What the numbers show

02
based on public channel data
  • Publishing at roughly 530.3 videos/year since joining in Jul 18, 2022
  • Averaging about 7,090 views per video against a 141,000-subscriber base — a views-to-subscriber ratio of 5.0%
  • Personal Finance is a competitive US niche — upload consistency and repurposing across platforms usually move the needle most here

Opportunity & fit

03
what the recent-upload data actually shows
  • Opportunity size: 2,188 — videos published, with a near-daily upload cadence
  • Recent performance: Long-form is holding steady (1,500–5,200 views), but the Shorts being posted alongside it are badly underperforming (10–773 views) — the Shorts strategy exists but isn't working yet.
  • Market demand: Etsy seller education has steady, recurring demand — sellers cycle through this content as platform algorithms and policies change.
  • What's being missed: The gap isn't content volume (already very high) — it's Shorts packaging. Views 10–773 on Shorts next to 1,500–5,200 on long-form suggests hooks/titles need work, not more output.

Clipping compounds reach — creators like Raj Shamani, MrBeast, and IShowSpeed run their clips across several accounts and platforms to stay familiar to a much wider audience.

How we'd approach it

04
what SM Growth Agency would do
  • Content research & strategy — start with your goal, then map the niche: multiple creators across the country, thousands of comments read across their videos to see what audiences actually want (and don't), upload patterns, market patterns, which hooks are working right now, and who's the fastest-growing creator in the niche and why
  • Content repurposing — cut long-form into short-form for Shorts/Reels/TikTok
  • Content packaging — titles and thumbnails built around what this audience actually clicks
  • Distribution — push repurposed content across additional platforms beyond YouTube
  • Clippings — pull the strongest moments from long-form uploads into standalone clips
