It seems to help get more views quickly

Alright, so this morning we're talking to promote or not promote your listing. So yesterday I did analog, shmanalog, talking about different ways to first hit that 4,000 mark. Well, first you gotta get to 3,000 and then you gotta get to 4,000. So, I was saying how yesterday i just do a lots of videos and i've learned that vertical live streaming and or open live streaming helps a lot so the other thing i learned yesterday actually or a couple days ago is to promote listings and i'm also working on my podcast. So what I'm trying to do, or which I've been trying to do, is there's a list of stuff here. Let me show you that list. I'm trying to fulfill all this list here, this list right here.

So videos, I have like 6,000 videos. Shorts, I've got thousands of shorts. Live streams, I do them every day again the key is a vertical on your phone but i also do them as a uh webcam above so you get to see the whole view of my workbench posts what you i i do those those when you post to your or your subscribers playlist i'm now on that because i i've fulfilled my podcast And now I have a podcast. Although I just started it. So I'm going to make some kind of a podcast where it's just voice only.

Different from my other videos. But right now I'm just copying, taking the voice out of the... Which I learned yesterday how to take audio out of a video and just make an audio for a podcast for now but we'll get to it all right so then the last one so i'm trying to fill so along the way here since i started doing this about a year or so not even a year really took me about a year but really technically six months of having voice on my videos because originally my first thousand videos there was no voice i was just showing stuff as i was doing it until i was ready to to upgrade to a voice and then i had to upgrade all my sound stuff and some lighting

so along the way here when i started this videos I got again I have uh thousands of videos because I'm doing stuff every day so I just do videos anyway so that was I decided that and short same thing with shorts shorts are different than the videos it's not a shorter version of the video it's a quick short uh 60 seconds I still don't know where you can do three minutes i don't quite figure that out i don't know how that i'd like to do a three minute shorts but i've not cut that far all right so then we're going to live alive i mix it up again you can see when i have here this pod podcast is now ago it's in the vertical and it's through the phone by far the most views you'll get during anything is on a phone vertical like that and then up top here the first one here i do the webcam

above uh pan out view so today we're going to talk about or for a little bit promotions to promote or not promote so this is the last one so we went through posts those are all the posts i do you take the video um if you go back to dashboard here if you take your video down below here i also got a little store open i got my cartoon characters I'm working on French Fry Freddy and Zombed Hot News all kinds of characters I've got my inspirational gaming style t-shirts

but unfortunately AI spells my graphics wrong but it's there so I got that so I got shopping on here so i'm trying to fill all the gaps of whatever you can do here on uh youtube so the post suppose you go down here and then what you do is you go to community post here all right and then you would pick a new video

and then just kind of give it to show it to all your your subs here so then you go to video here i'll add one right now so you can see how to post so i was doing my podcast here so we'll do hold on let's find one so so you just basically you're re you're resending out your we'll do a lenovo my thinkpad so lenovo so we'll add lenovo there and then we'll we'll i'll just put uh i never had one my first my first one i just do some quick title. I don't know. Whatever works. So now what this does. The post here. Will send it to all of your subs.

So there I'm at 198. I jumped up significantly. For my subs. Just in the last day. Because of promotions. That we're going to talk about in a minute all right and so i have 6.8k videos now this is the other thing that i subscribed to well i haven't i'm still in the trial period it's called uh it gives you stats and stuff pretty cool iq but i don't know if it necessarily helps change anything uh although like i said my subs

went up significantly so that's how you do it that's how you do um a post all right so i do lots of posts too so that's check let's go back to you so i I'm at $19.74. I've actually cleared the $12 mark now. I'm at $12.54. So down here. It says top videos. And this top video. Hyperkin. I did a post.

I mean not a post. I did a promotion on this. And I only did it for like. I think I did it for $30. And it jumped up. So 702 is is the nearest one i did a little post on that one but this one really really goes up so sometimes you're going to invest a few bucks into it so let's go back to the post again here oh so you go to content i mean promotion so now we're all the way down the end here again we've done video shorts check all those are tons of stuff

playlist i'm quite understood it just comes up as my podcast under playlist so i can put stuff there maybe some sort of sound i haven't quite gotten to that yet So my podcast check I learned how to add the RSS feed Did all that yesterday Took me a while Learned how to convert videos to audio So I can add them to that I have an RSS.com account Where I post my podcast there

And then they come to here So last thing we're working on promotions so i did one one of these a long time ago and i forgot about it so let's go to so the first one i did here way back when if you look here um for like 40 bucks and i ended up getting uh 53 000 views so this is kind of a way to jump the line of algorithms from algorithms is you gotta you gotta invest a few bucks so then hyperkin i only did it for 12 and then this one gave me significantly. I got 1 point, I mean 5.2K views,

which was significant compared to what I normally get. And then I just did, I added an algorithm shmalgorithm. I got one that's disapproved. I wonder why that is. Audience gross. So that one got disapproved maybe because that's a live stream. Huh.

