Dude trying to chop YT money 💰

[Nanyo 💋🖤 @Nanyo_sae]

One of my male friends has been so withdrawn lately. He barely replies to messages, and whenever I ask what's wrong, he says he's fine.

Yesterday, I went to his house to check on him and eat with him. We talked, but I could tell he wasn't ready to open up. As I was leaving, I noticed something.

His C-way water was finished, but there was a bag of sachet water beside it.
Now, this is someone who would never willingly drink sachet water. That was all I needed to know.

Knowing he wouldn't ask for help, I quietly paid the neighbour who sells C-way water to deliver three bottles.

This morning, he called to say thank you, but added, "You gats learn how to cook this thing well." That bad mouth tells me he's feeling better. A win-win!

YouTube automation is not really that hard. Don’t get me wrong it’s hard to an extent.

What’s discouraging is the low views . The hard work won’t even feel like hard work if our videos pull up to 100k views weekly .

I strongly believed that why most people quit early is the fact that never get much views on their videos .

@EmekaOghali Havent tried the short yet . I am considering it as something that'd make the algo pick my videos up

[🍃. @_Ahmad_ag]

@CestFaitFoot @EmekaOghali Okay . I understood

[🍃. @_Ahmad_ag]

@EmekaOghali Okay....

Ive been improving my titles and thumbnail and I feel like they are good enough

Although YT gives 0 Fucks about my feelings . I'll keep pushing chief

Also do you think posting shorts alongside long form would make the algo push me a bit ?

Effort doesn't guarantee the result you anticipate .

That's YouTube for you.

[Jeremiah @okolie_jer38669]

Just because you spend hours on your video doesn’t mean that video will go viral
