In the last six months, I did the full circle going from Apple Notes to trying to find a cross platform app — starting with Apple Notes -> OneNote -> Notion -> Obsidian and then back to Apple Notes.
Apple Notes does everything I want it to do but it has one huge flaw - it is Apple-only, which rules out my Windows Desktop. I have a MacBook pro from 2013 that has slowed down a lot and doesn’t offer the latest Notes features out of the box (updated to Sonoma using OCLP, got the features but at the expense of speed and battery power). So I have had very poor Windows experience on iCloud.com and slow Mac experience. Lots of people get around this by either upgrading their Apple devices, or using a cross-platform app like ToDoist, but I didn’t want a paid app - after all I was getting by using the native apps.
Then, I heard the CEO of Notion talk in this video. His ideas really resonated with me and I was impressed by his vision.
See, I am a tinkerer at heart, but when it comes to productivity, I have to have something that works. When Ivan talked about giving “Lego bricks” to adults to build a tool that they can use to do whatever they want and improve their productivity, that really resonated with me.
The mistake I made last time I tried Notion was going for the mobile app first. The experience is bad there unless you come to it from the Desktop app. Also the Notion Calendar app had not launched. So 3 days ago (June 4th, 2024) I watched a few YouTube videos to grab the basics of Notion’s block and database architectures. Then I dove straight in…
The lucky thing was that I came into this just after the recent quality of life improvements and, more importantly, the new Home page with its My tasks widget.
I wanted an app which I could use to organize my life and work using PARA and GTD methods and have been using a combination of Apple Notes, Reminders and Calendar. After Notion rolled out the calendar feature, and more recently its Home feature where you can bring in tasks from different databases, the whole thing clicked.
Here’s how it works: I have an Inbox where the Web Clipper sends things for me to Capture. I then have a Task List (which syncs to the Home page and my Google/Notion Calendar) with tasks that I have clarified to work on. It has reminders so I get notifications on iOS and also have the Notion Calendar widget, populated with my Tasks database items. Placed its Widget on the iOS home screen and BOOM, I can glance at my to-do list everywhere.
Then there is the two-way sync with calendar. Tasks go there automatically, any changes to date/time are reflected automatically. The appointments I set up there show up in my Notion Home page as well. Just brilliant.
Then there is Notion itself - I have now set up a Content page for all the articles/other media I want to keep, neatly organized and sortable. A books list. All the goodies you can achieve with a sea of templates. I thought the sheer number of templates and possibilities with Notion could be a distraction, but if you can keep your focus, you can build exactly what you want with this app to serve your needs. I am now overflowing with productive ideas about learning, blogging, vlogging, archiving, planning work projects etc. etc.
The app also has backlinks, although no graph view a la Obsidian or Roam - which I found to be a gimmick. So no problems there.
And then ton of other useful features — downloadable templates, standard hyperlink to share to non-users, publishing directly to web, support for many Markdown elements, version history, table of contents, export to PDF/CSV/Markdown formats, an API that helps integrate other apps, the community they fostered… the list just goes on and on.
Even the price is right -FREE for personal and limited with sharing. I may even pay for it given how much it can enable me to achieve.
Can it be better? Sure. Here’s what I really want to see to call this app perfect:

1. Offline availability.
2. OCR support for images/searchable PDFs and documents
3. Design improvements to the mobile app - the Remind toggle and the Time dials are too far apart for example
4. More streamlined design
5. End-to-end encryption - unless it breaks features.

The latest Friday review and marketing insights are out on newsletter, one of the sections is below. Let me know what you think:

What did Internet say?

