Do YouTube channel tags really matter?

I just noticed that my channel tags were still all AI-related.

I started my channel with the idea of making content specific to AI-related side hustles. I’ve switched gears over the past couple of months to more general side hustle content, and quite often I’m focusing on YouTube as a side hustle.

Most of the side hustles that people talk about on YouTube are the same. It’s mostly print on demand, sell digital products, or use ChatGPT to write some nonsense.

It seems to me that YouTube as a side hustle is a lot more interesting. There’s a lot of variety in how you can monetize YouTube content, and there’s also a lot of misinformation for me to debunk.

How This YouTube Shorts Channel Grew to Millions of Views

This is probably the weirdest interview you will ever see, but it truly IS an interview. It just began in email form, and I used my weird style to turn into an AI-driven interview for this video.

Coming up with the LARRY-loves-Chris storyline was contingent upon Chris giving it the OK … I would never do that sort of thing without the subject’s consent.

But it turns out that I think Chris has a sense of humor that is similar to mine, and he seemed really happy with how this video came out!

This was a pretty fun video to make because I got to invent two new AI characters.

My latest faceless YouTube channel video is about using copyrighted content that you CAN monetize

My latest video has a bit of a split personality. I can’t decide if it’s about finding content for a faceless YouTube channel, or if it’s about how to use copyrighted content in ways that agree with YouTube’s “reused content” guidelines.

I suppose it’s both.

Why my video is about faceless YouTube channel content

I’ve been making videos about faceless YouTube channels lately. The strategy is to get several of them done and make a playlist out of them. Also, I hope they lift each other up in terms of views, since I can push a different “faceless” video after someone finishes watching another.

My video about tips for faceless YouTube channels is failing so hard!

Just yesterday I posted a video with five tips for creating a successful faceless YouTube channel. But how would I know anything about that? I’ve never made a faceless YouTube channel!

See, that’s the thing about YouTube. You don’t have to know anything. You just present whatever you’re presenting, and hopefully the viewer gets some value from it.

I based my tips on what I’ve learned as a blogger and print-on-demand seller. I’ve learned that being original always beats copying others, that loving your content is more important than how much you think you might make by going with some other niche, and that copying success is a good strategy but only to a certain extent. You have to differentiate yourself in some way.
