It makes me so sad seeing my favorite KZbinrs losing views like this. Thanks so much for explaining the process and how we can help. I'm a long-time viewer, who rarely, if ever, comments. But I'll start leaving a comment even if it's just a smiley face or American flag. ❤

[@sandramoline9757]

I started seeing your content when I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. It's a battle, but I remain hopeful that with your exercise suggestions, I too can reverse my osteoporosis. Consistency is key. Thank you!

[@gloryb-tv]

You got this!

[@lauraochoa228]

Just discovered your channel. Please talk more about body changes. I'm in 60's and I concur that it's a bit jarring when my body betrays me.

[@townandcountrystyle2448]

Content I would love to see would be: 1. A workout video (maybe feature a line dance?) that I could watch 2-3 times a week. Make a new one every other month. 2. Outfit ideas for the week. Feature jeans and a tee shirt but with something interesting, like a hat, cool shoes or a blazer. Something to make it uniquely our own and get out of a style rut. 3. All aging coping skills. 4. Daily/weekly gratitude quotes. I hope this helps. I gave up my two KZbin channels and Facebook page because of all the work and stuff I had to buy just to keep things interesting. Good luck to you!

[@townandcountrystyle2448]

I'm Keto....so don't forget about us too...:)

[@dianeschexnyder3376]

I knew a lot of work must go in to making a KZbin video, but WOW!!! I've already done most of the things you suggested, but now I also receive notifications. Hope this helps!

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you!

[@LauraD10801]

I’m just curious, I often speed up long videos and watch to the end that way, does that affect your watch time?

[@gloryb-tv]

Great question! I don't think speeding it up affects the watch time. Thx!

[@Mary-zd4up]

I've noticed in the last month I used to get notified when a new video or 'shorts' was up, and then it came to a screeching stop!! It is so much easier when I open my phone and the videos are right there to choose. Bummer! 😮 I don't have time to stop and open KZbin app, search, read, and then click. Fast-paced days don't have time for that. I like it the way it was before. So, I haven't caught all your videos. Other subscriptions stopped sending their daily 'Shorts'. ..or should I say youtube did! Thank you for the clarification. Love your research, facts and suggestions. Keep them. BTW, you look great! 🎉😊

[@gloryb-tv]

You're right! We all have a love/hate relationship with YT. It used to be better when they let us know about the channels we subbed to having a new video. We're YT's customer and they're making us work too hard. Like self-serve checkout at the grocery store - I don't work there!

[@Mary-zd4up]

@@gloryb-tv Very well said! 🎉😅

[@aileensawyer]

I enjoy all your videos and please take us on your journey share what things you find I’m sure we could all learn new things for us over 60

[@gloryb-tv]

Great ideas. Thank you!

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

Thank you for breaking down how KZbinrs get paid. I'm 62, been monitized since 2021. I don't count on KZbin as my sole income, just fun money for me, but this is good information for me to share with people I know that are interested.

[@trixiegirlism]

I do tend to watch shorter videos (maybe 20 minutes or less) more often because I'm subbed to so many. If they're longer I tend to skip through. I started watching your videos maybe 10yrs ago because of your tips, tricks, hacks, etc. A few more personal videos would be interesting and possibly make you more relatable to some. Possibly just throwing in a few clips of your home life interspersed in whatever kind of video your filming would be interesting. For instance, the clip of you sitting in your sun room was lovely and I enjoyed looking at your surrounding decor. Or possibly just a walk with your dog, etc. to break up what can sometimes be a bit monotonous to some especially in a longer video.

[@gloryb-tv]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@FrancneQuan]

Thank you for posting this information, especially about you tube works. Yes, I know a lot of hours go into making and editing videos. I think yt is trying to get rid of some of their influencers. Like the over 50 crowd and the over 50 females. It is NO coincidence that both you and Angie from Hot and Flashy have experienced the same yt issues. I will do everything I can to help out your channel. As for topics I like fashion, make up. skin care, skin care procedures (at home and in office) exercise (especially osteopenia videos), adding in a great book or a healthy recipe you have recently tried.

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you! OMG - YT trying to get the over-50 crowd to quit. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in their offices to see what they really say to each other. We have the same taste in topics! Thx for your ideas.

[@bethwrigley105]

Video idea: Day in the life, just what you are doing on a "typical" day.

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you!

