I am so thankful for reaching 600 subscribers in 3 weeks today and 23k views, the power of the algorithm is REAL. This is without any proper promotion, just sticking to my strategy.

I dunno, I definitely wasn't going through that link though, just woke up and having my coffee but when I'm ready to start figuring things out I'll give it a try.
Hope gets sorted man really hope it works for you

Yeah that's why I think I'll just take a "feel free to give me requests AND IF I LIKE THE IDEA I'll do them" approach.
Same as what I am going for now, I want requests and will do ones related to the strategy but if its too random then absolutely not. As much as I would love to I need to keep in mind that going so off my strategy could kill the momentum of the channel

On my new channel a lot of the first videos seemed to underperform with a specific title structure so today I decided to retitled them and jig the title up to match the format of the best performers. I see it as the videos were already dead so may as well see if can improve how they perform with a small title change. Anyone else tried this as saw any kind of success, maybe an improved CTR? I guess at least they will match the rest of the titles.

yea doesn't matter short length as far as I know, shorts in general make 10x less money per view but you get alot more views to make up for it.
Nice one, it does seem theyre worthwhile doing now.
Yeah I'm really feeling like I need to get into the hooky short form content game I'm just not sure what to do. When I sing I sometimes make crazy faces and do all kinds of weird stuff I wonder if a few seconds of some of those takes could be good or even guitar clips or something. I'm still not sure if I should let all the weird hang out or try to present a more approachable image.
Your music is perfect for this with your animated facial expressions etc

Sephiroth you may be interested in this, I wont use it myself but it is very interesting that people are building channels this way. Do you have any examples you could share of snippets or full songs produced would love to see some done this way. Thank you for sharing!

Well I asked ai and it said that it's fine to post the same vids to two channels, there's no rule against it, so there's nothing to stop me from just dual posting and seeing how each channel does. I will be really sad if I need to abandon symphonious7, I'm attached to the name and attached to the history, but I can't keep getting 10 views per video on these songs, they take way too much effort so whatever I gotta do I'll do it.
Im sure you can make a new channel with the same name now. I thought maybe it would cause duplicate content issues.

I use zoice for creating ai avatar and lip sync videos
For script creation i take help of claude
And do video editing using capcut or sometime basic editing then i use palmier mcp with claudeNever heard of Zoice ill have to check it out, I dont think id have any use for it but still interesting. I used to use Crazy Talk if remember that but was a VERY long time ago. Ill check out Palmier too.
Wow had a look at palmier thats powerful!

Has anyone here ever had a video go viral? I have had a few in total. The most views I have ever had on a video was 18.7 million but never had anywhere close since and I think coming in second was about 8 million. What about you? I dont think I will EVER get that again lol.

For your videos what microphone(s) do you use? I mainly use either the Zoom h5 recorder or Rode NT1s at the moment. I also have a park of Hollyland mics which are great for mobile sound.
-
So as an update I got the mic back and tested it and it still sounds the same, I am tempted to keep it but can send it back and have 9 days to decide really unsure right now.

It really is, though I gotta say, something's changing in me, I'm getting much better at going "awww it didn't do well? Welp can't dwell on to the next one!" When I was running my channel before though I'd sometimes get so dejected I'd disappear from the channel for a few weeks. Won't be doing that this time.
It can wear you down but I do believe that with persistence we can get somewhere whether that means making a new channel, laser focusing on content, working on new projects etc we can all go places.

I dont know much about design for thumbnails but they look like ai in the background
I really like them but unsure exactly how theyre done. When I use AI it just doesnt look as good. I know my audience would complain if I was to use AI in them as well.
-
I have never heard the original surprisingly but love this man I can see the effort you put into your music doing each part must take quite a lot mentally I know I couldnt do it and manage to put it all together. Sounds great and loving the solo.

I've been thinking about this today myself. I metalified an Elton John song and copilot said I should put in the description "What song should I metalify next?" And I just did it, but then I thought about it and I was like "I don't wanna become the guy who turns any request into a metal song. I did it with the Elton John one cause I could hear in my head how it would work, it was a natural idea, if people start saying "make this metal! Make that metal!" I'm not sure I'd have an idea for just any song that wasn't kinda contrived or boring, and I don't wanna get stuck in that lane. But at the same time, maybe that's the kind of challenge I need or something.
I think it makes more sense for me to just say "if you have a cover you'd like me to do tell me and if I get an idea I'll do it" That feels a lot better.
I can get that man. I used to do requests all the time for random things and I feel it made me go off the actual main focus of the channel. The videos always done poorly too. There has been 1 recently that performed well though but it was a really good match for what I do already and wasnt too far out there.

I get my Rode NT1 5th Generation back today from the UK repair service, they have had it just over a week and fingers crossed it works. There was a muffled noise coming from inside when handled and tapped which a same mic didnt do. They said the housing was slightly deformed and replaced a capacitor as a precaution. Really hoping it works or I will return them to Amazon which I dont want to do as they do sound amazing otherwise. Has anyone else ever had noise issues with microphones like muffled sounds or rattling inside thats hard to find? I had this a LONG time ago with some cheap condensers too just wouldnt expect the same from Rode of all brands at the pricepoint too.
-
I was curious what you guys use for AI and your content creation? I mainly use ChatGPT (free version now since they put the price up), Google Gemini and Claude sometimes. For me ChatGPT does most that I want with the free version, I do miss the paid version for less limits and being able to upload but I just cant warrant the extra expense now its gone up. When I run out etc I just switch to Gemini and use multiple Gmail accounts for deep research when needed but I do still hit limits there as well.

Is it worth taking on subscriber requests or sticking to your content strategy plan? In the past I have done a lot of suggested videos and more often than not they have flopped, what are your thoughts on this? I feel like its best to stick to our plans and goals and not deviate as much as it seems to not often perform well.
-
So I was wondering what everyones worst performing videos are? For me on the new channel it has to be the introductory first video where I chat about the new channel, it isnt bad but SEO wise probably as was focused on introductions. On my old channel it was a subscriber request that I done. What about you?
