What other issues are you having around uploading to UA-cam? Add them here and I'll see if I can make a video about it.
When I go to the shorts tab and click music, the blue button for a new sound doesn’t work. How do I fix that?
I would say the one problem I am facing when it comes to uploading to UA-cam is fitting the playlist, suggested videos, and channel into the end screen. I use capcut to edit and I usually just import a "thanks for watching" end screen to my videos and then try to fit them into it. But every time I do its mostly the channel icon that struggled to fit and then when it finally does fit I have trouble making the videos fit in the box.
How would you tackle uploading with an off grid channel where life and projects are happening all the time? It is a bit overwhelming specially because we are only starting.
Personally I think the old title was more attractive…
Maybe an updated video about all the settings etc when uploading...
Refer each time to a flowchart with how to get to each page and do this... OR timestamps...
Remember to use the yellow dot as I'm watching on mobile.

ps Popcorn should occasionally appear in the videos 😻
Definitely went from had all the time in the world to work on YT to full time job and the that struggle you are talking about! It's been a struggle working on a schedule that works but I am getting better! Thanks for the tips Nick!
ALL OF THIS! I started doing all this stuff last year and it has helped a lot! Sometimes life gets caught up with me but when I'm consistent with all this, I usually have a week or two of content backlogged that lets me take a break if needed. Awesome Info Nick!
👊 🤓

Before we used to record our video podcast. But we didn't have enough time to edit it as we have our own service-based businesses to run. We decided to just do go live and have that fixed schedule every week. We've been doing these for 3 years now because it's working for us.
The challenge though is after going live, we only have minimal time to do the rest. But at least when it comes to consistency, we have that. Maybe soon we will add more to our team to help with the other things we need to do inside the channel. Thanks, Nick for the reminder! 😊
Thanks for this video. I wrote in during the livestream the other week about "Quality vs Quantity."
Right now I'm making videos that are honestly taking me too much time, and I think I'm going to end up burnt out like you did. I think I got caught up in the idea of retention editing because I saw that my retention went down when I didn't have as many bells and whistles. If any part of the video didn't switch up after 5 seconds, I would see a dip, and I interpreted that as doing something wrong.
But I can't create sustainably this way when it's just me and I've only been editing for 1 year.
It was helpful to hear that creating a better story is another way to get around the extraneous editing. Will really give that some thought. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing this UA-cam schedule! It seems manageable and well-structured. I appreciate the emphasis on consistency, that's key for growing a channel. I'll definitely give it a try and see how it positively impacts my content creation routine!
Just started my channel here 👋! Having a demanding full time job as a healthcare worker means lesser time for me to manage my channel. So I have to make content on the weekends and at least do the editing on the weekdays after work. It’s hard but it’s a challenge too. So good luck to all of us here! Stay motivated guys!
That's one of the biggest challenges with my schedule.. thanks for.the tips.
👊 🤓
@NickNimmin ... I appreciate the fistbump... I have been watching your videos for a while, and they're keeping me motivated to reach my goals to entertain people.
Writing down ideas for videos. That is actually helping me kick start again after a break.
I have worked on several videos at 1 time when I have clips but a project isn't completed. Found out real quick storage space is a must!
I have figured out, I need to film more to have the content to edit. Nothing like sitting down editing and think, I should've done...
Thank you for everything you do Nick, your videos are always very helpful to us! 😊
Glad you like them!
This is great, Nick. Very good framework. There's no right or wrong way, but the most important thing is that you can comfortably fit it into your lifestyle. The biggest difference between how I divide my content time comes down to where the editing fits in. I can't edit a video start to finish in 1 day; I just don't have the patience, so I stretch that over 3-4 days and do other tasks on those days as well.
I'd be happy to share how I balance my time between full time work in a highly demand industry/role, family life, hobbies, and content creation between VODs, shorts, and lives with anyone who's interested!
(Nick - I'm pretty sure I can tell you edited this one.)
