Let's Keep It Fresh!

They do, actually. Even if the information is readily available for people, many of them don't know how to utilize their resources to find it. I'm sure there are some out there with ulterior motives, and want nothing more to help themselves while appearing to help others. Regardless if the information is available to the public, not many know how to find it, and these people aid them in doing so. Most of the time without mentioning their own channels, or charging any sort of fee; keeping it free to any who seek it.

I made no 'serious' claim that you'd become popular, or famous by using this method of revamping your older videos. All I was doing was just sharing the knowledge I gained myself through trial and error. I was teaching you something from experience, though it was from my own personal experience to try and aid others. Despite if some think that I'm doing it for the sole purpose of myself, I'm not; nor did I make any attempt to do so.

In the end, you're free to either take the advice or move on, it's no biggie. We're all just trying to help each other out.

Yeah, it was more of an audioistic sort of script. Thanks for the compliment though!

I agree.. just about consultants in general. Lots of people 'understand' YouTube and Digital Media but there is always more to understand and more to know about it and a consultants job is to educate and maximize their social / digital media for profit and exposure.

I don't think that @LyfeWithDragons meant that they're a genius at this, it's just a 'hey remember to do this.. it can help you out' type deal. Which is good advice and a great reminder if you have 150+ videos and some have potential and have outdated or boring thumbnails.. it can help drive traffic. We all give advice here, whether you have 5 subs or 5 million subs.. we're all at different stages in the game and some people might be doing things differently so it's good to hear what everyone has to say.

With my channel, I'm experimenting with it.. making small tweaks to see what pops out the best. Lately I've been really focusing on search terms for my 'taste test' videos and tweaking keywords, descriptions, thumbnails, etc to make them more user friendly. It's all about playing with it to see what works best and having all of those little things in there can make your video show up through SEO on and off of YouTube.

The problem isn´t with tips that might or might not help you. Sure, many people can give you a piece of advice that can possibly help you to go from 50 to 53 subscribers. That´s not that big of a challenge at all. The problem is with people who haven´t been able to achieve success trying to teach others how to become "hot". It´s like a guy who makes an horrible pizza pie giving you tips on how to make an amazing pizza pie. If you can´t use your own tips to make a decent meal, why should i pay any attention to you?

Sure, now you can say, "i was just joking", but the reality is that your post really comes across as written by someone who thinks he has something very valuable to teach. And that being the case, i think it´s perfectly natural for me to want to see some good examples of this tip being used by you to make your videos "hot".

And i´m not even saying this is a bad or a good tip. It doesn´t matter. My thoughts aren´t just directed to you. They´re directed to this forum in general. There are just way too many "losers" acting like experts.

Glad someone understands.

As I stated before, I just started doing this myself, and saw some potential growth. Was it exponential? No, though when done on a much bigger playing field, (case n' point @LemonLorraine 's channel) it can work. The "joke" I was referring to, was how I presented the information, as if I were simply attempting to sell something like one would see on TV (old 50's commercial references). If the joke went above your head, then sorry you took it that way. I'm in no way, shape, or form a "loser". I saw potential for a technique I discovered, and shared it with others. The entire point of my writing that in such a way was to poke fun at myself act like I was big shot.

I'd love to see your channel, and hear all the wisdom you have to share with others. If you're doing so well, and truly care about other YouTuber's as well, you'd want to share in your vast knowledge in how to get to be an expert like you, right? If not, then just take my post for what it is at face value (since I've explained it multiple times) and leave it at that.

That´s all your words, buddy. I´m not creating topics telling people i have tips that will make their videos "hot". I have a student mentality, even in the fields i´m successful. I like to learn with people who are doing better than me. I don´t like to pose as a teacher, because i´ain´t one. People who have achieved amazing things in this area are the ones who should be sharing their wisdom. I like honest share of knowledge. Knowledge should come from those who know. Those who don´t know should listen and learn.

I like to learn, but i like to learn from examples, that´s why i called you out. I don´t mean to sound rude. I´m simply honestly interested to know from where some people get their ideas and what have they done with them. That´s all.

It´s ok to share a technique that has helped you in any way. But this is not a comedy club and people come here to get useful tips on how to succeed, not to try to get your sense of humor. I don´t know you, so if you tell me your tip is gonna make my videos "hot", i have no reason to believe you´re not being serious. As i said, this is not a comedy club. I don´t expect people who create help threads to be joking around.

Well, not once in my original post did I say anything about "hot" being correlated to getting views, or that views would increase. In fact, I didn't mention anything about getting views at all. I said to keep your videos fresh, and looking hot, keeping them up to date. Say a person has been making videos for a year, or two, and along the way has learned a bit more about managing his/her channel, possibly learned some graphic design. It's nice to go back, and touch up those older videos. New/better thumbnails, description, and tags; to keep their videos/channel looking hot/fresh.

My confusion with your post was where you got the notion that I was trying to bypass myself off as some actual hotshot, when I don't fear showing my channel, and it's results. If I wanted to keep the illusion that I was in fact a big shot, I'd have the wherewithal to at least hide the fact that I'm not. I'm not posing at a teach either, I'm a small YouTuber in a community filled with other small YouTuber's just helping each other out. My goal was to simply give some friendly advice, in a manner that is becoming of my silly personality. I know a lot of people on this forum, and if I was certain many of them wouldn't get my posts, I wouldn't of made them the way they are. You're obviously new, and that's fine, I can't fault you for that. However, keep in mind this forum isn't a school, it's a community. People here are friends, and nearly everyone here has their own way of doing things. If my one post truly got you that riled up, then you aren't going to enjoy your time here. Lighten up, and be a bit more friendly.

P.S. Referring to other's as "losers" really isn't a good first impression.

When you say a video or a channel is "hot" on Youtube, what do you really expect people to understand by that? Would you say by having a video with 30 views you´re keeping it "hot"? What´s so hot about a video with 30 views?

 

[LyfeWithDragons]

When a person is attractive would someone say "Wow, that person is 'hot." or "Wow, that person has a lot of views?" your logic at the moment; doesn't make any sense.

Of course I'm talking about appearance. That should be clear, if not, again, sorry. At least I'm taking the time to apologize that my message wasn't clear enough.

In internet Slang you don´t generally use the term "hot" to indicate that a website, video or youtube channel is "good looking". You use it to indicate it´s popular. Funny enough, i just visited Deviantart and in their "What´s hot" section they are clearly showing me the most popular pics from the last day, so yes, i think i make plenty of sense. Be aware of what you really say and stop backtracking by playing with the word´s meanings. If you say "hot youtube videos" nobody is gonna think you´re talking about how pretty they look.


Oh, and BTW:

I´m pretty sure they´re talking about how good those videos look.

I never said it couldn't mean it, I said that's not how I meant it. Also, I already apologized for the misunderstanding. So, not sure what more you want.

You said i didn´t make any sense for interpreting your words the way i did. Next time write exaclty what you mean. A video is hot when it´s problem. Videos aren´t people. They aren´t judged by how pretty they look.

Cheers.
