Humix is what I will call a two-part platform created by Ezoic
0:03
The first part is a way for website owners to increase their revenue by using videos created by other publishers
0:10
The second part is a way for video creators to monetize their videos instantly
0:16
So real quick, what is humix? Humix.com is a video platform similar to YouTube, but much different
0:22
It's a way for content creators to earn more revenue from their hard work
0:27
The humix platform does an excellent job at matching. video creators to website owners. It's a win-win relationship for both parties. So here's
0:37
how Humix can work for website owners. For website owners, Humix is a way to earn extra revenue
0:42
with your website by displaying videos from the Humix network. These videos are created by other
0:48
publishers or yourself, and revenue is split 50-50 between you and the creator of the video
0:56
If you publish your own videos to the Humix platform and display those on your
0:59
your website, then you keep all the profits. Once Humix is enabled on your website, there will be a small window that displays on some
1:08
of your pages or all of your pages, depending on your settings
1:11
And this small window will display these videos from the Humix network
1:15
In random intervals, it'll display an ad much like YouTube does. With Ezoics Advanced AI and Machine Learning, the videos from the Humix network will be matched
1:25
with your website and article, depending on topic and niche relevancy. By doing this, this will increase your user experience and overall time on page
1:36
which will increase your revenue. That's how humics can benefit website owners. Now here is how
1:43
humics can benefit video creators. If you are a video creator, you will love humix. Humix is a way
1:50
for video creators to monetize their videos instantly. Have you ever tried to be a YouTube creator
1:56
post videos on their website, and get demoted? because it took so long for you to get monetized
2:03
I have. But with Humix, you can create a video, upload it to the platform
2:08
and start earning money the next day. You don't need 1,000 subscribers
2:12
You don't need 4,000 watch time. You just create, upload, post, and earn
2:18
The way this works is when you upload a video, it's added to the Humix network
2:22
When a website owner enables Humix, your video has a chance to be shown on their website
2:27
depending on its relevancy. relevancy. Any revenue generated from your video by being on their website is split 50-50
2:35
So you'll get half of the money earned for creating the video and the website owner gets 50
2:41
of the revenue for displaying the video. So it's a lot like YouTube, but it's fair. So this is how
2:48
you set up and start using humix. To start using humix, you need to go to hummix.com and click
2:53
start now. Currently, you can only use humix if you have an exoic account, so you'll have to sign up
2:59
with a website. I hope this changes in the future so that you can use this without owning your own website
3:04
And if you just want to be a video creator, you can get in and start posting videos
3:08
But for now, you have to have an Ezoic account. You have to have a website and get accepted
3:13
But thankfully, most people get accepted to Ezoic. There's really no limits or anything like that
3:18
There is a benefit of having this barrier to entry. It's not easy for just anybody to get into the platform
3:24
There is a bit of a process to start uploading videos to it
3:28
So this will reduce the amount of spam, which means if you do get into this program
3:33
there's a higher chance that your videos will be shown because there will be less spam on the network
3:38
Once you created an account there will be a tab that you can click that brings you to the Humix dashboard From there you can click around see what you need to do It easy to upload videos enable everything to start being displayed on people websites and get going
3:53
So I'll show you around the Hummix dashboard, how to navigate it, and what to expect on each tab
3:58
The first tab here, you will have the overview tab. And the overview page is the first thing you will see when you access the Humix dashboard
4:05
From here you can see how many videos you've uploaded, the last 30 days video plays and revenue, and other useful data
4:12
You can also click to upload a new video, upload batch videos, or import videos from your YouTube channel
4:19
The display tab shows videos that you've shown on your website from other publishers
4:23
and the shared tab shows videos created by you that have been displayed on your website
4:27
You can also click preview channel, which will take you to your channel on the humix.com official website
4:33
Next is the studio tab, where you can see all your videos uploaded to the Humix platform
4:38
You also have similar settings as the previous page like uploading videos, batch uploading, and importing from YouTube
4:44
You can also create playlists and make changes to existing video titles, descriptions, keywords, tags, categories, and other SEO related stuff
4:53
I've talked with Ezoic, and most important things to get your videos displayed are the title and description
