🐝 Milestone Reached: 300k YouTube Views & Affiliate Marketing Wins

The opportunities in growing YouTube channels, affiliate marketing, and sharing knowledge on LinkedIn and Threads are growing every day. I’m looking forward to an exciting 2025 as I continue refining my strategies and sharing everything I learn along the way.

What makes you engage more in one over the other?

🐝 The Importance of Tracking Performance

Even with a busy month, I’ve been consistent in publishing across YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Threads. The result? Engagement is up, and I’ve seen a noticeable increase in affiliate commissions and email subscribers.

Fortunately, I had a post that went viral.

Unfortunately, the post was unrelated to marketing and what I typically promote.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• YouTube: Continued growth thanks to automation. Still very slow subscriber growth, though.

• Facebook & LinkedIn: Engagement has steadily increased and my profile is getting noticed by more people, hence my email subscribers have been gradually increasing.

• Affiliate Marketing: In the last 30 days, I earned $111 in recurring revenue from affiliate commissions!

If you’re looking to start earning commissions like I have, I recommend you create a free account here: Syllaby Free Affiliate Account, and sign up for a 7-day free trial here: Syllaby 7-Day Free Trial (use DECEMBER30 to get 30% off your subscription).

The key here is that tracking performance gives you a clear picture of what’s working. By consistently showing up, engaging with my community, and refining my content, I’ve realised this revenue and built a sustainable system.

🐝 5 Thumbnail Tips That Will Boost Your Click-Through Rates

Thumbnails can make or break your YouTube click-through rate. Here are 5 simple but highly effective tips for improving your thumbnails:

• Create a curiosity gap: Spark intrigue without giving everything away.

• Limit to 3 elements: Keep it simple with no more than three key components.

• Use 3 colours: Stick to a cohesive colour palette to make your thumbnail stand out.

• Create contrast: Ensure that your text and images stand out clearly from the background.

• Limit to 4 words: Short and sweet wins the day—keep your text minimal.

For more help, I highly recommend using CustomGPT to improve your thumbnail success. Check out the CustomGPT called Thumbnail Grader to assess your thumbnails and make adjustments as needed.

That’s it for this week! Keep taking action, track your performance, and refine your content strategies. Remember, consistency leads to long-term rewards.

Cheers,