[@eydiehostetler9123]

I have heard that successful KZbinrs provide information that is easily verifiable, that is, that can be easily fact checked. Stating something is your opinion should be clear thus not requiring fact checking. Also, you should be relatable on a personal level, providing more details of your life than you probably want to. People want to know more than what you eat in a day. They also like free giveaways. Now, having stated this, I wish I could gather and provide the sources from which I have heard this.😊

[@CrankyKat4106]

I really enjoy watching makeup and skincare routines, but I also don’t want someone to go into debt or change their spending habits (or end up with a stockpile of unused/disliked products. I just thought I’d suggest them as a backup plan if you need a quick & easy video idea. I would also appreciate anything healthy lifestyle-related. What you eat in a day, recipe ideas, the meals & snacks you travel with, exercise routines, etc. Oh! And anything book-related. Favorite authors, genres, books, etc.

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you! I will keep all of that in mind!

[@sharonatwipperwillie5633]

Thank you for your video

[@gloryb-tv]

Thanks for watching!

[@dianahimes2179]

How do I sign up for your newsletter?

[@gloryb-tv]

At this link: www.gloryb-tv.com/get-tips Thanks!

[@Belle1900]

I follow your channel because we are in the same age group. I look forward to your healthy cooking ideas even though I'm not 100 percent vegan/veg. I'm trying to incorporate more vegetarian cooking into my daily diet. So, yes...more cooking/health/lifestyle related videos are what interest me.

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you!

[@connienunez9924]

Glory, a questions about "watching" ....specifically on fashion videos, I tend to watch and click ahead on the red progress line if it's an item I'm not interested in. I do complete the video to the end, but does KZbin count that as a full view?

[@gloryb-tv]

Good question! YT probably adds up all of the actual watch time. If it's a 12 minute video and you actually watched 9 minutes, it likely counts as 9 minutes. I do like the "chapters" feature, too, in order to watch only what I want to watch.

[@deborahschultz4107]

I enjoy your videos! Thank you :)

[@beautybydez]

It's such a conundrum, isn't it. But great and informative video, Glory - thanks for demystifying it - I learned a lot!

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you, Dez!

Small content creator here. If my description box includes commission-based affiliate links, do I need to classify the post as an “ad”? I’ve never been paid by a company to create content about their product. (I’ve made small amounts of money here and there via affiliate links.)

[@gloryb-tv]

Good question. I've never considered an affiliate link to mean "sponsored" nor an "ad". For me, if I'm paid cash to create a video for a brand, that is sponsored / ad. I do have a sentence in the description box about the affiliate links.

[@renees_ruminations0323]

@ thank you!

[@michelecapriotti4412]

The 60+ stuff would be welcome! Suddenly stuff is happening to my feet. It’s the weirdest feeling. Right out of the blue. I can relate 😉

[@gloryb-tv]

Right? Two high school friends of mine are dealing with serious health things (one with a weird eye issue and the other with skin cancer). Seems like only a few years ago we were pom pom girls.

[@thetackroomtx]

Hi ! Great to see a post! 😍 you are spot on on the info YT is funneling to viewers.i have noticed a big decline in posts from my favorite channels and if I click on a say music video that’s all YT will send me. It gets very frustrating. Like the direction you want to move your topics to. Menopause!! And the symptoms that come with it. I’ve decided to optimize my health after watching Dr. Felice Gersh on YT talk about it. I now incorporate lots of brain boosting / Protecting/ strengthening supplements so I can keep my mind. That’s been the biggest challenge. But optimizing my health has become my number one priority. Look forward to engaging in your new community 💕

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you.

[@beyond50skin]

Looking forward to this😊😊😊. You should do a video dedicated to creators on how to make money on KZbin and how to understand analytics!! You know SO MUCH! Thanks Glory and looking forward to seeing what you share in 2025 😊 Ps end screen videos are missing 😊

[@gloryb-tv]

The end screen videos were missing when you played it? LOL. I just checked on my other monitor in Studio and they're there. Were you watching on mobile? I'll have to watch the video separately to see if they don't appear. That's concerning. Then I'll have to start a ticket with Support. Blech!

[@beyond50skin]

@ yes, no end screen videos to click on - so weird. I was watching on mobile and you should totally start a tech channel. I love it ….anyway wishing you great luck on this new content! Looking forward to watching … and oh my gosh, your dog is adorable. 😊

[@judyshather9926]

And here we thought you just weren't posting perhaps busy with other things...

[@dnk4559]

KZbin has definitely not been promoting you to me. They seem only to push the very popular videos and ignore smaller channels.

[@sheriwilliams8942]

Algorithms

[@gloryb-tv]

Right!

[@debmann5168]

I have enjoyed your channel, but it could be that some, like me, are watching other content right now. Unless you are loving what Trump and the Maga Republicans are doing now, there is an onslaught of news to keep up with that directly impacts our lives, so leisure time seems to have escaped me. I'm not watching the relaxing and fun channels I used to, or even keeping up with my hobbies like I used to.

[@gloryb-tv]

Thank you.

[@FreeToBe_Me]

@@gloryb-tvSo that’s a yes.
