<div class="bbWrapper">Hello all,<br />
<br />
I haven't done my usual monthly update for 2 reasons, the first one being quite disapointed with the results from the series of shorts (2 x per day during one month on YT, IG and TikTok - 62 shorts on each platform) and the second one being a long trip planned for a while from where I am just back.<br />
<br />
Anyway here is the summary of this month of shorts on each platform:<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 22px">YouTube:</span></b><br />

<br />
You can see peaks of views of course, the biggest being around 4000 in one day. The main observations are:<br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">After the peak, the number of views is coming back to normal or even less than it was before (which, I must say, may also be due to the seasonality)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">The best short tops at 4000 views, not really impressive after 2.5 years on YouTube</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Last but not least, I get an incredible amount of dislikes with shorts (more dislikes than likes overall) ... I struggle a bit to understand but that may come from 3 different reasons:</li>
</ul><div style="margin-left: 20px"><ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The shorts are in English while most of my videos are in French and that could piss off the subscribers</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">With this type of format (characters in an office), people are expecting another type of content (fun content) and are disapointed</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">These videos are really bad and I don't see it <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-horror.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-shortname=":eek:" /></li>
</ol></div><br />
<b><span style="font-size: 22px">Instagram:</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">+ 1 new subscriber</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Best short: 313 views</li>
</ul>The least I can say is there wasn't much success on Instagram and I won't make any more effort there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: 22px">TikTok:</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">+ 16 new subscribers</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Best short: 525 views</li>
</ul>A bit better than Instagram but still far under my expectations (or... hopes).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: 22px"><b>So ...what's next with Produplification (the channel/brand)?</b></span></i><br />
<br />
There are the few things I will continue/start to do:<br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Try to publish the shorts on RedNote & LinkedIn - there is not much effort required and still interesting to see</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Publish some files to sell on dedicated platform - the channel still provides me a tiny bit of income by itself and it's worth checking whether it is possible to increase it a bit by selling specific files... I don't have any hope to get it into something bigger anymore but still better than nothing</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">I will continue publishing videos from time to time but not pushing as much as before</li>
</ul><br />
<i><span style="font-size: 22px"><b>This will not be my first priority anymore!</b></span></i><br />
<br />
As said above, I will continue publishing a video on YouTube from time to time but not with as much effort as before as this won't be my first priority anymore for a few reasons:<br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mainly for personal but also professional reasons, I need to speed up with learning a language that is new to me (Dutch)</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm feeling more and more that I am missing some bigger opportunity with AI ... I'd like to take a step backwards and have a look at which opportunity I could try there (not in the content creation anymore but more the creation of a tool/product)</li>
</ul><br />
So that's it for now, I'll keep providing updates on this thread as previously, just less regularly (most likely).<br />
Thank you for reading if you arrived here and sorry for the disapointing outcome ... not all YouTube threads can be as successful as the one from James Jani <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> ... and that's just how it is. Cheers!</div>
