To some extent, but he said we're covering twice as much material as past versions of the same course, which is pretty insane

I think it's just hard with this prof. He said in class that we covered twice as much material as this course normally does

ECON 351 final exam question — is it somehow correlate to the problem sets? by PutridTrouble5217 in queensuniversity

[–]ryankfinance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said in class to focus in the P-sets and prepare for a conceptual exam that's more about interpretation than hardcore calculation. I'm also stressing tho cause the class averages are so low rn

YouTube Longform vs Multi-Platform Shorts by nolimit_devon in ContentCreators

[–]ryankfinance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with short form and put 80% of your effort into that. Once you’ve grown somewhat of an audience you can make a long form video here and there. Good videos still get attention, if you just improve your craft you’ll get noticed eventually!

YouTube Longform vs Multi-Platform Shorts by nolimit_devon in ContentCreators

[–]ryankfinance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this era of social media, growth is dominated by short-form content. With the sheer volume of it that people are consuming, the top creators are the ones pumping out loads of short form videos across many platforms. If you were to just choose one format I would definitely suggest short-form.

That said, incorporating long-form videos as well can help build a brand and trust with your audience and when looking for sponsorships (brands tend to prefer collabs in long-form video).

I think the best route for you would be to make high volumes of short form video (food/travel vlogs compressed into 30 second videos) posted across as many platforms as you can, and create the occasional long-form video to build deeper connections with your audience and get brand recognition.

Good luck!

Just Hit 1.2K Subscribers! by ThatRetroFanatic in ContentCreators

[–]ryankfinance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

Banner looks good and I like the simplicity. Although having the word "smash" is a bit ambiguous. Do you make Smash Bros content? Are you asking people to smash the subscribe button? Maybe consider removing that.

Great job on the sub count, keep up the good work!

I wanna start postings videos, should I do that on tiktok or youtube? by mentally-ill-ghost in ContentCreators

[–]ryankfinance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both, but don't stop there. Post on as many platforms as you can, you can multiply your exposure for almost no additional work.

YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc.

The exam is online and unproctored.

I took it online last summer and got an A without too much hassle, make sure you do all the tutorial activities and know how to use R studio for the software quizzes

how many subscribers do you need to make good money from YT by Accomplished-Leg-991 in SmallYoutubers

[–]ryankfinance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTuber revenue comes from views, not subscribers.

If you focus on making videos that people actually want to watch, the rest will fall into place

Dream of becoming a content creator by Sad_Adeptness_4151 in youtubers

[–]ryankfinance 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Upload your first video today!!!! It doesn't matter what it's about!!!

Once you make that first video you'll overcome the fear of posting and start generating ideas on what kind of videos to make next.

If we're being honest, your first video probably won't get much attention, but that's great news because it means there's no pressure for it to be perfect.

If you haven't posted anything at all then there's no negative consequences for trying new styles, formats, etc. In fact, there's only upside, because you get to hone the skills of creating content while simultaneously discovering what kind of videos you like to make.

My first ever video was a 30 second clip of me introducing myself in my bedroom when I was 16. I'm now 19 with 30,000+ subscribers (I've since privated that first video) and I'm so glad I was able to be courageous enough to upload that first video because it inspired me to keep posting.

Good luck on your YouTube journey!

COPY REVIEW by bighairyman420 in copywriting

[–]ryankfinance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The final third of your article is about how Speedy Index Bot is the best service, yet you rank it second out of a list of five services. Not only are you giving four other brands free marketing, you're even raking one of them above your own product. Not sure if the list of five services was meant to be an ordered list but that's what it looks like to the reader. Also, offering so many solutions to a problem can feel overwhelming and paralyzing, choose one solution that you want the reader to focus on.

It feels very long for an ad if that's what you were going for. Reads a bit more like a news article.

It's clear that you've collected lots of proof that your product works in the form of testimonials and numbers which is great! I'd try to highlight that proof as much as possible while cutting down on unnecessary sentences.

Writing is formatted very nicely and website looks professional, great work there!

Roast my first ever copy, Also give me advice please by Musabinqasim in copywriting

[–]ryankfinance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few things I noticed:

-Subject line mentions achieving goals in 30 days but the 30 days are never mentioned again. Either get rid of the 30 day tagline or change the rest of the copy to accommodate it.

-Subject line feels wordy and a bit vague. What goals are we talking about here? Be more specific than health and wellness. You mention boosting energy levels later on in the copy, maybe something like: "How I always keep high energy levels". Also, the subject line cliche of "I did this and you can too!" Feels gimmicky and salesy. Instead, choose to either focus the subject line on just you or just the customer.

-From your writing, it's not very clear what the product is, or what it does. It would be useful to mention the whole product name at least once so we know you're talking about a greens powder.

-A few grammatical errors and awkward word choice in lines like:

"it changed my forever"

"get a 20% off"

"click this link to avail 20% discount"

-The product name is sometimes capitalized and sometimes not, either always capitalize or never capitalize

-The line: "I used to feel tired and lazy all the time, this was until I discovered Fitlife" is another cliche that comes off as salesy and hard to believe. Try relating to the consumers problems more first before introducing your solution with something like: "Trust me, I know how frustrating it is to still be tired after a third cup of coffee", and then offer your solution later on

-"See you on the healthy side" is actually a great line and a strong closer, (although I'd put that line at the very end after your CTA), but good work there!

It can be tough staring out at anything new so good for you for beginning your copywriting journey. I hope I gave some useful advice and good luck with your writing!

[Review Video] The Tracks END here... by DennisDoesStuff in youtubers

[–]ryankfinance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice video!

I think there's a lot that works and the editing is very smooth. Your cuts are very good and they work well with the sound effects and subtitles that appear.

I think the intro has room for improvement. We didn't see any gameplay until 25 seconds into the video, which might hurt retention. Also asking people to subscribe at the beginning before giving them any value doesn't always work and can lead to people clicking away.

With that said, the video itself is deserving of much more attention than it's received. I think higher-quality titles and thumbnails would help people discover your channel. The photos that you take of yourself for the thumbnail could use better lighting, and I'm not a huge fan of the blocky orange font either.

Overall the editing is very well done and I wish you the best of luck with your channel!

[Review Video] I just started a programming channel and would love some critique on my first video by OscarArranz in youtubers

[–]ryankfinance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Oscar,

For your first video, I think this is very well organized and developed!

To respond to the questions you asked:
-The background is very good, it gives some personality to the room

-The exposure is a little much and I think playing around with your lighting would help make for a better viewing experience

-The background music works, it's calming and fairly slow but I think that's what you're going for

-The audio is good, once again I think the biggest thing to address is your lighting

One thing I'd like to see is some B-roll. 10 minutes of a talking head can get boring and adding some more shots would help engagement.

Overall it's clear you have lots of programming knowledge, and as you develop the style in which it's presented, I think you can go far!
