So recently I started a youtube channel talking about personal finance stuff. But It's kinda growing very slowly... So obviously I don't know what I don't know.

I'm trying to improve so I appreciate /k punya feedback. Is my delivery too lousy? Topic too lousy? What kind of topics would you like to see more of?

This is my most recent video

You read script, eyes looking elsewhere. You're not a natural speaker like Sunkist guy. He has emotions, expressions, the words he uses are different.

Language another issue. Your pronunciation is not good. Too many English words mixed in.
*
FF also read script i thought?

a) kulitfication problem
b) Financial Faiz has set benchmark..so others mehhhh..
c) nothing good new info..same old same old..
d) too much distortion contents
*
we are all malaysian. sommore not talking about politik stuff. I can't do anything about kulit lol.
What do you mean by distortion contents?

QUOTE(Aaron212 @ Apr 26 2023, 10:30 AM)
I feel your editing and speech are nice and catchy

However the content hard to relate for B40

We want to hear what we want to hear, not what we SHOULD be hearing

Like ur points on insurance, kwsp, all those not interesting enough

Can consider introducing stocks, crypto n stuff like that then can put ur referral links also

Unless u going this geenric path which sunkist FF doing very well on tiktok already
*
What would b40 people want to hear? Can share a bit? If I know then I can try to make some topics.

I can actually go quite in depth in a certain direction. But I'm not sure if that's what people want.

Is always this problem...

Want to use English must include the translated BM word la.

Straight put in English and definition how to understand if I don't even know the BM equivalent.

Feels like you're trying to hard to cater certain market but fail half way.

Some of these words I don't even know what to call in BM lol

why do you care about growth ? are you trying to monetise your videos? then you would be in for a very painful ride
*
The channel already monetize.

Right now I am just thinking of how I can deliver better videos. But obviously I don't know what I don't know. So I need outside people to tell me what they think.

If possible, I'm trying to find out if my videos are quality enough, and what other types of topic do people want to watch. I can go more economic, more finance, or more personal finance like FF.

But honestly not sure which one will be better.

Fuiyo all the best in your youtube career. Man I wish I have the balls to start 1, have all those travel videos yet to edit.. camera shy leh.
*
Lol just try first. It's actually very fun. It's a good hobby. I also started because I wanted to pick up video editing. But then of course one thing led to another, now become full channel lol.

QUOTE(Randomization @ Apr 26 2023, 10:50 AM)
Now already zaman AI still use this excuse?

Beside, all this heavy topics need to simplify to cater general audience.
*
I got try chatgpt translate. Macam salah some of the words. But can't blame because people don't usually use malay terms in finance also. Most still use English terms.

msia market very small, dun waste ur time

do international content n market for global audiences
*
Actually the reason I do in Malay language is to practice my BM. Otherwise really forget the language liao. Last time study so hard at least make use of it.

Also, the project started out as a hobby to teach me how to do video editing. The topics I talk about was basically in my area of expertise.

But one thing led to another and now the channel grown to a small size. So since already become like this, might as well put in some effort to do it better. Mana tau ada rezeki kan?

tough line to get into imo. maybe increase your other social media presence like on twitter or tiktok?

hmnn I guess I will try. If I'm going to be more serious might as well.

QUOTE(ycs @ Apr 26 2023, 11:09 AM)
how many finance topics you can do until start repeating
*
Can go quite far one. If I do current topics like world economy then forever can go.

I have a few economic topics, but I don't think malaysian viewers want to watch that because the views macam low.

Perhaps adding some b-rolls footage of yourself (eg. walking towards KWSP building, driving towards the bank, or interacting with a person etc..)  would make your videos more lively and interesting. Other than that, i think your content quite mantap and your speech is ok. All the best on your channel. Kipidap!

Ok let me try tukar2 scene. Thanks for the feedback.

QUOTE(cubiclecarbonate @ Apr 26 2023, 11:25 AM)
You should ask your audience. Just ask to drop their comments lah.

Selected replies will get get something in return.

Actually I got try ask before. But like nobody layan. So not sure is they segan or they don't want to hurt my feelings lol. Maybe I'll try again.

QUOTE(luckyMan99 @ Apr 26 2023, 11:58 AM)
only watched the first video.

from what I can see, u did not express your own opinion enough. you are like Chatgpt stating obvious facts.

For example, we all know that insurance is important, but as a fresh grad, why should I pay RM200-300 monthly instead of buying a new iPhone? You can't convince people if all you do is state some facts that we can get from an insurance agent. Give some controversial opinion like 'tiktok is for kids' or 'people who buy latest phone is insecure kid who need attention' , then you can generate comments and views will follow.

and you need clickbait title
*
ok I try. I scared do controversial opinion just for views... I'm generally not that type of person. But i acknowledge that is a legitimate strategy to get viewership. I just don't know if I want to be that type of controversial person though...

QUOTE(Sha91 @ Apr 26 2023, 12:06 PM)
From a nerdy point of view, your videos are okay. Because you use proper BM, full sentence with minor grammar and not some rempit BM.

I am a textbook person so I can finish watching your videos without being bored.

If your target is youngsters, you need to go down to their language (don't mistaken it as rempit language), give examples that suit their levels. Use conversational language, imagine you are talking to someone about financial (maybe try to record your voice when you are giving your advice to someone), then your video will be very engaging as if you are talking to me one to one.
*
Good feedback. I'll take note and try on future videos.

Did u edit the video on ur own? How long did it take?
*
Yea edit alone. Last time used to take 2 or 3 days for 1 video lol.
Nowadays I can do in 1 day if I rush. I'm trying to increase the quality of the videos, hence this thread. But seems like most people didn't comment much about my editing style so I guess it's ok?

QUOTE(marukopi @ Apr 26 2023, 12:13 PM)
Normally need to collab or give shoutout then only can gain
Otherwise ur just another yt channel

And finance is very wide, try to go to niche first like tax, creative accounting etc
*
Huhu i cannot do tax or accounting. That's not my core specialty. My core specialty is in finance and economics. Tbh these are topics I'm quite familiar with that's why I do. I can go more in depth but... not sure if that's what people want to see.

SOmeone commented just now that the b40 who watch all want to hear what they want. Not hear what needs to be heard.

120k view with 3.4k subscriber, earn how much monthly? or total earnings if u comfortable sharing.

for my comment, if u want channel to up views, keep sprinkling in those ''melabur'' videos. i see alot of ppl watch those in your channel
maybe write more on stocks to labur, crypto or forex.
*
So your suggestion is that i go towards the "how to trade" direction? Btw, i earning about 30usd a month. Right now my cpm is i think $2.50. This one no issue I can just share. Doesn't mean much to me.

QUOTE(LuckyBai @ Apr 26 2023, 02:40 PM)

Go tiktok

I will start open tiktok account soon tongue.gif

QUOTE(marukopi @ Apr 26 2023, 02:44 PM)
yeah, can do what u expert at. in more layman term. i think one of reason why sunset <racial reference removed> got traction is because they able to simplify thing instead of jargon or using chatgpt style of explaination.

and try to promote to other platform first, like tiktok and twitter.
*
Yea I also do that. I reduce a lot of the content to very simple words already. Like the usd vs brics topic I made. That one turned out quite well for my small channel. I was thinking of doing more of those also, but that would bring me towards the economic path.

QUOTE(MrBaba @ Apr 26 2023, 02:44 PM)
U know why ppl buy ? When value bigger then price then ppl buy . Yr content got province value or not ? Hence the situation yr in
*
Of course I believe my content got value. But whether other people think it got value or not is different case. That's why I need to get feedback. See whether I'm doing it right or not.
