is the extra income to talk about what you're already talking about. Or to talk about what you're already fired up about and simply park it over here versus all these other social media platforms. I'm telling you, man, once that check does start depositing, you'll get fired up too. And so what I'm going to really do is kind of keep it simple and keep it basic and kind of just show you what started happening on my channel. Where my subscribers really started increasing and it didn't increase by much. I'm not even a huge YouTuber at all right now. My money is not even big at all. But I'm telling you, it's growing. It is growing. And I just truly believe as I spoke about on previous videos, a few hundred a month will change anyone's life. I don't care who you are. It just will. And so I'm going to kind of just give you my insights and kind of give you some tips and strategies on what you can do in 2020 to start building a YouTube channel. Because that's where it begins. It begins by, first of all, it begins by wanting to do it. You got to want to do it. Secondly, you got to be consistent with it. And I'll tell you what exactly consistent means. You got to have patience and you got to really be in it to win it. Because on your way to 1000 subscribers, you're going to have to put out a ton of videos like a ton, a ton. And maybe not hundreds, but for sure, at least a couple hundred. Like right now I'm a little over 300. Actually, let's look at it right now. I think I'm at like 360 something as far as total videos that I've done since day one. Let's see. I think I'm at 360 something. And in this new format of YouTube, like this is how YouTube looks now. This is the new one. I always go to Creator Studio Classic. I like looking at the old school way. Now, now I know I'm going to have to get used to the new one. But until they remove this Creator Studio Classic here at the bottom left, I'm going to keep using this because it just it's it's easier for me to navigate. And it shows it right there. Boom. Videos 368. So I literally had up, I think I had up, I think I had up over 300. I think that's the thing, man, you got to be in it to win it. Like, I think I put up over 300 videos before I even hit 1000 subscribers. So it's like, who in their right mind would even do that? Like what the hell?  To keep putting a video, keep putting a video, keep putting a video when you ain't getting no money from it and you're getting like seven people to view your videos.  Don't ask me. I don't know how I did it. I don't know why I did it. It's not like I, I had this dream of building a YouTube income because I didn't. I'm not a YouTuber.  And so that's why now going into 2020 I am fired up like I'm here to take it to 100,000 subscribers. That is my goal in 2020 is to take it from where I'm at, which is a small amount, a little over 1400. So depending on when you're watching this video, man, right now January 1st, 2020, I'm at like 14, 14 freaking. Let's go back to it. I'm at like 1460 as far as subscribers. Let's look at it again. 1460 not even 100,000 views yet. Okay. So again, you got to get to 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. So as you go into your analytics, you can look at how many hours you can look at how many minutes and you just do the math on how many hours you need 4000 hours of your content being watched and 1000 subscribers. So I hit that towards the middle of 2019. And then that's when I started getting fired up, because I was then I was now monetized and then and then what you have to do is break the $100 threshold. They don't pay out the commission unless you hit at least $100 for the month in ad revenue. And so there was one month and I'm going to show you there was one month where I did not reach $100. The following month I did and it paid out the previous month and that month. So I got that first check, which was over, which was almost 300 bucks. And that's what fired me up.  Like, are you kidding me? That's what fired me up. That was in November of 2019. And then I got another check in December of 2019 and it was a little bigger. And then now I'm about to get another check this month, which is a little bigger. And so that's what's so crazy about this man is that I'm getting paid on videos that I made literally a year ago, two years ago, two and a half years ago, I'm getting paid out on these videos. And and only God knows how long it's going to continue like I'm going to continue to rock with it. I'm going to keep continue to roll with it into the wheels fall off. Because as I keep mentioning, man, when it comes to content and I got this from Gary Vaynerchuk, shout out to Gary V, when it comes to content. Don't try to create. None of us are really creators. Like we're not creators. Some of you guys are creative people, but most people that I know they're not creative. I'm for sure, not a creative type of person. What I would, what I would always learn from Gary V and what I picked up from Gary V is he would always preach. Forget about trying to create because when you try to create, it takes you forever to try to create. It takes you forever to think about different creative ideas.  That right moment is not going to happen. What Gary V would always talk about is you need to document simply document what you're doing document your day document your life document your business document document what you're what you're currently doing and put that out as content. That's the biggest thing that Gary V continues to talk about is you have to document. And so that's what I really started doing from day one is I started documenting my business like what I was thinking what I was doing. And then and then as I started getting into landing pages and more Facebook advertising, then I started documenting that and started started doing tutorials on that. And it doesn't matter the topic it really doesn't.   