Their channels have very high RPM, so they continue to create videos and drag out the info. I'll admit as a creator they do have some good tips in their videos, but you do need to just find out yourself what works most of the time and the biggest tip I have for any creator is simply: edit so your video isn't boring. That's it. Just dont waste peoples time and value their time and you will start to see the algorithm learn what audience is best for your videos. You'll never get a video to go viral overnight, usually it takes about 2 months of consistency before you get a semi-successful video, for me that was a video that hit 22,000 views about 14 uploads into my channel. All the previous videos barely broke a couple of thousand and my very early videos were only in the tens/hundreds.
The same thing happened to me
I have been doing the same since 6 months following my competitors have to say it doesn't work
I dont like them too especially think media . But yes their have subs bcoz ppl are watching them bcoz they are looking for solutiom 1000 and 4000 .When they archive 1000/4000 they dont need them .
This comment is so helpful ❤
I recently started 3 channels and this is the one I post most frequently on..I thought I would start with just these views and staying here but seeing other peoples experiences give me hope 😊
It sounds like a bot typed that 😂
i do not think any of them really understand the algorithm
Your dirty screen made me realize that I am not the only one. Thank you
haha it aint pretty
Me too 😂
Mine is even much worse
I run a company helping RUclipsrs grow their channels, while also growing channels my company owns. I respect your opinion, but honestly what stood out to me the most is your storytelling and editing. I just want to encourage you and say you have a bright future ahead for your channel. Keep going and keep serving your audience and I know I’ll be seeing this channel over a million subscribers in the future.
Just subscribed 👍🏻
I think a lot of people get stuck in a loop as well where they just keep watching these channels in the hope they gain more knowledge or find an easy way to grow. And NEVER actually start their channel. While these channels do provide some great insights and tips, nothing will beat actually just getting started and learning on the job.
@occsaun 100% I've literally been in an endless loop of watching all of these creators for months. I've only recently just built up the nerve to record my first videos but I have to say the main inspiration wasn't guys like Ali Abdaal (although I think he does a great job simplifying and conceptualizing what it takes to make it big on YT), it was a handful of smaller creators over 40 who provided the encouragement to just do it. It's an easy place to get stuck though.
So true. I literally made a video about this because i used to do this. Watch hours of videos just to hear the same thing over and over
100% true
@@Ty_Myers I agree. As a 57-year-old, I have also been encouraged by the creators in my demographic more than anything else.
@@Ty_Myers 100 percent agree they feed off people starting out instead of helping
This is a masterpiece! No joke... you took a ridiculously simple premise ("RUclips Growth Marketing is a Scam") and created a wildly entertaining story and fantastic edit. Well done. Love it!
Thank you! Glad you like it
Holy shoot! This is easily the best video I've watched all week. I used to just binge watch these guy's content until I realized that they're just repeating the same thing over and over again for their funnel. Great narration, and even greater pacing. Mason you absolutely killed it with this video!
I myself have 4.2k subs on this channel and 5.6K on my other channel and I can say confidently that these gurus mostly regurgitate info that is readily available. These are the things that got me monetized x2 free of charge:
1. Make videos for a specific audience that you KNOW watches content on RUclips (i.e. sports fans, star wars fans, young professionals, etc. )
2. Plan your content out in advance based on other successful videos in your niche as well as what your audience directly asks for.
3. Open your videos with something interesting like a question and cut all the dead air.
4. Be consistent - this means don't take really long breaks but feel free to upload on different days of the week ( I know this is contrary to what most gurus say) - I upload when I finish.
5. Respond to comments ( not all, but the good ones ) and leave hearts - don't underestimate the power of just being friendly to your audience.
Thank you for making this. Getting caught in the growth binge rut is something I feel like a lot of us can relate to.
