I don't think it is a big deal if you use AI. You can also generate some ideas to bring to someone too. So you can feel better about it being made by human hands. I personally don't see an issue with using it for things like this.

If the intro is too long, you run the risk of people leaving. The first 10 to 30 seconds are very important. You want to draw people in. So I would say that outros are fine, even longer ones (up to 20 seconds) but you have to be careful with intros. Keep them short, very short.

From what I have read, it can be hit and miss. It can help you or it can be useless. It likely comes down to what information you are using to grow your channel and what topics you cover. If it is news/current things, I don't think it will be useful.

I noticed on all social media platforms including ones like YouTube and Reddit, there is AI content being pumped into them every day. A lot of it is low-quality stuff too. The issue is that because it can be generated so fast, it is taking over platforms. Any time I search for anything on YouTube, X, Reddit, ect. Ever other result seems to have AI involved. For people that rely on social media for their business or income stream, how do you compete with this? Can you use AI to compete with AI?

Hostinger and GoDaddy have AI hosting models. Not sure if this is something your friend would want or need as well. I was messing around with GoDaddy's earlier this year.

The standard package is $99 a month, for 10 accounts. I feel like there should be a cheaper option for someone just looking to use it for one or two accounts. I was reading up on it and watched a few videos. I was ready to sign up for it but not for this much. I assumed it would be like $10 or maybe $20 at most a month.

Exactly right. If you make videos that people get bored of part of the way through, they will stop watching and go elsewhere. But like with everything else, it does take time to build up a following.

Do promo codes for it on social media. Find relevant posts and make posts about the things you sell with a special code to get a discount. Just make sure to put a time limit on them when you do this. I have heard of this helping a decent bit.

Keywords. It is really simple now. The issue is that you are competing with hundreds of thousands of videos being uploaded every day. So you might get recommended for some stuff, and another video you make might get absolutely no traction at all.

What is this pertaining to? A self-hosted platform? YouTube? Another social account? It matters in what context your are asking. It sounds like you are asking in terms of YouTube and in that case, it just takes time. Only a few people strike gold right away.

Yup! It is because these things are too easily botted. I mentioned this in another thread. A lot of social platforms switched to different metrics to rate quality content and for YouTube, the best measure for this is watch time retention.

Check the DNS. Sometimes that could be viewed as invalid and you have to switch it from DNS online to proxied. This could also be why one works and the other is getting an error. I hope something gets sorted. I know how annoying Cloudflare errors can be!

AI is an amazing tool and I have no issue with it being such. My issue is that a lot of people without a skill set are using it to mass produce content online that is drowning out everything else. I have seen it all over social platforms everything from YouTube to niche forums like this one.

It is usually because of search engines. The bulk of your traffic comes from people Googling terms and clicking onto your URL. If Google (or other search engines) decide that your page isn't as valuable, it will get pushed down the page list for search results. This could quickly kill off a website in terms of traffic.

Well, I wouldn't want to have one site fall off either so I understand. I think you can adjust your schedule to have time for both. Instead of working on both all the time, give each site set time for each week. Maybe 2 or 3 days each.

I noticed when I do more replies, it boosts things. I don't think it is so much about likes as it is views and interactions now. Likes can be easily botted so social sites don't use it as a metric for promotion as much anymore.

For people that offer products or services, how often do you have sales in an attempt to get more people to spend their money? It seems like most companies run sales all the time now but they just pick and choose different items in which to put on sale. I seldom see an online store without sales or deals happening.

I am not but I noticed so many various companies are, ones that I would not have even expected. I have even seen France and Japan both celebrating America's 250th birthday too which is nuts to me. I guess any excuse to have an event and celebrate while making some extra cash haha

I figured it out, thanks! For some reason it wasn't allowing my to access it but it was down to my browser blocking it for some reason. I was playing around with it the free features and I was honestly quite impressed!

I didn't actually consider this nor think of it. I know that Gamestop as well is going to struggle moving forward with video games going digital completely in the next few years. I hope that is not the case. A lot of us collectors will be disapointed! I will have to keep this in mind though.

It can't hurt to put it on both though like I mentioned. Focus on YouTube for sure but you can just make a secondary channel on Rumble. Even if it doesn't do as good or much at all, it will be there if they ever decide to fix their platform..

For me, it was time investment. You have to be willing to invest a good amount of time and it will almost always be unpaid. This is especially true when you are at the starting line or your business is still in its infancy.

Ironically enough, AI. LOL! I ask AI to give me updates on advancements and things changed on all or certain AI systems. There are a lot of useless AI models so I wouldn't bother with most of them. Just focus on the big 3 to 5 ones.

Rumble has the potential to be great if they stopped pushing politics so much and fixed their algorithm and search engine. I have been wanting a YouTube alternative for years and I want to like Rumble but I just can't get into using it with these annoyances. I am not sure if it is worth it or not for content creators BUT they do allow you to put content you do on YouTube on their platform, may as well do both right?

I think this depends on what kind of work you do. Yes, being able to code can help you make custom websites, apps, etc. for your business and save you the cost of having to pay someone else but how realistic is it for most people to need such a skill?
