[0:00] So, when talking about social media monetization, the real beginners are those who say: "Just do blogs.""Just do Instagram.""I got a million views.""I got ten million." They're the ones who only talk like that, acting as if it immediately translates into money. But they probably already know that's not the case. Hello. I'm Nomad Yoon. If you've been thinking about starting a new social media platform or have been feeling frustrated wondering why things aren't working out for you, I'm confident you'll find some hints in today's video. If you search a little, there are already so many videos explaining conceptual things. But I

[0:32] have actually done these things myself. Since I've failed on countless platforms over several years, I have plenty of trial-and-error experience to share. Usually, I record my videos with a somewhat stiff tone. But from now on, I'm going to try to be more comfortable , like I'm talking to a close friend or acquaintance. For starters, I opened my Naver blog back in 2011 and have been active ever since. So, it's been 15 years now. I may have taken a month or two off here and there, but I've never stopped running a blog long-term. So, I think I can say I'm quite the veteran when it comes to blogging. "Oh, but

[1:07] don't you have a high score because you've accumulated so many posts?" you might wonder. I've already explained that in another video where I tell the story of how Naver abandoned me. So, I think watching that would be helpful. And honestly, I've tried many other things besides that. The YouTube channel you're watching right now was actually opened back in 2019. And this isn't even my first channel. It was back in 2019. All I had was a nursing license, a TOEIC score. And just one year and three months of experience as a university hospital nurse; when I decided to just jump out and try something, YouTube was the first thing

[1:42] I grabbed. Back then, I tried everything from travel vlogs to iPad decoration videos in various formats, but of course, it didn't work out. At that time, I didn't know why it wasn't working. I thought the world was just picking on me. Still, I told myself, " Consistency is the answer." I spent about a year making various channels and working hard, but lost my direction and eventually thought, "I should go back to work," so I did. After gaining more experience at a job, I opened a new Instagram account in 2023. That's when I created the nickname "Nomad Yoon ," started talking about blog marketing , and grew the account to about 20,000

[2:19] followers. It might sound like Instagram was easy, but I actually went through a lot of trial and error there, too. So today, I want to share three things I’ve learned the hard way through my years of experience on social media. These three points include examples from my own journey, so if you watch until the end, it will definitely be helpful. First off, views don't actually make as much money as you'd think. If you haven't really dived deep into social media yet, you might be surprised to hear that. But it’s the same for blogs, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads. Some people criticize Naver Blogs, saying the AdPost payouts are way too low. They

[2:54] say AdSense is much better. People often talk about this. But if you’ve tried AdSense, you’d know it’s not an easy path either. Sure, AdSense might pay a bit more, but relying solely on ad revenue makes it hard to maintain a channel and keep creating quality content. If you’ve seen my other content, you know I always emphasize this. You have to sell something to make real money. Of course , what and how to sell depends on each account, so it’s hard to cover all that today. But "selling" doesn't necessarily mean your own products or services. Just a few years ago, you had to find manufacturers or distributors,

[3:32] negotiate deals, and take a cut, but now everything can be done online, and there are many services that bridge that gap. In fact, in 2025, these platforms are directly creating opportunities for creators to earn that kind of income. You can now add shopping features to YouTube. Naver Blog isn't there yet, but they’ll likely launch an affiliate marketing program for Smart Store soon. This way, the need for middlemen taking a margin is being significantly reduced. So, there are more and more ways for

[4:07] creators to earn money directly. That’s why obsessing over view counts is truly a foolish move, and you’ll realize that once you try it yourself. And second, this is something I really felt deeply. An early viral hit can be poison. That’s why sustainability in your content is truly important. For example, when I first started Instagram in 2023, I researched everything I could. How to grow an account, viral content formulas, and the secret to hitting it big. Naturally, the first few things I worked hard on didn't get any reaction. Then, what finally got a response was the story of me quitting my job as a nurse. That post flew past

[4:46] a million views, and suddenly my follower count shot up. At the time, I thought, "This is it! This is how you do Instagram," and I was thrilled. But it ended up being two or three people, and they were mostly nurses. Nurses who wanted to quit their jobs. The important thing here is that some time had passed since I quit, and I was doing my own work, but these people had a need for tips on how to quit, and I felt I no longer had the ability to create that kind of content. So, it wasn't a good match. Eventually, I thought I should take a different direction, so I chose the topic of

[5:23] Naver blogs. Even though the response was good when I first created that content, a lot of followers left. Well, it couldn't be helped. I mean, I was suddenly talking about blogging after discussing quitting nursing, so there was a bit of a disconnect. So I had a bit of a shake-up like that, and that process was difficult for me. Yes. This is a mistake that not only I but many beginner creators make. So I hope you realize that if you only chase what's trending from the start, it could become much, much harder to maintain your channel in the long run. Let's say I run a vlog channel. But I'm just an

