This is such a good video! As a small content creator your description of watching the analytics was spot on! Thanks for reminding us that we all did what we loved before KZread! Your comments about KZread being the front end of a business is good too!

glad you're getting something out of it my friend! have a lovely day and wishing you success on your journey

Absolutely resonates. For me it does help to focus on the joy of creation and sharing itself and don't look at the statistics too much. I'll do the best I can in the preperation, shooting, editing, title, thumbnail etc. and then I let it go. Blessings. ❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nice Mate Tea Cup 🍵🍵

thank you for sharing! lots of love to you

I'm grateful I found your channel. I think one of the things that's prevented me from producing videos was the possibility of rejection so I appreciated this message. I'd love to hear your music, I thought you were strictly inspirational. I've only been playing bass for about 3 years. It started out as therapy but I grew to love it. I'll have to check your channel out further when I get home. PeaCe!

thanks friend, blessings!

hey gang, hope you enjoyed this one

A HUGE part of it is because too many people are trying to be YT creators and such. The market is saturated. It's like going to a store that sells nothing but 20 million brands of peanut butter. That being said, which peanut butter do you choose? Not all the peanut butter people are going to get rich or even make a living with that many choices. I think you make good videos, if that is any consolation.

Hi David! First of all I wanna say that I think your content is amazing, from the sound and image quality to the way you express yourself in front of the camera. Not everybody has the ability to talk to a camera naturally and feel comfortable doing it, and you do a great job. Having said that, I wonder if you made your videos more searchable would that make it easier for people to find your channel. I wouldn’t change the content at all, but maybe include more “how-to” titles with things that people are looking for. The content would be the same, but with a slightly different structure. I think you have such helpful insights and your content is super valuable, you are going to be big and I’ll be happy to see it happen! 💪♥️

I think you are good at this. Like everything else I try I seem to be horrible at it and KZread is no exception. For me I see other peoples content and it inspires questions. The famous KZread people never respond to your questions. So thought I would make a reaction video as a way to ask the question hoping I can get it answered and that has also been an abysmal failure for me too. I guess people don’t care about subjects predicting your lifespan for retirement purposes etc.

@@thedavidboland You’re so welcome 😬

You speak the truth. I found your thoughts relatable to mine😅

I couldn’t do it unless I had some sort of talk show format with a consistent topic. But then I prefer being anonymous so forget it. Then finally, although I enjoy posting comments I would disable the comments. Crazy people are totally off-putting, especially the illiterate people who like to use emojis since they can’t write but want to post anyway.

having good quality videos has potential for future growth i would think, when you get a click bate breakthrough, people will find your high quality channel content ( hopefully )

thanks Peter, I agree. another boost on one video will probably result in some degree of binge watching on my back log of videos! wishing you well mate.

yes :P thank you!

I think it's idiocy. I made few vids when I was 10 or so, and tried to become media assistant, or what ever editor. But yeah I think art is it, but because how youtube has grown, it keeps cultivating only one kind of content, and it's again content. *Blarghh*

Great video David. May I ask what microphone you use? I really like the sound.

It’s a sub zero from Gear4Music. I also aim to get close to the mic when I talk, boost the bass and high end in post production + add a limiter to increase the volume. ❤

university department with highest faculty salaries? marketing professors

Is it just me? People don't want to hear this message about this. They dont even care. Why would one not want to click on this title? It is research. It goes against what KZreadrs have been yelling to all of the people searching "how to start a youtube channel?" All of the tips and tricks and data crunching....... Checking your Analytics is comparable to looking at a stock portfolio like a hawk every day. It can drive ya nuts. The impact of the view counts, likes, and shares..... Lol! 7:26 i spoke too soon. Now yiu are talkjng about the same thing with statistics

David. Although you have access to your stats...you don't have to look at them. I think you know intuitively about what needs to be done around the "content creation" experience but you may be over thinking it. "You cannot create something greater than what you are." KZread should not be treated at a primary source of income. When it's not...then a channel's performance receives the focus it deserves. You're not Rick Beato. His experience has been much greater. However; this doesn't mean that your videos would therefore be less interesting. You simply have less experience (musically) to draw from.
