One things you guys haven't touched on yet (and something that greatly affects our channel) is if you leave auto-dubbing ON, you cannot go back in and add YT music/audio tracks to your video once it's done processing. I usually pepper in a few YT songs to our videos but was not able to do that on our last 2 uploads until i went into settings and channel upload defaults and unchecked the auto-dubbing "feature". I now have to re-upload those same 2 videos if i want to add music. Kinda stupid feature quirk.
The biggest challenge our channel has had over the last 2 years is what language to make the title and thumbnail in because we speak 3 different languages in our videos. The majority of our viewers are from Indonesia. If I make the title & thumbnail only in Bahasa Indonesia, then it limits who might click on it. I also make subtitles for 3 languages in all of our videos, and it is very time consuming. Translating and making subtitles usually takes 3 days. The person who sent you an email saying they post a video in English and one in their native language - I just don't know how they would have time to do that, so time consuming!
One thing to think about when it comes to auto dubbing. Brands like to see a high percentage of your views coming from USA and Canada. They will often ask to see your demographics. I am able to land some decent size deals based on my 92% USA and Canadian viewers. If that percentage goes down it will reduce my value to brands. Just my 2 cents incase you cooperate with brands.
Getting SO close to 500 subscribers, AFTER 9 years! Thanks for all the great advice VidIQ!! To all the creators out there grinding and chasing dreams, this is where we rise together. Every bit of support helps build something bigger-every click, every connection, every milestone. Let’s turn hard work into something unforgettable as we push toward the next big goal!
I'm an estate agent in France doing TH-cam for my business. To do this I watch a lot of US based content, some UK based stuff and obviously French based content. And to be honest, Real Estate videos ( listing videos or info videos) are totally different in every country, not because of the types of houses, but the filming style. Keeping it simple for the listing videos for example, US are well presented staged walk throughs set to music, UK is hand held walkthroughs with the agent talking and France is very much unstagged hand held phone videos, but the french are starting to do more on the social media buzz side, but are still at the "argh!!" stage!
nah it kinda makes sense and works how all content works the only issue is that finding shorts in search is harder than longform. but the way it works is still show it to people, see how it performs, if people arent really viewing it or dont really seem to like it then stop showing it in feeds, if someone finds it in search and enjoys it then they start showing the video again in feeds whether the shorts feed for shorts or the recommended section for longform. if it didnt work like this and it just constantly showed shorts over and over again no matter what then they would just become view farms and would end with a lot more shortform content that just isnt gud because there would be way less reason to actually try.
There was a youtuber who was putting out negative vids, so I muted their channel. They turned around and stopped it, I'm back to watching again. I even said thank you for approaching the topic in a positive way.
Well when I go to a channel, usually their most popular VIDS are Negative Vids. So that isn't going to change much, anytime soon. What is just a bad, fake positive channels. There has to be a Middle Ground somewhere in between.
As of now it seems that the auto dubbing can significantly drop the quality of the original work and even change the meaning or confuse viewers. For instance we have a video featuring Dick Van Dyke and the Spanish Auto dub had a female voice for Dick Van Dykes iconic voice. I laughed but then turned of the Auto dub feature for the channel as it was so bad. If you were releasing a film or TV show I can't imagine accepting this level of dubbing.
I watch TH-cam on my TV almost exclusively. I am forever thankful for the 1.5/2x speed. I seldom watch or listen to videos that are not speeded up. I even watch YT movies at 1.25x. I don’t create but do consume alot. I don’t have anything to make videos on that I think people would want to watch or that hasn’t already been done a ton.
Love this video. There is a lot to consider here especially with short form content. I have noticed a lot of the idol games lives happening like you have on tiktok where they move balls from one lane to another, or stack objects etc. So there seems to be the flow from ticktock to yt.
this is one of the funnest videos you have made. I was expecting to just get info and quickly leave but you kept me entertained and engaged for more. thanks
We saw about 400 views in the past 28 days from the new dubbing feature. In all but one case, the watch time was higher than our standard. One was nearly double! However, 400 views is about 0.14% of our total views.