So you can't talk about dancing on one video. And then the next video you're teaching people how to bake cookies and then the next video you're teaching people how to run fast. And then the next video, you're teaching people how to do yoga. You can't have that kind of channel. What I'm what I'm saying is you got to find your passion find your passion find what fires you up whether it's your personal stuff and you just love doing yoga, but you have a completely different business and life. And you want and you're fired up about yoga start doing videos on yoga and upload nose, or if it's like my neighbor, my neighbor literally 18 years old fired up he works at a car wash. He's a full time college student, but he just happens to be good at the guitar. And that's what he's putting content out on right and I'm just telling them I'm saying hey man forget about putting them on all these other platforms, put them on YouTube. So you can start building a subscriber base and start getting paid right so whether you're a business owner or, or just fired up on something, find out what that fired up is find out what that passion is and start documenting and putting content up around that and start putting yourself an audience around that interest and that niche. That's how you're going to do it. And so as I started narrowing mine in in in, well actually I truly believe mine has always been narrowed in it's always been about entrepreneurship, online entrepreneurship building some type of business. That's what I what I started with in 2017 and that's what I continue to talk about.  So that right there I truly believe because I narrowed it in and really stayed on on topic and on focus topic topics of social media marketing online entrepreneurship and everything that goes goes on, you know around that.  We know exactly who the audience is for him. So subscribers started coming my way, people started, you know, engaging in my content, and my numbers started to increase from, you know, from from from 40 to 60 to 300 subscribers to 700 to 900. Now today at the at the filming of this video I'm at 1460, which is still nothing.   But you love freaking landscaping, and you happen to be very, very good at it.  And that's your passion. That's what I'm talking about man, you don't have to build a business around it. You're fired up on and start doing videos on that. Teach people what you got going on. If you're a badass landscaper, other people want to be badass as well. You can start documenting and start doing little tutorials and start sharing your knowledge on what you're doing to be badass. And I'm telling you man your subscriber count will start to grow. YouTube will start to form YouTube will start sending you money. I'm telling you man and and and and and and and I don't know man I'm lost for words to tell you the truth because you help I hope you guys can really tell how fired up I am on this stuff. Because I know social media and I know social media marketing and I know what everyone's doing they're throwing spaghetti against the wall on all these different platforms to see what sticks and I'm telling you man. It's going to take you a long as time to see stuff stick. In the meantime, you might as well build something you might as well build a channel and eventually monetize it. That's all I'm saying man. So not only will you be able to monetize it by YouTube ad revenue and YouTube ad money. All the links in the description you can lead people to a landing page you can lead people to your Shopify store you can lead people to your Amazon product whatever the hell outs you got going on around what you're trying to do. If you're trying to build a business around around it right you can lead people with the links in your in your description look at everybody anyone that has a decent YouTube following look in the description. Chances are they're getting you to buy something they're probably an affiliate somewhere they're probably you know selling some random product on Shopify, and they're just getting started but the fact is that it started with the YouTube channel. And now they're able to put different links in the description to also profit even more. So, but just the YouTube ad money alone I'm telling you man. It is a journey, it is going to take some upfront work, but I know for a fact, I know for a fact you guys can do it and I know for a fact it can change your finances in 2020. So I'm going to show you some basic numbers man, because to tell you to tell you the truth, I still don't know how to work all the analytics with with YouTube I just don't man. Videos are polished. None of them are highly edited at all.  It's like, but I'm seeing this money start to come in.  