Yeahhhhh, I was so desperate for this video that I started looking at the metadata of your previous videos to calculate the publish time, and while doing that it was published 6 min ago!!!! Cant wait to enjoy it all
love the warmth in your voice, and the gentle pacing (no rapid being yelled at unnatural pace); thanks for all the research and for sharing; just what I needed tonight as I go into the final stages of my next video...
@@AprilynneAlter just finished binge-watching video 3 from you. in a sea of (mostly white) male voices, yours is a welcome comfort - and not just because of your external qualities, but because your context is EXCEPTIONAL, and your video quality is indeed aspirational! btw, I LOVE how you have disclosed that you write every word you say- I do the same, even if most other advisors don't recommend doing so!
@@devidaughter7782 aww, that makes me so happy to hear - I definitely do my best to provide a wide range of examples, especially from creators and niches that most people in the space overlook! And yep, especially because my main strength is in writing, I definitely feel much more comfortable when I've scripted everything out!
@@AprilynneAlter oh yes, it is a rare man that will listen to a woman as an expert - on anything, which is why women keep getting marginalized, even when their work is superior!... in any sphere! so thanks for being here, with beauty and grace and AUTHENTICITY- something an ego-driven position will always lack!
You built a strong brand trough positive reinforcement with your previous videos. We already know that this will be a killer one without even watching it.
Thanks a lot for highlighting the power of being different (vs being better)! As a high school physics teacher, I struggled with this for years on UA-cam. What finally worked was being different. In the hindsight, it almost seems obvious. But it’s not. It took me quite a while to stumble upon this. And I am so glad that this video explains this idea so nicely. It’s incredibly powerful and if you are an aspiring youtuber, I hope you take notes and keep coming back to this video! (I took a lot of notes as well) Incredible stuff, Aprilynne! This is pure gold.
Thank you so, so much Mahesh! The concept of remarkability is so crucial to understand in today's UA-cam climate - I'm glad you thought I was able to convey it properly :)
@@AprilynneAlterO’course! If you ever need any examples to do case studies of channels suddenly blowing up, I would be more than happy to provide any and all details from my experience and channel. Keep up the good work& Cheers :)
Thank You Aprilynne for creating such a detailed video! Loved your authenticity, pacing, and editing. Top-notch! I am working with a UA-cam Growth Coach and he shared your info with me. Really excited to see your channel continue to grow.......and congrats on your first sponsorship!
I learn a lot from videos like this. Thanks for the hard work on these videos. Succeeding on UA-cam is truly just as much of a science as it is an art.
Hi Aprilynne, I just found you a couple of days ago, and I cannot tell you how valuable your videos have been for me already! Thank you so much for your videos. They are so detailed, informative and visual (this helped me because I am def a visual lerner). Thank you! 😊
I’ve watched so many videos to learn about UA-cam and honestly this is the only one I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of value from. You are a great teacher! Looking forward to more of your content.
It is absurd this content exists for FREE. For real, I would pay money for this video, it is amazing. HUGE thank you, girl! This video is a KILLER one!
After watching your other killer thumbnail/intro videos, I applied it myself and my next video was a 1/10 by almost double!! It wouldn't have gotten a fraction of that without your videos, I really appreciate how you break everything down to be so understandable
This is hands down your best video, your best teaching, and imo the most valuable advice for creators serious about UA-cam. I'll watch this over and over again!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I sh*t you not, I had just sat down with my notebook, wrote in the middle ‘youtube ideas’ and was ready to brainstorm. Logged onto UA-cam and this was the first video I see. Either you’re a mind reader or the AI can log into our brains now?!
Girrrrl, the way you present this info is amazing - it’s so easy to digest and apply!! I was watching this last night while washing dishes and I’m back here with my journal and making notes on everything you said. This video should be getting millions of views!!!!! Keep grinding, I know you’re going to blow up in no time! I’m so grateful for you!!!
I've been WAITING for you to publish this video, Aprilynne!!!!! This video is so good + so comprehensive. I'm amazed at how much work you put into each video.
"ridiculously nerdy video that I make"- What you are doing here is helping a lot of people including me to level up their youtube game with valuable advices. I find your videos ridiculously valuable and packed with a lot of info which takes some time to comprehend and that's what I am here for! Thank you! Congratulations on your first sponsor!
