Hey
Creators This Is tom This Week, We are Experimenting with the new Format Where We have a Conversation?
With A real YouTube Creator not a YouTube Employee and
We'll
Spend Some Time With Violating to Talk About her Journey as A
Creator and Then
Maybe Violin Can Can Share Some of the Frustrations that You've Had With YouTube and I'll try and Give a little
Context Or Perspectives and
Hopefully People will find it Useful so
Maybe We Could start With You have A?
Food Channel Right Thanks so how, did you why
Did you do that how did you Decide To do it so i started this Butcher two years ago
Actually
I
Got interested in The American Food Channel Which are very Famous with A lot of a system Which
Was we were several of These Videos i mean Me and my family and we we found it great?
Well Feeling, well is it is a nice Edited?
And then we Compared to the french Food Channel that exists now?
Not, less but Still and Most of them were
Not so good i mean
Picture Were Blurred
Somewhat not Good not so
Good Pretty Good I guess Yeah and so I decided to start something Myself I started slowly I would Say Because
Filming and Eating Is very Time Consuming
And now after Three Years I have at least 50 Videos I have
1000 subscribers as A
Former Financial Reporter I'm very Familiar With A child and Statistics and so on and so the Reason why
I love you too because you have Access to so many Analytics Data
That's so fun to go Through them yes With Their there's A?
Probably More Charts and Data Than Most People know, what to do with so in your case
That's a Playground for you
you know you said you have a thousand subscribers Congratulations like I know that's not Easy Yeah I
Brought This mess on under Them Frosty hey, it's not Easy Yeah
I'm Curious
You Know I think it was Maybe casey, nice that at
One Point Said it's Harder to get like a Hundred subscribers and A thousand it's hard to get to a thousands at ten Thousand
Did you Notice that - was it hard to kind, of get it going yeah I think so because I see the
Numbers Accelerating of Maya on These analytics
Maybe I was at six?
600 in November and oh One Thousand Today it's Growing Quite
Yeah first Time I think so it was it Because of something you did was it it Just took, some Time, or how did that
I realized some Videos a become Famous Maybe sometime After or TV show, oh
Yeah There was some TV?
TV Show or TV Joker
The Commentaries Some People saw Something About Sort of Rather than They want to know more About so the ones Are Looking Into you
Can find my Channel
How did You did you
do some Marketing of the Channel Outside of YouTube like social Media other social Media Area I did A
Bit on Facebook that I wrote in you on Facebook and I try to Focus on a youtube because I?
Would Say my my goal is to grow on Youtube but if I?
I
Spend My Effort Between Too much social Media I'm not sure it. We want Because it social Media Is very Time Consuming
- yeah i'm you - I have Already a lotta Work to do so I
Actually Focus Like How Many Hours a week are you, oh
I
Think it's a lot to Make I mean Maybe for two minutes Video yeah I would Say
Underworld What I mean yeah one day but I referred it to the Pseudo week, We have not?
We have Never Heard Any Answers?
So I'm a little Nervous about what you're Going to say the World will see alice goes but
Maybe Can You share like A few Things that you're Either
Confused by or Curious About or Frustrated about and
Then Then I Can, Maybe Try and Provide a little Context and Color About how, Maybe We think About it and and
Hopefully That will Be Useful to People on There yeah I would Say my biggest Disappointment absolute Appears Everywhere the subtitles
Once Out of Curiosity I tried the Automatic Subtitles on my Video and they, were Already
Terrible Because and I was Speaking of Course of her Food Recipes, we are Giving the Ingredients and so Speaking of Stuff over?
and under Subtitle We could Read some Level Positions some singers
But Without Any Link
About With the Video and for some Point Once I was Speaking I was Saying as?
Cinnamon and
Maybe Cinnamon in Water I don't remember and Molina and on the subsequent We thought it was written?
Add some Mescaline, oh
so it Is
Yeah yeah and so to be Clear
Your Videos Are all Shot in French and so you, were using the Automatic Captioning
From French Spoken Word to them french Subtitles and
sounds Like it wasn't even Close
No no, yeah sometimes YouTube is no Keep Talking yeah Maybe one Sentence I will Talk
20 yeah, yeah I think I think with the Automatic
Transcription
With English it's actually like Sometimes I've Surprised how good it is like Really Really it
Improved Dramatically I think in The Last Couple of Years and I think that
Maybe the French Is sort of Where english, was A couple Years ago?
But the good News is like I think
We're Making big Improvements across all languages but
To be Honest the English is Currently the Probably the highest Quality that, We have right Now and Hopefully?
We can sort of do the Same thing with French that we've done It in english so what did you, do?
About that to you so i would write the subject of Revenge and Then?
We can on Youtube you can use the?
Automatic Translation Right so from What I'Ve Written in French I Can Translate
Automatically in English Things like it's Quite, fine Us to correct some Stuff in Writing
Yeah and Seduced so now do you put French
Transcriptions for all all your Videos
During your Videos I try to do that Which I have some
Old One yeah all right Already yeah and what why, do you Provide
Subtitles so
Some Fightin of my someo I like to i like to Watch your Videos While Commuting Into Trial
Well I am Knowing yeah?