I know you're knowledgeable about something. It may not be your daytime business. It may not be your daytime job, but I'm telling you, you have a hobby, you have a passion. And this is where you want to start putting it up. I'm telling you man. Okay, so let me show you some simple, simple numbers. Let's look at the analytics of where I was at in 2017. This right here, this is the first video that I put up. It was June 18. And it was a video of me interviewing my mom. It was two minutes and 32 seconds. It ain't nothing. The next video July look at that man. I go from June 18 to not putting up another video into until July, July 10. So you can already tell in 2017. Let's look at the next video. The next video from July 10 to August 7. That was my next video. Now, now after this first one of my son and my mom, right here in July of 2017, this is when I start getting fired up because June, July, August, September, it was in September, July, August, September. So in July of 2017 is when I start learning about social media marketing and how I can start building my own agency. And I start talking about it. Okay. August, I'm talking about it. But look at the gap in the date. I didn't put out another video until August 7. August 8 is just a random video two minutes and 39 seconds of me talking to my son. And then the next video doesn't go up until the 15th. And I'm talking about procrastination next video August 18 three days later. Another one.    And then the 25th and then not another one until September 7. And then the short videos that I was filming on my cell phone talking about business right talking about where I was that mentally and and what I was doing talking about clients. Because at that time I had just started my social media agency actually I started in 2016. I started in 2016 but in 2016 I was selling website services. It was the same niche but I was selling them website design right and that started in 2016 December of 2016 I remember closing my first client December of 2016. But it was in September of 2017 when I started offering them social media marketing services and Facebook advertising that was in September of 2017 and even I dropped my first video. Me closing a client let me see just yet right here right here just launched right here September 26. The title is just launched my social media agency that is a video that is a video you guys September 26 2017 of me closing my first client. I have the credit card I'm processing the credit card on that on that video you I'm literally doing a walkthrough of me processing the credit card and here's what's so funny. I'm going to keep it real man. This is honest to God truth. If you watch that video you're going to think that I'm freaking which I am processing the credit card but you're going to think that it's all fine and dandy. I line I'm keeping it real with you guys. I got my first client pulled their credit card to do my to do social media marketing services and Facebook advertising under my new company name right. I had just launched mine September 26 I get the first client I'm recording a video on processing the credit card and the damn credit card declines but you can tell that on the video but I'm going to keep it real with you now because it's freaking hilarious. That credit card declined I'll never forget that that was my first credit card and it declined it declined now it ended up approving a couple days later the client had to go and deposit some damn money. But it declined on that freaking video and it looks like I'm fired up which I am with the damn credit card declines and then I don't do another one until September 30. I'm just interviewing my son talking about a book and then the next one doesn't go out till October 9. So all of September you guys look here are the numbers from June when I dropped that first video to December 2017. I close out that year which is only six months. That's when I started my YouTube channel. I close out that year with 41 subscribers.  And all of the videos were trash all of them. Now it was I for sure started doing like this one screen share. Actually that's not even a screen share that's filmed on my damn cell phone. These are all cell phone. These are all cell phone. All cell phone.  Let me see. I didn't start doing screen share. So now we're into into 2018. Here's 2017 cell phone video cell phone video cell phone video. Look at that all into 2017 October November November December all cell phone. I'm just all over the place. I'm talking about business right so I'm staying somewhat on topic but they're all on my cell phone and that's when I first got my office here in San Diego.  I just realized that an office was not necessary at all. I am literally building a laptop business. I'm building a laptop lifestyle type of business.  But but that that all started in 2017. And that that's where you see me in this office right here and then for the next year into year and a half I'm doing videos from my office. But but mainly on cell phone on cell phone all this into 2018 here goes January so now let's look at 2018. Let's look at the numbers, the analytics for 2018. I go into 2018. Here's January 1, 2018. Now let's go all the way to the end of the year 31st, the 18th. Okay, so now all of 2018. I'm still putting up videos. I got 540 subscribers, a full year and a half has gone by a man a full year and a half. 12 months plus the six months. And I got 400 and I got 540 subscribers.  Now am I starting to get fired up at this point yeah for sure I'm I got fired up when I first when I hit 50 subscribers when I hit 100 subscribers 300 subscribers I was getting fired up I'm like holy shit people are actually really listening to me.  I'm still doing videos on my cell phone the majority of my videos were on my cell phone, and I'm going to keep it real. I got to get a cell phone it to this day I still don't even I don't even have an iPhone and iPhone is my dream phone, but I just can't for I still can't get the nerve to drop a G on it. And it but I am 2020 I'm definitely coming with it I'm going to go get a damn cell phone here soon, but I at this point I still don't to this day.   