Genuinely speechless about how helpful this video is. The best part for me is the downloadable pdf that summarizes your research- thank you so much for your dedication to this topic. Means more to me than you know
Just uploaded my first video (well, technically it’s not my first UA-cam video ever) but it’s my first video applying your tips after watching your "how to" trio (killer intro, thumbnail, and idea). I can’t describe how just watching those feels like a whole UA-cam course worth hundreds, if not thousands, given the amount of depth and information provided. I can only thank you and hope that I’ve applied your instructions correctly 🤞
Killing it with every. single. video ❤ One of the things I can’t find good info anywhere is advice for B2B channels that do not want to do clickbaity, or entertaining content (and not even edutainment to a point). All the advice seems to be directed at youtubers who want to do entertainment content, but some of us don’t want to do that.
Your videos always bring so much value! My favorite part was the formatting ideas and angles. It is really nice to have them all in a list! Also your graphics are amazing and so helpful for my brain! Thank you for sharing! ⭐️
Thank you youtube algo for this killer video about killer idea genreation. Thanks April for packing so much value in it! Will check out the sponsor tool too!
honestly I was kinda wondering what could possibly be taking you so long but this video was worth the wait what a banger! Congrats on your sponsorship!
Always fantastic. I have to say you are definitely one of my favorite creators on growing on UA-cam. That is saying alot as I been through many courses.
I literally wanna cry because I feel so cared for and like you take my hand on the brutal journey of a brand new UA-camr 🥺 Thank you so much for your videos, I really can’t believe I’m seeing this for free, feels like a hug 🫂
I am always excited to see a new video from you. I learned a lot from your previous videos and I'm trying to be more conceptual and spending a lot more time thinking about the videos that I'm gonna make before actually making them. So I've learned a lot from you.
You have put so much effort and explained everything in such a clear and interesting manner that you made it sound easy. Thank you very much Aprilynne and congratulations on the first of many sponsorships to come :)
I literally turned this video into a Notion template and connected it to my content planner. Going to put everything into action and I'll come back to this same comment to share my results... this is absolutely insane April!
I’m a blogger, not a video maker, but your content is SO transferable. Thanks for sharing! I learned a ton and have some new strategies to try out now.
This is exactly the topic I've been thinking about and trying to improve on, and your video did NOT disappoint. I learned a lot of things that I am interested in trying out. Thank you for this, especially because of how much effort you put into these.
This was UNBELIEVABLE! And the timing! For me, finishing a 3 month project and wanting to come up with a banger that excites me, this is perfect. The time you put into this shows, and the value is unmatched. Absolute game changer for all 14k people who’ve watched so far and will be unbelievably valuable for the rest of the gang who finds it. Thanks Aprilynne ❤️❤️
Really love how clear, concise, and flexible you make these videos! This one is just what I needed for my own research! Also, in my mind the three first points are synonymous with a UA-camrs channel, series, and style if that makes any sense 😂
The value in your videos is infinite. The frameworks you develop are so insanely thought out. You synthesise so much into such a consumable format. Phenomenal job Aprilynne... As always.
Another BANGER! 🎉 Input bias maxxed out! As much as I’m learning from this incredible series of yours, I’d love to see some passion videos. I feel invested in who you are now and would love to see more of who you are, not just the gigantic juicy fruits of your labour! Your community clearly thinks you’re awesome. Aside from figuring out what makes for an awesome video (which you employ to success proving your research!), what ELSE makes Aprilynne tick?! ❤
That makes me so happy to hear :) I've definitely been hesitant about making "lower view potential" videos, but moving forward I want to try some out! Or at the very least, try some videos that take less than 5 months to make haha. There's also the concept of setting up a second channel for lower-key, more casual content. A lot to think about!
The amount of effort put into this video is truly amazing! Worlds away from where I currently set my bar, time to improve. Thanks for opening my eyes, truly
This is actually so great, I’ve been attempting to create a super comprehensive note list of every part of UA-cam/being a UA-camr and I wasn’t finding enough good stuff on ideas and here you come. You’ve covered essentially every major part of the video aside from titles and how to make people stay for the whole video and honestly I can’t wait for those videos!
As someone who had his first outlier a couple of months ago as a result of consuming content like yours - THANK YOU. It has helped me tremendously and I know I'm not alone in that. I can't wait to implement these tips in my process moving forward as well. Cheers!
