    Thanks Andy, I had a quick gander at those threads yesterday. Got a few ideas from them which I feel will be helpful.

    Hi Andy. Thanks for your input. The idea of community was coming from using it as value skew. Currently I have a few communities bubbling away as off shoots of my YT channel - they are useful for content ideas etc, but a lot of hard work. It's not something I'd really want to be involved in...

    In my field, there are many very useful resources for learning/improving. However, they are scatter piecemeal around the net. The only way you know if they are worthwhile is by actually finding them, and buying them. I feel it would be extremely useful to collected them all in to one place...

    Is getting great results unrealistic in a 30 day window?

    MARKETING 
    This is a truism for most things I find. That hivemind effect of hanging around people dispensing rubbish advice. Spend 10mins on r/newtubers and you see people with 100 subscribers all too willing to share the secret to their 'success'. I'm reminded of that Seth Godin quote - "people like us...

    Is getting great results unrealistic in a 30 day window?

    MARKETING 
    Looking at it from your client POV, they are hiring you to deliver results which are better than they are currently getting. That's the long and the short of it. Fail to deliver that expected result and you're kicked to the curb. A few ways to combat this spring to mind: 3 month initial...

    IIRC there is a site which can tell you - but I forget what it is :D FWIW I seem to recall that MJ has a background in coding, so it might be a barebones framework that is heavily customized beyond the normal

    Mastering YouTube & Traffic in a "Fastlane JOB"

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    There was a theory floating around about 6 months ago that it helped give YT context. TBH their machine learning IRT to understanding your content is so advanced, I don't really feel IMHO that it would make any difference. If it did make a marketable difference, you'd be seeing it everywhere...

    Mastering YouTube & Traffic in a "Fastlane JOB"

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    I agree with you regarding the title thoughts. Keeping them 50 char or less is a good way to learning being succinct and on point. The rest of your post I'm not 100% on point with. Subtitles do nothing to improve watch time. This was confirmed by the gent who does retention analysis for Mr...

    Mastering YouTube & Traffic in a "Fastlane JOB"

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Bit late to this post, and I've not read the full thread yet, so it may be covered in the replies somewhere. Whilst this IMHO is reasonably true and the analogy is nicely put, it's also important to consider, that just like a shop, your video is also competing against others. You may have the...

    0 to 100k YT subscriber journey (or $0 to $9000pm)

    EXECUTION SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I’m in the top 1% of YouTube creators. This is the story of how that happened. TL-DR background: Professional Photographer who trained at degree level in the 1990’s Ran a portrait studio most of the 2010’s and started to fall out of love with it. Long hours, and if I didn’t shoot, I didn’t...

    Yep. Anything that kills session time should be treated with caution. You can do it obviously, but don't do it every. single. video.

    Howzit howzit (Photographer with 100k YouTube subs says hello)

    INTRO 
    I'm about to sit down and write a post about the journey. As a very short and TL:DR type response to your specific question: Good CTR isn't a fixed number - it's different for everyone. What matters is your channel AVERAGE CTR. Is your latest video doing better or worse than your previous 10...
