    YouTube Chat (and list of progress threads)

    GOLD! CHAT 
    Had my best year ever by far. Diversified by posting short form to TikTok and the rpms on TikTok blow YouTube out of the water. I use Adobe premiere. It does everything I need and more. It would be really hard to convince me to switch to anything else as I've put the years in learning premiere...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    This shits taking forever thanks to w2 slavery. Currently working with a graphics designer to nail the packaging. Growth is heavily reliant on social media so trendy packaging is a must. Looking to launch in the next few weeks. Still doing well with short form video, so hopefully I can piggy...

    8 Figure Opportunity But Not Sure What to do

    QUESTION 
    I would focus on systemizing and perfecting the family business. The scale and speed of all the businesses you see online is really flashy and glamorous, but you don't see the 95% that get nowhere. The bar is so much lower for blue collar businesses. Most of them have zero marketing...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Right now it's quite under-saturated in just about every category with the exception of women's clothing and health/beauty/wellness. Like I said for physical products, it's mostly unbranded Chinese junk.

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Quick update if anyone is interested in tiktok shop. I made one affiliate video and used basic copywriting and psychology and got flagged with a violation right away. According to their terms you basically can't make any claims that aren't backed by by studies and scientific proof and you can't...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Quick update. Purchased a couple molds and have been doing some experimenting. Also have a few products coming in to sell as an affiliate to get some reps in. The biggest bottleneck at the moment is not having time to execute. Despite being on this forum since 2011, I unfortunately still hold a...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Views are down massively since my last screenshots. Note to new creators, the algorithm is a very real thing. Sometimes you just exhaust your audience pool, too. On another note, I purchased the molds for the first round of production. For around 2k I will be able to test and validate the...

    Video hosting platforms...

    PUBLISHING 
    For longform content, I only post to YouTube. They have such a massive user base at this point, a competitor would have to pay out alot to creators to make it worth diversifying.

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Yikes. So far they have been spoon feeding me every one of their monetization programs. I just started the account a couple months ago, but I already had validated my best videos from YouTube shorts and reposted them. So I think they definitely prioritize power users per se.

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Screw it, guess I'll be the guinea pig and turn this into a progress thread. Currently having my best month ever as far as content goes. Not sure how long I can maintain this sort of traction. My content is all 100% original and filmed by myself. No stock or stolen footage. One of the biggest...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    The reference to FBA was comparing the scale of opportunity, not the literal functionality of the platforms.

    Youtuber for 3 years until I realized that, maybe AM I going the slow way?

    INTRO 
    I've been creating content for 10+ years. Adsense sucks besides a few super high CPM niches. Leverage your skills to gain attention and sell something. That's how you break out of adsense jail. If your current niche has nothing to sell, start over. If you have the skills to write good...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Politics aside, I'd like to have a discussion about tiktok shop. Has anyone sold or purchased products using this marketplace? If feels like Amazon FBA in 2010. Tons of generic, junk unbranded items. It's a perfect setup to launch a product with strong branding and sweep the table. Supplement...

    Critique my latest video ad

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Phenomenal product idea. Once you nail the marketing this will kill it. Attention spans are super short these days. Building some emotion in the first few seconds is critical. I don't love any of the static shots and stock images. Rule of thumb is to always have the camera in slightly motion...

    Anxiety Relief Idea: Boo or Yay?

    IDEA FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    If you made a non-prescription fast acting anxiety relief that actually worked, you would be a multi-millionaire without a shadow of doubt.

    So I tried out YouTube Promotions (ads) for my Youtube Channel

    EXECUTION 
    Props for hitting the threshhold. You may have stagnated your organic growth with the ads, though. Once you get a crap audience and your ctr and avd are low, YouTube decides your channel is low value and it's hard to dig yourself out of the rut. This is why moving forward, I create a separate...

    To any YouTubers in here, how do you gain new knowledge on the game of YT

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    This. It's a way better idea to use YouTube to market a product, rather than strive for AdSense revenue. AdSense revenue is miniscule unless you're in the finance/business niche where you can pretend to be rich then get rich from high cpm's. Over the years, I've accumulated 100m+ views. There...

    To any YouTubers in here, how do you gain new knowledge on the game of YT

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    The "algorithm" is rewarding those who understand viewer psychology. Your video gets pushed if it's properly presented, and is also interesting. Hollywood has been doing it since long before the social media "algorithms" existed. It's 2025. The bar is set higher than ever. You need to be well...
