Overview

The video discusses how to create and monetize football videos on YouTube while avoiding copyright issues. It highlights the potential for earning ad revenue in this niche, even without showing your face or recording original footage. The speaker shares three key strategies based on their experience and the practices of other successful football channels.

1. Create Unique Video Ideas

• Problem: Posting straight match highlights or specific goals is highly likely to result in copyright strikes because it directly competes with the original copyright holder. These videos are also generic and less likely to attract views.
• Solution:
  • Add a Specific Angle/Story: Focus on controversies, specific players, or unique aspects of a game instead of just the full match highlights. This helps the video stand out and reduces copyright risk.
    • Example: Instead of posting general highlights, focus on "the controversy in the game" or "a specific player in the game."
  • Vary Footage and Add Effort: Create compilations of different matches, moments, or add storytelling/educational value.
    • Examples: "Best comebacks from a team," "Best saves from a player," or "All matches from a team in a tournament."
  • Top-Tier Ideas: Comparisons of players, ranking of goals, or compilations with a specific theme (e.g., humor). These use shorter clips, multiple sources, and add significant original value.
• Key Argument: Unique video ideas are crucial for both avoiding copyright issues and attracting viewers.

2. Add Visual Value

• Method: Enhance videos with text overlays to provide context, commentary, and entertainment.
• Techniques:
  • Game Information: Add the minute in the game, score line, goal scorer, offsides, etc.
  • Original Commentary: Add your own thoughts and reactions to make the video more unique and engaging.
  • Creative Elements: Incorporate creative visual elements to enhance the viewing experience.
    • Example: The "embarrassment level" scale used by Score 90.
• Key Argument: Adding visual value through text and creative elements makes the video more transformative and engaging, increasing its appeal and potentially reducing copyright concerns.

3. Transform the Footage

• Problem: The YouTube Content ID system can automatically detect and flag copyrighted footage.
• Solutions:
  • Use Short Clips: Keep clips between 3-5 seconds long. Use shorter clips (around 3 seconds) for close-up shots, as they are more easily detected.
  • Unique Clip Order: Change the order of clips compared to the original footage.
    • Example: Instead of showing a goal followed immediately by a player celebration, insert replays of the goal in between.
  • Crop the Video: Cropping reduces the amount of original footage displayed, effectively transforming it visually.
• Key Argument: Transforming the footage through short clips, unique clip order, and cropping is essential to avoid detection by YouTube's Content ID system.
