This fool reuploaded my video and added affiliated links in the description 5 years ago. Today, the new Content Match Tool finally caught it, and I showed no mercy. Gone in 1 minute.
It's not exactly professional documentary content. Just goofy meme gaming shit with a little bit of offensive humor. If enough people sabe this could it affect my chances of getting a job if youtube doesn't work out for me?
It's almost impossible to pop off and become a popular channel if you're faceless. You could have godtier editing and audio and the algorithm can give u 50 views in a month because people click your video and decide it's not worth watching for 1 minute
I have had a graphic design channel for a long time and have 43,000 subs. Graphic design as a whole has been struggling to the point where I believe I have reached the end of the road with this career and the ability to teach others.
If I love anymore more than design it would be personal finance and investing, which I have a lot of experience in and I know has a nice RPM.
Has anyone switched a long standing channel with high subs to a totally different topic? If so, did you follow steps or just decided to switch over your video content to that subject? Did you announce anything about the switch or just let it happen?
I would imagine this would reduce my current subs with each video I came out that was not design as that is what people subbed for. But starting a fresh new channel sounds a bit daunting after spending so much effort growing this one. Not sure I want to do the one-two year slog getting monetized again especially after rules change in Jan.
when i search a game title under categorys for my video it doesnt pop up anything or when it does its completely the wrong game i talked to yt support for over a hour and they couldent help me, anyone else have to deal with something like this and how did u fix it?
first of all, I am not complaining, as I know I am very fortunate to make money at all on YouTube.
however, I checked my YouTube studio app yesterday and it said my estimated revenue payout would be around $5k. Then, two hours later it was $2.7k (for the same revenue period).
I sent screenshots to YouTube asking about what happened, but no resol yet.
does this happen often? I’ve never had it happen to me before.
So I’ll get right to it. I have 33k subs and I do nba analysis content where I break down players/ teams in depth.
I’ve tried everything to improve my content. Such as trying different thumbnails, pacing, script formats, titles, music, etc.. like I’ve tried everything I can think of.
My numbers just continue to drop no matter what I do. I’ve studied the niche relentlessly and I’m just lost at this point.
I have one sponsorship with PrizePicks ( I regret taking it , I know I know ) but I’m tempted to end it and just be done with this channel as the hours I put into it simply aren’t worth it unless I can figure out what’s going wrong..
CTR for the past 90 days is around 6% watch time usually is around 40%.
Average video is 10 minutes I would say with people staying till about 4 minutes and 4 seconds on my videos.
I really wanted to make this full time and a lot of people in here have motivated me with their post but I just can’t seem to figure out why my content isn’t working anymore.
I know the niche isn’t dead simply because countless of people that make the same videos as me are doing good and a lot of them even have lower sub counts than mine… I truly don’t have a massive ego so I know it’s something with ME. I am doing something wrong and I take ownership of that. I reallly want to make it bad and just need some help seriously.. any advice would help out a lot,, & if you want to really help me out & take a peak at my channel just dm me.
I want this more than anything, but I’m so close to breaking at this point.
I currently have a channel that brings in about $8-9k a month with about 18k subscribers reviewing bikes. Even though I don’t have THAT many subscribers, i still have a very livable income.
I wanted to see if I had just gotten lucky and this was a one off so I started a second channel in a completely different niche that I’m also passionate about…bbqing, smoking meats, cast iron cooks, and life updates within these videos.
My 2nd channel only has 4 videos, but the very first video already has 1.5k views within 3 weeks. I pretty much unboxed and assembled a Weber Kettle grill. I’ve had another vlog channel in the past that struggled to get even 50 views.
I’ve come to the conclusion that if I’m making videos with the goal to make money, it is near impossible/extremely difficult to gain traction by just doing vlogs/lifestyle videos.
Finding certain products that you are truly interested in and diving into that niche might be the easiest route to make money. If you’re interested in a product, there’s a high chance others are as well. So far with the 2nd channel, I’ve made almost $4 from Amazon affiliate but I’m hopeful eventually I can earn something substantial.
Not sure where I was going with this post, but I think I got a little lucky with my first channel in terms of finding the right niche but it taught me a lot of skills for the 2nd channel where I might have less luck lol. Good luck everyone!
FYI - YouTube is updating the recommendation system to further prioritize original Shorts and reduce the reach of channels primarily aggregating or re-uploading other creators’ clips without significant changes
YouTube’s goal is to connect viewers with videos they find genuinely valuable and ensure creators publishing original content have the absolute best chance to grow and succeed
Today my YouTube studio proudly told me I should promote a vid to get 3000-9000 more impressions.
My brother in Christ that video gets 4000 impressions an hour.
If they offered 100,000 views for $100 it might be worth it, but they dont.
It seems a bit unrealistic to me, right now i don’t exactly know what an engaged view is, but i heard its someone watching for more than 30s.
I feel like previously it was much less strict, i would think if someone clicked your video and watched 15-20s youtube wouldve probably counted that as a normal public view before the update.
So i personally don’t think the current “engaged views“ are 100% comparable to the previous public views before the update.
My videos seem to also be doing slightly worse when comparing only the engaged views number to previous public views videos. With around only 50% of the current public views being engaged views (could also just be a bad period on the channel to be fair).
What do you guys think ? Are the current “engaged views“ fully equivalent to the previous normal views ?
