I live in iran and see your videos . Your editing is not fancy and your production is not crazy . But i still watch it only for one thing : "relevancy" . Nothing in this platform can beat relevancy and originality . I perfer to watch your videos over all the big famous youtube gurus cause fhey dont feel like youtubers anymore . The closeness and friendliness in your videos that come from this minimalist edit is much more attractive than fanct editing cause its relevant . Thank you . Wish you the best ⚘️

I agree. Even though I like editing myself it's not an important factor for me to watch a video. Authenticity and relatability is far more important. I watch because I can connect to the words being spoken and it makes me engaged in sharing. It's probably different for different niches. Some people can relate to different things, we as creators must find where we relate the most to our viewers while retaining our authenticity and passion.

I don't like fancy editing, too much fluff and feels artificial, like one of those commercials. My style probably works with the minority audiences but I think that's better than nothing. After all, I can only work around my busy schedule. That being said, I do enjoy watching informative videos on KZbin over silly challenges hence my videos emulates those. I do enjoy a good laugh watching short skits though :)

I could agree more. I stopped watching those fancy edited channels. It’s become a turnoff for me. They are just click bait, but not giving any actual helpful tips.

Kevin, I will disagree with anyone who says yours videos are not engaging. I wait for your new video only to listen to your opinions, experiences and KZbin journey as I too am a KZbinr. I have so much to learn from what you speak. We genuinely need honest people like you to guide us.

@KevinChee2 күн бұрын
we're all struggling I'm sure. There's a downside to what I say, it makes it hard for me to sell my service if I ever want to mentor any smaller KZbin channels. Most go with gurus who first claim it is easy, get them to sign up, then proceed to tell them the truth. I do think I need to eventually charge to help channels at a lower level but we'll see.

I have watched your channel because you validate the struggles. A creator can follow all the right advice and still flop. It’s because the answer that’s right for your talent to reach your audience is more complex. Right now I’m dealing with my audience shifting and I need to find out what they shifted too. It’s hard to break 100 views now. Which on the positive side means I’m finally free of my 60 hour projects if they like quick and easy now!

Hi Kevin! Love your channel! I’ve been a long time subscriber and appreciate how you get to right to the point and always keep it honest here. Sometimes it hurts but I have to hear it. lol I know I am never wasting time watching your content. Thank you for always making helpful videos. Do you have a video explaining the impression click through rate? I am not understanding why some of my videos have a higher rate but they aren’t getting pushed through. Or maybe I am not understanding how it works. thank you!
@KevinChee2 күн бұрын
Thanks for being supportive. But no, I don't have any videos on that topic because I myself have come across such situation where my CTR is 14% yet it wasn't pushed through. I gave up in trying to aim for high CTR and instead focus on the value. In doing so, I started seeing my videos pushed for CTR as low as 5% and average watch percentage of 40%. I honestly believe aiming at the value and building that engagement contributes more than high CTR and average watch duration. They are all important and counts in how KZbin ranks your videos so it is good to try and improve them but it is too subjective and out of our control. If you ask me, my priorities are value > engagement > community > ctr (title first then thumbnail) > watch duration Maybe I should work backwards to increase views but this direction I use does give me high subscription rate.

@Mun-x1Күн бұрын
@KevinChee well then do as you like for now, but I personally believe shorts don't bring any new viewers, they just get recommend mostly to your active subscribers and viewers, shorts category is mostly for those who makes only shorts videos, and they can be beneficial if you actually manage to bring your shorts viewers in your long form videos, as they are supposed to work better for new channels to get more viewers in less time. So in your matter I believe you make good shorts who can carry viewers till the end, so keep doing maybe they might work for you.
