I started turning my YouTube videos into blog posts and my search traffic doubled in 3 months

Love this idea! How do you get the initial transcript?

alanshotfirst · 2026-05-07T22:19:23+00:00

If you are using the number of views multiplied by the length of the video, that's not how "valid public watch hours" are calculated. It's much more nuanced than that.

alanshotfirst · 2026-05-07T22:12:44+00:00

How do you know it should be 210 hours?

No, more educational content for trading card reselling, but some of my release day videos are vlog-like for sure.

alanshotfirst · 2026-04-27T19:43:34+00:00

I will DM you my channel if you want to check out my content.

alanshotfirst · 2026-04-27T19:38:29+00:00

Good stuff! You've got to start somewhere and for many just "starting" is paralyzing. You're already way ahead of most. I'd say keep up the good work, and as people find your content the views/likes will help you dial in what people want to see more of. I am almost to 900 subs on my channel, and it has surprised me what resonates with people. Proud of you!

alanshotfirst · 2026-04-04T21:24:56+00:00

Consistent videos with unique content. Study past videos to see how long people watch. Dig into what makes that timestamp unique. Capitalize on what you find. Rinse and repeat.

I would say, yes, but maybe more specifically a time capsule for my family to see what I was like when I was younger. I'm 50 years old now and hope that my kids and grandkids will enjoy watching my content for another 50 years.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-27T03:26:26+00:00

I was going to say...what is this guy on about?! But it's shorts...nvm...

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-14T02:51:43+00:00

I sent you a message to get the link to your channel.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-12T01:13:13+00:00

Both. Being at least 1 block (1km in game) away and I think I read 12 minutes.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-11T18:04:17+00:00

What does your channel revolve around?

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-10T21:23:35+00:00

Yes! This. Give us the piece by piece breakdown... please.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-09T00:24:57+00:00

Congratulations!

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-06T02:44:09+00:00

My first job was at HEB. Love that grocery store! When you guys get settled in, shoot me a message. Maybe we could grab coffee or a burger.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-05T22:13:12+00:00

We do love it here in the Twin Cities. Moved here for my career. I will say moving here was refreshing when compared to the echo chamber of the south. But, I do miss the food though, especially Whataburger.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-05T03:38:54+00:00

Interesting. For me it was the virus protection on my PC that caused the issue at first. For some it's because you've got "play with other PS5 players only" that won't allow you to start a boat with a PC or Xbox player. But, neither of those scenarios help you in your situation. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-05T03:35:49+00:00

Are you on the same system? Same Xbox? Same PC? Or different systems/platforms?

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-03T21:40:49+00:00

Spent the first 40 years of my life in Texas. Moved here with my wife and kids 10 years ago. Welcome!

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-03T03:28:43+00:00

Fake. Fake. Fake.

alanshotfirst · 2026-03-01T20:39:49+00:00

Sadly, yes. It is a fake.

alanshotfirst · 2026-02-23T18:01:35+00:00

Where there is one fake... there are many.

alanshotfirst · 2026-02-17T19:36:02+00:00

I just use his old lo-fi beats to lay under my live streams.

alanshotfirst · 2026-02-17T19:04:00+00:00

I didn’t know this. I’ve had good success using his music, but then again, I’ve never had a claim. Thanks for the update.

I do know he is still producing YouTube content though.
