    I love that Gling has sponsored a few of your videos. 1) You deserve it 2) Gling is AMAZING and saves so much time!

    You are really a master of video scripting and marketing. You have the ability to turn complex things to simple concepts, but most importantly to turn those simple concepts to a masterpiece of attention grabbing and holding, that is actually nice to watch and calming. keep grinding. ❤

    Another terrific video! Your vids are so informative and engaging to watch. I had to laugh when you said filming was the hard part. I find filming relatively easy - it’s the editing step where I tend to procrastinate and grumble the whole time, and inevitably rush it cuz I just want to be done with it. 😆 You do an inspiring job with yours.

This channel is my faceless, so what do you guys think? 🎉

    Hey Alter, here's my opinion on this video. After watching the whole video, I genuinely feel that this was JUST an overview on making videos for RUclips.
    Though it was a mistake to put the Titles and Thumbnails at the foremost and NOT at the last.
    Overall, I genuinely didn't find Enough information to MAKE IT ON RUclips. But, I appreciate your efforts for the Editing part.

  • @MaximoJoshua
    @MaximoJoshua 16 часов назад

    Great video, as usual...but I do wish there was a section on "Where will I upload this to?" Should you start a new channel, or should you just use the same channel you watch RUclips with. If you are going to pick some sort of niche, how should the name of the channel reflect that? I think this is one of my personal biggest barriers, because I have like 5 different ideas for what the channel should be called...also, the last step, when you upload, it would be great to see how you actually do that part...

    • @AprilynneAlter
      @AprilynneAlter  10 часов назад +1

      Thank you for your feedback! I’d say just use the same channel you watch RUclips with (the algorithms are completely different). And channel name is something you can always change later, but the easiest way to go is just using your name as the channel name! That way, if your niche changes over time, your channel name is consistent

    Fun Fact!
    Some small creators that I know had 3K Subs in a Month because the creator didn't expect that to happen over a 1st video to blow up.

    • @AprilynneAlter
      @AprilynneAlter  17 часов назад +1

      It’s definitely possible! But I usually recommend people don’t go into it with those types of expectations - it can make it feel like there’s too much pressure placed on their first video to succeed, which can make it feel even harder to start!

    Hey Aprilynne, I'm a huge fan and I think your tips are very useful. But my problem is I'm a gaming channel without showing my face or voice, so what can I do ?

    • @AprilynneAlter
      @AprilynneAlter  17 часов назад

      So many of the same principles apply! Even without your face or voice, think about why someone would watch. What type of value are they getting from the video? Based on that, what’s the promise, progress, and payoff you can set up? Those points won’t be expressed with your face or voice, but they should still be there in the edit

    @kubaaaaaaaa 18 часов назад

    Is it a good idea to "go big" on the first video? I have a lot of ideas that I think would be very good, but I am scared that if I go for the big idea as my first video it won't reach anyone as my RUclips channel is not established yet

    • @AprilynneAlter
      @AprilynneAlter  10 часов назад

      I’d say the biggest priority is just getting SOMETHING out. If the pressure or fear behind making a “big” video is holding you back from starting, I’d pick a smaller idea that feels easier to execute!

    I noticed that even after 1 hour of publishing the video this very video has only 345 views even though she has 60k+ subs. her Highest viewed video has 1M+ views which killer intro. Her content is good but the style is exactly similar from rest of the videos. It also feels like she is repeating all the stuff. No hatred towards her actually her videos helped me a lot but when I saw the video and uploaded time with only 345 views even though she has 60k+ subs I think viewers are getting bored with this style. Even her thumbnails are almost similar.
    I could be wrong though but that's what I think...

    • @AprilynneAlter
      @AprilynneAlter  17 часов назад +1

      I appreciate your thoughts, but that first hour performance is actually quite normal for my channel! Most of my videos get the majority of their views up to a few weeks AFTER a video is first uploaded
      My hypothesis is that because this video is so beginner-focused, while a lot of my core audience is more immediate, it’ll have a slow start but will grow more over time from SEO
      A lot of people ask me how to make their first RUclips video, so I wanted to add something very beginner-focused to my catalog of videos :)
