2hrs 39min of youtube knowledge that will blow up your channel in 2025

[@AprilynneAlter]

Thank you so, so much for watching! I'd love to know: what was your favorite section or insight? And if you're looking for more KZbin friends/community, fill out this form! airtable.com/appI0qOxWDIifbHUj/pagDRATwuDTwIxJOM/form I'm in the process of cooking something up 👀

[@VidhathShetty]

@@AprilynneAlter I've watched the whole video in one sitting and i felt like the videos you already had as a deep dive i skipped but I did watched the concise summary you gave I would watch that. Maybe a shorter summary with a CTA would work. I think this video can really generate so many more videos for you. But the most insightful part was the algorithms and how KZbin validates from a smaller group of watch history to a larger group and beyond. That could be a full series unto itself you should totally create some series on that. I also felt that you could have added collaborations and how people have strategically used them to create better content. I don't know If I would qualify for the airtable form yet. Are there any specific requirements. I'm a brand new channel. That's all I can give you for now. Looking forward to your rest of the videos.Would love to share more insights post experimenting what I've learned in this video.

[@WinVault]

Damn - the internet really has all the information we need 💎📈

[@AprilynneAlter]

💙💙

[@3dchick]

This is sooo awesome!!! The comparison of thumbnails to book covers really struck me. I used to be a cover designer/artist, and you're so 100% right. The mistake so many YTers make is the same as so many authors make, wanting to "show a scene" rather than "stop the scroll". And knowing your genre and trope expectations, etc, is how you sell books. But, just like YT, if the book doesn't deliver what the cover promises (it has man chest but it's not a romance, for example),.. That's how people click away or leave one-star reviews. I actually quit because one too many authors insisted on things I knew wouldn't work. Fun fact: if it's fantasy, get a dragon in there somehow, even if it's just someone's coat of arms, and for sci fi, spaceship ass is tried and true. 😂 I'm only that far in and loving this so much!! ❤❤❤

[@AprilynneAlter]

this is so insightful! there really are so many parallels - I think about that with different thumbnail styles as well. If a thumbnail looks like a video essay, but you click through and it's a podcast, the video doesn't deliver on the expectation that the thumbnail set

[@3dchick]

@@AprilynneAlter YES!! It definitely pays to study what style goes with which type of video. And, keeping with the parallels, maybe have a few basic types of thumbnails as templates for each content bucket. They'd have to be refreshed, but sometimes it's just nice to have somewhere to start. I used to have them for romance, sci fi, etc, along with specific lists of and folders with fonts and other basic assets for each genre and it's subs.

I love all the nuggets in this. I did have a request for your next video though, i don't know if it's just me but i find the jump cuts in and out and all over the place every 3 seconds while im trying to watch paddy talk extremely distracting. For shorts i can understand this because you're competing with short attention spans and 3 seconds is a long time is shorts land. But in long form, if im 16 minutes into the video it means I'm here and willing to watch for the long haul and i think jumpy edits all over the place make me want turn it off more than keep watching. Or maybe that's just me a bit fed up with this trend in general. Anyway, i can definitely appreciate all the hard work you put into this. It takes me a week to edit a 20 minute video, i can't imagine the effort required for 2.5hrs+ serious kudos and thanks for all that you do.
