How to Make Money with Affiliate Marketing in 2025

0:00 | If you are seeing this, I want to congratulate
you because this video has the potential to completely change your life. In this video, I
will show you exactly how you can get started

0:08 | and become successful with affiliate marketing.
In my opinion, the best way to make money on the internet. With the steps I teach you in this
video, I was able to generate seven figures

0:17 | in revenue in the last years. This is one of the
products I promote and I was able to make $250,000

0:22 | in the last 10 years. And this month, almost
$4,000. And if I take a look at my PayPal account,

0:27 | the last 90 days, $90,000 came in. And besides
affiliate marketing revenue, there’s also ad

0:34 | revenue from Google AdSense. And in my lifetime, I
was able to make more than $400,000. And since I’m

0:41 | convinced that affiliate marketing is still super
relevant and super lucrative these days, I decided to start over from scratch and share every single
step I take in this journey so you can also learn

0:51 | how to get started and become successful with
affiliate marketing. So let me tell you how my affiliate marketing journey started 18 years ago.
I made my first sale with affiliate marketing in

1:01 | 2007. The feeling was amazing. I was like, I want
to do this for a living. I tried a lot of things

1:06 | in the years after that, I made a lot of mistakes,
lost a lot of money and then in 2015, I decided to

1:11 | take a different approach to affiliate marketing.
I was always focused on how to make money with affiliate marketing but in 2015, I decided to
start focusing on helping other people. And

1:21 | that changed everything. And that’s what I’m
about to do in this tutorial. I want to give you as much as possible so you can get started
with affiliate marketing and learn how to become

1:29 | successful with it. I have no upsell, I have no
thousand dollar course that I will pitch to you, halfway the course. No, everything I share is
for free. And by doing so, I get more likes,

1:38 | I get more subscribers, I get more views, my
other videos will be watched more and that way I can generate more revenue. So it’s a win-win
situation. I give everything away for free and

1:47 | at the same time, I know it will help me to grow
my YouTube channel and make more money. And since I’m being honest with you, I also want to tell
you that affiliate marketing is hard work. It’s

1:57 | not like, oh I follow Ferdy’s tutorial and try
a few things and I will probably make a lot of money. No, it’s hard work. You need to persevere.
You need to be dedicated. You need to decide for

2:06 | yourself that you’re going to do this and become
successful with this. I’ll tell you how that went with me 10 years ago when I started out with this
new adventure. But when you persevere, the sky is

2:16 | the limit. With a normal job, you get paid every
of effort in the beginning and you often don’t see

2:24 | the results in the beginning. But when you start
to receive results, those can be exponential. That’s what I’ve seen in my life. That’s what
I’ve seen in the life of people that followed my

2:32 | earlier tutorials. They are now my friends. They
make a lot of money with it and they say Ferdy, all have my first thousand dollar in one day
revenue. I was like wow, it’s working for me, it’s

2:48 | working for him but I know he was persevering,
he was putting a lot of effort in it. But let’s

2:53 | not carry it away with a thousand dollar per
day. My goal for you is to make your first sale

2:58 | with affiliate marketing. That’s it because that’s
the hardest sale. If you can get your first sale,

3:04 | the second sale is easier, the third sale is even
easier and then the exponential growth can come.

3:10 | So that will be my focus for you or I hope that
will be your focus in this journey, your first sale. If you have a first sale, celebrate
it. Man, because when you have reached that,

3:19 | from that point on, you need to continue what
you’re doing and then it can become more and more fun. As long as you persevere, perseverance is the
name of the game. I’ve persevered now for 10 years

3:30 | and I’m so thankful. If I take a look at my life,
I’m married, we have two kids, my wife can be a stay at home mom, she wants to spend time with the
kids. I’m working at home so I can go downstairs

3:40 | to my children, to my wife. We can go on vacation
where we want. It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive or cheap. We don’t have to take a look at the
prices when we do groceries and we can do charity

3:49 | and make a difference in someone else’s life. It’s
super cool that affiliate marketing played a big

3:54 | part in this and I’m super thankful for that and
that’s why I think that everybody deserves the chance to make money with affiliate marketing.
And yes, as I said before, I will say it again,

4:03 | it’s hard work but it’s worth the effort. The
rewards are higher than what you put in. So here’s

4:09 | the deal. I will give you all the knowledge you
need in order to become successful with this, but it’s up to you to take action. You can watch this
video five times, feel good and think wow, this is

4:18 | such a cool way to make money, but if you don’t
take action, nothing will happen. I have my idea

4:24 | for affiliate marketing, what I’m doing right now,
already since 2012. I was like, hey, if I’m going to do this, whoa, this will work. But I have a lot
of negative thoughts like, English is not my main

4:34 | language, I don’t like to be on the camera, other
people are better, and then three years later,

4:40 | I decided to do it. Why? Because I was getting
married, we’re saving money for the wedding and that’s the moment I said, okay, I need to make
more money. I need to do something. So the idea I

4:49 | already had for three years, that’s when I decided
to put it into practice. I stopped thinking about all the limitations. I was like, I’m just going to
do it. And when I took action, now 10 years ago, I

5:02 | decided to go all in with affiliate marketing and
I wish you the same. That you will find the place,

5:08 | the motivation to go all in, to persevere and
then hopefully one day you can say to me Ferdy,

5:13 | I made it. I’m so happy. So I hope you’ll
be that person in a few years. So how about

5:19 | we start answering the most important question,
what is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing

5:25 | is promoting someone else’s product or service in
exchange for a commission. Let me say that again,

5:32 | affiliate marketing is promoting someone else’s
product or service in exchange for a commission.

5:37 | Let me give you an example. When I got my driver’s
license, my driver lessons instructor told me

5:42 | Ferdy, if you make sure that someone else is
going to take driving lessons at my driving lesson school, you get a $50 commission. Why? He
was probably having not too much new clients and

5:52 | he wanted to have more clients, so he started
to give commissions for people that brought him new clients. So what I did, I went to a birthday
party, I saw Jennifer, I said, Jennifer, I just

6:00 | got my driver’s license at a great driving lesson
instructor. How cool would it be if you also would get driving lessons and get your driver’s license?
So she said, okay, let’s do it. She took lessons

6:09 | over there and I got my commission and that is
affiliate marketing. Let me give you another

6:15 | example. If I go to amazon.com, I really like
the Canon R6 Mark II. That’s the camera I use to

6:24 | record my videos. And what I see over here, this
camera cost $2,299. And quite a few times people

6:30 | say Ferdy, what camera do you use? The quality
is so amazing. And then I can refer them to this link. But what I also can do, I can go to Google
search for Amazon affiliate. And then over here,

6:43 | there’s an Amazon associates affiliate program.
So if I click on it, what I see, earn up to 10%

6:50 | commission for everything people buy through your
unique affiliate link. So what happens? I can

6:57 | sign up, fill in my details over here. And when I
sign up for every product at Amazon, I can get a unique affiliate link. So I can share this link.
And when I sign up for every product at Amazon,

7:02 | I can get a unique affiliate link. So I can share
this link. And now when people go to this page with my affiliate link, Amazon knows that the
people that buy this product are referred by me.

7:12 | So now when people say, Hey, your video quality
is amazing. What kind of camera do you use? And I give them that link and they buy this product. I
commission, which is $229. So what happens? People

7:25 | want to buy products every day. People want
to buy products. I always say every day people become 18. People want to get a driver’s license.
People want to go on vacation for the first time,

7:33 | book a hotel for the first time, buy products
on the internet for the first time. And Amazon is selling products. So there’s the buyer
and there’s the seller. But as an affiliate,

7:42 | you can promote products from Amazon. And when
people buy those products through you, you get a commission. So Amazon is happy because they sell
products. The affiliate is happy because they get

7:50 | a commission and that buyer’s happy because they
bought a product. It’s a win, win, win situation.

7:56 | So as I said, every day, there are tons of people
who want to buy things, software, courses, games,

8:02 | credit cards, vacations, renting places through
booking.com or Airbnb. People are going to buy

8:08 | that, but how cool would it be if they’re going
to buy it through you as an affiliate? So how do you get in between the buyer and the seller
so that you get all those commissions? That is

8:18 | exactly what I’m going to show you step by step in
this tutorial. So let me show you another example.

8:24 | If you search for the best WordPress themes, so
I skip all the sponsored stuff. I click on it.

8:34 | The 10 fastest WordPress themes free and paid. So
there’s a table of contents. There’s a blog post over here, lightweight themes, themes with their
own page builder. So if I would click on this one,

8:43 | for instance, Divi, I scroll down, I see the title
Divi. Divi is a powerful visual page builder,

8:49 | a small text, an image, performance results for
the Divi page builder. And if I click over here,

8:57 | look at this. What do I see? I see the affiliate
link. So I know that when I buy this, that person

9:03 | from that website, WP rocket makes money. So
I scroll down and what I see, I search for

9:10 | affiliate program. I can also, if I don’t find it
search for affiliate, I click on it. Look at this.

9:16 | This is crazy. We offer 50% commissions on new
purchase and all subscription renewal payments.

9:22 | So every year, as long as people pay their Divi
subscription and they are referred by me, I make

9:27 | money. And I am an affiliate of this program.
So if I click on affiliate login, look at this,

9:33 | over the years, I have been making $234,000,
almost $235,000 with this particular product.

9:42 | How? By offering value around this product. Not
spamming my affiliate links, buy this, buy this

9:48 | to people who don’t need it. No, offering value
around this product in so many ways and I will

9:54 | show you step by step how you can also do that
and become successful with affiliate marketing.

9:59 | So here’s what we’re going to do in this tutorial.
First, we’re going to talk about mindset, how you can turn yourself into someone who’s
actually believing that you can become successful

10:07 | with affiliate marketing. Then we’ll do market
research, find your niche, choose a business name and grab a free.com domain name. And then
I will give you a website for free so you can

10:16 | focus on creating content. Then you will learn how
to find the best affiliate products and then you will learn step by step how to create high quality
videos. Even if you only have a phone or a laptop,

10:26 | but I also show you how you can use equipment to
enhance the quality of your videos. Then I will show you exactly how I find a product to promote,
how to prepare myself, then how to make a video,

10:37 | edit video, export video, put it on YouTube,
then how to create shorts and reels and put

10:42 | them on YouTube and other social media accounts.
Then I’ll show you how you can turn that content into a blog post using chat.jpg. And I know this
can be overwhelming. So through the tutorial,

10:50 | I will show you step by step why you can do this
and I will do my best to motivate you because it’s really important what’s going on over here when
you want to become successful with this. We’ll

11:05 | also talk about how to grow your YouTube channel,
how to find the best videos to make tutorials and videos about, and how we can make money with
Google AdSense. And when you have done everything,

11:13 | we’re going to repeat the process. Create a second
video, create a third video, and when you go all in and you’re persevering, you can become really
successful with this. In the description of this

11:23 | tutorial, I have timestamps, so if you want to
go to a specific part in the tutorial, you can click on the timestamp and you go directly to that
part of the tutorial. When I go to fast for you,

11:32 | you can go to the settings here at YouTube,
go to playback speed and slow down the speed

11:37 | of the tutorial. And if you want to go back a few
seconds in the video, just hit the left arrow on your keyboard and it will go back five seconds
in the video. So let’s get started. Let me ask

11:48 | you the question, why affiliate marketing? Why
not drop shipping or having your own e-commerce

11:53 | website or selling courses? Let me give you eight
reasons. The first one, you don’t have to own your

11:59 | own product. You don’t have to create your own
product. I don’t have to create my own iPad. I

12:05 | can just promote this one. If I would create
something like this, I need to have a team, I need to invest a lot of money, I can just
promote products from other people. So I don’t

12:15 | have to create my own course, my own software,
my own product. I can just promote other people’s

12:21 | products which will save me a lot of time. I
also don’t have to buy five iPads and try to resell them and make a profit. No, I’m promoting
other people’s products so I can promote an iPad

12:31 | through Amazon and then I don’t have to pay for it
myself. I don’t have to have it in stock. I have no stock so I can buy five iPads, try to resell
them. If this is not working, I have no stock. So

12:41 | no risk. If I don’t sell the products I promote, I
still don’t have any stock. Three, I don’t need to

12:46 | have any starting capital. The only thing we need
is a website. We get a free domain name, then we

12:51 | need to have space on the internet to store our
website that is called web hosting. That’s around $4 per month. And even if you don’t like it, you
can get your money back within 30 days. Besides

13:00 | that, there’s no starting capital. When I did
dropshipping, I had to pay $100 per month to

13:05 | be able to sell products from a really big store
in the United States and then when people bought it through my website, it went automatically to
that front door, but I had to pay $100 per month

13:15 | only to be able to sell their products. That’s
a lot of money if you’re getting started. With

13:21 | affiliate marketing, that’s not the case. You
can work from any place in the world. A few friends of mine who are also active with affiliate
marketing, they live in Dubai, they live in Bali,

13:29 | they rent a place there, they have their laptop
and they can work from any place in the world. I have my family over here, I have my friends over
here, I want to stay over here in the Netherlands,

13:37 | but you and work from there. That’s what I
really like. I can work remotely. Another one,

13:46 | the fifth one, everything runs on autopilot.
If I decide to turn everything off right now,

13:52 | go on vacation for two weeks or just spend time
with my family or do both, nice combination, everything still goes on. I even make more money
during my vacation than I spent because everything

14:03 | runs on autopilot, even if I’m asleep, even if I’m
on vacation, people still watch my tutorials, read my blog posts, email, social media, everything
runs on autopilot. Let’s go to the sixth one.

14:13 | The growth can be exponential. I’ll show you in a
minute how it went with me. I had the first sale

14:19 | and a month later, I had 10 sales. And what
also is really nice about exponential growth,

14:25 | in the beginning you need to apply to become
an affiliate for products, but later on when you start to become successful, people reach out
to you and give you special affiliate commissions

14:35 | or give you a lot of money. A few months ago,
a company came to me and said, you know what, I want to offer you $45,000 to make four videos
about a certain tool. $45,000. I really did not

14:48 | like the tool, so I declined friendly, but those
are some crazy numbers. So the longer you do this, the more lucrative it can become. And that’s part
of exponential growth. The seventh one, you can

14:59 | do this anonymously. Anonymously, hard word to
say. People don’t even have to know that you are

15:06 | making those videos or making those blog posts or
social media posts and even with AI, you can just

15:11 | choose your voice. People don’t even have to know
that you are behind this. So that’s also really

15:17 | nice. Some people prefer that to not be known as
the person that is really active on YouTube and

15:22 | making a lot of money with what they are doing. So
you can do this without people even knowing that

15:28 | you’re doing this. And then the latest one, one
of my favorites, you are not a help desk. Again,

15:36 | I can close my laptop, go away for two weeks
and I have no obligation to anyone in my

15:41 | company. Why? I’m only providing free tutorials,
sharing them with people, sharing my blog post,

15:46 | sharing my knowledge through various platforms
and when people have questions, of course they can

15:52 | ask them and I can do my best to answer them, but
I have no obligation. What I can do if I promote,

15:57 | let’s say the Divi theme for instance, a WordPress
theme and people have a question about it or get stuck, I can say, hey, you can go to the support
of that theme. So I have no obligation and that’s

16:07 | what I really, really, really like about affiliate
marketing. I sold a course before a few years ago,

16:14 | a WordPress course and when people pay money
for it, I was also a help desk. So I went live to answer questions and stuff and man, that
sometimes took a lot of time and I was happy to do

16:25 | it because it’s part of the deal when people buy a
course. But if I promote someone else’s WordPress

16:30 | course, I still make money with it, but I’m not
their support. So that’s what I really like and

16:36 | all those other things about affiliate marketing.
That’s why I’m so excited about this. So let me

16:41 | tell you how it got started for me and I hope it
will inspire you. It started 13 years ago in 2012.

16:47 | I had the idea to create a website with a YouTube
channel teaching people how to work with WordPress

16:53 | related tools like plugins, WordPress themes, so
people did not have to go through blog posts and

16:58 | images to find out or figure out how things work,
but just watch my video and then I could learn

17:04 | through videos how those tools worked. But I had
so many reasons why it should not work. English is

17:09 | not my main language, it was hard for me to sit
in front of a camera. I had so many reasons why

17:15 | not to do it. But then in 2015, I was engaged with
my wife and we need to save money for our wedding.

17:21 | Around the same time, someone asked me if I could
do a live stream where I would teach people live

17:26 | through a webinar, how to make a website. And she
said, in order to know if you can really do this,

17:31 | please make a recording on how to make a website
from A till Z, from start to finish and send it to

17:37 | me so I can see if you’re really capable of doing
this. So now it was a paid job. So what I did,

17:42 | I pressed record on my computer screen, I created
a website using WordPress and after two hours,

17:47 | I pressed stop and I had a two-hour tutorial where
I show people how to make a website. I sent it to

17:54 | her and from that moment on, I knew I can do this.
No more excuses, I can do this. At the same time,

18:01 | I found out about the Enfold theme, a premium
WordPress theme for $60 that can help you to

18:07 | create a professional looking website even if
you don’t have a lot of experience with making websites. And since I used that theme, I was like
making a website has never been easier. Wow! This

18:16 | is crazy. So what I did, I believed I could make
the tutorial, I found an amazing Enfold theme so

18:23 | I decided to use that theme in my tutorial. The
theme cost $60 and I became an affiliate of the

18:31 | theme. So this is what happened. Exactly 10 years
ago, I started recording that tutorial and after a

18:36 | day of exporting because it took a long time to
export it because it was a four hour recording, one take, I found out that the audio failed. I had
so much momentum, I was like, I need to do this,

18:47 | I need to make this work. So I did a recording
again the night after that and again the audio failed, but this time I had a backup audio so I
could start editing and exporting my video. So I

18:57 | did in a few days, I exported my video and then
June the 2nd, 2015, I went to my parents because

19:04 | my internet was not fast enough with the video,
the tutorial on my computer, I uploaded it over

19:10 | there and June the 3rd, 2015, I uploaded my first
video to YouTube. I had so much determination

19:17 | that I even wrote a blog post, it was the 22nd of
May, 2015 saying so through tutorials, videos and

19:24 | blog posts, I want to share my knowledge with the
whole world and I will work on it weekly until it becomes a success. I had so much problems and
trouble with making websites over the last 10

19:35 | years that I was like okay with this Enfold theme
and with the right web hosting and with what I’ve

19:40 | learned, it’s time for me to share with others how
they can make a website without going through all

19:46 | the hardships I went through as a web designer.
So I was focused on helping people. So I uploaded

19:52 | my tutorial, June the 3rd, if I go to videos on
my YouTube channel and I go to the oldest one,

19:59 | this video, three hours and one minute on how
to make a website using and fold theme. On how

20:16 | to create blog posts, how to create a nice
header, how to create a transparent header, how to use images, how to have nice animations.
So if I click over here, June the 3rd, 2015,

20:27 | 10 years ago, look at this. Over here, I have an
affiliate link. Also in my tutorial, I said go to

20:33 | ferdy.com or wordpresskingatthetime.com forward
slash n fold and when you click on it, you can

20:39 | get this theme added to the cart for $59. And when
people would buy this through my affiliate link,

20:45 | I would get 30% which is around $20. So let’s
take a look over here. If I go to the analytics,

20:53 | look at this in July, a month later, 27 views, 22
views, around 20 views per day. Then look at this,

21:00 | I went to 300 views per day. This is I think when
I did some advertising and then 730 views per day,

21:08 | 500, 600. So it went from 20 to 600 and that’s
also what you see in my earnings. The first month,

21:16 | I made one sale, $21. But the month after
that, also one sale. But then look at this,

21:23 | the third month, $200. The month after that, $340,
$440, $460, almost $600 in one month. So you see,

21:35 | in total, I had $2,100 in my first six months
by promoting this, only using this one video.

21:43 | I remember after two months, I was getting kebab
in Maslaus where I live and I took a look at my

21:49 | phone, I refreshed it and I was like two sales,
$40 in one day. I was like, wow, this can really

21:55 | work. I said to my fiance, we can use this money
for our wedding. The beautiful thing is that at

22:01 | our honeymoon in Cape Town, while I was looking
out of the window, seeing the Table Mountain,

22:06 | a thousand dollars was deposited on our bank
account, money we made through my YouTube channel

22:13 | and I was like, wow, this is really working. I
want to do this for a living. So what I did after

22:19 | that, I made no more videos and I just started
living from it. No, of course not. I started

22:25 | making more videos. Instead of counting money,
I kept on going, kept on making more tutorials,

22:31 | see if I could improve myself, have better audio,
better video, better equipment and now 10 years

22:36 | later, I can do this for a living, we can make a
lot of money with it, be a blessing to a lot of people and have the lifestyle we like to have and
it was all because I got the idea and I acted upon

22:48 | it. So I will give you the ideas in this tutorial
and it’s up to you to act upon it. I hope this was

22:54 | inspiring for you. Now, let’s get started. Let’s
talk about you, how you can make this work for

23:02 | yourself. Ladies and gentlemen, the first step
we need to take in order to become successful

23:10 | with affiliate marketing is to make a decision. We
need to decide we’re going all in. We’re going to

23:16 | do this no matter what happens. Most people quit
affiliate marketing within a few weeks. You know

23:22 | why? They make no sales and then they decide
to give up. I’ve been there. In 2007, I had my first sale and I was hooked from that moment on.
I was like, I want to make money with affiliate

23:32 | marketing. I started trying a lot of things. I
even lost a lot of money with advertising and then I decided to give up. I was like, I don’t know how
this works. I already told you before the story,

23:41 | but in 2015, I was getting married, we were
engaged and we needed money for the wedding.

23:47 | I was making not a lot of money, we were saving
a little bit but I was like something needs to

23:53 | happen and that’s when I made a decision, I am
going to do this. No matter what happens, I had

24:00 | so much momentum, I was, now it’s going to happen.
I made that webinar, that recording, and from that

24:06 | moment, I believed I can do this. So nothing could
stop me. That’s how I felt. I had so much momentum

24:13 | like, okay, this is going to happen. Even if I
don’t see the results right away, I will continue

24:18 | to do this until it becomes a success. So that’s
when I created my first video. It failed with the

24:25 | audio, but I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
I’m unstoppable. So I made the recording again. I added the video like crazy. I think in two days,
I finished the whole video. I went to my parents,

24:35 | I uploaded the video and then I continued to make
more tutorials. And then after two months, I saw

24:40 | sales and after 30 months, I saw so much more
sales. So I decided to go all in and that’s what

24:48 | you need to do. If you want to become successful
with affiliate marketing, the first step is to decide that you’re going all in and then you need
to back up the decision with action. And the great

24:59 | thing about decisions, those can be made at this
moment. At this moment, you can decide I’m going

25:05 | all in. And when you do what you need to do, you
need to follow all the steps in this tutorial. You

25:10 | need to take action. And I can imagine that when
you make a decision that in the beginning, you’re very motivated, but it can be, there’s a very
big chance that in the first few weeks, you sale

25:20 | and that’s when people start to doubt and they
think I want to give up. So let me give you a few

25:26 | resources that can help you to not only believe
that you can do this but to improve yourself as

25:31 | a person, to be happy, to get more excited about
life because I think of course things can happen

25:38 | to us in life but we are also for a big part in
charge on how we respond to things in life and how

25:44 | we go through life. So there are three resources
that really helped me to become successful and

25:50 | not only with affiliate marketing but also in my
life with my self-confidence with how I look at

25:55 | life. I think life is something beautiful and even
though hard things happen, I think we can have a

26:01 | wonderful time on this earth and there are three
resources that helped me to believe like that and

26:06 | to make something beautiful out of this life and
to be successful with my business. So let me show you those three resources. You can go to ferdy.com
forward slash Jim Rohn, motivational speaker and I

26:20 | listened to a teaching from him from 1980, already
45 years old. Jim Rohn is not among us anymore,

26:28 | but his teachings are. So if you scroll down this
video and the title is Jim Rohn, the major key to

26:35 | a better future is you. And the great thing, the
first minute alone. I love it. It’s so inspirable,

26:43 | it’s so inspirational, ins so inspirational, new
word. And yeah, just listen to it. I cannot show

26:49 | it to you over here because then I can get a
problem with YouTube and with copyrights but what I can do, you can go to ferdy.com forward
slash Jim Rome and then you can watch the video

27:00 | over here. There he is. There is my man, Jim
Rohn. The second resource is below that. Brian

27:09 | Tracy’s Secrets to a Self-Made Millionaire by
Brian Tracy. 45-46 minutes, I listened to it

27:16 | over and over again and this is more practical.
It’s really about setting goals and then sticking to it and taking action every single day. That’s
what I’m also applying right now in my tutorial. I

27:28 | want to do something on this tutorial every single
day. I just moved. There are a lot of things going on in my life, but I decided, you know what, no
matter what happens every day, I want to work on

27:37 | this tutorial. And those are the things you also
learn in those teachings. how to become motivated

27:43 | and how to start to take action. The name of
the game, there are so many names of the game, but one of the names of the game is taking action,
being perseverant. Man, those English words,

27:55 | to persevere, have perseverance. Look at this,
my English is not perfect but I’m still taking

28:02 | action, doing my best and somehow left, right,
it comes back to me and I seem to help other

28:08 | people even though my English is not perfect. If
I would have waited until my English was perfect, I would not start my YouTube channel yet. So just
go with what you have, give it your best and then

28:18 | the third, it’s not over here but it’s a book,
the third resource is called Think and Grow Rich,

28:27 | an all-time classic. I think I’ve read it 15 times
now. Oh man, there are so many gold nuggets in

28:34 | that book. So how can you apply this in your
life? When I do the laundry, just kidding,

28:40 | I don’t do the laundry, but I do the kitchen and
sometimes I drive, sometimes I go for a walk,

28:47 | sometimes I just like to listen to something when
I’m in the bathtub or somewhere else cleaning my office. What I do, I listen to Jim Rohn, to this
one over and over again. I can listen to this

29:00 | one from Brian Tracy and then I can read the book
Think and Grow Rich on the couch or in the sun on

29:05 | vacation or I can listen to an audio book of Think
and Grow Rich. So to sum this up, the first step,

29:13 | make a decision. You can do it right now if
you’re ready like I’m going all in, Ferdy,

29:18 | I’m going all in. If you do so, please leave a
comment saying hey I’m going all in and then back

29:24 | it up with action. The first action, watch this
tutorial and put into practice what you learn

29:30 | and if you want to develop yourself as a person,
so you’ll be more motivated to make this work and believe more that you can really become successful
with affiliate marketing, then listen to Jim Rohn,

29:40 | Brian Tracy and if you want to think and grow
rich. If I could choose only one resource it

29:45 | will be this one from Jim Rohn. If I could choose
two resources, Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy and if you

29:52 | could have three resources, then first Jim Rohn,
second one Brian Tracy and the third one think and

29:58 | grow rich in book form or audio book. Yes. So are
you ready to make a decision to make this work? So

30:08 | even though you get setbacks or not everything
is working out as you want it to be, you know I made a decision and I’m gonna be successful
with this. If that’s the case, congratulations.

