You’re too obsessed with some pixels on a screen

  • Welcome, early adopters.
    I'm currently testing something. The following may or may not have been written by a robot;
    In this video, we’re diving deep into the strategy behind growing a TH-cam channel by focusing on True Fans instead of chasing massive view counts. We’ll explore why aiming for millions of views might not be the best approach for content creators and how a more targeted strategy can lead to sustainable growth. Inspired by Ryan Trahan’s success, and insights from books like ‘Crossing the Chasm,’ this video is a must-watch for any creator looking to build a dedicated audience and scale their message effectively.

    Thank You! This is a really good reminder for creators of Any size, to focus on making actually good content that appeals to your core audience, rather than trying to please the algorithms. Your audience will be able to see the difference and they'll support your better in the long run.

    I don’t understand why your channel hasn’t blown up yet, because all the ingredients are there. It certainly will. That said, you have a great loyal core viewer base…some of whom would already be willing to pay you for channel coaching / mentoring if you went that way. I would.

    when i see a huge youtuber, instead of seeing their millions of views, i genuinely now just see their (usually) incredible content. i think its finding a way to make incredible content that people should shoot for. great vid

    I've had this mindset for a while. I always compare 20k views to selling out my favorite NHL team's arena. It's a good mindset to have.

    Love this analogy to the early adopters.
    While I have a very clear picture in mind who my ideal audience is I also set a goal for reaching a ridiculous number of views because that's what makes creators successful. Right?
    I'm planing a new season of content right now and I'll definitely keep this advice in mind.

  • @Cilreilly
    @Cilreilly หลายเดือนก่อน

    As a creator who got millions of views off my content and also attended a convention where I was on stage in fronts of 100s of people. I can absolutely say being on stage had a much bigger impact. It's so hard to quantify the views in terms of people when it's such a high number.

    • @thejayalto
      @thejayalto  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Really is - we think 100k is nothing on TH-cam. It’s an absolutely insane number of people.

  • @VoloBuilds
    @VoloBuilds หลายเดือนก่อน

    Really good point about focusing on the initial adopters/early market first rather than aiming for the mass market right away.
    I remember I made a comment on your past video that was actually pretty similar to that Kanye quote lol but I actually see what you mean now and think you're right in trying to get that initial traction instead of jumping to unrealistic expectations.

    1:32 I know I'm not the one to talk but I have an objection abt what you said. Mrbeast ludwig and marquess made a videos predicting their success and how they were gonna get were they are now. They said that they set a high checkpoints to reach and they prepare their videos as if they were recording for that many people. I wish it is easier in practice than speech lol.

    • @thejayalto

      But even the outliers started with die hard fans first. Without that, everything is built on shaky foundations.

    I think Kanye's quote applies in effort put in, not expectation of said effort. Hes saying giving it your all guarantees success of some kind, the quote never intended monetary success to be in the equation

  • @thedavidboland
    @thedavidboland หลายเดือนก่อน

    I feel like a view online is not comparable to a real world audience member. There’s next to no skin in the game when all a viewer needs to do is click a thumbnail & probably only watch a few seconds or minutes. Someone in a physical audience is likely to have a different relationship to an artist/creator/speaker that’s been cultivated over time.
    Also, how much money someone is going to earn from speaking to 1000 people at an event vs getting 1000 views on a video will likely vary and demonstrates how the relationship is quite different.
    As an artist I’ve busked to hundreds of people that happened to be walking by, I’ve had hundreds of thousands of people watch my content, and I’ve played music to 10 people around a campfire who were singing along. The campfire meant more to me than everything else.

  • @perry.playss
    @perry.playss หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    while i agree with your general message and what you're trying to get across, i think it's important to not let a small audience dictate your general outlook of what your content should or shouldn't be. of course, their feedback is something you shouldn't take lightly but i think having a plan of what you want to achieve long term is important because it helps you stay on a path that allows you to make necessary changes and improvements without losing sight of your goal. people will never understand your vision so their opinions aren't always valid.

    • @thejayalto
      @thejayalto  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I like this. Balancing feedback is a fascinating topic in its own right. Probably make a video on it soon.

    Obsession with pixels on a screen can trap us in illusions.
    As Plato said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Let’s unplug, reflect, and live in the REAL world. 🌍
    Focus on what truly matters-growth, purpose, and human connection. Embrace reality, not the screen!