Again, kind of all over the place right now now I'm kind of all over the place. And I just started putting a lot of videos on motivation but here's the fifth, here's the ninth, here's the 15th, right, and then the 18th 22nd. And then and then look I go from May 22 to June 8 before I drop another video and it's a video on my cell phone another video on my cell phone. I'm acting crazy at all. And then so that's all a 2018. And I'm at, I'm at either 625 or I'm at 540. Actually, you know what, no, I got up to. Here's what it is it's 6665 or 625 minus the 85 that's what it is and that's how you get 540. 625 85 625 625 minus 85. There's the 540.  I'm not going to keep everyone right not going to keep everyone happy, but it is what it is get used to that part that's not I mean that's that's that's that's normal. People will start to build email list people will unsubscribe from your damn email list right shit don't matter who you are the best of the best people unsubscribe every day. And so that comes with the territory so that's I don't care about that at all. Got up to 625, but then lost 85 and that's how I ended up the year at 540. Okay, and then it wasn't until 2019. It wasn't until 2019 but let's take 2019 slow, because I think that's super important as well let's go into 2019. Let's go into. Let's start with January 1. And let's just take a look at the first six months of 20 of 2019. So, let's go to June 1. So, January 19 to June 19. Let's look at how many subscribers I had then. Look at that dude. Look at that. Actually, well that's that's actually you know I take that back I take the back let's go back. I needed to do it from the beginning. So, let's take this back to the today one June. Let's go June 27 June 1, 2017 to June 2019 look at this man perfect freaking number look at this man look at this. Two years. It took me two years to freaking years. I hit 1051, and then I lose 159. So, in two years, 892, I did not even have 1000 subscribers, I did not even become monetized.  See the thing is man, is that I didn't start learning YouTube really until 2019 to really put things in perspective not to really you know freaking sugar coated but but that's the truth.  I still don't really. I know a little bit I know how I cracked 1000 I know I know exactly how the momentum started happening and that's what I'm going to share with you guys, but I'm showing you guys these numbers. Because it is hard work it did take the time it did take the time, but I'm telling you man. This is not a full time income to begin with anyways I'm telling you that you have some extra time within your day no matter how busy you think you are, you have some extra time. Nowadays where we could just pull out our freaking cell phone.  And so I'm telling you, if I can do that. And it took me two damn years when I know you guys can do it this year what I'm going to show you right now is simple stuff what I'm going to show you what took me two years.  This year alone if you take me seriously if you take this word, and if you take this advice, seriously, you guys can freaking 10x my number, but look at that dude, look at that two years man two years. And I didn't even crack the 1000 a legit 1000. I got there and then I lost them. 892 is what I finished that. Okay.  We take it up. Let's see. Let's see I did up cracking 1000 comfortably. And then and then getting monetized because the same time I actually know what when I did hit 1000 subscribers. I didn't quite have 4000 watch hours yet. So that's what kind of held me back a little bit is that I had the 1000 subscribers they stuck right. But I didn't have the watch time. And so that's what you have to have as well you have to have those watch hours you have to have 4000 watch hours. And then you're monetized right so I'm going to show you all that but look, June 2019. Let's go July 2019. Let's see if I hit at the following month. Let's go. Let's go June let's go July. So July 1 let's hit apply. That's my bad. 942 I still don't have it. I still don't have it. Let's freakin see. Let's look at this dude. Look at this July August. Actually my bad. Let's go to August August 1. Look at this man. This ain't that long ago you guys this ain't that long ago. I finally get it. I finally hit 1000 I close out that time period with 1000 and 21. So now I hit the 1000 subscriber threshold but I still didn't have the watch hours at that time. I didn't have the watch hours until I want to say. Let's say September October. Yeah until September until actually yeah it was in September because I ended up getting. It wasn't a full deposit because I didn't have $100 thrush I didn't meet the $100 threshold in order for you to get a paid a monthly paycheck. You have to hit $100 for the month right as I mentioned but I didn't have $100 but I know but there was like 40 bucks there so I know I hit the 4000 watch hours September. It was in September. So in September. Let's hit apply in September 1066 is where I was at when I ended up hitting 4000 watch hours as well. Look how long that took me you guys look how long that took me and you hear me over here talking about freaking an extra 300 a month it's like who in the right mind would even do that that math doesn't even make sense I'm going to keep it real. Right, like it's like who like you break that down it's like what am I making three cents an hour. You know what I mean like if you really put things in perspective and do the actual math but I'm but I'm over here fired up. Right, how does that even make sense. It makes sense to me because I understand residual income. I understand putting up a video one time and then being able to get paid on it over and over and over again. That's YouTube. Now is it going to take some time to get there. Yes, is it going to be hard work. Yes, is it going to be easy. No, but it's going to be worth it. Hell yeah, because that's residual income it's going to take you time to build anything.  