So i'd like to use the is to after Subtitle so does the Reason why I started to Work
On that Yeah and I noticed too many, I'm in my
The People Watching my Video
The Senior People
And i guess Maybe they, don't feel so much Maybe
I don't think so clearly so i should try
To do That for and Even For this People yeah yeah it's very Common for them to yeah yeah
Everything it's a good idea yeah I guess the other Benefit. Now that for the new Videos that Have your really, accurate french Subtitles and
Now you you Can have People who, don't speak French
Benefit From your Videos Because it's Provided you you translate it to english as, well and Or and then
Then Probably The Automatic Translations From Good French Subtitles Too like
Spanish Or Others will, be will be actually usable, oh yeah yeah it sounds like
We're We missed was going from spoken word to french was so talking that then
Translating That Further Would not Make much sense, okay so that's
That's A Really great perspective Because I maybe has A
some Ways As an American Company
You know it's Easy To kind of Focus on the english stuff but I can Raise a great Point yeah
Yeah but but the good News is we are, we are Making A lot of improvement Across the World for all languages
Hopefully You'll See Those improvements in The Meantime Maybe the manual
Transcription will do it will give me Another one What Else has Been Kind of difficult, oh?
Nothing Running from Some Details for example when you're on the
Creator to do You go to your Channel personal Information About your Channel and you're Deciding
Status of each other and You Arrive on that Page and You see some red Tiles Like red light in Say
Oh am I doing something Wrong and then your eyes a smile and They Say
okay
Everything is all right With
Copyright With Stones and so on yeah but that's the bigot it's always A short Thing is when i say, oh?
Yeah it's
Just Time It'll be Producing
Yeah it's Red but it's Smiling yeah yeah that's the Interesting yes Some Green areas Ago but yeah
Yeah That's right it's from green, eye or a baby They Try, to put something green yeah
Compensate You Straight I don't yeah yeah and I don't know how it Is if you're Really Wrong Whether the Crew if you're Wrong yeah?
I'm okay across the Area I'm Compatible and Combine Whether
You're Not The first Person to Share That Feedback and
We Definitely hear it so like the Theme I think that that we've Heard often Is?
you know all this Kind of Intellectual Property
Notifications Or like Which Features are Activated or not
A lot of People Feel like they Just don't have A clear Understanding of like
What's going on and?
Am I in Trouble
Or something Bad Happening and
so one of the things that
We're Definitely Spending a lot of Time on is challenging Ourselves to say you know if you're Creator and you
Don't Work at Youtube you'll Spend all day Thinking About all These Different Things
You might have like a Minute to Scan this Page Because like you're Saying
You're Spending Hours Shooting and Editing, We really want to Make it so that
you know at a glance you can get the Information you need and and Know very Quickly like, okay is this like
Something I
Good to know But doesn't Require my immediate Attention or is this something like oh I need to do Something very Soon or something
you know Something Requires an Urgent sort of Action from you so I
Hear you that that's not Where we are Today?
We're Actually
Actively Working on
Improved Design To Kind of Address that so Hopefully in the future you will be
In A place Where you Can, Instantly know what's going on and Know what you need to do but what
We're not there yet for sure
but what's the what's the Third Thing that's Been
Frustrating Or Think you're Curious About or you, wish you knew More about yeah, Maybe I would like to have some more Spanish Math
Where I am Compared to all the Channel I mean Into the same range given the
Lifetime of the Channel Or Maybe Today Maybe the Country
For Example I will like to
Audience Retention
And you Have This relative Audience Retention yeah it's good to know, oh my at the Beginning my Video Is networking
It's Mocking me Better user
Spawning With
I like to benchmark on ig yeah this is supposed to Work on it but yeah even You know
If I'm I got this one Thousandth of Quite subscribers and I wanna Make it is Really good how
Many About me yeah yeah yeah what
So this Totally agree I think the the Theme I've Heard from Others?
Around This is like for example With YouTube Analytics like all These Charts
Generally if I see green Things like that means is good
But There Are some Reports Where it'll Say, oh you're
your Audience Retention IS 74% and then the Creator May not know like
Should it be 90 is or IS 74 like
Amazing
It is pretty good yeah?
you know I
Think you and I Guess I'm a ridah yeah yeah but but but I think, We could do A Lot Better Job Helping you know
Sort of How
How Anything Is doing relative to
Similar Channels
Or even for Video relative to your other Videos like
We don't Make it as Monkey as we've Had to Compare to be like
Well you know this Video that you just Uploaded got you know A few Hundred views in The first you know day on
Average your other Videos you know only got they, don't have that in Their first day so this one Is doing really
Well Or that Kind of Thing so?
Good News is Where We perceive or heard that Many Times and we've done A lot of Work
Behind The Scenes To enable that so now the next step is to
Include That More in The user Interface so that you can set it Up and
You know what Thing I'd be Curious About Is and other Folks Hopefully They'll Still Comment Below and Give Us their Feedback
Is what's more Interesting to you the?
Benchmarking Against your other Videos Within your Channel
Or is it more Interesting the Benchmarks against other Channel Performance and Said the Benchmark against other
Channel yes I
Say I would Say I Can Benchmark my Video to each other With the analytics you Can't Compare Them and
I know the Data on my Previous Videos Yeah i can I am
Very very Quickly Noticed Or this one is working
Well Compared to the other
But I have no Data about of Course and i'm the one With a double to my my
Competitors I would Let Me but yeah on the World I'd like to have a benchmark against the other Channels yeah Nice that was?
Something Run your Compared With to what we Offer in Energy yeah?
Now how Would you how Would you pick who to benchmark against
Yeah i I don't know that what you Say, Maybe a tutti how are Walking the
Cook Compared With total
Challenge With The Same Lifetime I mean Literally Should love Two years ago haha. I don't know yeah
Travel Not Already the Areas of Food China now what they are doing, oh?
yeah, Maybe from the Country too yeah how how am I compared to the french Alan yeah Would
You Ever be Curious About
Channels That Are like Considered the most
Successful in Your Category or Would you Rather?
Focus on the Ones That are most similar to you yeah
Maybe do Most you know I can be the most consistent yeah yeah yeah, Maybe Someday
That'll Be the Same you'll be Comparing it the similar Ones will be the Best Thing five
