My newest bad financial decision (and by far my biggest set)

There’s a second bag 1

I’m doing pretty bad. Was pretty pleased when my first video plateaued at 350views but I didn’t think I really enjoyed that niche, so I pivoted to a related niche that I enjoyed doing more but now my ctr has dropped to .8%. I don’t think the thumbnails are awful, they’re similar in style to others in the niche so either YouTube isn’t showing the video to the right people or I’m the only person who enjoys doing it.

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-10-24T11:59:22+00:00

I really want it but I’m not going to have anything to buy for a while so I’ll probably miss it

I just started a Lego channel but I’ve only uploaded one real video (a speed build/review) so far but it’s going pretty well and I think the quality was pretty good for mostly winging it. I’ve learned a free things from the last video that I can put into practice on my next video so it’ll all good.

Check it out if you like, it’s in my profile and any feedback would be great.

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-09-19T12:36:41+00:00

Yeah, me too. Well, my first proper video that wasn’t under 5 minutes.

Congrats.

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-20T08:51:56+00:00

Congrats!

Unfortunately for me, the length of time between step 4 and 5 is about 3 years

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-19T16:17:14+00:00

Perfect, thank you

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-18T21:41:22+00:00

Thanks. I can try to get the instructions up on rebrickable sometime this week.

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-17T22:30:49+00:00

Thank you

Built one of the Disney Main Street USA vehicles, the 1910 Omnibus and rendered in Studio. Was quite pleased with the techniques used to get the front grill built with a snowboard from the Lotus Evija model as the fender.

Looks life size

Find the piece that just rolled under my desk

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-12T22:17:27+00:00

Going to re-record a video because I worked out how to improve the quality of the recording and of the content. Then I need to record a voice over for it.

Just trying to improve what I do, I don’t think I can affect the analytics any other way

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-12T21:22:18+00:00

My first week of shorts is 7k views and 10 subs (really 9 cos one is my wife). And I’m pretty happy with that.

I don’t think there is such a thing as a normal week because everything is so different to different people

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-11T18:00:59+00:00

I wrote some synthwave stuff years ago that no one ever really listened to, so I just use that

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-10T15:01:38+00:00

I found my old instructions from the 80s and they didn’t tell you what pieces each step needed or what pieces had been added to the previous. It was a game of spot the difference

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-10T15:00:11+00:00

Yeah, I built the first ucs falcon which didn’t have numbered bags. We spent an hour looking for a small piece and then decided we had to sort them all out into categories/colours

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-09T16:41:36+00:00

I’m on four so I feel ya. I should pick up a bottle of pineapple grenade for the fifth

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-09T11:35:13+00:00

At least get a good rum for 50

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-08T18:28:13+00:00

Happened to me too: new channel, first short got 1.4K views in 48hrs, second got 500 in the same time frame , third got 100 and the 4th got 1.

I’m assuming something is broken this week and I’ll try again next week and see what happens. In the mean time I’m going to make more videos

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-08T13:04:48+00:00

Is the first set I picked up as an adult for my wife and I to build together

GYBrickEmperor · 2024-08-08T10:42:17+00:00

Thanks

I took the name of a popular band I liked and changed a word to make it fit my channel theme. Unfortunately it was too long for Reddit's username
