1. Record yourself talking into a camera about a specific topic and upload it video to YouTube and then take the audio from the video and add it to podcast platforms as audio only.
2. Record yourself talking into a microphone and add that audio recording to podcast platforms, then create a video by adding a few relevant images to the audio file using a video editing tool and upload the video to YouTube.

It can take a while to build a profitable YouTube channel and grow a following, but this is a fantastic way to create a lot of content with ease and speed.

Audio recordings can also then be split into a lot of short sound bites and made into videos that can be shared as ‘Reels’ and ‘Stories’ on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to help grow the channel and following.

Audio can also be quickly transcribed into written text and turned into eBooks and articles as a way to create more profitable content.

The idea for this came after reading how one woman makes tens of thousands of pounds from watching YouTube videos.

She watches one or two popular videos a day, takes notes about what is talked about, and then creates a series of articles around that topic.

She also turns those articles into videos too which she shares on YouTube and other platforms.

What I am talking about here is doing something similar… but potentially easier and faster.

For this you will quickly read through one or two articles around the same subject creating a list of bullet points to talk about, then record yourself talking about those points for 20 or 30 minutes.

You could easily squeeze out several of these videos per day which you publish online over a week or two.

A new YouTube channel requires 4,000 hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers before you can apply to join their partner program and make money from adverts shown on and around your videos.

This could take time to happen and so you do need a plan of action, but one of the best forms of action a person can take is to publish good quality and interesting content regularly and consistently.

The more content that you share, the greater opportunity there is for people to watch or listen to your videos.

It is easier to generate 4,000 hours of video views when you have 30 half hour videos published than if you just had 1 video.

Subject matter is important too. What you talk about can attract or repel viewers and listeners.

For example, talking about low-carb diets and why counting calories is a bad way to lose weight is going to attract more people than talking about brass rubbings.

Some subjects will appeal to more people than others.

Once you have 1,000 channel subscribers and your videos have 4,000 hours of watch time, you can apply to be a YouTube partner and earn money by having adverts shown on and around your videos.

Once you are a partner, every video you upload becomes a source of income.

Some may only make pennies; others could make thousands of pounds… maybe even tens of thousands of pounds.

The reason why I like this idea is that you are creating a simple information publishing business which will earn money through advertising revenue by simply talking about content that is right in front or your nose.

People have spent a lot of time writing articles and creating videos which you simply study for a few minutes and then talk about for 20 – 30 minutes.

You can have those articles open and scan through them as you talk.

What you shouldn’t do is read them out in full and try and pass it off as your own unique content.

If you want to read large swathes of someone else’s work or quote what they have said, at least name them and give them credit such as:

‘In his controversial article over on [website name], [name], said…’ and then read out what they published. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

However, when it comes to a subject, unless it is a new scientific theory or something that is so unique that it is associated to one person particularly, you can talk about it in your own words and not worry about it too much.

Talking into a microphone or a video camera is probably the easiest thing anyone can do because virtually all mobile phones today come with them as standard.

It’s just a case of opening up your camera on your phone and hitting record then talking about something specific.

You can do this in a quiet corner of your home or while relaxing in your garden.

It’s all incredibly simple.

Kind regards.
