based on public channel data

Publishing at roughly 29.8 videos/year since joining in Feb 11, 2016
Averaging about 36,396 views per video against a 84,700-subscriber base — a views-to-subscriber ratio of 43.0%
E-commerce / Tax Tips is a competitive US niche — upload consistency and repurposing across platforms usually move the needle most here

what the recent-upload data actually shows

Opportunity size: 24 of last ~25 — recent uploads that came in below the channel's own lifetime average
Recent performance: This is the clearest decline signal in the batch: recent Shopify tutorials are getting 600–5,000 views against a channel average of 36,396 — older videos are doing the heavy lifting on the lifetime numbers, not current ones.
Market demand: Shopify/ecommerce tutorial demand is evergreen and growing — new sellers search for this constantly. The niche isn't the problem here.
What's being missed: No Shorts at all in the recent sample. A tutorial channel with declining long-form views is a textbook case for clipping key steps into Shorts to rebuild discovery.

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
