Slightly off track to start, but I just discovered the the duck song was posted to YouTube 16 years ago and has had 674 million views since then. . It’s actually quite a good intro to the subject of publish or perish because it’s so stupid that the decision to publish could have easily gone the other way. Over 600 million views with the possibility of sales of the products listed has to have made some decent income. Even income from the ads that YouTube would have run over the years could have made decent money. So, checking out the channel reveals that the creator has a bunch of lego stories etc. and almost none of the videos has his face or voice in them. 175 videos so far in 7 or so different themes over 16 years is around 10 per year. Did I hear someone say they didn’t have time to make a lot of videos? Surely anyone would have enough time in a month to make one video. This channel breaks all the rules. Occasional posts, short videos (most under 3 minutes), entertainment only, little in the way of descriptions or keywords. This has to be as close to passive income as you can get. Do you think this person spends more than an hour a week on average doing anything with these videos? It has to be even easier with AI now than it was 16 years ago with the video creation tools available then. None of us know what the public will like, so publish what you have. Create something else and publish that. Do that regularly and things will happen. Publish incognito if you prefer, but publish somewhere. Regards, P.S. I was checking some of my ignored and untouched for years websites today and found more with quite good traffic. As I’ve said before, any website gets some traffic if there are a couple of links to them. Build some here, https://burt.gumroad.com/l/zero-risk, and add some links to them from FB, YT, etc. Add some links between them where it makes natural sense, but not excessively. You will get traffic. What will you do with that? |