Great video :)
Ugh yes I feel this. I especially get irked out by the videos that say “how to go viral” or something to that effect.
all the time you get bored of the BS
With this video you probe that the only way to growth on RUclips is to make good videos. You've achieved that. The main thing is to make entertaining videos with an excellent rhythm…and you know how to do it. No awesome places, no fancy camera, dirty screen... but no one wants to leave the video until the end comes. Well done!
totally agree i have had more idea from all the comments on here than any course thank you
Keep going my guy. This is a great video!
“ if there is not a product they you are the product “ great explanation 😁, keep going
verified human no way
God save me bc I’m stuck in that loop too. Some are helpful but they all kinda say the same thing and they keep popping up on my feed. Who are these people!!? Some don’t even have receipts (but now everyone’s an expert lol). Glad it’s not just me that feels this way.
Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for making this dope video; seriously love your creative (yet still authentic) perspective. GL to you! 🌟🙌🏽
I can totally relate, I have a love-hate relationship with that niche. The truth is, they're businesses teaching others to treat RUclips like a business. Which is fine, but not everyone wants to be that, some people just want to create art. Judging by the unique style of your video and attention you put into it, I think you fall into that category :) I really enjoyed your video, it was so refreshing. Keep up the great work, and keep creating!
I loved the creative shots and visual storytelling elements. Great work!
Well said!!! I do think there are guys out there like Nate Black that have their audience's best interest in mind, but the allure to the $$$ is often too strong to resist
This is your best performing video, so talking about growing on youtube actually made you grow lol.
Amazing film man, it made me feel understood
Great video man, music choice and voice over on point.
🙌
enjoyed the video, very well edited and the voice over was done well keep up the good work
thank you!
Agreed, editing and vid creation is very good! I also noticed that you put many of the "teachers" tricks to work. The hook, editing, script, title and thumb nail - all follow their advice. And I see view wise, it worked for you. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk free on their channels, I agree, that part (paid coaching) may not be necessary. But the formula they are teaching for free works. Our vids are a product, package them in the box yt wants you to and they will "sell" better. Nice video, I enjoyed watching, done well. 😊
I just started a RUclips channel, and find the most difficult part is finding the balancing between my regular job, my home life (wife and kids) and my creative time. I mainly just want to build a community to connect with likeminded individuals, while also providing value that community seeks. All while trying to become my natural self on camera that I am at home or with friends.
It’s a process that I will enjoy because it will help me grow as a person and creator, while being authentic.
Much love to those diving into the deep end that is content creation 🙏🏻
leave the wife and kids. problem solved
I only read the first 3 lines before starting to reply. What you are seeking doesn’t work. I’m doing YT next to work / fam / kids. You will keep sacrificing fam time 😢 a “balance” can be established by agreeing with you wife which day you don’t spend with them. YT can eat up 8-14 hours per day easily.
I started my first channel in Jan 2022. Still married.
@@ShadyFoxGG Depends on what kind or content you make, there are people that just make the easiest content with no to almost no editing but provide usefull knowledge or interesting subject.
@@ShadyFoxGG there’s no sole purpose for making content. Like I mentioned above I want to build a community first and foremost, I want to provide value to that community that others can find useful to some degree (eventually be my funny and natural self on camera, while packaging informative content) and obviously to help mold a future for myself and my family financially. I didn’t mention money before because it’s not the focus. It’ll be a byproduct of the value I hope to provide eventually.
Balancing family, work and content creation time is what I would imagine most new creators have problems with. I can function on little sleep throughout the day, but I want my content to be good, so I got to be present when shooting videos I want. At some point I want to expand on what content I provide which will take time and effort. But with practice, lots of effort and goals I’m hopeful to get there
You have made an amazing video on this subject. These "promise" videos are addictive and sadly, new creators are targeted and also the subject of "algorithm changes" tends to be a hook that many use. What i have noticed is that there are many new small creators really going for authenticity, identifying (like you) the false promises, the pressures to purchase quality tech etc. Being a creator is damn hard and many burnout just from trying to keep up with what they think they should know and then jeopardising their passion for content creation. Sometimes, there is a need to step away from the noise and remember your "WHY" for being a creator in the first place and create with passion and joy so you can enjoy the journey. So glad your channel popped up. Keep creating.💯💯👏🏼
so very true well said hope you make it
Damn dude. The quality of this video is amazing! I've fallen into that niche many times,thinking I would find a gem that would Kickstart things. Without actually just starting. You just just gained a sub!
