I don’t really agree with this narrative. Most of the people who made the most money dropshipping did exactly that, scaling crappy products from China and they printed millions. Same with YouTube. Most of the guys I know making the most money from YT post relatively low quality videos. It’s just about filling those gaps in the market at the end of the day.

@notdvb To be fair if this causes shorts to now have $1-2 RPMs it could be worth testing

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

People in this community often argue whether evergreen channels or trendy channels are the best.

Honestly, I think you should be doing both.

Boring evergreen channels = Decent and reliable profits

Trendy channels = Very high profits, but much less reliable

Just do both

@TheArmalist @PhedEU @TeamYouTube Yeah usually goes away after about 1 week max

@grundstromleo Relying on Q4 to “get rich” and pull high numbers is a misconception in itself in my opinion

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

@grundstromleo This is so true

@thomassbrgs @carl_pisano_ Watch @FacelessChems steal this screen recording and call it his

@sa1_designer Definitely niche dependent

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

@ttayln_ @thomassbrgs Lol you'd probably need 100 billion views in a day to make that much with shorts

The reason I post this is because I see too many people hyping Q4 up to be this once in a lifetime gold rush when in reality it's not.

You should have your foot on the gas all year long, not for just 3 months of the year.

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

Here's why Q4 is wildly overrated.

This is the RPM chart from one of my long term channels with 50%+ USA audience. Do you notice any major spikes during Q4 or December? Not at all.

Funny enough, the highest RPMs seen on this channel were actually during Q1 or summertime.

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

@notdvb For sure. I would say that title, thumbnail and first 1-2 minutes of the video contribute to 90% of the video’s success

[Lloyd Duval @lloydduval99]

@notdvb Bro just triggered a lot of people with that statement 👀
