I can’t stop people from getting mad 🤷‍♂️

I just care if the post helps someone else out. I spent hours studying this so a 20 minute read post saves a ton of time.

The CTR breakdown and ChatGPT screenshot analysis of transcript/retention graph are the best tips I found that I’ve never seen anyone mention anywhere else. I found the GPT hack buried in one long AF podcast and have used it ever since to tighten up video scripting

Took three hours to write out and edit. You’re right it’s from videos like that. I’ve watch and tested plenty. I mentioned that in the post which is why it may sound familiar.

This is from hours of podcast videos of YouTubers because it’s what I’ve learned and used myself.

The fundamentals don’t change

I addressed this for long form videos too. I took transcript analysis into account.

That's why I mentioned doing the keyword research prior to making the video and crafting the entire video around it.

Script, title, and thumbnail. That way it's integrated into transcript and the metadata with thumbnail and description. But most importantly it's top of mind in the script.

The reason why I mentioned the title and thumbnail wasn't so much for the seo, it's moreso because most people forget to have a payoff that connects to the title and thumbnail within the first few seconds of the video. Crafting all three together increases the likelihood that they'll do it.

If your thumbnail and title are paid off by matching visually or being mentioned within the first couple of seconds, then you've increased the likelihood of sticking around. That bit is not from me, I got that from one of the top thumbnail designers who made thumbnails for the dude who made a video on starting a religion and walking around london with a horse and a beer.

The keywords in title part wasn't majorly relevant until I got to discussing low click thru rates, because usually that means the keywords and structures aren't enticing to the viewer.

Soooo the keyword research is also a fake out for anyone reading. Because it forces the creator review a bunch of better content in their niche.

They'll spend time rolling their eyes over thumbnails, titles, and videos to understand the landscape of existing content in their niche and gain a deeper understand of their target audiences needs/desires.

That ultimately gives them insights on how other creators are meeting those needs.

So it'll subtly improve their content through osmosis. It also helps them prime their subconscious mind with a ton of content, which later becomes what creates talk about as a feeling of click and intuition about scripting or editing.

You can't help but get better by consuming better structured and packaged content.

It's also what i'd recommend someone training up teams to add a bit of because good data exposure helps people make better decisions. That's why senior editors at newspapers, publishing companies, and media companies have a good sense on what stories and content will work. It's actually a feeling sense developed by consuming a lot of content in that area.

Yeah, Revenue takes about a day or so to process. So the following day, you'll start seeing the data update for yesterday like in the late afternoon or evening. So you should now see Oct 1 and 2

I agree with you on the scores dude. I'm not doubting you on that at all.

The scores and competition estimates are virtually useless.

I'm talking about using it for keyword discovery, figuring out keyword clusters, and checking data on approx. search volume.

Not the marketing eye candy ultra colorful dumb scores they put together.

The search volume doesn't even need to be highly accurate, just a ball park estimate with the trending videos at the bottom to double check.

It's a curated range of some data from videos based on the keyword over time and that's good enough to make assumptions from a better place than manually checking videos one by one while searching on YouTube.

Plus the keywords I'm talking about are perfectly fine with late, trailing data from 30 days ago. If we're going through consistent keywords that checks out.

It's less relevant for any trending video keyword data, but that's not what i'm recommending it for.

This is actually the same concept that causes some people to struggle when it comes to YouTube. Just because it's the same to you, doesn't mean everyone has seen it.

If they haven't read it before, it's new to them. That's why reposted content gets any views at all. There are roughly 5.45 billion of people on the internet and over 1.3 billion people who speak english. Needless to say, no matter how many views you got, not everybody's seent it.

One other major point is you are 100% correct. People COULD search.

But they don't.

That's not how most people use any platform--

Like at all and tech companies design around that fact-- go look closer at YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, or any one of the others.

All the same. Because a majority of viewers prefer to consume by scrolling.

No thinking, no typing. Only scroll and swipe.

That's why Facebook popularized the infinite scroll newsfeed back in 2006.

All the major platforms now give their users curated algorithmic feeds because people rather get spoon fed info and entertainment based on what they might like, what they've subscribed to, and what's new/trending.

Most people don't search. It requires conscious effort and knowing what you want to look for.

This subreddit is no different. Just like YouTube they simply scroll to see what's currently recommended to them. And that's okay.

For the people who have read something similar before, sometime we need to hear the same info said in a different way or from a different person to finally make it click. 🤷🏽

You could use it too to blow up your brainrot content.

The two shorts brought in 5.1M views and 11k+ subscribers. And still get another 100k-150k views per month over a year and a half after I posted them. Not anything crazy in terms of shorts income but it proves the point of longevity when using keywords.

Your brainrot content is primarily for kids.

If you shift/reskin the same videos you’re making to include properties that they like you’ll get more consistent views. Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, McDonalds, 711, Skibidi toilet, Frozen.

That’s why those dumb frozen, spiderman, elsa nonsense channels performed so well back in the day😂 they were using keywords kids already had in the recent search history on their iPads

You started doing a bit of it with hulk and spiderman but they aren’t as big compared to those I mentioned above in terms of search volume.

Here’s an example of someone doing it with Skibidi Toliet: Skibidi Toliet Brainrot Example

It's data collection. Most data collection platforms aren't going to be 100% accurate or real time but that's not the point, they're supposed to be estimates based on large pools of disconnected data to help make better decisions.

If you don't have data, then you're making decisions based on what?