1. People, including some advertisers aren’t happy about unskippable ads on Instagram.
   1. In January, TikTok’s report came out sharing unskippable ads may harm engagement.
2. A new study from Pinterest is making marketers thirsty to join the platform. Why? It shares the platform generates 170% more total attention than other platforms.
   1. I love Pinterest but the platform gaslights you a lot. First, they need to highlight engaged audience on profile instead of total audience. The Total metric is similar to X’s post views. Having more total audience aka views means nothing if people aren’t engaging.
   2. About the study, Pinterest talking about a passive and active attention is important. Most marketers are only after attention as we discussed in a previous post, understanding attention theory is a must.
   3. Yes, People enjoy content on Pinterest as they claim in the study. But people aren’t happy about your ads, the study shows biased in that part.
      1. Most brands aren’t Pinterest-first, A lot of repurposing going. Making people hate the ad experience, Pinterest needs brands that follow more rules of creativity than performance.
3. Departure of Virginie Viard from Chanel is kind of being celebrated by fashion lovers.
4. GQ’s Article ‘Merch is dead’ is getting roasted by Internet’s best newsletters, short answer: Merch is very much alive. My Reads:
   1. Why is wearing merch so embarrassing? by emily north.
   2. Everything is Merch from Ana Andjelic and Eugene Rabkin.
5. Protests against AI training: Adobe and Meta are getting called out for their new terms of use.
   1. First a little rant: INSTAGRAM SUCKS FOR RESEARCH.
      1. There is a viral ‘add yours’ template where creators are sharing their anger against AI. I saw it once in a random story, I can’t find that story or template because there is no feature to do so.
      2. Hashtags no longer show the layout to see recent posts or stories.
   2. #metai #creatorsagainstai and few other hashtags highlight how artists are leaving Meta over AI terms.
      1. Part of the problem is opting out of AI training is not easy. EU’s Noyb has already filed complaint against AI, let’s see what happens in US.
6. Brand Collaborations getting love: Dunkin x Scrub Daddy and Vacation Sunscreen x Erewhon Smoothie.
7. Meta Advertisers: Music on Image Ads is a no + Meta’s test to have multiple objectives under 1 campaign is kind of useless and cash grab.
8. Against the Trend: Dr. Harini Bhat’s 20 minute-long video summary of Flight MH370 felt like a 5-minute video. A masterclass in engaging video storytelling.
9. 🍲 Chipotle: I feel bad for Chipotle’s marketing team, they created the perfect social media post. Only to have their CEO’s interview mess things up, people are now trolling his interview.
10. Recommendations: Christina Garnett’s podcast with copywriting legend, Vikki Ross + A mega post sharing e-commerce funnel creation and examples.
11. Updated Insight: The TikTok guide shared duets and stitches can help your content reach more relevant audiences, as the link juice travels from one video to other.
    1. This recent post from Joanna Williams hinted at another use-case, using amount of organic stitches and duets with creator’s video as a metric for Influencer selection.
12. The Worst: Spotify’s CEO tweets about cost of content being zero. The Online Community didn’t like that, probably because content isn’t free.
    1. Because of CEOs like him, the word ‘content’ is becoming meaningless.

I tried to post earlier but I'm not sure if it went through. If it did and this is just an annoying repeat post, please forgive my stupidity.
Huge ask but is anyone willing to share any bar outlines? Especially need help with MEE subjects J24 is my third time taking and im struggling hard. I was 4 points short my first time and 1 stupid point short in february. I have struggled badly with making concise outlines with any form of structure since school and its going just as poorly this time.
Barbri was a huge failure. I focused on critical pass flashcards and practicing with past essays for f24 and they were helpful but I'm just seriously lacking in a structured format that isn't 80 pages long. ADHD and working full time has complicated things.
Anyway sob story over. I would appreciate any help I can get because I can't handle this again. Let me know and again sorry if this post repeated itself