4:59
Don't be too niche with these. A broader topic can be displayed across more sites than a very targeted topic, which means more plays and more revenue
5:07
Next is the site tab, which is the techie part of the platform. You can make this setup as easy or as complicated as you wish
5:14
Ezoic has a lot of auto features to make this part super simpler and painless for people who aren't as tech savvy
5:20
Ezoic also provides a lot of customization for people who like to dig deep and get exactly what they want
5:26
The choice is yours. Video locations is where you create placeholders for your video ads to be played
5:32
I didn't mess with anything here, but feel free to play with it and customize it how you like
5:37
Network Opt-ins is the important tab here. Make sure you turn on both Grow and Engage for maximum profit
5:44
Grow will share the videos that you uploaded to the platform, and Engage will display videos on your website from other publishers
5:51
The other tabs are for customizing the video locations or excluding some URLs from displaying video ads
5:57
And there's also a tab to customize the video player. I left all of these alone for now, but customize them to your liking
6:03
The Settings tab has some great quality of life options that I love. Here you can click a button to auto-generate ad placements
6:11
To quickly get started with Humix and start earning money, simply go to the site tab, network opt-ins, and enable Grow and Share
6:20
Next, go to the Settings, Enable, Assign Videos to AI Video Locations
6:25
That's it. you're good to go. The monetization tab allows you to change a few things
6:30
about the ads being displayed. I don't think any changes need to be done here
6:35
but you can test them if you want. You can increase or decrease ad length
6:38
make ads skippable, do aggressive playlist monetization, or just make life simple by keeping
6:45
the let humix optimized video ads box ticked on. You can ignore the network opt-ins tab
6:52
as you've already done that in the site tab. Not sure why it's included again
6:56
And in settings, you can simply turn ads off or on as you wish. Next, we have the channel tab, which is very similar to the studio tab, with a few changes
7:05
You can easily add or remove some or all videos you've uploaded from the humix platform
7:10
In the next tab, you can exclude videos from showing up on your site
7:15
Maybe there's a low-quality video you don't like, or a URL uploading much low-quality junk
7:21
You can block all of their videos if you want to The YouTube Settings tab just lets you add your YouTube channel so you can upload videos directly from there You can also replace embedded YouTube videos on your site with videos you uploaded There a customization tab but not a whole
7:37
lot you can do here. Just drag some boxes around from what I could see. The last three
7:41
tabs take you somewhere else to see information about your channel, read and manage
7:45
comments, and preview your channel. The final tab is just a resource tab. It includes a
7:51
few links and helpful resources that will help you set up Ezoic. You can check them out if you want to
7:55
So I asked a few questions from the Ezoic team and got a few expert tips that will improve
8:01
your results with Humix. So here's just a few of the things that they told me. Broad titles
8:06
and descriptions will generally do a lot better, perform a lot better with your videos because
8:11
if your video topics are too niche, then there's a less chance that those videos will be matched
8:17
with an article, which means less views and less revenue. So you want to do that
8:21
create and upload videos that are more broad. You also want to make your videos at least five minutes long
8:28
This will increase the watch time as well as there will be more ads placed in the video
8:35
which means more revenue. Obviously you want to make sure your videos are set to public, otherwise they won't be displayed
8:42
Another awesome tip that I received is if you go to the humix.com platform, you can see
8:47
which videos are performing well and you can create videos similar to those and upload them yourselves and chances are they will also do well i'm working on
8:58
this currently i'll see how that works out for me and i'll create a video about that comment down below
9:04
if you're interested to see how those videos perform another awesome tip is to set up your ad placement
9:09
right below the fold this increases the time that your video will be shown because if it's right
9:15
at the top of the article as they scroll down it'll minimize itself to the lower right left or
9:21
middle, whatever your settings are, and the video will continue to play as the user scrolls
9:26
through the page and reads the entire article. The video will be playing longer, more ads will be
9:31
showing up, more revenue. If you put the video too low at the bottom of the page, a lot of the
9:35
time the person scrolls to the bottom, then your ad will show, but they might be done reading
9:39
the article, click off, you won't earn as much money. And finally, get in early while the competition
9:45
