I'm brand new to Skool and exploring... but also pretty new to creating videos for YouTube. I have a fairly new channel Florentis Learning and have experimented with lives, shorts, and videos. I would love any feedback or tips if anyone has a chance to take a peek at my channel. https://www.youtube.com/@florentislearning

@Rebecca Adamson Thank you. Wow that sounds great. It sounds like something I might like to be included in. Can you send me a link to it so I can check it out too?

@Jeannine Grantham thank you. The songs are fun to create. I embed them in lessons for ESL teachers to use in their classrooms. I love having songs that match my lessons perfectly.

Question to ChatGPT

Hey, does anyone here use the paid version of ChatGPT? Is it actually better than the free one? Also, if you’ve got slower internet like me, is upgrading still worth it? Please tell me your experience with ChatGPT! Ton of thanks!

I have the paid version but I use projects and I also create images. I also tend to copy / paste my transcripts in and ask for SEO suggestions. I have also started identifying videos that do well and ones that don’t and asking them to help me reframe the poor performing one. This has been surprisingly successful in terms of changing titles, descriptions, tags etc and seeing more views.

Questions 🙌

Combination of Videos (Made for Kids vs. Not)

I own Florentis Learning -- my primary target audience is online independent ESL teachers but I also target primary school teachers, and homeschooling parents. Initially, I was just posting videos giving 'teaching tips' and doing some live webinars. As part of my curriculum, I also have 'cartoon style music videos' and have doubled my subscribers, and my watch time has increased from 10 to 44 in just a week. These are integrated into my lessons as warm-ups but could also be used by ESL teachers or primary teachers in their classrooms. I have been marking these as 'Made for Kids' but I don't know if I should do that or not. I don't know if I am confusing the algorithm.

@Des Dreckett it would be for teachers to use with kids although the videos could be watched by kids in YouTube Kids, that’s not really my purpose. The interesting thing is the spike in my subscribers and watch time since I started posting… some of these are getting 800 views either previously my highest video watch time was 10% of that

Clipping long form to Shorts

Wondering if anyone has experience of clipping their longer form videos (for example through VidIQ), into shorts to then linking back to the longer form. If so, did it work and any tips? Thanks, David

I have been using Reap.video to make shorts and I like it because I can schedule the shorts to my channel and Instagram Reels at the same time. My channel Florentis Learning is here -- also very small :) https://www.youtube.com/@florentislearning

@David Taylor Yes, I definitely get a number of views from my shorts and have gotten some subscribers as well. The only compliant that I have with Reap (autoposting) is that I cannot tie it to a related video so I have to go in and do that every few days. I have shorts scheduled with Reap through October. I pull them from my lives and then tie them back to the related video that they came from.