In the vast landscape of academia, students often find themselves navigating through a myriad of assignments, essays, and projects, each demanding their time, effort, and intellectual prowess. In this journey, one essential tool that students often seek is "assessment help." Whether it's deciphering complex instructions, understanding grading criteria, or simply needing guidance on where to begin, effective assignment help solutions can be the compass that guides students through their academic endeavors.
Understanding the Assignment:
The first step in navigating academia effectively is to understand the assignment thoroughly. This involves dissecting the instructions provided by the professor or instructor. Many students stumble at this stage, either misinterpreting the requirements or overlooking crucial details. Seeking assessment help allows students to clarify any ambiguities and gain a clear understanding of what is expected of them.
Research and Resources:
Once the assignment is understood, the next challenge lies in gathering relevant resources and conducting research. Here, assessment help comes into play by providing students with access to a wealth of academic resources, databases, and libraries. Additionally, expert guidance can assist students in narrowing down their focus, selecting credible sources, and structuring their research effectively.
Writing and Formatting:
With research in hand, the task of writing and formatting the assignment can seem daunting. From crafting a compelling thesis statement to ensuring proper citation and formatting styles, there are numerous pitfalls that students may encounter. Assessment help services offer invaluable support in this regard, providing assistance with writing, editing, and formatting to ensure that the final product meets academic standards and expectations.
Critical Analysis and Review:
Beyond the writing process, effective assignment help solutions also facilitate critical analysis and review. Experienced tutors and mentors can provide feedback on draft submissions, offering insights into areas of improvement and suggesting revisions to enhance the quality of the assignment. This iterative process of review and refinement is essential for academic success and is made more accessible through assessment help services.
Time Management and Deadlines:
In the fast-paced world of academia, time management is crucial. Students often juggle multiple assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities, leading to stress and burnout. Assessment help solutions not only provide assistance with individual assignments but also help students manage their time effectively. By setting realistic goals, creating personalized study plans, and adhering to deadlines, students can navigate through their academic responsibilities with greater ease and efficiency.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, navigating academia can be a challenging yet rewarding journey for students. Effective assignment help solutions, centered around the keyword "assessment help," serve as invaluable resources in this endeavor. From understanding the assignment to conducting research, writing, formatting, and receiving feedback, these services offer comprehensive support at every stage of the academic process. By leveraging assessment help solutions, students can overcome obstacles, enhance their learning experience, and achieve academic success.

I submitted an essay for one of my modules and it got flagged for using of Al. they said "Having read the paper, it does have some of the hallmarks of Al (the formatting, style of language, and lack of relevant references), but as this is their first offence, I would like to give the student the chance to explain whether they have engaged/used Al before making a final decision."
What can I say in my explanation that can help me get out of this? and what would the possible consequences be if I get caught using AI? I tried to ask and no one would lmk.

This is a massive request but is anyone able/willing to share some of their bar outlines?
Not going to go into my sob story but July will be 3rd time (UBE) and I was off by 4 points J23 and by 1 point in F24. ADHD guy and making concise and organized outlines have been my downfall since school. Barbri did not go well and I used critical pass flash cards and practiced with past essays a lot for F24 but I’m still lacking on an organized format to just study the law, mainly the MEE subjects.
It’s a huge ask and I appreciate any and all help.

Have a good day!

Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in the banking sector face unique challenges and opportunities. They need to deliver highly customized and scalable solutions that meet stringent regulatory requirements while remaining flexible and responsive to rapidly changing market demands. Low-code platforms offer a compelling approach to achieve composability, allowing ISVs to build, integrate, and modify applications quickly and efficiently. Here’s a comprehensive look at how low-code platforms can empower banking ISVs through composability.

What is Composability?

Composability refers to the ability to create complex systems by combining and reusing modular components. In the context of banking ISVs, composability allows for the rapid assembly and reconfiguration of applications using pre-built, interoperable components. This modular approach enhances agility, scalability, and innovation.

