how to make money on youtube as a teenager

play albertson B&B Alonso this guy is burning it when it comes to social media I have not found a person yet that is able to gain the attention has the momentum that this guy is doing he's captured over six thousand subscribers on YouTube right now taking nearly 13,000 drivers on Instagram at 119 years old and he's achieving levels of success at 19 how the hell do you do it why do people like I think it's one of those things that like you know in this day and age just like you said earlier on one of my videos you said you know we're girl and a bunch of her you know we're building up cupcakes here in this day and age the teenagers don't know how to work they don't know how to communicate because now we have internet where when they had feelings now they just put them out on the Internet and that's it people just don't know how to talk to people they don't know how to communicate and and that's a big thing in this business is communicating with clients communicating with people so I you know I talk a lot about how to communicate with people because I was shy I literally was and and that's gonna take a big hunk out of your business when you can't talk to your clients and sales is the heart and soul of the company now is that what you're finding yeah and so when you're going on social media it's almost like you're a salesperson isn't it yeah it's almost like you know what you're doing is people should watch you and learn how to communicate because really that's what is going to build your business it's what's going to establish your relationships with suppliers yes and you find that that is really the key to go after you girl and I mean it like you know just in the past year when I would go up to get mulch from you know the the supplier and talking to him well he knows people he needs work done well now you have another connection give him some business cards you guys chat for a bit oh and then somebody comes up in their truck well go talk to them and and that's just that's taken me so far you know can with other lawncare guys in my community I mean I mean literally I'll get a call hey you want to do this heck yeah or oh man I don't think I don't work in that area but I know somebody who does I kind of refer them to you and that's perfect so I help other people out they can help other people so just connecting with people communicating is huge and to get back to your question I just think a lot of people see like like seeing that because you know there's so much negativity towards my generation and teenagers now that they don't know how to work they don't know how to communicate and I think that with me helping people and getting it out there I think that that's a huge huge thing for people to see really what you're saying is that your ability to talk to people is the number one key to your success on YouTube on Instagram and in your business because you guys may not be on youtuber care about growing a YouTube audience or care about what's happening on Facebook yeah but what Blake is saying you can see him living those results because of the success he's had on all of these other multiple platforms it's actually transferring over to how you operate your business yeah well let's say you have a big beautiful yard that you're quoting and you don't know how to pitch people or you don't know how to communicate you have terrible communication but you do phenomenal work well if you never even get yourself in the door you can't communicate with your clients that hey okay it's about rapport yeah the people there will not talk or negotiate till they know who you are and so when you bring that forward back here when you're talking about lawn care landscaping and doing a bid if you can get the customer to start talking about things outside of the job yeah at that point you build up what is called rapport mm-hm and your job is sold they've already in their mind when they start talking about their latest hockey tournament or where they went for supper or whatever you've already got the job you may not realize it because they haven't said I'm signing on the dotted line but that is the power of communication yep well most jobs do now is either I get a referral from from somebody that's used us or a frame you know it's the neighbor they tell their friend or they find it through social media or her website okay well they see your work may know what you're doing you go up to show them a quote and we end up talking for five ten minutes about you know their vacation they were on last week and and it you're not even talking about business but you're still selling yourself and you don't even know it just by communicating with people they they were off with Florida and I tell this to people all the time you know whoa Oh where'd you go the floor I was there six months ago you know what you do what did you go to you talk for five ten minutes they already built up trust with you because you're not just sticking to the job and you know they're not going to Walmart to buy milk what they're doing is they're putting their trust their property in your hands and they want somebody that they feel comfortable on their grounds because they're inviting you into their home it's a it's a key difference you know if you get some of these people that are just shopping for the low price don't worry about yeah you don't want to be the low price guy is that what we're doing you always want to be the middle price guy that has the trust built up because that's when they they feel that trust with you they're also gonna give you referrals I'm going exactly I mean you're around their kids you're around their home you you are on their property all way around 360 going in and out of their gates they trust you that hey my gates gonna be closed my dog can go outside and not go roaming around the streets that I mean that's just all building up trust my communicating with them trust has also built unfortunately by how you appear your your initial appearance so even I don't care what you look like give a level of trust where you feel clean-cut very professional you don't have to be in a suit and tie professional but you have to appear like you doing what you're doing and if you initially come up with a bad impression then you have a little higher hurdle that you got in and over yeah exactly and so and I mean they say in the first 10 seconds they've already made up in their behind what wasn't about summer are you so you know that's why you know I always try to keep it clean of parents keep the equipment is cleaned you can just spray them down you know they don't have to look perfect but you know keep them up keep them clean spray paint a little bit of it and you know you have videos on that I've watched you and I saw much I call them my 40-foot paint job that was their 40 feet away they looked okay but that's all it's about yeah exactly you know and then realistically another key component that I find is allowing the customer to do the talking mm-hmm because once you can shut up once you open up the door and they feel good to start sharing with you well guess what then you're going to have even a higher close rate and that's really where your close rates come in yep it's about rapport first impressions communicating and that's also what's led us round-robin back to where we're at right now your success on periscope on YouTube and on Instagram has been because of your ability to communicate and that's translated into how you run your company yep thank you for sharing that yep Blake
