Yes, you read that title right. Here's how we made over $120,000 re-uploading videos onto the channel. And this is not clickbait because you can see on the screen, the numbers are real. And if I could be straight up with you, it's actually more than that, but I just got lazy tallying up all the numbers.
So it's a lot more than $120,000. But I actually wanna share the strategy that we use to do this so that you can implement it into your channel. Let's go. You gotta just press record. Hey, what's up?
It's Omar Takrori with Think Media. And the first strategy that I wanna break down is what I call content marathons. And I hope you're taking notes because this is real stuff that you can actually implement.
Now, content marathons in a nutshell are videos that are usually longer than about 30 minutes and can go upwards to two or even three hours. And if you didn't know this, there's a huge opportunity on YouTube to upload very long videos because not that many people are doing it. However, maybe you're thinking like, how do I even make an hour long video?
Well, this is why we call it content marathons. When you wake up Saturday morning and start planning out your videos for the week or even for the month, I really want to encourage you to start thinking of your videos in series form. And what I mean by that is coming up with multiple videos that can all be stitched together into one video eventually. So let me give you a real life example on how we do this here at Think Media. Nolan Molt, who's another creator here on Think Media, shout out to you Nolan, made a video called How to Start and Set Up a New YouTube Channel, The Ultimate Guide.
This video is about an hour and a half long and is absolutely crushing, but it's one of the only videos on this topic that is an hour and a half long. There are a lot of people that are actually looking for the information all condensed in one thing. Now this video wasn't necessarily something Nolan sat down and shot all the way through to create an hour and a half tutorial.
No, he actually created sub tutorials that he then later on stitched together. Now if you scrub through this video you'll see the many tutorials that Nolan created within this video and all those videos are actually uploads that we uploaded previous to to. Stitching it all together.
So now when you clicked on this video and you said how we made money re-uploading videos to YouTube, this is essentially how we did it. We make tutorials and videos in series knowing that we will eventually stitch it all together and then re-upload the video to the channel. And typically it's a video that isn't quite offered on YouTube at its length, right? You have a lot of little tutorials on YouTube, but you don't have a lot of people uploading hour long content onto YouTube.
And if you really deliver on that information, then you'll absolutely crush. And we'll post links to other examples down in the description. And I would encourage you, I don't know, literally like maybe steal the title and insert what you're doing because a lot of times we'll do things from like start to finish.
You can implement this around certain products like we do with cameras. We'll make multiple tutorials on a camera, then stitch it all together and upload that full video. Or we do it on softwares like editing software. We'll do multiple tutorials on how to use an editing software, stitch it all together. upload it and these videos absolutely crush, but this is called content marathons, but it's so key in the planning phase to dial in that final video that these little videos you're creating over time is gonna be created into.
And just a cool way to get a free upload because it doesn't take that much more work to just stitch them together, right? Now, the second way is repurposing content, which is actually the reverse of content marathons. This is when you sit down and actually create a long form piece of content, like a video podcast, or maybe even a live stream.
that exceeds the 30 to an hour mark, which is totally fine, right? But then in post, you create videos from that long form piece of content. And we've done this time and time again on Think Media. I haven't even tallied up these numbers, but when me and Nolan will sit down for a while, talk for a little bit, but then we'll take some of that conversation and re-upload it to YouTube and then angle it in a different way and it gets crazy views.
But I actually break down how you can do this in a video that you can check out by clicking or tapping the screen. And I can't wait to see you in a future video. Peace.
