Can You Monetize Meditation Channels on Youtube? (30 Day Experiment)

[@zengagemotivational]

I followed the advice of one of these KZbin Gurus on making a relaxation channel. Did all that work only to be knocked back by KZbin for monetisation due to lack of originality. So, I scraped those videos, took 100% original video myself and images, put them together with the music and sounds, and a month later, bang, monetised. The lesson? To get monetised for a channel like that, use 100% original images and videos.

[@rickytv7877]

​@@zengagemotivational would you like to show me what websites can i visit for this meditation music?

[@zengagemotivational]

@@rickytv7877 just type in “buy meditation music for commercial use” and a whole list of sites will come up. The best ones to use are the ones you pay for as they are generally not over used like the free ones usually are. For guided meditation, you can easily find many of them by searching Google but again, be prepared to pay something for them. Or, buy some guided meditation scripts and record your own with some background music. However, be prepared to do the work as this genre on KZbin is not an easy one. I hope this helps you Ricky to get started.

If it takes 160 uploads on average, why did you stop after only 30?

[@jonahblock]

i think this was about testing the promise of a shortcut

[@mellowvalley]

I’m just starting out, but I create my own sounds. And I’ve started to use a paid AI art subscription to create original thumbnails. As I focus on sleep music and sounds, I have most of my videos fade to black. I think Using as much original sounds and images is the key to standing out from the crowd. I record all my own music using Logic Pro , so I will not get flagged for reused content. I just think that most of the free content available today has been so recycled that it’s just not worth trying to use it. You could maybe try and pay a music producer on fivver to create something for you, and try and create your own imagery, if you don’t have the skills to produce your own.

[@andrewpackard5980]

Simple truth is, if it isn't original then it wont do too well, and if it's from stock photos or videos and the audio isn;t original, then it most likely wont be monetized either. channels that do the best with this usually have their own content.

[@lifewithnnedi]

I like that you said the truth. I listened to KZbin gurus and created a channel based on this niche but I hardly got views. I kept on researching to find out what I was doing wrong till I stumbled on your channel. I am glad to know the problem is that the niche is saturated and its just not as easy to make money as does promoting faceless KZbin channels told us it was.

[@colorinspaceambientmusic]

I'm a professional music producer and video producer, I created a relaxation content brand because I enjoy producing ambient stuff, I didn't launch it I had to park it for a while because I had so much client work, but now its ready to launch I want to abandon the brand because I feel like labelling my work as relaxation content actually tarnishes it because of how much garbage there is on youtube in that niche. People auto generating music, get rich quick passive income making meditation videos blah blah, i'll sell you 10 youtube mediation videos for a hundred bucks etc. Its all just garbage. After doing so much research in this area if I wanted to listen to ambient music on youtube I would never click on a relaxation content vid because the expectation is its going to be awful. I've noted that the big players in this game when I first started looking at it don't seem to get many views on new vids. The ones where its all like 1 million or 2 or 5 million are all from 5 or 10 years ago. So it seems like there is a correlation between the influx of generic crap courtesy of the i'll teach you how to make 6 figures a month in passive income cretins, and the reduction of views for many of the big players who lets face it weren't making particularly inspiring stuff. For me the idea I had was always well if this person is getting 10 million views on a vid and their music is crap why don't I just make something good? But now it's so saturated with garbage I don't even want to label my stuff as the same thing. And there is no way you can get a channel like you've done in this vid monetized now. You can just get an AI synth to endlessly generate drones etc and youtube becomes a swamp of crap so absolutely they should be filtering this stuff out. I think youtube might be making a shift away from generic relaxation brands and becoming more favorable towards actual real individual artists potentially. Because actual music producers like my self are catching on to this now so we can then saturate it with good stuff rather than these admin monkeys trying to make a fast buck clogging it up with shit. Thats how I think it might be going but I can't be certain.

[@jydp]

This is amazing!! Someone showed us the reality without hiding anything. Thanks to you brother. I saw your replies in earlier comments regarding original content (audio/video both) upload. Did you figure it out whether it will work or not? As i am composer i am very keen to learn that. Thanks again in advance if you chose to reply to this!

