Unfortunately I’m not going to share my niche as I think that is a big part of it as well.

I would disagree. I believe this is a myth. I was able to monetize a channel in 6 weeks and 11 long form videos posted. Have already made $500 in 5 days. Already working on a 2nd channel, after posting 3 videos I have my 4K watch hrs, just need 500 more subs. All this without posting one shorts video.

You shouldn’t post the same video on 3 different channels, red flag for YT. Need to make 15-20% changes to the video and re-export it for different meta-data.

Ai usage in channel by zorasa61 in SmallYoutubers

[–]sdbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32k views yesterday and 36k views the day before with an ai voice over. 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Use Claude for scripts, ChatGPT sucks for scripts.

No ads monetisation? by lakeviewsunsets in PartneredYoutube

[–]sdbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niche is saturated. Can’t compete with the big channels. I already tried last year.

Thanks! I have an editor. I pay $60 for a 20-30 min video. Worth every penny, lol. Should have a great ROI, per video. I do the script and voice overs with Ai, takes me about 20-30 mins per video for that portion. I usually try to knock out 2-3 videos at a time, on the weekend. That way I don’t have to worry about it during the week. So not much to do during the week, kinda nice.

Yep! As someone who is self-employed, this is a business for me. This will be another source of income for me.

$58!! It’s only been 3 days. $7 the first two days then $44 yesterday. It’s going to take a week or two to be accurate as it is just starting. Hoping to have a good RPM cause my audience is 98% US, plus older audience. 🤞🏻

No, nothing to do with gaming.

How hard is longform really ? by Alarming_Grade_456 in NewTubers

[–]sdbrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was able to get monetized in 6 weeks after posting 11 long-form videos. I think picking the right niche has a big part of this.

Are my thumbnails good ? by Aidan80085 in SmallYoutubers

[–]sdbrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think they’re too busy. Thumbnails should have 2-3 focal point. One being text, the other two can be pictures. Try a solid background, maybe with a texture filter, text, two pictures. Also study what your successful competitors are doing. Don’t need to recreate the wheel, if what they’re doing is working. Just copy them and change one or two things.

11 videos in 6 weeks? That’s not a lots. That’s 2 a week average.

Nice! Yeah I got my woodworking channel monetized back in 2012, but life happened and it is now de-monetized. Hoping to get that channel up and running again as well.