30:19 | Your life can completely transform and I’m
so happy for you. So since you’ve done that,

30:25 | let’s continue with the second step. Okay, let’s
talk about step two, finding your niche and your

30:37 | name. What is a niche? Well, we can go to
chat.gpt, what is a niche? And by the way,

30:44 | this part, I did not prepare this. Normally I
prepare in all my tutorials, I practice so I can

30:50 | give you the best result. But what I want to do, I
want to take you with me on my journey in finding a niche and then starting all over with affiliate
marketing. So instead of preparing everything,

30:59 | knowing what to say, knowing what to search for,
I just want to be normal like really authentic and

31:06 | take you with me on the journey. So I just press
record and I’m going to talk and I hope what I say is amazing. I think it is. So what is a niche? A
niche is a specialized segment of a market or area

31:18 | of interest that focus on a specific group of
people, product or needs. Well, what is that? I don’t understand it. So let me give an example. A
niche can be a product that you want to promote or

31:28 | a group of product. So a niche can be photography
and if you have photography as a niche, your whole

31:36 | website or your social media, your YouTube channel
could all be about photography related things. So

31:43 | you could make a review of a photo camera,
you can make a review of a lens, you could

31:48 | compare lenses with each other, you could promote
Photoshop tutorials, or you could create Photoshop

31:55 | tutorials, how to edit photos. You can refer to
Photoshop courses, you can refer to photo editing

32:03 | software. But what you should not do is having a
link to a course on how to train your dog. That’s

32:09 | outside of that niche. So a niche is a specific
group within the whole marketplace and when you

32:15 | focus on one niche, there’s a bigger chance that
you’ll become successful. If you have a website where you sell photo cameras, give doc trainings
and you sell stuff that can make you strong,

32:30 | supplements, then you’re all over the place.
That’s not working. So you need to choose a niche,

32:36 | a product or me 20 examples of affiliate marketing
niches and the products you could promote with

32:56 | those niches? Bring it on, absolutely. Wow,
thank you. Fitness, so fitness is a niche,

33:05 | there are also sub-niches, fitness for women. So
you narrow down your niche with 50% since 50% of

33:12 | the people are women. The home office setup.
So you can have a YouTube channel or a website

33:18 | about how to set up a home studio. If you have a
small space, which camera should you use? Which lens could you use? How to make videos using your
phone? Which audio is the best tool? Should you

33:28 | have audio in front of your face, in front of your
mouth or should you have it outside of the frame?

33:34 | Which computer to edit your videos? Which editing
software? Oh, I really like this niche. Maybe I

33:39 | should do this one, home office setup, standing
desk, it’s not even about making videos, it’s

33:47 | about desks, chairs, I just got carried away a bit
but that would also be cool. How to make your own

33:53 | studio and then you can become an affiliate of the
cameras, of the lenses, of the tools, you can have

34:01 | courses that you refer to, a lot you can do.
The vegan lifestyle. So you can talk about vegan

34:07 | supplements, cookbooks, meal plans, vegan and
skincare. So before we dive deeper into this list,

34:14 | let me give you three things you need to keep in
mind when you are considering to promote products

34:19 | or promote a certain niche. The first one, only
promote products that you like. If you don’t like

34:26 | the product, don’t promote it. Trust me on this
one. I tried to promote things just to make money,

34:32 | you know, 2008, 2009, just to make money. I didn’t
care what kind of program it was, I just want to

34:38 | make money. I lost a lot of money with it and my
whole idea was to make money instead of helping

34:44 | people. And it’s harder to help people if you
don’t like the product. So the first advice,

34:51 | only promote products that you really like. The
second one, only promote products that are really

34:57 | helping other people. A few years ago, I started
promoting a tool. They offered me money to make a

35:02 | video about the tool. And then I said, okay, I
will make a tutorial about it. And while I was

35:08 | making the tutorial, I found a lot of errors with
that tool and I was like, come on, I cannot share

35:13 | this with my audience. This is not helping people,
if people buy this, it will make them frustrated.

35:19 | My name is on the list, how do you say it, my name
is, I am promoting this so I’m standing behind

35:25 | this product so my name, my integrity is on the,
how do you say it, on the line, not on the list, on the line. So I send back the money and I
said sorry I cannot make a tutorial about this

35:34 | and I’ve learned from that normally when people
offer me money, I always check do I really like

35:40 | the product. If I really like the product and
they offer me money, I’ll take it, but I will never let money be a reason for me to promote
things, especially since my name, my integrity

35:50 | is on the line. So first, only promote products
you like and only promote products that help

35:55 | other people. And then the third advice, before
you start to create content about a product, if you find products that you like and that are
helping people, make sure you get to know the

36:05 | product really well. If you promote a camera, make
sure you know what everything is, how it works,

36:11 | so when you help people, when they ask questions,
you can really help them, answer them and really

36:16 | offer value in that way. So first, make sure that
you like the products you promote. If you don’t like it, don’t promote it. Make sure that you like
the products you promote. If you don’t like it,

36:22 | don’t promote it. Make sure that the product you
promote is helping other people. If that’s not the case, don’t promote it. The third one, if you
promote something, make sure you get to know the

36:31 | thing you’re promoting. Okay, since we got that
out of the way, let’s talk about another really important subject. Should you promote physical
products like a camera, like a computer, like

36:41 | a phone, like a lamp, like a microphone, like a
cup or should you promote digital products? Well,

36:48 | let me show you the difference. If I search for
the Canon R6, let’s go to the store, the Canon R6,

36:59 | it says $2,500. Keep in mind that you get around
10% for this. So when people buy this, you get

37:05 | $250. That’s an amazing amount, but people have to
spend two and a half thousand dollars for you to

37:13 | get $250. If you would go for a digital product,
let’s go forever webinar, affiliate. If I would

37:23 | go forever webinar for instance, that’s a digital
tool. I click on plans and pricing, look at this.

37:30 | If people will go for this one per year, $500,
what you get as an ever webinar affiliate, it says

37:42 | over here join the webinar jam or ever webinar
affiliate program and get 40% recurring. So that

37:49 | means every year as long as people pay through
your unique affiliate link, you get 499 times 0.40

37:59 | which is 40%, you get $200, almost as much as the
camera, but this time people only spent $500 and

38:08 | every single year when people pay for this, you
get that same amount. Here you get it only once.

38:16 | Why do you get less commissions with physical
products? Because they need to be assembled, they need to be shipped, there’s so much more cost
involved that there is less room for a commission.

38:26 | So I prefer personally to promote digital products
like ever webinar. Let me show you. In 2019 maybe,

38:34 | YouTube ever webinar 30 tutorial. It’s not even
written right. Ever webinar. Look at this six

38:45 | years ago, six years ago, a 38 minute video. I
made one video about this affiliate link over

38:55 | here. Look at this with this, this one video, I
made a total of almost 24,000 euros with this one

39:04 | video, 38 minutes. It took me two days to create.
Let me see if there’s, yeah, look at this. As you

39:11 | see, February, 2025, after six years, it starts to
decrease, but still after six years, still making

39:17 | $180. But if you take a look over here, there were
months that I made $2,000. Look at this, May 2020,

39:26 | 2,000 euros. The month after that, 1,000. Month
after that, 1,600. So that’s the power of digital

39:33 | products with affiliate marketing and with
recurring commissions. There are commissions you get only once and there are commissions that
are recurring. So as long as the person that buys

39:43 | a tool through your unique affiliate link stays a
member, even if they stay a member for 10 years,

39:49 | every single year you get a commission of
what they pay. Do you understand now why I

39:55 | get so excited about affiliate marketing?
I should make a new tutorial about this. So I prefer to promote digital products. If
you really like certain physical products,

40:03 | by all means, go ahead. So I wanted to share
that with you. So let’s go back to chat.gpt,

40:09 | give me 20 niches for affiliate marketing and the
products you can promote with it. Only digital

40:23 | products, don’t you like? ChatsGPT, I do. Okay.
Digital products, online courses and e-learning.

40:31 | Promote Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare, Teachable.
So what you can do, anything you want to learn.

40:37 | So for instance, YouTube, how to cut someone out
of a picture in Photoshop, just a random search,

40:50 | two million views, two minute video. So
you can make this, you can learn this in

40:55 | one day and you can make a video in one day.
And what you can do now in the description,

41:01 | Hey, do you want to learn more about Photoshop?
Here is a link to a Photoshop course on Udemy. so you can become a Udemy affiliate. I don’t
know what the commissions are, but when people

41:09 | buy that course on Udemy, you make money. I had a
video a few years ago, I think I took it offline,

41:14 | so I think it’s not here anymore, but it was
how to create a Facebook course on Udemy and

41:29 | almost every day I got $5, $10, $5. But one video
that went viral and keep in mind in that video,

41:36 | I gave my everything. I really went dive deep,
creating high quality recordings with good audio,

41:42 | we’re going to talk about that and I went the
extra mile like the things that other people don’t do in the tutorials because it’s too hard,
I did it and the video took off. I made a lot of

41:51 | sales by promoting Facebook itself as an affiliate
program. But I want to help people that had a

41:56 | business and a website to create a Facebook page
so they could place it on their website. So that’s why I made a tutorial link in the description
and every day, five or $10. So it was only the

42:07 | first one. You can promote anything. So let’s
do another one. Blender tutorials. Blender is a

42:14 | free 3d tool. A year ago, 8 million views on how
to create something like this. Oh, here’s even a

42:22 | full course, just like this tutorial actually.
You can also place full courses on YouTube,

42:27 | but what you can do over here, in the description
if you go to udemy.com and you search for Blender,

42:41 | complete Blender mega course beginner to expert.
It costs just 10 euros, $10 and when people buy

42:49 | this and they get it through your unique
affiliate link, you make money. And if 8 million people watch your tutorial and a few
people, a small percentage clicks on this link,

43:01 | you can really make a lot of money. So what else?
Oh man, email marketing, all convert kit, review.

43:13 | There’s a website, if we skip the sponsored
stuff, email tool tester. I love this. Look at

43:19 | this website, email tool tester. An overview, look
at this. Those are the people that are working.

43:25 | Well you need to pay four people so there must be
some revenue over here and the only thing they do, they promote other people’s email marketing tools.
So this is in the niche of email marketing or

43:36 | marketing. So look at this, if I go to OmniSend,
you get a 4.1, the best for e-commerce, the worst

43:46 | limited integrations, deliverability, OmniSend
review and try it for free. If I click over here,

43:53 | look at this. There’s an affiliate link,
affiliate general, click ID, program ID,

44:02 | partner ID. So when I book a demo for free and
after that I decide to go with the pro version of

44:07 | Omniscent, the person from email marketing tool or
email tool tester makes money. I hope you start to

44:14 | understand how this can all be super cool if you
find a niche and you start to make content about

44:20 | it and people start clicking and you start to make
money. So let’s go back. What else? ClickFunnels,

44:27 | well that’s the program. I was promoting it but
I took it offline because I was like you pay $100 per month and you can do the same things with
cheaper tools. So then my integrity is like okay,

44:37 | let’s make less money but keep our integrity
high. Ooh, Jasper AI. So I’m interested in

44:47 | promoting AI related stuff, helping people
with AI related stuff. Why? Because a lot of people are searching for that. Look at this AI
tutorial. If you take a look at the first result,

44:59 | 1.8 million, 1.5 million, 133,000, 1.6 million,
870,000. So what you can do, Jesper AI tutorial.

45:13 | I don’t know Jesper AI. I’ve heard of it, but
I don’t know the tool. So a year ago, okay. 73,000. Okay. Not that much as I was expecting,
but let’s take a look at jasper AI. Jasper AI,

45:28 | what is it? AI for marketers, okay. Free
trial. Okay. What I do then, Command F,

45:41 | affiliate, there’s nothing. Then I search for
Jesper AI affiliate, that’s what I Google.

45:56 | Affiliate marketing, how to get started with AI
affiliate marketing partner program. Apply now,

46:04 | does it say anything about commissions? Recurring
commissions. So if I would go to Jasper and I go

46:14 | to pricing and people go for the $39 per month,
let’s Let’s say the commission is 30%, so

46:24 | 39 times 0.30. Per person that signs up and stays
a member, $11.70. So let’s say after a few months,

46:35 | you have 100 people that do this every month that
has this package 100, they get $1170 per month and

46:43 | this is only one tool you are promoting. If you
have the niche AI, then you can have Jasper AI,

46:48 | Leonardo AI, all the other tools that people want
to learn and probably have fitted programs. So

46:55 | let’s go to YouTube. This is also what I do. I use
chat.gt, I use Google and I use YouTube. So what

47:01 | I would search is how to change yourself into a
avatar video AI. Look at this, three weeks ago,

47:15 | 50,000 views. Wow. This one, 18,000 views. How
can you do this? So I watch this. So I want to

47:42 | keep on watching to see how they do it. Let’s see
if they have a… Studio Okay. What I can do now,

48:07 | I can search for affiliate id affiliate program,
affiliate program terms. So there is an affiliate

48:35 | program. So what I can do then, I go to YouTube,
d-id tutorial, a year ago, 44,000 views. Okay. I

48:50 | made 24,000 or $25,000 with a video with 86,000
views. So every affiliate program is different,

48:58 | but I know this could make a lot of
money. They have their own platform, which is also always nice. They can watch those
videos and see based on what they do. You can

49:06 | also make a similar tutorial. You can make
comparison videos, DID versus HeyJen. Which

49:14 | one is better? 60 fix, 6,000 views. People want
to learn this. So what I am thinking to do is to

49:24 | create an AI platform where I talk about the best
tools on how to make AI videos. Turn your video

49:33 | into AI animation. You see people are searching
for that. Yeah. Look at this full thought on

49:38 | YouTube. We have a little bit of a problem. This
looks cool. I don’t know what else to do besides make these videos. Want to know how I made this?
Follow This looks cool. Follow along to find out.

50:01 | Follow along. Okay. And then I go to his YouTube
channel. Okay. So this guy’s kind of doing what

50:11 | I want to do. Let’s see, six months ago. So
this is the video and I can watch the video,

50:27 | see what he does. If I click over here, that
is an affiliate program. So he uses runway,

50:39 | so I can learn more about the runway, play around
with it, practice a lot and then also make a

50:46 | tutorial about it and put it on YouTube. I can
make blog posts about it, I can compare this tool which he uses with another one and in that way,
when people are searching for how to turn your

50:57 | video into an AI animation and my quality of my
video is great, then I will appear better in the

51:02 | search results. So that’s what I did with my own
YouTube channel. I have another YouTube channel,

51:08 | C4D. Does it still exist? Yeah, look at this, 11
years ago and I did the same thing. I want to help

51:18 | people to get solutions so I created a tutorial,
how to create something that looked like glass

51:26 | teapot, churches, trees, I’ll turn anything in 3d
in glass, 144,000 views. And I could refer them to

51:37 | a course where they learn more about cinema 4d. So
I had multiple YouTube channels and then I finally

51:45 | got stuck with one I like the most and that’s
making websites. So this is how I play. I take

51:52 | a look at tools we can use then I see if there’s
an interest in on YouTube and on blog posts and

52:01 | if I like the tool and I know it can help a lot
of people, then I want to learn everything there is about the tool, dive deep and then make the
best content possible. How? In blog posts, in

52:12 | YouTube tutorials or reviews and on social media
with reels. So we got stuck, let’s continue over

52:19 | here. You can use VPN. VPN is very interesting,
it’s all about safety within going to the internet

52:27 | so you can make a lot of real nice content about
that. Finance and investing, I don’t like that

52:32 | that much. Productivity, time management,
self-development, e-commerce, drop shipping,

52:39 | very popular as you see over here. Content
creation, Jasper AI, Grammarly, music production,

52:51 | language learning, it’s also interesting, yeah.
Photography, podcasting and YouTube. So that’s how

52:59 | you can do it. You can also, instead of searching
for a niche, what are the best affiliate products,

53:08 | digital affiliate products to promote right now?
Digital marketing tools, SEMrush, active campaign,

53:22 | click funnels, online courses, teachable, skill
share, and then you see over here more information

53:27 | about what you can do with that. They offer
$200 per sale. So if you become a SEO guru,

53:34 | we can go to YouTube, SEO course, you’ll learn a
lot about it, then you can start to make videos

53:44 | and then you can use SEMrush in your videos,
learn everything about SEMrush there is, and

53:49 | then when people buy that through your affiliate
link, you get $200. $200 is a lot of money. Even

53:55 | for the free trial, people get $10, 120 day
cookie. That is that for, if people click on

54:01 | your link right now and after 100 days decide to
buy it, then it’s still within the 120 day cookie,

54:07 | you still get the affiliate. If people go back
after a year and then they buy it, it’s not within

54:13 | those 120 days anymore. So you don’t get credit
for that sale. So you can scroll down and see

54:22 | what is in your niche and you can also Google for
it. What are the best digital products to promote

54:32 | as an affiliate marketer in 2025? And here you
see already a few online courses, photography,

54:40 | software, ebooks. So you can also focus on one
software. What the guy did in Blender 3D, there’s

54:48 | Blender Guru. Three million subscribers that are
interested in learning things in the 3D and the

54:56 | great thing about this tool, Blender 3D is free.
So you can get started for free, you don’t have to buy an expensive software package. And with the ad
revenue from YouTube itself through advertising,

55:07 | you can also make a lot of money. So yeah, now
it’s up to you. What do you like? Which product is

55:15 | really helping other people? And if you found that
product or that niche with a lot of products, then

55:21 | dive deep, watch tutorials. So I will show you how
I will do it. So what I will do, I will figure out

55:29 | what I want to promote. I think it will be about
AI related stuff and then I need to come up with a

55:36 | name for my business. That’s the next thing we’re
going to do. So I decided to go with AI. What

55:42 | kind of name fits with that? Let’s talk about it
after the commercial break. No, let’s talk about

55:48 | it right now. What we’re going to do now, we’re
going to think about the name for our business,

55:58 | our online business. And at the one hand, good
to think about it. At the other hand, don’t

56:03 | overthink it. I did not start my company in 2009
because I had no logo. I was like, I have no logo,

56:10 | okay I don’t know how I can operate as a business.
Sometimes those little things can get into the

56:16 | way. So let me give you three tips on how to get
a domain. The first one, choose a random name,

56:25 | totally random, apple.com and Apple has nothing to
do with a Mac book or an iPad. It was just a name.

56:34 | Hey, let’s go with Apple. And now it’s a super
big brand. So if you want to go the hard routes,

56:44 | choose a random name. Another example, Grayscale
Gorilla. If I heard that name for the first time,

56:53 | I don’t know what it is about. It is about making
3D stuff using Cinema 4D, a software tool. It’s

57:01 | all made with 3D. But the name is just random,
Grayscale Gorilla. So that’s the first option,

57:10 | choose a random name and go with it and if your
brand becomes so big, then people will remember

57:16 | it, link it. For instance Nickelback, they
became popular, 50 cents, they became popular.

57:23 | Even though it says nothing about the person.
So that is the first option, choose a random

57:29 | name. The second one, that’s what I really like,
is a name with some hints in it. So this one,

57:38 | video copilot. You know, when you’re in the plane,
there’s a co-pilot that is helping you. So this

57:45 | person wants to be your co-pilot when it comes
to making videos. If you take a look over here,

57:50 | I loved these tutorials. I’ve watched them so
many times on how to work with After Effects,

57:55 | make special effects in your videos. It’s from
Andrew Kramer and then he decided to go with

58:01 | video co-pilot. So in the name of the domain is
already a hint to what it’s about. It’s not about

58:07 | horses or dogs. No, it’s about video and then a
copilot. Then there is the Blender Guru, talked

58:14 | about him before. Blender is software and there’s
a guru. There’s a guru is something that’s like

58:19 | he’s totally into what he’s doing and in this case
with Blender. So BlenderGuru.com is a nice domain

58:25 | name for someone that wants to create tutorials
or content about Blender related stuff. So that’s

58:31 | the second option, have something that’s related
to what you’re operating in into video or into

58:38 | Blender. Then there’s my favorite, your first and
your last name. If that domain is still available,

58:45 | please go with it. You can do anything with it
and if you decide after 10 years you want to do something else, you can shift it. Then your
name can be used for anything. So Tony Robbins

58:55 | is also a guru or he’s not your guru but he’s
helping people to get more out of life. So his

59:01 | first name and his last name.com. Then there’s
Brandon. Hey, he changed his domain to AI. He had

59:08 | .com for a long time. Brandon.com, Brandon.ai,
only his first name. Well that’s not available

59:15 | anymore probably. If your name is John, John.com
is probably already taken. But go with your first and your last name. What I see in the logo, really
simple, Brandon Burchard. Then Gary Vaynerchuk,

59:28 | that’s quite a hard name, but it’s his homepage, a
really good marketer, shares a lot of information

59:34 | on how to do marketing. So his first name
and his last name, that’s his brand name. So

59:39 | that’s what I suggest you do. If the domain is
still available, go for Gary Vaynerchuk. Well,

59:45 | I mean, go for your first name and your last
name.com. And in some cases, this is quite a

59:51 | hard name to say. So sometimes he changes his
name to GaryV.com. Let’s see if that’s also,

59:58 | yeah, that goes to, because that’s easier for
people to write. My name is FerdyKorpershoek.com,

1:00:05 | that’s the domain name I have. It’s so long for
people, people have a hard time pronouncing my last name so I changed it to Ferdy Korp and last
year I had the privilege to buy Ferdy.com to make

1:00:16 | it easier. Ferdy.com, that’s my brand right now
and I want to teach people how to make a website

1:00:21 | but if I want to change something in the future,
I want to be all about mail modeling, obviously,

1:00:29 | then I could change it. So the shorter the domain
the better. So to wrap it up, a random name,

1:00:37 | apple.com or grayscale gorilla or something with
the keyword in it, video copilot, blender guru

1:00:45 | or your first last name, Tony Robbins, Brendan
Ferdy or Gary Vaynerchuk and ferdy.com or you

1:00:52 | go with your first name and your second name.
In some cases, if people want to maintain the

1:00:58 | privacy for their family, they can use the first
name and their second name. My name is Ferdinand,

1:01:03 | my second name is David, so I could go with
FerdinandDavid.com and then you can do anything

1:01:09 | under that. So it doesn’t have to be related
to your name. So I used Ferdy Korpershoek and

1:01:16 | I made a lot of money with it, even though my last
name is hard to pronounce. So if I can give you an

1:01:23 | advice, go with the second option or the third
option, go with your name if that’s possible,

1:01:28 | your first and your last name or go with a keyword
related one, Blender Guru, photography with 30,

1:01:38 | passive income with 30. So what we’re going to do,
we’re going to create a website where we can place

1:01:47 | our content, it can be our blog post, it can be
our videos, it can be our reels and we can use it for our affiliate links. Because affiliate links
can be quite long, but if you have a website you

1:01:56 | can narrow it down to your domain name .com, forge
slash jasper AI or a forage slash canon r6. When

1:02:03 | people hit that, that’s so much easier for them.
So what I will do, I will put into practice what I

1:02:09 | said, so I will go with my name ferdykorper.com.
So I will see if that domain is still available

1:02:16 | and then we’re going to create a website and
the great thing is I want to help you to focus on creating content. So the website we’re going to
create, I already created it for you, so you can

1:02:25 | focus on creating content. So the website we’re
going to create, I already created it for you,   so you can focus on creating content. So we’re
going to get web hosting, we’re going to get a   free domain and then I got to get a free website
from me, so you can focus on creating content.

1:02:34 | So let’s do that, let’s take a look at the steps
we’re going to take in order to make this happen.

1:02:39 | So first you get your free domain name and we will
get web hosting. What is a domain name? A domain

1:02:44 | name is the address of your website. Web hosting
is a special computer that’s turned on 24-7 that

1:02:49 | contains all your files, all your emails, all
your images, all the content on your website. So with your free domain name and web hosting, you
are visible on the internet. Then we will install

1:02:59 | WordPress and WordPress is completely free. It’s
the best tool to create a website without having to know anything about coding because WordPress
is doing all the hard stuff for you. And then we

1:03:08 | will import my pre-made affiliate website. If you
already have a domain and web hosting, you can do two things. You can migrate your current website
to this amazing web hosting platform and I have a

1:03:18 | tutorial here that can show you step by step how
you can do that. If you already have installed WordPress, you can skip step two and go directly
to step three and I will show you right now where

1:03:25 | you need to go in the tutorial in order to follow
along from that point on. So ladies and gentlemen,

1:03:30 | let’s get started. If you already have a domain
name and web hosting, you can skip this part. If

1:03:36 | you don’t have it, you can go to webhosting64.com,
hit enter, and then you can click over here to go

1:03:42 | to Hostinger. Through the years, I’ve been
searching for the best web hosting companies that are also affordable, and then I came across
Hostinger. I’ve already been using their service

1:03:50 | for seven years and I love it. And I’m not the
only one. If you take a look at the reviews at Trustpilot, you see that other people are also
really excited about Hostinger. And over the web

1:04:02 | hosting industry. And why? Because their quality
is top notch and they’re really affordable. So I can click over here on claim deal, and then
you’ll see three plans and I will make it

1:04:10 | really easy for you. The premium plan offers
25 gigabyte of SSD storage. That’s quite fast,

1:04:16 | but the business plan offers 50 gigabyte of NVMe
storage. NVMe storage is up to five times as fast

1:04:23 | as SSD storage. So I would go with the business
plan. Why not the cloud startup plan? Because

1:04:28 | you can always upgrade later. So when you would
have created 30 websites with the business plan, then it will be great to upgrade to the cloud
startup plan. But when you’re getting started,

1:04:36 | I highly recommend the business plan. So what
does the business plan have? You can have up to 50 websites, you get 50 gigabyte of NVMe storage,
50 gigabytes is more than enough. You get a free

1:04:48 | domain with other web hosting companies that
cost money, but here at Hostgurrent you get it for free. You get unlimited free SSL which will
make your website secure, you get daily backups,

1:04:58 | free CDN which will make your website fast all
over the world. What I also really like about hosting is that you get free domain privacy. What
does it mean? Normally when you register a domain

1:05:07 | name, all your information, your address, your
phone number, your email address will be visible on the internet. And when that information is
available on the internet, a lot of people can

1:05:14 | send you spam emails with, hey, I can make a
website for you, I can make a logo for you. You don’t want that. privacy that will be hidden. And
with other web hosting companies that cost money,

1:05:23 | but here with Hostinger, it is free. And to
make it even better, there is a 30 day money

1:05:28 | back guarantee. So if you somehow don’t like the
service, you can get your money back, no questions asked. So I scroll down and I click on choose plan
and then it says you pay $30.99 per month, but

1:05:40 | I can give you extra discounts. So if you click
over here, have a coupon code, you can fill in 30,

1:05:46 | click on apply and you get 10% extra discount and
you pay $3.59. Hostinger will reward you if you go

1:05:53 | for a longer period. So the first period you get
web hosting, you get extra discounts. So if you

1:05:58 | would go for four years, 48 months, you pay $3.59
per month for the next four years. The only thing

1:06:03 | is you have to pay right now. If you want to go
for 12 months, click over here, you pay a bit more

1:06:09 | per month, you pay $4.49 per month. And after your
first period, 12 months, 24 months or 48 months,

1:06:16 | after your first period, you start to pay $13.99
per month. This is still worth every single penny.

1:06:22 | If I think about how important a website is for
your business, $30.99 is still really affordable

1:06:27 | and the first period you get extra discount, or
you go for 12 months and pay $4.49 per month,

1:06:33 | or you go for four years and you just pay $3.59
per month for the next four years. So do you

1:06:40 | want to go for four years for $172 or do you
want to go for one year and pay just $53.89?

1:06:49 | I will go with 12 months. So I scroll down and I
click on continue, and then I need to register. I

1:06:55 | can do that with Google, with GitHub or with my
email address. So I will use my email address.

1:07:00 | I need to create a password and then I click on
register. We can choose a domain name later. Then

1:07:06 | we need to fill in our information over here.
So I will fill in my first name, my last name,

1:07:12 | I’m from the Netherlands and all this information
can be filled in later. So I’ll leave it as it is.

1:07:18 | If you have a company, you can add your details
over here. So I will say what my company is over here and then I click on continue. Then there’s
the payment method and depending on the country

1:07:28 | where you come from, there are a lot of different
payment methods. So I can pay with credit cards, PayPal, Google pay, Apple pay, Alipay, but if
you’re from another country, it can be that you

1:07:36 | also see your local payment provider over here.
So I want to pay with credit cards, so I’ll fill in my details over here. So over here, I click
on submit payments. It says your payment’s done.