A high quality video like this will get you way better results than any information you could possibly get from their videos.
Good visual elements/editing + good idea= views and subscribers
Also cant believe someone finally spoke up about this. That in itself could be a niche on its own
Growth may not happen overnight, but with consistent effort and a commitment to improving, you'll see progress. Each video is a step forward. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep pushing forward
I am a small content creator myself and I watch these «how to grow on YT» videos with a grain of salt. I am aware that they are in a different nice and that they try so sell me something. My channel is in a very small nice, but I am passionate about it. I don’t want to copy something that I know, will works. I want to be creative and make videos I enjoy. What I love about my personal journey, is that I make my own mistakes. I learn my own lessons. I progress at my own pace.
«Make people click on the video and make them watch the video» is simple, but also complex. I take that as a reminder for my next video.
What I liked about your video, Mason, was the physicality. What do I mean by that? The post its, the hand held camera instead of a screen capture, the funnel visualization, the pacing of the video. I hope, you keep your style of making video. It is different from what I usually watch, but that is why I found it so refreshing.
yes agreed enjoy the journey as I am doing well said
Excellent video! Looking forward to the “get you to 1001 subscribers in 30 seconds!”
The list of things I stopped watching:
1- How to make money online.
2- How to grow on social media.
3- How to invest cryptocurrency.
1- Politics.
I'm very happy!😊
The dirty screen aesthetic combined with post-it notes and that side profile shot - such a refreshing editing style. Keep it up, I am sure your channel will take off soon!
this screen stays dirty 😂
Best video I've watched all week. So true! I subbed. Thanks.
Honestly, I use VidIQ and I really like it because it has some kind of chatgpt with your channel data. But I would never have bought it at full price because it's too expensive.
I think the guy with the huge glasses is the only one I like out of all of them. He sometimes says really new things, like what is coming soon, like the community tab stuff. Also, he seems to be nice.
But the other people I can't stand. Most of them are narcissistic guys who really just want to sell you something and tell you that you're the loser as a creator and nothing else by showing you how awesome other creators' thumbnails are. While I'm looking at it, I'm thinking "Nah, I would never click on that. That looks like clickbait."
And you're authentic. That's what I want to be too. Not another salesperson, although I do try to keep a "corporate design" a bit haha. What's also annoying is that 99% of the time they talk about gaming channels. I'm a musician with a music/AMV channel so most of the stuff doesn't help me.
But ultimately they make me realize that I don't mind being so tiny. I've gained fans that I really love and enjoy interacting with. It's like a little family waiting for me that I don't have in real life anymore (my dad is going to die soon too). And if I was huge, I don't think I'd be able to read all the nice, loving comments anymore.
So thank you for your video. It made me smile and it's really good and authentic. A gem in today's sales RUclips machine.
A year or so ago, I started noticing that the titles on VidIQ, ChannelMakers, and others were getting ever more clickbait-ish. Instead of "Here's how to write a title" it became "Here's why you aren't monetized". It makes finding the useful stuff impossible.
I LOVE your editing style. It's unique and very captivating. My adhd likes it very much ❤
I’m so happy to have watched this. I have been on RUclips trying to grow my small gaming channel and I have come to the same conclusion, these channels just exploit people looking for a quick fix to success. RUclips is a marathon, not a race.
Awesome video. Subscribed.
The only reason I watch "The RUclips Growth" videos is to get inspired.
actually good video that got me to click so your getting there.
Much needed video for all the small creators out there. Thank you 🙏🏽
This is really nicely made! kudos.
