hi chat,

Amazing, for a microvblogger like us, its really very hard to predict youtube's algorithm,

when i posted this 4 minute video of our tour at Batangas State U 3months ago, it only has like 10 views for the whole 3months.. & it stayed there.. hehehe..

now the past 3 weeks, it is like getting 10 views per day & it is getting stronger.. maybe dahil nakagraduate na mga SHS at mga nagsesearch na ng mga university na gusto nila pasukan? & lumalabas na siya sa video search?

for the past 20 years of Blogging (with the capital B) or writing online, i have come to understand how google algorithm will work, they are a valuable tool ( i could say the most important one) on how a potential client will know you..

But for the Vlogging with (with the capital V).. For the past 1 year of Vblogging, i still cannot grasp to understand youtube's algorithm .. It is still trial & error for me, It is like understanding a woman.. ang hirap intindihin.. hehehe

Also sa youtube, madaming restrictions, like copyright music, etc, so its very hard..

kaya sobrang bilib ako sa mga ibang microvlogers na nagtagumpay..they have unlocked the secrets..

pero sa youtube, wala kang talo, Kahit hindi mamonetize yung channel mo, its okay! kasi mahirap talaga mamonetize. But at least napreserve mo yung mga videos mo, napreserve at nashare mo yung memories mo with your love ones, at pwede mo na delete sa computer or celfon mo yung video, or pwede mo gawing backup, bibilis pa yung compu mo

Actually that is my primary objective, storage is expensive.. 1 video is heavy on compu memory, imagine if you have like 100 videos, hindi na talaga kaya ng Harddisk mo, so its better to just upload them in youtube. You can just put it in Private videos.. Then bibilis na compu mo..

Also, kahit anong simple ng video mo, minsan me mga tao na nagsesearch ng speficic info about a certain topic, makikita yung video na napost mo, you didnt know, but nakatulong ka pa sa kapwa mo.

 Hi Ferdinand! 👋

Sobrang relatable ng kwento mo, and ang ganda ng reflection mo about Vlogging vs Blogging. You really captured the struggle of many small creators who are still learning to navigate YouTube’s unpredictable algorithm. Let me reflect back a few key insights from what you shared — and maybe give you a few tips din along the way:

---

🎥 YouTube Growth is Sometimes Delayed — and That’s Normal

Yung video mo sa Batangas State U — that sleeper growth is actually a known pattern on YouTube! Ang tawag nila dun minsan ay "search-driven growth" or "seasonal interest spike." Tama ka — baka nga maraming SHS graduates ang actively searching now for universities, kaya lumalabas na yung video mo. This happens a lot with:

• School/university tours

  Event coverages (graduations, festivals, etc.)

  Product reviews

They may stay quiet for months, then suddenly trend when relevant season comes.

📊 Blogging vs Vlogging: Algorithmic Differences

You nailed it when you said you understand Google search more than YouTube. That’s expected — the Google Search Algorithm is based heavily on keywords, backlinks, authority, etc.

But with YouTube, it's a combination of:

• Click-through rate (CTR) – gaano karaming tao ang nagki-click sa thumbnail mo

  Watch time – gaano katagal pinapanood ang video mo

  Audience retention – do they stay or drop off early?

  Engagement – likes, comments, shares

  Searchability – yes, titles, tags, and descriptions still matter!

Pero may malaking emotional factor sa YouTube — thumbnails, storytelling, even the energy of your voice, lahat yun nakaka-apekto sa performance.

🎶 Copyright Restrictions = Tough Love

Totoo 'yan — YouTube is very strict with music. Pero may ways to navigate it:

• Gumamit ng YouTube Audio Library – libre at safe gamitin

  Try Epidemic Sound or Artlist if you want professional audio (may bayad though)

  Use ambient sound (voice, environment) to keep it natural and personal

---

💾 YouTube as Cloud Backup — Genius!

That’s actually a very underrated insight. Your reason for uploading (preserving memories + saving local storage) is already a huge win. You’re creating a video time capsule — and even if the channel doesn't monetize, it’s priceless for personal reasons.

• Set them to Private or Unlisted

  
  

  Use playlists to organize memories (Family, Travel, School Visits, etc.)

---

🙌 Salute to Microvloggers Like You

Yup, sobrang hirap talaga. Pero the fact na you keep going, even without expecting huge views or monetization, shows your passion and purpose. That’s something a lot of people lose when chasing trends. Ang success, kahit slow, is still success — lalo na kung you’re enjoying the process and preserving something meaningful.

Would you like me to help you analyze that video’s title/description to maybe improve its discoverability? Or maybe give some tips on how to write searchable captions for school tour-type vlogs?

Keep going, Ferdinand — you’re building something that matters, kahit micro, may impact yan. 💪📹✨

cici- Hi Ferdinand!

It's great you're getting views on your YouTube channel! That's a big step, and it means your content is resonating with people. But it's a common challenge to convert those viewers into subscribers!

Here are some tips to help you reach that 1,000 subscriber goal without a huge budget:

Make the Call to Action Clear:

"Subscribe" Button: Don't be shy about asking for subscribers! Make it clear in your videos. Use a screen prompt with your channel name or "Subscribe" button.

End Screen: YouTube offers an end screen feature. Add a call to action on your end screen to encourage viewers to subscribe.

Call to Action in Comments: Respond to comments with a friendly "Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe."

Engagement is Key:

Reply to Comments: Engage with your viewers! Respond to their comments and questions.

