Which Ad Breaks to chose?

depends on what you mean as sustainable, I was also talking about vlogs, I mentioned game shows because I was trying to relate to you, but yes, think about your episode 1, when episode 2 comes out will people be watching episode 1? now take that 5 years ahead, that's what I mean about sustainability, it's just my theory so don't worry about it, but do you think your episode 1 will be sustainable in 5 years when you have episode 150 up?

I'm not sure what you mean by sustainability. Will my Episode 1 be as valuable as Episode 150 when Ep150 comes out? No, Episode 1 will ALWAYS be more valuable than any other episode. It will be the most downloaded episode I will have. Fans will want to check it out.

Also, I don't think you fully understand YouTube. This isn't broadcast or even cable TV. Once we upload an episode to YouTube, it stays up and available to all viewers until the moment we take it down. YouTube is also perfectly suited to binge watching. No DVDs or Netflix required. This is when having over a 100 episodes really helps a YouTuber. It gives their viewers enough episodes to binge watch. Do know that people don't always go to Episode 1 when they are in the mood for binge watching. With my game show, a popular and winning champion will very likely kick off a binge watching episode as viewers will want to see all the episodes that champion won ... and then the one that beat the champion might interest them to see how far that champion goes.

Now, yes, most of my episodes will only be watched once by my viewers, but not all. If I get a celebrity on as a contestant, their fans will watch that episode again and again. If I get someone on that is in the news or later becomes the news, that episode will go viral.

That's just what I meant in regards to educational video's, in 5 years new people will still be wanting the same information,...

Really? Your information will never become dated? No other YouTuber in those five years will make a more recent video on the same topic? You have an exclusive on your niche? Sorry, people want up to date information and view newer information as more valuable than older information.

a vlog will not have much interest when they are talking about events that happened 5 years ago like I went to the opening of the new mcdonalds, or chat in general as they would be 5 years older and not relate to people of that age anymore, or september the 23rd 2015 is doomsday...

If a vlogger had done a video tour of the World Trade Center, that would be an eternal episode. People would watch it as it represents the past they can never visit. Historians are already expressing a lot of pleasure that there are so many YouTubers documenting everyday life so later generations can watch and learn about the past from everyday people.

too complicated to explain for me, but i'm sure you'll see what i'm trying to say, it's like would you watch reruns of the price is right from 5 years ago? that's why they don't replay them on tv, people move on.

What are you talking about? I just recently been binge watching the first season of What's My Line that aired in 1950. Go to "What's My Line" YouTube channel and you can do the same.

A game's a game. If it is entertaining, people will watch it.

The reason why they don't replay game shows on TV is because they are one of the cheapest shows to produce and new episodes ALWAYS do better than re-runs in the ratings. It doesn't matter what kind of show it is, including educational shows. But unlike TV, YouTube channels are not restricted to only showing one episode at a time. YouTube channels make ALL of their episodes available for viewing. No TV schedule involved. YouTube videos are never "re-runs" since that concept just isn't applicable to YouTube.

I assumed you had a channel and was giving me advice from experience, until you do, your just public and your just assuming, you have no idea, and very argumentative and cannot handle being questioned.

Your word is not "WORD" especially when you have nothing to back it up, just words and bla bla bla about "oh when I have my channel up it's going to be this and that and entertaining and bla bla bla.

what a load of rubbish, perhaps spend your energy of practicing what you so vigorously preach!

Having been a marketer for over three decades, I might know one or two things about it.

...and very argumentative and cannot handle being questioned.

Actually, I've been keeping a very cool head in this discussion. You haven't been. I have answered all of your questions and pointed out counter-arguments to statements you've made that I believe are inaccurate.

Your word is not "WORD" especially when you have nothing to back it up, just words and bla bla bla about "oh when I have my channel up it's going to be this and that and entertaining and bla bla bla.

I can back it up with logical arguments and history. Your counter-arguments in this last reply of yours fall more into the category of fallacies of informal logic.

what a load of rubbish, perhaps spend your energy of practicing what you so vigorously preach!

I plan do. However, unlike most YouTubers, I am thoroughly researching all aspects of YouTube, including reading posts here on YTtalk. I will be starting my channel explicitly as a for-profit business. I have been working on a business plan, talked to numerous full-time YouTubers, read everything I can on it, have Google news alerts on key words related to it, and have run everything past a closed FaceBook group of screenwriters, producers, etc. I am also in no rush and because I'm not, I am taking my time so when I do launch my show, it is as best as I can make it from Episode One forward. And while I have been on this forum, I have tried to give back to it in the section that I believe I can most contribute to and that is "Strategies & Technique Advice". As I said earlier, I've been a marketer for over three decades and decided to do a little pro bono work in this forum for those who are new to marketing. I did this with you here in this thread. Sadly, you've replied with insults and put-downs. So as you're not paying me, I'm done helping you. Both here and in any other thread you might start on YTtalk. Starting with unsubscribing to this thread.
