What is the secret to why these YouTube videos all did so well? This isn’t a lecture; I’m asking you. What do you think is the reason? Trend surfing can only account for the one about the upcoming 5th installment. Is it the titles and thumbnails? Is it the topic? Or is it that fact that millions of people know and love The Matrix and it’s characters, and could rewatch it over and over and still enjoy it? Another important question here is, are these videos able to be monetized? Are they eligible for monetization under the “free use” clause, or are they suppressed due to copyright strikes? I’m actually not totally sure. I’m thinking of making a video like these and testing it on my other YouTube channel to see what happens. I haven’t made a “video essay” made from movie clips before, but I do love a good challenge and a good experiment, and this would be both. If y’all have knowledge or experience in this niche, please share what you know in the comments, or tell us your best guess as to why these videos do so well and how it can be applied to other YouTube niches. Let’s see how far the rabbit hole goes 😉

Is there a way to post videos on YT that aren't public? I'd like to be able to make videos for my clients and then post them to YT for access, but I don't want them to be public. Is there a way to do this on YT or do I need to do something different to host the videos?

There’s a place here that makes a really good Butter Salted Caramel. I might need some after work 👀 what do y’all like??

What’s your next video topic? Are you trying to answer a specific question or solve a specific problem? If you aren’t sure what to make next, I love using tools like Answer The Public and Google Trends to see what people are searching for and get ideas for my next video! Let us know what you’re working on!

I’ve been to Spain, Japan, and Mexico. I don’t think we’re going anywhere out the US this year, but I want to start planning for next year! Where have you been that you absolutely loved??
