Thanks so much for this. You helped me a lot on which content pillar I should have a closer look at. Also how to think about an educational channel versus an entertainment one. I have videos that I feel are very high quality being a "dud" after a few days and you gave me some extra fuel to keep going, even though I'm already full fledged. Thanks TF 🙏

This was so, so, so good. I know of Thomas Frank and some of what he's done but haven't really followed his story that closely. What a great interview with a ton of master-class-like insight. I always have more respect for a creator who's willing to be upfront about misses than just the wins. Well done. Great format too. Thanks for sharing it!

Thomas Frank's pivot is a masterclass in niche specialization. For entrepreneurs, focusing on a specific tool or platform can create a deep connection with a targeted audience, resulting in higher engagement and loyalty than broader content strategies. Remember, depth beats breadth when it comes to building expertise and trust.

It's the same thing with my channel. I may not get a lot of views compared to my subscriber account, but what I make on the back end from coaching from selling courses and that type of stuff makes me earn much more than KZitemrs with millions of subscribers. But from the outside end you wouldn't be able to tell

I have just subscribed to your channel, and even taken the bold step of turning on all notifications, because it seems as if you are genuinely interested in helping people learn to provide actual value (both to viewers and in their own KZitem "career") rather than just chasing THE ALGORITHM. I'm also a little jealous that this other guy "stole my idea" of simply making good quality tutorials and letting the chips fall where they may. Fortunately, there is LOTS of room in "the market" because most tutorial channels are so terrible. Besides, I just want to do it as a retirement hobby anyway. But, even doing it as a hobby requires a bit more of a commitment than i am ready for... yet, if one wants to do it well. I'll get there. In the mean time, I'll try to get some inspiration from you and your guests.

Thank you for this video. I always enjoy your style of interview with your guests. Thomas is amazing with his Notion videos. At I thought he was part of the development team making boring corporate presentations, but I realized that I was wrong. His work ethic and professionalism makes his videos much more enjoyable. Like many other people are saying He is the reason that I got hooked on Notion and now I am a paying user 😅

26:41 - I just took a screenshot of this. I like how you go in and add graphics, after the fact, to clarify important points in the interview. I would like to learn more about creating "popcorn content" that isn't trivial, redundant, or just wasted people's time. I'm so sick of seeing "5 Tips" videos that just repeat what everyone else is repeating, but with even less actual info.

Hey, I really enjoyed this interview. Some great insight and can relate to the dilemma of creating content around using software or a process that I think 'needs' to exist as part of a library of content on my given niche, content that helps users with certain tools/processes though it's not necessarily content that I think will get a tonne of views. Hmm...

Just a lol for me because I've been stressing about whether I can legally use Notion as my primary tool to convey tutorial content in my niche and there's literally channels that exclusively show Notion to teach Notion (never searched for notion tutorials so first I've heard of it) so guess I've been worrying over nothing 😂

As to "Platform Risk": The first program that I plan to make tutorials for is a complete underdog in the Digital Asset Management market. But, i think it is really good (despite it's many little bugs), and I hope to bring more notoriety to this program because i think it could help so many people..... IF they had someone who could explain the complexity and eccentricities in a way that helps them get the value out of that tool. That might then bring more sales, which might help the sole developer afford to hire some help. Then i get a better tool. So it's a win for everyone.

this video just reinforces my confusion as to why there isn't a dedicated channel for "personal knowledge base" maybe the view count is too low? it seems like it would pair really well with notion or simply be an alternative title. it's not something I plan on working on regularly or entirely because it's adjacent. it feels like a massive hole because there are only like 100 videos but some with over 100k.
@ThomasFrankExplains

I think there are several channels around this topic; they're just not explicitly using that term. Tiago Forte is probably the top one; his whole thing is on building a "second brain" which is pretty much just a synonym for personal knowledge base. Then there are people like Nick Milo who go deep into Obsidian/Logseq. There are quite a few folks building channels in the PKM space!

As to "Permanence": I am looking into ways to "take down" an old video without actually taking it down. Not because I care about losing the view count. But, because i don't want to break links that someone might have saved. I would like to find a way to edit down an already published video so that all the viewer sees is an announcement to look in the description for a link to the updated version of that video. That way, my collection of videos IS like a textbook, but a textbook that can be updated.
@ThomasFrankExplains
6 ай бұрын
You can always unlist it! Links won't break, but new people won't discover it. One thing I tried in my Notion API video - early in the video, I tell people to check the pinned comment for any important updates. While I can't keep the video up to date, I can at least pre-emptively point people to an up-to-date companion resource (which might link to a new video someday).