Benefits of Low-code Composability for Banking ISVs

1. Speed to Market:
   • Accelerate the development and deployment of banking solutions with visual development tools and pre-built components.
   • Quickly adapt to new regulatory requirements and market changes.
2. Cost Efficiency:

YouTube Advice for Creators under 10,000 Subscribers that are struggling… also might apply to anyone under 100K.
This will help you not only grow an audience but make time if you work a full-time job, prioritize the right tools, and that matters most and least.
**IGNORE this advice if you only want to do YouTube as a fun hobby, in which case stop worrying about growth and make whatever you want...
This is an extremely long post with several sections covering MAKING CONTENT FIRST and how to improve the quality of whatever you make, then it will get more deeply into audience growth and strategy later on...
If you want to grow your audience, and you are a working class creator (works 40+ hours and may or ma not have a family, or is a full-time student), then you can't prioritize "Quality over Quantity"...
Now before you stop reading, lets breakdown why.
LACK OF TIME FREEDOM AND RESOURCES.
You need to be getting out 1-2 videos per week, not just to post anything or to post garbage to check a box, but to gain valuable experience and to become a FASTER video editor overall. Aim for at least 100 videos a year, this will become important later in the STRATEGY SECTION.
SPEED is your greatest ally in growth, along side PATIENCE.
When your limitation is scraps of time and scraps of energy you need SPEED and FOCUS to be able to grow as a content creator.
Plan your videos in advance, and your videos need to focus on ONE AUDIENCE.
ONE AUDIENCE, ONE CHANNEL.
Otherwise you spread yourself too thin, the grass grows greener where you water it.
Each video can't take more than 5-10 hours to turn around for now. If you get some free time like a vacation or time off or a holiday, you can make a "banger" video a few times a year that you pour 20-40 hours into.
But this should wait until you have more experience and resources. The YouTubers you admire have 40 hours a week to do nothing but make content and can hire other people.
You can't expect to close that gap with your scraps of spare time and energy after being exhausted at the job all week. You have to do what you can with what you have, until you can do better. And that's okay.
Don't try to OVER EDIT and be fancy when you are starting out as a creator. Edit enough to eliminate distractions and to enhance the best parts and most important parts of a video.
Instead put more thought into the IDEA/TOPIC and who it appeals to. Focus on SCRIPTING, STRUCTURE, and STORYTELLING.
FOR FAST EDITING learn a program that you can grow with, iMovie is TOO LIMITING and takes longer to basic task than it should, its main appeal is that it is FREE.
For Fast Editing, use Adobe Rush or Capcut.
If you want something FREE but really good that can compete with BIG YOUTUBERS and has almost no limitations use DaVinci Resolve.
I am an Adobe power user and have been for 20+ years so I use Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Audition for my editing workflow, and have made several tutorials on it.
The editing techniques you should prioritize:

• COLOR CORRECTION
• CORRECTING AUDIO
• CUTTING AND VIDEO TRACK LAYERING
  
• ADDING BACKGROUND MUSIC
  
• ADDING B-ROLL
  
• ADDING TRANSITIONS
  
• AUDIO MIXING AND EQ
  
• COLOR GRADING
  
• MOTION GRAPHICS
  

If you can learn these then you can move on to the following:

