I just spoke to someone who is struggling to pay bills and told him I can't help if you're still creating problems that don't exist. Stop overthinking and and start doing. Take the initiative. Read the forum, find a method and master it. No one is going to spoonfeed you unless you put in the time and effort and start asking the right questions.

Sorry for the clickbait, but please don't open the next "what to do" thread. Search the forum, choose a method, try 3 times, fail 4 times and come with specific questions.
You can sell anything.
Traffic is not your problem.
All you have to do is show the right ad to the right people.

Let me know what you've done and failed at and I'll do my best to help you get up and move on.

Hahah, good clickbait. I kinda understand what you're saying. There are lot's of topics where people give an outlay of their method and results, yet people whine it won't work.
I feel there are a number of skills required to make any method work and most people are not willing to try and fail.
Can you expand on what were the skills you had to master, that gave you the best ROI?

Cheers
 
I've currently just build a network of four YouTube channels I'm currently I'm uploading memes to them but I'm not getting any views or at least not consistently what can I do to improve my views?
 
I have been smiling while reading your post because it's straight facts

After dealing with a lot people I just came to a realization that not everyone is meant to be the MAN..

You can't save those who don't want to be saved.
 
Good, but this thread of yours will get buried by this time tomorrow and newbies will again start asking money making methods, helps and guides.

If I were you I would do keyword research first.. using VidIQ and Google trends.. then try to rank some long tails keywords once you get your initial traffic and subs and the algorithm start to love you then you can use this initial traffic to boost your future videos.

Delegate tasks to others :)

Maybe you go for a too competitive market or a market the doesnt exist?

Sad truth...
 
I couldn't agree more. Every time someone asks me for advice, I tell them JUST to DO SOMETHING. Anything!!!

Many studies show "learning by teaching" is the best way to retain information. That means I will learn 1000% more if I sit down and try to build a PBN myself versus watching a youtube video titled "How to create a pbn."

This method also gives you something in return if done correctly.
- I mean, when I scaled my first Etsy account to 10k/month, I was also publishing content on how others can do that.
- When I blew up my first IG page and started buying/selling meme accounts, I created content on how others can do that.
- When I spent 2 years on tour across America attending music festivals, I created content on how others could do that.
- My youtube is me making videos on "how to do" things as I learn them MYSELF.

People get too much in their heads. They run 1000s of "what ifs" around up there instead of trying. For some its a fear of failure. For others it's a fear of the unknown.... But fuck all that. The BEST way to get ahead is to try everything. You cannot be fearful of things in which you do not know.

Exactly bro. You can click on one of the thousands of guides on BHW for an example. Skip to like pages 10-12. You'll find people who ask irrelevant questions that have already been answered. But they just didn't read. On top of that, not knowing that one little detail will be what they attribute to their failure.

For example, if you go to the massive Free Stream site guide, I GUARANTEE that someone in the comments never started their journey because of something stupid, like "OP not telling them what proxy he used." Like bruh, google 'proxy.'

I firmly believe a lack of knowledge, in most cases, is just a pathetic and lazy excuse to not try something. (Obviously, there are the outliers, such as a surgical procedure or something... But taking health/risk out of the equation.)

I would rather someone say "I don't see myself enjoying trying that." versus bitching and crying that they didn't have enough information spoon-fed to them for them to succeed. We are in 2023, if you want to learn something, you WILL find the answers.

While it is true that "learning by teaching" can be an effective way to retain information, it is important to note that it may not work for everyone.

Some people may have a better learning style that involves watching videos or reading articles to learn new information.

Additionally, simply trying something without proper preparation or knowledge can lead to mistakes, wasted time, and potential harm.

There are studies that suggest that simply trying everything without proper preparation can be detrimental.

For example, a study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that students who engaged in unguided trial-and-error learning performed worse on subsequent tests compared to students who received guided instruction.

Another study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that individuals who engage in too much experimentation may be more likely to experience negative emotions, such as anxiety and regret.

Furthermore, encouraging individuals to "just do something" without addressing underlying fears or concerns may not be effective.

For individuals who have a fear of failure or the unknown, it may be more beneficial to address these fears through cognitive-behavioral therapy or other interventions before encouraging them to try new things.