1:07:48 | Let’s go set up your service right away to start
using them. Congratulations with your web hosting

1:07:54 | package. Now, let’s get a domain name. I already
told you how to find your own domain name. Now,

1:08:00 | I hope you thought about it. If not, go back to
the place where you can learn how to find the ideal domain name for your website and then let’s
see if it’s still available. So I can click over

1:08:10 | here, if English is not their main language and
look at how many languages there are. There are so many more than the last time when I checked.
So if you see your language over here, you can

1:08:18 | select it and then you can continue in your own
language. I will continue in English. So for who is this website? This website is for myself or my
business. I click on next. Do you want to create

1:08:29 | or migrate a website? I want to create a website
from scratch. So I click on create website,

1:08:35 | next. How do you want to build your website? I
want to use WordPress, so I click on next, and now

1:08:43 | I need to create a login details for my WordPress
account. So my WordPress admin email is this one.

1:08:52 | I create a password, then I click on next. I want
to create a blog site, so I click over here. What

1:09:00 | domain do we want to use for this website? So
now we can choose a domain name for our website. And since you get one for free, you can pick your
free domain name right now. So I want to go with

1:09:09 | this domain, and then I can see if it’s still
available. I want to go for the .com version,

1:09:16 | so I click over here and then I click on next. Do
I buy this for personal use or for my company? For

1:09:24 | my company, so I click on next step, then I will
fill in the information over here and then I click

1:09:31 | on finish registration. So it’s registering the
domain and now you need to think about the people

1:09:40 | you want to reach, where are they living? If
they live in Europe, you can select France or the United Kingdom. If they live in the United States,
you can select one of those two. I go for the

1:09:48 | United States, so I click on next. We go directly
to our website. I want to go to Hostinger, so I

1:09:57 | click over here, go to Hostinger. I close this,
and then here at my domain name, I want to go to

1:10:04 | the dashboard. Now, here we are at our hosting or
dashboard. It says boosting time, almost 24 hours

1:10:12 | left. So what will happen now? Our website will
go live. It can go live any moment. In some cases,

1:10:17 | in most cases, it’s live immediately. So what I
can do now, I can click over here and then I will see if my website is live already. So I click
here, then I will be redirected and what I see,

1:10:28 | I’m already live. Look at this. This is my live
website, my domain. So if it’s not the case for

1:10:33 | you, just be patient for five minutes, 10 minutes,
and if you click over here, your website should be

1:10:39 | live within 10 minutes. So what you see over here
is the backend of WordPress. This is where we can

1:10:46 | adjust our website. If I click over here, I see
the front end of my website. This is what people

1:10:52 | will see when they enter our website and it looks
okay, but of course we’re going to make it look

1:10:58 | so much better and because we are logged in, we
see this bar over here. Other people that are not

1:11:03 | logged in, they don’t see this bar. With this bar,
we can navigate from the front end to the back end

1:11:09 | by clicking here. So now I want to close the other
two tabs. This is the back end of our website,

1:11:15 | this is the front end. On the back end of our
website, we can adjust our website. We can create

1:11:20 | blog posts, we can add videos, images, PDFs,
we can create the homepage, the contact page,

1:11:26 | the about us page, we can moderate comments
when people have a comment on a blog post or a product we have. We can change the look and
feel of our website with themes, we can add extra

1:11:36 | functionalities to our website, we can add other
users that can do things for us on our website, there are WordPress tools and there are settings.
So congratulations, you’re live now. I like to

1:11:47 | work in a tidy space. Also here, everything is
tidy and I like to do the same on my computer.

1:11:53 | So I just installed WordPress, now let me
show you how you can clean it up a little bit, so we can work more efficiently. How can we do
that? Well, the first thing I want to dismiss

1:12:03 | this message, then I want to go to the screen
options and uncheck everything. So the overview

1:12:10 | of our dashboard will be clean. Of course,
afterwards I want to install Google Analytics, so I see an overview of the visitors of my website
and if I have a webshop, I want to see the amount

1:12:19 | of sales. For now, I want to leave it empty.
Then I want to go to the website, to the front

1:12:26 | end. There’s one blog post that will come with
every WordPress installation and in this case,

1:12:31 | it is here. Hello world. If I click on it, it
says my domain, forward slash index dot php, all

1:12:37 | that stuff. I want that to look better.
So I go to the backend, to settings,

1:12:45 | permalinks, and there I want to change the custom
structure to post name. So I’ll see my domain.com

1:12:53 | or dot whatever, forward slash and then the name
of the posts. So I click on save the changes.

1:12:59 | Now I go to my website, I click over here. Now as
you see, it just says forward slash hello world,

1:13:06 | that’s so much better. Then I go over here,
howdy ferdykorp, I click on edit profile,

1:13:14 | I want to scroll down, I want to fill in my
first name, last name and then change the

1:13:21 | display and name publicity to ferdykorpzoek and
now it says Howdy Ferdy Korpershoek. If you want

1:13:27 | to have an image like this, let me save it first,
update my profile. I scroll down, you can change

1:13:35 | or create your profile picture on Gravatar, so
you need to open this link. Then you can sign up,

1:13:42 | leave your email address which should be the same
as on your website and upload an image and that will be displayed over here and over here.
Okay. Over here at the admin color scheme,

1:13:54 | we can change the look and feel of the backend,
the color. So I can click over here, it will be light, modern, blue, ocean, etc. You can choose
something you prefer and I prefer the default

1:14:09 | one. Let’s go to posts. I want to select all the
posts even though there’s only one and I click on

1:14:16 | build actions, move to the trash, apply, go to
the trash, empty the trash, then I go to pages,

1:14:27 | select all pages, bulk actions, move to the
trash, apply and add the trash, I want to

1:14:36 | empty the trash. Then I want to go to plugins,
select all plugins, bulk actions, deactivate,

1:14:44 | apply, select again, bulk actions, delete. I want
to start from scratch with no plugins. Of course

1:14:53 | we can add plugins later but right now I want to
start with nothing. Now if I go to my dashboard,

1:15:00 | it looks so much cleaner already. Then I want to
go to the settings, general, and make sure that

1:15:07 | over here in my WordPress URL, it says HTTPS and
not HTTP. If there’s no S, you can add it over

1:15:14 | here, and also over here, and then scroll down
and save the changes. If you need to change it,

1:15:22 | you need to log in again, go back to settings,
general and I scroll down, you can change the site

1:15:29 | language, you can change the time zone. If I say
I’m from Netherlands, so if I focus on people from

1:15:36 | Netherlands, I can just say AMS Amsterdam, and I
search the city that is in my time zone and then

1:15:43 | automatically everything will be synced to the
right time zone. Then there’s the date format, I

1:15:49 | like to prefer the upper one, you can change it to
another one or have a custom one. The time format, I like to use PM in capitals. My week starts on
Monday, so I click on save the changes. Great.

1:16:02 | Let me ask you a question, what is your goal
by following this tutorial? Your goal, I guess, is to make sales with affiliate marketing,
passive income. Isn’t that what we want?

1:16:11 | Well, I can show you step by step how to create
a website from scratch, but what I prefer to do is to show you how you can import a website that
I have already created that is specialized for

1:16:22 | affiliate marketers, so you can save time and
focus on creating content. Because remember,

1:16:29 | that is one of the names of the games, creating
content, taking action, perseverance. So instead

1:16:34 | of showing you step by step how you can create
a website, if you want to learn how to do that, I have a ton of tutorials about it. My whole
YouTube channel is about teaching people how

1:16:41 | to make websites, but right now I will show
you how you can import the website I have

1:16:47 | created websites, but right now I will show you
how you can import the website I have created for   you. And then I will show you how
you can adjust it because you’re   not probably going to make exactly the same
website having the exact same niche I have.

1:16:57 | So I will show you how you can tweak
it. Are you ready? If so say yes. Yes!

1:17:05 | You don’t have to do that. Maybe it’s too late
already, but if you have not done so yet, you don’t have to do it. So right now my website looks
like this. We can make it look better. In order to

1:17:17 | do that, we go to ferdy.com, forward slash That
stands for affiliate marketing and then template.

1:17:28 | Hit enter, you’ll be redirected to a landing page.
Download the affiliate marketing template and this

1:17:34 | is the place where I will ask you for your name
and for your email address. The interesting thing

1:17:39 | is that in this tutorial, I will also show you
how you can build an email list. So what you do, you give something for free in exchange for a name
and an email address. So that’s exactly what I’m

1:17:49 | preaching. I’m practicing what I’m preaching and
the great thing is if you download the template, you can unsubscribe anytime. But what I can
do, if my email list will be built by people

1:17:59 | that download this, I can say, hey, I have a new
tutorial about affiliate marketing and then I can

1:18:05 | send it to all the people that once downloaded my
affiliate marketing template and never opted out.

1:18:11 | So that’s how it works. I have 60,000 people
in my email list and if I have a new tutorial, I’ve sent it to all those people, then
I get traction from the first moment on,

1:18:19 | a lot of views and that can help me to boost my
views. So I highly suggest later in the tutorial

1:18:26 | to start an email list. So that’s what I wanted
to say. My name is Ferdy, my email address is

1:18:32 | thisoneatgmail.com. I click on downloads, I need
to check a few things because I’m from Europe.

1:18:43 | Subscribe this old bum by ConvertKit. I also
use OmniSend. Now check your email to confirm

1:18:51 | your subscription and download the affiliate
marketing website. So I go to my gmail account,

1:18:57 | and there it is Ferdy Korpershoek. Important to
confirm your subscription. Thanks for signing up. Click the link below for your subscription
and we’ll be on your way. I should change this

1:19:06 | to download the website. So I click over here,
there goes my website. What you need to do now?

1:19:14 | You need to go to your website to plugins, add a
plugin and over here I type migration. I love this

1:19:24 | tool. I use it almost, if not every day. Install
now, it’s so easy to export websites, import

1:19:31 | websites. So I’ve created a website for you, I
just exported it and I’ll import it and you can do the same. So I click on activate because we’re
going to use all in one WP migration and backup,

1:19:42 | a beautiful name for a plugin, a long name. And
over here, I go to all in one WP migration and

1:19:48 | I click on import. I unzip the download, right
now it’s just 32 megabytes but if I unzip it,

1:19:56 | look at this 157.8 and I drag it over here, there
it goes and what will happen? This website will

1:20:08 | be overwritten with the website I have created.
But the thing is, I also have my own username and

1:20:13 | password over here, so we need to change those.
So first I will show you how to log in and then I’ll show you how to change all the information
so you can have your own login details and not

1:20:23 | mine. Okay. I click on proceed, I click on finish.
So now when I go to the dashboard, it will say,

1:20:31 | no way Jose, I need to log in again and with the
same details I have in my website that I exported,

1:20:38 | I’m the only one that knows them. So let me share
them with you. The username is capital A and then

1:20:45 | affiliate and then the M capital marketing
and the password, let me show it to you,

1:20:53 | not this one. So I start with Q on the keyword,
then the W, the E, the R, holding shift, then 1,

1:21:03 | 2, 3, 4 and then again 1, 2, 3, 4 but then with
shift. So exclamation at hashtag dollar. Login,

1:21:17 | it works. So I don’t have to save it because I
will change it. So the first thing I will do,

1:21:23 | I will create a new user, add user. That username
will be in my case Ferdy, the email info at

1:21:32 | ferdykorpershoek.com. The first name is this
one, the last name is this one, a website, and

1:21:44 | I hide this and I ask for a new password. Oh, then
it will be shown. Okay. Let me create one. Then I

1:21:50 | don’t need to send this and I want my role to be
an administrator. Add the user. Okay. Now I will

1:21:58 | log out and now I will log in with the details I
just created. Okay. I go to the screen options, I

1:22:08 | missed a letter in my own name, Fetty Korpershoek.
I can change it over here, edit, Ferdy,

1:22:22 | update. Now if I take a look at the website, this
is how it looks. Scroll down, some text about us,

1:22:29 | we can show the latest post. Over here we have
the blog page, or we can place blog post, we have

1:22:35 | the contact page, people can reach out to us and a
subscribe on YouTube button, so people can become

1:22:40 | a subscriber. In the process of making tutorials,
making websites, doing everything in life, I keep

1:22:46 | on learning new things. So in the tutorial, I show
you in the template a blog area and a tutorial

1:22:52 | area and I decided to get rid of the tutorial
area and only use the blog area and then on top

1:22:59 | of the blog post, I will place my tutorial. So I
don’t have two separate areas. I have one area,

1:23:05 | but it can be that in the tutorial of, but it can
be that in this video you see, but it can be in

1:23:10 | the tutorial that you’ll see the heading tutorial
in the header. But it can be that in the tutorial,

1:23:17 | you’ll see the menu item tutorial. So if you don’t
see that in the template, everything is perfectly

1:23:23 | fine. I decided to get rid of tutorials. So that’s
what I want to say to you up front, so you don’t

1:23:28 | get confused. Let’s continue. The first thing I
want to do, I want to create a logo so we can make

1:23:35 | use of the logo that we’re about to create. So
let me show you how to create a logo. By the way,

1:23:40 | before we continue, one more important thing, you
need to go to users and you need to delete the old

1:23:46 | user. So I click on delete, attribute all content
to the new user, confirm deletion. So now the user

1:23:55 | affiliate marketing is not existing anymore, so
not other people can enter your website. So now you’re the only user, you’re the administrator and
now we can create a logo. So before we’re going to

1:24:06 | create a logo, let’s take a look at what other
people do. So I go to YouTube and I search for

1:24:14 | Blender tutorials. Okay. So Blender guru. What if
I would search for blender guru? How does it look?

1:24:26 | This logo look like blender guru and a donut.
Okay. Let’s go for, um, HubSpot tutorial. Kevin

1:24:40 | Stratford. I like the audio. Go to the site. Look
at this. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

1:24:55 | Kevin, just his first and his last name. So let’s
do something else. Does it still exist? Joomla.

1:25:32 | Let’s see if he has a website, Mr. Web. Just this
text. Well I already showed you Tony Robbins,

1:25:44 | this guy knows how to do marketing. So when his
logo is like this, he thinks about every single pixel on his website. So if this is his logo,
that means something. So that’s actually what

1:25:55 | I want to create and we can do two ways. I can go
to the customizer, then I can scroll down to site

1:26:04 | identity and change the title to Ferdy Korper.
Thing is, this is also really important for the

1:26:11 | search results. So I would rather not do it like
this, what I can do, let me bring this back, my

1:26:21 | WordPress and over here say Ferdy Korper, publish,
go back and I click over here and then my site

1:26:31 | title, here I can change it, Ferdy Korper. And
now if I go back to the homepage settings, sorry,

1:26:46 | sorry, sorry, not the homepage, the site identity.
Here it is still my WordPress, I can even get rid

1:26:51 | of this. We’re going to talk about site title
later. So now my name is displayed like this.

1:26:58 | If you want it to be like that, it can be the
case. Here at design, we can go for the color

1:27:04 | I use in my website. So if you really want to be
really simple about this, you can do it like this,

1:27:10 | or if you want to, you can go to ferdy.com
forward slash Canva, then you need to sign

1:27:19 | up. We’re going to make use of the free version.
I already have an account. Okay. Then I click on

1:27:27 | create a design and I go for a square for a logo.
And the logo is square. Not scare, but square. So

1:27:36 | I don’t even know if scare is an English word.
In Dutch it means poor. People don’t want to be

1:27:42 | scare in the Netherlands. So I go to the text area
and I click on add a text box and then I say Fer

1:28:09 | now I want to make it bold. Okay. You take a
look at Tony, it’s in capitals. That’s why I

1:28:19 | also prefer Tony Robbins. So in capitals, 30, then
I want to make it bigger. As long as everything

1:28:30 | fits in one square. Command D, control D on the
PC and I say corporate. Now I can play around with

1:28:42 | this by, let’s say command plus, plus, plus, plus.
I can make this closer to each other. So there’s a

1:28:49 | cool, that’s not cool. Or you can have some space
in between, or just as if there is no space. Now,

1:29:01 | let’s talk about the colors for our website.
Yeah, what do you want to do? These are nice

1:29:08 | colors. You can go to kudlars.com, start a
generator, hit space until you think, I like

1:29:20 | the color. Okay. I like this one, so I can lock it
and then based. I like these. So I can drag this

1:29:29 | one. Let me see over here. So I can use those
colors. So I lock this in space and see which

1:29:38 | colors compliment those colors. And maybe I like,
okay, I like this color, so I unlock it or I make

1:29:48 | it a little bit lighter. Well, that’s how you can
play around with colors. If you like the color,

1:29:57 | what you can do, I like to be let Ferdy be. Now
corporate, I want it to be a little bit grayish,

1:30:07 | not too dark. So I click over here. So I go
here at the left a little bit up, not too light,

1:30:14 | but not that super dark. Okay. And then the first
one, I want it to be this one or this one? Let’s

1:30:25 | go with the blue one. So I copy this and I go to
Ferdy, I paste Maybe you’re like, hmm. You can

1:30:48 | also play around over here or use the orange
one. It’s a bit reddish. And this can all be

1:31:08 | changed later. So it’s not like you have to make
it perfect at once. Better a logo than nothing,

1:31:14 | but it doesn’t have to be perfect. Right now,
I can go with this. What I will do, CMD plus,

1:31:32 | get rid of this. Okay. Now I say on the PC, print
screen and on a Mac, CMD shift 4, then I drag a

1:31:40 | selection with some space like that. Now I go to
my desktop because there the image will appear. I

1:31:51 | can call this one Ferdy Korper logo, but the thing
is the background is white. So what I can do now,

1:31:59 | I can go to background remover, PNG maker,
remove background from image for free. Remove.bg,

1:32:11 | upload an image. I’ll go to my desktop, open it
and the magic will happen. Now I can download it

1:32:22 | in high resolution, there it is. I can rename this
to Ferdy Korper logo and then I can drag it to the

1:32:36 | desktop. Now I go to WordPress, I click over here,
here at general, I select a logo, upload files,

1:32:46 | so I select files on my computer and there I go
for the logo PNG. We’re not there yet. I click

1:32:53 | on edit, then I want to make a selection. Let’s
see, how do I do that? They changed this. That’s

1:33:05 | interesting. Let’s go to the media library over
here, edit the image. Now I can crop it. So I make

1:33:13 | sure that it’s as close to the edge as possible,
also here, here, here. I click on apply crop

1:33:28 | and I save the edits. Awesome. Okay,
command zero. Let’s close this,

1:33:38 | select the logo again. Now I select this one,
select, I get rid of the site title by clicking

1:33:46 | here and then over here, the logo height,
I should make that smaller, a lot smaller.

1:33:58 | So I click on publish, don’t mind this, if I close
this, it looks like that. What we can do now,

1:34:07 | we can say FK, zoom in, or AI. So I like this
one, shift command 4, let’s make it bigger,

1:34:26 | shift, shift command 4, try Something like that.
Then I go back to remove.bg, upload an image and

1:34:58 | I go to the desktop. I go for this one. I click
on download. It’s not quite a square but almost

1:35:08 | there and I say favicon. I go to the website, to
site icon, upload files, select files, I go to

1:35:18 | my downloads, my recent download. Okay. Set as
a site icon and now I need to make a square of

1:35:26 | it. Crop the image, save the changes and look at
this. FK. So you’re on this website and you see,

1:35:41 | Hey, I want to go back to FK. I need to make it
bigger. So, um, I should actually to be careful.

1:36:10 | Upload image, desktop. Download for free, rename
it, favicon ferdy warper and then I go to the

1:36:34 | back end to settings, general, change the site
icon, upload a new file which is slightly bigger,

1:36:45 | select, perfect. Drop the image, save it
and voila, now it is bigger. Awesome. Now,

1:36:57 | let’s take a look at the site title. We can go
to the dashboard, to settings, general and this

1:37:04 | is quite important. The site title right now it
says My WordPress, let’s change that. So if I

1:37:11 | would search for HubSpot tutorial and I go for the
search results, you see that the videos are first,

1:37:18 | that’s why you focus in this tutorial on videos,
making videos is these days more efficient,

1:37:24 | more lucrative than blog posts and it’s in my
opinion, easier to do. Maybe a bigger learning

1:37:31 | curve. I skip the sponsored stuff. HubSpot CRM
training. So I search for HubSpot tutorial and

1:37:41 | here’s HubSpot in the title, HubSpot tutorials.
Platform tutorial, HubSpot tutorial for beginners.

1:37:51 | So that’s really important. Don’t make a, use
keywords in your title. Don’t say welcome to this

1:37:58 | website. No. So my website, Ferdy Korper is all
about become an AI pro. It’s not very appealing,

1:38:13 | so what I can do, I can go to chat GPT, give
me a iConverting I converting clickable title

1:38:23 | for a website that makes tutorials about a lot
of AI related tools. It is a WordPress website.

1:38:49 | AI made simple. Okay, command. What I can say,
AI tutorials. I want to be found on AI tutorials.

1:39:02 | And then I like to use a pipe shift backslash,
learn the tools that shape the future. I love

1:39:09 | it. Before we’re gonna adjust the content, let’s
take a look at the colors in our website. I chose

1:39:16 | those colors, you can adjust them and let me show
you what happens when you adjust those colors. We’re working with global colors. So if I would
go to the customizer of the Bloxy theme and I

1:39:27 | would go to colors, if I change this color, let me
copy to green. Look at this. Everywhere I use the

1:39:39 | green color in my website, it automatically, or
I use this global color right now, it’s this one,

1:39:46 | it automatically adjusts. So in a few clicks, we
can change the whole look and feel of our website.

1:39:55 | So I like to work with this color. I like to work
with the orange color, this is the one from the

1:40:01 | logo. So you see it adjusts over here. Then we
have the darker blue. If I would change that, then

1:40:09 | it will look like that. So we see it coming back
everywhere and that’s how you can adjust the style

1:40:16 | of your website in a short amount of short time.
So one more time, if I would make this, let’s say

1:40:24 | greenish, and also this one greenish, and it looks
totally different. So I want to work with bluish

1:40:33 | colors, so I go for this blue color as the main
color, then a darker version of that color over

1:40:40 | here. And that’s how you can play around with
those colors. If you’re like the base text should

1:40:47 | be different, you can choose a different color
over here. I click on publish, close it, so I’m

1:40:55 | happy with those colors. If you want to adjust
the header, you can go to the customizer again,

1:41:03 | go to the header and there are a few things we can
add. So right now we have everything on one line,

1:41:08 | but if I would go for the socials and I drag them
here on top, look at this, new area appears. And

1:41:15 | then here at the left top, I could have a text,
but it’s dark. So I can click on the HTML element,

1:41:23 | go to design, change the default state color to
white and I can say sign up for the newsletter,

1:41:36 | something like that. Or I can do it over here,
change that. If I don’t want to use the button,

1:41:43 | I just get rid of it and then I can drag search to
the right, there was a voice crack, I leave it in.

1:41:51 | So you see there are quite a few things we can
do and if I scroll down, everything disappears but as soon as I scroll up, it is back. All using
a free theme. So I bring it back. I don’t know,

1:42:05 | should I or not? Let’s keep that YouTube
button for later. So now it looks like this,

1:42:12 | real simple when I hover over it. Excuse me,
something happened. I should have a sip of water,

1:42:20 | but I don’t have that with me right now. Let me
come back in a minute. So that’s better. Let’s

1:42:36 | continue or shall I start over from the beginning?
No, no, no. Let’s continue. So let’s take a look

1:42:42 | at the content over here. In order to adjust that,
we can go to Elementor, edit with Elementor, the

1:42:48 | best free page builder for WordPress in the world.
And if you open this for the first time, we can

1:42:56 | get rid of a few things, messages, and then what I
like to do first, I like to click on the Elementor

1:43:01 | logo over here, go to the user preferences and
then make it dark mode. That’s my preference,

1:43:08 | you don’t have to do that and show quick edit
options. Okay. I close this, I click over here

1:43:15 | or I go over here. Okay. Choose a title with the
service you offer. So what I will do, I will go

1:43:22 | to chat GPT. I’m not a real good text writer, but
chat GPT is. So I say, I have a website where I

1:43:30 | showcase my AI related tutorials. I teach people
how, through tutorials, how to work with the best

1:43:45 | AI tools. Give me a title, a H1 title for my
homepage. Let’s see what it comes up with.

1:44:03 | Master the best AI tools.
Master the best AI tools. I don

1:45:00 | this one. Learn to use the top AI tools like
a pro. That’s what I really like. That sums

1:45:06 | it up. Step-by-step tutorials for creators and
innovators. Yes. I could say start watching or

1:45:17 | watch the latest tutorial, tutorials or sign
up for newsletter. Right now, go to action,

1:45:28 | watch the latest tutorial. And then I would
link it to the tutorials page. Okay. Over here,

1:45:41 | I want to upload an image of myself. I choose an
image, upload files, select files and then I go

1:45:48 | to tutorials, misc, Ferdy. This one or this one,
I think this one is better. It’s really big. So

1:46:01 | let me see if WordPress will make it smaller for
me. I guess it will do that. Let’s edit the image,

1:46:12 | scale, and I’ll say that it can be 1200 pixels.
Scale, and I can go to the style, change the

1:46:29 | percentage in pixels, publish. Let’s take a look
and what I don’t like is that it is over here,

1:46:42 | just out of that, it doesn’t look nice. What I
want to do, I want to place this here below. So

1:46:48 | in order to do that, let me show you a little bit
more about Elementor and get rid of the minimum height. Okay. And I go to advanced, I go to
transform and then the offset, I select it, bring

1:47:16 | this back to zero and then I do it like that. And
here at layout, uncheck margin top, I decrease it

1:47:27 | a bit, like that. This is what you don’t see in
the builder or in the live page, on the live page.

1:47:39 | Learn to use the top AI tools like a pro. It’s
really big because I had a shorter title. I can

1:47:52 | go to the line height over here. It’s also easy to
do with Elementor. I really like it. Learn to use

1:47:57 | the top AI tools like a pro. Okay. Step-by-step
tutorials for creators and innovators. Watch the

1:48:08 | latest tutorial. Publish image of myself, about
you, what I can do. Let me show you, I can get

1:48:15 | rid of this one. Then I go over here to this inner
section, I change the width to, let’s say, pixels

1:48:29 | 600, then over here, bring it to the center, about
30. Write where you are, who you are, why you

1:48:43 | started doing this and what your goal is. So let
me write something and then I will be back with

1:48:50 | you. So here’s my text, I prefer it to be in the
center so I go to the style of the heading, bring

1:48:58 | it to the center, also here, style, center. Okay.
So far so good. Publish. And now our website is up

1:49:10 | and running. Congratulations with that. And what
I would do 10 years ago, I would start writing blog posts, but the world has changed. Now a video
is so much more lucrative and important than blog

1:49:23 | posts. So what we will do, we’ll create a video
and based on this video using chat gpt and other

1:49:28 | tools, we will create a blog post that’s perfectly
legal, totally in line with everything we’re doing

1:49:34 | because it’s our own video and using chat gpt and
other tools, we’ll convert that into a blog post

1:49:39 | that will save us a lot of time. So what I’m going
to do right now, I will show you from scratch,

1:49:45 | how you can create high quality videos that can
get you sales and help people at the same time.

1:49:52 | Let me show you. Ladies and gentlemen, I have
been looking forward for a few days to record

1:50:02 | the session. It’s now Monday morning. On Fridays,
I don’t work. So I had to wait for few days to record the session. It’s now Monday morning, on
Fridays I don’t work so I have to wait for three

1:50:07 | days to get started and I’m so excited about this
part. It can be maybe the most challenging part

1:50:14 | of building your online business with affiliate
marketing and making videos and having a website but it’s also the most rewarding one. I told you
that I’m going to start over again from scratch.

1:50:24 | What I would do, well this is what I would do.
We created a website which is really good, but 10 years ago or maybe 15 years ago, a website
was the thing to begin with, creating content,

1:50:34 | blog posts and stuff. But there has been a switch
in the latest years and now video is far more

1:50:39 | important than blog posts. I make so much more
money by making videos than by making blog posts,

1:50:46 | but I also understand that making videos can be
more challenging, especially when you want to put

1:50:52 | yourself in front of a camera. Well, let me tell
you upfront that it is not necessary. It is better

1:50:59 | to show your face a little bit, but recording
audio and recording your screen is sufficient.

