    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Excellent. I can see the improvement over the earlier videos (or perhaps I'm getting used to watching shorts). This seems better paced. You come in a split second later at the start and it really helped me get the message. My brain wasn't trying to play catchup throughout. I like the CTA at the...

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    You're probably right, it's just that I saw a bunch of shorts with thumbnails appear on my main screen a while back. I don't go to that section often so I don't know if this is a regular feature or not. I really must look into this when I have more time - I've found myself experimenting with AI...

    Excellent. To me, it looks like the thumbnail made the difference. You want to click to click to see what it's about.

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    That might be an idea. YouTube seems to respond to focus. That said, staying true to your channel aims and objectives is probably more important than trying to please an algorithm. I just released a Photoshop video that's doing extremely bad. It's less than 50% of my usual views. I'm hoping...

    Down the YouTube Rabbit Hole

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    Month 7 Update Overall views are up around 10% on the previous 28 days due to a series of videos that performed well at launch. Subscriber growth is also up around 10% on the previous period, which seems to be due to older content performing well. I’m pleased because I haven’t seen the usual...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I've been scripting this week's YouTube video in Word. I usually read the draft a couple of times before recording. This week I decided to use the "Read Aloud" feature in Word to hear what the script sounds like and spotted lots of mistakes I'd missed when reading it to myself. It's worth...

    I found the second one quite a bit easier to follow. I also like what you did with the captions, changing the size and colour. Nice work. What title are you going with for this? (I'm assuming it's not live yet).

    You got four watch stats from me but then I'm half deaf from playing the Banjo.

    Great content and nicely done. The pacing was a little too fast for me personally but then I'm just an old man. I hope you share the results. It will be interesting to see how these do.

    Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I run a reasonably sized website (65k visitors a month) teaching people how to produce better photography. I use Spyfu and SEMRush free accounts to research competitors and also research ideas for YouTube videos.

    Writing For Dollars: Building A Digital Asset For Sale

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Is this all organic traffic or does she use paid ads to drive traffic to the site as well? If you are comparing your organic traffic to someone who is also using paid traffic, it's probably not a good comparison. If you're unsure what traffic she might be paying for try analysing her domain with...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I don't like saying what I'm reading right now because I like to try out the ideas first. I've just finished 4 weeks of testing the ideas from "Routine Machine" by John Lamerton. There's nothing that I thought was new here, and I've read similar books in the past (but not followed through)...

    $100k/mo From YouTube

    EXECUTION 
    It's quite sad that people need to shout about what they are going to do, just to get themselves noticed. Then they don't follow through with any action. I was looking forward to seeing what someone new to YouTube could achieve. Just take action. Do something. It doesn't matter if you fail to...

    Building A Personal Brand on YouTube in 2022

    EXECUTION 
    That seems like a lot of work. I would be wary initially of putting in so much effort unless you are getting a lot of traction. If the content is evergreen then it may take off in the future. If not, you could be wasting time that would be better invested in producing additional videos...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I don't think it's as easy as asking "what's the best frequency" because there are a lot of other factors in play. That means you will probably get a different answer with different channels. That's probably why we see success with both frequent and infrequent posting. Using my own experience...

    Building A Personal Brand on YouTube in 2022

    EXECUTION 
    I've only just spotted this thread and it looks very promissing. I love the video you share by the way - the intro was like being in the cinema. I also like your development process for the videos and the idea of producing quality content. It seems to take me around 7-10 hours to produce a 5-10...

    I'm now picturing Warren Buffet in an explosion of emojis!!! If you struggle with scripting I have a couple of suggestions that might help: 1. Only script out bullet points of the key highlights. Rember, you only need a prompt in most cases to remember to say something. Your natural speaking...

    So they should respond well to a faster pace. Shorter videos of 3-5 minutes will probably perform well rather than 8-12 minutes. I would still avoid having distracting sounds, flashes etc. Instead, present short chunks of information to hold viewers' attention and use questions in the script to...

    I like that approach and it's the one that I'm trying to adopt. Now figure out the audience demographic you want to appeal to as it will inform how you put your videos together. A lot of people do fast-paced videos with cuts and sound effects to keep people interested. My experience is that...
