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.

How to Create Video Titles for YouTube That Aren’t Clickbait? (Grok Diary – Day 182)

I hate these clickbait videos. When I started doing YouTube, I decided to never use my face with a weird expression in the thumbnail or a clickbait title. I’m surely losing out on a bigger audience, but I’d rather be authentic and honest to build a good community long-term than having short-term success with something that I hate as a content consumer.