1:51:07 | You can make sales with that. So I challenge you
to go all in, also make videos and show your face

1:51:14 | and I’m going to show you step by step what you
need in order to make videos and how I would make

1:51:20 | my video. Well, before we get started, I want to
share something with you. Since it’s a long video,

1:51:26 | I feel the freedom to sometimes tell you a story.
If you take a look over here, you see my face

1:51:33 | and it says over here, as a man think. My Ferdy
Korpershoek is not right. I did not create this ebook, but this is an ebook on my e-reader with a
picture of mine. And if I open this, I can read,

1:51:48 | maybe it’s too light, but I can mark things. And
what I’ve done, there’s an amazing book as a man

1:51:55 | thinks by James Allen. It’s already almost a
hundred years old, 45 minutes, a really short

1:52:01 | read with a lot of good information. And I had
it in English and I changed it to Dutch using chat GPT. And then I started YouTubing. Hey,
how can I put this word document into an ebook,

1:52:13 | an e-pop book so I can read it on my Kobo. So I
think it took me two hours with some breaks and

1:52:19 | just having a chill time on my couch. And now I
have my own ebook. So now I know how to make an

1:52:25 | ebook and the interesting thing is, I have watched
more than five videos in order to get the result

1:52:31 | I had in mind. The first one was on how to put
an EPUB book on your Kobo reader. There was one

1:52:41 | how to convert your Word document into an EPUB,
but then I was like, yeah, now it’s converted,

1:52:47 | but the style is really bad. Then I had one, a
document with how to format your Word document so

1:52:55 | it will be readable on an EPUB, using EPUB on the
e-reader. So I had to watch multiple videos to get

1:53:03 | the result I have in mind. What I can do now, I
can make a tutorial showing my face like this. Hi

1:53:09 | people, my name is Ferdy and in this tutorial, I
will show you from scratch how to go from nothing

1:53:14 | or just an ID towards a fully working ebook on
your e-reader. You can even put it on Kindle,

1:53:20 | you can even put it on Amazon, you can even sell
it, give it away for free. Let me show you step by step what we’re going to cover and then after
that I will start. And then I’ll share people,

1:53:29 | okay, you can write it in Word. How to format the
headers, how to format the text, how to do the

1:53:35 | line height, how to optimize it in a way that will
be readable on all eReaders. Then I would say,

1:53:42 | okay, now we have this, we have formatted the Word
document, let’s convert it using this free tool

1:53:47 | to an EPUB document. Now, how can we bring it to
our eReader? How can we create a cover? So I could

1:53:55 | make one tutorial, which will make life easier
for people that want to publish their own eBook,

1:54:01 | because I had to go to three eBooks and that
is, I say it again, that’s the name of the game,

1:54:07 | let’s not say that anymore. That is how it works.
I have watched three videos but I would rather

1:54:13 | have watched one complete video so I don’t have
to search. It took me two hours. If I would have

1:54:18 | watched one video of 20 minutes that showed me
from scratch how I could have done everything.

1:54:25 | It could be saved me a lot of time. So that’s
what I want to do in my tutorials. I want to

1:54:30 | create tutorials, I want to create videos that
give people the complete solution. This chapter

1:54:36 | is about equipment or it’s about how to make
a video but I wanted to give this introduction

1:54:42 | just to show you how important it is to have
a video that is better than other videos. That

1:54:51 | brings me to the next thing. There’s a beautiful
saying, be the first one or be the best one. When

1:54:57 | it comes to making videos, maybe there are already
people on the internet making videos about AI,

1:55:03 | there probably are a lot. I’ve seen that a lot of
people want to learn things about it. So in order to stand out, I need to make better videos. I’m
not the first one anymore, so I need to be the

1:55:13 | best one. And that’s my mindset when I create
videos. And let’s go to YouTube for a moment. I

1:55:20 | go to YouTube, I go to my channel, to the videos,
to the oldest video and I got a comment last week,

1:55:33 | sort by newest first. It’s a really
amazing video. Wow. Oh yeah, this

1:55:40 | one. Was this really your first video? Fantastic
quality right from the start. Impressive. It’s   not a few weeks ago I got this comment, What’s
this really? Your first video, fantastic quality,   right from the start. Impressive. It’s not a few
weeks ago. I got this comment. It’s three years

1:55:49 | ago. I never responded. That’s not good. That’s
how cool is that? I remember when I was making

1:55:55 | my first video, I remembered I want to have good
audio. I want to have a cool, good resolution for

1:56:00 | my screen. And when people say, is this your first
video? It really stood out. Well, that’s what I

1:56:06 | want to help you with. How to create a video that
stands out. And the great thing is you can do

1:56:11 | that with a lot of equipment, with $20,000 worth
of equipment, but you can also do that with no

1:56:17 | budget. Assuming you have a computer and assuming
you have a phone, you can get started. So what

1:56:24 | we’re going to do, we’re going to talk about a few
things. We’re going to talk about video cameras. If you want to show your face, we’re going to
talk about audio. Audio is really important.

1:56:31 | We’re going to talk about lighting so people
can see you. We’re going to talk about screen

1:56:37 | recording software and we’re going to talk about
environment. How can you put it all into a nice

1:56:42 | view? So let’s get started with the first one.
Let’s go to ferdy.com forward slash equipment,

1:56:53 | like that, hit enter and it will be redirected.
That’s why I use my website to this blog post,

1:56:58 | which I just created. I did not even create a
category yet. The best equipment for YouTube videos. And what I’m going to do, I’m going
to talk about free tools and I’m going to

1:57:06 | talk about cheap tools that can give you some
quite nice results. And I’m going to talk about

1:57:12 | high quality stuff over here. I think I have
more than $25,000 in equipment, second camera,

1:57:20 | lens. The thing I see over there, which I’m not
even using right now, is worth 6,000 euros in

1:57:26 | total. But it’s because I’m already doing this for
10 years. You can get started with almost nothing.

1:57:32 | I had my laptop and I had a microphone. The
microphone, the Zoom H4n was $400. I use it for my

1:57:39 | work. So I put it in front of me, from that moment
on, the audio of my videos was great. So let’s go

1:57:47 | to cameras. What I could do, I should do that,
I should use affiliate links. That’s the whole

1:57:52 | thing what I’m trying to teach you. I’m offering
value in this tutorial, but if you would buy this through my affiliate links, I have no affiliate
links yet over here, but if you buy the snowball

1:58:00 | microphone through my affiliate link, then I make
money. That’s how it works. I’ve not done that,

1:58:05 | but I will do that in the future. So when
you buy one of the things through this link, I can make some money. So if you have a phone, you
could start out with your phone. You don’t have

1:58:15 | to buy an expensive camera in order to succeed
with this. Let me show you. So I have my iPhone.

1:58:23 | I know it’s a really good iPhone. So I put it on
a stand and say, hello people, my name is Ferdy

1:58:29 | and in this video, I will show you how you can
turn this face or your face in your videos into a cool animation like this. I can also turn the
camera around, so I have a bit better quality. I

1:58:41 | can put it on the stand and I say, hey people, my
name is Ferdy and in this video, I’ll show you how to transform yourself into a nice animation like
this. Hi, my name is Ferdy. Let me show you how

1:58:50 | we can do that. So also with your phone, you can
create something like that. And the great thing

1:58:57 | is if your phone is over here or over here close
by, then it can be that the quality of the audio

1:59:03 | is good enough these days that you don’t have to
use other equipment. But we’re going to talk about

1:59:10 | camera audio later. So when it comes to video,
if you can use your camera, then you don’t have

1:59:17 | to spend something because lighting and audio is
more important than video. These days, all those

1:59:24 | cameras can make equipment, do record things. So
if you have no phone and you want to get started, there was a really cheap phone over here, $40
that is relatively cheap. It has a camera on it.

1:59:35 | You can get started with that. If you want to
take it to the next level, I have the Canon R6,

1:59:41 | I think in the Netherlands it was $2,300 or euros.
And I have the Canon 85mm 1.2 lens, that lens was

1:59:50 | $2,000. So total of around $4,000. It’s not
necessary, but I like to go all in. This is my

1:59:57 | work. I make a lot of money with it so I can buy
the best equipment. I could buy a $5,000 camera, but it’s overqualified. So for me, the Canon
R6 is good enough. Right now there’s the Canon

2:00:07 | R10. I could make this an affiliate link and it is
around $1,200. And the great thing is this one is

2:00:16 | with a camera lens on it. And that lens can zoom
from 18 to 150 millimeters. So it can zoom out,

2:00:26 | you see a lot of space and you can zoom in. Right
now what you see over here is 85 millimeters. So

2:00:32 | 150 will be a lot more zoomed in and 35 will be
that you would see the whole space around it. Let

2:00:39 | me show you with my camera what I mean. This is
zoomed out, this is 35 millimeters. I think it’s even 24. This is 35. This is maybe 60 or 50.
This is 135. So depending on the range, it has

2:00:57 | a totally different look. So I can record myself
like this and then you see the whole background behind me. So, and the great thing is when you
have a lens that can do that, then you can decide

2:01:06 | in the space where you are, if you need to zoom
out a little bit or zoom in. So that can be really nice. So when it comes to cameras, really simple
user phone, put it on the stand, want to find out

2:01:17 | iPhone stand or iPhone tripod. This is how I roll,
just Google $30, 13 euros, Timu $8.40, this is

2:01:30 | amazing. I have one like this, I don’t know where
it is but I could put it on the stand and then use that. So then I can invest relatively not a lot
of money so I can film myself. As I said before,

2:01:42 | audio is more important. The rule with audio is
the further away the audio, the audio source,

2:01:49 | the microphone, the worse it gets. So I have
my microphone just out of the frame. Hello,

2:01:54 | my name is Ferdy, this is really close by. Right
now it’s over here, I think the audio is great. If

2:02:00 | I go back, hey, my name is Ferdy and the audio is
farther away, So the farther away the microphone

2:02:06 | is, the worse the quality becomes. I should
speak up more. So when it comes to a microphone,

2:02:12 | you can do two things. You can have a microphone
out of the frame, you can have a microphone in the

2:02:17 | frame. For years, I’ve been using this microphone,
you see over here and the audio is great because

2:02:23 | the microphone is really close to my mouth and
I was also not getting distracted with a lot of

2:02:28 | noises outside of my room because I was using a
cool condenser microphone but I think it’s better

2:02:33 | to use my hands to have no camera in front of me.
I prefer that. This is a really expensive camera

2:02:40 | $2,000, the Sennheiser MK50, I’m not sure. But
let’s start with the budget ones. As I said,

2:02:49 | if you use your phone and you hold it close
by, you can do that, but then you need to keep

2:02:54 | recording the whole time you’re making a video
because you want to use audio. So what you better can do is use a camera or a microphone that can be
linked with your computer. So when you record your

2:03:05 | computer screen, which we’re going to talk about,
then it automatically also records the microphone. That’s what I have right now. This recording
is not linked with my phone, with my camera is

2:03:15 | linked with my computer because of the computer
I’m recording right now. So the first option, if you want to go for a budget is the snowball
mic. It’s $28 and I use this one. The quality is

2:03:28 | great. If you just put it in front of you, you
can start talking and the audio is great. And

2:03:34 | as I said, the audio is more important than the
video. Audio is so important. If I go to YouTube,

2:03:39 | I want to learn something and the audio is bad,
I’m gone. You want to have high quality audio

2:03:44 | so people don’t leave you. And the more people
leave your video on an early state in the video,

2:03:50 | the more YouTube thinks, okay this video is
probably not good because people click on it but then they leave. So the more and the longer people
watch, the more watch time you have, the more you

2:04:00 | will be shown in the search results. So that’s why
it is really important to do everything possible to make people watch. So good audio, good video,
good lighting, but especially be good at what you

2:04:13 | do. Yeah, go straight to the point. Don’t talk too
much in the introduction because people are like,

2:04:18 | okay, 20 minutes or 20 seconds in the video still
talking about, not about the subject. Bye bye. So

2:04:25 | what I do is, hi, my name is Ferdy and in this
video, I will show you how you can turn your face into an animation like this. And then I show
the animation, I’ll do it in editing the video.

2:04:36 | Let me show you how it is done. The first
thing we need to do, we need to go to ferdy.com

2:04:42 | forward slash change your, and then a shorter URL.
And then people go to the, to the link and it can

2:04:47 | be a pay tool. And when people pay for the tool,
I make money. So I’ll be straight to the point.

2:04:52 | So I was talking about the audio. I’m all over
the place. I’m excited. And at the other hand, I’m, I’m a little bit all over the place. I
hope you help you bear with me. Let’s go to

2:05:02 | the second option. You can have a wireless camera
or microphones like this. You can put this one

2:05:07 | over here. You link it to your computer or to
your audio interface. We’re going to talk about

2:05:14 | audio interfaces. Those are a step in between the
microphone and the computer so we can enhance the

2:05:19 | audio a bit. You can put this in your phone, so
it will be going directly to your phone and when

2:05:24 | you’ve done that, your audio is here, but your
video can be over there and then you still have good audio because it’s wireless. There is this
option $169. If you want to go for the better

2:05:35 | option, there is the Rode Wireless Pro 2, I think.
I have this one, Rode Wireless Go Gen 3, $259. You

2:05:47 | just put it over here and it starts recording
automatically. Man, it’s doing an amazing job.

2:05:52 | It’s really easy to bring it from the device to
your computer. Afterwards, in the editing, you

2:05:58 | can put it next to each other, below each other.
Really nice tool this one. It makes it really easy

2:06:04 | also to record outside and when you just put it
here, no matter what you do, the audio is there.

2:06:09 | And there are millionaires on YouTube who have
great YouTube channels with more than a million subscribers and they just use this and they see a
big thing over here, but since everybody’s doing

2:06:18 | it, it’s perfectly fine to do that. And then, if
you want to go next level, there’s the road caster

2:06:24 | pro I use at one of the road caster duo because
it’s smaller. And in this device, I already set

2:06:30 | up a lot of settings, like how to deal with, if
it’s silent, then it cuts away the low noise and

2:06:38 | you can set it up like that. And then I, I link my
road caster directly with my computer. and when I

2:06:45 | record my computer screen using ScreenFlow, which
is screen recording software, which I kind of talk about later, then everything will be in one file,
my computer screen and the audio of that. And then

2:06:55 | I grab my camera files, I put it in, I sync it
in Adobe Premiere and then everything is working

2:07:01 | perfectly fine. This is what’s more expensive. So
it depends on what you want to go with. If you use

2:07:08 | those wireless things, you can just direct them
into your computer, do some audio editing with it, and then you have also an amazing result and you
don’t have to buy this one. If you buy this one,

2:07:17 | you also need to have a microphone and then there
is one that goes with it. The Rode PopMic Pro.

2:07:24 | Rode PopMic Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Mic. It’s
just $99. The audio quality is insane. Sometimes

2:07:31 | I consider to get that one, but I don’t want to
have a microphone in the frame anymore. So if you

2:07:36 | would get the Rodecaster with this one, you have
super, super, super good quality audio. So that’s

2:07:44 | what you can do. And as I said before, I have
the Sennheiser MHK 50, 1600 euros. I linked it

2:07:56 | with my Rodecaster Pro and then it goes into my
computer. I’m happy with the results. I’m happy

2:08:01 | that you don’t see it. It’s just over here. I like
the whole setup. So that’s the next level and man,

2:08:10 | you can take it as far as you want. The Shure
SM7B with an H is also an amazing microphone,

2:08:21 | 400 euros. It’s doing a great job. It’s right in
front of your face. So those are the audio options

2:08:31 | and then we can talk about light. So what I will
do, I’ll turn off all the lights. Some I have to

2:08:36 | do manually, some I have to do with my phone. So I
turn this one off. So what I see right now is two

2:08:44 | backlights. I have one light that’s focused on my
YouTube button, and there’s my one backlight. Now

2:08:51 | I have only one light that’s from behind. I like
the cool effect, if I turn it off, I hope you were

2:08:57 | able to hear me. So now I have nothing, only my
computer screen. So there are three lights you

2:09:03 | can use. There’s a key light, that is this one.
If you have this one, you already have something.

2:09:09 | It’s a bit dramatic. So oftentimes you can fill
it up with a fill light. So this is the key light,

2:09:16 | this is the main light. And the bigger the
source, the less harshness you have in the

2:09:23 | shadows. So if I would turn this off, and I would
use my phone, which is a really small source,

2:09:30 | and it would look like this. Really hard shadows.
Hey, but there’s also a nice opportunity. And look

2:09:38 | at this, if you go have a light from the back,
you get a nice glow over your head. So I really like to play around with this. I recently moved so
I played around a lot with it and this is my, so

2:09:51 | far how my studio looks. So there’s the key light.
I can have a fill light this one, if I would turn

2:09:59 | this off and I turn on the other lights, you get
a really dramatic look. So this is my backlight,

2:10:05 | so this shines a bit more. Already really cool to
make it more dramatic. This is also a really cool

2:10:11 | look because this is quite dark and then there’s
light, but I prefer, I don’t know if I prefer it.

2:10:19 | If I would do this, this is also really cool. I
don’t know, what should I do? Let me know in the

2:10:27 | comments. And then I use two Philips Hue lights to
give the background some cool lightning, not too

2:10:34 | much. And I have one light that’s pointing towards
my blue computer. It’s a blue light, it makes it a

2:10:41 | bit more blue otherwise. I just like it if it’s a
bit more blue. So this background gives a little

2:10:47 | bit more, a little bit more dynamic in the frame.
But I have to say, I really like this without the

2:10:56 | second light. I’ll think about what I will do
with this. But man, yeah. While doing things,

2:11:03 | you learn things. But let’s talk about what kind
of lights, the bigger the source, the softer the

2:11:09 | shadow. So what my suggestion is, use one big
softbox and have it as close as possible, but not

2:11:15 | in the frame. I have it in the frame a little bit,
I’m okay with it, but don’t make it be over here.

2:11:22 | So you can use this one that’s 90 centimeters.
Oh no, no, that’s not true. This is the budget

2:11:29 | option. So for $40, you have a light like this,
put it 45 degrees like that and 45 degrees like

2:11:38 | that and then it shines. Super cool. You get a
nice triangle is what they say in the shadow.

2:11:44 | then you can have a smaller fill light. It could
be the same light, but a little bit less power.

2:11:49 | And then one light, it can be a small light from
the back. So you could search for small backlight,

2:11:59 | best small backlight. That’s how I roll just
for YouTube studio. Well, there’s a small one,

2:12:08 | 70 euros. I use this one, something like that,
but then with Philips Hue, yeah, you can learn so

2:12:18 | much things from this. I learned things from Ben
Johnson, who’s really good at making cool studios,

2:12:24 | cool lighting. So I have, what I already told
you, I have a softbox over here. Let me just show

2:12:30 | you how it looks. This is my main light, really
big, 90 centimeters in diameters. Then there’s

2:12:36 | the second light, really it’s not that bright.
Computer screen, there’s the backlight for the

2:12:44 | blue thing, then there’s this one, really ugly
how I made it and then there’s this light that

2:12:50 | shines on my YouTube button and two backlights
which are almost not visible on the video.

2:13:00 | Then my camera is all over there. But the light
needs to be powered of course. So it’s really

2:13:08 | cool if I can have a softbox like this one. This
is a really cool softbox, relatively cheap. I use

2:13:16 | Aputure, but it’s more expensive, three times as
much, but this would also do the job. But then

2:13:24 | you need a light source and that, yeah, if you
have, don’t have a lot of budget, it’s still 2.39

2:13:32 | or you could just search for cheapest light for
YouTube studio and there are some great lights. So

2:13:43 | 15, 15 euros. T-Mu, I don’t get it with T-Mu, you
have to gamble, skip the promotion and to cart,

2:13:54 | well, take a look at the reviews, but you can do
something relatively cheap, but if it’s possible,

2:14:04 | I would go with the Nanlite FS30B and you have a
lot of power and if you put a softbox on top of

2:14:12 | it, the one from Neewer, then you get something
like this. They can also have a smaller softbox

2:14:17 | for the second light and maybe softbox for the
lighting on top and if you have more money,

2:14:25 | you could buy three of those. I use three of them.
I use the Aperture Storm, something too expensive,

2:14:33 | $2000, $1000, then two expensive sub boxes from
Aperture. So a three light setup will be great.

2:14:41 | Then you have the key light, the fill light, the
second one is to fill up your face, the shadow and then the third one is the opposite 180 degrees
from the key light and that is the backlight and

2:14:55 | those three together give a really beautiful look.
I know it’s a lot of money but with this you will be done except for the soft boxes that you need. I
have this package and I’m really happy with it and

2:15:09 | the great thing with those lights, you can have
RGB lights. So the blue one is not possible with

2:15:15 | my aperture, but with this one I can have all the
colors in the world. So that’s it for lighting and

2:15:21 | remember the bigger the source of the softbox, the
more soft it becomes. That’s why I have a softbox

2:15:29 | on my backlight, otherwise the shadow over here
will be too harsh on my desk and now it’s a bit softer as you see. So that’s why, oh man I love
that. If I would be a photographer, I would buy

2:15:40 | the biggest softbox there is and then if you make
pictures of people, it becomes so beautiful. I

2:15:46 | hope you like this style. I was also really happy
with my older office but there you could not see my hands, there I had a microphone. So I think
through the months, through the years, I will

2:15:55 | make it better. But that’s it about lighting.
So we already covered the camera, audio and

2:16:01 | lighting. Then we also have environment. I don’t
have anything about that over here, but yeah,

2:16:08 | if the environment is smaller, you could capture
yourself with a wide view and a wide angle fish

2:16:15 | eye. They also call it, then put it over here and
then or put it in front of your computer and say, Hey, today in this store, we’re going to do this
and this and this. If you have a bigger space, you

2:16:23 | can zoom in a bit more, then you can put it on one
or on two or on five. And that’s what I’ve done.

2:16:30 | I use an 85 millimeter lens. It’s totally at the
other side of the room. I need to walk to it in

2:16:35 | order to make sure it works and be creative. What
I would say about the environment is make sure

2:16:44 | that you’re able to make it completely dark so you
can do all the lighting with artificial lights,

2:16:51 | with lights, not with the light from outside,
the sun or the clouds because if that’s the case,

2:16:58 | you’re always, you don’t have complete control. So
if the sun shines, then it can become too bright

2:17:04 | and then if it starts raining, it becomes too
dark. If it’s night, it’s darker. So make sure

2:17:09 | you are able to be in charge of the light. But now
I use the 35 millimeters. I’ll use another camera

2:17:18 | with another lens. It’s the 35 millimeters, it can
zoom in until 70. So let me continue with this.

2:17:27 | And now you see I’m a little bit, the camera is a
little bit closer, but I zoomed out a little bit more. So now the whole frame is different than
with this. So I’m still figuring out what do I

2:17:36 | like the most. I think, I don’t know. But as long
as I’m in the picture, the quality of what I show,

2:17:44 | what I tell, what you hear, what you see is great.
And what I teach you is straight to the point,

2:17:51 | then I think I’m good to go, no matter if I use
that zoomed in lens or this lens. So I continue,

2:17:56 | what I want to talk about right now is screen
recording, because if you want to show people

2:18:01 | how to do things on a computer, you need to record
your computer. So I’ll close all this stuff for now. And then we go to screen recording. Yeah,
there’s a free version of OBS studio. I have to be

2:18:14 | honest, if I see software and it costs money and
I really like it, I tend to stick with it. Even

2:18:20 | though if there are free alternatives, well, there
is a free alternative. It’s both for Windows, Mac and Linux. What I like, really like about my
current software, ScreenFlow, is that I can make

2:18:32 | my pointer bigger. So people can see where I am in
the video. Otherwise it can be such a small thing

2:18:38 | and people are like, where is he going? I don’t
know if that’s possible with OBS studio. If it is,

2:18:44 | it’s great, but I stick with the one I use.
The thing I like about ScreenFlow for a Mac

2:18:51 | is that you only pay once. I pay $169. If
there’s a new version, I need to pay for it,

2:18:57 | but oftentimes that is not necessary because it
does exactly what I want it to do. Um I like it

2:19:02 | that it’s one price for one time, not every year.
If I would go to Camtasia for the PC or let’s go

2:19:11 | to Bandicam and you click on buy now, you pay per
year and it’s not a lot. It’s $49 or it’s $33.

2:19:21 | But what I don’t like is the idea of paying every
time again for software I use. I prefer to pay at

2:19:27 | once. So if you’re on a Mac, I would definitely go
with ScreenFlow. That’s also what I will use in my tutorial, my course. If you’re on a computer,
you can go with Bandicam or I’ll go with OBS

2:19:38 | studio and then you can go to YouTube and search
for how to record your computer screen using OBS

2:19:51 | studio. And there again, link your audio with OBS
studio. You can link your computer screen with OBS

2:19:59 | studio. You can even link your computer with OBS
studio and with ScreenFlow so that you can push

2:20:04 | on a button and then you see yourself in the full
view. The next thing is you push another button and then you see your computer screen with you in
the corner. And the third option is to only show

2:20:12 | your computer screen without you being there. So
there’s a lot of, there are a lot of cool options. I want you to see a lot of people want So I could
also make a website and a YouTube channel and

2:20:23 | social media about how to become a video maker.
That’s actually what I’m doing in this tutorial,

2:20:28 | but normally this YouTube channel is focused on
helping people to make a website, but you see how many people are searching, are watching this. So
if you want to learn people how to make videos,

2:20:41 | you can get a lot of views if the quality is
great. So this guy has probably made a beautiful video. If I would make this, I should make it
better. That’s my rule. So yeah, it’s up to you.

2:20:54 | You can go with the free version, both for Mac or
PC. For the Mac, I would go with ScreenFlow. For the PC, I would go with Bandicam. I’ve used it.
It was really simple to use. So that’s it about

2:21:06 | equipment. If you want to use a free version of
OBS studio, that means that if you install it, you’re going to use it that today you can start to
make your video. If you’re going to use audio, you

2:21:18 | can use your phone, you can use one of the things
I’ve shown you over here and if you go with a

2:21:24 | microphone that goes directly into your computer,
then I’ll show you later on how you can link that with your software. So now I’m going to show you
how I will make a video and I want to show you

2:21:36 | the process. So it’s not like, okay, now I’m going
to record something, now I’m going to do research, I’m going to watch a few tutorials and I’m going
to take you with me so you can see exactly how

2:21:44 | I will come up with an idea, how I prepare, how
I record, how I edit, how I export, how I put it

2:21:50 | on YouTube and all the other things. I’m going to
show you every single thing. If you can appreciate it, then please like this video, feel free to
subscribe for more upcoming videos and hey, why

2:22:00 | not if you want to share this with someone else
that can maybe benefit from this, feel free to do

2:22:06 | that. Thank you and let’s continue. It is time to
start preparing for my first video and also this

2:22:18 | part is something that I did not prepare. Why
because I want to take you along with me. If I

2:22:24 | would come up with a perfect idea, with a perfect
outline or script of the video I want to create,

2:22:30 | how am I helping you? So I’ve not prepared,
I only saw something on YouTube and I’m like,

2:22:35 | hey that’s something I would like to create and
that’s how it goes. As I said yesterday, I created

2:22:41 | this ebook myself, so from now I can write my own
book and publish that and show that on a e-reader

2:22:50 | so I can read it myself or let other people read
it. That’s how my life goes. I’m in the car, I get an ID. So when you read Think and Grow Rich,
listen to Jim Rohn, to Brian Tracy, you do your

2:23:03 | best to develop yourself as a person, sometimes
ideas pop up. So sometimes I search for an idea,

2:23:09 | like hey what is hot topic right now in the niche
I’m active in, but most of the times it’s just

2:23:16 | when I’m just doing life that I get an idea. So
I was on the internet and I saw a video like how

2:23:24 | to turn yourself into an animation. So that’s
what I want to search for and see if people are

2:23:29 | really interested in that. I thought that video
had already 200,000 views in a few weeks. And

2:23:34 | then again, yeah, other people are already doing
that. Well, I’ll do my best to do it better. And

2:23:40 | then the goal of course is to, to sell or promote
tools that have an affiliate link. And sometimes

2:23:46 | if they don’t have an affiliate link, that’s
also fine because then you can get more views, more traction, and your YouTube channel can
grow. And if people watch videos from you

2:23:56 | that don’t have affiliate links in it, but people
watch it for a long time, that can also help you,

2:24:01 | your other videos to be shown more. So in the
end, I promote everything that is helping other people. Keep in mind, that’s what we started this
whole course with. It’s about helping people.

