Dude is setting himself up for the life couch/feel good about yourself/Tony Robbins lecture circuit. It's just some hot air to blow up the sucker's asses.
People I know that make big money on YT, don't do it for the ad revenue. They automate everything possible for either part of a solid backlink strategy and/or the secondary traffic that bleeds from links in the description or annotations.
One of my friends has an automated system that randomly downloads YT videos that have poor SEO.
It checks for bad titles (random numbers, single words, etc.)
It checks to see if the description is blank or short.
It checks the tags.
It checks the # of likes, dislikes, comments, etc.
It checks the titles of the related videos.
If the video fits the above set of variables that he sets, it downloads the video adds 4 to 6 transparent frames and re-uploads the video with properly SEO'd titles, descriptions, tags, etc. The link in the description area and annotations in the video point to his tracker. When the user is redirected, he drops retargeting cookies in their browser from Facebook, Twitter and Perfect Audience.
He doesn't care about any revenue or serp rank to any of his websites. All he cares about is getting them cookied so he can pretty much market whatever he wants based on their profile info that's been collected over the years from those social networks.
Like a post on Facebook related to your friend buying a new TV? You'll start seeing advertisements for deals on TVs that seem to follow you all over the internet.
He has about 20 employees from the Phillipines and several programmers from the Ukraine. He's a brother too.
