Have you tried the Ask Studio? It looks pretty cool. Saw Sean Cannel talking about it. The fact it has access to not only your channel's videos but also the comments is very exciting. How? I asked it what it suggests my next video topic be about, and it based it's answer on my channel's past 90 days results. The suggestion was not surprising and I am making that video next. (Today) You can access this tool in your YouTube studio, upper right side, thru that black star. Let's see what happens 🤨 📍Update: the video posted this morning and in the first hour and a half it's ranking number two of my last 10. But I must say it is not the topic I really want to talk about which is basically Social Security. I think it was suggested because there is so much wondering, worry, interest, etc. about it.

My name is Rozani (Pronounced Rose On Knee) and I thought it would be nice to be a part of Karen’s delightful community. I’m interested in YouTube topics that help our channels grow in visibility. Perhaps I’ll be able to contribute some tidbits that I’ve learned along the way. My channel is @rozanidesignsmasquerade7050 Here’s looking forward to making your acquaintance. 😀

As promised, here is what 2 channel reviews taught me about my channel and the changes I've just made. Our channels are living breathing things and constantly evolving so these changes aren't perfect but they are progress in the direction I want to go. One review was at VidSummit: a 20 minute free consultation by a member of the 1of10.com team. They also have a YT channel @ 1of10pod. The other review was by Claire Sara when she was offering free reviews to some of her newsletter subbies. Her channel is @ ClaireSara and she makes really cool vids. Their feedback rang true with me so I was excited to implement their suggestions. As is my usual scrappy style, here is the email I sent to Claire to let her know I had taken action. I need to tighten up ‘YouTube Over 40’ niche. When people look at my channel it isn't clear exactly what my channel is about. Is it vlogs? Superheroes? (actually it is!) YouTube growth tips? Look to use YT community posts area Post posts more frequently Look at livestream comments for clues on videos to make. What problems are people trying to solve? Do relatable updates on anything for YouTubers Over 40 that I have found helpful because others will find this info helpful too I own some tech so make easy to follow videos how to set it up and use it (the kind of video I love) Reinstate 'Home' page tab that is first on our tabs when we go to a channel - can use this to put the most recent video in there or an intro video Can put posts in the Home page! Look into this Don’t be afraid to repeat things I have made in a different way Don’t be afraid to make videos about things like updates - it doesn’t matter that Kevin Kolbe made a video about YouTube updates or whatever. If there are 5 YouTube updates I am excited about and will use, I can make a video about that (and then use them) PROBLEM: It is unclear what my channel is about, is it a vlogging channel is it about YouTube growth? ACTION TAKEN: Unlisted all 10 of my non-niche videos (personal vlogs, Deadpool, eggs for breakfast…

I have watched and met some of the best creators through this welcoming group. If you have extra time, watch each others videos. I think you’ll find some of the best content creators on YouTube. We’ll be able to say, “we knew them when.”

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. Newbie is a little misleading since I’m 70. New to this group. How’s that? I started my channel, Mike in Retirement, two months ago. I’ve had another channel where I tech tutorials that’s been going since 2019 but I wanted a way to talk about real life too, so I started Mike in Retirement. I’m glad to be here and I look forward to being a part of this community.
