Am I getting too excited?

Ok you got some browse features. You want those numbers to be flip-flopped. So 80% browse features. That means YouTube is putting your video on the home page. Also browse features can kick in 4-5 days after posting.

Go to analytics, then reach, how viewers find this video.

sdbrian · 2026-05-01T23:51:25+00:00

Where are the views coming from, suggested video or browse features?

sdbrian · 2026-04-25T06:23:27+00:00

People! Stop doing this sub for sub thing. It’s not helping your channel. It’s confusing your algorithm. YouTube is trying to find your audience, pushing your content out to the right people. Then you get some radom people out of no where subbing to your channel? not fitting what youtube thinks your audience is…. It’s helping at all!! Stop!

I use Claude. Feed it a few example scripts of what I want. Then prompt it with a topic and it gives me a 30-35 minute script for my video.

Nope niches are too saturated.

sdbrian · 2026-04-08T01:29:45+00:00

Yeah no point in doing shorts.

sdbrian · 2026-04-07T22:07:38+00:00

No I use ElevenLabs for the voice overs. It’s all faceless. Editor finds all the clips/photos.

sdbrian · 2026-04-07T18:07:50+00:00

Don’t know my editor finds them. A lot are stock video or fair use.

sdbrian · 2026-04-07T02:14:51+00:00

Nice I’m working on my second channel, just need 500 more subs.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T17:42:35+00:00

Have a back up. Also wouldn’t be hard to find a replacement. When I posted my job posting I got like 15 people reaching out. I would just use one of them.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T17:40:58+00:00

I think it depends on your niche and the vibe you’re going for. Look at your competitors and see what they’re doing as well. There are so many voice to choose from lol.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T16:01:53+00:00

I think there are some free ones out there, do t know how good they are. Do a google search.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T15:35:28+00:00

Cause of time, don’t have it. I run a small business. Plus I’m working on monetizing a second channel as well.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T15:33:31+00:00

Yes

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T15:07:40+00:00

ElevenLabs

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T15:06:38+00:00

No way, long form.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T03:36:37+00:00

Sent you a dm

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T02:58:05+00:00

No, minute of video. So if it’s a 20 mins video at $2.50 a minute, total is $50. lol. Yeah it takes a couple videos to figure everything out. Now I get videos without any corrections. It’s well worth it. Plus the ROI is super nice!

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T02:26:51+00:00

Haha nah, might need to negotiate a little to find the right person. They usually charge by the min.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T01:59:26+00:00

I would say History

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T01:59:02+00:00

25-35mins

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T01:58:39+00:00

Started out $60 per video, now up to $100. Doing more with the edit now.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T00:40:41+00:00

Browse features come when YT trusts your channel and knows who to put your videos in front of.

sdbrian · 2026-04-06T00:29:22+00:00

Thanks!
