YouTube Marketing Challenge Month Five - 20% Of The Effort & 300% Increase In Results!

Key Takeaways

hey miles Bechtler here miles becker calm in this video we're gonna look at the results of my video marketing challenge now that i've gone through five months which is a hundred and fifty days now real quick if you haven't seen the other videos you don't know about the challenge it started as a 90-day challenge one video a day every day for 90 days i extended that to 120 days and I did a video every day for four months straight and you can see the previous videos where I kind of detailed the growth and and the results from each of those now that I've transitioned I've stopped doing a video a day this month I've done six videos in the last 30 days which is on average of video about every five days or about one and a half a little over one video per week and here's the really cool part and this is what I'm excited to share about the whole process of doing this kind of challenge is that my momentum is continuing to grow even though I'm putting in literally like a fifth like literally I'm putting a 20% of the energy I was putting in and I'm still getting more and more and more results now remember that this same sort of philosophy and the same sort of approach of marketing works perfectly if you're a writer and you just want to do a blogging challenge on WordPress obviously this works I have this similar way in video and you can do this with audio as a podcast as well and do daily audios so let's jump in and take a look at the numbers and get some actual data on the results excuse me so here's the first here's the first place we're gonna go which is my my youtube dashboard and you're gonna see that in the last 30 days right so we're looking at the the period of the end of month 4 to the end of month 5 so this is day number 121 - to 150 I've had literally a hundred and thirty three thousand minutes watched for an average duration of six and a half minutes now this has been going up significantly over time and that's really interesting to me because we are known in this day and age we being human beings to have very short attention spans so you're gonna see that my likes continue to grow and I'm at this point here where I've got a whole new high on likes I'm on this new point here eight thousand six hundred minutes watched in a single day that's a new record and even here on the views the number of views happening per day is kind of consistently over a thousand for the last several days this is also a new record look down here in the subscribers area and you can see a new daily record in subscriber numbers so this is the whole point and the whole goal of doing a marketing challenge you push hard enough long enough that you generate this kind of momentum that gets picked up by the algorithm of the search engine in this case it's YouTube but if you do this on WordPress with vlogging it's Google and they're the same algorithm pretty much they're the same search engine owned by the same company so what happens is once you've built Authority which I've done with my channel now through proving to them I'm a content creator who gets people to watch and like and engage with my content they're rewarding me with more views on all of my past videos so let's run a quick comparison here and let's see what the previous period was so this is 30 days over 30 right so the orange line you see here was I was doing a video a day during the orange line and you'll see in the blue line I did literally five videos and I bet I bet we did a video there one two three four five I'm guessing literally those Peaks are pretty much correlations through the videos I've done but look at this difference here and this is literally what 300 percent increase essentially down here we're looking pretty close to a 300 percent increase in views and again I'm putting in 20 percent of the effort that I once was I've gotten off of the throttle I've gotten in a maintenance mode I've gotten back to my day job which is building my funnels and building my marketing campaigns for my wife and my business she's loving it I'm loving it our business is growing and this platform continues to grow it's like this is absolutely remarkable and if this doesn't convince you that taking action and consistent action over long periods of time is the trick right like there's no software that's gonna there's nothing magic there's no silver bullet other than applying yourself and doing it over and over and over again until you prove to the network whether it's YouTube or Google that you deserve the viewership so let's go back even farther right so I got another screen loaded I'm a load to here in a second that we're gonna do these most recent 30 to the 30 before this and this is where it gets really really interesting now I was stoked with these results on the orange line when I was getting them this is month three essentially this is the end of my 90 day challenge down here and you can see the resort of the results are monumental literally 10x I totally 10x it here more than 10x this is like 13 X right here in the watch time this is pretty close to 10x on the views you can notice I got I got a little momentum going right here at the end and my a verge few duration has gone up by over 50% that is incredible and these are the kinds of things that goop that Google and YouTube love to see and that's why they're giving me more and more and more kind of viewers you can see here the subscriber numbers it's it's nuts literally the difference here so people are always like looking for the tricks and the tactics and what's the special sauce this is it and this is why I keep putting these out it's not about how man like income reports or how much we're making with it it's about effort reports how much effort are you putting in for sustained periods of time to literally change your business so now this is great in YouTube right I'm not running ads I'm not monetizing this at all I have a few affiliate links I'm making a little bit of cash flow I think I've made about a thousand bucks in affiliate commissions at this point or so but let's go over here to analytics this is the analytics of my website and this is the same period we were just looking at before and you can see the traffic I had before my website was absolutely flatlined and I'm getting I've had literally a 737 percent increase and this is to my wordpress blog and at this point I've had approximately 10 of my videos transcribed and reworked into blog posts and posted to my website and that's literally I've done 10 in the course of like four or five months and that's it literally and you can see what what really really is interesting to me here is the shape of the blue line and the blue is the current 