I want to upload Football Videos because it's always trending and have good rpm but then, I know if I upload raw footage of football videos from clubs or TV channels, Definitely get Copyright Strike. But I saw some people uploads football videos by editing raw footage by shuffling camera angles and get monetized. Now my question is, How to avoid copyright stike...? How much long should be the camera angle per clip ..? Particularly, Wide Tv screen angle and Celebration clip and slow motion clips. Apart from these anything should I add in editing.? Can anyone please help me in details..?
I'm editing on capcut so far.. I know it's starting to be exclusive to pro members. But now that I'm getting used to edits.. I feel ready to look into adding more sound selection (music to match the scenes tense, suspense, happy etc.) And i also am feeling ready to start to take my thumbnails to a higher notch. I learned I should take Pictures during my day I am out and shooting a video. So I will do that I own a gopro 9.. but I feel a smartphone can do a better job of a thumbnail Pic. What software can I use to edit thumbnails, and where can I look into sounds... besides epidemic
Finally starting to make a buck off of some of my gaming content and was curious what a fair amount to pay some of my friends for the videos is? Specifically the friends who are in almost every video.
Just for perspective, I currently do all the work associated with the channel including editing, social media management, etc. But nonetheless I would still like to consider giving the people who have helped, a portion once it becomes more financially stable.
What sounds fair?
I want to have “laugh my ass off” on a thumbnail, will that prevent ads from playing?
I want to have a youtube channel but i dont want to be running any ads on them, will youtube shadow ban me ? is there any example of successful channels without ads. please tell me your thoughts
If you get enough views, you’re gonna attract some dickheads. You deal with enough dickheads, and you pick up some strategies. Thought I’d share two of mine.
Firstly, do not engage. That almost never works. The mature thing to do is to use the “hide user” feature. This is great because it hides them from you and your other viewers, but they’re none-the-wiser- so rather than get angry about being blocked, they just keep shouting into the void until they get bored.
However, my favorite strategy lately is to pin their comment. The more unhinged and baseless their dickheadedness is, the better this works.
It shows them that you’re not hurt by their words, and are too good to stoop to their level. The best part is that it brings them lots of attention from other viewers who typically do the work for you and tear them a new one while you sit in the shadows and watch gleefully.
Unless you really do suck, in which case they’ll just pile on… tread that line carefully!
I recently reached partner status with full ad monetization. What do I do now?
I apart of the gaming niche. I was able to reach partner by leveraging YouTube shorts and averaging 60 viewers on YouTube live while peaking at more than 210 on most streams. I’m looking forward to now finding my audience with long form content as well. I have plenty of ideas of the route I want to take to get there and I’m confident in it. But the thought of failure still stresses and makes me anxious like any normal content creator. Is this what I should do? I’m confident I can take advantage of all 3 of these parts of YouTube but I’m not sure my ideas will work.
I would love to have a connection with other gaming content creators to pitch ideas back and forth. I feel like that can help us make the best content for our audiences. But I’ve out grown all my companions and everyone else doesn’t seem hungry enough for success like I am. Any ideas on how to meet other creators?
If you were me, how much would you charge for placing a sponsor logo from the gambling industry on each short-form video I upload? Just the logo, no mention or discussion of it.
Channel description: Shorts channel with 250,000 subscribers. I upload 30–40 videos per month. They usually get several thousand views, though from time to time some uploads go a bit viral, reaching several hundred thousand or even millions of views. The average number of views per month is 17 million, but the range is quite large, with the lowest month at 2 million views and the highest at 50 million.
Hello, I am curious if it would make sense to have both a Patreon and YouTube Membership offering? I added in Patreon and have a few "Supporters" but feel it may make things more difficult for subscribers to join. I love the convenience of what YouTube memberships, but there are options and tools on the Patreon platform that I feel makes it easier to engage my audience. Thanks for any suggestions. I really appreciate it. I just don't know if offering both would seem like I was trying to cheat anyone, because that definitely would not be the intent.
I’m a monetized YouTuber thinking about changing my channel's "country of residence." Has anyone done this? I’m curious about how it affected your monetization and audience reach.
Is anyone noticing a huge drop in their RPM recently ? It’s insane…
Hi all,
I have a channel that reviews nostalgic media from Nickelodeon and Disney channel. I go through the entire plot adding commentary, jokes, and at the end of the plot giving a formal review.
My videos usually get blocked but when I file a dispute they’re always released so far. But I’ve stuck to tv movies and tv special episodes.
I finally covered the rugrats movie and the dispute was rejected and it’s blocked on all of YouTube. I’m terrified to appeal the dispute and get a copyright strike which i heard will take me out of the algorithm. However there’s multiple videos online in my style that use the rugrats movie. So I’m not sure what to do.
Should I appeal the dispute or just take this video as a loss?
Honestly I don't know why I'm still subscribed to this subreddit, there are good posts here from time to time with useful information, but there is also a ton of garbage and most of it is the same idiotic questions over and over.
Maybe we need to pin an FAQ and change the subreddit rules so that you need to read it before asking any questions.
So, I was just looking at my analytics earlier and saw that a lot of my traffic comes from search, because people search for T13 videos. (Action figures) But I noticed that hundreds of people actually search my channel by name! Hundreds of people like my content enough to search for me by my channel name to watch more videos! This really gave me a burst of joy, knowing that I have loyal fans who come back and watch multiple videos. My channel isn't huge, only 18.7K subscribers. But I didn't ever think for a second that I had very much authority or influence in my niche, but I'm slowly realizing I do! Also, I just remembered another story similar to this. I posted on my videos in a subreddit, and someone commented on it saying "Hey you're the dad's fight creator" (the video was about 2 dads fighting) "I loved that video so much, I shared it with all my friends!" Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, you may be more successful or popular than you think. Don't doubt yourself, you're good at what you do, no one can replace you. Keep up the hard work!
