Next Topic: Grok’s Top 30 Writing Tips (Grok Diary – Day 187)

I like to ask Grok in between what bigger topic to focus on. This gives me ideas for the future. However, Amazon Ads is something that I only want to start looking into when I’ve got the basic set up of my author platform finished. Maybe it’s a topic for year 2 or even year 3 in the 5-year-project.

In September I’m going to ask Grok for the top 30 writing tips instead. That is certainly a more beginner-friendly topic than paid ads.

Is YouTube the Only Video Platform to Focus on? (Grok Diary – Day 186)

A couple of years ago, I tested BitChute, Odyssee and Rumble. I couldn’t find traction with tutorials or video essays. It seems like these platforms are primarily made for creators and audiences who where booted from YouTube after the 2016 election.

Sadly, YouTube definitely needs a good competitor to do better.

Should Authors Livestream on YouTube? (Grok Diary – Day 184)

Livestreaming is very far at the end of my to-do-list. Without a basic audience it might be just a waste of time. I once had a podcast about fitness and nutrition in German. I didn’t really go through the roof and it never created a good funnel for podcast-listeners to check out the website and books about fitness and health that I had back then.

So, find an audience first, livestream later.

Should Authors Make Vlogging Videos on YouTube? (Grok Diary – Day 183)

I always wanted to do it. But then chronic health issues stopped me before even starting. I’m currently in consultation with the doctors – wish me luck. If my health issues are ever solved, vlogging is still something I want to get in to. It helps people connect with you, you can get into cinematography and video editing, and it gives you a reason to experience new things.

Sure, it’s time consuming. But if you ever find an audience, vlogging might be the best content to make for any niche. If I were healthy, I’d do it right away.
