My first viral video made me $8,000 in revenue.

Yes, from only one video alone.

The stats: 5,700,000 views. 4,300 comments and 102,000 likes.

I still can’t believe I managed to create a video that produced so much engagement from an audience. The amount of feedback I received makes me smile to this day. People loved it.

You must be thinking that I spent hours of research for the video to perform the way it did. That it took days or weeks to edit. When in reality, it is much simpler than you think.

The “Secret” One-Minute Method

When I began my YouTube journey, I watched all the same videos you did and the one tip that remained consistent across all channels was to make your videos longer than 8 minutes.

The reason behind this is so that you can put ad rolls in the middle of your videos and because YouTube recommends longer videos before shorter ones. Or so they say.
