Thanks man for giving us your time and answer our questions . Appreciate it
No problem!
Thank you so much for this AMA! Too much valuable info, and you speak from a friendly tone. Everybody listens!
Few questions from me...
1. Can a YT channel do a community post with a link to my channel? This seems to be the most effective as it is within YT.
2. Once you got monetized, is there a chance that YT will rank/suggest your videos slightly better because, of course, YT can make money off of your video?
3. Does buying views increases your video's chance to get suggested?
4. What does social signals, https://prnt.sc/pn1v15, and web 2.0 backlinks can do to a video with the current algo?
1. Yes they can post a link to your channel within their community tab.
2. From what I've tested, yes. essentially youtube is a business based off of ads. I tested a video that I uploaded back in October. Uploaded it wiht monetization enabled off. 48 hours later, I enabled monetization, slapped 10 ads on it, and it went viral. In my opinion, does youtube favor videos that have ads vs those that dont? I think so, but it's not for certain. From a business standpoint, it makes sense.
You said you need at least around a 13-15% CTR to get viral videos?
1. lets say my video only had like 100 views but my CTR was around 50-80% and my retention was around 80%, would my video then get suggested bringing alot more views?
Nothing is going to guarantee that your video will be suggested to other videos. By improving CTR and watch time retention, you have a BETTER chance of being suggested to other videos.
Last question , I find that niche where a narrator talks over or translate the motivational speech of a famous person . For exemple someone download the video of a famous german actor who makes a motivational speech , and talks over it by translating the video in english . Can this type of content be monetized ?
Oooo not too much experience in this area. I cant answer because I dont have any experience or facts to back up whatever my opinion is. Sorry!
Sorry if I answer before the expert
According to my experience, 100 views are not enough and you will always have a very high CTR especially if they come from subscribers, I have only one video doing well, nothing viral, hitting consistently 200-300 views/day and the CTR is around 15-16%. I suppose that is the threshold to start seeing some consistent views on a daily basis. The video ranks #1 for my first choice keyword and it is about 10 minutes.
Super dope to be hearing your results! I have videos like that too (i.e. video brings in $1.20 per day, but if I have 40 videos bringing me in $1 a day, that adds up and so on!)
I don’t think that this is the perfect thread to ask my question, but I posted a thread and got no answers xD
the question:
I have adsense account that connected to a youtube channel and I want to connect it to blogspot blog, I linked it successfully, but I have been waiting 4 days and no ads are showing ...
Made a research and found out that I need to get a top level domain to my blog and link it to adsense to change my adsense from hosted to adsense for content.
But I also found out that there’s some kind of code that I have to add my adsense ID to it and put it on my blog....
Will this ban my adsense account??
Based off your scenario, i dont see any reason as to why your adsense account would be banned. I would consult with google adsense themselves to be sure.
Any1 can tell me where can I buy legit youtube subscriber for monetized my channel,
any advice really appreciate..
Check the BHW market place!
What would you use instead of your face or stock footage?
I own a podcast where I sometimes read naturally my scripts and would rather not refilm them less professionally for the sake of getting them to YouTube.
Do you think options such as Powtoon (suggest others if possible) can be well received in terms of engagement and watch time?
Which stock video galleries do you personally use? Paid, but hopefully also free.
Thanks for the help in advance
Hey there! So instead of your face or stock footage, you can use screen recordings, images, copyright materal even. For my videos, I switch it up with video with audio, video without audio, images, and screen recordings. I dont use my face at all. I hope this helps let me know!
Animations in my opinion are quite experience, but perhaps thats something you should test out!
Just saw this thread. awesome. and bro I'm waiting for your reply
Replied!
Can older videos also get featured and make some high amounts of views?
For example is it only possible to get viral and featured with newer videos (<1 week) or could it be also possible that a video which is 6 month/1 year + get's also featured?
Sure can! I've had videos go viral even after 3 months of being posted. Greater than 3 months is kind of cutting it. The earliest viral video ive had was within 48 hours. The latest was 3 months.
1. How can a new page without subscriber can get views? All vids has custom thumbnails and optimized tags
2. What aoftware do you use in creating thumbnail and video editing?
1. A new youtube channel without subscribers can:
- post their video on reddit
- post their video on facebook groups
-post their video on IG
-post their video on other channels' community boards
- post their video to their email list
2. I use photoshop and final cut pro x
- Have you ever experienced or heard use of multiple accounts for the benefits of just one channel? Something like liking video/comments with multiaccounts..
- For a new channel, there would be some restrictions if it hides subscribers number? for a channel that has less than 100 subs, it is better to hide subs or show them ( and risk that people don't subscribe to a brand new/low subs channel)?
Well here's my two cents:
ANYONE can buy likes and comments. These are what I like to call "secondary" metrics, which means, AGAIN, my opinion, are weighted A LOT less by YouTube. If you could imagine, if what determined a video to go viral was just likes and comments, then everyone would just buy likes and comments- what people CANT buy though, are click through rate and watch time. Those two metrics are PRIMARY metrics and in my opinion can only be well achieved organically.
For a new channel, i wouldnt hide the subscribers number. I think it's just based on your preference. I for one dont care how many subs a channel has as long as its content is good. Have you ever been influenced to subscribe to a channel based on the sub count? If that's a yes, then why?lol
Hope this helps!
Thanks for doing this!
How would you increase the probability of a video going viral in terms of tags/keywords? Do you just copy popular's video tags? Or how would the research process go for tags/keywords. Thanks!
No problem
So i get this question asked a lot or something similar to it, but no problem! IN my opinion, it's 95% of the time NEVER a tag/keyword problem.
If we all jsut simply copied popular videos' tags and keywords word from word, then why wouldn't we all just have viral videos?
While it does play a factor, what's even more important is CTR and WATCH TIME. If you can have a bangin CTR and watch time your video is more likely to go viral.
My research process is to gain inspiration from other videos and make it better. Plain and simple. If a video has worked before in the past, it can work again. I dont worry about competition ever. haha
Interesting thread. Following.
Thanks for the follow!
