@wannercashcow Just over 75% of my views are from tv. Was in the 80’s until I posted some shorts trying to push the long form videos.

Whenever YouTube pushes a new feature, they promote the sh*t out of it in their algorithm Meaning you NEED to use it immediately if you want that boost For example, they just updated thumbnail size limits from 2MB to 50MB Because TV is now YouTube's biggest traffic source and they're pushing it HARD If you have 50%+ TV viewers (check your analytics), you need to start uploading 4K thumbnails right now This is the same thing they did with community posts a few years ago. Early adopters got insane reach because YouTube was promoting the feature to prove it worked Please don't sleep on this Upgrade your thumbnail quality asap, especially if your audience is watching on TV

@robertoblake I recently watched one of your older videos where you said you were going to post a video for thirty days straight. Did you edit all of them yourself or hire it out?

Post on other platforms to do testing and benchmarking on performance to see if it’s a quality/value mismatch across the board. 50/50 performance instead of 80/20 seems to suggest that. Prioritize better hook/visual frame in the first 2-5 seconds. Highest rate of abandoning a video happens there. Quality/Value mismatch for the viewer seems to be the issue you need to address rather than posting frequency or posting time or anything like that

Was analyzing the channel of a Gamer I am working with in my new Analytics Tool (I Vibe Coded) and over 55 of his last 100 videos (shorts) hit over 100K views using the Shorts Blitz Strategy. The cool thing was being able to visualize the view distribution at a glance! May have the most comprehensive tool for channel data...

What is the stay vs swipe ratio? Is it over 80%? What’s the average length if the shorts? Are you only posting on YouTube? How do they perform on TikTok, facebook and instagram? What makes you think they are under performing? What are the numbers and what are your expectations?

I can make this direct so you really understand. Attention on your content by itself is meaningless if you don’t turn those views into an asset you can leverage. Make 100 videos a year… sell 30-50 units of that inventory to brand partners. You’ve now turned attention into assets via video inventory. That’s media buying/selling. Turn your skills/knowledge into income. Learn skill that let you earn active income by providing a service. Turn services into a system and they become a product. Use attention to promote a product or service. Own the relationship with your audience. Make content that you fully own so you can license and sell your IP. That’s what ownership, looks like. Don’t be a digital sharecropper.

Elon just dropped a MAJOR nugget on how Tesla is going to be training Optimus to do real world tasks. They are building an Optimus Academy, which is a large scale, dedicated real-world training facility to accelerate the development of Optimus. The Academy will deploy thousands of Optimus units, potentially 10,000 to 30,000 robots, in a controlled realistic environment where they perform self-play, experiment with tasks, iterate on behaviors, and continuously generate training data through trial and error. The Tesla bots will also run millions of simulations in Tesla’s high-fidelity physics-accurate engine, allowing Optimus to close the “sim-to-real gap” by using these real-world observations to refine and validate the simulations! “You’re actually highlighting an important limitation and difference from cars. We’ll soon have 10 million cars on the road. It’s hard to duplicate that massive training flywheel. For the robot, what we’re going to need to do is build a lot of robots and put them in kind of an Optimus Academy so they can do self-play in reality. We’re actually building that out. We can have at least 10,000 Optimus robots, maybe 20-30,000, that are doing self-play and testing different tasks. Tesla has quite a good reality generator, a physics-accurate reality generator, that we made for the cars. We’ll do the same thing for the robots. We actually have done that for the robots. So you have a few tens of thousands of humanoid robots doing different tasks. You can do millions of simulated robots in the simulated world. You use the tens of thousands of robots in the real world to close the simulation to reality gap. Close the sim-to-real gap.”

You probably don't have a content problem. You probably have a packaging problem. I've worked with creators who had genuinely good videos sitting at 2,000 views. Just a new title and thumbnail, and suddenly it's pushing 350,000. Here's what most creators get wrong: They think their job is to make great content. It's not. At least not that alone. Your job is to make great content that people CLICK on. YouTube doesn't reward effort. It rewards clicks and that resulting into people STAYING to watch said video. I break down the exact frameworks I use to package videos in my free weekly newsletter. Join thousands of creators getting smarter about YouTube every week: creatorunited.beehiiv.com/subscribe