2:24:11 | How can I help people as good as possible with
the videos I’m about to create? So this video

2:24:17 | I’m recording right now, I want to use an
animation for that. So I’m going to find

2:24:22 | out how to do that. So I will search on YouTube
for how to turn your video into an animation with

2:24:30 | AI. Okay. Something like that’s already a year
ago. This is something that looks really cool.

2:24:42 | A lot of views. It was not a short, but there was
another video that I saw and got a lot of views.

2:24:51 | It’s less than a month old. Wow. This looks cool.
This looks really cool. So I need to start out. It

2:25:00 | was this one. Oh, it was this one. Look at
this. Oh, wow. Emmanuel crown. Super cool.

2:25:09 | So that’s what I’m interested in. So what
I’ll do, I will click on it. In today’s video,

2:25:15 | I’m going to show you how you can leverage
the new, and what I’ll do, I’ll open my notes,

2:25:26 | make them a little bigger. And I say video to AI
animation tutorial, tutorial. And I’m gonna watch

2:25:39 | the video and make notes of what I see, like
what I could mention in the tutorial. So here,

2:25:55 | gone consistent character. So you can even make
a whole video movie out of this. Since if the

2:26:05 | animation will stay the same. So that’s really
interesting. By the way, I really like a studio.

2:26:13 | Camera’s close by a little bit of fish eye.
Yeah. You see a lot of the backgrounds. Really

2:26:20 | nice. I don’t want to make all scripts and all
storylines. What I want to do is make this shot

2:26:30 | into an animation like this. That’s it. So, but
I keep the, I take time for this because it’s

2:26:37 | really important. I want to make a really good
video, not go through it too quickly. So I’ll just watch the video. Maybe I will fast forward
a bit, make some notes and then I will be back

2:26:46 | with you. So this is so cool what I just watched.
It’s about the runway act run. So what I will do,

2:27:04 | I’m not sure if there’s an affiliate program. So
I’ll say affiliate program, creative partners.

2:27:13 | I could apply pronouns, Twitter, Instagram,
YouTube portfolio. I don’t want to become a

2:27:21 | member of CCP CPP. Then I can say, I want to make
the tutorials. So, but first let’s make a video.

2:27:31 | So what I will do, I will search for more
tutorials on runway. So I get the hang of it

2:27:38 | and then I’m going to try it. Tutorial. I see
a people are watching it also six months old,

2:27:51 | five months old, four months old. Oh, look at
this one. In this video, I’m going to show you

2:27:58 | how to create and animate an expressive character.
So I’m going to watch multiple videos and then

2:28:06 | I’m going to make one video that’s really good.
What I thought about the first video, I thought

2:28:11 | it was really good video, the content, but maybe
I shouldn’t say that, maybe it could be a bit less

2:28:20 | boring. I don’t know, but okay, what I can do, I
can do it the way I will do it. I like to make it

2:28:29 | shorter, go straight to the point so people don’t
have to wait. So I will see if I can differentiate

2:28:35 | myself from others by making it shorter and more
straight to the point. And I’m going to watch this

2:28:40 | video and that’s how I roll. I’m going to take
my time for this, as I said before, that’s why I’m not going to show you everything, but I will
keep my computer running so you can see what I’m

2:28:49 | writing down over here. And then there comes the
time that I want to try the tool. So I’m going to

2:28:56 | watch this video and then I’ll be back with you.
So what’s happening right now, it says you can use

2:29:03 | runway. So there’s runway, but you can also use
cling. So I will note all those other ones. So I

2:29:25 | converted an image to a video using
my own audio. If you’re seeing this,

2:29:32 | I want to congratulate you because this
video has the potential to completely change your life. My name is Ferdy and in this
tutorial, I will show you everything I know on

2:29:40 | how to get started and become successful
with affiliate marketing. In my opinion, the best way to make money on the internet.
Let me show you what we will cover in this

2:29:48 | tutorial. Okay. Interesting. Weird backgrounds.
Okay. Nice try. And that’s how I keep rolling.

2:30:00 | I keep trying things and if I’m like, yeah,
this is what I like. So I’m also trying to

2:30:06 | build an avatar iStock photo and I search
for a beautiful, beautiful girl or woman.

2:30:38 | Let’s see if we can use this one. Okay.
Now I go back to HN, to the homepage,

2:30:50 | photo to video. I drag this one over here.
Okay. I can also create a script so I can

2:31:00 | say surprise me. Okay. I get the script. I’ve
chosen the voice. I click on generate video.

2:31:11 | So let’s take a look at this one. It’s easier
than you think. And by the end of this video,

2:31:25 | you’ll have a virtual version of yourself ready
to go. I really like this. So what I want to try

2:31:34 | now to see if we can also make it horizontal. So
what I can also do, I can create a tutorial how to

2:31:43 | turn any image into a talking avatar. But again,
then I’m not going the extra mile. That’s like,

2:31:52 | okay, I’m going for the easy stuff. So I’ll dive
deeper, continue to see what is possible. I still

2:32:00 | want to create something like this. So, I’ll
continue to do research. Look at this, there’s

2:32:15 | so many cool things you can do with runway and
I can make tutorials about them. This out 8,000

2:32:21 | views. Two months ago, 143,000 views. Interesting.
I think this one is really what I’m looking for.

2:32:49 | Or is that the one I was looking for? Yeah,
there was the video I was looking for. So now

2:33:01 | he’s talking about Kling AI. So let’s search
for Kling AI. Okay. Awesome. The question is,

2:33:17 | is there a Kling AI affiliate program? Let’s
skip the sponsored stuff. So there is a,

2:33:25 | an affiliate program. That’s great. Let me see.
What does it cost? Cling AI. I will make my first tutorial about cling AI, Let me see. What does
it cost? Cling AI. I will make my first tutorial

2:33:34 | about cling AI, but as I’ve already seen, there
are so many tools I can promote. I really like it.

2:33:45 | So it’s now a day later, I’ve watched I think
three hours of tutorials, not three hours of tutorials, but for three hours I have been
going through the internet, watching videos,

2:33:54 | seeing what I like. I made a lot of notes. So
if I take a look over here, yesterday I made

2:33:59 | a lot of notes and this is how it is. A little
bit chaos, but for me that works. So right now,

2:34:07 | this is what I have for my tutorial. How to turn
yourself into a 3d animated character. I want to

2:34:13 | give an introduction. This is what we’re going
to do. And then I want to be, go straight to the point. Create an avatar using chat GPT. You need
to have a reference picture of yourself. I’ll show

2:34:23 | you how people how to do that. Then we need to
go to ferdykorper.com forward slash Cling AI and that will be an affiliate link in the future.
Then at Cling AI, we’re going to turn an image

2:34:33 | that we create using chat GPT into a video, then
I’m going to give it a prompt like how should it

2:34:39 | behave. Then we’re going to add lip sync, so
I’m going to upload a file, an audio file of

2:34:45 | my introduction, bring it to Kling AI so that the
animation character will do exactly what I say,

2:34:52 | use hands, gestures and stuff. And then people
will have a final result and to give the extra,

2:34:57 | to go the extra mile, I want to give
something extra like, hey, we’ve done this, but you can also create something like this or
this or this. What I should do in the tutorial,

2:35:06 | I should refer to another video because if
people watch two videos of you on YouTube,

2:35:12 | then you will be in their algorithm. That’s what
you want. So give a lot of value over deliver and

2:35:21 | then refer to other videos so when people click on
that, then they watch the second video of you and then YouTube will show your videos more and more.
So this is how I do it. Of course, I could make

2:35:34 | a perfect structure but this is just how I do it
and it’s working for me. So feel free to do your

2:35:40 | own thing. What I should do, I should practice
this first, so I should create another account,

2:35:49 | play around with everything, see if everything
works and if I get stuck, I need to fix that, watch a few more videos until I practice it
until the point that it’s completely working.

2:36:01 | Because what I can do now, I can do the tutorial
without practicing, right now it’s all theory,

2:36:07 | but then when you get stuck, you will come across
less confident. So first I’m going to make myself

2:36:12 | confident by practicing what I’m about to show
in the tutorial and when everything is working,

2:36:18 | I adjust my notes and then I will be able to
do it. I have a second computer over here,

2:36:24 | what I really, they’re both Macs, so I can go
with my mouse over here to my other screen.

2:36:31 | Really simple using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, I don’t
know. So here I practice and then here I record

2:36:40 | it. And then the question is, do you want to show
your face during the whole tutorial? That is a bit

2:36:46 | harder. What I normally do, I record my intro, hey
in this video we’re going to turn yourself into a

2:36:53 | 3d animated character. Let me show you what we’re
going to do. If you like this video, like and subscribe, blah, blah, blah. Let’s get started.
And then I stop the recording of my video,

2:37:00 | then I’m only going to record my computer screen
and then I use my second monitor over here because I’m not recording myself in the camera anymore
because I don’t like this when it’s in front of me

2:37:11 | while I’m recording. But then I just take a look
at my notes and then I’m like okay, we’re going to do this and this and this, we’re going to do this
and this and this. And at the end of the tutorial,

2:37:20 | I also record a part saying hey thank you
for watching this tutorial. If you like it, please like it. Feel free to subscribe for more
upcoming AI related tutorials. And if you have

2:37:28 | any questions, leave a comment and then I wish you
the best in what you’re doing. Bye bye. Something like that. In my tutorial, I will do both. I
will both record myself, the whole tutorial and

2:37:40 | my computer screen and of course my audio. So I
will prepare, do everything what I want to do in

2:37:46 | the tutorial and then if everything is working, I
will come back to you, show you my setup and show

2:37:52 | you how I will record my tutorial. I’m excited.
Today, I’m going to create a tutorial. Yes! I hope

2:37:59 | you will also record your tutorial very soon.
I hope you’re excited. If you like this video, feel free to like it and subscribe for more
upcoming tutorials. Okay, I’m going to prepare.

2:38:10 | Before I get started, I want to really quickly
show you one more thing. There is an affiliate program with Cling AI, but right now I don’t have
it. So I searched for clingai.com. I copied this

2:38:20 | link and now I go to my website ferdykoper.com.
I want to log in. I want to make a redirection to

2:38:27 | an affiliate link. So I go to plugins, add new, I
search for redirection and then I click over here,

2:38:40 | redirection more than 2 million installations from
John Godley, I activate it and now I want to set

2:38:47 | up my redirection setup or finish it. Start the
setup, continue, finish setup, continue, ready to

2:39:00 | begin. Now, the source URL, I want people to go to
ferdykoper.com forward slash, so forward slash and

2:39:07 | then ClingAI. When people do that, they will
be redirected to ClingAI.com, but later I can

2:39:15 | replace this with my affiliate link. When I apply
to become an affiliate, I will do that after the tutorial. So I can, I will do that after making
the tutorial. So I add the redirection. So when

2:39:26 | people go to ferdykorper.com forward slash Cling
AI, it will go over here to Cling AI. And then now

2:39:37 | it is time to start recording. What I will do,
I will turn off all the lights and then I will show you step by step how my setup works, show you
exactly what I will do, what I will turn on first,

2:39:48 | etc. and then I will start the recording of
the tutorial. I’m excited and I hope you are

2:39:53 | too. Hello people, it’s very dark over here. I’m
going to show you how I start my recording. It’s

2:40:01 | tutorial time. Within 20 or 30 minutes, I hope to
finish my recording of my first tutorial but first

2:40:07 | let me show you what I do. Right now there are no
lights at all. So I have my key light over here.

2:40:12 | Now you can see me. Then I have my second light.
I’ll turn it on. I have a few back lights. Let

2:40:19 | me turn it on. Then I have my Philips U-lights.
They give the background a little bit of color

2:40:27 | and the background of my computer screen,
so I turn those on. So all my lights are on, you hear that the audio is not good because I’m
using the audio of the camera. I want to use this

2:40:37 | microphone over here. I practiced over here, also
over here. What I want to do now, I want to turn

2:40:46 | on my computer screen and what you will hear I
use ScreenFlow for that. I just click over here

2:40:52 | hit record and if I don’t have open ScreenFlow
I just search for ScreenFlow Then there pops up

2:40:57 | something like this and I can hit record and then
it will as you see it will record audio from here

2:41:04 | And my built-in display. So I click on record and
when I do that, what you will hear is that the

2:41:11 | audio will drastically improve. Why? Now I’m not
using the audio of the camera anymore. I’m using

2:41:16 | the audio of this microphone and I’m recording my
computer screen right now. So now I want to record

2:41:25 | the front. Right now this is just for reference.
If I turn everything off, this one will still be running. So I will grab this SD card, I make sure
I have enough space and I go to my camera over

2:41:38 | there, the Canon R6 and I make sure I use an iPad
as a reference monitor, it’s not necessary. I can

2:41:49 | also just hit record, but I prefer to do it this
way. It will link now with the camera so I can see

2:41:59 | what is happening. So in a minute, I will have
good audio, I will have my screen recorded and

2:42:05 | I will have good video from the front. So if I hit
record, now you see me from the front. So I put it

2:42:19 | out of the frame, I put my drinks in the frame,
I put my phone out of the frame, I close this

2:42:26 | one. Everything is rolling. This one is also still
rolling, how are you doing? Nice to see you over

2:42:32 | there. And I will keep this one rolling because
sometimes I turn off the camera and I still want you to see what is happening. So it’s tutorial
time, I’m really excited but I can understand that

2:42:43 | when you do this for the first time, it’s super
hard. I’m doing this already, not only for 10 years but so much longer. I’ve been making videos
since I can remember. So I made notes and I’m just

2:42:54 | going to follow those notes. Intro, create an
avatar and chat GPT. Okay. So I’m ready to get

2:43:04 | started with the first recording and then it’s
really going to happen. So this is how I will do it. I’ll just record and if something goes wrong,
I record it again. I keep everything rolling and

2:43:14 | then afterwards I will edit it and I will show you
how to edit your videos. So the introduction is

2:43:19 | how to turn yourself into a 3D animation like
this. So let me show you how I would do the

2:43:26 | introduction. In this tutorial, I will show you
how you can turn yourself into a 3D animation like

2:43:32 | this. I’m going to do it again. In this video, I
will show you how you can turn yourself into a 3D

2:43:39 | character like this. Let me show you how. Another
one. In this tutorial, I will show you how,

2:43:47 | this is what happens when I take a sip. In this
tutorial, I will show you step by step how you

2:43:54 | can turn yourself into a 3D character like this,
and how you can do that for free. Let me show you

2:43:59 | how. What I need to do, I need to clap because
then I can sync, now there’s a peak in my audio.

2:44:07 | I can sync that peak with my camera audio, my
computer audio, which is from this microphone.

2:44:12 | So that makes it easier for me. So I want to get
straight to the point. I don’t want to blah, blah,

2:44:18 | blah soon. Subscribe, like, no, straight to the
point. I need to cough. Woo! Yeah, there’s also

2:44:29 | a peak in the audio. So I’m getting right into it.
The first thing we need to do, we need to turn one

2:44:41 | of our images into a character. Let’s do it again.
The first thing we need to do, we need to turn one

2:44:47 | of our images into a 3D character. Let’s do it
again. The first thing we need to do, we need to turn one of our images into a 3D character. We can
use chat GPT to do that. So I go to chat gpt.com,

2:44:57 | hit enter, you can sign up for free. What I will
do now, this is included in the free version, I

2:45:02 | have two images over here. One is from my studio,
this one, and the other one is from my phone which

2:45:08 | I took five minutes ago. So maybe you don’t have
a studio yet, but you just want to create a cool

2:45:13 | effect. Well, let me show you how you can use this
in order to put yourself into a studio. But first,

2:45:18 | I want to drag this one over here and I
want to give this a prompt. So I will say,

2:45:25 | okay now I’ll go to my prompt because I don’t
know the prompt anymore. Turn me into a 3d Pixar

2:45:37 | character, blur the background, show the YouTube
button at the right and a plant at the left.

2:45:51 | Wow! That looks very cool. So what I can do, I can
download this and I can also download this one.

2:45:59 | What we’re going to do now, we’re going to turn
this image into an animation. So in order to do that, we go to ferdykoper.com forward slash Cling
AI, hit enter. And with this tool, you can do so

2:46:14 | many cool things with AI and video. It is crazy
and it’s developing like crazy. Look at this. So

2:46:19 | in order to create what we’re going to create, I
click on create. So what happened is that since I

2:46:26 | already used this tool, using a different account
on my other computer, because of the IP address

2:46:32 | of the Wi-Fi probably, I had to wait 40 minutes
instead of one minute. So I had to wait 40 minutes

2:46:38 | and that’s discouraging, but I waited for 40
minutes. I already exported a few files. So those

2:46:43 | things can happen. There are setbacks and then
the question is, do you continue or do you give up? I continue and I suggest you do the same. So
I will continue with the tutorial as if there was

2:46:54 | no 40 minute delay. So let me get back into this.
That always Ah, pushing the bell on, that always

2:47:05 | helps. And there it is, I click on it. So that’s
the way the cookie crumbles. If you want to learn

2:47:30 | more about Kling AI, how to work with that, then
follow this tutorial and then you can learn more

2:47:35 | and I wish you the best in your AI journey. My
name is Ferdy and I’ll see you next time. Bye bye.

2:47:42 | So I finished my recording. So what I do, I
start to record at once again. So I’m recording

2:47:48 | again my screen. Now I want to show you what I
would do when I upload a new or I export a new

2:47:53 | video. So I finished the tutorial. What will
I do? I say, come on S. So I save it. Then I

2:48:00 | want to go to my finder, to tutorials. If you
don’t have the folder you can create that one,

2:48:07 | new folder and I call this one 701. I give every
tutorial a name and I say video to 3d character.

2:48:19 | Then I’m going to create seven folders. The
first one is a video. I put all my video files

2:48:24 | in it from my computer screen and from my camera.
The second one is audio, all the audio files I

2:48:30 | export. The third one is images. Sometimes I place
images in my tutorials. The fourth one is other

2:48:37 | things. Sometimes there’s something else, maybe a
reference video. Five project files, that’s for my

2:48:45 | video editor. The sixth one is all my ScreenFlow
files and the seventh one is the finals,

2:48:53 | when I export, video to character. Okay. Now I
want to grab my video file. So let me get it,

2:49:32 | open, export. Now I go to the video file, the
camera file, this one. And then I want to give

2:49:58 | it the same name as this one, enter command
C, and here I paste it and I say R6 because

2:50:08 | that’s the name of my camera. And I go back to
the folder for videos and I drag it over here.

2:50:15 | Normally I like to do this at the end of the day
because then it can take some while to export everything and to copy everything. And sometimes
I’m like, I want to do it immediately to keep the

2:50:27 | structure, keep everything organized. That’s
the main thing for me, keep things organized.

2:50:32 | I never want to lose files or like that I lost
files. That’s really not cool. If you put a lot

2:50:40 | of effort in something and you lose it, not cool.
So that’s why I keep everything organized and this

2:50:45 | works like charm. Shout out to Rob Adams, credit
where credit is due, a videographer for weddings.

2:50:53 | He told me this 10 years ago, 11 years ago, and
I had to keep this with a lot of structure. So my

2:51:03 | video file is copied. So I will do this with
everything and then I will be back with you.

2:51:15 | So ladies and gentlemen, it is time to edit
our video. If I go to tutorials 701, I have

2:51:22 | my video files over here, both the camera videos
as the screen recordings. Okay. So what I will do,

2:51:33 | I use Adobe Premiere. In order to get it, go
to ferdy.com forward slash Adobe, hit enter.

2:51:40 | Not everything I have through ferdy.com is
an affiliate link, but I like to keep track of how many people click on the links I have in
my tutorials. So you can start a free trial. If

2:51:49 | you’re going to make sales, it’s worth the money.
It is $59.99 per month. But if you’re a student or

2:51:59 | you have a business, you get some discount. Let’s
see if you’re a student. If you’re a student,

2:52:07 | you can do this for $20 per month and man,
you get everything. Look at this, Photoshop,

2:52:14 | Adobe Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects. You
get everything you need in order to make amazing

2:52:19 | videos. So you can go for the seven day free
trial. So if you want to, you can create five

2:52:25 | videos in the first week in seven days without
having to pay anything. Then you click on continue

2:52:31 | and you need to fill in your email address and
all that stuff. Then you need to download this. I have already done this. So when you’ve done
that, search for Premiere. That’s what I will

2:52:41 | use and I’ll start from scratch so you can see
exactly what I will do. So I click on new project,

2:52:50 | I go to the folder, choose location and then I go
to tutorials, 701 project files and there I should

2:52:58 | call this one video to 3d character. Create, I by
the way use a Mac, you can also use a PC. Okay. I

2:53:13 | want to skip this so I click over here on skip.
Okay. Now I go to my finder, to tutorials. I

2:53:21 | want to go to 701 and I want to drag audio images.
Those first three folders, I want to drag them in,

2:53:30 | click on the name. So I have video, audio, images.
Then I create a new folder, for after effects,

2:53:44 | five sequences, and that’s it. Now I go to video,
I want to make sure that I grab the double click,

2:53:56 | the files from my computer screen, because that’s
the frame rate I want to have 60 frames and I drag

2:54:01 | it over here and then I will create a sequence.
Awesome. Then I have the sequence over here,

2:54:08 | I drag it all the way down and I close this. I
click on name, let me see. That’s fine. So then I

2:54:21 | go to video again, to the second one, the third
one, the fourth one, all with small capitals,

2:54:29 | no capitals. Those are all my screen files. Okay.
Then I want to drag them all a bit to the right,

2:54:41 | select the last four, drag them to the right,
select the last three, drag them to the right,

2:54:47 | the last two, the latest one. Because now I want
to add the R6 files, the video files. First one,

2:54:55 | holding control or you know what, I can do it one
by one. So I second one, the R6. The third one R6,

2:55:16 | the fourth one and the fifth one. What I like to
do, I like to keep things organized, that’s why I

2:55:25 | create this. All the R6 files, all the files with
my face on it, I want to select them, right mouse

2:55:32 | click, label and you can give them a certain
label. I created my own label so you can go to

2:55:38 | premiere, think settings, labels and then you can
rename them and give them another color. So I set

2:55:45 | orange. Okay. I want to go to Adobe edition.
That’s also in the Adobe collection, Adobe

2:55:54 | edition 2025 and all the files I created with my
desktop, my screen, those I want to drag them over

2:56:07 | here. This is a bit tricky because depending
on the microphone, depending on the settings,

2:56:15 | you can adjust the sounds. So right now it make
this better. So what I have done, I’ve created a

2:56:35 | template. I always say last applied rec. When
I hear this now, it. So much more vibrant,

2:56:48 | the audio is so much better in my opinion. So
what I’ve done, the first effect I added was dynamic processing. You can take a look at these
numbers, try to rebuild them. I’ve done so because

2:56:58 | I had those settings on my laptop. So I recreate
them over here. So that’s what you also can do.

2:57:04 | So here’s a point, here’s a point and then I have
the second parametric equalizer. You can just use

2:57:13 | the exact numbers but you can also play around
with it until you think like, hey I like this. The best thing you can do is use headphones and
see how bright, how nice the audio sounds. Then

2:57:26 | there’s a third one with some other settings and
the fourth one, the hard limiter, that means if

2:57:31 | the sound is a bit low, it will make it harder.
But if it’s too loud, it will make it less loud.

2:57:36 | So the audio waves, I will show you what happens.
They will be more on the same level. So if I talk

2:57:43 | soft or I talk louder, everything will maintain
the same audio. Otherwise, sometimes you’re like,

2:57:48 | I can’t hear you. And then the other moment
you’re like, well, this is too loud. So when you’ve done that, you can apply it. Look at this.
What happens to the waves? They all become bigger

2:57:59 | and more even like that. Then I say, command shift
E, I click on browse, I go to tutorials 701 audio,

2:58:12 | save it and then over here I rename it by getting
rid of the underscore 01. Okay. Second one,

2:58:22 | lost the pride, plight, wreck. Third one, lost
the pride applied, apply to rack. Fourth one,

2:58:29 | this is how I roll, this is how I do it. And
then I go to the second one, shift command E,

2:58:37 | arrow right, backspace, backspace, backspace,
three, command export, four, export, 5,

2:58:49 | export. Then I go to premiere, to the finder, to
audio, there they are. I drag them all over here

2:58:59 | and then I want to replace them with these ones,
the upper ones. They’re exactly the same length

2:59:06 | like that. If I hit arrow on the keyboard, arrow
down twice or three times, I end up at the second

2:59:13 | one and I drag that one over here. Make sure it
snaps. If you don’t see that, there’s an icon over

2:59:19 | here. The third one, the fourth one and the fifth
one. Okay. Then I click on the name or I click on

2:59:37 | the, let’s see, number one should be on top and
then I want to click on the label like that. I

2:59:49 | select all those and I direct them to the audio.
Okay. Now I want to sync the computer screen

2:59:56 | audio from the microphone with my video, because
right now it’s not the case. So you see they’re

3:00:06 | not synced. So I do this manually. So oftentimes I
clap so I can sync it because then there’s a high

3:00:13 | note somewhere. If I cannot find it, I just take a
look at a peak and I make sure that the blue audio

3:00:20 | lines up with the green audio. There’s a peak over
here. So what I can do, I can drag this to the

3:00:29 | right, click over here, click on the plus, plus,
plus, drag it to the right, plus, plus, plus, drag

3:00:36 | it to the right and then a command or control,
right, right. And now it’s exactly matching. Then

3:00:44 | I get rid of the blue audio, if that’s linked. So
if this is selected and I select this one, I also

3:00:52 | select this one. So make sure this is turned off,
linked selection, so I can get rid of this one.

3:00:57 | So now we have the video and audio in sync, and
the audio in sync. So there’s the video camera,

3:01:05 | the computer screen and the audio is all in sync.
So we’re going to do it a second time. I click

3:01:10 | on the orange one, I hold shift, I click on the
blue one and then I’m going to sync it. There is

3:01:18 | this one, I bring it over here, zoom in, command
left, left, left, left, left, left, left. Yes.

3:01:27 | So if I clap, yeah, it’s perfectly in sync. Get
rid of the lowest one. Then I go to the third

3:01:35 | one, plus, plus, plus, plus, hold, grab the orange
one, hold shift, grab the blue one. You can also

3:01:45 | make this bigger, so you can see better if it’s
aligning and you can also play around, play to

3:01:51 | hear if it’s aligning. So there it is. And then I
can say CMD left, CMD right two times. Awesome. So

3:02:05 | again, everywhere we have the orange one is the
camera, the blue one is the computer screen and

3:02:10 | the green one is the audio. So what I will do now,
arrow up, make sure that all the tracks are turned

3:02:20 | on here are all blue, arrow down, shift command K
and everything in front of it, backspace selected,

3:02:29 | arrow down, shift command K, so everything will
be cut from this point on, arrow down, arrow down,

3:02:40 | shift command K, get rid of this. Then I click on
the empty area, there’s a white area and if I hit

3:02:47 | backspace, it snaps. Arrow down, shift command
K, get rid of this one, arrow down twice, shift,

3:02:56 | command K. So I know it’s a lot, but you will get
better at it as you see how fast I can do this.

