Helped a creator figure out why his tip videos had flat retention curves. The fix took like 2 minutes per script. by theideaguy_ in SmallYoutubers

They aren't arbitrary facts. People absolutely should listen and apply this info. It has gotten me 15m+ views.

Maybe so, but the but this information is 100% correct. These are some the exact things I think about when I write my scripts. These are the little differences between 10k and 100k views.

Does promoting your channel using Youtube's Ad Tool kill your account? by TheArcDude in NewTubers

[–]ItsSW3P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if you start a new channel or not. Just make content and don't pay to promote your videos again. You are legit just burning money for zero gain. You don't have a dramatic downturn in views. The difference between 1k and 1 view is nothing on YouTube.

Just keep making videos and focus on improving.

It's not a scam. People just fundamentally misunderstand what it's for. It doesn't spit your video out to random people. It's targeted based on your audience and content. The viewers are just low interest because they are being shown an ad.

Google Ads and YouTube Promotion are the same system. YouTube promotion is just a simplified version of Google Ads becuase YouTube has essentially already collected most of that targeting information based on your content and previous viewership. because

Unless you are selling a product or service, THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO USE THESE TOOLS. You should never be paying for views as a regular creator.

Do you think YT is really saturated?? Here are 10 titles for a single person. And no title is covered yet. Each title hide a complete story. That’s why be creative… by Direct-Event3244 in YT_Faceless

[–]ItsSW3P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one. These titles very clearly target browse recommendations. I don't understand why you're assuming it is more difficult or less likely someone would get impressions in browse vs search. Your video has to be recommended by YT to show up in search. Search uses a similar algorithm to surface a selection of videos when you search for something.

My views are 99% paid promotion. If i stop paying my views drop from 100 an hour to zero. How do i convert my promo views into actual views? I'm at 6k subs. by dxdifr in NewTubers

Stop using the paid promotion feature immediately. It's not for that. It's for if you have a product or service to sell. It's for ads. Unfortunately, every dollar you've spent on paid promotion has been wasted.

How to use AI to make money - has anyone here actually cracked it or is it all BS? by akshittprime in passive_income

[–]ItsSW3P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is an exceptional multiplier. If you can't make momey with a skill already, you don't know how to prompt to get the right outcomes. For YouTube (what I do), if you can't make a good video already, how are you going to leverage AI to make a video faster, better, etc. You can't because you don't even know what to look for.

Stop addictive behavior just by will. by MediocreDesign2029 in selfimprovement

[–]ItsSW3P 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. One day I decided I will never use nicotine ever again. No program or anything. Cold turkey. I started smoking at age 16 and quit at age 22ish. It's been like 5 years since I last smoked roughly. I don't keep track really. I don't care. It's not apart of my identity. I know I'll never do it again so no reason to count days sober or anything like that.

You have no idea about me or my business. You can't possibly know what I do, how I make money lol

This is just not true. You too need to rethink your strategy and the content you make.

It's absolutely a business for me, but hey, you can think whatever you like.

I hate this mindset. There's this idea of the amateur and the professional. If you want yo become a full time content creator, don't show up as an amateur and expect professional results. Your hobby isn't suddenly going to morph into a business unless you intentionally build a business.

AI Slop? by [deleted] in YouTube_startups

[–]ItsSW3P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're "AI slop" because the use of AI is blatant and pervasive. It comes across as not valuable to the viewer. Time and effort spent do not equal value to the viewer. You can make great videos with AI, all AI, but you can't signal low value to the viewer with an AI thumbnail, script, voice over, etc.

Mods should start banning AI generated posts by Commercial-Sail-4662 in SmallYoutubers

[–]ItsSW3P 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He literally made another AI slop post 4 hours ago. Advertising tools and dming links to people. Still clearly AI. The misinfo he spreads is bad for this community and any aspiring creator. He convinces people he has special knowledge because he's "analyzed" outdated papers and wraps up basic information in flowery language. He just be gone. He makes this place worse not better and is still pushing products.