THIS is a video which is on everyone's mind - but no one is willing to answer. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! The value your providing is insane, and I appreciate your time
Wow! This video is the goldmine of such valuable information, exactly what I needed at this point in time. Your insights and practical tips have given me so much clarity and confidence to move forward with my own channel. The way you broke down how one can generate a killer idea into easily digestible pointers is truly impressive. Thanks for sharing such high value content and for being a constant source of inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work! P.S. Congrats for the first sponsorship - that's a huge milestone! I am excited to see many more amazing videos from you.
Awesome video! Now I'm combining what I've learned from you across your videos to reset my channel (not this account) and finally get monetized. I plug all my notes from your videos into the prompt from your AI video. I recommend to new viewers not to sleep on Aprilynne's older videos. Binging is definitely the move. I am planning to follow what you did in your monetization challenge. My goal will be 2 videos per week but I won't force bad content. I am hoping batch brainstorming, batch writing, batch researching, batch recording, etc will help to ensure that I'm not forcing myself to come up with winning ideas and words every other day. This is a small thing and obviously, you got monetized, but you never finished the monetization challenge series -- It left me wanting to know where you were at the end of 3 months! You left us hanging, sib! 😅
Hi Aprilynne - this is a TON of research and sooooo much covered in one video...this needs a million views! Especially love the framework: TOPIC, FORMAT, ANGLE, CRITERIA. This is the kind of stuff people write an entire BOOK about.
Ahh thank you so, so much! Putting the framework together definitely took a LOT of work! In hindsight, it seems simple, but the work it took to get to that point was anything but!
@@AprilynneAlter Totally got it. Truly appreciate your deep research and your framework is etched in my mind like any other big author of a book… I do a research based Indian film music analysis channel… there is no way I am able to keep up with “post every week” let alone “post everyday”. I just wish there wasn’t there much pressure in the world to just keep churning out content- because it would just fill the world with mediocre stuff or stuff that simply exists to ignite negative emotion engagement. If we could space out content we would have more great stuff and less information explosion where we must sift through for good content! Always LOVE your content and approach and will support you no matter how rarely you post ❤😊 although I might miss you. 😂
Oh my goodness! Thisvideoo is insane! I can tell that you put A LOT of time and energy into it. And I was honestly surprised how "calm" it came out. Your voice is quite calm for the amount of effects in thevideoo. But still love it! Oh, and Gratz for your sponsorship
This video will blow up just for the time and effort youve put into it ive been seeing your community posts and im wishing you all the best Much love ❤
Self expression and creativity...they're the two things that drive me to make the crazy, fun, spooky videos I love making! Yes, they're a lot of work but I have a ton of fun creating them. But I could do with making some viral content too LOL!! FAB video, Aprilynne. Thank you!
Exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much Aprilynne! My content has been too scattered so I have been trying to hone in on my ideal audience and focus. I think I have it figured out now, but the next big challenge was figuring out the set of videos to actually make for that audience, so your advice was exceptionally timely :) thank you!
I expected that the content would be solid and well-researched. I also knew that your presentation would be stellar. What exceeded my expectations is just how awesome your editing instincts are. Honestly, you hit a home run with your flow, modulation, mix of media, and timing. Thank you for the thought, work, and soul that you gave us in this beautiful package. It is truly a gift and worth the wait. I hope it gets a tremendous response from your marketplace.
Oh wow, thank you so, so much. I really appreciate it - I try to think of all of my videos as gifts to my viewers, and I do everything I can to give the best gift I can. It truly means so much that you thought of it as a gift as well 💙
@@AprilynneAlter you are going to be inundated with comments. Thank you for making time to respond to mine. Looking forward to watching this again to really get the value.
WOW!! Girl this video was worth the time!! I’ve seen SO many yo iTunes growth videos but NEVER one with this much information in it!! Thank you so so much for taking your time and energy to make this video for us!!❤❤
You have built this anticipation in me with your post, so i started looking forward to your next upload😅 about 3 weeks ago. I enjoy your content because you're original and authentic. Your videos have helped me improve my UA-cam content creation journey (literally watched them all)....Cheers from Nigeria🙂
Love your dedication, clarity of communication, presentation and V I B E S☺️☺️ I don't like being yelled at, especially by people pretending to be excited
U know I checked ur channel at 12am today 😂😂 pretty sad but that’s how bad I was waiting for this video. Then I woke up at 3pm coz I work overnight.. I then went on UA-cam and was like damn where’s the video 😂, then after refreshing a few times it was uploaded and I saw it said 1min ago 😂😂, so I commented before even watching coz that’s how much I been waiting. Now after watching I can confidently say it was WORTH THE WAIT!!! Thank you April, u never disappoint.
