How I’m Building My Second YouTube Channel

YouTube is monetizing their Shorts program early next year, giving you a massive opportunity to profit off 60-second video content.

While my main Shorts account generates millions of views per month, I’ve recently decided to branch out and build an additional channel. Here’s everything I learned the first time, helping you get a head start on your own YouTube side-hustle.

Entertainment Vs Information

The entertainment field has a far larger audience than anything educational or informative.

Likewise, entertainment content is significantly easier to create.

Off the top of my head, here are three low-cost YouTube Shorts ideas that could easily generate 1–3 million views per month:

1. Cracking geodes open.
2. Panning for gold (there are actually companies that sell bags of paydirt from real goldmines).
3. Playing crane or capsule vending machine games. My local mall has a Pokemon themed capsule game (yes, the capsules look like Pokeballs) and I’m tempted to start a third channel based around this.

Entertainment content doesn’t need high production value, or scripting.
