And now let's go ahead and jump into the video.

So before we jump into the five tips,

to give you a little background and history

of my journey on UpWork as a freelancer,

I started in May of 2016 and since then,

I've made nearly $400,000 across 70 different client jobs

and also worked more than 5,300 hours.

I recently flew out to UpWorks headquarters

in San Francisco, I got to meet some really great people

and I'm a huge believer in the platform

especially moving forward into the future

giving you the flexibility to make your own schedule,

control your pay and take advantage

of all the amazing opportunities that exist on UpWork,

and my goal is to be an example of that for you,

to show you what is possible if you put the work in,

what is possible pay-wise,

being able to build your online brand,

your online portfolio, the opportunities are endless

if you're willing to take advantage of them

and put the work in.

So before we jump into the five tips

to help you get your first job on UpWork as a freelancer,

the first thing that you obviously need is a great profile.

So if you don't have a great profile yet,

you just started, you haven't put the time

in to making it great, be sure to watch my last video

which focuses on UpWork top rated tips

and one big section of that video,

I focus on profile, I go through my entire profile,

explain what I did to create it

and you really need to go through that first

before watching this video.

So if you haven't watched that yet,

go ahead and click on the card at the top of screen here,

it's gonna link you to my last video

so you can go through that, get your profile looking great

and attractive before you jump into these steps.

So now let's go ahead and dive into tip number one

which is find the right jobs using advanced search.

There are literally millions of jobs on UpWork

so it's vital that you're finding the right jobs,

applying for the right jobs that fit your skillset,

your knowledge and what you can provide

value with to clients.

So what we're gonna look at now is advanced search

which I highly recommend

that you use when finding jobs on UpWork.

So when you're on the Find Work tab of UpWork,

click on the Advanced Search option

which is right below the Search For Jobs text box.

This is gonna give you different options

that you can fill in to do your advanced search.

The one that I would recommend

is where it says Any of These Words

or it can be All These Words but Any of These Words,

I'm gonna enter in SQL which applies

to specific jobs that I bid on and that I work on myself.

So I'm gonna type in SQL,

you would enter in something for yourself.

If you're in graphic design,

enter in graphic design for instance.

Type that in and then hit Search.

So as you can see, now we're in the Advanced Search,

we have SQL typed in as the keyword that we're looking for

and what we can do now

is we can click on the Filters button right here

and this is gonna give us a lot of other options

that we can include in our search.

So these other options include job type, hourly or fixed.

I wouldn't really limit that in your search initially

when you're trying to get your first job,

keep both of them in there

'cause you're gonna wanna see both types of jobs.

Then you have experience level

which includes entry level, intermediate, and expert.

So the price, the hourly rate,

the overall budget for the job

usually correlates directly to the experience level

so you can see entry level has one dollar sign,

intermediate has two dollar signs

and expert has three dollar signs.

We're not gonna limit that right now

but I usually do currently

because what I do is I limit all my searches

to expert or intermediate, not usually mainly just expert

because hourly rates for intermediate

are gonna drop off below what I charge

so usually expert level.

But to get your first job,

we're gonna leave all of them selected

so we can take a look at them.

On Client History, we're gonna leave it

as Any Client History because personally

I've had a lot of jobs

where I was their first freelancer on UpWork

and some of those have turned into big clients

so I'm not gonna limit that.

Client Info, Payment Verified is probably one

that we want to select especially for your initial job

because the new clients that aren't payment verified yet,

if you're bidding on their jobs,

one thing you would have to do

is before they actually hired you,

you have to tell them you know,

go ahead and make your account payment verified

to make sure that they can actually pay you.

So to prevent you from having to go

through that process initially

when you're trying to get your first job,

we're gonna filter that out.

Number of Proposals is definitely one

that I would consider very important

when you're trying to get your first job

on UpWork as a freelancer.

If you look at the 20 to 50 proposal range,

if you've been on that,

it's probably gonna be a waste your time,

it may not be but 99% of the time

is probably gonna be a waste your time

because clients are gonna look

through the different proposals,

they're gonna see all these other freelancers

that have a big history on UpWork built up

and yours is probably gonna get skipped all in that mix.

So for this Advanced Search,

we're gonna include the less than five proposal range.

Five to 10 and then 10 to 15 as well.

Next for budget we're gonna leave it open at any budget.

If you already had a history built up on UpWork,

then you only want to apply to certain jobs

that have a certain level of a budget,

then you can include that here in the Advanced Search.

We're gonna leave it open since this is your first job,

you're trying to get on UpWork

so we're gonna leave that as Any Budget.

On Hours Per Week, you don't wanna limit that,

leave it as Any Hours Per Week

and then Project Length as well,

leave it as Any Project Length.

So when you're going through

and applying filters to your search,

you don't have to hit search again or anything like that,

it's dynamic and it's automatically

going to update the listing of jobs that you're seeing.

Before we dive in and look at some of the job listings

that popped up based on our advanced search,

what we can do now is we can also save this search

where we can quickly use it again in the future.

So I'm just gonna click on Save Search

which is this button right here

and we'll type in first job and click Save.

So be able to see this on our main five jobs screen

so that we can quickly click on it

next time we're looking for a job on UpWork.

So now with all of our filters applied,

we can take a look at jobs that met our filters.

So what we'll do now is scroll down

and take a look at a few of these jobs.

So these jobs met all the filters,

they have the SQL keyword included in them as well.

This one right here is one I bid on,

I was trying to get my first job on UpWork as a freelancer.

It has an overall fixed budget price of $50

which is low but you want to get

some reviews under your belt, get some five-star reviews,

this is one I have a lot of experience with

in high availability for SQL server.

It's one that I know I can deliver five-star value on

so this is one that I would bid on initially

to get my first job on UpWork,

get a great review under my belt

and start building up client trust.

So then again scrolling down looking at all the other jobs,

you can see that all of these are meeting our filters,

they're jobs that we would want to bid on initially

when trying to get our first job,

they all have a low amount of proposals,

I've been applying to them, they're really new jobs,

and they're ones that meet all the filters that we applied.

