Well, well, well. guess who just hit me with a copyright strike on my channel for a video they paid me to make about their product?.@Filmora_Editor, you can't intimidate or bully me. You're only making your company look even more petty and selfish.

Dear @TeamYouTube,.We understand that you're dealing with Invalid Traffic from a variety of sources, and we realize it's no small problem for you, the advertisers you do business with and the greater Creator economy. We understand that we may often become frustrated and often

*sigh*. another day, another YouTuber I know whose channel was hijacked and removed. Also another creator asking me how to find the info to fill out the hijacking form because he didn't have it all saved anywhere. People, please. 🙏.Do yourselves a huge favor. Stop whatever.

Another reminder; The people who comment on your videos are NOT your target audience. They're your community. They're often unwittingly represented by a loud minority who may seek to derail you. Let your data be your guide, not a willingness to appease every outspoken viewer.

YouTube doesn't hate small channels. It just doesn't know anything about you yet and with all the spam accounts out there. can you blame them?.No wonder they don't push the crap out of every new or small channel. This is the new channel I'm building. I haven't done anything

Dear @TeamYouTube,.Here's the biggest issue facing Creators who have had their AdSense accounts suspended due to Invalid Traffic that they were not responsible for. The only resource available to most Creators to appeal an AdSense suspension is the @Google AdSense Invalid.

Be cautious of how you share what you think you know while you’re still learning. A very wise mentor snapped me back in line when I was much younger (and very cocky). He said, “I taught you everything YOU know. not everything I know”.

Agree or disagree?. "I make videos in 4k to 'future proof' my content". (I've heard that so many times). People mostly watch YouTube videos on their mobile devices. With the added editing load, does a great video really need to be 4k?. You know who ISN'T editing in 4k. ?

I keep saying it; Stop thinking about Shorts like some silly TikTok dance craze and start making short form content that provides value to your target audience. You'll be surprised the kind of daily views they can drive from places other than the Shorts shelf.

One mistake I think a lot of Creators make is not replying to comments because they take time & YouTube implies they're not a major algorithmic factor for recommendation. But guess what?. VIEWERS absolutely use them for deciding whether to watch more of your content or not.

So tired of this unyielding hate culture. I'm officially announcing January 31, 2023 as "Block a Hater Day". The next knucklehead who uses 'free speech' as an excuse to attack you unprovoked, I give you full permission to block or hide from channel at will with zero remorse.

If you've tried using YouTube's Research tab and absolutely none of the Search information seems relevant to your niche, that's a huge clue to a potential problem you might have on your channel. This is a lens into who YouTube thinks your current target audience is.
