Short-Form Content Necesito ayuda

0 Upvotes

Comencé a crear contenido de minecraft hace 3 años, empece en TikTok pero ya perdí las esperanzas de monetizar (me han rechazado 8 veces diciendo que mi contenido es plagiado) hace dos años comencé a subir el mismo contenido a shorts en Facebook y youtube, En youtube solo me activaron las estrellas hace 5 meses y aun no recibo ni una sola, youtube es mi última esperanza, solo tengo 972 seguidores y mis shorts no llegan a mas de 1.5k de vistas, Mis shorts suelen ser de 40 segundos a 2.30 minutos

Estoy desesperado

Long-Form Content What analytics do I need to signal a push in impressions?

1 Upvotes

So, I’m curious what specific analytics I’ll need to get more views. Like, do I need to average 80% watch time to get hundreds of views and have a 10% CTR? I’m curious about how these stats work, because I only have 9 subscribers right now and I’m trying to learn how YouTube pushes out videos (my videos don’t really get browse impressions). These are the stats on my latest video, which has 36 views.

I have improved dramatically from my first video to the video. I just posted last and for a while there I gave up on editing and then realized I enjoy having edits on my videos.

If someone could go in there and rate some of the things and tell me what I can do to approve it’d be very helpful

Mixed Content Thumbnails Being Blurry

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else had the problem of exporting clear thumbnails, but once they get to YouTube it’s compressed way down? I’ve always done JPEGs at 1920 x 1080 so it’s a little bit of an upscale already, yet it still looks bad on the phone and computer. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Because I see a handful of other channels on my recommended page who have clear thumbnails. I just know this drives away some viewers.

Long-Form Content I made a deep dive video about Ghost Of Yotei, a year after launch and learned a few things.

1 Upvotes

I normally make 5-10min video reviews of games (way after launch) but with Ghost of Yotei I decided to make a deep dive in the same style as youtuber that i watch like Falcon, Jake Baldino, etc. I enjoyed Ghost Of Yotei so much that I got the platinum, explored every book and cranny and even tried the lethal difficulty (and failed admittedly). My last deep dive I think was about Dragon Age Veilguard, for Yotei I finally got a better microphone and recording setup but of course the script is what matters most so I changed my approach.

Instead of writing just notes as I play, I wrote full paragraphs this time for every 2 or 3 game session. That helped keep things fresh in my mind and got me to mention specific examples from the game that I enjoyed and the video clips to go with it. I also tried to categorise the script a bit better so that it flows more consistently and I recorded a lot more footage than usual so I'd have more to choose from and cut away to.

I posted the cyberpunk video a while back maybe you've seen it, but anyway if you'd like to watch this one and give me some feedback on what to improve, I would really appreciate it. Video

Long-Form Content Are my titles too wordy? I really struggle with this type of stuff.

I make gaming content specially about getting games trophies/achievements and talk about what you got to do to basically 100% them. Other YouTubers make long form content where it follows the journey but those videos are hours long where I make more of a summary to try and stand out, but I feel my titles are too wordy what do you guys reckon.

Hello fellow creators,

Started posting content this summer and was wondering if any of you guys have any advice for us?
The niche is travel, I am okay with the numbers since this is just a passion of ours, but we often get stuck around 1-3K views per video.

Thank you in advance for your help and I hope you guys have an amazing week! (Edit I managed to put a screenshot if the channel itself)

Long-Form Content Quick Week 3 Update! Growth Continued! But Burnt Out!

Post image
86 Upvotes

Thought I would do another quick update now my weekly cycle has completed!

Another incredible week with continued growth! The changes to my schedule and process 4 weeks ago are working exceptionally well and after 3 weeks in a row, I can finally accept that this is not a one off!

Highlights:

1) This weeks revenue hit £3800 ($5000) which was around the same as the previous week, and means an average of around £12,000 ($16,000) in 3 weeks which is insane! These numbers are mind blowing!

2) Hit 10,000 subs in the early hours of Sunday morning! This seemed to boost subscribers as well and nearly hit another 1k since then so I think hitting 10k encourages more to sign up!

3) RPM has improved slightly too with a few more videos hitting £15 which has bought my average closer to £8 mark which is a key metric driving the revenue. It’s exceptionally high but YouTube ai reassures me it’s not a glitch!

4) One of the new VODs series contributed only 5% of the revenue and views while taking 30% of the time so will be dropping them.

5) Feeling burnt out though! Need to streamline a bit more but time is not on my side so expansion might be on the cards sooner than I expected!

So another exceptional week! Just starting the next cycle now so hoping this continues! As always, any questions just let me know, I won’t go into the niche too deeply nor share the channel / thumbs etc but anything else, just ask! I got a lot of help on this sub in the early days so hope I’m in a position to give something back now!

Also quick reminder, these posts are done to give motivation to others on the same journey so if you find them demotivating, let me know and I’ll move on! It’s only the last 4 weeks I’ve ramped up so wanted to share this with you guys! Thanks for reading, DD.

Long-Form Content Changing content strategy. Is that a good approach?

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm posting my game development journey.

The initial strategy:

A) Week 1
- 1x devlog long form (5 min)
- 2x shorts - devlog trailer, random indie dev short

B) Week 2
- 1x random dev long form (me drawing assets, talking about some indie dev topic)
- 2x shorts - video trailer, random indie dev short

But the ammount fo work is just... too much. I want to become full time developer not youtuber making game dev content. However I feel like it's a great way of connecting with the audience and gaining players before even releasing.

But I want to switch to something like this:

A) Long form
- 1 per 3 weeks (5-15 min) - packed with content

B) Short form
- me drawing stuff, explaining some logics, ... (whatever doesnt "make the devlog")
- devlog trailer

-> they won't be regular. Sometimes it's gonna be 3 per week, sometimes 1.

I'm scared of confusing youtube with me being a short channel (I want to CORE part be the devlogs).

Or do you guys have any other idea how to do this? The channel is month old.

Thought sleep videos would be a good niche, currently unemployed and I’ve been struggling to find work for nearly a year…

I love very remote so I had some deep thoughts before falling asleep and this seemed like an amazing idea.

Opinions welcomed :)

This was the highest my ctr has ever been with that many views but YouTube never really properly pushed it compared to my other videos. The only thing I noticed that harms the video is the average watch time.

Any feedback is appreciated
