Content Creation

Creating content or revisiting assets from past accounts.

As my boss is preparing to close the company, I'm actively seeking alternative sources of income. To my astonishment, there's been a significant surge in the demand for content creation. Unfortunately, this influx has made it challenging for me to break into the field. Nevertheless, as I'm growing older, I've decided to document and share all the activities I've engaged in previously, serving as a way to recollect those memories that have faded over time.


Dream scene HD

In my old account, I discovered a treasure trove of high-definition dreamscenes. I decided to reorganize them and attempt to monetize, but I soon realized that the monetization rules had changed since the old days. Unfortunately, my HD dreamscene assets weren't garnering any new views, which made it difficult to reach the requirement of 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours for monetization.

Dream scene HD 4K

Observing the capabilities of my smartphone, I realized it could capture stunning 4K videos, perfect for dreamscapes. Excited, I filmed numerous locations, but soon noticed that many videos were shaky. Initially, I discovered the 123app to convert and stabilize the videos. However, the website began restricting uploads to 500MB, which wasn't suitable for my long 4K videos. My only choice was to bring a tripod and film with confidence. Yet, as I was recording, a passing cyclist briefly obstructed my camera. I had planned to record from the 15th to the 30th minute, but ended up with only 14 minutes due to this interruption. Deciding that 14 or 15 minutes would suffice, I moved on to the next location. Despite continuing to create content, my channel's viewership remained low. Undeterred, I persisted, and as I delved deeper, I stumbled upon a YouTube recommendation, signaling the end of one-shot content forever. delved deep into various guidance, meticulously crafting long descriptions, optimizing hashtags, and carefully selecting tags, but it seemed to yield little result. Undeterred, I continued filming. However, the journey was not without its moments of frustration and disappointment. During a free moment, feeling a bit down, I decided to investigate videos ranging from 1 million to 400 million views. These videos spanned from 2 to 11 hours in length. An idea struck me: why not combine four 15-minute videos into one 1-hour video, specifically 50 minutes? To my surprise, this strategy significantly boosted my view count, marking a milestone from 15 to 100 views. Inspired, I decided to create 1-hour long healing, calm, and relaxing music videos. For the audio, I used freely available tracks from YouTube, carefully selecting each one. However, I needed a video encoding solution, and VirtualDub emerged as the only viable option, as other alternatives required monthly subscriptions. I was hesitant to invest upfront and chose to reinvest my modest earnings to grow the channel's income gradually. Everything seemed promising. Editing and encoding a 50-minute video took a full day, and the uploading process added an extra 2 hours. I did, however, realize that the resulting file size was quite substantial. Encoding it to a smaller size would require another full day's work. This made me reconsider my posting schedule from daily to either monthly or weekly. With a fresh perspective, I revisited the tags and descriptions, adhering to the advice I'd come across: fill up those 500 characters in the tags with relevant hashtags and descriptions. As the days passed, I learned that the description should accurately depict the video's contents, and the tags must be directly related. Consequently, I went back to edit many of my older videos to improve their descriptions and tags.

Dream scene Handphone and shorts

It's been a months, and I haven't made much progress with my videos. I'm eager to make them more discoverable, just like the Windows DreamScene setup, which effortlessly accumulated 32k views on its own. Unfortunately, it seems that the algorithm has changed, and when I asked ChatGPT about it, I learned that YouTube is now using AI to recommend videos to viewers. This presented a new challenge, and I realized I needed to understand how to navigate AI, starting with tags and descriptions. One day, it dawned on me that AI's training relies on data, which brings us back to the importance of tags and descriptions. I was disheartened to discover that even with good tags and descriptions, my search terms were only ranking at 1 or 2. Then, during my commute to work, I had an epiphany. I noticed that everyone around me was constantly looking at their phones. It struck me that YouTube is predominantly accessed on smartphones, which typically have a 4:3 aspect ratio, not the 4K video format. This sparked an idea: I should create playlists specifically formatted for smartphones. And thus, the concept of the Handphone Playlist was born. Given the popularity of short video formats, I decided to experiment with the remix button to create shorter versions of my handphone videos. To my surprise, these shorts featured a small play button that redirected viewers back to the original handphone video. This sparked another idea: I added a button in the handphone video that linked to the 4K version, enhancing the viewer's experience.