If you want your long-form videos to get a lot of views, it's important to improve your retention. However, retention has so many components to it that it's easy to get lost in the massive amount of improvement points. So here are 10 additional tips to think about when creating your YouTube videos that can help you fix those minor issues you may have with retention. 1. A lot of times, when we give examples or showcase examples visually, we naturally tend to gravitate toward giving three examples. And while this seems to be a good thing, it is often redundant and leads to viewers feeling like the pacing slows down. That's the reason why we have to be very careful and tactical with how we use examples. The best advice is to respect the rule of three. Give two examples unless there's a clear reason why you're giving the third one. That clear reason could be to break the pattern and demonstrate that there's nuance, or because we want a particular strong focus on the third one. Regardless, unless you're breaking the pattern with the third example, stick to two examples and viewers will respect it a lot more. 2. Using simple language is one of the best ways to make your content widely appealing, which directly translates to better retention. Simple language means opting for simple words rather than complex words, so that more people can follow the content with ease without having to think, which increases immersion and also makes the content feel like it appeals to more people. Just because you use simple language does not mean that you're dumbing down your content. It's that you're just trying to make sure people don't feel like the content isn't for them because they don't understand certain words. 3. While voiceovers can be a great way to transition between segments or to highlight certain points of focus, it's important that the visuals shown during the voiceover match the voiceover. This way, they complement each other rather than conflict with each other. Often enough, I notice creators showing B-roll footage that does not match what’s being talked about, and this causes confusion within the audience. Confusion is one of the worst enemies of immersion, and immersion is what leads to higher retention. So match your voiceovers to the visuals that it's talking about, and you'll find that people watch for longer. 4. One of the best ways to explain something complex is by using animated explanations. These are the type of explanations where viewers are seeing the explanation in an isolated state, and that makes it easier to follow along with what's being explained. It makes the content easier to follow, prevents cognitive overload, and makes sure that what comes next is easier to understand. Viewers also tend to process visuals faster than words, so breaking things down visually makes it easier for them to interpret what you're trying to tell them. And for retention, we've noticed that there is barely any loss of engagement during animated explanations when the viewer still cares about the video. 5. Authenticity is a great way to make people like you more. However, people often assume authenticity just comes from being real and having everything real, while in reality, authenticity comes from the perceived genuineness and believability of the story that you are seeing. That being said, on YouTube, most, but not all, content benefits from some type of authenticity, but it strongly depends on what the viewer came for. For example, if the focus is comedic relief, then authenticity may not always be as important. However, if we have a reaction channel, then authenticity may play a bigger role. So it’s very content dependent. 6. One of the most important elements of retention is giving viewers a sense of progression. Viewers judge a video by the way shots, scenes, and segments are being used. If the viewer notices too many shots that don't move the story forward and just double down on a certain point or a certain event happening, they tend to disengage a lot faster. For example, a drone shot may look cool, but it may not add additional value that the viewer cares about. This then slows down the viewer’s decided pacing, and retention goes down. Every second of your video should justify its existence. Cut out every second that does not move the story forward. There is nuance to this, because certain raw content lives by having these seconds, but that’s a nuance that requires a deeper explanation. 7. Going back to advice about voiceovers, the use of voiceovers needs to be done cleverly. I often notice that people use them to state something that is already visually being demonstrated. What voiceover is supposed to do is move the story forward in a way that visuals can't, or add context that otherwise cannot be established. Don’t just repeat what’s happening on screen or spoil what’s going to happen. The voiceover, and the reason for using voiceovers, is mainly to communicate things that your visuals or story can’t. Bonus tip, if you use conversational language in your voiceovers, it may give viewers a sense of connection to you, which helps with parasocial relationship building. 8. Good pacing comes from introducing new information, not just faster cuts. When people analyze successful content, they often tend to focus on how fast cuts are being done. But the reason why is because those fast cuts were the only way that that content piece was able to introduce new information. However, well-planned content can live off a single shot where cutting isn't really needed, as long as new information is constantly being introduced, information that the viewer actually cares about. So the next time you think about pacing, don't think about the cutting speed, but think about the way information is conveyed. And by relying on that as a first principle, you'll reduce the risk of making your content feel rushed through cutting too fast for no reason. 9. When unpredictable moments happen in your content, viewers tend to stay engaged longer. And that’s because the uncertainty that comes from unpredictable moments is very exciting. As long as unexpected moments don’t take us away from the goal that we’re going for and serve more as either an obstacle or something exciting that adds to the goal, viewers like unexpected moments. When I say unexpected, it is unexpected for the viewer. This doesn’t mean that it has to be unexpected for you. So you can plan for these moments. 10. My last piece of advice is mainly targeted toward beginning creators, because they tend to make this mistake the most, and it is the use of logos or title screens at the beginning of the video. A lot of smaller creators tend to want to showcase who they are. However, viewers don't need this confirmation, because they're already on your channel watching your videos. Viewers care about the content you're providing them, not the logo shown at the beginning. You're also wasting valuable time for the viewer who is still making a decision on whether they want to watch the video or not. So simply removing logos or title screens at the beginning of your video is often a great way to get the viewer into your video faster and make sure they don't get annoyed by this experience. If you are really set on adding your logo to your intro, add it in a non-intrusive way, such as in a transition visual that takes less than a second, from your intro to your main content. There is a lot of nuance to all of the tips that I've just given, but I wanted to put them here to demonstrate the way you can think about content, and hopefully inspire you to optimize for the smaller decisions that could affect retention in a bigger way. Some of these tips will have a bigger influence than others, but this doesn't mean that one is more important than the other in the grand scheme of optimization.

ELON: AGING'S A SOLVABLE PUZZLE, BODY HAS A SYNC CLOCK FOR 35T CELLS "I haven't put much time into the aging stuff. It is a very solvable problem. When we figure out what causes aging, we'll find it's incredibly obvious. The reason I say it's not a solid thing is because all the cells in your body pretty much age at the same rate. I've never seen someone with an old left arm and a young right arm ever in my life. So why is that? That means that there must be a clock, a synchronizing clock, that is synchronizing across 35 trillion cells in your body." Source: @elonmusk