You're trying to freaking make a hit song like Drake every week. That's going to take you some time to try to write the damn song. You try to build a business that's going to take you time. You're trying to go to school and get your law degree. That's going to take you time. You're trying to go to school and become a doctor.   All I'm saying is that use a little bit of that time to talk about what you're fired up about and park it over here because even as you're just playing around with it. Time is going to go by regardless. And if you could start seeing a check in 12 months from now, and that check can continue to snowball and increase every day.  Okay, especially if you're not in in this country. If you're in another country the Philippines if you're in freaking Singapore and you were in Asia if you're in Brazil. If you're in any of these countries man, this money will change anyone's life and I'm telling you yeah it might not be a full time income right now. But if you can invest an hour or two on the side of your busy ass schedule to go talk about what fires you up and park it here that income as it does as it as it as it grows.  That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying and that's residual income. You're over here producing the videos one time. You're investing your time. You're talking about what you're fired up about. Okay, you're an accountant by day but at night you're fired up about freaking yoga and you're talking about it on YouTube. I'm telling you man there's a there's an audience for it. Other people are interested in what you're interested in as well and YouTube will start paying you for it man invest your time in 2020 talk about what you're excited about. And now I'm going to show you how how I truly believe it started to it started a snowball from for me right so here's what happened okay here's what happened. In September of 2019 which was not that long ago, I hit the 1000 subscribers I hit the 4000 watch hours. And now today I'm not that much higher than that I'm at 1460. But here's what started happening. Here's what started happening. I started getting little checks. Okay, so let's go to. Let's go to the actual analytics of the income. Because this is exactly exactly how it broke down and and and I'm just getting started man I'm just getting started, but it's starting to grow man it started to grow. And that's what fires me up so let me go to the to the creator studio classic I hate this new version, but I'm gonna have to get used to it because it is what it is. But let's go to the revenue real quick, let's go to the revenue. So, here's what my bank account is seen.  But right now, I'm fired up over a few hundred man, I'm fired up over a few hundred. Let's look at these analytics. We click on analytics. Damn is it taking me back to the new analytics. Man I thought I can get around this damn freaking new version of it but I'll show it to you in this. Okay, so here's what happened man let's look at let's look at. Let's look at lifetime. Let's look at lifetime. And then we scroll down and we look at revenue click on revenue and then we click on yes right here. Okay, perfect. Here's where it happened man. Here's what happened. This was 2019 September 2019 October 2019 November 2019 December 2019. So as I told you, I became optimized I hit my 1000 subscribers. I hit the 4000 watch hours around October of 2019. And then September is when that first is when that revenue that ad money started accumulating. Okay, now but but but in September, I didn't hit the $100 threshold. So that money sat and to tell you the truth what's so crazy is that I wasn't even paying attention to it I didn't even know I just knew that I was I was way off and I just had to keep doing it. All I stayed focused on you guys I wasn't caught up in the details I wasn't caught up on on the analytics I wasn't caught up on on the how to really all I was doing was putting up content putting up content putting up content just putting out videos like they were going out of style. That's why I started doing in 2019 and obviously I started learning the tags and the description and all that stuff and the thumbnail. But really there wasn't there's not really much to it. But I didn't really start paying attention to that until this time until until October until October because here's what happened. So in October, I ended up getting a check for the 24848 plus the 4258. So that check of 291 came to me in. Actually, you know what, it came to me, it came to me let me do the math, because I think that was the, um, that was a 312 the 24848248 plus the 4258 that was 291. Okay, that was 291. That was 291 that was paid out in in in November. That was paid out in November. So so even though it says it right here. It's it's it's it's the next month. So what you do what you do in September is paid out in October. What you do in October is paid out in November. This 312 was paid out in December. This 3339 for the month of December is paid out in January. Okay, so that's why it looks this way. But the 42 and the 248 was my very first check and that was paid in November. Okay, that was November 21. I'll never forget it when I got that check. It was a day before my son's birthday. Okay, where I got a check for 291. This 312 was what I did a video on a few days ago that 312 was paid out in December. That's what I saw just this past December 2019. Now look what I'm about to see in in in January. So what I'm about to see this month, January 2020 is 339 79. It keeps going up man, it keeps going up. And what I'm going to see in February, I have no doubt will be in the 500s. And who knows how crazy it exponentially grows from there because I truly believe this is increasing by little increments. But I know once a channel really takes off and I go from 1400 subscribers to 7000 subscribers. That's going to be growing by the hundreds per month.  