 Hello and welcome to my day five of cedar content creation vlog my little update on my progress towards All of the stuff I'm doing for cedar. I've not got a huge amount to update on today I've got a few little things to talk about but then I have got something that happened this morning Which I'm still a little bit mystified by but to be honest, which is that I've had a bit of a Bit of a breach of YouTube's community guidelines. So I'll be talking about that in a little while yesterday I was talking about how I'd Uploaded some videos to YouTube I've uploaded three videos and then had a sort of complete change of plan about the actual flow of my my TubeBuddy video series So decided to just rerecord them So I did rerecord them and yesterday I was at the point on my blog on my vlog at this time yesterday where I had I'd uploaded the three new videos So I went into YouTube studio and I deleted the old ones went and added in my thumbnails my descriptions and everything like that I put posted one live immediately and I scheduled the second one And then the third one I was going to leave to come back to a little bit later Well, when I came to do the third one a little bit later having actually posted the first one and the second one was scheduled I realized I deleted the wrong three Deleted the ones that I was intending to be the new ones and I'm posted the the the ones that I was going to take down So hey Paul It's already coming off the rails day five So So yeah, what I did was I am in the end I just decided to take down the one that was live and then that so there's this one down here that I've got This one is now private so this one I did actually post it got 34 views, but it was the wrong. It was the wrong first video So I deleted the other two and re-uploaded the three that should have gone out And so this one here it was about to buddy 12 minutes 57 should actually have been where is it this one 18 minutes 27 So I just thought Screw it. I'll take down the other one and put up the one that should have been there all along So so yeah corrected that and this is something that I'm finding about this whole process of cedar as you have can tell From my past few days. There's been a few little screw-ups here in there There've been a few things that of little hiccups along the way and that's part of the reason for me doing this really it's because I want to get into this flow of and and Establish a workflow for sort of batch producing these videos because up until now what I've been doing on my channel is Basically, I would just sort of you know wake up in the morning Choose a video from my video list of videos to make Make the video and then I mentioned on one of my live streams a couple of weeks ago Where I've just got a button that I press after I finish recording press the button And it does everything for me in terms of it opens up YouTube studio. It starts uploading the video that I've just made Excuse me. This is all with keyboard maestro It starts uploading the video that I've just made it opens my thumbnail editor It opens or rather opens my thumbnail in Photoshop. I should say to make the thumbnail and it opens up my List with all of my time stamps in if I've been making my time stamps throughout the video all that sort of stuff So everything's just pretty much done with the push of a button for me to then just go and like enter the information So enter the title and description or that sort of stuff create the thumbnail and Upload that one and all that sort of thing. So what I'm finding now though is because I'm doing you know, like a load of thumbnails I'm doing a load of videos and things like that. I haven't quite got myself into the the proper workflow of it whereby it's all just coming at You know coming naturally to me. So that's why mistakes are being made So hopefully though by the end of April This should all just become second nature And I'll have a real idea of the best way to structure this so that I can spend like a day creating content And then that will be the content done for a week or two weeks or whatever it happens to be We'll have to see how much I can get through in it in an average day. And so that's the that's the point of Of of all of this that I'm doing at the moment is just to get better at this bulk producing process I'm sure I'll get the little hiccups. I end out at some point along the way. So this morning though Or in fact, let me just quickly jump over to my analytics And I'll show you something in here I got a new little symbol that I hadn't seen before in my analytics this morning So we've got this little little symbol here little looks like graduates cap or something like that And it's put up this little thing saying and it's an experimental feature apparently looking good Your channel's views are up 45% as you publish more videos than before so that makes sense But when you click on the the tell me more What's interesting is it's telling me over the last week you've published You've published more videos driving more viewers to your channel and on average You were able to get the about the same number of views per video as before I reflect on the types of content you Your audience likes most and how often you're willing to publish find a balance that works for you So it's interesting that obviously it's clearly picked up the fact that I've been posting more than usual It was also interesting that it noted that there was about the same number of views as before So I'm pleased to see that that people aren't quite sick of the sight of me yet We'll see how it gets to the end of it by the end of the month But yeah, it's just interesting that we've got that little extra Sort of notification that was put up. So what else happened today though was when I woke up I arrived to this particular email here which said Our team has reviewed your comfort content and unfortunately we think it violates our harmful and dangerous policy We've removed the following content from youtube and it's a video that I did all about Downy so the video title here is easily download video from almost any website using downy app for mac It's part of the setup bundle It's one of the apps that I've reviewed as part of all of the the others. Oh, hey keely Sorry, I've just looked down at my chat great to see you Um, so um, so yeah, it's one of the videos that I've done as part of my sort reviews of all the apps in the setup bundle I don't know that it's a you know an illegal app or anything like that You know, it is quite a quite a popular App and lots of people use it. I could obviously see that well Maybe they don't like me making videos about something that is teaching people how to download videos from youtube So there is that of course Um, but then a quick search on youtube just does reveal that there are Quite a lot of other People making videos about set up. So not least is sorry about Downy not least is actually set up themselves So the setup youtube channel Um covers Downy and so do other people So it's not specifically that uh, they've got an issue with Downy as such necessarily So I'm still at a bit of a loss as to why it was I did review it I did request a review. So if you it says here, um, if you think that um It needs to be reviewed click on review if