• SPEED RAMPING (TIMELAPSE/SLOWMO)
• MULTI-CAM EDITING
• GREEN SCREEN EDITING

Aside from specific special effects or techniques from individual Big YouTubers or Films, these are the only editing techniques the majority of creators will need to know to make their content.
I also recommend learning them in more or less this order of priority, as it will apply to most content.
Beyond that, focus on your PERFORMANCE, PERSONALITY, and PRODUCTION QUALITY.
Good Audio Matters, but so does your on camera delivery. Learn to deliver on camera with confidence and pay attention to your body language, posture, facial expressions, tonality, inflection, speech patterns.
You can improve all of this for FREE and it will cost you $0 and make any video 10X better, just by being a better on-camera personality and working on being a better performer.
If you can either do Toastmasters to learn public speaking, do open mic nights to practice and gain confidence, or look into paying for improv classes.
For production quality, the most important investments even if you're going to use the camera on your phone, are AUDIO and then LIGHTING.
You'll want to buy lighting because then you can control when you film, if you only use natural lighting the window for your ability to film is more limited and you may not have the energy just because the timing was good for the daylight hours.
For Affordable Lighting the best and most reasonable brands are Neweer, Aputure and Godox.
If you don't wear glasses get an $80 Ring Light
If you where glasses avoid ring lights and panel lights and get a COB light from Aputure or Godox Instead for $150-$200. When you can move to a 2x to 3x light setup or use a 1 light setup with a lantern diffuser or dome. Position the light slightly above you and directly in front of you.
If you have to use panel lights and you ear glasses, light from the sides. If you need to film in front a whiteboard for any reason, also light from the sides.
For Audio You want to get a microphone as close to as possible. There are good wireless mics that plug into phones for under $30. Don't avoid getting a dedicated microphone.
If filming at a desk use a podcast mic from Shure or Elgato. These are under $200 but will be one of your best investments.
For Cameras and Lenses, the LENS CONTROLS THE LOOK OF VIDEOS. Remember this rule from now on.
The "cinematic" look with blurry background (depth of field) is a result of "Fast Lenses" lenses capable of a F/1.2, F/1.4, F/1.8, F/2.0 or F/2.8 aperture, sometimes called F STOP.
This allows you or the subject to be in focus and the background to be blurry. This is the "Big YouTuber Look" in videos you admire.
It can be faked with some modern smartphones, but its better with a real camera.
The most affordable cameras to produce this look that change lenses and are decent are the Sony ZVe10 and the Sony a6700. If you want something for under $700 that doesn't have interchangable lenses but can still achieve this look get the Sony ZV1F or the Sony ZV1.
These are your most affordable "Vlog Style" cameras that have a flip out screen and have audio jack inputs for microphones, and have all the modern features a content creator needs.
For camera lenses the most affordable prime lenses (no zoom) for talking head videos with blurry background look are going to be the 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm. For small rooms and the most options including streaming, you will want the 24mm lens.
Vlogger Matt D'avella uses the 24mm look in his videos.
If you like close up shots the 35mm and 50mm are the most flattering. For vloggers the 20mm is best overall.
When you can afford it the most versatile lenses for YouTubers are the f/2.8 16-35mm lens and the f/2.8 24-70mm.
CONTENT STRATEGY
This is the part most of you came for but strategy won't help poorly made content... and even if it could that would be at the audiences expense and unfair to viewers.
Content Strategy revolves around VIEWS, , SUBSCRIBERS, AND MONETIZATION. These are your main YouTube Metrics.
Views = Value to Viewer Subscribers = Support/Status Monetization = Money
Put another way
Views = Traffic Subscribers = Trust Monetization = Transaction
To get to 1,000 Subscribers you generally need to target getting your first 100,000 views from LONG FORM CONTENT.
None of what we discuss here will apply to Short Form Creators.
Usually I tell Creators that for getting 1000 Subscribers and 4000 watch hours in 12 months their target should be to make 100 videos, and average 1000 lifetime views per upload with an average view duration of about 3 minutes. 4000 Watch Hours is 240,000 Minutes, so 300,000 minutes (5000 hours) will give them a safety margin.
100 videos is 2 uploads per week for a whole year, and so it makes math easy and the goal obtainable.
10 Get to 10,000 Subscribers we have to be more aggressive and the goal is not necessarily to go from 0 to 10,000 in one year, if you have a lot of limitations on time and resources and have not learned video production and editing thoroughly.
