[@adventurewithbernie]

To small (tiny even) KZbinrs like myself, information like this is so contradictory. There is a plethora of videos to watch to try and help improve my channel. But the "how to succeed" videos differ drastically from one to the next. At the end of the day, I still scratch my head not knowing what ARE the most important things to do. Quality, I do accept is extremely important. But if nobody watches, it doesn't matter how good the videos are.

[@salinalee2613]

real talk, yt should only be a part of your overall strategy if you're trying to be a content creator full time, or want to build an audience imo. I think that being genuinely involved in your niche's community builds an ideal, dedicated audience organically. you probably also want to figure out how to most efficiently diversify your content distribution, but there's no single correct way to do this imo. that's what I've been trying to figure out for myself, and tbh it's not easy b/c it's so personalized. it doesn't help that youtube treats their algorithm like a mystery meat hotdog that sources it's ingredients from classified sources lol. I also think a lot of what ppl think works is essentially confirmation bias, so you have to know your audience well enough to know what will engage them and make them watch your content. because of my personal viewing habits, I'm regularly getting recommended channels that are waaay smaller, but actually relate to me more. it's been refreshing to see so much more diversity in my recommendations, to say the least. it's a lot, lol.

[@adventurewithbernie]

@@salinalee2613 Thank you Salina. I totally agree with you 💯 Put some bacon, cheese and onion on the hotdog though, and it's nearly fine dining. I love my work and because of it, I get to experience some amazing locations! Which in turn, provides me with wonderful subject matter. I am happy with the way YT is going for me, and I have incredible video diaries to enjoy now and in the future.

[@povfsl]

Everyone’s experience is different on KZbin. And a majority of this advice is based on personal experiences. If you watch these ‘how to’ videos on YT, you’ll see that almost everyone agrees that a good thumbnail is a must for views. Sam Sulek would disagree. Always remember that at the end of the day, these ‘how to’ video creators are doing these for their own benefit. They need the views for their own accounts. If you think that these KZbinrs are worried about how others will grow on YT, then you need to shift your perspective and get in term with reality.

[@wingwatchersaviation]

There is a common thread among the videos. 1. Stay consistent 2. Use shorts but don't over use them because it will split your audience 3. Quality content. 4. Good title 5. Good thumbnail This is what I got after watching HOURS of this type of video.

[@LivingAlaska]

Dont worry about SEO. Your viewers need to feel rewarded by your efforts in content creation. They are buying your products with their time. The viewers doesnt give handouts. And will feel cheated or robbed if you to take their time and offer no value.

[@LivingAlaska]

Just something to try, record you event, then make a script and re record the story with a script, then add the original footage as B-roll and re record the scripted event to add clarity to the original event. Your not cheating, it juat need back story to build context to the climax, if the viewer feel rewarded they will engage. For example you responded to this creators video, gave him your time and he got paid from youtube adds. But you personally felt value from his creattion and engaged on his video. The Algorithm juat tracks this engagement and helps this creators statitics. 🎥🎬

[@ShemoKam_3D]

@LivingAlaska thank you. But I think SEO help to deliver your video to the right audience especially to small channels like myself. For example, one of my most popular videos on tiktok got a boost of views because I was talking about first day of summer in the caption and everyone was searching it that day 😅

[@travelwithroland2]

I have decided the KZbin algorithm is ridiculous. The reality I have spent so much time working on my videos but it has somehow got it wrong. I have done a comparison between FB and YT. My videos do about 15-20 times better on FB than on YT. People clearly find my videos interesting. My last two videos on YT have less then 100 views and yet FB has given them thousands and climbing over the last two weeks. My Facebook account was started 1 month ago properly. Before then it had 30-40 people on it. Now it has 5k friends but my videos over the last two weeks have had around 20k views. When I compare that between 120 views for the same video… I am sick of this!!

[@TubeBuddy]

I mean the entire ecosystem is entirely different. it’s not usual for creators to have better success in other platforms. The shareability alone is different, sharing a KZbin video is not as easy as quickly sharing a Facebook video back to your feed. The audience is also different. Is a lot of different things that have to play in the success or failure on different platforms. are you on any other platforms? How are those performing?