[@zengagemotivational]

I read a comment here that KZbin does NOT monetise mediation type channels since 2019. I can tell you from experience, that is NOT the case. My meditation/relaxation channel was monetised in early 2022. If you write your own music, maybe even shoot your own video, you should have no problems in getting monetised. But obviously, its up to the gods at KZbin ultimately.

[@patrickfototirol]

​@@zengagemotivational Exactly! That is why I am now a specialized Nature videographer that provides Original & exclusive sounds and videos to KZbin creators in the niche of meditation / relaxation.

What do YOU think is the best way to 'make it rain' on KZbin? 💰

[@Quirky_Quota]

i dont know

[@NicholasLaDieu]

Yes. I recently got interested in affiliate marketing and ran across this scheme, which is making the rounds in the money making niche. I was thinking "bulls....". They just saw a channel had a lot of views and said you can automatically have the same success just doing the same thing. Anytime anyone says this type of thing you're too late... Take that to the bank. It seems like the best way to make money is to just come up with a bunch of fake schemes and then sell someone a course, which upsells them a more expensive course.

[@percywyattrelaxation]

I can understand the desire to earn a living from KZbin content. What I think some people don't realize is that if you are just a video machine, you don't always establish a personal connection with your audience. I personally feel that's very important. I have a genuine desire to help people. I also help myself with the content I create. I get in that realm when I create the video and I can listen to it when I need that particular type of content. Establishing genuine trust with your followers is at the top of my list. If my channel never becomes eligible for monetization that's ok as long as KZbin continues to permit me to use their platform to reach out and help people ,I will continue to do so. I just won't quit my day job😊

[@Milly_in_denmark]

This was so funny 😂. I saw these gurus almost telling people to copy, but I didn’t want to make a negative comment because allot people were buying in to it.

[@racheloshaksmusic]

I feel like your thumbnails could’ve been stronger, like the fonts and the pictures used, could’ve been more appealing or more accurately representing the sounds. The titles were pretty good but also could’ve been modified to be slightly stronger for example using key words like stress and peace, letting the thumbnails also reflect that.

Thats to much. Use stream builder. loop the video, and sound, then set to end it in 10 hours. basicly let youtube make the video using livestream.... much easier.... and yes, after many long hours, and loads of work. it will make money. but it wont be fast nor easy... 30 days.. rofl... try a few years...

[@bettyeverett8089]

If you look at some of the older threads where people questioned why their meditation/relaxation videos got taken down, you will see that Google said it was reused content, repetitive, looping videos and they used to monetize those, but have stopped, because like you said they are over the top with that many of the same thing. Plus if you look, you will see that none of them have ads, but what they do on some is have an affiliate links of sorts to Spotify or their website where I am assuming the music is from. I wouldn't waste my time with this. Also Social Blade is just showing an estimate of what a channel could potential earn, not what it does. So, rather misleading.

[@ريانة-و7ط]

Good advice thank you! I clicked on some of those videos you made I think you can exponentially increase your viewer and subscriber number if the calming images change frequently rather than being completely static and uninteresting to be honest. Personally I like putting relaxing music in the background but with changing images so that whenever I look, there's something interesting/beautiful to look at while listening

youtube is looking at the videodiscription and if there only a bunch of keywords they don´t push the content.... it seems that suggestions are more important... and finaly.... the succsesfull chanels have always something special and unique in their sounds.... its mostly not a simple copy from a free library. i´m curious how your chanel will perform in the long term

That is potentially true, although a lot of big youtubers still use non sensical keyword sentences in their descriptions. You are correct though, recommended videos are very important - but you sometimes need keywords to get in there

It’s because none of the content is yours. No one really makes money or gains success from just using content that isn’t original. They all say they do but the original content that they all actually make money on is the videos (like this one) where they just talk about it.