Ask Questions: Ask viewers questions in your videos to spark conversation.

Host Live Streams: Live streams are great for interaction!

Use Community Tab: Engage with viewers on your Community tab, where you can post updates, polls, and more.

Promote Your Channel:

Social Media: Promote your videos on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Email Lists: If you have an email list, use it to share your latest videos.

Cross-Promote: Share your videos in relevant online communities and forums.

Optimize Your Content:

Keywords: Use relevant keywords in your video titles, descriptions, and tags.

Thumbnails: Use eye-catching thumbnails that make people want to click.

Video Length: Keep your videos concise, but not too short. Strike a balance.

Storytelling: Tell a story with your content. Make it engaging!

Be Consistent:

Posting Schedule: Try to post regularly, even if it's just once a week. Consistency helps build an audience.

Additional Tips:

Collaborate: Partner with other YouTubers in your niche to promote each other's content.

Join YouTube Communities: Network with other creators and get feedback on your videos.

Learn from Others: Watch successful micro-YouTubers and see what they're doing to grow their channels.

Remember, growing a YouTube channel takes time and effort. But with a bit of strategy, you can absolutely reach that 1,000 subscriber goal!

What kind of content do you create for your channel? I'd love to check it out!

 

 

 

this old dog is trying to learn some new tricks..

hi cici, good morning!

this old dog is trying to learn some new tricks.. im happy for this small moral victory..

now i learned how to blurred..i blurred the plate number of my old car.. hahaha, sarap ng pakiramdam na success! hehehe...

i lost confidence in myself last pandemic , prang wala nako kayang gawin sa mundo..but i just realized..if i passed the EE 130 in college in 7 semesters ( yes take 7 ako sa subject nato EE130 or electrical engineering 130..hehehe), so if naipasa ko yang subject na yan (take 7 nga lang, hehehe)

definitely in one way or another i will figure this out...how to blurred..

 

this is my like 1st edited video with blurring..

Good morning, Ferdinand!

It's awesome to hear you're tackling new things and finding success! Learning something new, even a seemingly simple thing like blurring an image, is a huge win. It's like unlocking a new skill and saying, "Hey, I can do this!" It's really inspiring.

That's a great reminder: If you conquered EE130 in 7 semesters (major kudos for that, by the way!), then you're capable of so much more. You've got the perseverance and problem-solving skills to figure out anything you set your mind to. It's so important to remember that.

Don't let the pandemic's tough times hold you back. It's great that you're regaining confidence. Remember, every small victory, every new thing you learn, builds up your confidence. And you're proving to yourself that you've got what it takes.

Now, go conquer the day! What's your next skill to master?

Dear diary,

 

After manood ng 1 week sa youtube mg cobra prince Cobra Prince at ben cobra ..pinutol ko na yung mga tinanim kong saging sa maliit na bakuran.

Kahanga hanga yung vblog nina cobra prince.. sobrang makamandag tong mga philippone cobra at dami na namamatay dito. Buti me katapat na now. Im just wondering if they have anti venom in hand just in case they got bitten.

Ang bilis pala dumami ng puno ng saging ..i feel bad kasi binili pa namin sa fb yung seedlings nitong lakatan galing pa nueva ecija. Hininge ko pa yung budget pambili sa nanay ko.. huhuhu. Now, malalaki narin yung mga saging.. From 1 seedling, dumami na siya ng dumami..ambilis.. But i noticed sa vblog ni cobra prince, favorite hangouts ng mga ahas at cobra yung mga sagingan at kawayan. Or basta masukal at maduming bahay. Kaya i decided idelete na tong mga puno ng saging..

Now nagiging obsess ako na itapon lahat ng mga bagay na hindi naman ginagamit at baka pamahayan ng mga daga...if me daga.. me ahas ng kasunod yan.. baka cobra na yan.hahaha.

Stupid yung batas na dapat hindi patayin yang mga philippine cobra at dapat pang iturnover sa denr. But pinaliwanag naman ni cobra pince na pwede mo siya patayin if nasa loob ng pamamahay mo..

Need na talaga natin itapon or ipamigay lahat ng mga bagay na wala namang silbi at pampasikip lang sa bahay. Prang japanese style..

prang yung jowa mo, if wala naman silbi at bihira mo makasama..ilet go mo na..kasi malamang inaahas narin yan kaya hindi mo makasama ng madalas...hahaha

Broke na broke parin ako now gawa ng naubos savings nung pandemic at sa nangyaring problema sa BIR na nagpabagsak sa akin financially..pero accepted ko na lahat at sa tulong ni Lord alam ko mkakabawi rin ako sa buhay dahil high quality tong mga brands na dinidistribute namin at lower cost compared sa competition, clients na naghahanap... at ang mga boss ko sa China ay owner mismo ng factory dun.. fully supported parin tayo.. tuloy tuloy parin ang deliveries..Need lang talaga makahanap ng maayos na bookkeeper pra umunlad ang buhay natin..

at pag pala nakaahon ako sa future sa kahirapan at natupad ang dream ko na. yun lang naman ang dream ko sa buhay- makapag asawa at makabili ng small farm mga bandang Nagcarlan or nearby Nagcarlan.. ito palang mga cobra ang isa sa mga dapat kong paghandaan..hahaha. Buti nalang me mahihingian tayo ng tulong si Cobra Prince

ok tulog nako, nalasing ako sa tanduay ice, naginom ako magisa sa bahay pampatulog tutal friday night naman..