30-day period and if you notice it's this almost rolling and surging and growing arc it's not peaking and Bali anymore like it was before up down up down up it's very very steady well within a very long term kind of clean smooth range that's showing I'm gonna keep getting more traffic to my website over time this is going to continue other interesting facts here is it's not just the number of sessions going up but everything is going up my bounce rate is dropping people are staying going to more pages the pages per session has gone up to over two pages per session from about one and a half the number of users is up the average session duration is up and these are all of the numbers that Google monitors in order to see you know does this website deserve more traffic that's what they're always thinking and with people engaging and staying on my site and going through more and more of my content Google is much more willing to give me more content so this is absolutely astounding and I really encourage you if you haven't already taken this step and taking a leap of faith to publishing more than you creating more than you consume to publishing every single day come hell or high water I mean in this period I've traveled across the Pacific Ocean at least twice I had a 30 plus hour travel day I had another twenty-something plus hour travel day and I got videos out each and every time on those days so if you think you're too busy trust me I'm busy I run a full-time business I am incredibly business I'm a husband I like literally this is not something that like I'm on easy street getting this content out this is forcing me to hustle and find little periods of time you know like to get this stuff out I'm working weekends and I'm working late in the evening to get this stuff out for you as well so I hope you appreciate it the last thing we're gonna look at here I'm gonna do I'm going to turn off this comparison and I want to look at the shape of this there it is so is literally the growth curve of my channel in the five months right this is starting back in August when I put it my you can see I put my first video up right here a few days into it I had 15 views on my first day and I'm pretty sure I know every single person by name who were those first views then it went down to five that was my mom my wife my sister my dad and my aunt and that that's all who was watching at the beginning and you noticed these numbers were so small Nagiko and this is the challenge right is the willingness and your ability mentally to push through and to keep with it in the face of minimal to no results right I'm months in at this point and the growth curve has not even taken off but what just happened what just happened is magic is I've stopped publishing every single day I've reduced my input by 80% I am now cross that 8020 threshold and 20% of my efforts are creating 80% of the results whereas before 80% of the efforts was only creating 20% of the results and I had to push on this for a long time to get this growth curve but look at my view numbers I'm up to 32,000 views at this point total almost 200,000 minutes viewed 235 days of human beings watching my content which is absolutely amazing and an average of six minute view duration that's actually really quite long for YouTube and this is because I'm putting out content that helps people and they're engaging you can see all of my numbers were up I love the fact that I'm getting some dislikes I'm moving people on getting people to think ass doesn't for me are you know I'm getting emotion out of people on I'm taking a stand on certain things and really it's it's quite fantastic to see these kinds of results and the only reason I'm doing this here is to show you you can do this right you can see here I've got what maybe five videos that have reached a thousand views or more a few of them are going up from there but this is the game right I put up a hundred and fifty some odd and videos and what five you know made it to here so somewhere around 2 percent of my videos actually really caught on but what's happening is they're creating most of the results 4 percent generating 64% of Myra's right there so that's it for this video I just really I really want to help you realize that it's not about studying more it's not about learning the tips and track tech tactics it's not about the new shiny object or what's the software you use or what's the list that you use or how do you do that all of those things become clear over time when you're consistently taking action and when you do consistently take action what you start to do is you get Google and YouTube and all of the different search engines you get them realizing wow this person is a player on this platform and they begin to bless you with more content another thing that happens is you get better at what you're doing it's like working out in the gym no one goes to the gym for a day and says cool I did my gym stuff I'm done I'm now fit right I'm buff now cuz I did my gym thing once that's not how it works and if you don't go to the gym if you just go once a week or once a month it ain't gonna work you're not gonna get that lean fit physique that people truly want when they go to the gym how do people get absolutely cut and ripped if they do in the gym thing they call every single day every single day right it's the same thing I want my business I want my platform I want my audience to be healthy so what do I have to do I have to show up very consistently and what I did over the course of the first four months is I put in enough effort then I got myself fit enough that now I can stagger it and do 1 to 2 videos per week and still get maximum reach I'm still putting out great content I'm still building this audience and I'm just getting rewarded with more and more and more traffic so if this isn't motivating you to turn off YouTube and go take action man I don't know what will be but that's the trick is to take action whether you're doing videos or podcasts or whether you're creating Facebook ad accounts and Facebook advertisements and campaigns or just whatever you're doing man just do it do more of it be consistent it's going to work for you if you work for it it's gonna look like at the first month or two I'm putting in all this effort and nothing's happening yep you're right where you're supposed to be keep going keep failing forward you'll get better at it you'll master the craft you'll learn a new skill and when all is said and done you'll have a new audience ready who know like and trust you and at that point you can build your list you sell products you can sell affiliate products etc etc so I look forward to bringing you more awesome content if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet
