I followed the advice of one of these UA-cam Gurus on making a relaxation channel. Did all that work only to be knocked back by UA-cam 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 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 UA-cam is not an easy one. I hope this helps you Ricky to get started.
I like that you said the truth. I listened to UA-cam 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 UA-cam channels told us it was.
I can understand the desire to earn a living from UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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😊
I truly appreciate your honesty, Veed. Many people lie about these niches, causing others to spend a lot of time creating content and making no money from it. Thank you so much.
I absolutely appreciate your analysis of the meditation music videos. It is not easy to make money through meditation channels. The only thing that intrigues is the financial performance of some channels that are showing one still picture for 10 Hrs and probably the same music over and over again. I think it's not about the music. It is all about how to do business. So much for the time being. Will follow this video.
I enjoyed this, finely someone real and not just fake waiting for click bait. I'm gonna be subriber number 7 for the music channel just because you're actually hilarious and show real content
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
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. This was a really good insightful video ! Those watch hours are actually very good🙌🏾🎶
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.
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.
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.
I've been publishing videogame/anime/TV series/movies relaxing videos for almost two years, completely aware that this type of content creation cannot be monetized. It's a pity but I quite enjoy making them, and I pour a lot of hours and passion into making them. My only aim for possible income is my donation link. I've not received a single penny so far, but perhaps in the future when my channel has grown large enough. Thanks for the video.
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!
I read a comment here that UA-cam 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 UA-cam ultimately.
@@zengagemotivational Exactly! That is why I am now a specialized Nature videographer that provides Original & exclusive sounds and videos to UA-cam creators in the niche of meditation / relaxation. I have been doing it for 1 year and I am so happy to help people monetize their channels by choosing original content. Contact me if you need original footage!
@@zengagemotivational Your comments have been very helpful. I have no problem creating my own background images but where to get the meditation music from? I know you said to use a pay site but have you found any free sites that let you design quality meditation music or specific frequencies? I have tried SunoAI but it keeps ignoring my prompts of meditation music. Thanks @zengagemotivational !
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.
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.
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.
This is awesome!! Can’t wait to watch your other vids. You totally confirmed my skepticism of all the “$1000 a day” UA-camr claims out there. One question though, how did you post 10 hour videos without being verified at that time and not having 100K subs? I thought startups are limited to 15min uploads until they reach 100K subs? 🤷🏻♂️ thanks!
I don't know if there's a limit before the 10 hour mark, but I recently started a channel with 1 hour long videos, and I had no problems uploading them.
It's crazy to me that people are showing what they want to watch and UA-cam is refusing to monetize. Insane. These people watch these videos over and over
OMG.. your video is so true. I have a relaxing music channel and compose my own music.. getting subscribers is not easy at all. After two years, I only got 282 subscribers. I don’t know if I will ever get to 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours. I agree with you.. it’s almost impossible to monetize with relaxing music. Thanks for putting together the video .. I appreciate it.
What's your channel? I would sub. I want to avoid making the same mistakes if possible. I don't really care about the money but considering I've gotten hundreds of thousands of views on other types of vids I've made and not as much on these.. just want to see what others have done.
@@Nitromedia09 if it were good perhaps. I have multiple channels most of them have a million + views. It's odd though looking at your channel it had 1.5k subs which is pretty good yet only 4 videos with basically no views - am I looking at the right channel?
@@PositiveVibesVids that's the reason why I am selling this channel, i randomly uploaded 1 Shorts video of k pop artists and that video wet viral 209k views, i didn't thought that but the problem is now I am uploading videos and have almost no views, i thought I can make this channel successful by giving it good niche. But the result is in front of you, i am totally confused 😕.
Good lord. My brother really wanted to try this, but some comments from the comments section from the videos of those "gurus" you mentioned were all like, "Nope. It's actually NOT that simple". *siiiiiiiigh*😞 I figured. I'll still work with some vids to see, but thank you so much for clearing some info up for me😅
Glad to help! Unfortunately, many creators make these videos about "easy money making channels" based on other videos on the same topic - they don't actually try it themselves
@@VEEDCREATORS Thanks for the quick reply! Question: let's say, hypothetically, I create an "Ambient Video" with my own OG photo & audio, and I reach the quoted number of subs & hours litened to to "make it rain" 🌧 🤑 Would UA-cam count that as content acceptable for monetization??? Thanks! Sorry for the bother😅
@@galacticarchangel No bother at all! It's a hard question to answer, because I don't know how UA-cam sees it - but to me, it seems more likely that this would get you monetised because it's fully original content
did you add ad-sense to your meditation videos ? thanks for the video its really good and truth comes from it.. and if you do not make money in 2 years from now we know the truth its all about sending you to the course at the end. Hype is Everywhere now everyone's posting hype to get you to click on there links to make them referrals however your UA-cam channel will be on top even more now talking about money methods..
Thank you for showing the reality! There are way too many people online telling others how to make money online without doing it themselves. One thing though: There is a big difference between a meditation and a relaxing sound video. That's why the videos you showed as examples didn't claim to be mediation videos.
This video is really interesting. It is truly best to do videos that you would do for your own practice. Here I practice yoga daily and I needed videos that could help me with the practice. Same for exercise or meditation.
It's not my meditation , relaxing music channel has been up for 2 yrs at 28 subs and 500 watch hours. I gave up but now am going back to fix it up and add more videos.. cannot even find my channel except through my 1st channel being subscribed it's so not on radar.. 😅 Thank you for this advice video , very helpful
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
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.
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!
recently started a channel, i am new to it and i honestly do not care if it will go or it wont, good luck to all of you who is starting a channel with me!
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)
@@VEEDCREATORS No my current channel lol. It took me way over a month to get close to being monetized. I dont know of much channels who get monetized in one month. its rare.
Very informative video, thank you. I'm wondering, how do some channels get monetized if UA-cam doesn't play ads in their videos ? (ads get in the way of the relaxing experience)
@@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
You definitely can't use the same things other people are using for sure and it's a long haul period especially if you are new! Hopefully, you use all free tools and don't spend a fortune on tools and then don't make a dime!
I've read from google forum itself, that relaxing and meditation music video can no longer be monetized since late of 2019. They said it's because UA-cam doesn't want advertiser money get wasted on videos where people just open to hear, and instead of watching the content...because you know, those who don't watch the video are not ads audiences for obvious reason. In my opinion, that move of UA-cam is make perfect sense. I wonder though, why the hell did i still see ads whenever i open meditation and relaxing music video now in 2022. Did UA-cam let some older channels go continue monetizing their sound only videos, or did UA-cam continue on monetizing those vids without giving those channel a share of the ads profit??
You are exactly right - if channels were monetized before 2019 (like Relaxing White Noise for example), they can continue to earn adsense from their videos. Could you please send me the link to that Google forum? It would be interesting to read
Actually I read an article from UA-cam management that they can put ads even ur channel still not monetize yet..so proba bly it's possible 😔, they can run ads they can on ur vid without u earning..
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?
You can choose where the ads go but usually UA-cam will show them before and after the video. Or the video is a few hours long, then they can show them in what they call 'midroll' so in the middle somewhere or several times throughout the video. But if you are trying to get people to relax and an ad turns up halfway, then thats not a good thing so you would turn that feature off.
@@wingchun67 It depends how they have se their channels up. Maybe some of them turn ads off completely as they don't want ads in any shape or form. They probably make money in other ways or they just do i because they want to help people.
I followed the advice of one of these UA-cam Gurus on making a relaxation channel. Did all that work only to be knocked back by UA-cam for monetisation due to lack of originality.

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
hey can you make a video how you make ur videos ! keep it up the good work bro :)
Well I am doing the same experiment and seem to be doing very well, I am making my own music now and create the videos from scratch 🙃 😅 🙂
I hope it works out for you!
@@VEEDCREATORS thanks
I am thinking about uploading a couple of 8 hour meditation videos, to get the 4k hours is it a good idea?
Well done, thank you for the heads up. I have subscibed your channel too.
Hey veed.. please give me a advise.. after watching my videos. Should i continue or not ? 😮
I am your 1,000th subscriber
Thanks Warren!! Amazing!
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.
What kind of computer did you use to make your videos?
Is there a follow up of this one? :) cheers!!
I'm subscriber #14!
Wooo thanks!
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!
recently started a channel, i am new to it and i honestly do not care if it will go or it wont, good luck to all of you who is starting a channel with me!
Thanks for saving our time ❤
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)
The channels that have been around for 10 years are successful because they were allowed to be monetised - that’s the main reason.
@@VEEDCREATORS or because they've been posting the content for 10 years straight
@@pj-hs7pk Partly. They got monetised BEFORE UA-cam blacklisted this style of channel, so that obviously helps them
@@VEEDCREATORS how do you explain the newer channels ? are they not monetized?
@@pj-hs7pk Nope. I say that in this video. UA-cam doesn't monetise Relaxing Channels
Wow! I must be doing something right! ❤
Thank you quite informative 👍
Took me years of being consistent to get my channel where it is. 1 month is not going to do it obviously
You managed to monetise a relaxing sounds channel?
@@VEEDCREATORS No my current channel lol. It took me way over a month to get close to being monetized. I dont know of much channels who get monetized in one month. its rare.
Yes that’s true - this video is about people who say it’s “easy” to create a relaxation channel to make money online. I say it’s not easy.
And what about doing UA-cam shorts with copyright Free music
Thanks for the info ❤
ya my buddy had the same thing happen. reused content. but we found a way around it
What was your solution?
@@VEEDCREATORS I can’t mention on here but I can tell u off yt
@@VEEDCREATORS but you can get monetized within less than 30 days for starters
@@kiodiekin I want to get into this, would you be willing to share with me how you got around it?
how? Thank you Kio!
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.
Very informative video, thank you.
I'm wondering, how do some channels get monetized if UA-cam doesn't play ads in their videos ?
(ads get in the way of the relaxing experience)
Hey thanks for this. Very realistic
With Famester you can surely monetize them at a gallop.
How long did it take?
Bot bitch
@@jarredmacquoid7688 , wow, Charlotte never replied back to you ??? That right there says a lot.
@@andrecummings13 bro its not that serious 😭
I want to start a channel like "Lofi Girl" I will use my own composed music. will it monetize?
Yes, because it is your own original content
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?
What is the expansion for Chrome to see UA-cam video Tags like here 3:50
I tried with similar channels and nothing, after a year and a half nothing, the video is not shown to anyone, I note that I record the video myself.
Great video,,thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What if you use all your own content?
very useful. thank you
It wouldn't let me upload a long video on UA-cam
Did you verify your account?
Can we monetize top 10 videos channel??
Great question, I'm not 100% - but as along as you have no copyright or community strikes, then maybe!
how did you upload 10 hour videos?
Did it take all day to upload?
Can you help me please?
What app or software do you use to create the 10 hour videos
I used Final Cut Pro
@@VEEDCREATORS I use Corel VideoStudio, how easy was it rendering the video considering how large the 10 hours video is
@@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
Thanks. You saved me from making the same mistake and wasting mega hours posting reuse content. Thanks (BTW - Darth Vader Sent Me☢)
You're welcome!
You definitely can't use the same things other people are using for sure and it's a long haul period especially if you are new! Hopefully, you use all free tools and don't spend a fortune on tools and then don't make a dime!
oh yeah hope we all make it...
Did you watch the experiment? haha
@@VEEDCREATORS yes its helps
@@VEEDCREATORS pls subscribe also hahaha... I love your videos
What if I make my own videos from scrath from blender tutorial? Will youtube accept that?
I've read from google forum itself, that relaxing and meditation music video can no longer be monetized since late of 2019. They said it's because UA-cam doesn't want advertiser money get wasted on videos where people just open to hear, and instead of watching the content...because you know, those who don't watch the video are not ads audiences for obvious reason. In my opinion, that move of UA-cam is make perfect sense.
I wonder though, why the hell did i still see ads whenever i open meditation and relaxing music video now in 2022. Did UA-cam let some older channels go continue monetizing their sound only videos, or did UA-cam continue on monetizing those vids without giving those channel a share of the ads profit??
You are exactly right - if channels were monetized before 2019 (like Relaxing White Noise for example), they can continue to earn adsense from their videos. Could you please send me the link to that Google forum? It would be interesting to read
Actually I read an article from UA-cam management that they can put ads even ur channel still not monetize yet..so proba bly it's possible 😔, they can run ads they can on ur vid without u earning..
thanks a lot for the video
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?
Could have been a factor for sure! But I guess that still goes against the idea of this being an "easy money making hack"
@@VEEDCREATORS Good point
How do those channels even monitize the vids as I don’t see any ads on them
You can choose where the ads go but usually UA-cam will show them before and after the video. Or the video is a few hours long, then they can show them in what they call 'midroll' so in the middle somewhere or several times throughout the video. But if you are trying to get people to relax and an ad turns up halfway, then thats not a good thing so you would turn that feature off.
@@zengagemotivational yea but these channels have no ads at all neither the start or end or middle
@@wingchun67 It depends how they have se their channels up. Maybe some of them turn ads off completely as they don't want ads in any shape or form. They probably make money in other ways or they just do i because they want to help people.
What so even if i create the music myself i can't monetize?😮
What about creating music with AI?
These are supposed to be relaxing videos, so you wouldn't put ads in the middle. Are ASMR channels just placing ads at the beginning of the videos?
The astronaut thing did not work with me :(
Damn :(
You can monetize it in other ways. You can add a call out at the very beginning of the video that goes to a related affiliate product.