Food shorts

While creating content for my daily and weekly uploads, I realized the need for some basic but recurring themes. I decided to focus on daily meals and drinks as a starting point. For my first video, which was about coffee, I created a separate section at B1 dedicated to coffee-related content. Additionally, I experimented with using leftover cereal, which I had previously used to make bitter coffee, and this led to the creation of the "Cereal Kitchen" content, located at B2. I created a series of videos showcasing my attempts at cooking various meals. In these videos, I employed jump cuts to highlight each ingredient and the oven, while providing step-by-step instructions for preparing simple meals. I focused on using easily accessible ingredients and baking in the oven. For instance, I demonstrated how to prepare hotdogs as meat chunks and poach eggs like a chef by gently pouring them into hot boiling water and later draining them for use. Finally, I experienced a significant increase in views, reaching 2k, for the culinary videos featuring my mom's recipes. This made me realize that if I didn't film her preparing these delicious goodies, there might come a time when she's too old to make them again.

Backstyle Journey

Regarding my website, I came to the realization that, at 40 years old, it was becoming increasingly challenging for me to create videos from scratch, as my memory wasn't as sharp as it used to be. To address this issue and ensure I had a good record of my content, I diligently recorded a multitude of videos for my website. These videos were primarily focused on HTML animations using JavaScript and CSS. This effort not only enriched my website but also contributed to making monetization options available.

Tried and Record down

As I go about my daily life, I've engaged in various activities and experiences, but I've often missed recording them. With age catching up, I've come to realize the importance of documenting these moments for easy reference. Even though my latest videos primarily feature AI interactions and usage, they haven't garnered many views. Nevertheless, I believe it's crucial to maintain a record of these videos for future reference.

Landmark

As I explored Singapore, I stumbled upon a significant sculpture surrounded by numerous passersby. I thought to myself, why not film it just for fun? To my surprise, the next day, I noticed an additional 2,000 views on the video. It appeared that the audience had a genuine interest in sculpture-based content. However, since I don't travel around Singapore extensively, I'm only aware of one or two places with notable sculptures to film.

Soft toy

As I spotted some carebear around which appear after forgotten for 20years i flim it and upload to the same view 2k again. i spot another one in vending machine it generate near 2k too. Then 1 shop appear i stop fliming worry i am the one creating trend but i still bought one cheer up care bear home.

Jokes for remix

While I was waiting for my last client, I noticed a large fan that resembled my CPU fan. I decided to film it, and once again, to my surprise, it garnered 1.6k views. This got me thinking about creating more content, perhaps some light-hearted jokes related to size. However, my attempts at crafting jokes didn't yield much success, and after one or two attempts, I ran out of fresh ideas.

Web self hosting

TThis playlist is primarily driven by my concern about age catching up. I'm worried that as I grow older, I might forget how I set up certain things, just like with other Raspberry Pi software. To address this, I'm building a web server. In case my Raspberry Pi suddenly fails or experiences issues, I'll have a reference to help me rebuild it.

Windows 10 dreamscene setup guide


This playlist is dedicated to the Windows DreamScene setup guide, which has accumulated 32k views. Even though it's still searchable, AI search seems to have declined. I'm now trying to revitalize it by adding more tags and improving the description.

