Read This Before Uploading Your Next YouTube Video

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

There’s massive revenue/authority opportunity on YouTube right now, and I’m doubling down on it as a business owner, but there’s something I’ve discovered that you should know too if you’re thinking of starting a channel of your own.

And especially if you’re already uploading consistently.

First off, consistency is good! That’s definitely how you win in the long term.

But my YouTube coach advised me against posting too many videos.

I know, I know, recently that hasn’t been my problem. I need to post MORE! But Jimmy (my YouTube coach) has me rethinking my whole content schedule.

I asked him the other day whether he’d advise against uploading two videos in one day and he said…

Yeah, definitely don’t do that.

I mean, some channels can get away with it (news channels, perhaps), but education channels risk overloading their subscribers, not to mention the algorithm, which stops recommending older videos in favor of your newer videos.

So let’s say you have a video that you expect to do quite well. Jimmy himself has at least one video with more than 1M views, and more than a dozen with 100,000K views or more.

He told me that when he has a high degree of confidence that a video will overperform, he usually likes to leave 2-3 days after uploading to give the video a chance to “breathe” a bit and get picked up more by the algorithm before feeding it another one.

This makes total sense. And it also has me thinking about something else.

If I’m scrambling every day to upload a daily YouTube video (which obviously I’ve been struggling with), the QUALITY of each upload is likely to suffer too.

And on YouTube, QUALITY trumps QUANTITY over the long term.

Yes, I believe that quantity LEADS to quality (you have to get your reps in), but it makes zero sense for me to rush around like Marie Antoinette with her head cut off trying to upload an “okay” YouTube video each day, when instead I can take 2 days, produce a much BETTER YouTube video, and have it perform much better ANYWAY.

Seems like the obvious thing to do, and so that’s the advice I’m passing along today.

It’s not very often that I reduce my targets or my goals. My default is more ACTION, not smaller goals.

But in this case, it’s not a “smaller goals,” even though it’s a lower output.

It’s the smarter, more disciplined path to outsized YouTube success.

Okay, I know I’ve been doing so well with getting more sleep and I PROMISE YOU that I will be getting back in line tomorrow night. Tonight was just an anomaly, I swear haha.

Tomorrow is going to be ALL full of author campaign work, writing, scripting, etc. And I’ll be posting more on Instagram, X, Threads, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Same as usual. Will most likely publish my next YouTube video tomorrow too.

But hey, it’s 5:09AM here right now (yikes!) and I’m going to bed!

All the best,
