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 😉

⭐️APRIL CONTEST⭐️ For the month of April, invite people to join the NewTubers community and you could win a course/advertisement inside of the classroom! That’s right, you can create your own “course” to advertise your YouTube channel, your community, or another offer you have! Every person you invite is one entry into the final drawing at the end of the month!! That means even if you only get ONE person to join, you still have a chance to win! More new members = more chances to win! There will be at least ONE winner, although of the contest pops off, I may consider choosing additional winners 😉 When they join, they are asked “how did you hear about NewTubers?” And they can put your name there, or they can DM me or comment on this post who invited them. The winner’s ad will stay in the classroom for a minimum of 3 months. We will build it together to make sure it’s an effective ad for YOU, and also to ensure it meets community guidelines 🙂 Did you join during the month of April?? You can get in on the action too! Invite as many friends to join as you like and get a chance to win!! Who’s ready??

Today I’m playing “photographer” helping my wife shoot a wedding 📸 tomorrow I’m replacing a part in our old fridge before we rent the place 🏠 Might try to film a YouTube video afterward now that I have my computer set up at the new house! Will have to see how the day goes. What are y’all up to this weekend??

It’s April 15, halfway through the contest and so far we have 3 contenders!! @Melissa Pier , @Christine Howatt , and @Stephanie Klotz have all referred new members to NewTubers and have a chance to win an Ad Spot in the classroom!! The Ad Spot will be your own “course” in the NewTubers classroom to promote your YouTube channel, your Skool community, or another offer you may have! It’s not too late to get in on this, even if you’re a new member this month! All you to do is refer friends to join NewTubers. They can drop your name when they apply to join, but I’ll also see your name if you use your unique referral link. Every new member you refer increases your odds of winning the ad spot prize! 🏆

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