[@rawbbingmysellph7464]

ok so.. Fist of all i see the point.. "KZbin doesn't recognise this type of content as original content (whatever that means)". Are there people judging or it's the algorythm? what are the criteria of "original content" What if the whole creative approach / purpose of the channel is different though? Let's say that::: I am an audio engineer who loves capturing / recording nature or ambiance in unique (or not) situations / places.. The concept includes me getting my a$$ out there, hunting the 'real thing' by using creative, recording techniques in the process (see it as photo/videography). Editing will take part as little as possible.. That means that as long as the video lasts, it's me somewhere there feeding battery to my devices.. I also use unique, professional gear that makes me competitive in my field. Both in audio and video scenarios. Of course that doesn't have to mean anythng to "success".. but at least i can indeed provide a different experience quality / creative wise to the listener. The approach is not about getting a quick buck doing as little as possible.. nor tries to fit into any generic af niche of this kind.. This is for people that can benefit from these sounds / imageries in many ways, and would appreciate quality, realism, and the work put in behind it.. For sure the best move i can think of is to use that as a second channel and not as your main focus.. How about that? Does that make any sense? Can this approach be interesting for people AND / OR can it be monitized at all?

[@VEEDCREATORS]

I understand what you're saying, but there's still no guarantee that KZbin will see this as "original content"

@@VEEDCREATORS i'm sorry but i'm as confused as before. I mean.. with all the rescpect you answered almost non of my questions. I was expecting you will elaborate a little bit further but anyways..

What if i show my face, have an intro with dialog and/or text explaning things..? In other words.. WTF can i do to guarantee monitization??

[@VEEDCREATORS]

Everything I have to say on this topic is in the video - there's no way to guarantee monetisation. I don't have access to what KZbin thinks, therefore all I can tell you is that many users with relaxing sound channels do not get monetised in 2022. In my opinion, having an intro with dialogue/text etc sounds like it COULD be more possible - but again, I CANNOT give you a guarantee!

they make it easier said than done but i feel with a bit of work you could definitely carve a niche. with your channel, the thumbnails were inconsistent. the good ones performed much better than the half-done black photo with text. all the videos are also random. i've noticed the largest channels have been around for close to 10 years and caught on the trend early. the newer ones that are succeeding look very calculated and do things a specific way. the videos are certain lengths ('angel numbers like 11:11:11 etc), thumbnails done certain way, they even run bots to leave positive affirmations in the comments (including some from "doctors"). stuff like that is important because most people watching these videos struggle in mental health and genuinely feel good seeing things of that sort. i think most people's problem is they are simply looking out for themselves (how can i make money quick) instead of focusing on who they are serving. they want to put in minimum work and get a result. after a month of posting you should have a base to study and figure out where to go from there, not quit. now obviously the original content and demonization is something to worry about, but i'm sure there's way around it (actually putting in effort)

Ohhhh my god I’m so happy to find your video 😊thanks

[@EnchantedDreamscapes8]

I made my channel like a month ago and i got my 1000 subcribers and the 4000 hrs of watching time and i apply for the ad sense account and they denied it because they say i cant reuse sound even if they are royalty free i dont have any copyright issues in my videos so i don’t understand im so sad because i was very exited i got to the 1000 subcribers very quickly but naah 😢 so what can i do?

[@MelodicEgghead]

Can someone help me with this question please? I'm working on a second channel where I specifically make music on my own and would like to have it where the screen fades to black in like 10 seconds and then have it run for 10 hours. Since I'm making the music on my own by playing on my keyboard and recording it into audacity and editing it together putting it to a specific Hertz or whatever, do you think I will get monetized? I understand lack of originality visually, but that's only because I don't want light emitting from people's phones, laptops, etc so that they can fall asleep. KZbin's response might be that if people are falling asleep, why should there be ads on a video that people aren't going to be awake to see, and my response to that would be well don't put ads in between the videos, put it at the start of the video and then the person could skip the ad and fall asleep to the music, or if people don't click the ad, then don't charge the advertiser unless an ad is clicked. But I'm pretty sure with my creative music skills, I can get to a thousand subscribers and 4,000 hours worth of watch time eventually, and would like to make money off of it, but if all else fails, I still really do care about helping people fall asleep, which is a big goal for me, and I would like to put a smile on one person's face if I can, and that would mean I won, but it would also be nice to get paid for that hard work so if I don't get monetized, I could still technically put a GoFundMe page or something in the description and say hey, would you mind funding my hard work? Because my main goal is to get rich so I can then help homeless people and sick people etc, and I would like to make passive income doing the things I love like music and acting etc but currently have my main channel and also trying to make the second channel as well as working for cryptocurrencies doing marketing like CDS, which I invested a lot of money into because I have a lot of faith into it and believe that that will be my main source of being rich. But other passive income like the second KZbin channel would be nice, but I feel like I'm putting so much work into making these tracks, I would feel really bummed if they don't monetize me even though I made the music myself, cuz then for that matter I would just film myself playing the background tracks, and then instead of black screen it would be me playing it for 10 hours straight by looping myself or whatever and then it would be completely original right in terms of both audio and visuals and there you go, but I'll have to figure that out when I get there as I would like to have at least 50 tracks or 50 videos before I even create the channel. Thank you everyone and I love you all and good luck with your channel and I hope you all get amazing success, let's help rebuild this world together