First I want to say thanks Nick, your videos have helped me a lot. I was having the issue of not having enough time to get a weekly video out and work a full time job. I'm lucky in that I can work on the graphics and such at work however one thing I was using was a green screen background. Yes, it helped the video look nice, but man did it take a lot of time. There were times I was hard pressed to just get one video done in a week, let alone work on others. However, I decided to forego the green screen and just pick a wall in the place to be the background, and I have to say, It has been a savior. Thanks to giving it up, I have been able to work on multiple videos at one as suggested in this video. I already have my next video ready to go on upload day, I filmed the next video last night, and am already working on the script for the following video. It's really nice not feeling so stressed and still being able to do UA-cam videos, which I have been enjoying doing. My other main issue now is figuring out how to get people to watch/comment on my videos, which I have been watching some of your other videos to try and work on it.
That YT schedule will work for many people, Great job, Nick. :)
Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park.. Great job as always sir! Im on year 2 of this amazing UA-cam journey...Come say hi 😊🌄🏞️🐻
Hi 🤓 ✋
The perfect video! I was waiting for a video discussing this topic. Many thanks once again Nick :)
👊 🤓
I've been doing a version of this for the past 6 months and it works! I use it for scheduling my patreon and channel membership content too.
Oh woww, actually I have been working on different thumbnails for a few videos at once and didn't realise I was saving time! Now I do! I will do it for descriptions, and others like you said Nick! Love the tips! Thank you so much for always trying your best to help us do better !
Happy to help! 👊 🤓
Really appreciate the recommended schedule! The 2-week cadence hadn’t occurred to me but makes sense to my brain.
Thanks for this Nick I work a full time job and make UA-cam content and it’s hard to balance out both. I also try to put in an hour a day towards my goals for the channel.
It can be tough. But you got this!
I'm not sure if I have the words for how much I've begged for this. I don't even know all the places I've posted this asking for help! I'm so so grateful that Nick has posted this because I think for the first time in 4yrs I understand what I wasn't able to. So grateful 🙏
🤓👊
great points! I find myself always working on that 'one' video and never thought to batch my process. I will def try this approach out. thanks!
Great advice, definitely something I have to work on...the full time job / life certainly gets in the way sometimes.
Glad you made this video! Been working on getting this very thing more as I try to put more content out. Doing the thumbnails, description and SEO stuff first has been huge in helping my process and my results recently ! Thanks for all you do nick!
This was so interesting, as a angler who plans the trip before going, weather permitting, working full time, and
running two photo groups, its a little tricky, but I love making my fishing videos, this was food for thought, brilliant job, massive thanks for this.
I used to watch your videos years ago and life happened and I finally found your channel again it also made me remember alot of memories, i really love and appreciate your videos
Welcome back! 🤓 ✋
Thank you for making this video. This is what I needed to hear.
Glad it was helpful! 🤓 ✋
I've been trying to do all my videos for a whole month at stretch and it hasn't seemed to be working, but this method that you talked about is a whole lot better, thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Great video and great ideas for scheduling. I also feel that it's flexible enough for family life to intrude without knocking you off your stride. Well done. You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard! 🤓✋
Wow, these are all amazing tips and this mock schedule is very helpful.
Thanks a lot Nick! Gonna implement these steps
Another solid video. Love the reminder of a template file. I am on a mission to organize my digital space, as can see it's getting mega cluttered! Thank you!
👊 🤓
I don't normally comment on your videos however I resonate with so much of what you said in this specific video - I consume a TON of youtube help content from Dusty Porters Creators hub podcast to Roberto Blake and Tim Schmoyer Ect - Even though everyone I watch gives sound advice - YOUR advice has been the most practical to use in an actual situation in my circumstance so I just wanted to tell you thank you.
I appreciate that! 👊🤓
Thank you for everything Nick
You rock, you da man, love what you do.
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
These tips are great!
Thank you
"Keep it simple." Great advice!