I've been learning so much from your killer series over the past few days, and this new video came out at the perfect time! I almost thought I was hallucinating from watching your content too much😂. Thank you for making this. Your videos have been incredibly helpful!
been waiting for this one!! I find that I struggle often with finding content ideas, but after having watched your other "killer" vids (which are so well executed btw), I'm so excited to dive into this one
@@AprilynneAlter just finished watching! I really loved your breakdown of formats and angles. Usually I’m aware of different formats, but this definitely helped me realize that I tend to stick to just one way of executing content, and to stand out, I really want to try combinations of certain angles and formats. Again, thank you so much for this vid!!
VidIQ is showing me your previous thumbnails and I just want to say you nailed it with this last one. I see it's crumpled paper (?) now but on first sight it looked to me like gems, indicating your gem of an idea is just waiting to be unearthed! Love it. You deserve the sponsor, the views, the love. You're doing great work, girlfriend.
I didn’t know it was possible to give this much value in a single video! this was an incredible production start to finish! from the research to the script to the insanely helpful diagrams, you killed it! keep up the good work.
This is the best video I’ve ever watched on bettering your videos and channel. Amazing value and editing, I can imagine this took forever to put together!!! Absolutely love this
This is the best video I have ever watched on UA-cam (and I watch a lot) Thank you so much for the time you put into this and for sharing with us 🙏 I'm excited to try!!
Your videos are absolutely incredible. Each one is exceptional. Been following a year plus, you have helped me so much and you will become a top expert on youtube, I guarantee it.
I just wanted to comment and say that there was a lot of genuinely new info in this vid. Nearly every other youtube growth video is almost word for word ripping off Ed from film booth. Good stuff, and thanks!
Another banger and treasure trove of info. Only a third of the way through but I can already see this one is so dense it'll require more than one view. Your excellence as a dedicated researcher and increasingly talented editor are obvious and admirable. But I have a feeling that over time you'll learn to put more trust in your own likability as a teacher in order to win out, rather than chasing the dragon of every video having to outperform the previous one. Aprilynne, have as much fun as you can with your creativiity and natural talents. You're good enough just as you are :)
I really, really appreciate that - now that this video is finally out, I have a lot more time to think about the strategy of the channel and the business as a whole. I'm definitely excited to start testing out other kinds of videos - again, thank you so much for the kind words
Hi! Just wanted to come here to say that you are a true inspiration for new creators like myself and that you bring an incredible value into the plattform. Thanks for so much! ❤
Love the way you explained things! Your content has been so helpful even when I haven’t seen any results yet (just starting my channel) I’m focused to learn and listen, Thank you!! Greetings from Oslo! Norway!!
I've been pushing this idea of "ideas" with people in my masterminds as well. We use the word "concept" instead but same principle. The videos that have grown our channels the most may have some topic/format link, but simply overdoing topics or formats hasn't proven useful. Concept seems to have been the biggest common denominator between the 10-20 videos that drive 70%+ of ALL views to my channel compared to the other 90% of my videos that never really add to baseline.
Yes there's truly so much that goes into it!! Before doing the research for this video, I had no idea (pardon the pun) just how much went into a single UA-cam idea
@@AprilynneAlter It's crazy how eerily similar some of your process in this video is to the internal discussions I've had with colleagues of mine. Topic, angle and format are some of the biggest factors, and at least I can be ruthless with video ideas. If I can't get a thumbnail for a concept, it goes straight in the trash or gets recycled as a segment for a compilation of some sort.
I watched the entire video, actually bit by bit; it takes time to absorb it. Well, this content is legendary. Thanks, Aprilynne. This content is one of a kind - excellent editing, substantial info, and just so helpful. Take care.
Grew from 3000 to 89k in a year after learning from you. Thanks for the work you put into every video.
Ahhh that's so amazing to hear, congratulations!!
@@AprilynneAlter Same, 500 to 60,000 in 5 months and your videos were my go to for all things "how to youtube". Thank you for everything Aprilynne!
