I got this email from Youtube (I never thought that they will send you email and stuff). In the email, it gives me a summary of my channel and some tips on improving the visibility, interactivity and attractiveness of my future video(s).
These are the 5 tips I can do to shake up my channel that Team Youtube gives me.
- Know your Analytics tools. Notice any patterns? Find out what’s working and what isn’t.
- Quality over quantity. Create a release schedule that works for you and your fans.
- Get inspired. Keep your finger on the pulse–watch what other creators are doing, take cues from current events, and stay in tune with pop culture.
- Program with purpose. Set goals, build out a content outline, and remember, do what you love.
- Test, learn, repeat. If it’s working, awesome. If not, try something new!
Youtube also has trainings on various things: Gaming, Collaboration with other Youtubers and such. Collaborating with other Youtubers? I have few names that came across my mind immediately but it has been a while since I see any new stuff from them (they are getting busier I guess off lately to create new videos).
As I browse further on the whatever links that Youtube gives me, I realise that there are serious stuff going on. The training has assessment ok! Man, I should take this thing seriously. I know some of my colleagues might say that I am wasting my time learning this new thing whereas I already bog down with so many other stuff: research, publication, teaching yada yada yada…. the list goes on. But, I should keep myself updated with new ICT skills, right?
Being someone who hold on to the belief of “slow professor“, I need to give myself a chance to learn new thing at my own pace. Some of my colleagues also notice that I am a bit slow in learning ICT. Hey, at least I am trying my best here!
So, should I participate in the Youtube training provided by Youtube Creator Academy? Should I give it a go?
