Hi! I would like to ask you for advice on building an audience. 1. What is more important? Video quantity or quality? (Sometimes I spend several months preparing something that doesn't necessarily attract people, but the one video that I took in one shot in one afternoon is best performing on my channel and has over 100k views). 2. Should I have one channel or several? (My interests: Painting, 3D Graphics, Philosophy, Keyboard Design for VR, Bible analysis etc... do not reach the same audience and I currently have several channels in different languages) 3. Is it better to publish in English or your native language? (My interests are universal, not local, but it takes me 4 times longer to create content in English due to translation and more repetitions. Someone said that because of my accent I sound unauthentic and it would be better to hire a voice-over artist with a good accent and correct grammar when advertising a product.) What do you think about it? What about automatic AI translation? Maybe I should post in both languages? 4. Is it worth making YouTube shorts? And if so, is it worth uploading them to other platforms? I mainly use YouTube, but I know there are videos there that are copied from Instagram or TikTok? Are tags and descriptions important?

Hi! I want to share with you my new YT channel and ask for advice on what to focus on, what to improve? Although on one of the channels my most popular video already has over 100k views, I still can't replicate it. The idea of ​​this new channel is a rat, which is to present the application of scientific research to everyday life in an accessible and funny way. I got half the views from reddit, but they removed the post for self promotion. How to promote it? Statistics: Views : 108 Watch time: 3.9h Thumbnail views: 47 Thumbnail click-through rate: 12.8%

I met Sam Ovens yesterday (see picture) For those who don't know him, he's the founder of skool.com, and was one of my early mentors. He’s made some valuable YouTube videos. Example 1. Example 2. Example 3. Here’s a loose transcript of a part of our conversation: HIM: “Y’know your Synthesizer community. What do the members in there want?” ME: “They care about impact, income, and fun. I think they want to make a good living doing what they love doing.” HIM: “And how are they trying to do that?” ME: “Well quite a few of them are creating their own content, planning to build an audience and then monetise somehow in the future.” HIM: "But aren't a lot of people in the group beginners? From what I've seen, content works really well for experts who have things to say. But beginners struggle…" This reaffirmed what I've been thinking for a while now. And even what @Ali Abdaal mentioned in his last newsletter (attached). So many people give the advice of "build an audience first, then figure out monetisation later” and this is possible. But if you're a beginner, I can pretty confidently say it’s not the fastest path to making a full-time living doing something you enjoy online. Does that mean you shouldn't build an audience? No. Does that mean that if you're a beginner, and one of your goals is to go full-time ASAP, building an audience isn't the best path? Very likely, yes. Here's the point I'm trying to make: - Almost 0% of people will build and monetize an audience within a year. - And a much higher percentage of people could find one person that will pay a full-time salary within the same time-frame So if you’re in a job you dislike, or you want to avoid having to get a job you dislike, and want to get out quickly, then building an audience probably isn’t for you.

Making money through content creation is possible. But it's hard, and takes a long-time. If you're a beginner content creator, you know this more than anyone else. When I was in that stage I was constantly worrying I'd never make it. I questioned whether I was good enough. And it's tough to stay consistent when you're not seeing results. There are two groups of people in this community: 1. The big boys. Established creators/consultants/entrepreneurs making good money 2. The beginners. People who, no matter how hard they try, aren't seeing the results they want This message is for the second group. There's many people in this community that want to make a living in the creator economy, but are struggling because of how tough it is. I've been thinking about this for a while. But the thought came to the surface again when I watched @Ali Abdaal's last video. Ali was asked "Do you recommend being a creator as a career path?" His response: "Hell no." (For context, Ali has 2,000+ customers for his Part-Time YouTuber Academy, so I trust his answer.) Now, I know what you're thinking... "Fuck." But please, please don't think this way. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, there's a light at either end of the tunnel. LIGHT ONE: Just keep going Read the first sentence of this post again. Just because succeeding is hard and takes a long time, doesn't mean it's not possible. And once you make it, it's all worth it. Quitting shouldn’t be an option. LIGHT TWO: Earn to learn There’s a great article called the Ladders of Wealth Creation (see image attached). It explains there are four ladders to wealth creation: 1. Time for money 2. Service business 3. Productized services 4. Selling products It explains that “the potential earnings increase the higher up each ladder you climb. But the difficulty increases with each move as well.” Selling products, productized services, or starting your own service business is possible. But it’s hard, and it takes a long time.