This is going to be increasing by hundreds per month and even thousands I'm going to be at 5000 a month. And all of a sudden the next month is going to be 7500. It's going to keep increasing and it's going to go by thousands eventually. My goal this year is to take this channel to 100,000 subscribers.  All I'm thinking of is the investment. I'm willing to put up the time I'm willing to put out the time I'm willing to invest the hour here hour there. To talk about what I'm already fired up about and share it with you guys and eventually become monetized. That's what's going on over here man. So these have been my YouTube checks. This was all the end of 2019. And so from from the months that I showed you, I truly believe that it started to increase because of my consistency. And because of the tags that I started using on these on these different videos and staying on topic. So that's what you guys want to do man number one. Here's what I'm going to leave you with number one pick your topic, whatever you're fired up about start talking about that. Okay, that's number one. Number two is you want to start putting out three videos every single week, religiously. Okay, like it was your religion. Okay, three videos per week, no matter what. And that's what I'm going to do this year in 2020. I'm going to keep it simple. A lot of you guys that are that have been subscribed.  The goal is to really kind of get the algorithm going and really see if it worked in my advantage, which I really haven't seen just yet we're just January 1 2020. So I haven't really seen the fruits of that labor to see if it really really, you know, helped or not. But I know the magic number for most YouTubers are three a week, three a week, three a week. If you could put up three a week. That's 144 videos in a given year that right there can explode someone's channel.  A new three new videos every week. I'm going to keep it that simple. And what I want you to what I want to show you also is how you're going to be doing this. So let's let's let's see if I can. In fact, I don't know if I have any videos on my computer saved. But let me let me see if I can. Let me see if I do. So all you're going to do is you're going to come up here. You're going to hit this upload video right here. And you're going to upload the video. And what I plan on doing just to kind of let you guys really know my strategy is every Friday. Again, I dropped a video yesterday talking about the top 10 tips to help you, you know, crush it in 2020. You got to have a schedule on my schedule. My Fridays are meant for my YouTube videos. So all I'm doing it's not like this is taking a lot of time out of my week. It's not. I'm literally going to delegate three hours on a Friday. Now not everyone can do it.  Mine happens to be Friday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm. That's when I'm going to be producing three videos. And I'm going to schedule those videos to go out the following week. That's it.  I'm going to schedule them. But all you can all you're going to do is come over here, hit that upload. And I don't have any videos like I thought I did. Yeah, I don't have any videos, but all you're going to do is you're going to choose that video. And then you're going to upload it. Okay. And then in the tags, you're going to want to make sure you put tags, all the keywords should be keywords that you're doing research on. So if you're over here, and there's a few different plugins that you guys can download. Here's what I want you guys to install keywords everywhere. This is a free plugin. Get that one. And then also get to buddy. Okay, they're free plugins. This is going to help you with the analytics is going to help you with the keywords. This is going to help you know what words to put in the tags. Okay. Another way to kind of know or kind of, you know, kind of gauge off of is let's say for example, your topic was landing pages. Right here, landing pages, landing page design, landing, landing in London. Let's go landing pages for beginners, landing pages that convert landing pages for affiliate marketing, landing page tutorial. All of these different keywords are what you could start putting in the, in the keyword section of the video. So as you upload a video, you're going to put tags, those are keywords, and those are going to be all words based on around that topic. Don't put different words. That's what I did in the, in the very beginning 2017 into 2018, even in the beginning of 2019, I'm putting all these different words that have to do with online entrepreneurship that have to do with social media marketing. But we're very different than the video. So if I was doing a video on Facebook ads in my tags, I would have how to build a business online, how to make money online, how to start a business. I would have all