We're now ready to dive into tip number two

which is apply quick.

Applying to jobs quickly is gonna get your proposal

ranked higher in their list of proposals.

They're gonna be able to see your proposal

ranked towards the top because there are gonna be

very little amount of proposals that have been sent in

for that specific job.

And most often, after clients post their job,

they're gonna look at the initial proposals

that are coming in from freelancers.

I know this because I have a freelance employer account,

I used it to hire my video editor for YouTube

and after I submitted my job on UpWork,

I found myself paying attention to the freelancers

that were bidding quickly,

I took a look at their work history,

not even just their UpWork history but the jobs they listed

as their previous jobs of employment,

I took a look at those,

any type of samples of work they submitted as well

and then I short-listed the freelancers that I liked a lot.

So I'm not recommending that you only focus on new jobs,

I'm just recommending that you apply to those jobs first

because that's gonna give you the best chance

to get a client to start interacting with you

and message you about their job.

So to make sure those are appearing

at the top of your advanced search,

we've already done one thing to do that

and that is to list the number of proposals

to limit it to less than five, five to 10, 10 to 15.

Those are typically gonna be new jobs

that are gonna fall within that filter.

The second thing is to make sure the sort is on newest.

So there's different types of sorting that you can do,

the main thing is to make sure it's on newest,

it's gonna place the newest jobs at the top of your list.

Now with the number of proposal filters set up

and we have the sort on newest,

we can scroll down and we can start seeing the jobs

that were just recently posted.

So this one it's an interesting job flag,

that's the reason it's here, it's five days ago.

The only reason it's appearing on the top of the list

'cause it's this interesting job flag

that UpWork uses to place certain jobs

at the top of your list so it is older

but that's all the reason it's appearing there.

Now if we start looking at the other jobs,

you can see this Azure expert one

was only posted 16 minutes ago,

45 minutes ago, 50 minutes ago,

look at this, less than five proposals,

less than five proposals,

five to 10 when you start getting into an hour ago,

less than five, that's why I'm recommending

that you apply to jobs quickly.

There's gonna be a low amount of proposals

and your proposal has a better chance of being seen

by the client when there's a very small amount of proposals

that have been submitted for their job.

Now we're ready to jump in to tip number three

which is write proposals to attract clients.

In addition to bidding on jobs quickly,

it's also vitally important

that you're writing attractive proposals

to convince the client to hire you

even though you're a new freelancer

without any reviews or any feedback,

you need to convince the client to hire you

over freelancers that do have feedback and previous history,

so your proposal is something

that's very important and doing that.

So even though I personally think

my proposals were absolutely horrible

when I first started and yours won't be that great either

and you're gonna continuously improve

your proposals over time,

we're gonna take a look at my first proposal

that helped me obtain

my first job on UpWork as a freelancer.

So I got my first job on UpWork as a freelancer

on May 31st of 2016.

So what we're gonna do

is we're gonna look at this specific job,

see what I used my proposal that helped

give me the job over other freelancers

so let's dive into that now.

For this first job that I obtained on UpWork,

I worked a little bit over 41 hours

and made a little bit over $1,000 as well.

And honestly that exceeded my expectations

of my first job on UpWork.

I was very happy to make what I made on that

and then work the amount of hours

that I got on that job as well.

So the first important thing that I did

and something you definitely need to do

is read the job description fully.

So I read through the job description,

I found out that it was a job related to updating a database

which is definitely in my wheelhouse of my skills that I do

so I read the job description fully,

made sure it was something that I should be bidding on

and then also checked out,

made sure it was payment verified

which is gonna happen from the filter

that I showed you how to apply earlier

and the client reviews were also great as well

so this client has really good reviews from freelancers

giving them reviews and honestly that type of review

definitely fits this client,

was one of my best clients that I've worked with

and that's something to definitely pay attention to.

Make sure that you're gonna start out with a client

that's at least a four to five star client.

You don't want to start out

with any less than that initially

because you want your first job to be a good one.

You wanna get a great review, you wanna work with a client

that's gonna communicate well

and notice what they're doing on UpWork

and it's going to be fair.

So make sure that you're at least working with a client

that has four to five star reviews on your first job.

After reading the job description fully,

making sure it's something that I should be applying to,

it's something that's in my skillset,

something that applies to my expertise,

I would then submit my cover letter or proposal.

So now we're going to tear through my proposal

on the first job that I obtained on UpWork.

We're gonna look at things that I did poorly

but also look at things that I did well

that helped get me the job.

I started out listing the SQL server DBA role that I was in,

the extensive experience that I have

with the different versions of SQL server

and then I went into some daily duties and tasks

that I performed routinely.

I probably would have left all these out,

they're definitely not in the proposals that I submit now,

these are kind of fluff

and they just aren't really needed for this type of proposal

so this whole section here I would have excluded.

This section up here is good, I would leave that in there,

I have something similar to that now,

it's definitely different

because I have a few different roles,

especially jobs that I apply to on UpWork,

so this is a little bit different but very similar.

But from here to down to right here,

that would completely be gone,

this is not needed and should be excluded from my proposal.

As an alternative to this section

that I just recommended that be removed,

what I would have done is included something specific

to their description.

So their job description was related to updating a database

so I would have went through, figured out some type of job

or task that I had previously

where I did some database updates and I would have included

something specific to that in this section.

So now my mindset is to dive

into their specific job description

and give something from my experience

that relates directly to it

in that section that I just recommended that we remove.

And now if we scroll down a little bit,

this last section is probably what helped me obtain

my first job on UpWork.

So in this last section, I started out by stating

that I was just beginning my freelancing career on UpWork,

however, you can review my five star ratings,

outstanding reviews and 100% completion rate

on my Freelancer.com profile.

So I initially started out on Freelancer.com,

I initially started there, did a few jobs,

so I included that in my proposal to show them

that I had great reviews on Freelancer.

I didn't have many,

I only did like you know like five jobs or so

but I had some good reviews on there

so I included that in here.