In conclusion, while "learning by teaching" and trying new things can be effective for some individuals, it is important to consider individual learning styles and address any underlying fears or concerns before diving into new experiences.

Encouraging blind experimentation without proper preparation or knowledge may not be the best approach for everyone.

Sorry, when I said best, I didn't mean it's the 'correct way' to learn. But it is the best way to retain the information you have learned. Everyone learns differently. I just mean that it's proven that, statistically, you will have a better understanding of something if you can teach it to others. It's kind of the 'next step' to where you mention learning via watching videos! Here is from another study:

To summarize the numbers (which sometimes get cited differently), learners retain approximately:
90% of what they learn when they teach someone else/use immediately.
75% of what they learn when they practice what they learned.
50% of what they learn when engaged in a group discussion.
30% of what they learn when they see a demonstration.
20% of what they learn from audio-visual.
10% of what they learn when they've learned from reading.
5% of what they learn when they've learned from lectures.
Additionally, simply trying something without proper preparation or knowledge can lead to mistakes, wasted time, and potential harm.

Yes, this is very important to note! No one should be trying things without knowing what they are trying.... Anyone who tries new things without knowing the potential consequences is just waiting for disaster. I appreciate this addition as that's not really what I wanted people to take away by me saying, "I learn better sitting down and doing something versus watching a youtube video on the topic." I think people should absolutely try as many things as they can until they find something they are passionate about or that works. However, if they aren't even aware of the consequences, they must check that. That is actually a primary symptom of Antisocial Personality Disorder. (A disregard for consequences.)

Agreed!! Nothing in life is going to have one firm perfect answer for everyone. I'm so sorry if my comment made it seem that way. Absolutely the person who tries 1,000 different things and half-asses all of them will get way less far than the person who tries six things, finds one they enjoy, and goes full blast on that.


May I ask if this reflects your opinion, or was it just a gpt prompt to "respond as devils advocate to ___"? I hope that doesn't offend you, I don't mean that rudely, I'm just genuinely curious! But I know some people get touchy when mentioning use of AI :/ Its brought good points and necessary warnings to the conversation. And for me, I care most about seeing "all aspects" of a view. Genuinely appreciative about this; it has given me a great idea to do something similar to help avoid bias in the lectures I create for the Harbert school of business.:)2023-04-26 (22).png

I asked writesonic to reply to this according to serious studies, not devil advocate. It was a crazy good reply I think :)
 
I really like that... I think I can implement something similar when creating lectures to be sure I avoid biases. I'm a big fan of devil's Advocate to be aware of all points. I think it's super important to understand all 'faces' of things like this.

A bit unrelated, but my team and I typically spend a portion of time playing devil's advocate when trying to find the best approach for new projects. Especially if we all agree right off the bat, it just helps avoid biases that could be harmful!

Oh yeah, it's not that bad at all. Insane the capabilities of AI now vs a year ago.. I should note I didn't check it because it was that bad of a reply or anything, lol!** It just kind of read like AI. I haven't heard of writesonic; I'll have to look into it! I am so scared of using chatgpt for 'study' related things, as it tends to just make them up. I'm pretty excited to hear about an alternative with proper citations like this.

You may know of this already, but Grammarly has a Chrome extension that acts like a super-powered version of the 'red squiggles', but will not only do grammar but also it can rewrite entire sentence structures. It works excellently in removing that 'robot vibe' while adding a bit more of a 'human' element to things!
 
I have been a lurker on BHW for 3 years and never took any serious action. Recently I’ve been interested in starting a YouTube cash cow channel. But of course I’m having fear of no success and waste of money because I’m broke as a joke…is cash cow method still working?
 
A great reminder for many people losing time and energy in order to find the perfect spot or plan,
Making a plan, not rushing things, adjusting things and taking time to make the research is very important,
But none of them will make sense if you want to perfect each and not taking the actual actions,
Success is hit and miss since the very beginning of humanity, it's simply how it works,
After all, even when you fail, you'll be gaining experience and you'll have much greater chance to succeed within the next try,
It's the most important "gain" and asset that someone should invest into,
Great post & reminder op, may it be the inspiration for someone stuck over there