3:03:21 | So what I see over here, there is 32 minutes
of video and I need to bring this down to a

3:03:30 | shorter tutorial. I hope I can make it less
than eight minutes. So arrow up. I know I

3:03:38 | was also preparing for this tutorial.
So let me see when the tutorial starts.

3:03:50 | Okay. I already started here. So let’s see what
I do. Always a command S that’s over here. I

3:03:57 | have the timeline. I can scroll through it with
the mouse clicking on and dragging. So I want

3:04:03 | to search for the beginning and when I play, I hit
spacebar. When I want to search for the beginning, and when I play, I hit spacebar. When I want to
play it fast forward, I press L. If I want it to

3:04:14 | be even faster, and now times L, but I always
do L one time. So play, spacebar, L. And while

3:04:23 | I’m going through the timeline, I zoom in and I
zoom out so that my head, this area I call this

3:04:30 | the head, will always stay a bit in the center.
You don’t have to do that, that’s something I

3:04:36 | already have done for 15 years, so I don’t know.
It’s just a tick. Zoom out. Okay. I can skip this.

3:04:43 | So now I’m ready to record. Zoom out. Before we
get started, I want to show you one more thing.

3:04:49 | There is nothing to program with. Okay, I can skip
this. So the introduction is how to turn yourself

3:04:58 | into a 3D animation like this. So I’m going to
show you the introduction. So if I’m over here,

3:05:04 | everything before this can be gone. How can I do
that using Q? That’s it. If not everything snaps,

3:05:11 | make sure that all those tracks over here are
blue, V1, V2. So this, what I will do just before

3:05:18 | the audio starts over here this. I’m going to
do it again. Okay. So everything, because the

3:05:43 | first take was not good. Okay. When, when it is
done, I do shift five times to the right. One,

3:06:12 | two, Q and I don’t need this one anymore. So I
select it, option, delete. So it snaps at once to

3:06:22 | the right. Oh, okay. Shift, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 command
shift K, option, backspace. So now you don’t see

3:07:10 | my screen. If I would say shift command E, well
I select the orange one, then you will see my

3:07:16 | screen because it’s beneath, it’s in the track
beneath it. What I want to do, I want people

3:07:22 | to see me in a circle over here at the right
when people see my screen. So what I will do,

3:07:27 | I will select all the orange areas. Come on, see,
then I press the home key or arrow up, click on

3:07:36 | the plus. Now I lock this one and this one and I
paste it. So I’ve twice the same row. Then I want

3:07:45 | to hide the upper one, lock it. So over here,
I want to make this a circle around me and I

3:07:52 | put it in the corner so behind me, you can see the
screen. So before there was a really cool effect,

3:07:58 | it was called circle, but they got rid of it. But
I still got it. So what I will do, I will help you

3:08:05 | to get it. So we go to ferdy.com, forward slash
circle, hit enter, they will download something,

3:08:13 | you can keep it, it’s safe. Go to the finder,
open it, so there it is. Now I can open this by

3:08:23 | double clicking and then over here, there’s the
file. I go to effect controls, I want to copy the

3:08:31 | circle effect, then I go over here to video to 3d
character or the name of your sequence, click over

3:08:38 | here and paste it. Now I can adjust it. So in that
way, you can get it. I want to make it smaller,

3:08:47 | make sure I am in the center. You can scroll a bit
to see if you stay in the center. Okay. I’m happy

3:08:57 | with this. So now I need to go to motion, scale,
bring it back to 50. So it’s a lot smaller. Then

3:09:08 | I go to the right by the position. Let me drag
this down a bit. I want to drag this down. Maybe

3:09:32 | with it like that. I like to keep the aspect
ratio the same. So over here, it’s over here.

3:09:39 | So maybe a bit higher. Okay. And now I can hit the
tilde key, it’s next to the Z and then I see this

3:09:53 | panel as a whole. Okay. Let’s bring it back.
Also bring it up a bit. So what I want to do,

3:09:59 | the settings I have over here, near at the effect
controls, the motion, command C, I want to paste

3:10:06 | them everywhere. So I want to paste them over
here and I want to make a selection of those

3:10:12 | four and paste it. Okay. Then I want to go back
to the second one. I want to copy the circle,

3:10:21 | paste it over here. So it becomes a circle
and paste it over here. So everywhere I have

3:10:26 | a circle. So now when I get rid of this, what I
can do, if I want to show myself, I have this one

3:10:36 | active. If I don’t want to show myself, I do a cut
the aspect ratio 16 by 9, 1920. And if I want to

3:10:53 | bring myself back full frame, C, click, Command
Shift E, and I like that. So let’s continue. So

3:11:10 | I will go over here, shift 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, command
shift K, get rid of this. So I go to chat gpt,

3:11:33 | hold C, font E. Okay. What I will do, both the
orange tracks, I will select them, do option up,

3:11:48 | like that, and I want to use after effects. After
effects are really cool effects that you can use

3:11:54 | to create special effects. So when I want to
use special effects, I bring the track up so I know at the end of the tutorial when I edit
everything, okay, those areas should be used with

3:12:03 | after effects because I will do the after effects
later. Why? Because it’s called After Effects and

3:12:09 | not during effects. That’s why. I need to turn off
my camera because it’s getting too hot. It’s also

3:12:17 | very hot in here, but hey, I’m on the roll. So I
will continue but without the face camera. Okay.

3:12:24 | What I see is that I did not rename the video
files. So they’re still from the big affiliate marketing course. I’m making a course where I
show how to create a video. So there’s a lot of

3:12:32 | overlap with videos. It feels like inception. So
that’s why I did not rename this by accident. So

3:12:38 | because I direct this video into a sequence, into
a timeline, that’s also the name over here. So I

3:12:44 | want to change the name to video, to three, the
animation or character double click. So I want to

3:12:54 | continue to do that. So I go to chat G P when I
go to chat, GPT, let me make the audio wave less

3:13:04 | high. Then I do a right mouse click over here,
delete tracks. I want to delete all the tracks of audio and video that I don’t use. Oh, except
for those two, I want to drag them up, option up,

3:13:20 | or I select them all and I drag them up like that.
Okay. Now I want to zoom in. So I go to chat,

3:13:32 | I say C, paste or cut. I do a C over here and
then I select this one, option up. So now I know

3:13:46 | at the end of the tutorial after the editing,
hey, there is an area that I need to adjust with After Effects. And if your computer is not
handling the two tracks on top of each other,

3:13:59 | the computer screen 4k and a 4k video format,
then I can turn the eye on, I turn it off and then

3:14:06 | that way my computer has to load less and can work
faster. So I’ll continue to show bit bigger. Okay.

3:14:38 | There I go. So maybe you don’t have a studio yet,
but you just want to create a cool effect. Well,

3:14:44 | let me show you how you can use this in order to
put yourself into a studio. But first I want to drag this one over here and I want to give this
a prompt. So I will say, so I want to zoom in

3:14:52 | over here and I want to give this a prompt and
I want to use After Effects for that. Maybe it’s

3:14:57 | not necessary, but After Effects gives a style
that’s a bit better than Premiere. want to make it

3:15:03 | better. A lot of times people ask me, how do you
do those cool effects? I’m about to show you, I’m going to give away everything for free. And until
this point, it has not disappointed me in what I

3:15:15 | get back from it. So let’s go all in. So I will
say, oh, what I do, there’s, I see there’s nothing

3:15:24 | over here. So I say, come on, shift K until
it begins. And then I Q and I continue. Okay.

3:15:32 | Now I’ll go to my prompt because I don’t know the
prompt anymore. That’s not part of the tutorial.

3:15:38 | That’s part of the bigger tutorial where I explain
what is going on. So this should not be in the tutorial of this story I’m going to create for my
AI channel, but it’s for the tutorial of my other

3:15:49 | channel. It’s maybe a bit confusing. Turn me in.
So Q then over here, I lift it up shift arrow up

3:15:57 | because I want to zoom in for after effects. If it
takes too long, come on, shift K L L Q L monster.

3:16:10 | Okay. Until I start typing star style character Q,
turn me into a 3d. It’s all arrogant. Yeah. This

3:16:26 | whole era can be gone. When you edit the same
day that you record, sometimes you can remember

3:16:36 | it. So that that’s going to be handy. If you
edit it soon after you record it, turn me into a 3d Pixar style character. Once you escape, LL,
Q, blur the background, show the YouTube button

3:16:52 | at the right and a glance at the left, show the
back of my computer. I started all over again, I

3:16:59 | think. So that’s what I remember. I don’t like it.
This was all getting wrong. So I, so I remember,

3:17:10 | so I can skip this whole four minutes stuff.
me into a 3d Pixar style character. Okay. Now

3:17:28 | I’m missing a lot. So, um, I need to finish this
blur. The background show the YouTube button at

3:17:46 | the right and a plant at the left. Show the back
of my computer monitor. Make me super attractive.

3:17:54 | Hey, make the background, make it 16. I’m almost
there. In my editing, I wanted to look like there

3:18:01 | was no editing. There was no editing at all.
Blurry. Make it 16. Perfect. So after I say enter

3:18:13 | of a video, so a let’s say, see, click, bring this
down. So this whole area will be created in after

3:18:21 | effects. And then I zoom in and that’s a cool
effect. Let’s see what will be cooked over here.   This is what I will skip. Fast forward. Okay. I
like this one. So that’s the first one. Let’s see   what will be cooked over here at the jet GPT. This
is what I will skip. Fast forward. Okay. I like

3:18:30 | this one. So that’s the first one. What I also can
do is you don’t have a studio and photos. So this one, which I just created, I do the same prompt.
So I will zoom in again. I’ll do this video. I

3:19:02 | think it took me one and a half hour, maybe an
hour. I don’t know. I’m doing so many things, but I’ve done everything in one day, the preparation,
the recording, the editing. So now what I will do,

3:19:13 | I will show you what you can do with After
Effects. So first I do a right mouse click, delete tracks. So I keep it organized. Okay. So
what I will do, I will close, let me see, I bring

3:19:27 | this up one track, I close 4, 3, 1 and A. Then
I do an arrow down. Sorry, I also get rid of the

3:19:38 | blue thing. So only V2 is blue. Arrow down, then I
go to the first After Effects file. So what I do, right mouse click, replace with an After Effects
composition. It needs to load After Effects file.

3:19:44 | So what I do, right mouse click, replace with
an After Effects composition. It needs to load

3:19:51 | After Effects and when you do this for the first
time, it will ask you to save the file. And what I always do, I go to tutorials, to the project files
and give it the same name, video to character.

3:20:06 | Save it. Okay, there I go. Now I will drag this,
I will save it, CMD S, I’ll bring this all the way

3:20:12 | to the right, not all the way. Then I bring this
to the left. What I will do now, arrow down twice,

3:20:20 | one, two, and zoom out a bit, select this whole
area, right mouse click, replace with After

3:20:27 | Effects composition. Then the next one, replace
with an After Effects composition. The next one,

3:20:34 | and if they are next to each other, I always make
them one After Effects file, right mouse click,

3:20:42 | make a composition, right mouse click,
make a composition, right mouse click,

3:20:48 | make a composition. So here they are. Arrow down,
right mouse click. Here I select it because there

3:20:56 | are two in a row. Okay. Arrow down, right mouse
click. Thanks to video copilot, I learned how to

3:21:05 | work with After Effects. Thank you Andrew Kramer.
You’re my hero. Right mouse click, replace with

3:21:10 | After Effects composition and that’s it. So I
save the Premiere file, double click over here,

3:21:19 | I save this one. And when I have two compositions
over here, I always say command shift C and make

3:21:26 | it a composition. So this looks different than a
premier. So let me show you what I do. And in the

3:21:34 | beginning, it can be overwhelming. I do my best to
show it to you really easily. So what I do mostly

3:21:39 | is zooming in. So I click over here on the block
and on the motion blur. Then I hit P of Peter

3:21:48 | from Peter on my keyboard and shift and R Roy.
Then I create a key frame with the composition

3:21:56 | by clicking here and clicking here. And then I say
shift page down five times or six times, one, two,

3:22:02 | three, four, five, six, until I’m at a second.
Then over here at the position, the third option,

3:22:08 | that’s the zoom option. I zoom in and if I hold
shift, I zoom in faster. And at the orientation,

3:22:15 | the middle one, I go to minus five. So I get a
cool tilt. Then with my mouse, I click to the

3:22:22 | right to the area where I want to be. Okay. Then
I say page down, shift 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And then

3:22:33 | here at orientation in the middle, I do arrow down
a few times. 1, 2, 3, 4, not too much. I hit the

3:22:41 | key frame of the position. Now I select the first
keyframe, right mouse click, I make this a ease,

3:22:52 | ease. Then I say, I select them both, command
or control C, page down, command and control V.

3:23:02 | Then I go to the second area, right mouse click,
keyframe assistant, easy ease in, the other one,

3:23:10 | right mouse click, easy ease out. What I do,
normally I like to work productively, but when I’m

3:23:16 | doing this for a large tutorial, I really watch
a movie on my other screen, because this is just,

3:23:23 | when you get used to it, just doing it. For me,
for a long tutorial, it takes me one and a half

3:23:28 | hours. So what I do, this is the animation I
create. You see, scroll, you see a nice tilt

3:23:35 | and then go back. Okay. When it’s done, CMD S and
CMD or CTRL W, and then I will do the next one

3:23:42 | over here. I zoom in, ALT space, and then I click
this to the center. Then over here, layer, new

3:23:52 | adjustment layer. Then over here, I create the,
use the rectangle tool and I can select this area

3:24:01 | and I go to effects, Gaussian blur, drag it over
here, make this 60. Okay. Command W, Command A,

3:24:13 | Command Shift C, enter. This one, this one, and
sometimes I can copy it. So I go to project to

3:24:23 | comp 11, copy those two and go to nine, paste
them, U so I can see all the key frames. Then

3:24:32 | I go to 11 again, latest to command C, close
it over here. I think I should not do this. So,

3:24:52 | okay, there I go. One, two, three,
four, five. What is, oh yeah, I see it.

3:24:59 | Okay. If it’s too short, if the clip is really
short, I do one, two, three, one, two, three. So I have second, I zoom in again, then I go to
this area, I say 3, page down 1, 2, 3, maybe 2,

3:25:21 | 2 in value difference. So from 3 to 5, select this
command shift or a shift six, copy paste. Here I

3:25:30 | do shift seven, shift eight, but it’s because I
changed the shortcuts. So easy. So I went to after

3:25:39 | effects, edit keyword shortcuts, and then I search
for ease, easy ease in. So I select this one and

3:25:49 | then I said shift seven, and this one shift eight.
We need to do a two double click and then create

3:25:54 | it. So come on W. So let me do this real quick.
Pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam,

3:26:04 | pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam,
pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, pam, 4, 5, 6. I zoom in, that’s the first thing I do. Then with the mouse,
I find the right place. I say minus three. I

3:26:11 | do page down, shift 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, page up. I
bring it down a bit further, six months, paste,

3:26:21 | select seven, select eight. That’s how I roll.
The script again, so I can go to 11, paste it, you

3:26:36 | paste the latest one, drag it to the right. So I
come because it was at the same place. Okay. Close

3:26:44 | this one, close this one. Here for the Google
login, PR keyframe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Zoom in,

3:26:54 | middle 5, paste down 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, paste 7.
Okay. That’s it. So now when I go to, let me save

3:27:14 | it. When I go to after effects or to premiere,
everywhere it’s pink, there’s an after effects. So

3:27:23 | you see me over here and then you see that I zoom
in. I love it. So we’re almost there. What we need

3:27:32 | to add is some cool animations like swooshes.
We need to add some music in the beginning, maybe a subscribe button so people can subscribe,
like an invitation and then we’re going to export

3:27:42 | it. I’m going to do that tomorrow. Looking forward
to it. Thank you for watching this video and good

3:27:48 | luck making amazing tutorials. It’s a new day and
it’s time to continue with the tutorial. I’m so

3:27:54 | excited about everything I’m going to record today
for you. So the first thing I want to do today,

3:27:59 | I want to clean up my Premiere file. So over
here, all those files you see over here are After

3:28:05 | Effects files, those pink ones or red ones. So I
select the first one, I hold shift, I select the

3:28:12 | last one and I drag it here in the After Effects
folder. Then I close it and I go to the wave

3:28:20 | files and I bring them to audio, this one to video
and the work files also to video. I want this to

3:28:30 | be below. So let me see how I can do that. Yeah,
that’s how you can do it. One, two, three, four,

3:28:35 | five, and then the current sequence over here. So
that’s the first thing I wanted to do. Now I want

3:28:40 | to spice up our video a bit. I think it’s really
cool with our face over here, the animations, the

3:28:47 | audio is good. The video is good. What I want to
do now, I want to spice it up with some swooshes.

3:28:55 | So over here for free, the first thing we need to
do, we need to do for free. So I want to have a

3:29:05 | swoosh over here. What I do for every new chapter,
I make a mark using one or M and then over here,

3:29:17 | if I want to go to the next mark, I say shift M
and then I go over here to seamless transitions,

3:29:24 | to warp, warp and. I use the first one, but
before I do that, I close those and this one.

3:29:39 | So warp right, I double click, I wait till I
see over here that it’s imported. It’s imported.

3:29:48 | Okay. Now I zoom out, minus, minus, minus, and
now look at this. For free. The first thing we

3:29:55 | need… Don’t you think that’s cool? For free. The
first thing we need… So again, shift M, dot com,

3:30:04 | hit shift M. Let’s, I think there’s no, no, it’s
not necessary anymore to do it. Maybe at the end,

3:30:17 | and results in this tutorial, I’ll show
you how for free stone. Yes. So over here,

3:30:23 | I want to do it also. Plus, plus, plus, plus. Warp
right. Okay. But you don’t have this tool. So in

3:30:35 | order to get it, do that for free. So that’s okay.
I go to Google Chrome and I search for ferdy.com

3:30:45 | forward slash VH video. If I hit enter, now I’ll
be redirected to Envato markets. Let me see. I

3:30:57 | want to go to the video area and then I want to
search for swoosh or transitions, transitions,

3:31:07 | transition pack, I think it’s this one. This
from Envato, okay. I will scroll down. This one,

3:31:16 | $69. So it’s up to you if you want to buy this,
you have to buy it only once. Look at this,

3:31:23 | 28,000 sales. Look what this guy made. Calculator,
let’s say 28,000 times 69. Maybe I should make a

3:31:35 | tutorial on how to, it’s two million dollars
on how to make a tool or software. I use this,

3:31:43 | I love it. So if you want to buy this, click over
here, add to the cart, keep browsing. The second

3:31:52 | thing I want, I want to have a subscribe thing.
So what I do, if I ask for people to subscribe,

3:32:01 | I go to my finder, tutorials, misc, and I go for
a subscribe MOV. If I drag it over here, look at

3:32:15 | this, what happens? How to work with that, then
follow this tutorial and then you can learn more

3:32:20 | and I wish you the best in your AI journey. My
name is Ferdy, really nice animation. I just drag

3:32:26 | it wherever I want. So I can also do that halfway
through the video. Like, Hey, subscribe. I can

3:32:31 | drag it. And all the time, I, it will be better if
I would take a look where I place them. So if I do

3:32:37 | something really nice, then after that, like,
Hey, maybe this, this is the right moment for

3:32:46 | So there it is. I click on play. And then the
third thing, oh, first let’s search for that. So I

3:32:57 | search for subscribe animation. Yeah. Those things
for instance. But this Envato elements again,

3:33:10 | that’s also cool. That is a subscription and then
you can use everything that’s in it. Millions of

3:33:15 | files. So this could be good enough. Yeah, this
one, you see the one a lot. Let me see. something

3:33:29 | like that. I like it to be, I don’t like this.
It’s totally not in the style of YouTube. So

3:33:39 | something like and subscribe. Yeah, I think this
one would be great. So you can buy this or add

3:34:05 | it to the cart, add it to the cart. Is it added
to the cart? Yes. Keep browsing. One more thing.

3:34:15 | I want to have a song in my video. So I have a
song. I think it’s called the channel song. See,

3:34:25 | where is it? Channel song. Okay. What I need to
do, I need to drag it all the way down. Okay.

3:34:34 | Then I bring the audio gain to minus 20. Let me
see. Let’s start there. In this store, maybe,

3:34:50 | um, audio gain, set it to minus 15. Let’s
see what happens. I’ll show you how to turn

3:34:57 | yourself into an animation like this. Let
me show you how you can do that for free.

3:35:02 | The first thing we need to do, we need to turn
one of our images into a 3d character. We can use chat. You can use chat. Okay. What I can
do, I can unlock this and I can mute my audio,

3:35:14 | hit the tilde key, bring this down, zoom in.
Okay. From that point on the new higher wave,

3:35:31 | I want to give it a nice fade. So I also
search over here. Yes. So also here, C, click,

3:35:45 | remove this and bring this all the way here, zoom
in. So let’s see if there’s a fluid transition.

3:35:59 | Not too fluid. So what I will do, I make this
blue, A4, arrow down, command shift D, then I

3:36:10 | make it a bit smaller. Listen to this. Awesome. So
I have a small intro, so now everything together,

3:36:25 | arrow up or page up in this store, I’ll show you
how to turn yourself into an animation like this.

3:36:32 | Let me show you how you can do that for free. The
first thing we need to do, we need to turn one of our images into a 3d character. We can use chat
to do that. And to be honest, I think after the

3:36:42 | introduction, the audio can be gone. So I will
get rid of this. I only use this one. In this

3:36:49 | tutorial, I’ll show you how to turn yourself into
an animation like this. Let me show you how you

3:36:54 | can do that for free. The first thing we need to
do, we need to turn one of our images into a 3D. I

3:36:59 | love it. Channel song goes to audio. So in order
to get a channel song, we go to audio and then

3:37:12 | all items are music, I understand why this is the
most popular one. So you can click on add to cart,

3:37:48 | add to the cart, go to the checkout. But now,
we have only one thing in the shopping cart,

3:37:54 | so we need to go back to video. There I have two
things and I want to go to the checkout. I can

3:38:04 | continue with Google and then you need to create
an account. I already have an account and then you

3:38:10 | can pay with PayPal or credit card or other ways.
Then you’ll download those, unzip them, then you

3:38:17 | drag them into Premiere, just like I did with the
subscribe thing and with the check thing. And the

3:38:23 | seamless transitions is something that needs to be
installed, but there are really clear instructions on how to do that. So now we’ve spiced up our
video with a few things, with a subscribe button

3:38:34 | now and there, now and then, or here and there,
with some transitions and with some music. And the

3:38:41 | great thing is with the transition, there’s also
sound. That’s for free. The first you see over

3:38:48 | here. So, um, I’m happy. So we’re going to the
next part of the tutorial. We’re going to export

3:38:59 | the video. And in order to do that, we click
on commands M or over here, fell export media.

3:39:10 | You need to do that while this sequence is active.
So while there’s a blue line, file, export media,

3:39:21 | then I go to presets and I want to go for YouTube
high quality, YouTube ultra HD. That’s it. So the

3:39:33 | entire source, then I click over here on location,
I go to tutorials, 701 finals and then give this

3:39:43 | a good title because that’s also something that
YouTube takes a look at. So if I could say create

3:40:20 | a 3D avatar for free or create your own. It’s
about what people are searching for. So what

3:40:30 | would people search for? Create your own 3d avatar
for free using AI. Everything with AI is super hot

3:40:39 | and interesting. Now, since you have premier pro,
you also have the media encoder. You can click on export, but you can also send it to the media
encoder. And that’s what I prefer because then

3:40:47 | I see the progress of where I am in encoding
the tutorial or in exporting the tutorial. So

3:40:54 | there it goes. I love the whole Adobe creative
suite. Everything works together. It works with

3:41:00 | Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, even though
I don’t use InDesign only. Now and then wanting

3:41:06 | to put things together for a PDF. So ready,
I click on play. And I think since the video

3:41:13 | that’s 10 minutes, it will take also 10 minutes.
So congratulations. If you follow along and you,

3:41:22 | you did all the steps I said, then that means
that you’re exporting your first video right now.

3:41:28 | I hope you can appreciate it. If you do so, please
like the video, give a comment to appreciate it or if you have any question, let me know. I will be
back with you when the export is finished. Right

3:41:40 | now, what I see is that it’s taking longer, 22
minutes, 23. That’s because the after effects use,

3:41:46 | I use motion blur in that and that will slow
down the export like crazy. If it’s up to me, I

3:41:51 | export long tutorials. For instance, this one I’m
recording right now is probably six hours, maybe longer. I don’t know. But that export will take
a whole day. So I prefer to export at night when

3:42:01 | I stop working. But when the video is 10 minutes,
I’m like, okay, let’s go for it. What also makes it really longer is that I use myself in the
video. As you see over here with the round thing.

3:42:11 | So that’s also what makes it slower. But at the
end of the day, it’s all adding up to the quality

3:42:17 | of the video. I’m really excited to upload this
today. I hope people will see it and think like,

3:42:23 | hey, I want to subscribe to this. So I’ve also
seen a lot of AI videos that I’m like, what, what

3:42:28 | there’s so much you can do with AI. I have this
YouTube channel already, but if I would start over

3:42:33 | from scratch, I would give this my all. I would
go in and I know that in six months I can do this for a living. If I go on, maybe I can combine it a
bit because I really like AI and explaining things

3:42:44 | to other people and in the same way make money
with it. Maybe I can combine it with my current YouTube channel. I don’t know yet, but for now, I
stopped the recording and I will be back with you

3:42:53 | when the recording is finished. While our video is
exported, we can also export the audio and I will

3:43:00 | tell you why I will do that because we’re going to
create subtitles and I have a tool that will help you to do that. You can do that with YouTube if
you want to, but you can also do that using a tool

3:43:08 | that is really cool and helps you and help you to
get really good subtitles. So it’s not mandatory,

3:43:15 | but I always do this. What I will do, I will mute
all the sounds that are not from my audio. So I

3:43:24 | say command M again or export. And this time I
want to use the format MP3. I want to go to audio

3:43:34 | and I want to go for the best quality. I go to
the location and I say the video to 3d animation.

3:43:45 | Okay. Then instead of going to send it to media
coder, I can export it at once and it will take

3:43:50 | probably five seconds. Now I go to the internet
to ferdy.com forward slash co-ca-to. And now we

3:44:02 | can sign up or we can get started for free. No
credit card required. And you need to create an account with your email address or password. I
already have that. So I click on login, continue.

3:44:12 | I use this for every single video I create. Now
I go to the finder, to tutorials or let’s see

3:44:19 | 701 finals audio. I drag it over here. It will be
uploaded. Now I can view the files and in no time,

3:44:32 | the transcoding will be done and I have amazing
subtitles. And the great thing is I can use those

3:44:39 | subtitles to use chat GPT to create a beautiful
description for my YouTube video or create the

3:44:45 | text for my YouTube video or create a blog post
based on what I cover in the tutorial. So that’s

3:44:52 | also really great advantage of using this method.
But at the other hand, you can also do that with the subtitles that are created by YouTube. So
again, it’s not mandatory, but as I, as you know,

3:45:01 | probably by now, I want to use the best tools,
the best cameras, the best lighting, and this is, in my opinion, the best tool. Look at this, to
create the best subtitles. In the story, I’ll show

3:45:12 | you how to turn yourself into an animation like
this. I almost never see an error. The only thing

3:45:21 | is when I export it, let me export it as a txt,
I check nothing, export. The only thing I have to

3:45:29 | do, let me click on it. I need to go to edit, find
and replace and everywhere there are two spaces,

3:45:39 | I need to replace it with one. It’s on 80 places,
all and then the first one one I get rid of the

3:45:46 | space. Okay. Let me save it for now. And then
later I can use it in YouTube. So now we also

3:45:53 | have beautiful transcriptions. So as you see over
here, our video is finished. The export. So I go

3:46:05 | to tutorials, the final folder over here. Okay. I
also have the audio. So ladies and gentlemen, it

3:46:23 | is time to put our video on YouTube. And in order
to do that, we need to have a Gmail account. If

3:46:29 | you don’t have one yet, let me show you how to get
one. So in order to do it, we go to accounts. You

3:46:34 | know what? I’ll use an incognito window. That is a
window as if you’re never, if you’re never logged

3:46:40 | in yet. So you’re a new Then I go to gmail.com
and I can sign in or continue to Gmail. Well,

3:46:52 | I want to create an account. So I click over
here or my personal use or worker business. I

3:46:58 | say personal use. My first name is Ferdie. I lost
name is optional. So I leave them at what my first

3:47:05 | name next. I’m from June the 28th, 1986. AI Ferdy
already available. Ferdy Korper, Ferdy Korper AI.