To continue election advertisement in the, is election advertisement in that? Huh. So I guess I can't do that one. I was going to say I promoted something yesterday, but it didn't go through. So I guess they can get disapproved. I don't know

what election advertisement in the United States. I wonder what I had that was actually an election advertisement. See, that's the thing you got to watch out for when you're doing stuff. Sometimes you don't pay attention. Like I think the background, my screen uh the tv in the background might have showed something that i didn't realize and then and somehow it's saying it's election advertisement huh so we're just

talking about promotions and i already found some way that you can not promote so that one didn't go through so we'll have to try a different one so but we'll do one now actually so i'll make another one new promotion so video views we'll do video views again i don't know how this but i would assume this is a way to again jump the line website visits drive you to your website I'm not doing that yet although I am adding a Shopify to the store and I'm gonna bring some stuff over from eBay to Shopify store and here but I haven't got that far yeah also we'll just do video views right and then we'll go uh so then i select uh i'll do my my lenovo here i just plan to have fun with that yesterday so we'll do that one

and then we'll go to next and then you put it in it It gives you different places. Targeting. I guess you can add more targets. Advanced targeting. What's advanced targeting? So I'm just learning new ways to kind of jump the line on the algorithms. Shroud algorithms. I just like to make fun of it. It's funny. The word algorithm is funny.

So this is looking like here. It's saying like $200 budget. Now, I can't afford that. So I just throw like five bucks in there. So this is like here it's saying like $200 budget. Now I can't afford that. So I just threw like $5 in there. So we'll do $5. And it says it'll give to maybe a thousand more views for $5.

But the other one it got significantly more. So let's see. We're not going to do that today. We'll just do it for a couple days to the 19th here promotions with budgets of at least 100 out to do better performance but i'm only doing a few bucks because it seemed to get me somewhere all right so we'll promote that one we'll just try that

cost 80 cents. Oh wait. Maybe I already did it already. Oh crap. I think I already had it up here. So let's not do that one. I didn't realize I had it twice. So.

This gave me 150 views. We did it as audience audience growth so the point i'm trying to make really here is just throw a few bucks i'm gonna try to promote something don't go crazy with it and then if you don't want to do it anymore you just go like the algorithm algorithm i think i knocked it down. You can go back to it. You can edit it. And then you can just change the date to make an end. Say it's $5.00. Ending on the 18th. You spent $3.00. I have $1.89 remaining. Again, if you have a lot of money

and you can throw huge amounts of money up here then it would go up significantly right see this analysis for some reason I didn't realize I did that one twice I don't think I can end it once you put it on you can't really end it that I'm aware of.

So I'm slowly working on ways to, as we all try to do here, get more views, get more subs. I have a lot of content. So I've been spending a lot of time in the last few days coming up with new ideas. So for some reason I hit that twice. Maybe I'll get lots of views on that one. So you pick a good video

and then you... I don't know why that this one I got advertisement for it. Issue. Bummer. So yeah. So this is where I've gone way up to 1975. Which is cool. I was way down. I remember when I first started

I only had 23 people. And I was doing no sound. So I've come a long way. We've got a long way to go. But we're getting there. So that's just a little ideas. Again again you want to uh do all these all you're gonna hit all these in some way or another i think

if you're a small guy like me with just you know one man little videos kind of makeshift not really i don't have a big budget or anything so if you just do lots of videos and kind of clean up make them look a little bit better and and then do some other stuff over here promote some of your better videos that you have it significantly helps all right so that's what we're going to say we'll get leave it at that. I'll throw this up as a podcast too. So you want to do the video, shorts, live, posts,

playlists, podcasts, and promotions. So we were talking promotions today. Even if you throw a few bucks just to get it up there, it kind of seems like it jumps the line for analog,

for the, for the, so that seems like that helps jump the line a little bit so that's what I suggest it's early morning it's 5 o'clock that's where I'm at today I got some other stuff to do

I always have things to do for videos so we'll get some stuff up later on today