I started out doing DIY content, and would spend a week editing each video. One day I didn't have a video to load, and I was trying to keep to a schedule, so I shot a stupid video of me on a riding lawnmower. You guessed it, my highest watched video by far. It actually depressed me a little, because I do NOT want to make lawnmowers my niche!
I used to watch TH-cam on my TV but now that the ad-segments run for over a minute before you can skip I've given up. Sorry, YT is now just like broadcast TV and by pushing ads so hard they have destroyed the value proposition. I'm also ditching Prime Video because here in New Zealand they've also screwed the value proposition by constantly plugging other services and filling the listings with 50 percent of titles that are only available to rent or buy -- despite my monthly subscription. Greed will be the downfall of all these platforms (eventually).
@@1monagale Yeah, but it still has endless sponsor spots embedded in videos. Nord VPN, Manscaper, etc,etc, etc. Also, around these parts, a YT Premium subscription costs more than Netflix and PrimeVideo combined. Just not worth it.
Almost at 1k and i just want to say TH-cam is definitely a hard platform to grow on for a gaming channel but i love it and after my first year of building i can say im in my comfort zone. Consistency and focus is the key. Happy new year to everyone and hope everyone is prosperous in 2025!!
Thanks for the shout out for long form videos. We take 5 minute bible studies, prophetic dreams, and Christian Dream Interpretation and turn them into movies - so your video really speaks to me. The pressure to come up with some kind of sensational headlines for often non-sensational videos is frustrating. (new channel so still learning everything)
Loved the discussion on over editing and why some of our best vids are the ones we gave the least effort. I used to lead engineers and frequently had learned very quickly that many were so afraid of failure they would never finish a project. I applied the principle of build some and test a lot to keep them on task and schedule. I apply the same concept to my vids. Frequently good enough is good enough.
So the videos I have put the most effort into (ideation, production, editing) have ultimately gotten the most views. Not initially, but overtime, they took off and became evergreen content. The quick videos tend to do well initially but then die off.
So, I am a Spanish speaker, but all my TH-cam is in English. Sometimes I get offered Spanish TH-camrs, so I watch if it's interesting. I saw a channel that I know is in Spanish, and I was going to watch it, but!!! It was in English with a really bad (uncanny valley) AI voice in English, and I was like, WTF? I thought he did that himself. It was so strange to me, but I think it's cool because now he will have more opportunities to reach new viewers.
Hola! Igual yo. Mi canal es en español, pero la mayoría de contenido que consumo es en inglés. Últimamente he tratado de apoyar más los TH-camrs de mi país. No me gustan las voces IA para nada; hubo un TH-camr en español que hizo lo mismo que dices y yo le dejé un comentario de que prefiero su voz natural y él de hecho me agradeció y volvió a hacer los videos con su propia voz.
As a viewer, I often find the less edited videos feel more natural and personal then the ones that are heavily edited. So, depending on the content, I think that the relatableness of the video is what's getting the views.
21:03 No, but seriously, children's songs with an animation video can get CRAZY views. Just look at nursery rhymes channels. Except I guess that content made for children gets way less money per million views because of the lack of targeted advertising.
Thanks to everyone who supported me through the year! 10 months in at 410! Going to get monetized in 18 months! 8 months to go! Let’s see if I can keep the momentum!?!
I feel like TH-cam Dramas are becoming, those insider breakdowns on celebrities lives, you watch on Netflix, in 2025 for TH-cam. I Do think that good amount of new creators in 2025, will start their Channels with breakdown popular TH-camrs. And make that some kind of side hustle to get lot of money because it’s popular!!
27:00 and this btw is why you shouldn't bother taking advice from this channel if you're a small niche content creator. Just do you and don't worry about going viral. Cause these same people were like "this will be huge!" and now they're like meh. So if you just do whatever they say works you'll just end up spinning your wheels because it works for them, not you. Stay small, stay you!
TH-cam creator of three small channels. I absolutely hate the long short format. One of my channels is shot vertical (tarot card flip thru) and range between 2 to 5 minutes. It’s forcing me to use long shorts. So now I have to explore what to do with my videos to keep it in the format that I’m happy with. Also for your stats, I watch all my YT on the television.
