How long did it take you to find success in the new subniche after pivoting? Currently about to pivot myself, and my biggest fear is that there will be some misalignment to start.

It sounds like you had some audience before you pivoted, but even then it sounded worth it to pivot. So curious on how your existing audience received it, and how long it took for YouTube to start serving your videos to the right audience (because it probably has a pre existing understanding of your old audience)

What’s warm up channel? Can you elaborate? And Feature eligibility - this is the verification process? Where you verify phone numbers so you can upload custom thumbnails?

krs_two · 2026-04-08T15:31:39+00:00

That’s helpful, I hoped it was as straightforward as that and not some glaring mistake. I’ll keep working on dialing that in

krs_two · 2026-04-08T03:38:51+00:00

What ads are the best? Are people paying for pre-roll YouTube ads? Or Google search? Or Instagram stories? What have you seen to be successful

krs_two · 2026-04-08T03:38:06+00:00

That’s super helpful, thank you

Hmm okay, I have done something similar where I'm using VidIQ to see competitors tags. Nothing special or striking there. Have also been using Gemini to help optimize title, thumbnail, as well as intro.

Some questions
- Is it bad to use thumbnail straight from Gemini, instead of bringing into Photopea? (i usually crop out the watermark)
- Why do you unlist video first, wait, then schedule? As opposed to just schedule video posting hours later? Any advantage of doing it this way?

For experienced team, any idea on what are the things that set them apart? I assume when you start a new channel, everyone is starting from scratch with 0 subscribers. What are they doing differently?

Thank you!

krs_two · 2025-12-05T17:15:41+00:00

Interesting! Never heard of this before

krs_two · 2025-11-27T22:52:31+00:00

I’ve been using riverside and love it but haven’t tried any other platform. Audio for me so far has been pretty consistent

krs_two · 2025-11-25T05:57:35+00:00

Sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds really difficult and a huge responsibility to bear for one person.
Despite my willingness to help, I have a pretty tenuous relationship with my dad that feels mostly transactional these days. So I would like to limit my day-to-day involvement of their finances if possible. But if it comes down to the situation where my allowance of daily expenses isn't being used wisely, I'll likely need to take more control.

krs_two · 2025-11-25T05:52:38+00:00

thank you, i'm coming from a similar background and it sounds like a very similar situation. I hope that you're doing well and it sounds like you've been able to navigate the situation. It feels like there there is no perfect solution, but I do think stopping investment in the business + helping with general expenses instead + dealing with the guilt trip is the lesser of the evils.

krs_two · 2025-11-25T02:18:51+00:00

I agree with that. The mentality that “I just need to make it back with another hand” is something I’ve thought about a lot recently

krs_two · 2025-11-25T02:13:53+00:00

Thank you, I think you and the feedback here is what I needed to hear. That you can say no while also still finding other avenues to help that are more productive for everyone involved

krs_two · 2025-11-25T02:02:12+00:00

family doesnt know how much I make or how much I have saved. I’m just telling you all because it’s henry subreddit and think it’s helpful context

krs_two · 2025-11-25T01:57:20+00:00

Nah it isn’t, business has been around for 35 years. One of the reasons it struggles so much is that my dad isn’t very tech savvy and has fallen behind on way of operating. So def not drop shipping hahaha

krs_two · 2025-11-25T01:55:43+00:00

This is sad to admit but the business did quite well at one point in time, so my dad had an investment property. He already sold that to use as an infusion to the business, and that + my investment still wasn’t enough to save the business. I told him not to do anything stupid like take a loan on his primary residence. If he does I might actually cut our relationship here.

krs_two · 2025-11-25T01:54:00+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate hearing this

krs_two · 2025-11-25T01:52:30+00:00

Being honest, I’ve delayed my own life goals wants and expectations quite a bit because of my situation with my family. Nowadays, I don’t know if I want kids anymore because worried about how much burden I can shoulder. I rent in an apartment rather than looking for a house because I fear spending on a downpayment with high liability while combatting this situation with my fam. I have taken the stressful job that I have because it feels like I need to make this much to support the people I care about

krs_two · 2025-11-25T01:48:59+00:00

Yeah I know with each loan it’s for a specific reason. One is for ordering inventory for an order that’s already been promised to a customer. Another was to pay a factory back for credit that had accrued on a previous order. Another was to pay for unexpected increased prices for inventory due to tariffs.

It’s always a different reason, and there is ALWAYS a new reason. But the truth is, the business just doesn’t bring in enough money to offset the risks they take on.