Tip from Chat gpt


As ideas kept running low, I turned to ChatGPT for suggestions on what I'm capable of and what I can create content about on YouTube. It provided me with numerous topics to explore, so I decided to create content on PC maintenance, PC virtualization, PC customization, and Raspberry Pi

New thoughts

recently came to the realization that AI gathers information from my videos, encompassing the description, title, tags, and hashtags. However, there's one crucial aspect I'm unable to directly influence: the metrics such as likes, shares, viewer retention, and view count. These metrics all begin at zero when a video becomes public, and AI plays a pivotal role in determining how these videos are presented to the audience. I've just come to the realization that all of my video uploads have been a bit chaotic, with the category mistakenly set to "HOW TO STYLE" instead of "music." This has led me to believe that these settings are automatically pulled from my default channel settings, causing this unintentional switch to "HOW TO." As a result, it has become increasingly important to establish consistent channel settings that align with my intended content. This way, any video I upload will adhere to the same settings by default, eliminating the need to go back and make adjustments. This will help prevent instances where the category shifts from "music" to "HOW TO STYLE," which is my default channel setting. It's no wonder that my videos haven't been receiving the views they deserve, as they've been categorized under "HOW TO STYLE," which may not be enticing for viewers to click on.

New Channel need to be by category if not when database heywire it just go default follow channel settings

New thoughts

Perhaps I can utilize an older smartphone to simultaneously record audio from a distance and then merge it with video during the editing process. Today, I came across many views, prompting me to revisit some music playlists as I found it challenging to fully enjoy them. I'm hoping this doesn't negatively impact my search results. I believe it might be due to a Google database error, and I'm optimistic that it will be resolved soon. I've noticed this happening once or twice a day, and it has me pondering whether I should consider creating a music channel. However, all the videos I create lack the convenience of a simple button press to switch to a relaxing DreamScene, and it appears that there are limited options for such content in my country. Perhaps I should consider shifting my focus from entertainment to music and reduce my postings on How-to content, which I've now transitioned to a more laid-back style. Now i just monitor Entertainment only have few view and currently there is no longer any view left. The only option left is to create new channel and shift out RelaxingDreamScene. But any way i find that my country has limit place so i drop this channel and only upload when i am free and moving around. The other new ideal is music on all audio provided by youtube i just make each a clip to represent the audio. after a few hours i saw 0 new view again so i decided to shift all to music and set only bitter coffee to music channel only others to backstyle2k for how to channel

Podcast

I have basically given up on seeing my video 0 visit everyday every since upload only 1 shot visitor recommend by youtube and zero for weeks ? This grief made me click around then youtube studio show right hand corner ideal for you. so just blindly click it then it talk about podcast. Blindly i create the podcast playlist , Firstly i put all those music and then my dreamscene 4K. After rethink there didn't say anything about redistributed music license free. I could remember trying to dig on 4million visitor dreamscene video say music is from podcast he just download and copy and upload which is redistrubted and youtube music say is free to use only in youtube not podcast. So worry too much i delete those playlist then all my chinese playlist also got deleted. Lousy podcast setting , I have to spent lots of time to get some playlist back from liked video list. Then i just put a podcast safe from license which is sea beach sound and leave it there for good. 1 week went pass to my suprise there is actually visitors not like dead 0. Then i click on it and it say 10 s staying retention. Althought not bad got visitor but still not something people wanted or audience. So Podcast need to highlight youtube music is allowed. if not i will just put sea sound.

Suddenly i got an ideal , why not video with AI voice teaching mediation with sea sound.

