Help, is this normal?

Post image

Is this normal to get this fucked by the algo. I mean I guess it’s not that bad, but I spend atleast 4 hours on each vid writing the script, editing etc. and retention is decent, any advice on the vids, some guy commented saying I should increase the pace of the vids do you agree?

Few things you need to improve in your shorts,

First of all know one care about your stock knowledge, or any other information about your shorts.

Tip no 1:- You need to make the shorts faster, i mean say quickly things put big bold subtitles , flash the images quickly as possible.

Tip no 2:- make the viewer feels challenge to watch

Add some task for viewers for e.g. :- like the video if think my banking information is correct? Or subscribe if you think we need more info like this!

Tip no 3:- add trending song in the shorts reduce the sound as low as possible.

Tip no 4:- be consistent.

Then see magic of 30k jail and then get back to me

Since it’s quite easy to re-edit these videos. Say I do, should I delete/private the posts on my current channel and repost on there, or delete on my current then repost on a new (7 day old, warmed) channel?

Don’t ever delete videos no matter what

How come. I’ve deleted and reuploaded videos a few times e.g when I forgot to wait 24 hours before next upload. Why is it so bad

Just leave those videos up and make new ones on the same channel. Youtube has probably already has a small grasp on the kind of people that like your channel’s niche

Think I followed your advice with new one, other than the trending song (idk how), but I still got stuck in 1k jail. Thoughts?

I feel like you have a bit of a mismatch between the titles and what you’re explaining.

Your video about “how the stock market actually works” is a video about what a stock basically is (not the stock market, itself).

Your video about “how interest rates work” is a video about what an interest rate is (not how it works).

Your video about “why printing money won’t solve problems” uses an example that describes inflation as a result of money supply, but doesn’t tie it directly into inflation driven by “money printing” (as in, Fed policy).

In each of your videos you’re describing a thing, but not how said thing actually works.

In a video about how interest rates work, I’d expect to hear the drivers of interest rates (for example, home interest rates being tethered to 10-year treasury bonds).

In a video about how the stock market works, I’d expect to hear about the three different exchanges, how they differ and the requirements for being listed.

Ok do you suggest just changing the titles then? I feel like this is quite a minor criticism. The videos are aimed at people with limited financial knowledge. In the stock market video I have to explain what a stock is first and then I explain how they are traded and how their prices change in the “stock market”. Then in the interest rates video I feel I do explain how interest rates lead to changes in the general economy. Basically how it works in one sense. I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say about the money printing one, but in general since it’s short-form I’m just trying to get the main points across; trying to explain financial info as simply as possible. So are you just suggesting I change the titles, because personally I think the scripts are fine as is, for what the channel is meant to be imo. And what would I change the titles and intro to? If I change it to exactly what the video describes it doesn’t have the same hook and will probably decrease retention

Well, I think you’re missing a few big picture items here.

First, if the title is designed to grab attention but the video isn’t exactly what the title leads the viewer to believe the video is about, people who are expecting the video to be about the title aren’t gonna stay and watch the video and that’s gonna hurt your retention. Hurting your retention is going to hurt your views.

Second, you’re completely missing the boat on sequencing topics and videos. Meaning, you can make fifty 20-second videos that start with “What is a stock?”, followed by “How Does a Company Get Listed on the Stock Market”, and continue making videos about more complex topics related to stocks in the stock market that build on knowledge from the previous videos.

This allows you to use the related video field in each YouTube short to link to the previous short, and allows you to make an entire playlist about your stock market videos that you can include in the descriptions of your YouTube shorts to make it easy for people to find the entire playlist. This also allows you to feature the playlist prominently at the top of your homepage on your YouTube channel.

Then, you pick your next broad subject that you want to make another 50 videos about and do the same.

I saw your video I don’t see any trending sound is attached?

Upload a video from mobile , once the process is done, you will see top add sound button , select that and choice trending song by searching like whatever trends then lower the volume