Realistically your first year of content creation will be struggling to get out 1 video per week, and it will probably not be focused an intentional content, and will be expression.
For most of you the best thing would be to make a "throw away" YouTube channel where you can post everything you're passionate about and get it out of your system so you can not feel stifled and free up your mind. That channel is not about growth. Its about learning.
Most your favorite creators didn't grow until their 2nd or 3rd YouTube channel because they needed to experiment with expression and get some skills under their belt before they could focus on pleasing an audience.
The Strategy for someone FOCUSING on GROWTH and trying to grow to 10,000 subscribers using the 1% rule is to try to get their first 1 MILLION channel views without going viral, and using only LONG FORM CONTENT.
If you wanted to try to achieve this in a year, the goal would be to make 100-150 videos in a year with an average of 8000-10,000 views across these videos.
The most practical way to do that is to focus on ONE AUDIENCE. When we say "niche down" we really don't mean "one topic" so much as ONLY TOPICS THIS ONE GROUP CARES ABOUT.
You can think of this as picking your table at lunch. Are you sitting with the Goth Kids, The Jocks the Chess Club, the Cheerleaders? These groups all have different interest, priorities, preferences and culture.
You would struggle in appeasing and uniting all of them.
For getting Views, you have to know what people give attention to, and attention isn't gained by video editing, its retained by it...
So attention is gained by TOPIC, TITLE, THUMBNAIL, TIMING/TREND.
This is what communicates and demonstrates VALUE FOR THE VIEWER.
We will disqualify you from attention if you're covering a TOPIC we don't care about, it doesn't matter how good the video is.
The TITLE communicates the topic and that and TIMING decide if its MORE RELEVANT TO US than other videos fighting for our attention at the moment.
THUMBNAILS are who you get us to look your way and PAY ATTENTION to you. Dress to Impress.
The Framework I teach my coaching clients for thumbnails is the VIBES Framework:
VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE AT A GLANCE INTERESTING AT A GLANCE BOLD COLORS, CONTRAST AND TEXT EYE CATCHING ELEMENTS SOCIAL PROOF/ STATUS
A thumbnail should have all or most of these elements and you can see MOST thumbnails that get views on YouTube tend to have some of these in common.
The exception(s) to this don't negate the rule (and by rule we mean common pattern or trend), so please stop bringing them up, since it won't apply to you.
Titles are not supposed to be "SEO FRIENDLY" its TOPICS that would be SEO Friendly, this is a common point of confusion.
And SEO or Search Friendly Content isn't really for those of you who want to be entertainers, it is for those of you in niches like tech, beauty, finance, podcasting, product reviewers, tv show reviewers, reaction channels, or those making tutorial content, or covering news/poltiics.
You can worry about it less or not at all if you are an entertainment based YouTuber doing vlogs, pranks, gameplay, storytelling, spectacle, etc..
In general TITLES should be about what the Viewer will value and identify with.
One common method I teach is "Ambition vs Anxiety" Framing. The thing you want be true, or the thing you are afraid is true. Sometimes both in the same title.
Example: "97% of YouTube Channels Fail: How to Succeed as a Small YouTuber".
This video has 93,000 Views.
It frames an anxiety trigger "failure" but also teases and ambition trigger "success" but also uses a very eye catching data point...
The hook at the beginning of the video cites several pieces of data to support the claim in the title.
Titles that use emotional triggers will get more clicks and thumbnails that tell a story in a glace without giving away the whole video but can illustrate the main IDEA, will be a winning combination for a creator.
For this reason you need to focus on the IDEA/TOPIC, and the THUMBNAIL and TITLE combo, before you make the video, it can't be an after thought you spend 5 minutes on.
Should you use templates?
For most of you need templates because you're bad typography (choosing and arranging fonts properly) and bad a color theory and design and don't know what a good layout is and how to make those decisions.
Templates where you can swap out your custom photos and rewrite the text, at least mean that instead of a "unique" thumbnail that is bad, you can have a generic thumbnail that is acceptable.
It is better for you to wear a school uniform and then stand out with a scarf or a pin or a hat... and be just above generic...
Than to be original and have it be tacky, ugly, and be avoided.
So while I understand the logic on custom thumbnails being better. its only better if it comes out looking good.
Good Looking and Generic > Unique and Ugly.
For most of you this already solves a lot of the problem, unless you don't even know what to make or who your audience/niche should be.