Omg I love your stuff!! 💙
@@AprilynneAlter small world! Thanks :')
@@makariespe yo, just watched one of your videos. We have similar vibes lol. Think this is contributing to our growth.
Yeahhhhh, I was so desperate for this video that I started looking at the metadata of your previous videos to calculate the publish time, and while doing that it was published 6 min ago!!!! Cant wait to enjoy it all
Hahaha thank you for the support! I hope it was worth the wait 💙
Lmaooo feel you
She's back!!! Thank you for all your insane hard work, girl 💫
Ahhh I'm back!! Thank you so much Erica, I really appreciate it 💙
Vote for script writing 👇👇👇
I don't know if this applies to anything specific, but a script writing video would be interesting 😅
@@Jefnam I think the script is the soul of the video.
Yes
Killer video! Your content is always worth the wait. Congrats on your first sponsor!

This is actually so great, I’ve been attempting to create a super comprehensive note list of every part of UA-cam/being a UA-camr and I wasn’t finding enough good stuff on ideas and here you come. You’ve covered essentially every major part of the video aside from titles and how to make people stay for the whole video and honestly I can’t wait for those videos!
Ahh I'm so glad you've been liking the series so far! There's still so much to cover!
As someone who had his first outlier a couple of months ago as a result of consuming content like yours - THANK YOU. It has helped me tremendously and I know I'm not alone in that. I can't wait to implement these tips in my process moving forward as well. Cheers!
I'm so happy to hear that Jordan!! 💙
Congrats on your first sponsor! Your videos are by far the best when it comes to these topics
Aprilynne, you’re amazing. You saved me tens of hours compiling this info, and now I have it in a PDF. Thank you.
Of course! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Your notion template is amazing... very helpful. Thank you so much.🤗
Your videos are so practical, straight to the point, and packed with great stuff. Thank you so much for doing this! ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!!
THIS is a video which is on everyone's mind - but no one is willing to answer. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! The value your providing is insane, and I appreciate your time
Ahhh thank you so, so much!! I'm so happy you liked the video 💙
Wow! This video is the goldmine of such valuable information, exactly what I needed at this point in time. Your insights and practical tips have given me so much clarity and confidence to move forward with my own channel. The way you broke down how one can generate a killer idea into easily digestible pointers is truly impressive.
Thanks for sharing such high value content and for being a constant source of inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work!
P.S. Congrats for the first sponsorship - that's a huge milestone! I am excited to see many more amazing videos from you.
Awesome video! Now I'm combining what I've learned from you across your videos to reset my channel (not this account) and finally get monetized. I plug all my notes from your videos into the prompt from your AI video. I recommend to new viewers not to sleep on Aprilynne's older videos. Binging is definitely the move.
I am planning to follow what you did in your monetization challenge. My goal will be 2 videos per week but I won't force bad content. I am hoping batch brainstorming, batch writing, batch researching, batch recording, etc will help to ensure that I'm not forcing myself to come up with winning ideas and words every other day.
This is a small thing and obviously, you got monetized, but you never finished the monetization challenge series -- It left me wanting to know where you were at the end of 3 months! You left us hanging, sib! 😅
Thanks for such a comprehensive video! I knew most of this but seeing it again in one neat video is a great reminder.
I'm glad you liked it :)
Hi Aprilynne - this is a TON of research and sooooo much covered in one video...this needs a million views! Especially love the framework: TOPIC, FORMAT, ANGLE, CRITERIA. This is the kind of stuff people write an entire BOOK about.
Ahh thank you so, so much! Putting the framework together definitely took a LOT of work! In hindsight, it seems simple, but the work it took to get to that point was anything but!
@@AprilynneAlter Totally got it. Truly appreciate your deep research and your framework is etched in my mind like any other big author of a book… I do a research based Indian film music analysis channel… there is no way I am able to keep up with “post every week” let alone “post everyday”. I just wish there wasn’t there much pressure in the world to just keep churning out content- because it would just fill the world with mediocre stuff or stuff that simply exists to ignite negative emotion engagement. If we could space out content we would have more great stuff and less information explosion where we must sift through for good content! Always LOVE your content and approach and will support you no matter how rarely you post ❤😊 although I might miss you. 😂
AMAZING TUTORIAL. NEVER SEEN SMETHING LIKE THIS AND THE EDITING AND ANIMATION. EVERYTHING IS JUST TOP NOTCH
as always, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I have been waiting for/needing this video for so long!