I feel you brother!! Nicely done ✅
Mind blowing!
Great video Mason. Thanks!
thank you!
Real and underrated creator
@@motorcarsocks it hard to break the ice. He should niche down imo. On a sports channel you want to see sports. And not sports + music + vlogs and action videos. Viewers (until are small) do no tolerate all kinds of topics randomly being published on a channel. I have never seen any small channel where it worked.
You are doing great. Thanks for this video
A very interesting look into the workings of the network. Like an endless feedback loop of empty content that devalues the engagement and views of youtube videos. An annoying thing to see as a creator, surely. Great perspective and edit!
🙌
A scam is a little bit of a stretch; there have been channels that have achieved 1,000 subscribers in under 90 days, a month, 4 weeks, etc. And in these videos, they review tips from successful creators and tips that successfully business men have used over generations of time. Do they recycle concepts over and over again and rebrand it as a new idea each time? As Rob from vidiq would say, “yes.” But this video was really good, and it was good to see another view on this. Keep going and never give up, your videos are great 👍
the editing is crazy bro🔥
🙌
Love this ❤ instead of watching how to do something, just go do it, the fun part is figuring it out 😊
amazing man, you said what we all are thinking
the sad part is that we eventually will watch all of their videos in hope to find that one nugget
Seems RUclips is exactly like the stock market after all.
In both RUclips and in the stock market, your 4 options are: 1.grift, 2.follow the herd, 3. be stuck in limbo, or 4. do the hard work over the long term to be a little better off now than you were when you started.
I've definitely binged these channels trying to learn tips. And while there are nuggets of good information, they definitely prey on peoples hopes and desires. Maybe they aren't all intending to do that, but a good chunk of their income definitely comes from that.
Hello amigo, I'm Currently in the same situation, but I realized that by doing high effort content with personality about an interesting or fairly interesting topic, you are already on the right path, JUST KEEP AT IT. Also, remember being constant, It's just pure statistics, if for example you upload a short a day and a long form video a week, with a fairly interesting topic and high effort, eventually SOMEONE will watch, it's a Fact. Stay possitive!
Great video!! I’ve spent over a decade being “scammed.” 😂 Yes my channel is THAT old.
The only formula I’ve found which provides far more desirable and predictable outcomes for RUclips content creators is as follows:
Pay no mind to 99% of the RUclips gurus out there. They will always have an upsell and produce very few results.
Step 1) Know EXACTLY who your audience is (demographics and psychographics). Study them daily through comments, their previously watched videos, age, gender, etc.
Step 2) Appeal to that specific audience through the topics you choose and the way in which you communicate.
Step 3) Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Research what’s already working (thumbs & titles) then reinvent existing RUclips success within your niche. Make it your own and give your own take sort of like you did with this video. (Reminder: This goes for thumbnails and video topics).
Step 4) Scrub the retention graph for each of your videos looking for drop offs, spikes and retention. Avoid doing more of whatever caused the drop offs. Do A LOT more of whatever resulted in spikes and stabilization.
Step 5) Use the data from your retention graph to guide the format of your following videos and keep refining as you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your retention graph.
Step 6) Watch successful RUclipsr channels repeatedly and I guarantee you will find patters in their format, delivery and title choices.
Step 7) Your brain and mind respond to all messaging, so own the fact that you'd like to be a financially successful RUclipsr. This proactive approach is far more effective than passively accepting existing circumstances due to limited knowledge and experience.
Best of luck.
This was extremely therapeutic and I love that we’re not afraid to talk about misleading content. I dig your style 💪🏼
Finally someone talking about this
Thank you for exposing these insane channels full of useless information. As a Life / Relationship Coach, my goal is to help as many people as I can both online and offline. I do have my own book and course but I would never price them beyond their true value. It took me 800 hours to write and edit my highly unique philosophical book and over 75 hours to create my unique self-help course. I could easily charge hundreds for each, but choose not to. Yet so many people these days are charging and arm and a leg for common knowledge you can easily find for free. Crazy times indeed.