That's not exactly what I think got me the job,

it's the next section down.

Let's read over this last section.

I can assure you that if you work with me once,

you will always work with me on these kinds of projects.

I will do whatever it takes to completely

100% deliver on this project

and earn a five star rating from you as well.

This last section not only displays my confidence

and my ability to deliver on this project

and do it successfully but it also gives them

a sense of my work ethic,

the work that I'm willing to put into this job

because I'm willing to do whatever it takes

to get a five star review from them,

I'm going to over-deliver and exceed any expectations

they have for me as a freelancer.

And that's vitally important, on your first job,

your mindset has to be that you're going to over-deliver,

whatever's expected of you, you're gonna go beyond that

no matter if you have to work more hours

than you initially wanted to.

If it's a fixed price, you're gonna be putting more hours in

than you want to based on the budget for the job.

You have to be willing to over-deliver

to exceed their expectations.

So be sure to use everything I gave you in this tip

to help you write a proposal

to get your first job on UpWork as a freelancer

and also check out my previous video,

I'm going to link another card above.

Check out that video,

it's geared more towards my current proposals

but that will give you a sense

of what I'm doing right now for my proposals

so that once you're able to get your first jobs,

you can move on and gear your proposals

towards different clients.

And again, I'll keep repeating it, over-deliver.

Over-delivering is gonna get you reviews like this one.

A good five star review,

great feedback that looks great on your profile

and stands out when other clients come to your profile

and they start checking out your reviews

that you have in your history.

Now let's move into tip number four

which is nail your interview.

So after you've attracted a client with your cover letter,

you've got them to message you about their job,

the next thing I recommend doing

is jumping on a call with them,

a quick call to further discuss their job in more detail

and identify how your skillset can best fit them

and their job and help them be successful.

So if you look at my current cover letters,

this wasn't in the one that we just looked at

from my older cover letters

but be sure to include this in yours

because here's what I stated.

Please let me know when you'd be available

for an initial 15 to 30 minute call free of charge

so that we can discuss your project in more detail

and identify how my skillset will work best for you.

This is definitely something that I recommend

that you include at the bottom of your cover letter,

it's worked very well for me.

For clients that are interested in hiring me,

when I use this at the bottom of my cover letter,

they always reach out to me to ask me

when I would be available

for the initial 15 to 30 minute call,

it makes them feel like I'm really interested

in their project and it gives me a chance

to better portray my skills to them

to give them another reason to hire me

over other freelancers.

So just word this last part however you want to word it,

you can change it around, you know,

I'm not telling you to copy and paste

what I'm using obviously

but word it the way that you want to word it

to attract them to get on an initial call with you

that will help you secure their job.

So for this specific job proposal that I submitted,

it's for one of my clients that I've done a lot of work for,

one of my best clients.

If we scroll down to look at their first message to me

after I submitted my proposal, they wrote,

hi Joshua, do you have time to discuss tomorrow 10AM EST?

So they initially sent me the message

after they saw my proposal,

saw the last line that I included about the initial call,

their first message to me was to ask me

if I was gonna be available the next day

to get on a call with them.

Some other items of advice to nail your first interview

would be to do your homework,

read over the job description more before the call,

make sure you know what you're going to say,

how you're going to portray yourself to them

to provide value to them and completing their job

or their project successfully and be professional.

Make sure even the way that you're typing on UpWork

in the messaging feature,

you're portraying yourself in a professional manner

and do the same for your interview.

A lot of these clients may end up

wanting to also get on a video call with you

so make sure that you know

I'm not saying dress professionally you know,

it's UpWork, you're working from home,

that's one of the best features of UpWork,

but make sure that you look

like you didn't just wake out of bed five minutes ago,

make sure that you at least

are portraying yourself in a professional manner

and presenting yourself well.

Don't just roll out of bed, get on a call,

on a video call with the client,

make sure that you're preparing yourself

for that aspect of it as well.

And now let's dive in to tip number five

which is never give up mentality.

So when you're working hard to get your first job on UpWork,

you're putting in the time,

you're working hard on your proposals, your cover letters,

submitting a lot of them

and gearing them specifically to client's jobs

and you're still not hearing back from any clients,

don't give up.

I remember my first days on UpWork like it was yesterday.

I was submitting a lot of proposals for jobs,

my proposals weren't great obviously,

they were a work in progress,

I was submitting a lot of them,

not hearing back from any clients.

Trust me, I realize it gets discouraging

to make you almost want to give up.

I've been there, I know exactly how you feel

if you're in that situation at the moment

but push through it.

Be sure to look inward, look at what you're doing

or what you can do differently to get your first job.

I see too many freelancers complaining

that they can't get jobs on UpWork

because other freelancers bid lower than them price-wise,

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

I see too much of that, it's not true.

I have the job history to back it up,

I continuously get new jobs to back it up

and they're just not putting in the work,

they're not using the filters,

they're not looking at the right types of jobs

or applying for the right types of jobs either.

So again, the early days on UpWork and freelancing,

I've been there, I've submitted tons of proposals

and not heard back from any clients.

However, don't give up

because you're going to hear back from clients.

The more proposals you submit,

someone is going to select you, it's going to happen.

So you just have to stay focused, keep submitting proposals,

don't give up because someone is going to like you

and they're going to contact you.

And you never know, you may think it's gonna be

some little job that you're gonna do, I've had those,

I've had jobs that I submitted proposals for,

I've got the job and I'm like okay,

this is gonna be a smaller job to complete quickly,

something that'll be good for me to have.

But then it's turned into something long-term,

they've reached out to me to ask me

if I could work with them more

on different types of projects

and some of those that I thought

were gonna be very small jobs initially,

turned out to be some of my biggest jobs

that I've made some of the most money on on UpWork.

I'm confident that if you follow the tips from this video,

you will get your first job on UpWork as a freelancer

and if you've already had your first job on UpWork,

be sure in the comments section below

to list the date that your first job started on UpWork.