So I have been reading and following all the posts here, and have noticed that people talk about having low views since October or even for months. I have a small channel and post shorts daily (once a day). For a while, I was getting 5000 to 10k views on my shorts. Starting November 5, I struggle to hit even 600. I haven't changed anything. I don't have any strikes, no spam, none of that. I have a couple of old shorts with over 1m views and those are getting views daily but new shorts are not being pushed out. Is it because of 3min shorts, election, anything like that?
I've been reading about memberships, the pros and cons of doing memberships etc. What's your guys's opinion on whether you should enable them? I'm just a small channel currently with barely over 1,000 subscribers.
One of my videos was copyright striked by someone just being vindictive. I've since filed a counter notification and waiting on the status of that. It was a false copyright strike so I know the claimant can't do anything and Youtube will hopefully restore the content soon.
That aside, it was a preview of something bigger. If I cut out the copyright striked part of it, can I just reupload it without that part that the claimant is pretending is copyright infringement?
Hey everybody,
I've been uploading original music content and tutorials on YT for a while now, and feel re-energised after commiting to a weekly upload routine - numbers are up and I'm on my way to (eventual) partnership! Any advice on how to speed up the progress? Watch hours are at 275~ for the past 28 days and subs are at 80+ for the same period?
Hi, my channel, which I founded 1 year ago, has almost 130k subscribers as of today and continues to increase gradually. I earn an average annual income of over 200k and I think things need to move to a larger size now. This means working with video editors to grow my channel count. Has anyone followed a similar path like me before? Is there anything I should be aware of regarding the growth process? How much budget should I allocate to video editors for an average 20-30 minute video? I realize that the situation I am talking about appeals to a small group of people, but I wanted to write here in the hope that maybe there will be guidance. Thanks for the answers in advance!
my partner has youtube premium and told me theres an experimental feature to have AI summarize your video. i am extremely opposed to AI and i really do not want my writing being fed to an AI, or would at least like to minimize it.
is there a way to opt out of this/ disabled it?
For some reason youtube shadowbanned me and none of my comments are showing up. I haven't commented anything bad so I'm just confused. Anyone have an explanation?
What is the minimum required in order to say something like "I'd like to thank today's sponsor" in your video?
For example, would you say this if you ONLY received a FREE product and affiliate discount code for the collab? Or would you say it ONLY if you ALSO received some kind of additional compensation?
As an aside, it is my understanding you must check the "Paid Promotion" checkbox "If you accepted anything of value from a third party to make your video." That would include the case where you received an item for free and was asked to review or feature it in your video.
I'm not asking when the Paid Promotion checkbox needs to be checked. I'm asking circumstances when it is appropriate to say something like "I'd like to thank today's sponsor."
Thank you for your helpful comment and also your patience.
So I was doing well as a smalltuber, getting 3k+ views on almost every video. One video ended up getting 8k very quickly, but after that everything died on my channel.
Latest two videos: Latest got 0 views in 5 hours so far The previous got 79 views in like 8-9 days.
Niche: automobile
Whats going on?
Hello guys, on eof the things that got me through covid times was discovering these Australians adventure channels - B2B, Field Days, Nick Fry ect and also some others international like MAV.
I always fished and love comping my entire life and was keen on trying something different, on my free time ( Im work in the media production business).
Is there any people around here that is monoteized in these niche that could give me some inside info or anything relevant?
I have the cameras, have the locations, the spirit. And my idea was to start by filming and editing like 10 videos so I can publish them in a good time frame, perhaps with traveling with a 4x4 around
Thank you
I run an educational test prep Youtube Channel for an exam that runs from January to September as part of my business. This is our first full year posting consistently to Youtube. I saw a direct and immediate drop after the last exam date of 2024. While we've been consistent in posting after that dropoff, our views are down and new videos we post are continuing to perform poorly.
This is expected, as students are rarely studying during this time of year as intensely as when the tests are actively running (and admittedly, I get a lot of views from students binge-watching before their tests).
It's also important to note that adsense channel revenue is negligible compared to the revenue we get from selling live courses, where Youtube is one of our primary top of funnel channels.
My question is, is it harming or helping to continue to post during our down season, or is the impact negligible?
Some channels will seemingly make videos on very random topics but still get the clicks. How does that work? example:- degenerocity, jawbreaker juice, etc
The latest video of mine is on "How to Live in the Present Moment" and I am sharing my 4 practices which help me stay present and happy. The channel is " Live Your Best Life" @anjanamohanwijetilekk . Could you check out and share your feedback please ..
I'm in the Personal Finance space and know of a similar channel that does the same videos and has the same amount of subscribers (around 1k) as I do.
Although I notice her videos within the first 12 hours usually has 100 - 150 views and reach up to 1,000 to 1,500 views near its peak in 3 days.
Mine usually only has 0 - 25 in the first 12 hours, but also reach up around 1,000 to 1,500 views near its peak in 3 days.
This is very consistent. Does this mean her subscribers/core audience are more loyal than mine (as-in they're more likely to watch hers)? Or is it more likely they have a higher concentration of usual watchers during their upload time than I do? If I look at the chart when I my audience usually watch they mostly just watch between 9am - 12pm Mon - Sun.
