It sounds like you're on the right track with consistent posting! Sometimes, it’s not just about posting often, but making sure your content resonates with your audience. Have you tried experimenting with different formats like personal stories, case studies, or even polls to spark more engagement ...

To be fair, consistency work way more than chasing trends for me. I’ve tried both and anytime I go quiet for one week, my reach just dies. Once I resumed steady uploads, my impressions started rising again. I think YouTube algorithm loves active channels. I still jump on trending topics once in a ...

YouTube algorithm don't ever rest 😅. Last week my views just dropped out of nowhere, like the system get mood swings. I’ve been studying my analytics lately, and I think audience retention and CTR matter way more now than keywords. Once people start bouncing off early, the video just dies quick. I ...

Yeah US pays more but don't obsess over it

when i only targeted US: 180k views, $1,656/month
when i went global: 520k views, $2,496/month

lower RPM but way more views = more total money

plus sponsorships care about total reach not just geography

I'll take 500k global views over 200k US views any ...

Don't try to do everything at once

months 0-6: just adsense
months 6-12: add affiliates
months 12-18: add sponsorships
months 18-24: create digital product

my income went from $280 to $500 over 30 months following this

Yes you'll get demonetized constantly

40% of my videos get limited ads or no ads

topics that always get hit:

• politics
• violence
• anything with profanity in title
• covid stuff

i lose about 40% of potential revenue to demonetization

if you do it, diversify income. don't rely on adsense

I ran an experiment

lots of ads: made more money first month but traffic dropped over 6 months
fewer ads: made less at first but traffic grew and ended up making way more

too many ads pisses off readers and they don't come back

I use 3 ads per post max now

I got banned last year. filed two appeals. both denied

harsh truth: 90% of adsense bans are permanent

switched to ezoic and now make more than i did with adsense anyway

file the appeal but have a backup plan ready

Why pick one? do both

I keep adsense on all my posts. then add affiliate links where it makes sense

adsense = passive income from everyone
affiliates = bigger money from people who actually buy

together i make $4,500/month from 3k daily visitors