[DE|ENG] Subnautica - How to get the Stalker Teeth | Pirscherzahn bekommen - Duration: 2:47.

Hey guys and welcome to a Subnautica tutorial.

Today i'm gonna show you how you can get

the Stalker Tooth.

And to that...

first of all here is the

escape pod

and to get the Stalker Tooth...

to make it a little bit easier...

we first looking for some

scrap metal.

Here is already the first one

We can take it to make it a little bit easier.

You will see.

And by the way i will swim

in this direction behind the Aurora.

And while I'm swimming there

im looking for more

titanium (scrap metal)

Here is already the next one.

Actually the more you have the easier it gets.

Here is a third one.

And now we have to swim over here

until we find seaweed.

Exactly here.

Here we already have seaweed.

And now we have to look for a Stalker.

And there is already one up here.

And now here we drop

the titanium (scrap metal) that we collected.

Where he is?

Now he is after me...

The meaning is that the Stalker

wants to play with the scrap metal.

He will take it between the teeth

like now.

Then he will swim a little bit with it

And when he drops it

there is a small chance that he

also will drop the tooth.

Now we have to observe that quite a while.

Sometimes it will take a bit longer and sometimes

sometimes it will work at the first or the second time.

One again I bring it to him

drop it near to him

and then he can take it again.

Here he has it again.

He drops it again...

Like I said it can take a quite while until he...

until he drops the tooth.

I drop it in the air again...

so...

and here we already seen it

he took it and already here we have the Stalker Tooth.

He lost it here now.

He already lost it while he was grabbing the scrap metal.

And that is how you get the Stallker Tooth.

Here again the Stalker Tooth which you

can use. (for recipes)

And...

that's it already.

I hope I could help you with this video.

And...

I would be glad if you are back next time.

Until then...

bye and see you next time!

Breaking News Today - Authorities told to 'get a grip' as up to 28 migrants in three boats caught tr - Duration: 12:46.

As many as 28 migrants, in three different vessels, have been picked up since midnight trying to make the crossing from France to the UK

Nine migrants, including three children, were detained in Kent last night after crossing the English Channel in a dinghy

Eleven more were rescued by the French at midnight sixteen miles off Calais, and as many as eight were picked up by Border Force in a small boat off Dover this morning

It brings the total number of people caught trying to come into the UK illegally over the Christmas period to seventy

RNLI Lifeboats were scrambled at 12.45am today to reports that a small RIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat) was in the water off the coast of Folkestone

A coastguard helicopter from Lydd in Kent illuminated the scene by searchlight helping RNLI volunteers from Littlestone lifeboat station find the 13ft boat, which by the time they arrived was ashore at Sandgate, just west of Folkestone

Charlie Davies, operations manager of RNLI Littlestone, told MailOnline that his crew found the dinghy on the beach, adding: 'The persons on the rib had gone ashore, and were apprehended by Border Force and Kent Police'

Initial reports had suggested that there were 11 people on board, but the Home Office confirmed they attended to nine - five adult males, one adult female, two male minors, and one female minor

They are being processed in line with the Immigration Rules.Additionally, eleven migrants were rescued by French authorities in a small boat which was spotted by passenger ships in French waters off Calais around midnight

The French coastal authority, the Maritime Prefecture of the English Channel and North Sea, said a Patrolman of Gendarmerie (PCG) boat, the Athos, was sent to rescue the migrants

She located their semi-rigid boat 15 nautical miles north west of Calais.The Athos recovered eleven adults including five in a state of hypothermia at 1:45am and received further assistance once docked in Boulogne

Then at 8.35am, Kent Police received calls that a number of people had been seen on the shore near Shakespeare Cliff in Dover

The Home Office confirmed that a small boat was identified at Dover and Border Force were attending to the incident

The Press Association reported up to eight migrants were spotted on the craft, which was spotted by passengers on the Spirit of Britain ferry

MailOnline has approached the Home Office for comment.Two days ago, on Christmas Day, 40 migrants were rescued in the Channel as they tried to reach the UK

A further five people presented themselves at Dover police station on Christmas Day, saying they were Iranian and had arrived by boat, which police found later

And three more would-be migrants were picked up from a small boat off the coast of Dover just after midnight on Boxing Day

Now Charlie Elphicke, Conservative MP for Dover, has demanded that ministers 'get a grip' on Christmas crossings

He said: 'With well over 100 migrants having broken into Britain in recent weeks the [Home Office and National Crime Agency] need urgently to explain what they are doing to put a stop to these crossings

'This is an incredibly dangerous crossing to make in the middle of winter.Our volunteer lifeboat crews are being called out nearly every day

'The British and French authorities must get a grip and find and stop the traffickers

before there is a tragedy.' Yesterday the Home Office confirmed three people men were picked up from a small boat off the coast of Dover just after midnight

They claimed to be Iranian and had been rescued by French authorities and then handed over to Border Force agents

The trio were due to be interviewed by immigration officials yesterday, joining five groups of people including children taken into custody on Christmas Day

One boat carrying nine people suffered an engine failure shortly after leaving France

Fortunately the migrants were rescued by French authorities.The Home Office confirmed that five groups of migrants, mostly Iraqi, Iranian and Afghani, arrived in the country on December 25

One group of eight migrants, including a young girl arrived in Folkestone, Kent at around 2

40am.Border Force officials spotted a dinghy off the coast of Deal, Kent shortly before 7am carrying 13 people including a child

A Border Force cutter was sent to the Channel to intercept a dingy carrying seven men and a woman at around 5

50am.The migrants were offered medical attention before being interviewed by immigration officials

Officials said the children will be placed in the care of social services.Sources told the Daily Telegraph it was believed trafficking gangs were hoping to capitalise on an expected drop in the number of border patrols taking place over the Christmas period

In another incident in French waters, nine migrants were rescued and are now in the UK after the engine of the vessel they were travelling in failed

They have been transferred to the Coastguard to be assessed.Border Force officials were assisted by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency after being called to an incident in the Channel before 9

