    Hot take: Only posting "banger" YouTube vids is a strategy designed for failure.

    Open YouTube in an incognito window. Search your latest video, click it. Go to the suggested videos and click a thumbnail that catches your eye. Repeat this for one hour and write down all the ideas you get. Thank me later.

    Don’t let YouTube place your ads. Instead, put them at: - 1min - 3mins - 5mins - 7mins - so on, so forth Adjust by moving to the end of scenes. Then, watch your revenue go 📈

    You can’t do YouTube and: - edit - create - design - consult - analyze - manage - strategize All at the same time. Pick one, outsource the rest.

    New video idea: “I Survived YouTube For 100,000 Hours”
  • user avatar
    The perfect YouTube video: - title with 6 words max - thumb with 2-3 elements - intro less than 10 seconds - mix of fast & slow pacing - climax with huge payoff - quick call to action It’s simple, but effective 📈

    If you pay an editor for YouTube videos, consider this: Editing is the bare minimum to be successful on YouTube. Your strategy to get more clicks and watch time is the real difference maker. So, if you don’t know how to do this, what value does your editor truly provide?

    Should you post Shorts to your main channel? No. Your subscribers didn't subscribe for Shorts. Don't give them a reason to unsubscribe by spamming them with lower effort content. If you do post Shorts, make another channel.
