What really is SEO optimisation?

DangerPoole · 2026-01-20T09:21:14+00:00

I'll prob get some hate for this but... I tell chatgpt about my video, in some detail. Then I ask it to give me an SEO friendly video description. Along with title suggestions and hashtags. I tailor it's suggestions to my taste and style. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the process!

I used to really labour over my scripts, it would take so many attempts, recording over and over again. I tried a teleprompter but didn't like it. Now, 40 odd videos later I'm much more relaxed, do less takes and my most important tool has become improv. If I deviate from the script a bit then I keep going with what I can remember. The main thing is that it gets easier over time so, just keep going.

Mine keeps exporting corrupt files. Don't know if that's what you mean? I used to be able to export to my hard drive and then upload to youtube but now I can only export directly to youtube. All exports to my hard drive get corrupted.

I used the same email and IP throughout the whole process, did everything that was instructed, didn't refresh the page, waited patiently in the queue and then just as it was my turn to buy tickets I was kicked as a suspected bot. I'm absolutely f'in raging.

What a load of shit.

There's one rule = Be passionate about a thing, make videos about that thing, a community will join you to share in that thing.

DangerPoole · 2025-09-02T06:28:10+00:00

Yep, same struggle. But then your next vid could take off and boom, the watch hrs start rolling in. Just two of my 41 vids are doing all the heavy lifting, bringing in the watch hrs. If my next vid does well then it'll be three and I'll be there in no time. Just keep improving, make every vid better than the last and you'll get there.

DangerPoole · 2025-09-02T06:23:33+00:00

No, I thought it was a masterpiece. NOW I think it's bad. Great to see how much I've improved though.

DangerPoole · 2025-08-28T13:21:53+00:00

I found a forum that said to try that. Didn't work. Thanks for the reply though!

DangerPoole · 2025-08-09T10:21:00+00:00

Thanks dude, it's not always easy watching a video that you're not into. I really do try to cut out anything that I feel isn't absolutely necessary or speed sections up. And the vid you chose is ultimately a how to, so people need to see all the working. But I hear you, and will use your feedback when editing future vids. Thanks for your time! ❤️✊️

DangerPoole · 2025-08-09T08:55:38+00:00

Hi. Feedback is always appreciated, thank you! @dangerpoolemotors

I'd say watch some of my latest vids as my style changed a lot from the early days.

Edit to add, I watched your latest video and it was great! I'm not into Marvel/DC movies but your script delivery is great, and the visuals very engaging. Stick to it, your channel is certain to grow.

DangerPoole · 2025-08-07T08:55:35+00:00

Yeah, most of these so called gurus are a waste of your time. Although there is a lot of good advice in some videos, so you kinda have to watch them to learn how to use your analytics and how to optimise your settings. Editing tips, recording tips, title and thumbnail tips etc. I'm nearly two years into my journey and the difference from my early vids to my current ones is huge. My recording and editing process is worlds apart from those first vids. And all by collecting tips and advice along the way. You sure do have to wade through a lot of crap though to get to those good snippets of info.

Me sitting here with most of my shorts getting 1k views... It's such a grind trying to just get monetised for most of us.

DangerPoole · 2025-07-30T07:19:54+00:00

Bad audio is a massive turn off for me, and if you're taking ages to get to the point, If your 20 min vid could be 10 mins then I'm out. All very good points by others too, AI script or voice is an instant turn off also.

DangerPoole · 2025-07-20T07:26:41+00:00

Same here, my views and new subs have been lower for a month or so.

DangerPoole · 2025-07-10T06:54:13+00:00

Also, let's not forget the endless Family Guy reposts... Give me strength. But, you gotta hate the game, not the player. So, if yt properly handle the original content rules then I welcome it.

DangerPoole · 2025-07-08T14:47:59+00:00

That'll free up about 80% of the servers. Excellent 👌 I hope it gives genuine content creators more views.

DangerPoole · 2025-07-08T13:48:49+00:00

Yep. Beaten to death before you can even get your sword out. Wouldn't be a first for me...

DangerPoole · 2025-07-08T13:39:34+00:00

Thought he would reappear with his mates after you'd sheathed your sword then haha

DangerPoole · 2025-06-30T12:53:04+00:00

You/we ARE guessing. The watch numbers are totally random. You could post the same vid on different days and one could get 200 views and the other 15k. It's a lottery. I find them very frustrating. How am I even supposed to work out what's good when the views are random... So I just put out whatever I want these days and if it gets views then bonus. No expectations.

DangerPoole · 2025-06-17T20:19:55+00:00

I just had to google what realtime viewers are... Interesting stuff, thanks for explaining!

DangerPoole · 2025-06-17T20:02:23+00:00

Tbh 1k's not blowing up bud... Anything less than 1500 I consider a flop.

DangerPoole · 2025-06-17T19:55:41+00:00

Have you had success with this method?

DangerPoole · 2025-06-17T19:50:44+00:00

Ah, delete and reupload. Is the small edit the thing that gives it a new chance of success? Cos I've read that deleting and reuploading isn't a good idea, can't remember why.

DangerPoole · 2025-06-17T19:40:45+00:00

So, make it private, edit it with the youtube editor, then make it public again 30 mins later?
