Some days I wake up and I see that a YT video I’ve published has got 6 views

It might as well be zero

Or at least it feels like that

Lots of time, energy, and startup capital going into my podcast, and you get traction like that

Fuck

So depressing

But then I realise: it’s not YT that is the problem, it’s me…

My content just isn’t good enough

This is the market talking back to me

Figure it out

Find a way

Hone your craft

Never give up

Onwards friends!

Ps - I put way more time into Nostr personally, and I can feel everyday it improving as an experience, with all the feedback I get from the notes I publish (it’s still small scale, but I believe very high signal)

Here’s my two sats:

I know nothing about Youtube SEO. But I do know that SEO is VERY important when you are trying to get views. No matter if it’s Youtube, Google, Facebook, or whatever. So, I am not sure that “the problem” is the actual content.

For example, you look like a normal human being in your Youtube video thumbnails. Vast majority of the successful Youtubers look totally retarded. Take a look at the Ivan on Tech Youtube channel thumbnails:

https://www.youtube.com/@IvanOnTech/streams

In every thumbnail Ivan looks like somebody just inserted a candle into his rectum. Without his permission. When it comes to thumbnails and Youtube SEO, I think this tactic clearly works.

I am not saying that you should copy his thumbnail tactic. Perhaps you simply don’t want to look like that. Or perhaps you want to choose a platform that, unlike Youtube, does not reward madness like that.

Thanks so much for sharing. I’d been considering the crazy faced thumbnails, but it doesn’t fell right. It’s like click bait central, which is what YT is tbh

So it’s a fine line between holding to your own interests but also wanting to see more traction

It’s likely that thebiggiesy thing is tk just keep going for a long time, and the audicne compounds over time

I’ll have a play around with it
