Posting multiple videos on YouTube a day is hard, but there's hope. Welcome back to Build in Public, the road to 1 million subscribers, where we talk about what's working, what's not working, and what you can try next on YouTube. Now, if you're here for our last episode, 2 days ago, we had 4,639 subscribers. And right now, we have 4,666 subscribers. I said, let's try posting five shorts a day. And we were able to do one short a day so far. Okay, so we're not at five yet, right? But we did at least get one video a day and so we're going to ramp it up. If you're like me, it's going to take some time to be able to try some new things, get new habits, build some templates in place to be able to speed things up. Let me show you what I did post and what's happened so far. Okay, so the first video I posted was the ninja kids doing a handstand. Here's something interesting about this video. When I first posted it, it took over a day to get more than three views, and now it's up to 2,300 views. Maybe it's one of those things because it, you know, had kids in it, needed some time to be able to get evaluated by YouTube before it actually took off. You see how long it stayed at like nothing and then it shot up. Okay, but then this other video that I did, how to use an Aldi cart without a quarter. This one I posted and immediately it took off and got now it's at 3,800 views. You see it going up in the beginning, then flatlining, and then going up again. We have heard from multiple YouTubers that what happens is YouTube will give your video to a sample audience and see how they resonate with it. If they watch it and watch time is up and the swipe through rate, which I think right now it's actually called how viewers engaged, if they stayed to watch or they swiped away. If that's good, it'll give it to another sample audience. And it'll keep doing that more and more to new people until it finds an audience that isn't watching it as much as YouTube would like. Okay, so it's not horrible. I'm here right now, one video a day, and I want to get to hear five videos a day. How do we do it? I'm sure it's true for you, too. There's a lot of stuff that's going on in our lives with a full-time job, having a family, I have a wife, and two kids. Also, I love to play with AI and I try to help some other companies with AI when they need help on top of making video. So, how is it possible to post multiple videos a day? Well, we going to find a way. Anything new that you start is going to be hard until it becomes familiar. We got to create some new patterns in our lives, different ways to think about it in our mind, cancel out perfection, and just go for it. Now, we're not going to compromise quality, but as we shoot out more videos, our quality is going to improve over time. Yours will, too. The first thing we're going to do to try to get it to go faster is we are going to use a template. A template that we can use inside of AI where we can drop our YouTube transcript of that short and it'll generate tags that we can put in there, description. Because the reason we're doing this is we want it to not just do well one time. We want people to be able to find this content and search for it later on. If you watch in our last video, I showed how video shorts that I made over two years ago are now still continuing to be found by people and it's some of the top subscribing content that we have on our channel today. I also need to get into the rhythm of doing something and realizing, oh, this could be a video short. And then just taking a moment immediately to at least record the short and edit it later on so that I can turn it into a YouTube short. So, we've got to try to get to five videos a day, but I want to continue to document the process for you and also give you some ideas on what could work and what's not working. So, let us know in the comments what are you trying today on the road to 1 million