For figuring this out I have made several videos and live streams you can watch that explain these things in detail and I do suggest you actually sit through them when you have time.
But a short answer is that you should do the following:
Something you are passionate about but only if you're good at it or can be become good at it reasonably fast. The exception is if you're going to document a journey.
Whatever you pick you should be able to prove that it has a large enough audience.
The way you do this is identify if there are several channels with 100K to 1M subscribers doing this type of content.
IF NOT, and you are determined to build the niche yourself, you can, but don't cry about how hard it is or how slow and painful it is.
You're trying to build an oasis in a desert at that point, and you probably don't have the experience, expertise, resources or support to pull that off... so be self aware.
You want to also consider your own reality and situation, if you want to do this as a career and not a hobby you need to consider if your niche has good money in it and a variety of monetization opportunities.
Are there a lot of sponsors in this niche? IF you struggle to find creators doing sponsored content, and can't name 5-10 sponsors for this sort of content, then it will be very difficult to go full-time.
If you can't think something you can sell to the audience in this niche, you will be beholden to how many views you can get for Adsense and how many brands are willing to work with you... and how long you can stay relevant.
This is why its important to decide if you are going to be a hobby creator, who will go full-time if you're fortunate enough to happen to grow, or if you are building a career as a creator intentionally and are trying to grow and monetize sustainably long-term.
What are you passionate about? What are you good at? What has an audience? What makes money?
It should qualify to check all 4 of those boxes.
Look up my video on IKIGAI.
SUBSCRIBERS?
How to do we turn viewers into subscribers on long form content?
We go off of the 1% rule here which is why for 1000 subscribers you need 100,000 views, and for 10,000 you need 1 Million views and for 100,000 you need 10M views (on average).
Some niches like gaming, are much harder to convert viewers to subscribers and have a Viewer to Subscriber Conversion rate of .3% or .5% instead of the general 1%.
This is a far more important success metric than "view to subscriber ratio on each upload".
Do subscribers matter?
To the ALGORITHM? NO. It doesn't particularly help distribution in a "meaningful way", its marginal.
For most of you reading this if you have viewers at all 50% to 80% of your views on all videos are from NON-SUBSCRIBERS.
Don't be sad about this, as it means you have great growth potential to convert those people.
It just means that we have to accept that in an ALGORITHM driven platform "audience loyalty" is a luxury, since platforms distribute content to viewers based on whats good for the platform, not whats good for the creator...
Its highly likely your subscribers aren't always given the opportunity to even know when you are uploading...
Which is why Creators who upload on a scheduled day and or time and stream on a scheduled day or time, tend to have higher audience loyalty from Returning Viewers in their analytics.
To turn viewers into Subscribers is where HIGH QUALITY content and HIGH EFFORT content can come into play.
If you are a working class creator with limited time, you need to make videos of ACCEPTABLE QUALITY, and this means the audio has to be good, and the editing should focus on accuracy and eliminating distractions.
Here PERSONALITY AND PERFORMANCE are your chance to stand out and shine.
You have to build LIKE AND TRUST with anyone who gives your video a chance.
When you can't out compete on the highest quality in your niche, win on consistency.
If you can make acceptable quality content that only improves a little with every single upload, if you can upload 3-5 times a week and go live once a week, in a niche where the most popular creators only upload 1-2 times per week, you can feed the audience that is HUNGRY FOR MORE.
You content be comes supplemental and support content, for people who aren't satisfied with ONLY what they get from the largest Creators.
You could also position as the alternative point of view to the most popular creators in a niche.
The main thing is to create a QUALITY EXPERIENCE, we will keep coming back to whoever provides a good time, and we will also support someone what we feel provided us VALUE.
The content in terms of production and editing doesn't have to be over the top, if it is acceptable but the PERSONALITY AND PERFORMANCE of the creator are GREAT then we can easily support them and subscribe to them and share their content.
For growth also remember the value of community. If you're small, you should REPLY TO EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and be thoughtful.
Here are also 4 things the ALGORITHM can't do anything about that help growth:

