Making Money Online Through Social Media Traffic
In order for you to gain traction and be able to compete among your niche, you have to immerse yourself with the trend, the so-called “social media marketing.” Why, so that you can make new friends? That too. But what you are primarily aiming for is not friends but visibility and traffic.
Here are 5 ways to get social media traffic and earn money online.
#1 Join Social Networks
It’s basically common sense but in case you missed out on this obvious fact, let me remind you to join social networks. Not only Facebook or Twitter, you can also create accounts on Tumblr or Pinterest and just about any online networks where in you can funnel your social contacts to your website or blog.#2 Familiarized Features
When you join social networks, you have to be committed to knowing them. Just because you have too many networks does not mean you have to be casual about it and do on Facebook what you are doing on Twitter. To make it easy for you, learn the features that can best serve your purpose, which in this case is traffic and ad clicks.#3 Get Fans and Followers
Like web traffic, getting Twitter followers or Facebook fans is not easy when you don’t know certain strategies in attracting the right people. You might say, I am mistaken since people on Twitter have an average of 300 to 1000 followers. The question is, are they targeted? Will they click on your ads or buy the products you are promoting?#4 Create Focused Content
How can you prove that you have something of value to your social connections? You create focused contents for your blog. Write about topics that are relevant to ads having the most daily or monthly clicks, so as not to appear off to your readers.Anyway, Google often matches displayed ads to the content of your blog, so there is no problem on that department. Most importantly, think about what people will love to read on your blog, no doubt, they’ll check out those posts.
#5 Utilize SEO
Believe it or not, SEO (search engine optimization), social media and paid ads are inseparable in your campaign. How come? Social networks such as Twitter and Facebook use keywords to aggregate content of the same niche and category, which is pretty much what you need in order to be found. When your content has relevant and targeted keywords, it would make your post searchable on social networks as well as on search engines.Social media now has the upper hand when people refer to strategies on internet marketing. Some would even claim that it has replaced SEO and PPC. But in my opinion, the three should stick together to make the most returns. Why settle for one source of traffic when you can have three at your disposal?
How to Mathematically (and Practically) Get 4000 Hours of Watch Time on YouTube This Year As A Small Creator
YouTube requires your channel to have 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watchtime with the past 12 months to have monetization.
Now, I’m also a small creator and the above image was screencapped from an email directly from YouTube about one of my two channels. However, unlike a lot of small creators, I’m perfectly okay with this change.
Today I’m not gonna talk about the logistics of why this change is good or the emotional responses that anybody has about these changes. Instead, we’re gonna talk about the mathematical way that small creators can reach 4,000 watch time hours in the next year.
I went back to the routes of my Algebra days and came up with the following word problem:
If Watch Time has to be 4,000 hours in 1 Year:
-What’s the minimum amount of videos you need to make this year?
- How many views does each video need to get?
- AND how long should the video be?
I’m not gonna tackle the subscriber issue, because I think if you follow the quest in getting 4,000 hours of watchtime, the subscriber count will go with it.
Also, there are a ton of variables that come into play here, so we’re going to assume a couple of things for the sake of this exercise:
- Each video you make, gets the minimum amount of views needed AND was watched all the way through by each of these views. We’ll call these views “pure views” because this assumes that they were watched in their entirety.
- Since videos stay around forever, older videos can increase in views randomly and consistently throughout the year, so since this math would be extremely complicated, we’re not talking about that.
So, here are the things that we know:
- We know that 4,000 hours of Watch Time is equal to 240,000 minutes.
- We also know that YouTube prefers 10 minute long videos. So 10 minutes will be the baseline for part of our discussion.
Let’s Begin!
To reach the 240,000 minutes of Watch Time needed, you could make:
- 240,000 videos at 10 minutes long, with each getting 1 view. This is impossible.
- 2,400 videos at 10 minutes long, with each getting 10 views. This is also pretty unreasonable.
- 240 videos at 10 minutes long, with each getting 100 views.
Now we’re talking.
Though 100 views would be hard to get on every video, UNLESS, every video you make is a quality video, the thumbnail is very clickable and extremely search friendly, this won’t be as hard.
Basically, if you ride on trends the entire year and create a bunch of How-To videos, along with niche content and the content that you want to make — we’re looking at an extremely possible situation.
240 videos at 10 minutes long, each getting 100 views, means that each video needs to have a total of 1,000 Watch Time minutes (which is equal to about 16.5 hours).
*Extra Tip* Take a look at your video library. If you have a video that has already received 1,000 Watch Time minutes in the span of a year, find out what made it work so well and try to replicate it success.
We also know that 240 videos a year, gives us an additional 125 days in the year where a video is not being uploaded. This means 1 video every 1.5 days OR roughly 5 videos a week. Only 10 minutes a piece and you’ve got a nice weekend off.
But 100 views is still a lot for a small channel to maintain, including myself, so you spend 5 days a week recording, editing, uploading and then the other 2 days are left from promoting your videos in the right Facebook Groups, SubReddits, Twitter, etc.
But, for arguments sake (and because I still have plenty of more math for you), let’s say 100 views still seems like a lot.
Well, what if we made 365 videos this year, instead of 240. That means, one video a day.
Most people will even tell you that you should have daily content anyways.
So 365 videos a year, at 10 minutes long, means that you only need to get about 66 views on every video you upload.
Getting 66 views is much better than getting 100 views.
But what if I show you something crazier?
If you increase each video by 1 minute extra, then you have 365 videos, each at 11 minutes long. Now you only have to get 60 views, instead of the initial 100 views.
But let’s get even crazier.
Here is a chart that shows you how many views you have to get on each video, if you make 365 videos this year, based on the length of the video:
- What types of videos can I make that are extremely sharable OR would be watched if you shared them in the right place?
- Find things that people haven’t covered yet. Do something unique. Yes, it’s easier said than done and I’m learning this myself, but every time I’ve ever done an off-the-wall video, the views have been much higher.
- Consider diversifying your content. If you’re a Let’s Player, do Live Streams and other types of Gaming Content. If you’re an animator, Live Stream your animating sessions, and do behind-the-scenes videos. If you’re a musician, do covers, record raw sessions of your music, and Live Stream gigs or performances.
- In fact, LIVE STREAM. This past year on my gaming channel, I had 1,566 hours of Watch Time. The Top 10 most watched videos only made up 24% of my entire watch time AND 8/10 of those were Live Streams. Live Streams will get you more watch time.
- Consider doing a weekly podcast in your niche. On my Main Channel, 91% of my watch time in the past 5 months came from my Top 10 most watched videos. 5/10 of those were podcasts. Chances are you know something about your niche and can provide some kind of value there.
- Above all else, make good content. Too many people focus on the numbers and don’t realize that maybe they still need to work on learning how to make good videos. I was there once and I still have plenty of room to grow. I’m sure you do too.
Now we have to go back to the word problem:
If Watch Time has to be 4,000 hours in 1 Year:
- What’s the minimum amount of videos you need to make this year?
- How many views does each video need to get?
- AND how long should the video be?
Experiment with it, but most of all, execute it!
You have to believe in yourself.