20am on December 25 involving two people in a small boat travelling towards the UK

All 40 people are now in the UK, the Home Office said.A spokeswoman said: 'Border Force has intercepted a number of boats containing migrants attempting to cross the Channel overnight and this morning, and has deployed resources to deal with these incidents

'The evidence shows there is organised criminal gang activity behind illegal migration attempts by small boats across the Channel

'We are working closely with the French and law enforcement partners to target these gangs, who exploit vulnerable people and put lives at risk

' The Christmas Day crossings follow a number of migrant rescues in recent months involving people trying to travel across the Channel to Britain

One group of migrants was found in a rowing boat about two miles from Dover.In a statement, HM Coastguard said: '[We are] committed to safeguarding life around the seas and coastal areas of this country

'We are only concerned with preservation of life, rescuing those in trouble and bringing them safely back to shore, where they will be handed over to the relevant partner emergency services or authorities

' It comes as more than 150 migrants have been plucked from the English Channel trying to reach Britain since the start of November

Most of those held by police crossing the world's busiest shipping lane from France since November have claimed to be Iranian

It emerged last month that people smugglers are charging migrants up to £13,000 each to cross the Channel by inflatable dinghy

One family of would-be asylum seekers was charged £40,000 for the dangerous night-time sea crossing

So-called 'agents' have already charged families to reach the French coast.Many fly from Iran to countries such as Serbia or Turkey, before being smuggled across borders to make overland journeys across Europe

People traffickers then demand a further fee to get them to British soil.Individuals pay as much as £13,300 a head (15,000 euros) to board rubber dinghies for the freezing night journey

How To Get 5000 Subscribers On YouTube And Become A Local Real Estate Celebrity - Duration: 26:18.

all right what's going on everybody so in today's video we are going to be

going over how to get your first 5,000 subscribers on YouTube and become a

local celebrity I'm here with my brother Matt he kills it on YouTube and I'll

walk around with this guy sometimes and people will come up to him on the street

I'm not joking I'm not even exaggerating whatsoever and people say hey man you're

the video guy I recognize you so it's a pretty valuable skill set to have in

this day and age yeah thanks for having me excited to be here yeah absolutely so

let's get in we're gonna pretty much cover like 10 core concepts about

building your YouTube channel to 5000 subscribers maybe even by the time this

video is edited and published and he might be at 10,000 how many right now

right now I don't really count my subscribers but I'm at sixty-five

hundred and seventy-eight right now I checked my subscribers on a daily hourly

maybe even a minute-by-minute basis sometimes yeah subscriber counts good

and what what I love is the engagement factor about so we're gonna touch on all

of these things and what's most important you haven't the most

subscribers should you have the most content but while we just start off with

what do you want start with let's do this so if you're a new whether you're

doing he has a real estate channel I have a real estate channel so when you

have a real estate channel or any type of channel what would be the first

advice for getting started like just put in content yeah just do it absolutely

just do it so I've been doing videos for four years I started in 2014 it hasn't

taken off until literally like six months or maybe even a year ago now what

I know now I could have taken off a lot quicker but the biggest thing is

consistency so if you put out a video once a month and then like go the whole

month without doing any other videos YouTube is literally gonna think your

account is dead they're gonna think that you've just given up compare that to

once a week which is still a very long time you want to be putting out videos

consistently a couple times per week that shows YouTube that you're engaged

you're producing videos you're producing good content and what's going to end up

happening is YouTube is going to consistently rank your videos higher for

those search terms that you're going for because it sees that you're consistently

putting out videos that's a great point and as far as coming up with ideas for

content it is super-easy so in the real estate

industry let's for example you could just type in any part of real estate

real estate investing being a real estate agent anything and look at the

top videos that come up and then you can get ideas based on those you can

probably come up with a list if you just spend an hour you can probably come up a

list of like a hundred different video ideas and you know when you're getting

started the videos do not have to be perfect I think that's what stops a lot

of people because I was just talking to my friend he wanted to I was so he

should start some type of comedy channel because he's a really funny guy Derek

he's probably gonna watch this video and he thinks that you have to have like a

stage crew you have to have like Hollywood producers and all this stuff

well like when you got started it was just a knife action you don't do iPhones

no I don't do iPhones but he literally could be I didn't even a lower level

than an iPhone guys I literally set up my roommate I was living with like three

roommates at the time I set up a couple of Amazon boxes that they had ordered

now I literally no joke put my laptop on top of cardboard boxes and then I had a

webcam like two feet from my face yeah so the barriers to entry it's now it's

basically 2019 the barriers to entry are this it's literally just holding up a

phone so people are gonna say oh I don't have the right equipment I don't have

the right time I don't have the right this or that you just gotta do it you

just got to do it there's literally no excuses for not doing videos in 2019

yeah and it's um and it's great too because I almost like looking at like

like when I got started and I'm not I have like 5,000 subscribers or anything

like that but you just get better when you do videos so your first like you

just make it goal just to put out 10 videos without any expectation

whatsoever just say like I'm just gonna put out 10 videos and then what you do

is you say okay now I'm gonna start like optimizing I'm gonna start improving now