I share the right thing So I did click on that and I got a pretty quick response back So it's quite good that they are, you know responsive to these things Although the response was sorry We reviewed it and we still think that it's in violation of this this policy So, uh, yeah, just a little bit a little bit weird really and I don't quite understand why that is What I have done though is I have then tweeted out to um Because there's there's no way of me finding out specifically what I've done. I have read the guidelines I don't see anything in the guidelines that I've done that is You know against any terms and conditions I did send a tweet out to youtube liaison on twitter You know asking them if they can tell me a way that I can find out because it's not a case of you know I'm not bitter about it I understand that there are guidelines and if I've fallen foul of one of them then Totally right that my thing should be taken down. The only thing is I just like to know exactly what it is So that going forward I can try and steer clear of these things because when you do have these things if I come over to Here if I come over to my dashboard Then in my dashboard, you can see up at the top now. I've got this this little new red box It's like a new feature that I've got Unfortunately, it's called channel violations And it's giving me this warning and if you click on it It will tell you that you know the videos that I've had a warning on the appeal was rejected And also it's obviously a case of if I was to keep going And do these sorts of things again not knowing what I'm doing The first step is a warning. Then there is strike one strike two strike three And it says that if you get a strike Your channel will get a strike and you won't be able to do things like upload post or live stream for a week A second strike will prevent you from publishing content for two weeks Three strikes in any 90 day period will result in the permanent removal of your channel So, you know, it's something that I don't really want to fall foul of I'm sure that you know, just going and making the sorts of content that I do is unlikely But there again, I still don't know what was quite wrong with him. So, so yeah, that's just that That's just a little bit of news from me incidentally that video though It was if I come into my analytics, it was my second highest ranking video if I go to my all time stats Go to lifetime and then what we'll do is if I come down here It's not there now because it's gone So it has been taken down. But if you look at my stats here for my views my highest Ranking video in terms of views is. Oh, hey, Sammy. Just noticed you pop in great to see you Sammy The highest ranking video I've got in terms of views is this one 12900 for I was wrong about profiles. It's the video I made all about why I changed over from Using folders on my stream deck to using profiles and you can see that that's considerably more than the next most Popular one, which it was up until this morning or last night, whichever way you look at it It was the the one about Downey, which youtube have taken down And I think it had around about 6,000 views or something like that. So not quite as high as that but still it's It's a lot. It's a lot more than this And um, yeah, I'm just just mentioning Sammy. I've just had a video taken down my second most popular one And I don't know why it has been taken down But the thing that's that's you know, obviously there about it is the fact that it is a popular video Means that you know, if it's had 6,000 views before Presumably it's helped a proportion of those So it's just a shame that it's not out there to to help some other people as well But this one here this troubleshooting the uh This little logitech remote. So this is now my second most popular video Which is this one about a troubleshooting and setup of these little presentation clicker remotes on the mac and this is one of those videos where you know, people often say Oh, it's the videos that you weren't expecting That perform well. Well, the reason why this video came about is because I made a video about these clickers Presentation remotes, whatever you want to call them And how you can use it to control ecamm live to skip forward through scenes and things like that And other ways that you can use it in conjunction with ecamm I made the video about it and then I had somebody comment saying, you know, they were really excited to get one of these They went and ordered one, but then it didn't work and they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work So I went through and made a whole video about basically troubleshooting These things because I know that there is some issues that people can have with the setup of them and things like that And that is now my second most popular video and it all came because of somebody asking a comment in my other video And I just sort of answered their comment So it is, you know, it's true that it's the ones that you least expect are the ones that that sort of rank highly And in fact, the fact that that downy one was so high Was something that also always surprised me as well considering all of the other content that I make in fact Looking down here, here's another one. So I know that stream deck is generally my most popular thing On my channel, even though I've got the majority of my videos are ecum live If we just look down this list number one Stream deck number two. Okay, it's this little presentation remote, which is a bit of an anomaly Then we've got stream deck But then this one number four is the the video that I did all about moon for arranging windows So that's just a little bit surprising that that one has come out so so high up the rankings as well But then it's basically stream deck stream deck stream deck stream deck And then this one which is the difference between obs and mac and sorry obs and ecum and which one's best for running things on the For for making videos on the mac. This was one of the first videos are made actually made a 17 So that was probably day Day three on youtube. I made that video and it's yeah now one of mine most popular So so yeah, that's just a quick update for me for today I have still got a load of videos to make and so I shall be getting on with cranking out those I will of course report back on anything that I hear back from From youtube regarding, you know, why that video got taken down. It's still a bit of a mystery But yes, I'm going to press on make some more videos and crack on with With cedar and I will catch you all a little bit later. It has indeed Sammy. Sorry. It has indeed been almost a year so 14th of May is the the my sort of I was gonna say my anniversary. It's also my deadline for making my 365 videos. So Yeah, that's that's that's the target that I'm aiming for but yeah, it's certainly a time time flies Righty ho that is all for me I'm going to check off now But I will leave a link to obviously some other great videos coming up next and you know what's happened now Actually, let me just come over here because for some reason now my look deck has stopped working But I'm sure this button will work. All right I'll see you all a little bit later. Have a beautiful day and check out these videos coming up next You
