    Executing order fulfilment for a book.

    BOOKS EXECUTION 
    That's odd. I use a personal bank account for my Amazon POD books. Have you considered getting a Wise account? You may still need a parent's help to meet the criteria but it's multi-currency, available in a lot of countries and free. I use it to receive foreign currency payments from Amazon.

    Executing order fulfilment for a book.

    BOOKS EXECUTION 
    I just searched the Shopify App Store and there are quite a few POD apps with reasonable ratings. https://apps.shopify.com/categories/finding-products-product-sourcing-print-on-demand-pod?surface_detail=finding-products&surface_type=category&surface_version=redesign WHy can't you use one of these?

    I would suggest treating the book with caution. I've read the book multiple times and there are some good ideas. I personally found more of a sales funnel for his more expensive courses and conferences. I tried to implement ideas over 6 months and didn't achieve much other than complaints from...

    I couldn't agree more with this. I don't really like the editing but it forces me to do better prep. The editing is then much faster. You probably have a good audience on YouTube just waiting for the next video.

    Have you thought about preparing a few set examples like presentations to give in the longer videos but designing them in such a way that they are easy to cut out as shorter videos? Have you looked through the retention graph in the longer video to see if there are any areas where people are...

    Great progress - I know you say "Trolling the Trolls" but to me it looks like banter between fans and is a good thing. I like your approach of tying in the videos to encourage binge-watching. I hope this succeeds. If you are going to be filming at night in low light, make a feature out of it...

    Google Just Killed My Website

    Stop picking a fight you can't win with an 800lb gorilla and calm down. Go hire a Google expert who has experience in helping people sort out similar problems in the past. It will be cheaper, quicker and easier.

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I think short concise videos are the best. I try to keep my videos between 5 and 8 minutes but I sometimes stretch to 12 minutes if I'm doing a software review. People don't have time for rambling intros when they are trying to find out the answer to a problem. What I really liked about this...

    I just watched the 5 min video - it's pure gold. You answered so many of the questions I struggled with when I was trying Google Ads a few months back. It would have saved me hours of research. I'm going to try again with Google Ads when I can schedule some time in. That's not an excuse, I...

    Hi @Timmy C I sent you a DM with some specific ideas. It's great to see you creating a channel trailer and it's a good idea to promote your free offer too. When it comes to getting people to sign up for your free offer, use the tools in your YouTube channel dashboard to add the link to the...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Each person is likely to have a different level and it probably changes between viewer groups. I can imagine younger audiences have shorter attention spans as do people looking for entertainment. With older audiences or people looking for how to do something it's likely to be higher. My 30...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I think both thumbnails look good but your title is more of a description. Compare your current title with an alternative of "Is This A Challenge Too Far For Max Holloway?". I don't know if this would perform any better but it will probably create more interest and curiosity in people skimming...

    The video production and quality of the video are good. I'm interested in your approach to titles. Is this similar to your previous video that performed well? It's not really grabbing my attention and making me want to click. Have you considered trying to create titles that generate more...

    Growing an MMA news channel on YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That's a popular strategy - do more of what works. It helps YouTube push your channel more. The downside is you can become pigeon-holed in a niche you don't like making videos in a style you don't want. My channel suffers from low numbers because it covers a broad niche and I switch subjects a...

    That would suggest your usual audience didn't click on the video when they were notified at launch. YouTube won't begin showing your video to lots of new people unless it determines your existing audience likes it first.

    It's great to see the sudden increase in impressions is causing a fall in the CTR and that it seems to be a sustained increase. It does appear that something has triggered the increase and you may never find out what it is (unless you changed your thumbnail and/or title at that point)...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    This is even better news because it means that YouTube understands your audience and recommends the video to them. It's also a good idea to check how your CTR has changed over the life of the video. If you see that improving as well then it's a good sign that YouTube is putting the video in...

    YouTube channel about Google Sheets / Apps - Script - Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Great progress. Have you checked where the views are coming from in the past 28 days? My guess having experienced similar upturns is that Google has picked up the vide and is now showing it in response to a search term. Unless you are looking at the recent split of traffic it’s easy to miss this.

    I think it's a great idea. It reminds me of the sorts of ideas I read in "Evergreen Assets" by John Lamerton. I think I'm going to dig out my copy and re-read it. It's one of the most actionable books I've ever read. It only takes a minute to record a personal subscriber message and I can...