[@travelwithroland2]

@@TubeBuddy I have spent thousands of hours understanding KZbin… my videos have gone really well until the last 5-6 videos where it is like being shadow banned… and seriously I put the same videos on FB and it explodes! Why, when it is so hard to monetise (I am) and you work so hard to understand your audience etc… but the Ai changed and my videos went down! Previously I was at least slowly progressing in an upward trend. I am a vlogger… both FB and YT do well with this content. My content is similar to some very famous Vloggers and yet Facebook treats me well and YT treats me like a dog over the last few videos! This is NOT about the differences. I have literally only started my FB journey and yet it is exploding on FB. The work you do on FB pays off 10-15 times that of YT! Why beat myself over the head? YT needs to get its act together. It is destroying creators like me. Have a look at my latest video… it has been out for 9 hours and has done less than 13 views! The same video has done close to 25 times that on FB and the only reason it is only 25 times that is I put out two videos on one day on FB… the other video has done 3.6k and climbing steadily competing with the other video of mine!

[@DiamondFoodReview]

@@travelwithroland2Somewhat same here. May my vids took off. Subscribers went up to 40, and then in June YT pulled the plug. Everything went down to almost zero. I was on FB and followers were going way up with no problems. But here on YT I gained 4 new subscribers the past two days. Then the past two hours YT removed them so back down they put me. They suppress small channels.

[@travelwithroland2]

@@DiamondFoodReview people keep saying make better videos!!! Well… anyone who watches mine says that they really are good. They don’t fit the fast tap tap tap of Mr Beast. They are a more relaxed feel.. gentle like you want a true vlogg of Philippine islands to be. You want to see beauty and interesting places with interesting drone angles and storytelling. I had a very famous vlogger who gets millions of views a month look at my videos, comment on them, tell me he likes my videos, and then he used some of my ideas because he like them so much! That is the standard- that someone likes my videos that they comment and use the ideas on mapping. I love that vlogger even more for doing that! So the videos are good. I know that… so KZbin needs to get the algorithm right for smaller channels or growing channels. Because Facebook has got it right!!

I used to use tags and videos sort of got views.

[@DivasKnees]

Are you talking about hashtags or keywords?

[@lotrfanhome]

I picked up a lot more subscribers with better thumbnail designs, but my improved channel layout design was also a big part of that, too. The banner, the logo, and the thumbnails are coordinated with each other so that my own videos are instantly recognizable as belonging to my channel and not confused with anyone else's, aiming for brand name recognition (like a grocery store product) and delivering the quality in the package. In a grocery store, I look first and read second, like a Campbell's Soup can that never gets confused with anyone else's brand, but I read the label (title) second for the specific soup that I want to eat or avoid. Finding enough people who want to eat "soup" regularly enough to subscribe is the challenge when there's a whole grocery store of video variety to choose from, and my only specialty and interest is in making "soup".

[@fhgmobilegaming]

Just set the tags to the channel content niche and let it roll, I use the 300-400 first characters for the "set key" tags and the last 3-5 I do myself based on what the video specifically contains.

[@thebibleunplugged]

You nailed it bro. The title and thumbnail is it! Been doing videos on my channel but none ever crossed 200 views until I released a video that just crossed 16.5K views and added over 180 subs within week! I was totally blown away! You absolutely right

Our unique perspective, and passion are what will set you apart and attract the right audience. Don't compare yourself to the big ones, compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Celebrate your small wins, and know that every view, like, and comment is a victory. Remember why you started this journey in the first place. You have a message to share, a story to tell, or a talent to showcase. Keep pushing forward, even when it feels like no one is watching. Keep creating, promoting, and engaging. Your hard work will pay off, and your audience will find you. Best of luck on our KZbin journey.

Welcome to the community 🎉👌🏾

[@LaurelPapworth]

Don’t think of folksonomic keywords as separate datasets, try seeing them as connected assets. For example, if semantic cluster (groups of keywords) reflect the AI generated transcript, the trust (part of EAT) is higher. In plain English, tags = what you are talking about. Google publishes the model cards and research papers on their feed & search AI. Worth a read?

[@TubeBuddy]

I don't understand even if I search the exact title of my video it won't show up under my youtube search. Though it is public. What should I do? I have done everything that needed to be done

I see a lot of tags on this video. I thought this was a no no to use that many tags. Am I right about this?