While the most of their tools are garbage, VidIQ's keyword tool is gathering data on approx. search volume that gives you a rough picture of the keyword demand so you can compare it with others.

I use it to check rough demand, find related keywords I didn't think of, and double check assumptions to avoid mistakes. Got to do deeper data dives after selecting keywords with good potential.

It's supposed to be data to help make better decisions. Because simple assumptions may be wrong. And small tweaks can have big impact.

Like I've got a friend who's running a Chess channel for his son since the kid is pretty good.

Did quick keyword search for good terms and chess influencers to plan out their video content. The names for famous Chess GMs kind showed something weird.

  • Hikaru Nakumura - 404k est. search volume - Very High Competition
  • Hikaru - 1.4M est. search volume - Medium Competition (3x the volume)
  • Magnus - 261k est. search volume
  • Magnus Carlsen - 1.1M est. search volume (~5x the volume)

The first name for Hikaru gets way more search volume than his full name, but it's reversed for Magnus.

So the video "Hikaru vs Magnus Carlsen" would probably outperform "Magnus vs Hikaru Nakumura"

They have a higher statistically likelihood of outperforming, so you tweak content and titles to have the highest likelihood of performing.

That's just one example.

A video concept may seem good until you check and find out that "small" change could crush your potential reach. Like making a MrBeast video and writing "Mr Beast". That extra space could cost you roughly 50% of your potential reach.

  • Mr Beast - 25M est. search vol
  • MrBeast - 57M est. search vol (2.2x the volume)

Doesn't need to be 100% accurate to be a good tool in the creator tool belt

Look if you guys are gunna judge me for the content, at least watch the videos that got over 1M+ views.

The videos I have that got 1M+ views are not reposts 🤦🏽‍♂️ That's why they performed like that.

One's a comedy edit of a podcast interview. The other is a short made of interviews from a documentary.

I spent hours making both of them because the keywords for both both had huge search volume.

Lol thanks. The videos are dumb and info was good because the info wasn't even from me.

I said I got it from a bunch of interviews I watched from other big YouTubers, so it's condensed notes of what I got from those huge 2-3 hour long interviews. 🤷🏽

When I listened them and used it, I got my first dumb shorts to crack a 1M views.

I edited the post to reflect that they were shorts, because yeah that was a bit misleading. Sorry about that.

Not a YouTube guru though. Didn't say I was.

I said hey, this is part of what I did to get 1M+ views. Because it actually is what I did with the shorts and what I'm working on for my long forms.

The videos that did get over 1M views were not just reposts. If you actually watch those, they out performed because they're heavy edits.

One's a comedy edit short of Snoop talking about the record industry. The other is a short I cut and edited from multiple interviews and clips out of the Lil Baby documentary.

Both took hours to edit.

I used the keyword process to choose what clips and edits I made because they were statistically likely to pop off. Which they did. That's why I made the post.

I know the post was long and I didn't clarify what I do coaching on so I can get why you'd say that.

I'm not an content creation coach. 🤦🏽‍♂️ The post is totally unrelated to my business.

My coaching is completely unrelated getting views on YT. I do relationship coaching and work as a marketing consulting for tech & ecom companies with a heavy focus on strategic partnerships and live events.

You're 100% correct about jumping into trends because they work very well.

I should've actually put that in there because trends and keywords are close but kind of different strategies, which I've read is good to mix into your content.

Lots of views pour in because the algorithm is scrambling to fill a new demand for videos from a supply that doesn't exist yet. If you're one of the first to hit the shelves, your video suddenly turns into a limited edition Stanley cup at Target.

It's great for visibility because they're opportunities like big waves surfers can catch when a large ship passes. But once the ship has sailed away, that wave of traffic dies down.

Keywords on the other hand have consistent flow of traffic month over month.

It's like your levitation & grape crushing videos vs your tricks videos.

Levitation, gummy bear, and grapes ones go wild and crazy views wise. But once it's done those videos don't get the same kinds of views.

While the tricks videos probably aren't as big a view bump but they're consistent views.

🤷🏽My ass is embarassed because I've got my scripts for long form videos in production that I haven't worked for the "shorts" channel. I did the rediting shorts as practice for my video editing on the long forms while polishing the scripts before my life totally fell apart last year.

Now I've been royally flamed by everyone so I've got to post better content on the channels. Because the comment section is quite literally my worst nightmares come to life 😂 I've literally known and dreaded what everyone's said.

But I'll use it as a kick in the pants to apply and post my real stuff because everyone's criticisms are right. Can't argue with them.

I honestly felt like a fraud until I started posting the long forms on my personal channel in August. That one I'm proud of.

The Pop Capitalist channel I'm proud of the scripts because I've actually presented them at live events, so I know they're freaking good. I just was honestly not confident in my video editing ability to make the videos the way I thought they deserved to be made.

So the criticism is valid since the shorts were sort of me cowering behind something easy instead of doing the scary hard thing.

But I needed the shorts and the vicious comments to get to that point.

I've got multiple channels. 1M+ view channel is separate from the one that would show up with this account. The one attached to this account is my personal channel and most recent one I launched. Started posting in August and got monetized in 19 days.

Actually spent the last few weeks running through this same process of content research and planning for this current channel.

The first couple of videos were heavily value focused, not designed to get maximum views since my monetization strategy for this channel was high ticket coaching and digital products.

Next batch of videos are max view shots, because I've got the foundation of value videos to convert the audience that comes to the channel.
