| Make More Money With A "YouTube Community" | 04 Jul 2024 | 00:41:00 | |
The latest trend on YouTube is building online communities, with creators leaning towards creating paid or free communities for their audience. Platforms like School, Facebook Groups, Discord, and Patreon are popular for building communities. However, starting a community from scratch can be challenging, and it requires engagement and moderation. YouTube's algorithm favors videos with high audience retention, which can make it difficult for niche or unconventional content to gain traction. YouTube has become more cutthroat, and it's harder to get noticed unless you have broad appeal. Despite the challenges, smaller channels are still being promoted on the platform. In this conversation, Augie and Grant discuss three main topics related to YouTube: the rise of small channels, the prevalence of polarizing content, and the basics of creating a good video. They express their excitement about small channels getting recommended on the home page, but also note that these channels often cover broad topics to appeal to a wider audience. They then discuss their concerns about the trend of polarizing content and the need for creators to be controversial to gain recognition. They mention a specific example of a controversial sales teacher who uses polarizing tactics to grow his following. Finally, they provide tips for creating a good video, including using a recent smartphone with good audio and video quality, ensuring proper lighting, and considering a DSLR or mirrorless camera for better quality.
