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.

I mean am I wrong? 😉 Thank you so much for agreeing to be in the video, Paddy! Your section could've been an entire standalone video - so many gold nuggets!

Colin and Samir did 13 years knowledge in 46 minutes. That’s around 3.5 minutes per year. But this, with 83 years in 2hr39, takes less than 2 minutes per year knowledge. So obviously better value here.

[@WinVault]

Plus the fact we’re accessing soo many different experts in this video (…but learn from both cos the Colin & Samir one is a great video as well!)

[@Venky-with-Data]

😂

[@chrisprova2558]

colin and samir have 1.5 million subs lol, okay. Compare that to a girl in her bedroom with 50k subs, don't be foolish brother

[@WayOfTheZombie]

Holy dork, love it

[@victoriaveeart]

⁠@@chrisprova2558Colin & Samir didn’t just magically end up being the best or have the roles they do now 😂 you start somewhere. the fact that a lot of these pro’s acknowledges her efforts is proof enough that she’s going where she intends.

[@Ninepinne]

When you said "Think bigger", i didn't think THIS big!

[@AprilynneAlter]

that's why I said "think even bigger!!!" 😂 I wasn't kidding!

[@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.

[@AprilynneAlter]

@@3dchick ooh this is such a fascinating idea!!!

[@3dchick]

@@AprilynneAlter I'm going to have to percolate on it more, but yeah! 😊😊😊

The section on finding a KZbin community was spot on. I’m still trying to find a group like that. Doing KZbin without anyone to talk things through with can be tough!

[@AprilynneAlter]

It's so, so hard!! The first 2 years of my KZbin journey I did pretty much solo - but I'm so glad I've found my group

[@streetschoolprof.]

83 years lol. That was a pretty good title hook right there buddy

[@Skapo]

I feel so old. Haha I started YT in February 2006 and was on Google Video for a year before that. I’d be more than 20% of the collective years on this project. Time really flies!