For real man you exposed them so well! Great job!
Dang I didn't know Ali Abdaal was such a grifter.. He's not straight up scamming or anything, but $5k for info you could mostly find for free and is less effective than Mr. Beast's free advice?? Idk about that one chief. To me thats almost a scam. But I'm happy to call it a grift at least.
these channels drive me insane, I don't like them either. good video. I genuinely hope people wake up and stop consuming their crap. same advice over and over again from all of them. im glad mr beast built a competing tool to vidIQ, (weirdly their upload rates seemed to increase ever since he launched it) it seems he's more interested in giving people tools they can use rather than a scam course or BS advice. I'm not sure if this is the way things really are though or if my perspective is skewed. anyway, loved the video, I hope you succeed!
Ohhh I love this. I’ve just started and I saw all of these channels… I think new channels get served their content… anyway it just felt off. Me subscribing to them helps them. Thank you for sharing this! Maybe we need a “we’re not willing to be funneled “ support group. 😂
As someone who spent WEEKS researching 'how to launch a successful YT channel', all the info is available..for free..(ironically)...on YT. But I can't blame them for launching a course. I would actually say it's negligent not to offer some sort of course once you have a huge following. It's just all part of the ecosystem and 'diversification of income'.
I feel you - however I would say they are a NOT scam - they are A BUSINESS …. If we apply the specific framework of their courses, it will eventually work … but for some it is faster than others. It’s not a “magic pill” it will still take hard work and dedication - I understand it can be discouraging… as for me I have enough subscribers but not enough watch hours to get monetized. I know exactly what my problems are … I have great ideas but I don’t have the time, tools and expertise (editing) needed to make it happen. I work a full time job, my hubby is not supportive of my RUclips efforts, and I am in a budget - but I’m not giving up … just plugging along doing the best I can. Yeah, the courses are a bit too expensive so I didn’t enroll in any of them but I still watch their videos and apply whatever little learning nugget I get. Don’t be discouraged. Have a positive mindset and keep going.
In a way it is a scam, I could watch videos but I'd never use money I'd use on important stuff like equipment to purchase a course that I don't even know if I'll actually benefit from. It's all a way of enriching themselves. The advice on their videos is enough for me to start I don't think I need to purchase courses for that, I believe if youtube is your thing you'll do great with time
well i just subscribed to your channel hows that hope you every success
thank you. subscribed to yours too and also wish you success.
we have the "choice - to buy or not to buy" (I have not bought because I canʻt afford them :) ) - that is why I look at them more of a biz than a scam. But hey, this video is getting a lot of views right now. Looks like Mason Godwin stumbled upon a topic many people are interested on. This video can change the trajectory of his channel :)
@@VisitLiveLoveMaui yh I don't know how he came up with this but he's really hitting it with this one, this just might be it. I'm happy for him
For me, I've been watching how to grow on youtube and how to grow a subscriber. I've never learned anything . I did the hard way of doing it my own lesson, learning from my channels in my niche how they do . How do they make thumbnails intro and the editing. Now i know some things im still learning n now my channel is growing more engagements over time 😊😊😊
That's the thing that really annoys me about these videos. They never teach you any skills that you can use towards making your videos better
@@MasonGodwin1 This exactly.
I've watched enough of them (and made enough vids) to realize that it doesn't matter how many times they tell you to get clicks, hook people, and follow through; they either can't or won't tell you HOW to do that on YOUR channel. Even channel "reviews" only touch the surface.