is low. Currently, there's not a whole lot of people using the platform, meaning there's less
9:49
video is uploaded, meaning if you upload a video, there's a good chance that your video will be
9:53
shown basic supply and demand. So that's what Humix is, how it helps website owners, how it helps
9:59
video creators. Now, I've been using Humix for 30 days, almost 30 days, four or five days less
10:05
than 30 days. I've recorded my data and I want to share with you exactly what you can
10:10
expect to see by using the Humix platform. So I set up Humix on January 3rd on my birthday
10:15
and it is now January 27 as I'm documenting this, which is my dad's birthday, so almost 30 days
10:22
I took my 130 videos that I created on my food review channel
10:26
and I just uploaded them all to the Hummix platform. I didn't make any changes to them
10:31
I didn't change any titles or descriptions. I just batch uploaded all the videos
10:35
and turned on the Humix network and just saw what happened. The next day, I instantly started earning money
10:43
It started out with just a few cents, one or two pennies, not much, which quickly grew to about five to ten cents, and there was
10:51
even a day where I earned 42 cents. I know that this isn't a lot of revenue, but it is a lot more than what I was earning on YouTube
11:00
After a year of my time money paying for an editor creating 130 videos uploading them all with title descriptions all that YouTube paid me The funny thing is is there ads on that YouTube channel that gets played when people watch the videos
11:16
so I know that YouTube is earning money from my videos, but still they paid me zero
11:22
I upload all the same videos to the humics platform. The next day, I start making money
11:28
Not a whole lot of money, but at least I'm being rewarded for my work
11:32
Now if I actually try to make money with the human, platform by creating videos that are already doing well on the platform, similar videos
11:41
I bet I could actually earn a decent amount of money using this platform
11:46
So that's what I'm going to do. Like I said earlier in the video, I'm going to try making videos that are already popular
11:50
on Humix, the same topics, post them on the Humix, see what happens
11:55
So how does Humix compare to YouTube? Now obviously, YouTube has a lot of pros
12:01
It's been around for a long time. They've developed their algorithm. They have a great way for people to get into YouTube and create high quality content and have a chance to rank as long as you're creating videos around topics that aren't too competitive and your quality of content is better than what's already out there
12:22
You have a high chance of the algorithm pushing your content out and being shown
12:27
The problem is, is there's so much competition with YouTube and the requirements to get monetized on your channel is insane
12:34
You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch time to even have a chance at being monetized
12:42
And I've heard of people doing all of that, applying to get monetized
12:47
and for apparently no reason at all YouTube decides to reject them
12:51
But Hummix, on the other hand, is a brand new, very little competition
12:56
There's no requirements to get monetized. You can upload a video and the next day start earning money from it
13:02
And the best part is, is there's no requirements to start earning with Humix
13:06
You don't need a thousand watch hours. You don't need no watch time. As long as you have an Ezoic account, that's the only part is you need an Ezoic account
13:14
which is pretty easy to get. If you have that, you can upload videos and start earning
13:19
The main downside I can think of with humix, though, is that since it is new
13:23
the algorithm is not as advanced. So they don't have a good way of pushing out good content
13:29
the content that's going to do well is usually just based on the keywords it use
13:35
The problem with this is people that are spending a lot of time with their videos doing a lot of work
13:40
to make their videos are going to feel like they're not being rewarded enough because their
13:45
videos aren't being pushed out based on that. It's being pushed out based on the keywords
13:52
So there's going to be people creating a lot of mediocre content on the platform and using the right
13:57
keywords and this content is going to rank above well produced videos just because they
14:04
didn't use the right keywords. So for now, my strategy is going to be using both platforms. I'll be
14:09
using YouTube to slowly grow my audience, eventually make money on YouTube, but the main goal
14:15
with YouTube would just be to grow my audience. Whereas with Humix, I'm going to be uploading the
14:21
same videos on there for the purpose of that instant gratification of posting the video and
14:27
start earning money right away. So whether you are a video producer or a website publisher
14:31
the Humix platform is an amazing contribution by Ezoic. Your websites can earn extra income
14:38
and your videos can be monetized instantly. Humix does an excellent job at being the middleman
14:44
and pairing videos with website owners and distributing the revenue generated between both of them equally