these words that are somewhat in related but not really like if I'm doing a Facebook ad video, a Facebook ad tutorial video, every keyword is going to be on Facebook ads, Facebook ads for beginners, Facebook ads that convert Facebook ads, video ads, Facebook advertisement, how to run Facebook ads. Every keyword is around that exact topic. Okay, that was the game changer for me. And once I learned that I noticed that my videos were starting to get more views and more subscribers were starting to come around. Okay, now also that's number one. Also in the description. Okay, now this is one thing that I've yet to do and this is what I'll be doing as of now. In the description. What I did and what I had is the same description in all of my videos which are which are the actual now this is the one where this is one that I did yesterday, where I actually listed all this this is what I'm saying here's the tip. The tip is that in here and this is for Google SEO purposes. This right here is what you want to start doing in your description. Write what you're talking about in the video. So whatever the hell you're talking about, let that be also what you write out at the very top of the description. Okay, what I did all of 2017 into 2018, even in 2019. I just kept the same default description, because these are different, you know, products that I got profit with Karcher online digital agency blueprint digital course profits fb ads for beginners, all of my social media links right. That's what I use as my upload default, and I use that for all of them, which is totally fine. But that's all I would put. So on these 300 plus videos.  It's all of this. Just promoting what I got going on right and my social media links obviously, but when it comes to the video when it comes to the topic of the video, you want to talk about that in the description as well and that's what I didn't do. So I got this far you guys without even putting the proper keywords and in the description, you want to put keywords. So again, right in the description what the hell you're talking about in the video. And use to buddy and keywords everywhere to help you with the keywords to put to kind of give you ideas on what keywords you should be putting in that description. This what you want to start doing. And that's what I'll start doing from this day on is I'll start writing a few, a few, you know, fresh copy of what's going on in the video I'll start putting that in the description. But I'm telling you, man, for 300 plus videos, I didn't, I didn't. And I know that that right there is a huge, huge part of your success on your YouTube channel is, is, is the keywords and the SEO and the description. That description needs to be talked about.  Okay. That's number two. Number one, actually, let's start all over. Number one is the consistency. You got to be putting up three videos a week. Number two, you want to start putting the tags in the keywords. And as you upload, you'll see, you'll see all the different keywords. These are my keywords right here. These are actually, um, I think these are my keywords. Yeah. Or these are the ones that that freaking let's let's look look actually know what I can just edit the video and I can show you right here. So number two is these keywords. All right, these keywords, stay on the same exact topic of the video. Okay, so here's the title. Here's the description you see me on yesterday's video I wrote out the top 10 tips. And then, and then there's my upload by default, right the whole bottom part, but over here. And then the thumbnail you want to customize your thumbnail, get a cool thumbnail. I use Canva for the thumbnail so you can come over here to Canva. And this is all free. Right.  Right there. YouTube thumbnail. You come over here, click on the blank one. And then you can come over here. And there's so many different templates that you can use. You can upload your own or you can use all these different templates. This one's free. I can click on that one. And I can use that one. In fact, I think that's the one I'm using now. That's my new template, but it's a different color, but that and different image, obviously, but that's that's the new one.  And then you title that thumbnail. This the key words. This is super important how to run Facebook ads. You want to title that thumbnail for sure that's super, super important as well. Save it, you're going to download it. That becomes your thumbnail. Okay, that becomes your thumbnail. And then also it's down here. It's the tags. Yeah, this is what I'm talking about. So this is what I wrote. These are the tags how to make money, how to make more money. Motivation. Let's let's go motivation. And then as you because I have to buddy, all I do is I type in the keyword and it gives me suggestions. This is what I want for sure. Right. I want this for sure. Tips to become a better marketer. I'll show you if that's even popular, which it's not. So tips to become a better person tips to become a better morning person. Now it kind of doesn't have anything to do with it, but it kind of does. Right. And if it's down here to buddy is suggesting it, then I'm thinking that it's a popular keyword. Again, man, how to how to flirt lose weight. New Year's resolutions. New Year's resolution. I'll put that right. So all keywords that are somewhat related to the video and the topic of what I'm talking about. Okay, so that right there. Those are your tags. Okay. So number one, consistent three videos per week is the minimum and that's kind of the maximum. Delegate some time to go produce three videos of what you're fired up about. Number two, right out the description. You can have a default one. So I'll show you how to get to the default one. And because this right here. This is my default. It's not like I type this on every single video. This is what I have in the description of every single one of my videos. It's this whole highlighted part right here. But it's not like I type that on every video.  