What's worse is that much of the title/thumbnail advice is just teaching how to do the bait-and-switch.
just got a sub, your editing and story telling is great
I really enjoyed your video, thank you. Especially that you've now told me the three easy things I need to build a RUclips channel.
nothing but facts man im in the same boat
I swear I thought I was the only one who always noticed this. It's like a hivemind of creators that just jump on the bandwagon of "trust me guys, you too can do it in your niche of choice" or "watch me create a brand new channel and grow it immensely" and then proceed to create more of what they were already doing in the first place. I respect a lot of these creators don't get me wrong, but it's very frustrating to be noticing this in action, like most of these tips and tricks just don't apply as magically as you think UNLESS you're gonna create the exact same content.
On the other hand I am definitely the type of creator (and even just hobbyist) that will spend more time watching and learning theory about certain topics than actually going out and doing the damn thing.
what might even be more depressing is their comment sections. people saying they worked for years to end up with 100 views per video
mindset keep going , brings me to a saying "never give upon something you cant go a day without thinking about "
i actually enjoyed this video , tanks for sharing and more people should know this so i subbed ;-)
Thank you for sharing
Very well said! They can’t prove their methods work for people who aren’t talking about how to succeed on RUclips, it’s infuriating. But as others have said here, I’ve learned some good things as well. It’s astonishing how many people can afford these £5000 courses and seem happy about it, maybe they really are holding some amazing secrets back 😂
Unrelated but the storytelling and editing in this video is so so good and entertaining
great fu****g video bro I’ve been thinking this but I thought I was crazy😭😭😭. Definitely earned my subscribe like and notis. Keep going dude u r talented💪💪🔥
🙌🙌🙌
i feel like people should make what they want to make, and how they want to make it, not just catering to what they think the algorithm "wants." thanks for making this video and generating discussion on it.
Yeah Vidiq has been laying their ads on pretty thick recently
Super good video dude!
thank you!
Yes! Nicely done ❤
I don’t even watch these and they come up on my home page WAY too much
Also great video
Nice one. Thanks a lot.
Nice vid Mason!!
That's a cool video, was fun to watch
Very underrated bro keep it up
Thank you! Will do 🙌
Wow your editing style is awesome ❤️🩹
As a small channel needed this
Marcus Jones course is really good. It is a lot of work and I am not far in yet but I have learnt extra things that aren't in his video which have helped me. Liked and subscribed.
best way to answer thes course power to us small chnnels
@@theEnlightenedpsychologist Hi. You are in the same niche as me. I'll check out your channel.
I’ve recently started clicking on the three dots those kind of videos --> click not interested.
It helped the algorithm and myself as well and hopefully it might help some of you as well.
Btw, thanks for sharing and great editing 🙂
you made a good point my friend
Nice production quality.
Wouldn't go as far as to call these channels a scam though, it's very useful info. But once you get the knowledge, you have to focus on your own work and stop watching them. It's like with reading self-help books, reading 2 books and taking action based on it is infinitely better than reading 30 and taking no action.
What is very surprising to me though is that there are plenty of small channels that want to break out on RUclips in this "RUclips Growth" niche. Do they really have anything unique and new to say in the subject? All the info is already out there and they can't really talk from experience. Seems obvious to me that an average viewer is almost always going to click on the big channel in this niche.
One positive thing I get from the big "RUclips Growth" channels is that they have been doing this content for years and pretty much saying the same things over and over and people keep watching the videos. Gives me confidence that I can always re-do a topic I've already covered on my channel by just adding a twist to it and people will watch it if the quality is good.
Cheers, good luck on your journey :)
Truly This whole niche is a big ugly scam, i think every knowledge we need about growing a channel is already here on youtube. There are quality tutorials about literally anything (editing, cinematography, thumbnail making... ) we just need to grind and improve. Nice video
Really like the video! Great Job!
Thank you!
Nice work, you described Internet marketing.
This was refreshing, I loved it. Watching those channels is part of the journey. It all starts with selecting the topic… not the thumb and title. There needs to be interest, otherwise 0 chance that you grow. And btw… if you hit 1k.. then what? You are like 0.5% ready to make a living of YT. Cheers buddy, this was great!
