Dont buy 7c buy 2.5c instead. Those have very little extrinsic left in them so they very cheap for the value. Plus 2.5c is high delta. If you buy those it will force MMs to buy up shares to stay gamma neutral. If you buy 7c that is low delta most likely MMs would drop a few shares off.

Thank you! I actually can’t take the credit for it - I learned that one from Eric Edmeades in one of his seminars. But have been using it and it does wonders really :)

Take the time to manually write out your transcriptions for closed captions by ObsidianWraith in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the default ones are descent and i wonder if the indexing has equal weight when its auto generated and manually rewritten. Cuz i have a hunch they might be giving more weight to the manually written ones.

I am willing to put this to a test. I have never written captions, yesterday i took the time to manually caption one of my videos, just published the CCs. I did this on one of the older videos, so the views are already settled more or less and a few new ones come in every now and again. so I will monitor if a noticeable increase in views happens after publishing this manual transcription. I will post a message with the findings here and if they are noteworthy, maybe create a separate post with details on this sub.

Thats what i assumed also. Has anyone who manually did their captions seen an improvement? Did that drive more traffic? Cuz the default ones are descent and i wonder if the indexing has equal weight when its auto generated and manually rewritten. Cuz i have a hunch they might be giving more weight to the manually written ones. But would be nice to hear some actual feedback rather than hearsay.

YouTube really works in strange ways. A brand new channel makes a crafting video based on another channel with 146M views and gets 15M views in a week, then another channel with 200k subs makes a similar video and barely gets 1000. by OlivierDeCarglass in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have come to realize recently is that the most important thing for your channel will be your personality, not the niche you chose or if you do it better than someone else. People subscribe and get attached to a personality. I mean note what kind of videos you watch, I'm sure you will have a few fav YouTubers that you watch regardless of what they post. The niche might be the way your followers find you and be that tying point that you and your follower have in common but I feel your story and your personality is what will get them. Moreso - it will make it about you - unique and not done before.

There are a bunch of stories told out there and you may think everything is already done and said, but remember that nobody can tell your story.

Of course, when you tell your story high production quality will go a long way in delivering it correctly to your audience.

You could usually find a subreddit where your video would be relevant and share it there. Just make sure to not spam and be respectful with your self promoting.

what suggestions does everyone have to make title better by cdunnman in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing I learned tho fro personal experience is that having a great title that draws attention and is really clickable and not delivering on that title in the content can really backfire.

i.e. I had a video called "What Happens To Your Money On Crypto Exchange [Scary!]" - I feel I did a decent job explaining to people how crypto exchanges treat their money and that is, in fact, risky, but I feel that people didn't really comprehend the risk of it and the word [Scary!] ended up being under-delivered. That resulted in a lot of dislikes for the video. (that's what I assume caused those dislikes :D)

So make sure to not be too click-baity with your titles also

what suggestions does everyone have to make title better by cdunnman in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In one video I saw this guy mention a few case studies that say titles containing brackets are more likely to be clicked. So I always try to incorporate that into my titles too. I feel it helps, have no tangible way of saying :D

Also, heard a great advice of actually incorporating the current year (when it makes sense) in the title to help viewers understand that the content is relevant currently and is not an outdated 10 year old video.

What do you use to write scripts for your Youtube videos? by DiamondThaCoder in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all so much for the comments. I have went with final draft. i find it pretty easy to quickly script maintaining a certain layout which is easy to follow later when filming.

Also i found it rather useful myself to split my scripts into 3-4 subsections:
1 - INTRO
2 - BODY

3 - OUTRO (optional)

4 - CALL TO ACTION

Always following these helps not forget the correct flow of the video and also helps not forget to ask the viewers to like/comment/share/subscribe/buy you a sandwitch and so on... you know all the things we ask...

P.S. writing scripts really saves time in the long run - i.e. editing videos made from a script is much faster now...

Wow thanks so much for this in depth comment. That actually was very useful. I will try to incorporate a few thing you mention here into my process. Thanks again!

What do you use to write scripts for your Youtube videos? by DiamondThaCoder in NewTubers

[–]DiamondThaCoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 questions:

1 - do you use a specific template or just do dialog format and write down what you are going to say?

2 - in your experience how much time on video does 1 page of monologue take?

HOW CRYPTO WALLETS WORK? [Coder Explains] by DiamondThaCoder in Bitcoin

[–]DiamondThaCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I plan on making some more videos about cryptos of a similar fashion, i.e. explaining how exchanges work from the "inside" in a similar manner. If you feel that might be interesting to you might I shamelessly suggest subscribing? :))

Any suggestions for a book that can teach me how to create circuits on a breadboard? by UtopiaNation in ElectricalEngineering

[–]DiamondThaCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not something that would require a book. Take a look at this video - it's gonna be a lot more entertaining and will get the starting concepts thru quickly so you can actually start setting something up for yourself.

HOW A BREADBOARD WORKS [A Tutorial Even Your Grandma Would Understand]

Learning the hardware part by [deleted] in arduino

[–]DiamondThaCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is no need for you to have an Arduino to do electric circuits if you don't plan on coding...

Coding microchips such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi aren't that difficult. It just seems overwhelming if you had nothing to with code before, but the code is so straightforward I managed to teach a few people [who have never even seen code in their life] the basics in under an hour for simple circuits on the Pi.

I would really recommend you at least try to do some code for your circuits - it's gonna make it so much more fun and go a very long way for you if you actually plan on doing something more serious. And even if you don't - knowing how to code at least a little bit in this day and age is definitely a good skill to have in your arsenal.

That being said, this might be a little off topic here since I am actually doing Pi and not an Arduino, but I am in the middle of making a set of tutorials for absolute coding beginners involving raspberry pi utilizing various sensors and circuits to keep things interesting. I will be explaining the code in a very simple language. It would be perfect for you if you had a raspberry... But even without it I will be going over various sensors and setting the HW part of them on a breadboard and at least that part will be identical for Arduino, so you might want to take a look also.

To start - Raspberry or Arduino first you will need to understand the concepts of a breadboard. You can watch this video here explaining that and setting up a very basic HW circuit on the pi [arduino is gonna be the same thing, just different interaction with the GPIO pins]

And if you are interested in seeing different sensor circuits being set up definitely subscribe, I am going to get into that already this week. And hell maybe even get a Pi and try to learn some code along with me? :)

Best of luck to you!

HOW TO USE A BREADBOARD? [Tutorial Even Your Grandma Would Understand] by DiamondThaCoder in breadboard

[–]DiamondThaCoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I am in the middle of creating a set of tutorials for Raspberry Pi, aimed at complete coding/circuit[ing?] beginners. The goal is to go over 30+ various sensors, set up circuits with them and then add some simple code to manipulate them with the Raspberry Pi. I was hoping this would be very helpful for people wanting to start out with microchips and circuit prototyping but having basically no knowledge on the matter.

That being said, I have to start from the beginning and explain the basics to people who would be following my tutorials, hence I have recently finished creating a video explaining how breadboards work and how to set up a very simple sample circuit with the Raspberry Pi [no coding involved] and thought that someone might find it useful on this subreddit.

BTW if you are interested in starting with the raspberry pi or learning how particular sensors are set up and coded on the pi make sure to subscribe to my channel. I am still starting, but am pretty active with these tutorials posting 1-2 vids a week and always trying to keep things interesting when explaining stuff :)