3:47:44 | Okay. I need to create a password. I click on
next. I need to fill in my phone number. Now I

3:47:52 | get a confirmation code on my phone. I click on
next recovery email. The one I always use for my

3:48:01 | business. Get more from your number. No, thank
you. I want to skip this, choose your settings,

3:48:10 | I want to make one choice and I click on accept
all, confirm. Of course, you should read this.

3:48:22 | So I have my Google email accounts, my Gmail
accounts with the Gmail account. We can create

3:48:30 | a YouTube account. So that’s the next step.
We’ll take turn off smart features, turn off

3:48:39 | and turn off. Okay. Now I want to go to YouTube
and create a YouTube account. So ask me in a week,

3:48:58 | here’s my account Ferdy Korper AI. Now I want to
create a channel and the name I want it to be,

3:49:07 | I want it to be Ferdy Korper. It’s both available,
I want to select a picture from my computer, I’ll

3:49:15 | choose this one and then I click on done. Okay,
this is an important moment. This moment can mark

3:49:24 | a really important part of your life. I’m going
to click on create channel. Ladies and gentlemen,

3:49:30 | we have our own YouTube channel. There you go. It
can take some while, take a while before the app

3:49:37 | becomes a picture or just to make things sure I
can click over here again, continue. There it is.

3:49:44 | So for now, I want to create a video, upload my
video. So what I will do, I will click on create,

3:49:53 | upload videos, select files, then I want to go
to tutorials, 701, finals, I want to upload this

3:50:03 | video. Since I already have a YouTube channel, I
want to have my second YouTube channel in the same

3:50:09 | account as the first one. Since I already have a
YouTube channel, I want to have my second YouTube   channel in the same account as the first one. So
I showed you how to create it from scratch. Now I   will create a new one, a second channel. Let’s
see if ferdy.ai is still available. Ferdy.ai,

3:50:20 | create channel, awesome. I click over here to see
if that’s the same thing that my picture will be

3:50:25 | added automatically. Yes. So it’s time to upload
my first video. I click on create, upload videos,

3:50:36 | select files, then I go to tutorials, 701, finals
and there it is. 2.81 megabytes or gigabytes. So

3:50:48 | it can take a while. My internet connection is
not that fast over here, but it is what it is.

3:50:54 | 12 minutes, that’s doable. But in the meantime, we
can create a title. So create your own 3d avatar

3:51:00 | for free using AI. And now our subtitles come
into place. By the way, what you see over here

3:51:06 | is vidIQ, how I create, how I made a three day,
maybe that’s even better. So I get suggestions

3:51:18 | from vidIQ. If you want to learn more, you can go
to ferdy.com forward slash vidIQ. That’s the tool

3:51:26 | I do not suggest you get it. You can get the free
version right now, but first it’s time to get our content out there. So what I will do, I will go
to chat GPT. Remember we created subtitles. So,

3:51:43 | I copy this and I say, give me a perfect
converting YouTube video description based on

3:51:56 | the subtitles of the video below. Okay. So that’s
the description that I will place over here.

3:52:16 | No studio, no problem. Really nice. So I copy
this, paste it. This is so cool. Then over here,

3:52:29 | I want to have three hashtags, you know, 3d
animation, Kling AI. Okay. So then I say over

3:53:00 | here, based on the information above, give
me max 500 characters of YouTube video text

3:53:14 | related to the information above. I already
said that, but hey, just in case. So now I get

3:53:22 | a different format. Look at this. Copy and it
says Pixar style animation, chat GPT tutorial,

3:53:29 | Kling AI. So I just paste those over here at
the text. Over here, I have to say it’s not

3:53:42 | made for kids. It’s made for kids, that’s what I
mean. No, no, it’s not made for kids. It’s made, it’s made for kids. That’s what I mean. No,
no, it’s not made for kids. It’s for adults.

3:53:52 | Playlist. I create a new playlist and I call
this one AI tutorials. Create done. I should

3:54:06 | upload a thumbnail. I’m going to talk about it in
a minute. I click on next subtitles. That will be

3:54:16 | activated when we have confirmed our accounts.
So right now it’s okay. Checks, we are checking

3:54:23 | things and then I can schedule this for today, the
28th of May. It is, so I can say 2 PM. Schedule.

3:54:41 | Okay. It needs eight minutes yet to upload the
video because my internet connection is really

3:54:49 | slow. I go to content, so there it goes and now
it’s time to create a thumbnail. Let me show you,

3:54:58 | I go to Photoshop, that’s my favorite way and
we can make it really simple. What I can do,

3:55:09 | I can go to my tutorial, I can go to this one,
images, are they here? Let me go to downloads,

3:55:20 | this one and this one. I copy
those, go to tutorials, images,

3:55:31 | and I say any or caretter 01, 02.
Now I click on new file, the width

3:55:49 | 1920 by 1080, resolution 72, and then I can
do something like this and then a big text.

3:56:20 | Create this for free. Command A, I use Avenir as a
font. I’ll make it bigger. Now what I like to do,

3:56:40 | maybe there’s a better way, but I like to drag
a selection. No, no, no, no. I like to go over

3:56:46 | here to rectangle, drag it over here, the bigger,
okay. And then I go to the text over here, I make

3:57:02 | it bigger and I change the line height. So I bring
it up and then let me see. I click over here,

3:57:18 | I make sure it cannot go anywhere anymore.
So I lock it. So I can drag this one here,

3:57:24 | then I go to edit, transform, scale. I hold
nothing. I just drag it over here, make it a

3:57:31 | bit bigger. Okay. I can change the color, make
it stand out. So what I do now, I hold option,

3:58:11 | transform, scale, bring it to the left and then
this one and this is a matter of trying. What is

3:58:22 | converting better? I have a tool that can do
split testing, I love that. So you can always optimize your logos. I can also bring it to the
right a bit like that, have a dark background.

3:58:37 | Let’s say, let’s grab a color, this one for
instance, and I paste it here. Okay. And then

3:58:44 | what I want to do with this over here, I want to
create a mask by clicking here. Then I want to

3:58:54 | go to the brush tool, to black, right bracket.
So I make it bigger. I click over here. I make

3:59:01 | the hardness really soft. I hold shift and I
drag it down, up and down, like that. Then I

3:59:12 | go to the rectangle, hold shift, let me get
rid of this text block, try to unlock it,

3:59:19 | hold shift, rectangle 1, right, right. And this
whole area can be, I think it’s great how it is.

3:59:38 | Okay. Then I want to do something with this
picture. Okay. So I click over here. Then I go

3:59:43 | to single adjustments here at adjustments. And I
want to go for curves, click over here so it will

3:59:49 | only be applied to this layer over here. Make it
pop. Okay. And then I want to go over here, make

4:00:09 | it a bit lighter or make a gradient by doing this,
blending options, gradient from left to right and

4:00:28 | then the first color is this one. And the second
color which can be here is this one. Let me see.

4:00:45 | Okay. So that pops a bit more and sometimes
what is working is to create a line. So I

4:00:54 | right mouse click, blending options, stroke at the
inside. Does it work? It only works when you have

4:01:03 | content over here. So I create something with this
tool, I click over here and then I go to the fill

4:01:10 | and I get rid of it. And now I can use the same
20 or 25. Okay. Create this for free. Okay. Then

4:01:29 | I do file, export, save for web, 100% totally
fine. Save it. And I call this one, create this

4:01:44 | animation for free. Okay. Now I click over here,
details, scroll down, upload files, unlock more

4:01:58 | on YouTube to add custom thumbnails, verify
your phone number. text me the verification,

4:02:08 | confirmation, submit. You can go to my desktop,
there it is. Then I click on save. Now in 49

4:02:43 | minutes or 39 minutes, my video will be published.
So let me continue from this point on because,

4:02:50 | um, that’s cameras overheating. So I will use
this camera as that. So I want to, uh, shit,

4:02:56 | tell you that there are no restrictions. And if I
take a look over here, it’s not live yet in this,

4:03:03 | but I can see it’s in HD already. And it’s
also in full 4k. So full resolution. So my

4:03:10 | video is finished. Now I want to play some, um,
subscriptions or subtitles. So let me show you,

4:03:19 | I can go over here at subtitles, set a
language. Well, by default it is English.

4:03:27 | Let’s see English, I do English United States. No,
I just do English. Make this default language for

4:03:36 | my channel. Okay. Well then there’s automatic
captions. I want to upload my own captions. So I click over here, subtitles, English video
language, click over here and then I can go to

4:03:48 | auto sync. Then I want to go to my text file, copy
it and paste it and look at this. Automatically,

4:03:57 | I used to pay a lot of money for people to do
this manually and now it’s all done the right way. Okay. The only thing I want to do, I want
to check the links I use. So if I say to people

4:04:24 | AI, chat GPT. I click on publish and it can be
handy if you also give different subtitles. So

4:04:40 | the automatic one, I remove it. I can add another
language. Well well if you get more statistics,

4:04:46 | you see which people watch your videos the most.
So I could say Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Dutch

4:05:04 | and then I can click on Dutch, auto translate by
Google, Hindi, auto translate, publish. And as

4:05:18 | soon as somebody said in the comments says, do you
want to, okay, also at this language, I always do

4:05:23 | that for the upcoming videos because then I want
to help people to follow my videos. Auto translate

4:05:35 | and then it’s almost time that we’re going to
publish this. Auto translate, publish. Okay.

4:05:47 | I go back, everything is looking great. So what I
will do, I will click on this on details and then

4:05:56 | I want to scroll down, change the visibility
from schedule to public, done. And now I want

4:06:07 | to save it. And that means that we are live.
Our first video is live. So in this tutorial,

4:06:17 | I’ll show you how to turn yourself into an
animation like this. Let me show you how you

4:06:22 | can do that for free. The first thing we need
to do, we need to turn one of our images into a 3d character. We can use chat GPT to do that.
So I go to chat G P T dot com, hit enter. You

4:06:33 | can sign up for free. What I will do now. So let
me tell you what happens. I uploaded the video,

4:06:45 | but before I uploaded the video, I exported
the video, but before I uploaded the video, I exported the video, but then only the
audio. And when I exported the audio,

4:06:51 | I turned off all the other layers. So if I go to
the video, the background music, the swooshes,

4:06:58 | they were all turned off. So after I uploaded
the video to YouTube, I had to export it again,

4:07:04 | wait for an hour. I uploaded it again, now it’s
an hour later and those are things that are things

4:07:09 | that just happen sometimes. So I could think, you
know what, I’ll just upload it and publish it, but

4:07:17 | then it’s not, it takes an hour and now for the
rest of my life, this will be my first video that

4:07:24 | I upload on this YouTube channel and I can feel
good about it instead of, oh that was the video that was not perfectly. So that’s what I wanted
to share with you that sometimes things go like

4:07:35 | that. So what’s happening now in four minutes, the
video will go live. So what I will do, I will use

4:07:41 | all my resources, all my social media channels
to share this video with people. So I have a,

4:07:48 | an email list. I have my Instagram, I have my
Facebook, I have LinkedIn, and I’ll do my best

4:07:58 | to make people watch. So the first people start
to watch. So the, the statistics can start and you

4:08:04 | can see how well my video is doing and decide
if it will share this video with more people. The first thing I want to do, I want to click
over here. Let me see. I have four minutes

4:08:14 | left. Okay. So what I will do, I’ll go create a
new broadcast based on the information above. I

4:08:30 | want to tell my email list that I made my first
video for a… let’s see what it comes up with.

4:08:44 | Okay. I’ll just write it myself and let AI make
it better. Okay. So it’s, the video is live. So

4:09:20 | let’s see. Yeah, it’s live. So what I want
to do, click on share, copy this link,

4:09:31 | place it here, command K, paste it, apply. So
let me copy this. Okay. I click on continue,

4:09:51 | send email to everybody, 55,000 people,
continue, send broadcast. Then message

4:10:35 | for Facebook.

4:10:42 | Then I go to the video again, share, copy. So the
game has begun. When I have my first subscriber,

4:10:57 | I will celebrate. When I have my first view, I
will celebrate. Okay. Let me see if it pops up.

4:11:08 | Next post, then I here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

4:11:39 | It’s posting. So I sent an email. I posted it on
Facebook and posted on LinkedIn. And I can also

4:11:49 | post on social media like Instagram. So now we
have published something and it is online. Now

4:11:59 | the journey can start and we should not stop
here. Of course we need to continue. I already have an idea for a second video. So not a lot of
views yet, but let’s see how it will go. I have

4:12:15 | the idea that everything is quite dark over here.
So maybe I should lighten it up for my next video

4:12:22 | and so I can keep on improving. So we’ve done so
many things already. Congratulations with that.

4:12:31 | It’s now a day later, let me refresh this
studio page from YouTube. What I see 578 views,

4:12:39 | 11 comments, a lot of likes, but what I need to
do now, if I go to my website ferdykorper.com,

4:12:47 | to the backend, and I go to tools, redirection, I
see that four people already clicked on Cling AI,

4:12:55 | but I have no affiliate link yet. So let me
show you how to apply to become an affiliate. So I go to clingai.com, the first step, this
first place I always look is on the homepage,

4:13:06 | all the way down and it says affiliate program.
Become a Kling AI affiliate. Apply now. I need

4:13:17 | to sign up. Really important to read this. It is,
they use impact.com, that’s an affiliate network.

4:13:28 | It seems that you get 25% in credit. Let’s
find out. Accept, sign in with impact. This is,

4:13:46 | this is different for every single program
you want to apply for. So I just go through these steps and we see which one should
I take? I don’t know. I’ll do this one.

4:13:59 | I agree. I approve the contract. Okay. So
now over here, when I will be approved,

4:14:14 | I can create a link by selecting Cling AI,
then I grab this link, then I go to my website,

4:14:24 | edit this, paste it and then when people
buy something through my affiliate link,

4:14:30 | through my tutorials which I created for free
on YouTube, I make money. So as I said before,

4:14:38 | this is different for every single affiliate
program, so that’s why I just went through it. I cannot explain how it will work with
your affiliate program but when I’m accepted,

4:14:46 | I get an email and then I will change this
redirection link and I can start to make money.

4:14:58 | Now I want to turn my video into a blog post. I
want to share my video on my website and I want

4:15:04 | to have a blog post below that. So in order to
do that, I click over here and go to the video,

4:15:11 | copy that link, then I go to my website, to
post, add post, I need to give this a title.

4:15:22 | Let me ask for chat GPT’s help, I go to downloads,
to the transcription, then I go to chat GPT,

4:15:31 | give me a blog title and blog post based on
the transcription of a YouTube video below.

4:15:44 | Look at this. And since we are the owner of this
video, this is perfectly fine to use AI to write

4:15:50 | a blog post for you. How to turn yourself,
turn yourself into a 3d corrector for free,

4:15:58 | step by step tutorial. So I can grab
this, copy. Okay. What I could say,

4:16:10 | if I want to, I could say rewrite it and
use Kling AI and 3D animated animated

4:16:24 | character a few times as keyword in the
tutorial, in the blog post. Absolutely.

4:16:39 | So awesome. Let’s use Cling AI as keyword. So
I do it again and here’s the blog post. I want

4:16:51 | to copy this whole thing. I love it. I love it.
Copy, copy. I paste it here. Then I need to see

4:17:01 | if the format is okay. Change this to a heading.
It’s already there, so let’s get rid of it. Click

4:17:10 | over here, change It looks really good. So
if I publish it and I go to the homepage,

4:17:34 | let’s close this for now. I go to the website,
I scroll down, I see this and if I click on it,

4:17:41 | it looks like this. Well let’s spice this up
because this can be done better. What I will do,

4:17:47 | I will go to tinypng.com, drop your images here,
then I go to the desktop and I grab this image

4:17:57 | which is now 1.4 megabytes and I want to make it
smaller. We want to maintain a fast website. So

4:18:05 | it will be optimized, 263 kilobytes. I download
it, I already have it over here. So now I want

4:18:11 | to go to the blog post by clicking here, edit
the post, set a featured image, upload files,

4:18:19 | select files, then I go to my downloads and I grab
this one, then I get rid over here of the dashes.

4:18:33 | What I should have done or what I will do, I
delete this. I will copy this. I’ll go to my

4:18:45 | downloads and rename it because I can be found
based on the images. So if people search for

4:18:53 | Kling AI tutorial, sometimes Google shows images
and then if you have not renamed them correctly,

4:19:03 | this will not appear over here in the
search results. If your image is called 0001, it will not be shown over here,
but if your image has a keyword in it,

4:19:14 | then it can be found in the search results. So
upload files and then we have this beautiful

4:19:22 | image. I copy the title with beautiful text, I
paste it in the alt text and in the description,

4:19:30 | set the featured image. Okay. Then I want
to scroll down, go to Yoast and I will use

4:19:39 | cling AI as the phrase I want to be, the main
keyword I want to be found on, this is Yoast SEO.

4:19:50 | Okay. Then I’ll go to blog C, sorry, not to blog
C, enter. Okay. I can also have a new category,

4:20:15 | Cling AI. I can also have a subcategory. So I can
have AI tools and then as a subcategory, clean AI,

4:20:25 | for now, it’s, it’s fine. And then here at the
tax, I can have keywords, clean AI, comma, 3d

4:20:34 | animation, comma, 3d character movie to animation.
So now I can also be found based on tax or I can,

4:20:49 | the structure of my website will be quite easy
when you use categories. So if I click over here,

4:20:55 | I go to the website, I go to the blog post,
then I see I use those two categories. If I

4:21:01 | click on this category, I’ll see all the blog
posts that have this category and in that way,

4:21:09 | people can navigate through
the website more easily. Okay. I’ll get rid of blog posts too. Edit post,
move to the trash or I go to the back end to post,

4:21:23 | select those two, bulk actions, move to the trash,
apply. I go to the trash and then I click on empty

4:21:31 | the trash. So now if I go to the homepage, I have
only one blog post with a tutorial in it. No,

4:21:40 | the tutorial is not there anymore. Let me
edit the post. Okay. Enter forward slash

4:22:13 | here. There you go. What we can do now, we
can add images and we can do that based on

4:22:23 | Adobe Premiere. So what I will do, I will
get rid of my face like that. Okay. Now

4:22:28 | I’ll read the blog post. You can do it all for
free. So I will grab, I can go to tutorials,

4:22:45 | images, character one, and let me see. I can go
to premiere. So I can do two things. If you go

4:23:33 | to Google, it can be anything. So this is more
square. You see a lot of 16 by 9. So that’s what

4:23:44 | I also want to do. So what I’ll do, I will, let me
see, edit. Let me uncheck this. Then I go to edit,

4:23:58 | transform, scale. Let’s see how we can do
this. Copy. You know what I will make? Okay.

4:24:27 | I will make this one smaller and I will make sure
they have the same size. They don’t have to will

4:24:56 | make a selection. So I will create a different
original, top, create it using chat GPT. You

4:25:26 | cannot be ranked for text in an image at this
moment. Then I say command option, shift S or over

4:25:36 | here, file, export, save for web. And then also
this should have a name that people can search

4:25:49 | for. So I say video to 3D character animation.
Okay. Then I’m going to create a second one and

4:26:08 | I want to go to tiny PNG, drop those two images
because they’re 1.4 and 1.5 megabytes. And this is

4:26:18 | also, I will take quite some time for this because
I want it to be a great experience for the viewer

4:26:27 | to read this blog post. So in the store, I’ll
walk you through the studio, no problem. Okay.

4:26:36 | So here I’ll say forward slash image, upload,
then I go to the downloads, this one. And then I

4:26:48 | can have a text. I can have an alternative text. I
turned this image into this animated 3d character

4:27:05 | or this, or the even animated yet. Okay. Now I
should show the example. The second one, turn

4:27:29 | your photo into an animated character with chat
GPT. Okay. So what I can do, I can go to Premiere.

4:28:09 | Okay. I make a picture by clicking
here. Okay. And I want to open it

4:28:15 | in Photoshop. I change the size to
1920 and I say, my blog post, image,

4:28:57 | as I said in the beginning of the tutorial,
it’s hard work. This takes time. I’m taking the time because in the long run, I know it can
make you a lot of money. What you put in it is

4:29:08 | what you get out of it. I have to download
the image, upload, downloads, there you go.

4:29:28 | Animate it with cling. And then I can it and that
ladies and gentlemen is how you can create a blog

4:29:57 | post. So I go to it, people can watch the video
from here and the great thing is that if they

4:30:02 | watch the tutorial from your website, then it will
also count as time that people are on your website

4:30:08 | which will rank your website better. So a few
images, nice example and then people can leave

4:30:18 | a comment and over here, I go to appearance,
widgets, then over here, I want to replace

4:30:37 | this one, upload, downloads, Cling AI and then
link it to https://ferdykorper.com forward slash

4:30:48 | Cling AI in a new tab. Update. So now if I go to
the website and I go to the blog post and people

4:31:04 | start reading, they’re like, okay, interesting.
I want to use it. I click over here and then my

4:31:09 | affiliate link will be used. And that is the way
the cookie crumbles. Remember that I told you that

4:31:22 | when people watch two of your videos on YouTube,
you will be in their algorithm. So your videos

4:31:27 | will pop up as a suggestion on their YouTube
channel. That is for me, the main reason why I

4:31:33 | create shorts. I have to say, I do not focus a lot
on making shorts, but I know if you get a short,

4:31:39 | create a short that will go viral, it can
tremendously impact your channel and that

4:31:44 | will also reach your boost for other tutorials.
So I have tutorials, not short form, but long form

4:31:50 | tutorials that will generate me the money, but
with the short form, I can grow my audience. So

4:31:56 | that’s the reason why I create shorts and that’s
why I want my shorts to be amazing. So the first thing I want to do when I want to create shorts,
I want to do market research. So I go to YouTube,

4:32:03 | I’m in the AI niche. So I searched for the
best AI tool and then short 40,000 views.

4:32:17 | Look at this 558, a half a million. So if I watch
this, well, that was actually a very bad short.

4:32:28 | It did not say a lot. Let’s take a look at the
comments. Okay. So let’s go back. What I can do,

4:32:43 | I heard that AI voice, sometimes I think, Hey, how
can you create that? So I can search for how to

4:32:50 | create that AI voice because everybody should know
which one it is. How to get the viral AI voice,

4:32:59 | 400,000 views. Here’s how to get the viral AI
voice you’ve been seeing everywhere. First,

4:33:04 | go to 11labs and sign up. I go to my notes,
first short AI voice 11labs.com, I think, or IO.

4:33:29 | What is next? Free account, Google, tens speech
sentences and choose the name Adam. Choose Adam

4:33:53 | voice. Wow! The short is like 15 seconds. So
400,000 views and what you, the great thing

4:34:08 | is you can click over here and then go to a,
then you go to a long form tutorial. So I can create a short of every tutorial I make. So I
made a tutorial on how to do the 3d character

4:34:17 | animation. I can make a video about that or about
this voice. Let’s go with the one that can refer

4:34:22 | to my longer tutorials. So that will be a 3D
character animation. That’s how I do research,

4:34:30 | just go to YouTube. So what I will do now, I will
start talking about the text I want to say in my

4:34:38 | script. I can go to chat.jpt. I can start typing,
give me the perfect script for a short about how

4:34:50 | to turn yourself into a moving animation, moving
3d animation. Then I can write my script and make

4:35:05 | the script better. Make this script for short
better. So let’s see. Well, there it is. So

4:35:39 | what I want to do, I want to show my face in the
beginning of the video and then I want to overlap that with the 3D character I’m going to create.
And after that, I’m just going to read what it

4:35:49 | says in a really nice way. Then I’m going to cut
the audio into a maximum of 60 seconds short,

4:35:56 | and then I’m going to add a video files and I will
show you how I will do that. So I’m going to start with the video right away. Want to turn yourself
into a 3d character like this? Want to turn

4:36:08 | yourself into a 3d right away. I’ll put it all
into computer and then I will be back with you.

4:36:33 | So what I’ve done, I’ve imported all the files,
the camera file, the computer screen file and

4:36:40 | the audio. I put it all in one place. Actually,
I can get rid of the screen file because I did

4:36:47 | not record anything on the screen. So what I
want to do now, I want to change the aspect ratio. Right now it’s 16 by 9. I want to make
it a format for a short. So I go to sequence,

4:36:56 | sequence settings and I bring this, the frame size
to 1080, the horizontal size to 1920. I’m aware

4:37:04 | that I’m cropping the video and then I go to the
beginning, select this, then I go to the effect

4:37:11 | controls. I bring this down, the scale, until
I see the edge and then I bring it a little bit

4:37:24 | to the left. So let’s see. Want to turn yourself
into a three… a little bit more, to the left,

4:37:31 | to the left. Want to turn yourself into a three…
So now I will, it’s a two minute 43 second video.

4:37:44 | I need to bring it under a minute. So I will fast
forward and then I will be back with you. Look

4:37:51 | at this, 48 seconds. So I have this whole video,
it’s in 48 seconds. So now I need to add images,

4:37:58 | the video files or the screen files on the places
where I talk about things. So if I say go to chat

4:38:04 | GPT, I should show go to chat GPT. So what I will
do, I’ll just walk, go through the video and then

4:38:12 | start adding things. And I will show you how to
do it. And after that, I will ask for it again.

4:38:22 | I make a mark animation, animated, animated
character. One, one to turn yourself into a

4:38:34 | 3d character, like two, this, or like this three,
this one, or something for once. I will have four

4:38:55 | different things. So people seen a four first
five seconds that I four different character types. Anything else? Here’s how to do it quick
and easy. Okay. Here’s the first one. Uh, jet GPT.

4:39:13 | Go to jet GPT. And for every mark, there’s a new
video. There’s a new, um, new, uh, screen area. So

4:39:25 | over here, open jet GPT. So I want to share over
here. So that’s over here, open jet GPT. So I want to share over here. So that’s over here. I’ll
fast forward again. So, so, so what I will do,

4:39:37 | I’ll go over here. Let’s say anything else.
Here’s how to do it quick and easy. Go to jet GPT,

4:39:46 | go to jet GPT. So I have this area over here
in the beginning. I copy this and over here,

4:39:55 | I locked this, these both go to chat.
So, or something else. Here’s how to do

4:40:03 | it quick and easy. Go to chat. So what I’ll
do here at the facts, I’ll zoom in a bit.

4:40:29 | Go to check. Go to chat. You can go back to the
video. I will fast forward from this point on.