External App or site

Today i found my howto channel has 3000 views as i open analysis i saw something different the external source of viewer is from whatsapp. Amazing whats app also can add 1 view if it share around and still will count it will be great as most people use whatsapp rather than youtube app and what video like twitter and so on. This bring me to brainstorm whatsapp sharing video or how to gain view or what kind of video people will whats app to others.
To my suprise i get 500 viewers daily for no reason, the only answer i guess is that my bread,egg,cheese, saver meal is recongize as korea miillion view bread making video shorts. This make me wait if i get daily 500 view its better not to upload new shorts until it stop. And according to analysis the percentage is 50% meaning 7K audience was issue my video 3.5 k stay to view either for music or for bread . If my theory is correct once the link is establish google AI will next time issue my new short to same amount of audience 7 k again but depending on the video likes it will maybe get 1k /7 k if video good it will be 7k /7k . Depending on my video. But think about before my video get 1k audience and 50 views 950 ignore my video . and next video still get around 30 view /950 audience. IT will never grow . Then i now realize why people copy each other for the same dance music just to get AI to issue their video to grow audience. Technique is really important to stay in youtube business and AI must know how.
short feed has continue its distribution and reach 8.2K finding the right and make the right video seems shot up the distribution. In just 3 days the video reach this number of audience. More analysis data show impression is just 44, click thru 0%, Short feed is 98% , youtube search 3.8% (many key words not related except bread) channel pages is 0.2%, youtube featuring 0.1%, External 0.1%, Browser feature 0% 45 countries distribution, its amazing for the first time i got what i wanted youtube is supposed to distribute to the world audience and this show its doing correct job. As for date its sunday that pump up not saturday could be golden date to remember. And as ususal mobile phone is 3K view not pc anymore , computer 134 tv 113, table 109, Between ios 638 and android 2694. There is 1 share , nice i got 46 returning view to view the video again.
day 1 mom memory , thursday post 75 audience 33 views
friday another 20 audience push eveing time.
saturday 1 return user night time. youtube didn't feed at all.
sunday morning As i go back to see Sea Narrative podcast and using chat gpt i ask is these narrative sea sound still in music , and it reply education, but when i select education it give me alots of question, so i ask chat gpt each question to fill in the blank. now it is to see if any view increase at all
monday morning, It seems theory wrong, it didn't mass feed out on sunday night so back to video likes must be more than 10 like than it distribute out. And audience like butter, bread, egg, korean style.
So my new video all must have butter.

Content moderator

While brainstorming what if i made inappropriate content the video might get deleted. Then i realize the next mechanism is this content screener . Does the content screener look at my video at start . does it screen and find it new and distribute to the world ? How does it work ?.

PC maintenance

Suddenly i found my PC is under virus trojan, ideal stuck why not record down all event how to tackle and add video to my channel also . Thus i clipcham all setting i turn off and on and way to deal with this virus.

Cereal kitchen

At the end the most constant is my cereal kitchen where i get 2 k view at least, and few new subscribers. Then ideal stuck i heard from chatgpt before if you subscribe back to user they it will also recommend their friend to participate subscribing back. Tuning up my subscribers immediately

Keyword hunch

NOwdays i trying out new keyword way, instead of blender, 3d builder,, I am trying out full sentence like , " how to import windows 3d builder to blender ". TO my suprize i got 20 view and 1 new subscriber this make me think my theory is correct.

Youtube recoomendation

I made a windows 11 sandbox video and youtube think is great and start pushing out video for me i think it is not in youtube at all. Then it suprise me no need likes to number up , no need alot of keywords i just put windows 11 sandbox as keyword. little short tiltlee no hash tag. No long description. I did not even try sharing out this video. Lastly it is just less than 1 min video , i do not need make a long video . This outshine all data i know. So how to get youtube to be intrested in your video is something like niche.
It seems not niche but curiosity people saw windows 11 sandbox and people got to click and see. this is not niche but still could lead to alot of viewers who do not have this install.
 

Youtube leads

I finally got a new video where anyone on the world will search for this, meta AI turn off, as 6 hours after Meta AI update the app, website pop up saying no way to turn it off. So i went opposite and post a video how i try turn off meta AI, It is totally new and only i got the lead. after uploading and 1 day gain 100 view, and analysis show almost 50% more are from keyword how to turn off facebook meta AI, I mean this is lead creating trends better than google trends follow what people search i went opposite and first and i am leading the trend.
i wonder if i can came up with other leads and calculation 1 day 100, 365 equal 36 000 only i wont make it to 3 million only viral short can