I'm trying to increase subscribers it's not easy but im not giving up!!

[@VEEDCREATORS]

Fair enough!

[@JuliaGtries]

Thank you for this video. I believed it would be just that easy. However, I was toying with the relaxing sound idea or another one and I believe I will go to the more fun option for me.

Somebody is lying bc I went to a monetizer checker and checked Rain channels that were less than a yr old and they were monetized and nothing seemed to original from what I seen.

[@angelocast]

Thank you for sharing this. I was not so wrong when I hear so many music meditation/relaxation channels, the music is soulless and copy pasted. I was right. Nothing against the creators that do this to make money only. I love music and as music composer and music meditation instructor I will go to create original soulfull (and simple) music too. Maybe not everybody will feel the difference but those who can feel it will be truly healed :) Finding the balance of serving, really helping people in the middle of the chaotic world+making tons of money as a result.

[@stateofgrowth8788]

I checked out that channel you made, and maybe it's the thumbnails? In my experience they weren't "clickable" enough for what the video was. Maybe that's the thing?

[@VEEDCREATORS]

Could have been a factor for sure! But I guess that still goes against the idea of this being an "easy money making hack"

[@stateofgrowth8788]

@@VEEDCREATORS Good point

[@technoworld7834]

Hey thanks love this video! I have a doubt. If I do the lofi versions of songs, is it considered original and cannot be monetizable?

[@JohnHenryArchitect]

appreciate the effort and exposition!

[@ganjalite2147]

I think than you need work on it few years constently. And after few years it should be better. I have also similiar type of project, but all original from me, no free sounds, no royalty free videos/pictures. So good luck. All thise guru what you mention are working on niche “how to make money online” - and it is hot niche, bcs everybody need money

[@GistRUs]

What app or software do you use to create the 10 hour videos

[@VEEDCREATORS]

I used Final Cut Pro

[@GistRUs]

@@VEEDCREATORS I use Corel VideoStudio, how easy was it rendering the video considering how large the 10 hours video is

[@VEEDCREATORS]

@@GistRUs It took a very long time to render and export each video - when I added animated rain effects, it took even longer! I just let them export overnight

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

the font you use for your ambient channel us ... horrible. making your veiwers feel like they ahve double vision? i don't think you can write that channel off just yet.

[@jamesbundi1468]

Thanks for the heads up

[@VEEDCREATORS]

You're welcome!

[@bettyeverett8089]

You got some interesting videos that I will check out, but this is an experiment you don't want to repeat. Google wants to see that you are engaging with your audience, comments, feedback. I am all for AI and ChatGPT, but it is not a substitute for real human interaction. I personally don't want to listen to a robotic voice. But that is just my opinion.

[@mikevandenoord502]

And what if you are a meditation music producer? If you create your own music and create your own visuals, can't you still not earn money from it? Because then it's actually a unique creation. Does KZbin also throws this on the big pile of 'relaxing sound videos' that are cut off from earning money from it? I produce this music myself and I'm thinking about ways how to earn money from it. These videos like yours aren't actually motivating

[@ThirdEyeSnacks]

Nothing happens over night (30 days). You have to post for months and years to accumulate the momentum needed to make the money. What you put in the universe is what you get out. Great video!

[@Desolate0000]

I recently started this type of channel. and in 1 week I had over 1.5k views and 150 hours of watch time.

[@pauleliot6429]

just about to do it, my job sucks, but now Ill have to think it over, tho I did not plan to use any ,any, of the regular sounds.