Nailed it 🙌🏻
100% And they are the same recycled content. Now all of a sudden I am watching a video on videos I watch to make more videos.
it's like RUclips-ception, it doesn't make sense
They have to recycle content for people who have never seen their previous videos and besides, there's only so much topics you can come up with when it comes to growing on RUclips.
Cracking video dude!
great video mate
honestly... i loved your video way more than i realized.. coz i felt like i was seeing what you are talking about but nobody said it before..
Good video and you make a good point. What those channels do is just standard marketing practice in business today rather than a scam. That said, those marketing techniques can be manipulative and draw in some vulnerable people at times .. not just those channels.. just generally in business.. ive seen it so many times in the coaching and wellbeing industry..
Good video and very well made though.. well done you for challenging this
This is not a bait and switch though. If a „How to go viral“ wouldn’t talk about how to go viral at all, and THEN try to sell a course for virality, that‘d be a bait and switch.
They also aren’t „baiting with one and selling another“, they attract you with how to go viral and sell exactly that
While surely out there too, in most cases it’s just a funnel. Giving a little information for free, and upselling the rest.
When you sell a video as the answer for "going viral," you wouldn't need to offer a class or coaching. The video should have already taught you the lesson.
The bait-n-switch comes when they sell you the class, and during the class, they tell you it takes a lot longer than originally promised. VidIQ, for instance, makes videos with titles like "0 --> 1,000 subscribers in 7 days with one video." The girl I featured for the 'VidIQ coaching review scene,' said her channel grew from 10s of subscribers to just over 100 subscribers. She's paid for their coaching for several months. That's the bait-n-switch.
@@MasonGodwin1 did you ever pay for a youtube or a filmmaking course?
As I can tell you, your editing is well put together and the packaging matches the hook - You can tell you know what you’re doing.
So it would seem those free videos over time did teach you valuable lessons to now be able to create an engaging video, that’s getting 100x your normal views. So were they all a scam?
Now, yes, NOT everyone that watches a „How To Get 1k Subs in 7 Days“ will achieve just that.
That’s an impossible claim.
-> Now in my view, if however they themselves did what their title promises, I‘d call that a fair trade off.
Is delivering free information and selling more, inherently a scam now?
As I can tell you, that’s how all of the social media education world works.
You show that you’re credible and give out free stuff. Then you say there’s a more detail in my course.
So is it here. I‘m sure you learned many lessons from those videos still.
The phrasing of those titles implying that EVERYONE will 100% guaranteed will make it, is the one point I see here.
-> Yes, chances are, you wont achieve what the title promises. Does the video still get you closer to the goal? In many cases, I say yes, those videos help with the things they have inside.
Could a course with more detail accelerate the process?
It could very well be, and not be. That’s your risk, to trust the creator, but I deem the tendency to be: yes more detailed info helps.
CONCLUSION:
Atleast in most of the videos I watched, they actually do teach you the core concepts of how to go viral.
„Make a good video interesting to many people“, is more or less paraphrased in all videos.
It’s always the basics, and after a couple videos you know everything you need to know.
NOW what is debatable is: are those courses anything more? As long as they provide more hands on guidance, a plan and or some resources, paired with the extra drive you get from investing in something and wanting to make your money’s worth, I‘d say yes.
-> A real bait-n-switch would be to not deliver what’s needed (which I feel like most of them do, as I mentioned earlier) and to say you‘ll need their course to go viral.
Which in most cases I know is NOT their pitch. Ali‘s academy isn’t a REPLACEMENT for his videos, it’s an expandment.
Great song choice
This video was really well made. Love your editing style with the stop motion. It's clear you're really talented. Hope to see more from you like this one.
thank you! there will definitely be more to come
I remember binge watching ALL of these types of videos. Then as I made more and more content, slowly fell off.
I think that some of them can be helpful. But after a while, you just have to go make a bunch of videos, try to learn from mistakes and get better.
Great video and good luck with the channel
This guy knows what he’s doing
