Welcome Everyone
Hey everyone 👋 I'm Adil, based in Toronto, and I run the YouTube channel Raspberry Pi Made Easy. I made one video that kept getting views year after year. That's how all of this started , and it's the whole idea behind this community. That video wasn't better than my others. It was just the one I'd named after something people were actually typing into YouTube. I try to synthesize what’s working out and sharing it here in an easy to understand manner across the various classrooms I'm excited about: 🔹 Finding what people are already searching for, before you record 🔹 Helping people get found without ever being on camera 🔹 Sharing what I learned going from 0 → 1.2M+ views on a faceless channel, most of it from search When I'm not tinkering with tech, you'll probably find me: 📹 Creating content 📚 Reading a good book ⚽ Playing soccer If you've got a channel, drop it in the comments , I'll try to tell you what I think your best video is doing right.

Check 7 video ideas in 7 days (before you film any of them)
Here's something that happens a lot. You get an idea. You film it. You edit it. You upload it. And then almost nobody watches. The video wasn't bad. Nobody was looking for it. There's a way to find that out before you make it, and it takes about ten minutes. You type your idea into YouTube. You read the top five videos properly. You ask three things: is anyone smaller than me up there, are these results old or badly named, and do they actually answer the question? Then you decide. Make it, or skip it. Skipping is a win too. You just saved yourself a weekend. So let's do it seven times. One idea a day, for seven days. Ten minutes each. You post what you found in the thread, and I'll try to share some solid insights By Sunday you'll have seven ideas you actually checked, at least one worth filming, and a title written for it. That's your next month of videos decided by what people are searching for not by what felt like a good idea on a Tuesday. Never done this before? Good. Lesson 2 in Start Here shows you how, with two examples. It takes ten minutes to read. Want in? Comment 𝗜'𝗠 𝗜𝗡 below and I'll DM you the daily format right away.
Same video. Same title. I only changed the picture.
I ran a thumbnail test on one of my videos. Two versions. Same words on both. The only change was the picture behind the text. One took 74.9%. The other took 25.1%. Nearly three to one. And I would have picked the wrong one. One thing to know about that number: YouTube scores watch time share, not clicks. So the winner isn't just the one more people clicked. It's the one that brought in people who stayed. This is free and it's already in your Studio. Content → your video → Thumbnail → Test & compare. You upload two, YouTube splits the traffic between them, and it tells you which one won. No tools. No cost. No guessing. Two days of doing nothing told me something I could have got wrong on my own. Got a thumbnail you're unsure about? Bring it to Idea Hour — Tuesdays and I'll go through it with you one to one.

YouTube KWR API/MCPs?
Hey guys, just curious if anyone uses any keyword research tools that have an API so we can hook it up to Claude Code? Just curious because I do traditional SEO using Ahrefs, and being able to tap into the API has been a gamechanger, but I couldn't find anything for YouTube besides some on Apify 🤷‍♀️