[6:01] ordinary person with nothing special. So, naturally, there wouldn't be much interest. Unless I do something really special. So I bring in a very, very pretty friend who lives nearby to do something together and put their face on the thumbnail. Then, let's say it gets 100,000 or a million views. In that case, those views and subscribers are actually obtained through this friend. If this happens, my channel's chances of survival will gradually disappear if this friend doesn't continue to appear. So, when I look at creators around me who survive for a long time and monetize well, they eventually calculate the purpose of

[6:36] each piece of content before making it. By dividing them into categories—such as content that attracts subscribers who are a good fit for me, content that increases credibility, and content that earns money by introducing specific products or services—you can operate your channel much more systematically. Of course, it would be difficult to do all this from the beginning. Why would I want to give myself a headache doing this? But I wanted to emphasize today that just focusing on going viral can be a very dangerous move, and it could end up wasting your time. And the third point is: You need to recognize the differences between each social media

[7:13] platform. Lately, looking at it, some think, "It's hard to get 1,000 views on a blog, but on YouTube, can't you easily get 100,000 views just by uploading?" So, blogging is dead. I’ve seen posts saying things like that. But that’s a very narrow view, because they think that views from social media equal profit, which is why they think that way. So, subscriber counts and views are never directly proportional to profit. And this really varies depending on the characteristics of each platform. It was the same when I uploaded my video on how to do Naver blogs in 2025. After all, the core feature of a blog is that it allows

[7:47] long-form content to be discovered through search. But search is something you do when a specific keyword pops into your head, and it’s usually to solve a problem. In contrast, with videos recommended by YouTube or Instagram, you often don't even realize there's a problem until you think, "Oh, maybe I should try that." Using more technical terms, you could call this low-involvement versus high-involvement , but it ultimately means you have to

[8:14] understand the nature of each platform. When AI started to advance rapidly, we thought ChatGPT would take over the world, but how is it going? In fact, specialized AIs for different fields keep emerging. There are various services for making videos or generating images, and we end up choosing the right service for the situation. Social media platforms are also continuing to become more segmented. So, in the future, you need to use these platforms smartly according to your purpose. That’s why you should think of it as needing to utilize multiple social media platforms appropriately for a single service, brand, or even creators like me. So, when talking about social media

[8:55] monetization, the biggest beginners are : "Just do blogs.""Just do Instagram."" I got 1 million views.""I got 10 million views." They’re the people who talk like this and suggest it will lead directly to money. But they probably already know that’s not the case. However, it’s also what sounds most tempting to beginners. So, that’s why it’s easy to get people to open their wallets. People don't

[9:16] watch videos from people like me. Yeah. It’s bitter, though. Yeah. So, today I’ve introduced three key points I’ve learned while running social media for several years. Since I’ve been doing this for a while, I’ve seen people just starting out, and among them, those who succeed. Watching them, I realized an ironic fact: although it varies by platform, you eventually have to overcome a certain barrier to get started. That’s why I tell many people to just start with a light heart. Just try writing a diary entry on your blog. Or try writing about what you ate. Try posting your number one. They always say to just film something around you and upload it

[9:52] to YouTube. But ultimately, to achieve meaningful results, you have to move beyond the hobby stage to the professional and business stages. When I kept operating things centered around myself, saying, "Oh, I'm just doing this as a hobby," I found it really hard to keep going. If it’s truly just a hobby and you don't mind not making any money, that’s fine, but in our hearts, we all kind of hope to get

[10:20] something back for the time we put in. So, most people start out lightly, try hard, hit a wall, and then go through a period of crying before moving on to the next stage. I was like that too, and truthfully, I still am. Since it's so popular these days, I know there are a lot of paid courses out there. I heard from my cousins that multi-million won Instagram courses are trending among moms. I was surprised to hear that, and while taking those might reduce some trial and error, I don't know—if you don't actually do it yourself, it just ends up being nothing more than listening to someone else's

[10:57] story. No matter how much objective information you stack in your head, you have to try it yourself, digest it as your own data, and then improve and apply it. This is something only you can do, so rather than hesitating at the starting line because you're afraid of falling while running, it's better to just start running. As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, I’ve summarized the advice I’d give to a friend or acquaintance if they were starting SNS. I’m not sure if anyone watched until the end, but I hope this was helpful. Yeah. Likes and subscriptions are great, but I always love comments. I’ll see you in the

[11:33] next video.