Nick thank you so much !
Thanks Nick for your advice 😊
Thank you so much for this video Nick! It's ultra useful 🙌🙌
Hey Nick, these are very helpful tips👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Yes it can be tough to keep up with publishing more videos. Interesting... bathroom time😂😂😂 Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗 Much blessings on you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Nick!
🤓👊
Thanks Nick!!
Some of the best advice out there. Great job, awesome video.
I appreciate that!
Thanks a lot ❤
Great advice - going to work to put that creator schedule into practice. Thanks Nick!

Thank you for all your help!
My pleasure! 🤓👊
informative content Thanks Nick.
Nick,
Thanks for responding!
Don't know why but the desktop version had the link and card but the Android version did not.

Straight to the point 📍and very informative. Thank you for sharing 🙏 It means a lot.
When I worked 9-5, I used to wake up at 3 am to work on my business before the job.
Then I went to sleep early.
On the weekends I worked the whole time on the business.
Quitting the job was the one of the smartest financial decisions I've ever made.
I’ve had those periods of time as well. Sometimes you have to go for it. 🥳
Thank you Man
👍
Thank you for these tips!
Any time!
Thanks Nick, those are great tips to stay consistent with the content. I am actual doing exactly as you described my content creation schedule, and always have 2 weeks cushion with my content.
The only thing I notice you not mention in this video is about promoting published video … are you ever doing it?
I also plan those activities in order to make sure that all my social media followers will find out that new wideo is up.
What do you think about this?
Greetings from Tenerife (Canary Islands Spain) ☺️
Great info! I think what I learned is I need to simplify things. It would be great if you had a printout to download with this schedule structure on it, or maybe for future videos with a lot of info like this one.
Great idea!
Nice video! I’m going to try this out :)
Thank you so much Nick for these great and very helpful contents of yours. I recently started my channel and I'm currently into this situation where I'm having a hard time finding balance to everything. Before I even started my career in the corporate world, I've been dreaming of this content creator thing but can't a find a way to get started until I finally decided to give it a try. This video and your other videos that I keep watching everyday somehow pushes me to try. I'm still a neophyte in this kind of thing but hopefully someday I can grow my channel, too.
The best thing you can do is start making content. Watching videos won’t help as much as practicing the art of making videos, publishing them and then learning from the responses you get.
Always great advice!
🤓👊
Hey Nick I really appreciate your expertise on content creation I really rock with you 🫵🏾Thanks bro ✋🏾👊🏽✌🏾keep teaching me 👍🏾
Good stuff. This is what I do. I record ahead of time. Makes life sooo much easier. I can release 2 to 3 videos a week. I may ramp it up and live stream 2 to 3 times a week then edit them into highlights. Thanks for the tip.
Side note. Full time dad and work full time as well. Where there us a will. There is a way.
👊 🤓
Thanks
thank u sir
Bringing the gold as ever :)
:) Thanks
Hello great video information Nick
Thx nick❤
Thanks nick I have been rethinking my upload scechual I just moved into my flat and daily upload is aren't working just now so I'm now experimenting with my scechual now. I do UA-cam full-time i'm trying to fit filming content in with my other responsibilities. Keep the good work up nick
👊 🤓
great video thanks
This was 🔥🔥 thank you
👊 🤓
This was a really good video! Thanx!
Glad it was helpful! 🤓 ✋
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Staying consistent with upload schedule 👍🏾✌🏾
Thanks for these mg
Glad you like them!
True. The worst are the first months, then you get used to it... somehow. Went through all of those points, still struggling with making a one week cushion video, animal vloging is tough in that matter x3
Working full tiime and making content is difficult, definitely like to keep a schedule
I'm a full-time working husband and father who's days of are often not the same from week to week so I'm making content between all those thing's along with food shopping household stuff and playing my games and that I need one for my brain and two coz I'm a gaming UA-camr
Just subscribed. Think this is the video I need to watch...