he's got fancy equipment you know Martin for the Hollywood stuff my goal should

be it just make the video better than the last video the goal is never

perfection if your goal is perfection that's never gonna get it attainable

that should never be a goal for videos or for any other aspect to goal is

action you need to take massive action whether it's in videos or any other part

of your life yeah and once you start doing videos

you'll just get a feel for what you need to do better and it'll just be

fun you'll scuzz if you put out like let's say you just put out your 10 your

first 10 videos where it's just you with an iPhone just saying whatever you're

saying you know one of them might actually start getting a lot of views

and they say oh that's pretty that's pretty cool yeah let's see if I can

increase that and then you'll start doing some of the things we talked about

in this video to get even more views which brings us to the next thing so we

talked about just getting started being consistent putting out a lot of content

the next one would be headlines and thumbnails so why use yeah this is the

big probably one of the biggest things because literally unless you're logan

paul or ty Lopez or grant cardone you don't have half a million followers

that will just you know watch your video because you publish it that's just not

going to happen the way to leapfrog over other pretty other content creators is

you need to literally do your keyword research like Jeff was saying see what

people are talking about research what's going on in the news maybe there's

something going on with Amazon maybe Bitcoin and the stock market are

affecting the real estate market keywords are key you need to understand

what people are searching for unless you have a massive audience your channel

will never grow you're never going to get 5,000 subscribers

unless you're optimizing your keywords yeah yeah as far as SEO search engine

optimization keywords there's actually a lot of tools like weight for example

once we started putting out videos we need to know about search engine

optimization that much me the general idea but there's a lot of tools we use

the tool club vid IQ which basically tells you exactly which keywords you

need to include in your videos to get them ranked high because you want it you

want to know what people are searching you know you can just put out random

videos if you want but yeah unless you have a huge fall and no one's really

gonna care so make sure you do keyword research and that that's there there's

freely available tools you can use Google AdWords as well to see what

people are searching but that's gonna play a huge role yeah literally my first

year of doing business I was focusing on condos in Arlington doing review aspects

videos for different buildings knows great because I knew all the buildings

but you know some of these buildings only had 50 units so think about it how

many people are searching for condos Arlington when there's only 50 units and

you know only a cop will come up for sale

you know I looked in Google and it might have been ten monthly searches right

literally and my brother was like you know you can't like you do that so my

channel never you know hockey-stick up and grew until I open it up and I was

like okay first-time homebuyers where here's a video about that Oh

0% down programs you like think about how many people are searching for buying

a house paired to some you know condo dad you're gonna have just some random

anonymous condo in Arlington or how to buy a house and obviously more people

are searching how to buy a house and some random condo in our election so you

can reach a lot more people build your brand a lot better next up we have the

headlines and thumbnails so when you're making a YouTube video oftentimes you

look at the headline it could be the best video in the world but if it

doesn't have a really catchy headline and it doesn't need to be clickbait some

people go overboard and just make it a little bit to click Beatty yeah but you

need to have an attention-grabbing head like like in a couple ways there's a

couple ways job I'll ask you your panel as well but for me it's like go on CNN

or Fox News and look at those headlines I mean they they can make the most

boring news sound like the whole world is about to explode and everything like

that so news news headlines are actually pretty good but also there's a guy Jay

Abraham so he has a free guide or it's like a PDF you just type in Google on

top 100 headlines you'll see some of the top headlines written by the top highest

paid you know seven-figure earner copywriters in the world and what you

can do is you can just basically model some of their headlines and model the

top marketers headlines you don't want you never want to copy somebody but look

at what other headlines people are doing it and use those as a frame of reference

yeah so the biggest headlines that I've found success with are those oriented at

people's emotions so for example I have one video that has over two hundred

thousand views about first-time homebuyer mistakes like mistakes that

first sale margin I've made first-time homebuyer tips and it might have gotten

like 200 views so if you do something emotionally driven like here's how to

lose a lot of money in besting in real estate here's what not

to do when you're applying for a mortgage someone's like oh my gosh yeah

I exposed you do one video where it's like here's this real estate thing

expose so you know I kind of hate the negative aspect of it but in the video I

go through all right here's the mistake and here's how to correct

yeah because let's say you have one subject you could just make it like just

just some boring headline where it's just like don't do these three things

when buying a house you know and don't do these two things in buying a house

might get some people but let's say you did like shocking mistakes that cost me

a hundred thousand dollars something like that is going to get people's

attention and you're not that's to me that's not really clique baby that's you

know it could be true so what you would really want to optimize that yeah if you

follow up yours you know shocking headline with like literally you know

first-hand experience or laying out the shocking truths about real estate

investing or buying a house it's not clickbait you know if you have a super

super model super underwear or super model in the in that thumbnail and she's

never actually in the video that might be I don't know where he's going with

that but um okay well yes actually some people do that that might not be best

yeah I mean that's best little cliff baby but um okay so the next one we're

going to talk about thumbnails so if thumbnails are actually really important

yeah unless you have a huge following a thumbnail is gonna grab people's

attention and that's just the image that you see on YouTube when you when you

click on a video so why do you say a little bit about that yeah again I'm

emotionally driven so you're making like a crazy face you're smiling you're

giving thumbs downs you have a couple of mo G's here and there and then you have

some text over you know the more text you have the more emojis it might get a

little loud so you know yellow thumbnails orange thumbnails I try to

stay away from that I just try to have a couple quick words on the screen like it