Unfortunately, I'm getting the same negative vibe that Rob brought up around 33 minutes in. The scary part is I see that in the news and other social network. So I'm worried that we as people are just getting more negative. I do my best to moderate what I can in my channel. But I see it run rough shod in other channels.
December has been kind to this small channel! Only 408 subs, but pulled 51 hours yesterday alone! My best month so far as far as view hours, views, and subscribers! Excited for the new year!
One thing that appeals to me and I heard it from a youtuber I follow, can't remember who it was, but one of the recommendation was to actually go and interview people live or virtual. This was more in relation to documentary style videos, which I am aiming to do, but also I think podcast style talking to people is more engaging than a talking head. Even the more charismatic people, like Neil degras tysen with his startalk often interviews people. Besides it's more motivating than just trying to come up with ways to make just talking to the camera more interesting. So that's my focus this coming year 2025. Interview people. Have a wonderful new year guys and see you on the other side.
I just posted my first vlog-style video today and it’s a new 1 of 10! This video makes me want to create a documentary-style or longer form video. Thank you for the inspiration!
I have a question, as I am a small and newly monetized content creator from Canada. As of late there has been talks about Tarriffs on goods. Would this affect Canadian and other content creators abroad or not working in the United States. I recently went through the process of submitting my tax and treaty information on Adsense and I am aware that a chunk of my revenue from US Viewer ship is with held and I don't get that revenue. Upon reflecting on that I said could Tarriffs affect my channel further since I am exporting my Canadian channel content to US Viewers. Another reason why I came to this thought process, is that Trump is asking the Supreme court to hold off on Tiktok ban. He is a business man so he might say sure you can stay in America but i want to Tarriff your content. This as a content creator would make me looking at this further and also consider where i want to post my content. Also I would expect platforms to give me more freedom to push content to other countries or potentially look at companies locally in Canada or based in other countries to promote my content that is not behind a Tarriff wall.
I think A/B testing is very flawed. I think it's cool if you want to test new designs, or maybe you have multiple designs, BUT. I personally, as a test subject, noticed a video with one thumbnail and I chose to watch a different video in my homepage "suggested section" first. When I came back to my "suggested section" of my homepage, the same video had a different thumbnail, and it was one I liked less. I was torn, because I didn't want to not watch the video, but I also didn't want to "vote" for that thumbnail. So, I provided TH-cam with an anecdotal support for one thumbnail and it was only because I chose to watch the video later. If this happened to me, I assure you it will happen to others as well.
I make short form content and long form content on my channel. I prefer short form content for my niche, and its more fun/easier for me to make, which I like. I know there is a huge difference in revenue short form vs long, but do you think YT would update that? I know they have increased it a little bit, but if they are trying to capture the TT market, it seems like their short form revenue model would need to change to keep up. I'm not too concerned, but I'm pretty much banking on them showing more love to shorts.
I'm going to upload a bunch more shorts next year. I actually stopped uploading shorts since I somehow got less views than my widescreen videos for some reason. I'm going to make different shorts that are even shorter and slower paced with a crazy song that everyone uses for hybrid animals. I want some views of the hybrid animal pile since I'm the only one who does more than make some videos. I allow people to actually collect every hybrid animal picture in my videos and rank on a leaderboard where they can win a game sometimes.
Dang I got a video block in one territory and it's partially block can delete it or just leave it. Because I don't how I got blocked in one territory did some editing and some how I got blocked.i don't want to leave it up there it's annoying when you have something like that on your video.
Thank you so much for these incredibly useful insights! Regarding auto-dubbing, first email is particularly interesting, especially in how this feature might influence the choice of a channel's language, potentially shifting it to be more culturally aligned with the content rather than solely based on audience size. What advice would you give on choosing a channel's language in 2025?
I’ve had one video that I just recorded when I got into a moment, All you need to know is that I recorded and uploaded it without any editing or planning and it landed me 135 subs and it landed me 57k views
I just started a channel and I don't know anything about computers, just let AI make the music and loaded it up. No videos yet, just some music, which is unbelievable, so people with zero knowledge can at least get started. Would appreciate any comments how to make the actual videos though....
i wish every small creator a prosperous 2025 🎉✌️

Upon reflecting on that I said could Tarriffs affect my channel further since I am exporting my Canadian channel content to US Viewers.
