YouTubers Productivity Fix With 1 Simple Decision 

Another fantastic video Gabriel, thank you

I am a "Quality over Quantity" creator with 100k subs, and uploads about two videos per year. Your video came in my feed, and I found it to be a great advice, hence commenting. The biggest issue of making a masterpiece is the time-commitment it requires. My videos take months to make. But, now you have just one chance of it working or failing. And, now your bar of success is no longer 10k-20k views. Instead you would need 1 million views+ for it to make it worth the time. Getting that consistently as a new creator is going to be hard. In my case, all my videos have excellent metrics, yet three videos failed to grow due to algorithm. First one, I posted during covid, about covid, and youtube had some hidden filter to not spread covid related videos. Second video was about 2020-disasters. RU-vid 18+ed my video when it was going viral and demonetized it. I had to reupload it 3 times with censoring for it to work, even though there was no footage that was 18+ in that video. Third one was about Ukraine war. It still has the highest performance metrics of any video in my channel. But, youtube algorithm has secret keywords they ban at certain times, and this video was hit due to that. RU-vid provided near zero views to that video. All views I got was from people coming to channel and clicking it, or from my own promotion. For new creators who has no idea how to create good content, I would suggest to be consistent first. You will learn how to make good videos only after making 10-20 videos and learning from the mistakes of each one. Then, after that start trying to make one masterpiece every few months. Every creator learned it this way, even if when you look at their channel you only see masterpieces, you are not seeing all the other work they have done in the past. You are not seeing all the abandoned projects. Like, it would take 10x more time to just decide what topic to make your masterpiece on. It will take few false starts and abandoning projects because it is not viable. I have 5-6 videos I have made 90% the way, and then abandoned it. RU-vid is now highly saturated, there are 4 billlion videos here, but if you try to make masterpiece from the first video itself, you are probably not going to last long, because your first video is unlikely to be a masterpiece even if you put months of effort. The most optimal way done by almost all youtubers is to have dozens of normal videos and one masterpiece every now and then. I personally am not able to do that since I am kindof a perfectionist, and when I start a project I think it will only take couple of weeks, but ends up taking significantly more time than expected. And it has been difficult to be consistent. A tip I have is that if you are starting out, focus on just two things. Script and Audio. The script should be well written, and information density should be high. Secondly, Audio should be well done. If you are unable to narrate yourself, hire someone. But audio is critically important. Add some music or sound effects to make the audio even better. Visuals doesnt matter much, so don't focus on it. Sticking to one topic and be the king of that topic is also an awesome strategy, but I have not been able to do that at all. The thing is, I am interested in a lot of fields, and when you feel that urge to create, in my case, it is often in differing fields. So, when you are making to satisfy your own urges rather than making for someone else, you end up doing things that are not the optimal correct path. In my opinion, create for yourself first, and that is often the only way to create masterpieces because you will otherwise get bored after few weeks of hardworrk if you are creating something in a boring topic for someone else.

Very solid and valuable advice.... Great video Gabriel...👍

Sage advice here. If there is any justice in the digital world....this video should get a ton of views :) Great work Gabriel!

Gabriel, excellent video. This all makes sense

ey man, super glad i found you, your vids about the sony zv-e10 are super helpful. So thank you for uploading.

Thank you Gabriel for your insight to producing videos. My wife is starting a Talking head style of videos. The information you provided is unquestionably insightful.

The problem is in RU-vid's algorithms. It does not value quality. It values quantity and uniformity.

As time has went on I think it is the best combination of the 2, get as much quality in a video as you can in the time frame that suits you. I have always tried to do 1 a week (have had gaps and time off) and I believe doing at least 1 a week has allowed me to grow and get much better at it, as well as find out what sticks and what doesn't. At first It would take me 2 days to record a video, till I got more comfortable, editing though is about the same amount of time when I started to now, though now I can definitely edit better. If I hadn't went for 1 video a week I think this would of taking me longer to learn, and I do not think I would be seeing the current success I am getting from videos that are sticking with my audience. I still try other videos here and there to try and see if I can get multiple types to work with my audience, so that is still a learning curve, but it is all in the fun of it as well. Another awesome insightful video, thank you :)

And this one, concerning "the masterpiece" is about me as well) I will try to be more consistent)

🙋🏼‍♂️🇪🇦 Gracias por compartir esto Gabriel. 🤗🤗🤗👋

Thank you, I have been thinking about this a lot, and I needed to hear this.

Hii sir do you need Video Editor? I can help you to save your Crucial time throughout my editing skills

Now you need to teach us how to get more hours out of the day to actually MAKE videos! Those of us that have to work full time to support buying gear etc don't have time to be consistent or high quality!