was the first time homebuyer mistakes I might say nine first-time homebuyer

mistakes write short and simply usually less is more you don't just want like a

picture of yourself maybe just giving thumbs up on like home buying tips

like that just a couple words and maybe an image or two yeah absolutely and if

you want some good ideas for thumbnails and really this goes for any part of

YouTube marketing just look at what the top marketers don't look at people like

ty Lopez look at Gary Vaynerchuk look at there's plenty of people that you might

have not even heard of that might have like a hundred thousand followers look

at look at their thumbnails to get ideas and again don't copy them but you can

easily hire people in places like upwork fiverr.com where they just just home

like hey here's a couple thumbnail images that I like make them look like

that and you know it's really enough like five ten bucks really make them

look super professional yeah definitely all right so next up on the list of

optimization how to get 5,000 subscribers you need to plan out your

videos now you don't need to make it like I was never in theater or

filmmaking or anything like that so you don't need to go all out and make it

like an entire movie like second-by-second but you need to have

some type of basic outline right yeah so my goal is to write my script to

memorize my script and then forget all about it and what I mean by that is when

you're watching this video you should not know that I have a script used to

just think that I'm talking casually like we're just having a conversation I

had a coffee shop the moment you see me you know my eyes are reading like I want

to teleprompter or I'm just mechanical in my cadence that's when you're like

okay I'm out there's no connection here so you want to have a script you want to

practice but then when the camera turns on it's just like in the movies you

don't want to know that there's actually a script yeah and what I'm something I

found useful was uh just doing an outline and maybe you write the key

concepts right and then you just have a couple stories of real-life examples and

then some practical tips and that's pretty much all you need to do and

what's great is if you stutter if you miss your mark if you don't say the

right thing awesome just hit record stop the video and then start again so you

don't have to you know the pressure to do it all in one take

you have that opportunity to do it again and honestly guys if you ever go to my

channel this is the first video we've actually done together which is yeah

collab this is pretty big yeah so what Jeff will do is I go viral

yeah he'll link my son he'll link my channel in the description below but

most of my videos each scene takes like three or four takes before it's up to my

standards to publish that video he's always trying to pitch his channel to

people yeah okay so next up we have editing your video so this is actually a

really big part and now like I said you don't need to spend like thousands and

thousands of dollars on a video editor for starters so when we were getting

started we just edited our videos ourselves you can just have fruit

there's freely available services where you can just like if you're doing a

simple video like this you nest you don't necessarily need to pay an

editor $100 now or anything like that right no definitely not and you know

eventually once you start doing more in-depth videos or maybe doing feet logs

and things like that that's when you might start getting to more of that type

of editing but what you do you don't want to just put up like a sloppily made

video where there's clearly like extraneous noises and things like that

you do want to spend some time and even it yeah I mean people are gonna click

away from your video if it's shaky right if you get shaky hand or if they can't

hear right if the audio is choppy or I've done a couple videos by the water

and I didn't realize it at the time obviously I should have that there's

wind coming off the water so some guy literally commented like next time don't

do a video on a hurricane so if they can't hear you get a lot of trolls yeah

I mean you get a lot of trolls but you get thick-skinned right it's a youtube

comment who cares if they can't see you if they can't hear you if you get shaky

hands you want to make sure that the content is the quality of the videos

good if it's not something that you would watch you know don't publish it

yeah absolutely and and again this is like just optimize

your videos with editing it's not hard just spend you know there's plenty of

video editing services on upwork.com and you just do it yourself so make sure you

spend some time at even it I like to do like two or three edits before I

actually publish it it may not look like that cuz some of my videos are pretty

but we do a couple rounds of anything usually definitely my biggest thing is

you can choose to edit it yourself so I edit my own videos it can be time

intensive you can choose to outsource it but whatever you choose to do you can

think about when you shot the video and when you actually publish the video

because that timeline needs to be as little as possible you want to pup I

used to shoot a video on Thursday and then you know Sunday I would edit it and

like Tuesday up it's almost like a week but why did I add in all that time you

should want to shoot a video edit it and publish it as soon as possible yeah okay

so next up this sounds pretty obvious but some people don't really do it now

you need to create good videos and what I mean by creating good videos look and

this is kind of like with SEO and other stuff like look to see what type of

videos get a lot of views before you start making videos so for example we're

very strategic about the types of videos we reproduce so like like like for

example a day in the life videos no matter if your real estate or anything a

day in the life videos do really well uh-huh that's a free tip you know great

tip right there whatever industry you just do a day in the life that video

will get a lot of views and there's tons of other examples like that you know if

you spend an hour on YouTube just looking in your industry to see what

types of videos get like millions of views or hundreds of thousands of views

you'll start to get great ideas and then you can make really good quality videos

you can just like for example I took I took a video you know how much do real

estate investors make us that's a pretty good video that I have that gets a lot

of interaction a lot of people like it and I saw that form it was like how much

do youtubers make or some video like that then I just apply that to the real

estate industry so you should always be doing research to find out what the best

videos are out there yeah I would say that it's very hard to create a new

market of videos it's very hard to just go off on your own and do something

completely different again unless you're Casey nice tat or someone who already

has this large following most of your video views are going to be coming from

suggested videos on topics already covered or through the YouTube search

algorithms so if you're wondering what video to do or what to call your video

start typing in in the youtube search bar and then you'll get that autofill if

you type in real estate investing you know the words will pop up tips for

beginners 100,000 on a flip whatever it may be

you're not gonna create an entire new genre you're just gonna repurpose some

general theme that other people are talking about like you said youtubers

how much do they make Mario yeah you want to model something create something

new and making your own yeah because and russell brunson if you if you look up

russell brunson he's a very savvy marketer probably one of the most famous

markers maybe of all time and he says you never want to be the

pioneer the pioneers the guy with the arrows in his back because he just went

off and did his own thing and you know maybe sometimes being the pioneer can

work but a much higher likelihood of success is just following what works

already don't try to reinvent the wheel definitely um okay so next tip you want

to try out a lot of different types of videos and what I mean by that is so

we're doing this video now in this office is somewhat professional this

these are good videos these are helpful videos you should also do videos though

where maybe you're out looking at properties

maybe there's types of videos where you're doing interviews on soon cameras

or you know there's a variety of types of videos the V logs the interviews just

basic tips maybe you're just driving in your car doing videos maybe you know be

careful about that obviously but you want to do different types of videos as

opposed to just like you don't always wanted to do one style of video because

you never know which type of video might take off yeah so on my channel I

probably have five different styles like Jim was talking about at the V law guide

the interview I have the condo review buildings videos I have videos where I

literally go to different restaurants and talk about the restaurants and

they're all laid out in my channel then what I can do is look at the popular

uploads alright let me take these ten videos they're all getting up the most

hits and then I'll repurpose content around those videos so if I see a lot of

people clicking on first-time homebuyer mistakes alright let me go off of that

first time homebuyer loan programs first time homebuyer tips when working with a

real stage and you know how to buy your first investment property if your

first-time homebuyers so you want to always be experimenting like like a be

testing if you're running an advertisement you want to know different

options and then go with the best option and then you know from that option

you know sparse it even more absolutely and as far as testing out types of vids

I mean how many how many views an hour like you get like the amount of watch

time that he gets play every day in this channel is insane I think it's because

he has such a variety of videos you were just like there's so much value that's

offered like what's your watch button yeah so my average watch time is about 6

minutes which per video which if you think about is like an insane number

because the fact that an individual is spending 6 minutes on the internet

watching my video where my competition is literally everything else on the

internet 6 minutes but how many how many hours per day to people because actually