• SCHEUDLE
• SEARCH
• SHARES
• SHOUTOUTS

If you're benefiting from these, then the algorithm would have to quite literally shadow ban you for you not grow.
You need to consider NON ALGORITHM EVENTS in your growth strategy and not always "Let YouTube Take the Wheel".
Is there more to growth and content strategy than this? YES.
Is there information here that doesn't apply to your situation? YES.
Does this work for every single creator if they follow it without exception? NO.
Does that matter. NO.
This information, has the highest overall probability of solving most of your issues when it comes to not growing as a content creator.
For most of you... not growing boils down to a HARSH TRUTH that is pretty brutal.
You don't want to server an audience, you want to please yourself with what you are posting, and be validated for it...
Because you are looking for an audience and attention validate you for being you, because you likely haven't experienced that before or enough... and you desperately want to feel seen...
This is human and normal, so I'm not putting you down for it, even if that is what it feels like.
But the BLUNT TRUTH as brutal as it is, will be that NONE OF THAT is the problem of the viewer, and they likely don't care... and that is reflected in the growth you are not getting.
My compromise if for you to SERVE AN AUDIENCE ON YOUTUBE...
And then express yourself on INSTAGRAM/TIKTOK an ask your YouTube audience to support you there where you can post whatever you want, whenever you want and not niche down, and just have people support you no matter what.
As for those of you who want to go full-time, most full-time creators, make their money from sponsors and not Adsense.
Do sponsored content but also UGC (reference my live stream about this for a full guide) and get 3-5x brands that you can work with for a minimum of $1000-$3000 a month each depending on what they need from you.
If you can do that with long-term 12 month contracts you can make a Ful-time living as a content creator.
For early monetization use the Amazon Influencer Program and it's affiliate links and make sure to use these with the YouTube community tab. This is underrated for making money.
YouTube can be a full-time income if you approach it intentionally and strategically.
Treat it with the respect of a real job, because trust me it is TAXED the same as one (actually more due to 15% self employment tax in America)
Keep in mind you also have to make 30% more than your job … because you have to cover your taxes but also pay for private healthcare coverage.
I can make a post about full-time YouTube and healthcare coverage, taxes and insurance coverage for your gear and media insurance if anyone is really interested in that.
I hope you find this helpful.
I will try to reply to questions.

I'm using LibreOffice Community 7.4.7.2 on Debian 12 (Bookworm).
I'm trying to create a database of addresses to be inserted individually in a template letter,
Are there any guides available for that kind of task?
The document format will ultimately be pdf.

I'm looking for ANY kind of template, new or old that has that kind of employee instructions format that goes like this:
Johnny does [insert task] every time.
Billy doesn't [insert task] ever.
Be like Johnny! Don't be a Billy.
I don't know if this makes sense to anyone but me but would be forever grateful since I wouldn't even know what to throw in a search engine.
Thanks!

Kajabi also offers templates for various pages and if-then scenarios for automation. It also has a native email provider that helps track email open rates. Kajabi can be connected to other apps through Zapier’s automated workflows, allowing for automatic notifications for new purchases and access to products. The basic plan starts at $119/month for one site, three products, three funnels, 1,000 active customers, and unlimited marketing emails and landing pages.

Which online course platform is best for you?

Online course creation platforms can help individuals achieve their teaching goals, grow their audience, or earn income from their courses. To launch a course, consider factors like budget, time constraints, online following, and earning potential. Start with a course marketplace for testing and then launch your own course website after validating the topic and content. Most platforms support content migration, either free or an added fee. The goal is to focus on the content, not the process of delivering it to the audience.