4:40:56 | So I created a short, just added things, adjust
a few things in After Effects. I think it took me

4:41:02 | two hours, especially because I had to wait for
all those animations to be exported and now I

4:41:08 | want to add subtitles in the screen. In order to
do that, I select all the text over here, then I

4:41:15 | go to window, text, if I don’t see that, it’s over
here. Then I go to transcripts and I click on this

4:41:24 | blue buttons, transcribe, and it will transcribe
all the audio and make text of it based on what

4:41:31 | the audio says in the video. There you go. Now I
can go through this to see if it’s working. I want

4:41:37 | to get rid I should make a chat and double click.
Okay. When I’m finished, I click on CC over here,

4:42:01 | create captions, subtitle default and I want
to set up a little bit. So what I want to say,

4:42:07 | maximum length and character, I want it to be
30, minimum duration, I want it to be two and I

4:42:15 | want to have single lines if possible. I click on
create captions and what I’ll see, those captions

4:42:20 | will be created over here, really small. So what
I will do, I will double-click and then this pops

4:42:28 | up. Let me drag it over here so you can see the
result. First, I want to change the font to Avenir

4:42:37 | medium, and you should see the change at once.
I make it capitals, make it bigger. Okay. So

4:42:45 | the line height, now scroll down. I want it
to be in the center, but a little bit below

4:42:52 | the center. Then I want to have a background,
which is dark blue and fully opaque. So no 75,

4:43:04 | but 100. I want to make it a bit bigger and
create some corners. I want the text also to

4:43:12 | be a bit bigger. Okay. Now I want to click on the
plus, create a style and call this one shorts,

4:43:23 | subtitles. Okay. And now if I go to another
place in the video, I see it. So I can check it,

4:43:32 | go to the video. If something is not aligning, I
can zoom export the video, command M. It’s still

4:43:54 | on MP3, so let me bring that to H264, then I go
for YouTube 4K Ultra HD, then I go to video and

4:44:05 | I say match the source. Okay. I want to have
the range entire source. I click over here,

4:44:15 | then I go to the media encoder, then I click on
play and then the video will be exported. Well,

4:44:37 | this is going on. I go to YouTube. I’m already
there. And over here, I click on create upload

4:44:45 | video, select files. I go to the finals and then
I wait until the video is exported. It goes quite

4:44:56 | fast now. Awesome. Now I go to Google, I select
the file, the short, I click on open, and then it

4:45:10 | will be uploaded. So in this case, we don’t have
to create a thumbnail. When it comes to playlists,

4:45:17 | I like to create a playlist list called shorts.
And for the description, I want to keep it short.

4:45:26 | What I will do, I will go to chat GPT. I
also go to Adobe Premiere or even better,

4:45:51 | login. I go to tutorials, 701 finals. There you
go. It is So it is processing, but because it’s

4:46:06 | a short video, it’s already there. Export
or just copy it. Okay. Export it. TXT,

4:46:20 | open it. Okay. That’s it. Then I go to chat, this
is the transcription for a YouTube short. Copy,

4:47:02 | paste it. Copy this, paste it over
here. Cling AI and a few titles.

4:47:31 | Create your own 3d avatar. Yes. Okay. Next. It’s
not made for kids. Next, add a related video.

4:47:48 | This is so cool. I edit and here you go. I can
add subtitles. They’re already there. So let’s

4:47:59 | do auto sync. Let’s go to the file, copy, paste
it. Done. Next, next. Now to publish it. Publish!

4:48:27 | Awesome. So if I refresh the page, we have one
video and we have one short. I hope it will

4:48:37 | get a lot of views and when people watch this,
look at this. There is the link to the complete

4:48:46 | tutorial. What I like about this video is that
within two seconds, you see already the results.

4:49:01 | I love it. If I could do it over again, maybe I
should, I would start earlier with the animation.

4:49:17 | So let’s see how it will perform. I don’t have
to place it on my website, so that’s okay for

4:49:25 | now. And if I take a look at my analytics so far
or my channel, I got 71 subscribers, more than

4:49:34 | 500 views already, 40 hours of watch time. This is
also interesting because if you get 4,000 and you

4:49:41 | get a thousand subscribers, then you can monetize
your content and then you can also start to make money with advertising. I make around $4,000
with advertising per month with all my YouTube

4:49:52 | channels. It has been $12,000 and it was during
Corona. $12,000 in one month, only with affiliate,

4:50:00 | no not with affiliate but with ad revenue from
YouTube. That’s crazy. And then you also have the

4:50:06 | affiliate revenue from things that people can buy
through your tutorials. So congratulations with

4:50:13 | creating your first short, but we’re not there
yet. What you can do now, open a TikTok account,

4:50:18 | LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and
place your short on all those platforms. If

4:50:25 | you already have created it, why not share it as
much as possible so you can reach more people.

4:50:35 | This part of the tutorial, we’re going to talk
about email marketing. One of the most important things when it comes to affiliate marketing, the
money is in the list is a saying and it’s still

4:50:45 | true. I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars
with my email list. So what I want to show you is

4:50:51 | how to create an email list and how you can fill
it up with people and how you need to do that is by the following. You need to give something away
for free that is helping your visitor or your

4:51:01 | viewer. So in this tutorial, I shared with you
my free template. I shared my website template,

4:51:08 | I shared some stuff for Adobe Premiere, the
circle thing and what I’ve done in my own

4:51:16 | YouTube channel is I gave away images and I gave
away Elementor templates in exchange for an email

4:51:24 | address. So if I go to git.com, log in, if you
take a look over here at Elementor templates,

4:51:33 | more than 42,000 people, they follow my tutorials
and in the tutorials I said, hey, let’s make a

4:51:39 | website. I can help you with some templates. You
can go over here and then you can download them and 42,000 people did that and they were all on
my email list. Then I can send broadcast emails to

4:51:49 | them, to the whole list and then people watch my
tutorials. People can buy things because sometimes

4:51:54 | Elementor Pro had a certain discount. And then I
could send an email to all the people on automatic

4:52:01 | pilot with the message, Hey, there is discount
for Elementor Pro and all those people use my free Elementor template. So I knew there were
users of Elementor and a lot of people bought it.

4:52:12 | Sometimes my best day was $7,000 in sales in one
day by selling an affiliate marketing course. Now

4:52:19 | I’m giving it away for free. But that shows you
a bit about the power of an email marketing tool.

4:52:25 | So what I would do if I were you make sure that
you have an info at your domain name.com. If you

4:52:31 | want to learn how they go to YouTube, search for
hosting or tutorial 30. There it is three months

4:52:40 | ago. And there you can learn how to create an
email account. I have mine over here. Then I want to go to 30.com forward slash onniCent because
you can get a free version for that and you can

4:52:52 | use this with affiliate marketing with kit or
convert kit. They can do a little bit, they can

4:52:57 | make it a bit hard for you to use affiliate
links in your emails with OmniCent. That’s not a problem. So what I will do, I will start for
free and I want to sign up with email. My business

4:53:08 | email is info at ferdykoper.com. I need to
create a password. My business is non-e-commerce,

4:53:16 | I can always add it later. I agree with the terms
and I don’t want to sign up for this, so I click on sign up. Now I’ve got an email. So over here
at my inbox, complete your registration. Then I

4:53:30 | click on verify the email address. Now I need to
fill in some details. My first name, my last name,

4:53:38 | my business name is Ferdy Korper. My website
name is hpsferdykoper.com. I click on continue,

4:53:48 | my business address, and then I click on continue
to OmniSend. Awesome. It says connect your store.

4:53:57 | We don’t have to do that. What I want to do, I
want to go to forms. I want to view other types

4:54:05 | of forms and I want to create a simple form.
If you want to learn everything about OmniSend,

4:54:12 | go to ferdy.com, search for OmniSend.
I have multiple in-depth tutorials and

4:54:22 | you can watch one of those tutorials over
here, more than two hours long. Right now, I will just show you how to create a signup form
so people can fill in their details and send their

4:54:32 | email address to you in exchange for something
you give them. So I will go for a really simple

4:54:43 | Let’s go with this one, use this
template, then I go to input over here,

4:54:52 | I drag it here and there I want to go to add
label, turn that off, enter your first name,

4:54:59 | enter your Get the best prompts to turn yourself
into a 3d anime, 3d character using chat.

4:55:29 | Copy. I can change the font to real way. Get
the prompts. I can change the layout if I want

4:55:46 | to. Right now I want to get rid of step two, so I
click over here, delete. And if I go to success,

4:55:53 | I get rid of this and I can say to check the
prompts. Again, railway romps with chat GPT,

4:56:36 | update. Okay. I click over here, button, I want to
go to the button settings, primary button, change

4:56:44 | the color to the one from my website. So I go to
the customizer, I go to colors, the second color,

4:56:54 | copy it, paste it, hit enter and I want to change
it to this one. Okay, that sounds great or that

4:57:06 | looks great. Save and close. Now I want to change
it to this one. Okay. That sounds great or that looks great. Save and close. Now I need to open it
again. I want to enable the form. I want to stay

4:57:17 | on the free plan, continue. Okay. Then I click
over here again on the prompt or on the, sorry,

4:57:24 | on the email. Then I go to theme settings and I
change the form layout to a landing page. Update

4:57:33 | the live form, now I click on the form again, now
I have this external form. So if I paste this,

4:57:43 | people can fill in their details over here. So
what I will do, I will go to ferdykorper.com,

4:57:49 | to the backend, to redirection and then forward
slash prompts and then the landing page. So

4:58:01 | now I can do two things. I can send people in my
tutorials to ferdykoper.com forward slash prompts,

4:58:12 | then I can fill in the details or you can create
something over here, which will make people opt

4:58:19 | in to your email list. So let me show you how we
can do that. In order to do that, we need to go to plugins, add a plugin, we need to download
WooCommerce, even if you’re not selling things

4:58:30 | on the internet, install now, activate, then I go
to Omniscent, update the form, click over here or

4:58:43 | click over here on Omniscent, connect your store.
I want to use WooCommerce, download Omniscent

4:58:51 | plugin, then I click on download, plugins, add
now, activate, connect your store to Omniscent.

4:59:13 | So I need to connect my account by clicking here.
I approve. Okay. Now I can adjust the style. So

4:59:22 | I can use the colors of my website, save brand
assets. I’ll do this later. I’ll do this later

4:59:33 | and I’ll do this later. So now I want to go back.
Let me clean it up a bit. I want to go back to

4:59:42 | Omniscent, then I want to go to forms, I rename
this one to landing page update, update live form.

4:59:56 | Then I want to click over here and copy the form.
I give this a new name, opt-in free forms with

5:00:04 | Gatsby pop-up, website, update. Then I go to the
theme settings, form layout and I change it to a

5:00:15 | pop-up. Where should it appear? Well, I want it to
be in the center. So I go back, I go to behavior,

5:00:24 | when should this pop up appear? We go to display
and it says the rules. When somebody is two

5:00:34 | seconds on our website, then I want it to appear.
So I go back, I want it to appear one time per

5:00:43 | day. So if they click it away the next day, again,
they will see it. So update the live form. Okay.

5:00:49 | Since this is connected with our website, if we go
to the website, after two seconds, it appears. So

5:00:58 | people can enter their first name and their email
address, then they click on get the prompts, go

5:01:07 | to your inbox to check the prompts but we have to
fix this because at this moment, nothing happens.

5:01:14 | So now we need to go to automation. I click on
explore all workflows, let’s start with a simple

5:01:23 | one, welcome and when this will be triggered is
when it is submitted to marketing and I can filter

5:01:32 | a trigger, I get rid of all this and the filter
and the trigger is when they filled in a form and

5:01:44 | the form is the pop-up form. Save it. I want to
add another trigger when the form is the landing

5:01:54 | page form. Save it, update. So when people fill
in their form, both in the pop-up or the external

5:02:02 | page, then they all put on this automation and
I call this one, get the free prompts. So when

5:02:11 | people fill in that form, which I just did,
what should happen? Well, we can wait for more

5:02:17 | one minute. I prefer not to wait. No, an email
should be sent. And right now it’s called welcome

5:02:24 | to blah, blah, blah. I will change this. Here are
your prompts and I want to make it personal. So I

5:02:32 | click over here and I go for the first name,
insert. The preheader, these prompts can be

5:02:44 | used for chat GPT. The sender’s name is Ferdy
Korper. When people reply, I want them to reply

5:02:52 | to info at ferdykoper.com. Let me update this. Now
I can adjust the content over here by clicking on

5:02:59 | edit content. Yes, save it. And now we can change
this whole content thing. So I can get rid of

5:03:07 | everything. I want to do a quick add text. I can
also get rid of this and I say, Hey, and below,

5:03:32 | you can find the, and here’s the link. So what
I can do, I can duplicate this, here I can get

5:03:48 | rid of good luck and cheers. Here I can get rid
of the beginning and then over here in between,

5:03:54 | I want to I link to, it can be anything, it can be
a PDF. So if you would go to your website to media

5:04:28 | and you would upload something, anything. Let’s
say this one, you can copy the clip, copy the URL

5:04:35 | to the clipboard and you could paste it over here.
What I’ve done, I create a blog post, you can also create a PDF or something else. I create this
blog post and click over here. I copy the URL.

5:04:52 | So I redirect them to my website. That can sound
a little bit cheap, like okay, you could also send me to the website. Now I have to leave my email
address. So I would prefer to put it into a PDF,

5:05:02 | make it stand out. For the sake of the
tutorial, I will just do it like this and

5:05:09 | I click on finish editing. Okay. Start the
workflow, really important to start it. It was

5:05:20 | not started yet when I opted in, so I will do it
again. In incognito window ferdykorpers.com, wait

5:05:32 | for two seconds. I enter my name, George. My email
address ferdykorpershoek at gmail.com. I click on

5:05:41 | get the prompts. Okay. Now I will go to my Gmail
account and then over here I get, hey Ferdy below

5:05:49 | you can find the prompts I promised, use them in
chat dpt in order to turn yourself into a cool looking avatar. There I go, people can use this
and now if I go to Omnisent, I close this and I go

5:06:02 | to reports or audience, contacts. I see I have two
contacts already, George and Ferdy Korpershoek. In

5:06:09 | that way, I can grow my email list. And now if I
want to send something to everybody, I can go to campaigns and send an email to everybody that is
in my list or to a specific segment. There’s so

5:06:19 | much more to OmniSend or go to YouTube and search
for OmniSend tutorial Ferdy. And there you go.

5:06:39 | Migrate to OmniSend, start building your email
list. This is the best one, two months old.

5:06:44 | This is more for people that want to start with
WooCommerce. This is if you don’t use WooCommerce.

5:06:50 | So a lot of value. And now in your tutorials and
in your blog post, you can refer people to this

5:06:58 | thing you offer and then you can grow your email
list. And then when there is a certain deal for a special AI software thing, in my case, I can
send that, use my affiliate link and in a short

5:07:10 | amount of time, I can make a lot of money,
while at the same time helping other people.

5:07:15 | So let’s talk about another really interesting
subject, about making money with revenue from

5:07:22 | YouTube. Let’s talk about a really interesting
subject because besides affiliate revenue,

5:07:32 | you can also make money with YouTube itself with
ad revenue. When people watch your tutorials and

5:07:38 | you are able to use or place advertisements, you
can make money with that. I made over $400,000 in

5:07:47 | ad revenue from YouTube. So I’m not talking about
affiliate revenue. No, besides that, there’s also revenue through views. So the better the quality
of your videos, the longer people will watch,

5:07:57 | the more YouTube will place you in front of
other people to watch your videos, the more money you can make with advertising. So I have
turned on my phone. If I go, by the way, uh, if

5:08:09 | you go to the app store or if you use a different
device, you should search for YouTube studio and

5:08:18 | download that, then log in. And then you can see
all the statistics. So over here, you see, I have

5:08:24 | a thousand, a million, 240,000 subscribers. The
last four weeks I had around $3,000 in revenue.

5:08:33 | That has been a lot more, but I don’t know, things
happen. If you take a look at the last 365 days,

5:08:39 | it has been decreasing. If you go to the glory
days, that was COVID, I had around $500 per day

5:08:46 | sometimes, in my really the best days. So you
see 540 was the top, a little bit below that,

5:08:52 | $500 in one day with ad revenue. And my best
month was $12,000 with revenue from YouTube views,

5:08:59 | and these days, now it’s back to $3,000 in the
last four weeks. It is what it is. I focus on

5:09:05 | creating content. I’ve also, I’ve been moving in
the last year, so maybe I created less tutorials.

5:09:12 | I don’t know exactly what happened. Maybe there’s
more competition, maybe there’s more other things,

5:09:17 | I don’t know. But if you take a look at the
lifetime, the total, you see $411,000 in revenue.

5:09:25 | And I live in the Netherlands, so I pay taxes. So
let’s say that it’s $200,000 in real money that I

5:09:33 | can keep after taxes. In euros, that’s let’s say
€180,000. Quite cool for someone who uploads free

5:09:40 | videos to YouTube. But what I like, if I take a
look at the videos that I created, that’s why I

5:09:46 | was transparent in the beginning of this tutorial.
With this video, I will make a lot of money. Even

5:09:51 | though I give everything away for free, I could
sell it as a course, I could make so much more money with it, but I decided to give it away
for free, so I can make revenue with affiliate

5:10:00 | revenue from this video and from ad revenue. So
my best working video is also create an affiliate

5:10:07 | marketing website. So $20,000 but what I really
like, take a look at this one, contact form seven.

5:10:16 | This video took me one day to make. I know what I
remember is that I really did my best to give it,

5:10:23 | to bring it to the next level but it earned me
$8,000. The video is around 30 minutes. Right now,

5:10:32 | I should make a new one because it only has
40 views and it lost 48 hours, so it lost our

5:10:41 | only one view. So I think it’s seven, six years
old, so I should make a new one. But here you

5:10:48 | see all the videos that make me money. And yeah,
that’s what I, I hope to inspire you with that,

5:10:55 | that besides affiliate revenue, that you can
also make tutorials for things that do not have

5:11:02 | an affiliate program. So even if you’re promoting
videos that do not have affiliate programs in it,

5:11:08 | it will still help your channel grow. If I take
a look at my own channel, I go to the oldest video. Let me see all this. This one brought
me revenue from the, the, the end fault theme,

5:11:21 | as I talked about in the beginning. But after
look at this, maybe it was my seventh video.

5:11:27 | This was as 178 views, 100,000, 100,000, 100,000.
Look at this one, 341,000. This one went viral.

5:11:37 | This one blew up my YouTube channel and it’s a 56
minute video without any affiliate link, nothing.

5:11:47 | But what happened, people started subscribing
through this YouTube channel and they saw my other

5:11:53 | videos with affiliate links. So this video has no
affiliate links, but it helped my channel to grow,

5:11:58 | get more subscribers, get more views and in that
way, YouTube started showing other videos online,

5:12:04 | including affiliate links to viewers on YouTube
because they saw, hey, people are watching this for such a long time, this channel must be good.
So all the videos of Ferdy, we’ll share them with

5:12:13 | more people. So again, don’t focus on making
money, focus on helping people. And if there’s

5:12:20 | something that people can really benefit from
and it has no affiliate links, just go all in and

5:12:26 | share what you can share with them and then left
or right or up or down some way it will come back

5:12:33 | to you. People talk about karma, I don’t know.
What I believe in is what you reap is what you

5:12:41 | sow. If you sow love, you will reap love. If you
sow money, you reap money. I started giving away

5:12:48 | money in 2011. I made a really conscious choice
from now on I will give away so much more money

5:12:55 | than what is normal. So to the church, to charity,
but on birthdays I did not give 5 euros, I gave

5:13:02 | 20 euros. I wanted to go all in with giving even
to the point that sometimes I was not wise and I

5:13:08 | lost all my money or I had no money left and then
I borrowed it. So it’s not one big success story,

5:13:14 | but I believe now 15 years later, thanks to all
the sowing in money, in other people’s lives,

5:13:22 | now I reap so much more money. So I also do that
with this video that I give to you is for me

5:13:27 | sowing in other people’s life and I believe that
when I do that, I will also reap from it and that will make me really happy. There’s a really nice
quote from, I don’t know from who, but it says,

5:13:40 | success without fulfillment is ultimate failure.
Man, that struck me. There are rich people,

5:13:47 | there are famous people who commit suicide.
They’re successful in our eyes, but they are not

5:13:54 | fulfilled. And when you don’t have fulfillment,
success is worth not a lot. So I want to feel

5:14:00 | the fulfillment. Now do I get that fulfillment
knowing that I’m helping other people even while I’m asleep? I see it in the comments, I see it in
the emails, people are happy with what I’m doing.

5:14:09 | They think I’m a nice person, I think so too.
And that’s really, really rewarding. And the fun

5:14:14 | thing is when I’m on vacation on a beautiful area
and I’m not working, I still make money. So yes,

5:14:22 | even if there’s no affiliate program attached
to the video you create or the blog post, you’re

5:14:28 | still helping other people and that will not be
forgotten. Like God, maybe you think it’s the

5:14:35 | universe, I think it’s God. Let’s not discuss it.
Just take my word for it. No, just kidding. Hey,

5:14:43 | that’s it about the revenue. You can make a
revenue with videos. $400,000, I think that’s

5:14:49 | a lot of money. Even after taxes, it’s still a
lot of money. How? By offering value. It’s more

5:14:54 | money than I ever made with all the business
I did combined, I think. I’m not sure. Yes, I think so. So that’s why I’m so excited about
Philip Mark. Let’s talk about what is next. What

5:15:06 | should you do next? So dear people, we’ve created
so many things already. We created a website,

5:15:17 | we created a video, we created a short. If you put
everything into practice, you already should have some views. So what is next? After I created my
first video 10 years ago on my YouTube channel,

5:15:30 | I decided to create a second video and the third
one and the fourth one. And as I’ve said before, it was the ninth video or the seventh
video, my WooCommerce video that made

5:15:38 | my channel took off like crazy. I know in
the first six months I made around $6,000,

5:15:44 | but that video, I think I made it after six
or seven months that made my channel go viral,

5:15:49 | kind of like that was the moment that my channel
started growing. So instead of waiting now for

5:15:55 | views and sales, make a second video, make
a third video, keep on going. So in the

5:16:02 | time I was making my first tutorial last
week, I saw that there is a new video of,

5:16:09 | um, Google VO three. And if you take a look over
here, eight days ago, 80,000 views, five days ago,

5:16:20 | 41,000 views. So what I should do, I should take a
look at all these videos 10 days ago, 63. Look at,

5:16:28 | Oh, this is crazy. Four days ago. And I should
take a look at all these videos, 10 days ago, 63, look at, oh, this is crazy, four days ago.
And I should make videos about Google VO,

5:16:33 | because now it’s time to, to start making content
about what is relevant. I could make a tutorial

5:16:39 | about something that’s totally not relevant right
now. I should not do that because if I want to grow my channel, I need to be in the game. But
what YouTube wants is more views because the more

5:16:50 | people are on this platform, the more money they
make. So they are trying out every single video to

5:16:56 | a certain audience in order to see if people
are watching that. So when you make a video,

5:17:03 | Google will test it to see if it’s performing
well. That’s why I said in this whole course or

5:17:08 | in this whole tutorial that you should create high
quality videos. Well if you take a look at this,

5:17:15 | what people are searching for, man, you need to
take a look at what is relevant and I use YouTube

5:17:23 | for that. So what I do on my YouTube channel,
right now I’m on my YouTube channel of Ferdy.com,

5:17:29 | but if I would use my brand new YouTube channel
and I search only for the things I’m interested in, I start to subscribe to a lot of people that
do the same thing as I do. So I would subscribe

5:17:37 | to all my competitors, then the algorithm will
show me more videos about, in my case, AI and

5:17:45 | what I also see, let’s just do it. I switched
my account to Ferdy AI, 82 subscribers already.

5:17:53 | So, okay, let’s go back. Planet AI, subscribe.
So now if I go to the homepage, I can go to

5:18:28 | subscriptions and I see a list of all the people
that uploaded things recently. So if I see, okay,

5:18:35 | three days ago, 3000 views, okay, not that
interesting. Two days ago, 66,000 views, okay,

5:18:40 | this is interesting. It’s just a four minute video
and what I should do now, I should dive deep into

5:18:46 | video and I already heard that this is only for
the United States, so then it depends, then my

5:18:52 | thinking decides if I will be successful with this
or not because I’m like I’m not from the United States, so I will not try it or I start thinking,
hey what can I do to still use this so I can make

5:19:03 | a tutorial about it. So what I could use is, I use
a VPN server and using a VPN server, you can do as

5:19:08 | if you’re from the United States, then you can
create an account and then you can start playing around with this. So that’s what I will do. And
then it only has to be one video that goes viral,

5:19:19 | that will make your whole channel go like crazy.
And that’s when the exponential growth comes,

5:19:25 | maybe that’s when your first sale will come.
So now it’s a matter of creating more content,

5:19:32 | repeating the whole process. And if you really
go all in and after months and months and months, nothing is working, then I would go back to step
one, that is the decision step. Like hey, I said

5:19:45 | I will go for it and in some cases, things just
don’t work. Then you need to change your plan,

5:19:52 | start over again. And what I will do, go to
ferdy.com slash Jim Rohn and then watch this

5:20:01 | video and watch this video from Brian Tracy and
start reading Think and Grow Rich and what I found

5:20:06 | in my life and what I see in other people’s lives
is when you keep on improving yourself, that idea

5:20:14 | will come. That brilliant idea for a YouTube
channel, for a business and affiliate program,

5:20:19 | it will come. And sometimes it fails and then
you need to start over again until it goes. And

5:20:26 | there’s a really nice saying, maybe a bit cheesy,
but I believe in it 100%. Winners never quit,

5:20:32 | quitters never win. If you never quit, if you
keep on doing this, you keep on trying new things,

5:20:40 | you keep on improving yourself, becoming
better in making tutorials, becoming better in front of a camera, becoming better in
communication, you can read books about that,

5:20:48 | you can watch courses about that, you can watch
videos about it, improve yourself until the point then all of a sudden success will come your
way. Success is not something you should pursue,

5:21:00 | success is something you attract by becoming
an attractive person, how to by developing

5:21:06 | yourself. This is literally from the video from
Jim Rohn. Success is something you don’t pursue,

5:21:15 | but it’s something you attract. I’ve been
reading a lot of books. I’ve been watching

5:21:20 | that video from Jim Rohn, from Brian Tracy
over and over and over again. It motivates me,

5:21:25 | it starts to believe that I can make a difference
in this world and even though I can think English is not my main language, who am I? Other people
are better. I decided to go all in and now 10

5:21:35 | years later, exactly 10 years after I uploaded
this video, I’m super successful with YouTube. I

5:21:41 | can spend more time with my family. I can go
on vacation. I don’t have to take a look at price tags anywhere and I’m so thankful for that.
But it all started 10 years ago with a decision,

5:21:51 | I will go in. I will not stop. I did not stop and
now I consider myself to be really successful with

5:21:57 | this and that’s what I want to give you in this
course, the ability with the knowledge I have to

5:22:02 | give to you for free so you can start doing the
same thing. Winners never quit, quitters never

5:22:09 | win. Are you a winner or are you a quitter? Well,
I wish you sincerely the best of luck in this

5:22:15 | journey. I hope you can appreciate that I created
this tutorial for you all for free. If you do so,

5:22:21 | please like this video, feel free to subscribe
if you want to learn more about WordPress related topics or WooCommerce or WooCommerce is the same,
I mean e-commerce and affiliate marketing. Good

5:22:32 | luck with your journey. God bless you and may
He give you peace in everything and may you

5:22:38 | experience His peace in your life. I think that’s
the most important thing we can have in life.

5:22:43 | Peace of mind. I believe we can get it from God.
He wants to give it to us. Other people get it from other things. There is one piece, the Bible
says, that’s beyond understanding. Like, wow,

5:22:54 | how can we experience that? And the great thing is
that we can experience it also when we don’t have

5:23:00 | money, when we only don’t have success in this
world. And that’s what I wish you. The peace of

5:23:06 | God that suppresses all understanding. Well it has
been a privilege to make this video. I love making

5:23:12 | this video. I’m also looking forward to create a
shorter video the next time because this has been,

5:23:18 | I’ve been going crazy like weeks and yeah, if you
want to follow what I’m doing, you can follow me

5:23:24 | on YouTube, you can follow me on Instagram.
And then one more time, I wish you the best of luck. If you have any questions, let me know
me on YouTube, you can follow me on Instagram.

5:23:30 | And then one more time, I wish you the best of
luck. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and then I will do my best
to help you. God bless you and bye bye.