just so if you start a YouTube channel YouTube will tell you how many hours per

day people are watching your videos like your entire Channel like me I get I

actually get a pretty decent amount of say 8 hours a day or something crazy

like that what what yeah there's maybes not 8 hours do I need to double check

that but what what is yours yeah yeah so it's more than it's more than 8 hours I

want to say I don't have it the numbers off the top of my head but I think I get

around 2,000 like views per day maybe 60,000 in 28 and a 28-day period my

watch time I'm not sure but I know I've gone like it's well over a day

yeah well over a day per day per day yes oh that's that's so many people watch

yeah giggles it's ridiculous yeah I'm Tony easily a celebrity okay so

next up yeah and this is not the first eight things that we talked about are

much more important but this is also important you want to interact and

collaborate with people so when you get comments maybe like for example we're

doing a collaboration right now with his channel my channel hopefully I can get

some more views just from from his viewers and whatnot but you want to you

want to respond to people and also look for collaborations you want to work with

other people write you know respond to every single comment right you love

every single comment even if it's it's a troll I just say hey thanks for watching

then on the collab aspect the more people that you can reach out to other

youtubers the better obviously you know if you have 5,000 subscribers maybe it

doesn't make sense to you know collab with someone who just has one subscriber

button right I had a really cool opportunity last year you know about

this where there's a really popular you too

we're youtuber in our Channel who has over 300,000 followers and his videos

getting over a hundred thousand views each time he publishes it and he was

looking for a new apartment in Arlington and so I hit him up on YouTube I was

like dude I need to find you something like let me help you out so I eventually

helped him find a condo and thankfully he brought along his camera did a little

V log I had my like ten seconds of fame in his new blog and at the very end of

it he said thanks to my agents Matt Leighton and if you're interested you

can check out his YouTube YouTube channel here I got a hundred subscribers

that day it's just from that video so when YouTube sees that link of my

channel in his channel what is YouTube gonna think they're gonna think okay wow

maybe this guy belongs a lot higher in our search rankings so from there that

collab really helped me in the algorithm for YouTube yeah you're doing a lot more

collaborations this year - yeah I think collaborations are great with other

youtubers with bringing other personalities and it's all about

experiment and yeah more people you can reach out to the more connections you

can make the better yeah and interviews are great too because you share with two

audiences as opposed to just one and actually something I wanted to say about

haters and trolls so what you need to realize like you can be the best content

person of all time but you know you're always gonna get trolls in a good way to

look at it like if you're successful you're gonna have troubles and that's

that's how you know you're successful you have a lot of trolls people

commenting so like I get like I don't have any weird ears I don't know about

the trolls media but I get to others all the time and I think it's kind of funny

like I don't even yeah I mean it's like I'm like wow like people are seeing my

stuff if you're out there and if you're producing good content you're gonna have

trolls and I heard something on the radio the other day and if someone

talking about Kalin Collin and coward the sports radio guy I don't really

listen to him that much but what he was saying was during his shows on ESPN

First Take or whatever show he doesn't go on Twitter during the show because he

doesn't want like for people to tell him that he's an idiot or it's a bad topic

cries he's so confident in what he's talking about

he doesn't want like three people to tell him that he's wrong or that he's

dumb so you need to be so confident about

talking about where if you get a troll good they watched your video and they

commented they engage that yeah your video rank even higher yeah so we're

we're actually gonna do a video at some point where we we read meet YouTube

comments right oh yeah I'll be I got like 50 so you have 59th minute I got a

catch-up I haven't got a few ok so just wrapping up this video we are almost

done and we'll actually write out the 10 tips in the link below so that you have

them readily available but the last one is going to marking seminars and

different things like that because and we trying to go to as many marketing

seminars as possible you just get good ideas you can do

interviews of people and you know even if yous likes people a lot of people

think marketing seminars and things like that are a scam they're like why would

we pay like two thousand dollars for a weekend you know these people are just

hype but the way I see it I mean first of all it's a tax write-off and you're

investing in yourself like to tell it you know people that think they're above

learning or coaching or getting any type of further information that's pretty

arrogant to think that you can't learn one thing from a marking expert you know

what I mean yeah because at these seminars and Jeff and I we went to we're

going to one in February coming up in Miami lots of big names they're there

where we want to be in their talking on a stage in front of thousands of people

they're the ones with a million followers so clearly they're doing

something right it's not just like smoke and puffery it's legitimate actionable

steps you can take and then when you're surrounded by thousands of like-minded

people that are there to get better and to humble themselves and to learn and to

admit like hey I'm awesome but I know that there are things that I can get

better at well that's even better and literally you never know who you might

be sitting next to so there are some really power hitters at some of these

conferences yeah I was at one this past spring and like this house no I was at

Tai Lopez house which is a pretty cool experience and there was a lot of people

there that you know you see all over Instagram and YouTube make you know

eight figures in their business but I wasn't one who it was a little bit

lesser-known of a person but just because I'm kind of

this like niche and everything I mean there was like New York Times bestseller

sitting you know right next to me and stuff like that maybe not like right

next to me but right behind me and then there are some of the top names in the

industry so it's like the top people always go to this in I always relate to

sports cuz you know we grew up playing sports obviously so when you're trying

to get better as an athlete you know you you pay for coaches you pay for mentors

Michael Jordan had a shooting coach Tiger Woods as a coach you know it's so

so like you need to invest in yourself invest constantly evolve like your

marketing never wants to be the same year over year you know what I mean yeah

check your ego check your ego you can always get better and that you know the

best guys in the universe have coaches so if they can get better so can you all

right well I think that's ramping up the the video so I want to thank her brother

for coming on thanks Rob we'll probably do some more collaborations and we'll

put the ten youtube strategies in the bottom of this video so you can have

them and definitely subscribe definitely comment and we will see you on the next

one all right talk to you later see ya bye