Thanks for all your hard work in putting this together, I can imagine how much work you put into this 🙏 Will try this for my next “idea”
Oh my goodness! Thisvideoo is insane! I can tell that you put A LOT of time and energy into it. And I was honestly surprised how "calm" it came out. Your voice is quite calm for the amount of effects in thevideoo. But still love it! Oh, and Gratz for your sponsorship
Ahhh thank you Alandra!! I'm really happy you liked the video 💙
Omg your first sponsorship yaayyy🎉 I'm so proud of you! I love watching your video's and I'm learning a lot. So well deserved 🥰
So grateful for you and that amazing creative brain of yours girl! I just got monetized and I'm loving watching your videos to grow + learn even more!
This was definitely worth the wait. Thanks for creating such a detailed and well-rounded video helping us coming up with good video ideas.
I'm so glad you think so!!
This video will blow up just for the time and effort youve put into it ive been seeing your community posts and im wishing you all the best
Much love ❤
I really, really appreciate it!!
Self expression and creativity...they're the two things that drive me to make the crazy, fun, spooky videos I love making! Yes, they're a lot of work but I have a ton of fun creating them. But I could do with making some viral content too LOL!! FAB video, Aprilynne. Thank you!
Exactly what I needed to see, thank you so much Aprilynne! My content has been too scattered so I have been trying to hone in on my ideal audience and focus. I think I have it figured out now, but the next big challenge was figuring out the set of videos to actually make for that audience, so your advice was exceptionally timely :) thank you!
I expected that the content would be solid and well-researched. I also knew that your presentation would be stellar. What exceeded my expectations is just how awesome your editing instincts are. Honestly, you hit a home run with your flow, modulation, mix of media, and timing. Thank you for the thought, work, and soul that you gave us in this beautiful package. It is truly a gift and worth the wait. I hope it gets a tremendous response from your marketplace.
Oh wow, thank you so, so much. I really appreciate it - I try to think of all of my videos as gifts to my viewers, and I do everything I can to give the best gift I can. It truly means so much that you thought of it as a gift as well 💙
@@AprilynneAlter you are going to be inundated with comments. Thank you for making time to respond to mine. Looking forward to watching this again to really get the value.
WOW!! Girl this video was worth the time!! I’ve seen SO many yo iTunes growth videos but NEVER one with this much information in it!! Thank you so so much for taking your time and energy to make this video for us!!❤❤
You videos stand out as a guide for youtubers in their journey. This is one among them.
Thank you so, so much!!
You have built this anticipation in me with your post, so i started looking forward to your next upload😅 about 3 weeks ago. I enjoy your content because you're original and authentic. Your videos have helped me improve my UA-cam content creation journey (literally watched them all)....Cheers from Nigeria🙂
Sending love to Nigeria! I'm so glad you've enjoyed the videos so far 💙
Your channel is highly undervalued. Please make more videos, a lot more.
Love your dedication, clarity of communication, presentation and V I B E S☺️☺️
I don't like being yelled at, especially by people pretending to be excited
Finally…. She’s back with another BIG BANGER!!! 🧨🔥🔥🔥
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!
U know I checked ur channel at 12am today 😂😂 pretty sad but that’s how bad I was waiting for this video. Then I woke up at 3pm coz I work overnight.. I then went on UA-cam and was like damn where’s the video 😂, then after refreshing a few times it was uploaded and I saw it said 1min ago 😂😂, so I commented before even watching coz that’s how much I been waiting. Now after watching I can confidently say it was WORTH THE WAIT!!! Thank you April, u never disappoint.
I've been learning so much from your killer series over the past few days, and this new video came out at the perfect time! I almost thought I was hallucinating from watching your content too much😂. Thank you for making this. Your videos have been incredibly helpful!
Hahaha definitely a jump scare to see a new video! I'm so glad you've been enjoying the series so far 💙
been waiting for this one!! I find that I struggle often with finding content ideas, but after having watched your other "killer" vids (which are so well executed btw), I'm so excited to dive into this one
Ahhh let me know what you think!!
@@AprilynneAlter just finished watching! I really loved your breakdown of formats and angles. Usually I’m aware of different formats, but this definitely helped me realize that I tend to stick to just one way of executing content, and to stand out, I really want to try combinations of certain angles and formats. Again, thank you so much for this vid!!