Another reason why I came to this thought process, is that Trump is asking the Supreme court to hold off on Tiktok ban. He is a business man so he might say sure you can stay in America but i want to Tarriff your content.
This as a content creator would make me looking at this further and also consider where i want to post my content. Also I would expect platforms to give me more freedom to push content to other countries or potentially look at companies locally in Canada or based in other countries to promote my content that is not behind a Tarriff wall.
Hoping I can be a part of the future of youtube someday 😊 best of luck everyone! Don't ever give up 😊

@iamnotplayinggameshere Much love! I Really Appreciate It 🙏
I think A/B testing is very flawed. I think it's cool if you want to test new designs, or maybe you have multiple designs, BUT. I personally, as a test subject, noticed a video with one thumbnail and I chose to watch a different video in my homepage "suggested section" first. When I came back to my "suggested section" of my homepage, the same video had a different thumbnail, and it was one I liked less. I was torn, because I didn't want to not watch the video, but I also didn't want to "vote" for that thumbnail. So, I provided TH-cam with an anecdotal support for one thumbnail and it was only because I chose to watch the video later. If this happened to me, I assure you it will happen to others as well.
I make short form content and long form content on my channel. I prefer short form content for my niche, and its more fun/easier for me to make, which I like. I know there is a huge difference in revenue short form vs long, but do you think YT would update that? I know they have increased it a little bit, but if they are trying to capture the TT market, it seems like their short form revenue model would need to change to keep up. I'm not too concerned, but I'm pretty much banking on them showing more love to shorts.
You can't start off perfect, and TH-cam starts judging you from your first upload. Improvement takes time!
Jenn, you're not alone. I prefer "harvest corn", but there is nothing wrong with candy corn! ;)
Thank you vidIQ! Goodluck to us small TH-camrs out there.
I just saw latest video from "Make Money Matt" and it was auto-dubbed by TH-cam into like 5 other languages.
I'm going to upload a bunch more shorts next year. I actually stopped uploading shorts since I somehow got less views than my widescreen videos for some reason. I'm going to make different shorts that are even shorter and slower paced with a crazy song that everyone uses for hybrid animals. I want some views of the hybrid animal pile since I'm the only one who does more than make some videos. I allow people to actually collect every hybrid animal picture in my videos and rank on a leaderboard where they can win a game sometimes.
New creators you got this!
Awesome edit!
I can't understand wt content use
Small TH-camrs gather hear ❤❤❤

Super excited to see where 2025 will take the big TH-camrs as well as in what direction new TH-camrs will go in as well.
Dang I got a video block in one territory and it's partially block can delete it or just leave it. Because I don't how I got blocked in one territory did some editing and some how I got blocked.i don't want to leave it up there it's annoying when you have something like that on your video.
thanks for thi VidIQ, We need more information on longer shorts
Thank y'all for 46 subs
You dropped off a bit, I’ll help you back up!
@cosmicgamingunlimited thanks bro
Awesome video!! I have not created a video in 3 years. I am revamping and get back in TH-cam very soon.
Thank you so much for these incredibly useful insights! Regarding auto-dubbing, first email is particularly interesting, especially in how this feature might influence the choice of a channel's language, potentially shifting it to be more culturally aligned with the content rather than solely based on audience size. What advice would you give on choosing a channel's language in 2025?
I’ve had one video that I just recorded when I got into a moment,
All you need to know is that I recorded and uploaded it without any editing or planning and it landed me 135 subs and it landed me 57k views
Oh God please we still hope as young TH-camrs that 2025 is going to favour us more🤲
I just started a channel and I don't know anything about computers, just let AI make the music and loaded it up. No videos yet, just some music, which is unbelievable, so people with zero knowledge can at least get started.
Would appreciate any comments how to make the actual videos though....
I have been making content for 2 months and i am almost to 100 subs! Couldn't have done it without you guys!
Great informative video! Lots of advice and ideas!❤
Love this video
Let’s go boys!!!!! 2024!!!
Exclusively tv. I wanna see it properly, not squinting on a "small" screen
