Hey whatsup guys. I was on another forum giving tips but I feel like this crowd is hungrier and will appreciate this more. I get a few million views per a month and I have a system where I can film quickly, I can maintain the channel in about 5 hours a week ( if I needed/wanted to).
Some tips:
1) LOWER THE BAR. You guys read atomic habits? A professor split a photography class into two groups. One group was given the instructions take the BEST possible photo you will be graded on quality. The other group was told take as many photos as you can you are graded solely on quantity.
The group that had ZERO focus on quality and just took as many photos as possible had ALL the best photos in the class.
Planning videos trying to optimize never made me better - making videos did. Pump them out - you can put out 1,000 bad videos then get good and get traction at video 1,001 youtube is smart it'll bury your bad videos.
2) I recommend working on public speaking in general. Join toastmasters. Go to open Mics public speaking carries over VERY well.
3) Finally - adjust. You focus on quantity and building your skills ( just being a better speaker don't even worry if it transfers to the videos yet) after doing that for some months you start to assess what videos did (slightly) better. For me I would get like 10 views but one video got 65. So I made more like that - then I got 1,000 made more like that. You keep nicheing down on what works best - make sense?
Alright guys - get after it!
