I have had my channel on a sort of effective hiatus. But I miss it. RU-vid hits so much of the things I find in my other interests that it is like creative crack. Writing. Storytelling. Helping people. Using different things together (visuals, writing, presentation, etc). As some of my other interests wane I am finding myself drawn back in 😁
Totally agree with this. Wherever you are, I have faith if you just keep going it will all work out. Best of luck to all the other channels out there trying to figure this thing out! We got this
@@LimitlessReset Yeah, the three things make sense, but the percentages don't. Many people are "mathematically challenged" and don't even notice that this doesn't add up. And keep up with the cooking 😋
@@ResearchingRU-vidhe was listing attributes of successful videos. So you could have curiosity AND fear. So it’s not like you can only have one, and that’s why they don’t equal 100%. How’s just showing how many videos share these attributes.
I love watching Jay's video. He seems so humble, doesn't interrupt & asks the right question. He really does put himself in the viewers shoes and asks questions.
Make comment word clouds of the comments' sections of your competitors! That'll show you what people want and are responding to in your niche super quick
vidIQ plugin is very helpful too. I might subscribe to it for $19 a month. It can automatically rewrite your titles based on titles that would perform better. I tested it on 3 videos and it helped a lot.
I’d actually disagree with “only do what works”. My top video ever (1.3 million) was something I’d never done before and is not that popular in my niche. the same with some of my other top videos. Try a mix of tried and true and new formats.
I have no experience, but it stands to reason that the best idea is first to replicate, then to iterate. It sounds like you've gotten to understand through replication enough to the point that you're able to iterate
I'm not sure that's what he's saying. I just think that it's about finding inspiration in other niches as well as your own. Finding what works in every niche.
I didn't actually read the title of this video. I saw the text on the video, and recognised him from a previous video you made. And clicked because I wanted to watch something. Interesting
I’ve always loved your interviews with Jake. Thanks again for an amazing video. These topics about titles and thumbnails helped me get my first few viral for me videos. Thanks again!
Modeling what works is the recepie for sucess on RU-vid! This is a completely different perspective on RU-vid titles than what everyone on RU-vid is talking about. Thanks for the video! 🎉
Jay, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the exhaustion of negative titles. Negativity, drama, and fear may get you to click, but my videos have little negativity, drama, or fear. I appreciate the recommendation to look for inspiration out of my niche.
Titles, thumbnails and editing togther cannot beat content. Lately a trained surgeon who decided to live in the wild went viral with 0 editing, crappy sound m, no edited thumbnail. YT decides what and who to promote or shadow ban. Titles, thumbnails and editing are important but less than topic and content.
It's very difficult to draw a conclusion like the one he mentions at 3:30 about what works best regarding the relationship between a thumbnail/title... The example he used was buying land vs. buying a foreclosed house. The search volume of buying land is exponentially more than buying a foreclosed property. What that tells me is the overall demand is much much lower for the foreclosed topic, hence you can expect the overall traffic to be lower as well. All of that to say, I'm not a RU-vid video expert...
Thank you for this video 🤝. I am experiencing exactly what you said in my last videos, and I am learning more and more. SO exciting! For me, the most important part is understanding my mistakes from the past.
Learning so much from this! Trending! I've built a running track on my interior build of the Starship Enterprise, I should have titled the video ' The Olympics on board the Starship Enterprise!' or something like that for the recent Olympics! Thanks for the great content!
Ugh! I hate clickbait titles. I appreciate the need for them. But I refuse to click a clickbait title even if the content looks great. I'm so tired of reading "My best title advice yet..." and then next week it's "My best title advice ever!". Clever clickbait is good. That being said, my titles have been pretty boring. Thanks for the advice. Time to spice it up a little.
I'm a Brit, and noticed a character in Desperate Housewives once said it correctly, so I deduced most Amsericans DO know how it's pronounced. It just seems to be a lot of internet marketers who pronounce it "Nitch"!
I resonate with your tentativeness around using fear in titles. I know it makes people click. But all else equal, I want a world with LESS fear in it. Fear jacks up our nervous system, and causes us to think more narrowly. It does seem questionable to me to create fear where it need not exist. (This all depending of course on the topic of the piece of content. An article about seatbelts might be a great time to use fear in a title)
1/3 into this video and so many chances you could have actually given us the before title and after title or concrete examples of titles and missed to do it 8:46
Yes, you’re correct. RU-vid is a game and I don’t know if I will succeed or not, but it’s fun and I learn video editing skills. That’s all that matters.
Great tips🎉I keep mine the same because it’s working then test different topics in the vid to See how well they perform..plan to post those topics soon
Regarding negative angle, I would occasionally click those, eventually fed up and took time to click "do not recommend channel" for everything that is political, negative news and etc. I don't need that in my life. My youtube feed is so much better now.
Your oldest title was way more representative : Meet the Man Who Solved RU-vid Titles (Jake Thomas Interview). I was about to send the video to someone (I remembered you did this video) and almost scrolled pass throuhg it..
@@minma02262 lol all im saying is I analyze every video based on my target market. if it takes you 59 videos it seems like your'e not paying attention.
This title in itself is based upon a template. I’ve seen many times 99% something…. It seems like 20% of the titles in RU-vid have this 99% so this title is probably among those 99% that you referred to.
excellent advice. so much of it is human psychology when it comes to thumbnails and titles.- if your a content creator or entrepreneur then youll love my channel. showing the reality behind entrepreneurship and helping content creators grow.
Agree. We’re a small channel started by my wife and me, aiming to bring you insights from experts in Leadership and Health. We’re deeply grateful for our amazing subscribers who support our dream. While growth can be slow and challenging, we remain optimistic and are committed to delivering great content. To all new creators-keep pushing forward, team!
Your title is *too long* and so is your long form video, therefore the complete opposite of people's time. You now currently have *_15K_* views, within 3 weeks. I did that in _3 hours,_ with a *brand new* channel.
Oof Jay, I haven't copied anyone yet I'm still making mistakes because I'm not sure how to expand my channel through my title because it's the title of the book that on reading.
Ok when we use text on thumb we use a trigger to click that strikes audience's value which they seek for in the video.. if he seek for an info then use do or dont do this ... Or you will be.. or this is how it works or how you can be) do /make ... Or this is how you can do .... But what if the audience seek entertainment ... Sure u will just choose a great scene or cut and describe it like ... He want to kill me .... That man tried to .... No one beat him .... I found a treasure ...you just trigger audience wants with a curious way
Would it not be faster, and perhaps a bit more ethical, to simply subscribe to everyone’s channel who comments on this video and have all return the favor? On the current count, that would be over 1000 new subscribers instantly and take a lot less time than to upload 50shorts a day for who knows how long? Who’s in? Let’s do this guys❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Jay , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