Now, if I record a video on my cell phone and I upload it to YouTube from my cell phone, that description, the default description is not going to not going to come up. You're going to have to copy and paste it. But if you're, if you're doing a video like this on screen share on your computer and you're uploading the video from your computer up to YouTube, that description will come over if it's your default, which I'll show you how to, how to get there. But it's really the top part. I want you to write out that top part right out that description, whatever the description doesn't have to be crazy long at all. But you want keywords in here. You want to talk about what the video is all about. Type it out and then have, have your default one down here. And that's what you want to do. Okay. And then the keywords, download the, the thumbnail for sure. That's number three and let's call the keywords number four. And, and, and again, to buddy and, and keywords everywhere will help you with the keywords for sure. Okay. And a lot of you guys know how to use Google keyword planner. If you know how to use that, then for sure go off of that as well. But that's all I've done, man. And that's all I've learned that other people have done. And that's how they blown up, man.  One huge goal. One huge goal is going to be freaking taking my channel from where it's at today, which is super, super small. Right. But I'm already starting to see this money. Let's cancel out of that because I don't want to save that. Let's go to let's leave. What else was I going to show you guys, I was going to show you guys three. Oh yeah, the default, the default. So look at 1460. I'm calling it right now, man. I'm calling it right now. I'm putting it out in the universe. I'm going to be consistent. I'm going to put up these videos and I'm going to crush it. I'm going to take it from 1460 to 100,000 subscribers in 2020. I'm that committed. I'm going to be that consistent.  And all I'm telling you, man, is that if my little channel right now is giving me a few hundred right now, that gets me fired up. What do you think that monthly checks going to be when I'm at 100,000 subscribers? Where's that monthly check going to be when I'm at 10,000 subscribers? That's 10xing where I'm at now. 10,000 subscribers. My life has completely changed financially. 50,000, 60,000. I'm calling it right now, man. I'm going to 100,000 subscribers in 2020. So shout out to every single one of you, man. If you're new to my channel, please subscribe. I'm dropping weekly content on social media marketing, affiliate marketing and making money online.  I'm in the trenches, go to an agency. I'm in the trenches producing online courses, making money on YouTube, making money with affiliate marketing. I am in the trenches closing deals every single day. And all I'm doing is documenting and bringing value to those of you that are looking to do the same. So shout out to every single one of you guys, man. I wish you nothing but major, major, major success in 2020. Here's the last part I'll leave you with. And that's the default because you don't want to, you don't want to bring over all that content, all that copy for every single video. So you want to write out your stuff, right? Write out what you're going to keep as default for, you know, for generic purposes for every video. Like your social media links, for example, you know, that's something you don't want to have to write on every description every single time. So all you're going to do is going to hit the video manager, like I just did, click on settings. And then you're going to come over here, upload defaults. And this right here, you can write out this description. Okay, you got 5000 characters, write out this description. And this, this remains the one that that comes over on every new video that you upload on your computer. Okay. And if you didn't upload that video from your computer, you did it on your cell phone, upload it on your cell phone and then come over here to your computer and get it pretty. All right. Copy it from here. And then paste it on the new video. Okay, because you're not going to, I don't think you're going to, I don't know. That's, that's how much I don't know. I don't know if you can do it from your cell phone. I haven't been able to so, but again, I haven't, I haven't even done, I don't even know it all yet. So I don't, I don't do the title because I don't, it's not the same title for every video, right? But there's description. These are all my products. These are my social media links. This remains the same. I need this on every single video. But now I'm, all I'm telling you is that you can bring it over.  Put some keywords in there. Get descriptive with it. Get detailed with it because that's going to help you with Google SEO and that's going to help YouTube. YouTube's algorithm when it comes to getting your video shown by more people. Okay, so that's what it is, you guys. That's where we're at in 2020. I'm just convinced that you guys can do the same thing if not even more. And it really can be that simple.  I'll see you guys on the next video over now.