VidIQ is showing me your previous thumbnails and I just want to say you nailed it with this last one. I see it's crumpled paper (?) now but on first sight it looked to me like gems, indicating your gem of an idea is just waiting to be unearthed! Love it. You deserve the sponsor, the views, the love. You're doing great work, girlfriend.
I didn’t know it was possible to give this much value in a single video! this was an incredible production start to finish! from the research to the script to the insanely helpful diagrams, you killed it! keep up the good work.
Ahhh thank you so, so much!! I'm so happy you liked the video!!
thank you for this! your voice is soothing and i love your attention to detail.
This is the best video I’ve ever watched on bettering your videos and channel. Amazing value and editing, I can imagine this took forever to put together!!! Absolutely love this
Ahhh thank you so much Lauren! I'm so happy you liked the video :)
Such a killer video you’ve created for us! It was super thorough & incredibly well done. I’m going to rewatch it to catch anything I missed.
This is the best video I have ever watched on UA-cam (and I watch a lot)
Thank you so much for the time you put into this and for sharing with us 🙏 I'm excited to try!!
Thanks as always Aprilyne, you rocks!
The way you broke it down allowed me to take really good notes I am going to use in the future
I'm so happy to hear that!!
You are a saviour. Thank you for these deep, analytic videos❤
Your videos are absolutely incredible.
Each one is exceptional.
Been following a year plus, you have helped me so much and you will become a top expert on youtube, I guarantee it.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate it 💙
I just wanted to comment and say that there was a lot of genuinely new info in this vid. Nearly every other youtube growth video is almost word for word ripping off Ed from film booth. Good stuff, and thanks!
Girl the VALUE in every single one of your videos is amazing
Thank you!
Ahhh thank you so much!!
Girl you are single-handedly changing our lives. And all that psych knowledge too!
Another banger and treasure trove of info. Only a third of the way through but I can already see this one is so dense it'll require more than one view. Your excellence as a dedicated researcher and increasingly talented editor are obvious and admirable. But I have a feeling that over time you'll learn to put more trust in your own likability as a teacher in order to win out, rather than chasing the dragon of every video having to outperform the previous one. Aprilynne, have as much fun as you can with your creativiity and natural talents. You're good enough just as you are :)
I really, really appreciate that - now that this video is finally out, I have a lot more time to think about the strategy of the channel and the business as a whole. I'm definitely excited to start testing out other kinds of videos - again, thank you so much for the kind words
As a new channel, I find your work SUPER useful and I immediately start taking notes! Thanks Aprilynne! 📝
I'm so happy to hear that these videos are useful to you!!
Hi! Just wanted to come here to say that you are a true inspiration for new creators like myself and that you bring an incredible value into the plattform.
Thanks for so much! ❤
Love the way you explained things! Your content has been so helpful even when I haven’t seen any results yet (just starting my channel) I’m focused to learn and listen, Thank you!! Greetings from Oslo! Norway!!
Happy to support you and your sponsor! Your dedication is admirable
Congrats on your first sponsor! And thank you for the amazing and content rich video. Love them.
Great video, I'm sure this will help a lot of people. Good job with all of the research you did. Hoping this will be a 1/10 for you!
Thank you so much!!
I've been pushing this idea of "ideas" with people in my masterminds as well. We use the word "concept" instead but same principle. The videos that have grown our channels the most may have some topic/format link, but simply overdoing topics or formats hasn't proven useful. Concept seems to have been the biggest common denominator between the 10-20 videos that drive 70%+ of ALL views to my channel compared to the other 90% of my videos that never really add to baseline.
Yes there's truly so much that goes into it!! Before doing the research for this video, I had no idea (pardon the pun) just how much went into a single UA-cam idea
@@AprilynneAlter It's crazy how eerily similar some of your process in this video is to the internal discussions I've had with colleagues of mine. Topic, angle and format are some of the biggest factors, and at least I can be ruthless with video ideas. If I can't get a thumbnail for a concept, it goes straight in the trash or gets recycled as a segment for a compilation of some sort.
What do you mean by overdoing by topics & format hasn’t proven useful?
I watched the entire video, actually bit by bit; it takes time to absorb it. Well, this content is legendary. Thanks, Aprilynne. This content is one of a kind - excellent editing, substantial info, and just so helpful. Take care.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm so happy you liked the video (and thank you for the Super Thanks!)
