Sam asked me to keep his channels anonymus due to fear of increasing competition in his niches, which has lead to a few people questioning whether he's legit (which, in a world full of fake internet gurus, is completely understandable). Sam recorded this video to prove his legitimacy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5eC-Yj_REMk.html Beyond that, I've met Sam in person and have seen all the analytics from his channels, so I can say with 100% assurance that Sam is who he says he is, and has done what he says he's done. Hope this helps clarify things!

@freakingduos2993 Месяц назад

Bro tbh ur conent what ever u post even if i dont create videos i love ur content , just for curiosity and basic know how i watch all ur long video even tho i dont create...nd about the sam thing its right i can understnd i alsp had a doubt for sec ,if he is genuine or not but its really does not matters oneday or other some one will find that niche nd boom its gone so ita a cycle will keep on repeating iykyk what i mean😂

Is his content for children though? Because I can't imagine adults or even teens commenting on what time it is or other random questions.

@DrGamerJa Месяц назад

I've been posting Shorts consistently for almost a year now and I can relate to everything Sam has said despite my channel having less than 50k subscribers. His approach and recommendations could have only come from someone who has significant experience with content creation. I'm convinced he is legit

@TaipeiEats Месяц назад

Brilliant and Thank you for the tips on the interview, From your point of view, Do you think food delivery channel is still a niche channel?

@vaniliina1 Месяц назад

So far, here are my notes: 1. Create videos that could be posted onto your competitor's channels, and no one would notice ( look at the most viral videos and take bits and pieces of it to create your own video) 2. Being completely unique these days is impossible. 3. Make the hook where you want something unexpected. But your goal is to deliver the message by the end of the video 4. Say something funny and people probably would notice that and go point that out in the comments. 5. Universal challenges-throw it straight and ask people sth that could apply to everyone (name, age, country, time)-this could get more comments. 6. Quality and the idea of the video are important 7. Average view duration around 80% is what you aim at 8. Audio quality and the length of video matter( also pay attention to how often the visuals change) 9. You're always aiming for quality (could it be video or audio) * those are just a few insights, there are surely more points introduced in the video

@RockAim Месяц назад

Thanks! ❤️

@InfoSnacksOfficial Месяц назад

Well now they are my notes too 🤣

@TheCroin Месяц назад

The thing is every video on the platform and everywhere for that matter all have the same stuff - keep people interested, get them to watch to the end, like, comment and sub on it. That is literally it. And everyone tries to over complicate it. I can find you the dumbest shit in existence that has 10m+ views and a really well put together vid that took 30hours+ that has less than 10k. I dislike the fact that no one ever mentions their channels. Like I can rent a studio, buy rip off youtube gold buttons, put em far in the back and no one would be any the wiser. I could then lie my ass off and sell a 100$ course to any dumbass that would bite. Shit is ridiculous, when you step back and look at it realistically it's god awful just how much people lie nowadays.

@travelwithrussell 22 дня назад

Brilliant listening to him, he mentioned RU-vidrs not adapting, well that's not always the case, unlike himself people fall in love with the character (the youtuber) creating the content so even if this person does not adapt that much they are still getting hundreds of thousands of views and subscribers. Himself is not that character as he relies on copying and recycling, he'll never be that character, how long can you keep that up for i don't know but good luck to him.

@ianjunitedk Месяц назад

As a Digital Marketeer (15 years plus) , I think it's important to look at the bigger picture. Where does your money come from, what is most likely to make you money, and additionally, what is the reason you are on RU-vid seeing as so many people are all seemingly trying to achuieve the same ends. Dont lose endless time and hours pushing RU-vid if its something else that gives you the money, the freedom and the life you want. There is a lot of conflicting information out there and its important to figure out whats right for you. (Not just because everyone is trying to start RU-vid channels for stardom etc )

@samyt.23 Месяц назад

I couldn't agree more! RU-vid definitely is not for everyone and only some out of the 1000s of people trying will actually make it work. But I do believe if you are looking into content creation or even creating a brand, social media and especially RU-vid is where it's all at right now.👍

Obviously it would have to be very good content that already exists from somewhere?