👊 🤓
Great content! Just as a side note : I saw this video with a different title that made me save it for watch it later, and it was more appealing than the current one 👀.
Good to know!
As long as my Saturday morning is open to join you and the #nimminati my schedule is good 😊
👊 🤓
Good ideas
Hi Nick, Excellent thanks. For some reason the next video end card you referred to did not show up for me, could link or title so I can watch. All the best, Ned
This is the video I pointed to - ua-cam.com/video/O7-_InAdltQ/v-deo.htmlsi=nXO3CAF9jqMCMJzc
Great schedule but not if you have kids. Saturday and Sunday are sacred family time. So… what about parents like me?
Adjust. If the days or times don't work for your situation, you move those around to fit.
great channel
Thank you!
I'd love to see some best template crafting practices!
Noted!
Lately VidIQ's videos are way too flashy, the edits are distracting.
Great content , I think this will help a lot of people , I do it too ! thankyou for sharing ! Liked and Subscribed !
Welcome aboard! 🤓✋
I love the idea of this schedule but the problem for me is that there’s no room for Shorts or Lives. Perfectly realize that Lives can fit into that recording time if you plan out your Lives well, but still. I trying to get more consistent with uploads, I just want to do all the things not just long form videos
Do for fun when you have free time, sometimes you don't have the mood, don't worry.
Mindset is everything.
Fear of success…(I know right?) Logically, I know that I’m working hard anyway, so I’m not really going to be working that much harder. I’ll just be making money at it and that makes me feel WAY more accountable. I typically record and edit in the same day, and if it doesn’t have to be up immediately, then I can upload and schedule for publishing the next day. Getting ready for my Live can sink me many times. I really need to start that process the evening before.
If you have the time to do it all in one day that’s even better.
I have a plethora of ideas, and what I have been doing is make the thumbnails first, then that with the basic idea sets the tone for my script. This seems to work well but I am trying to hit th 2 videos a week goal.
Bingo! That's a great flow to start off with.
Nice one Nick. My recording time is mainly on Thursday right after I drop my missus to work and kids to school as I have more peace in the house. I publish mainly on Sunday if I am lucky as I am adding more editing stuff in my videos now than what I used to have before such as sound effects, stickers and transitions. Do you think taking a break for a week is good especially if you miss out on your publish day? And, is it a good idea to publish on Thursday? One last thing, I just hope you are not reading this comment in the loo 😅
Cannot confirm nor deny 😆
If you don't have much data, the day of the week does not matter. Early on, make it work to fit your schedule. Its certainly OK to skip a week if you have any roadblocks along the way.
Hahaha 😄Thanks so much mate. I feel at ease now as I was a little concerned about my uploading schedule but did not want to push myself too much and end up completely not uploading @@NickNimmin
Thabk you❤ shared
You just hearted all of these while on the toilet. I can't unsee that now. 😅
🤣🤣🤣
@@NickNimmin rent free in my brain. I dislike that so much. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤔 ... ⏰ 💩 💥... 😁
Nick, You're a genius!!! Template file for video editing
It helps speed things up.
I like what you say… but… I’m a musician and I have a channel (my other channel) where I put out music performance videos. That adds a whole other level to this content creation thing. I’ve struggled with getting videos published on a regular schedule. I’d like to go once a week, but I need to account for time to practice (I’m a pianist), especially some of the more difficult classical pieces I’m playing. My channel has been rather slow in going anywhere since I started it back in 2019. I’m trying to figure out how to pick up the pace without burning myself out. Of course, I have a full time job that takes up much of my time. What suggestions would you have for a schedule for my situation?
Can you make a video about making thumbnail and title for topics you know you need to make a video for?
Hey Nick NIMMIN 😊👋
🤓 ✋
Answering comments on the toilet. YES! I KNEW I wasn't the only one.😅
Hahahhaa
Just the video I needed a lot of common sense
👊 🤓
Combined with ADHD yeah it’s nearly impossible to do a video every month
