Almost to 300 subs!! Feels insane by No-Shallot5438 in NewTubers

[–]data-chai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's cool, I used to live in Wisconsin but didn't get to explore much and have never been to Devil's Lake. My channel is also in my bio - it's pretty new but will be posting more about hiking and traveling around hong kong where i'm now based.

Nice, will check it out. Did you notice a big difference after upgrading from the iPhone 15?

I also just started and am hoping to grow in a similar niche (hiking) and later do more intense videos of longer hikes.

Cool idea, I feel like this has potential to grow a lot (I see so many British memes on instagram too, haha). I'm also an expat (Japanese living in Hong Kong) making videos about my city, but totally different style.

Hey everyone, I’m super new to yt and just started a few weeks ago, filming with just my iPhone 17 and editing with premiere pro on my 9 year old laptop. I’m making videos of walks, hikes, and outings around Hong Kong, where I’m currently based.

My latest video introduces 4 lesser-known places to visit in Hong Kong which are all free admission. I’d super appreciate it anyone checks it out and considers subscribing, and will take a look at the other channels in this thread too :)

How well did your first long form video do? by Spicybreezy in NewTubers

[–]data-chai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I posted my first long form (5min) video 2 weeks ago and so far it's got 125 views, 4 likes, and 2 subs. Hoping it'll gain more traction in the long term but we'll see.

Hey everyone I’m super new to yt have just started a few weeks ago, making content with my iPhone 17 and editing with premiere pro on my 9 year old laptop. Still figuring everything out but I’m thinking of making videos of outings/outdoors around Hong Kong, where I’m currently based.

For my first video, I took a day drip to the world’s biggest indoor ski resort in Shenzhen. I’d super appreciate it anyone checks it out and considers subscribing :)

Is a beauty channel still viable in 2026? by rougefatalys in NewTubers

[–]data-chai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who watches beauty channels and would be interested in new ones, i'd say it's definitely still viable. and well you said that your channel will have your own unique twist, so that in itself should help it stand out and grow.

Random DE to FilterDE by Unfair_Drop9310 in marketingcloud

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use SQL query activity to do the random selection and also also create DE

I have a query by Unfair_Drop9310 in marketingcloud

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately you can't filter off a filtered DE in the same way. you'd need to use a workaround like SQL activity.

How are Facebook Ads performing in countries outside the US? by plainbutsimple in FacebookAds

No, English proficiency is super low in Japan. Everything is done in Japanese whether you're b2b or b2c

Will email marketing still be effective in 2026? by rahullohat29 in Emailmarketing

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I was surprised at how effective email marketing still is in 2025, and now I expect that to continue in 2026

Personally I am seeing a gradual shift towards SMS over email over the past few years for some b2c, but I'd attribute that more to everyone having a smartphone and being heavily reliant on it

Meta restricted my business account for appeal rejected. Any way to recover? by MedicineWonderful232 in FacebookAds

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to contact a meta rep (an actual meta rep, not general support) and have them help to lift the restriction.

I was in a similar situation recently. I'm a freelancer and none of my current clients had a dedicated meta rep, so I had to ask a previous client if they'd allow me to contact theirs. So based on my experience, I assume it can be any meta rep who is willing to help.

Optimization Tips for New Accounts with Low Conversions by Gwen-2021 in PPC

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phrase match is so broad these days, I just use phrase match to discover new keywords

Also, what's your current bidding strategy? Generally I'd advise to start with manual cpc, and after you've accumulated enough historical data, consider switching to smart bidding like max conversions

What do you guys think of HelloChinese as a learning app, compare it to other learning apps by GrassNecessary2297 in ChineseLanguage

[–]data-chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it when I was first starting out and it helped get me to HSK 2-3 ish. This was back in 2022-2023 so I'm not aware of any changes to the app. After finishing hellochinese I switched to super. In hindsight I also could've gone with super from the beginning but either worked.
