What should i change about my short-form video strategy to grow my audience?

Error codes can be intimidating for users but they're actually helpful diagnostic tools. Common ones I see: BSOD codes like 0x0000007E (system thread exception), 0x00000050 (page fault), and application errors like 0xc000007b.

My process: note the exact code, check Microsoft's error code database, look for recent system changes, run relevant diagnostics. For persistent error codes, deeper investigation might involve driver updates ($79), system file repairs ($99), or hardware testing ($129).

Some shops charge flat rates for error code resolution: $149 for software-related codes, $199+ for hardware-related ones. How do you approach common PC error codes, and what do you charge for resolution?

0xc000007b is particularly nasty - usually means 32-bit application trying to load 64-bit DLL or vice versa. Common with older games or business software. Fix often involves installing correct Visual C++ redistributables or directX components.

Error code documentation is crucial. We maintain an internal database with: code, common causes, step-by-step fixes, estimated repair time, and our standard pricing for that fix.

For example: 0x80070002 (file not found) - usually Windows Update related. Fix: run Windows Update troubleshooter, clear SoftwareDistribution folder. Our charge: $89 if done remotely, $109 in-shop. Time estimate: 30-60 minutes.

Common PC error codes should be categorized: Windows system errors, application errors, hardware errors, network errors. Each category has different troubleshooting approaches and pricing.

BSOD codes have gotten more descriptive in Windows 10/11. The error message often includes the failing driver or component. For example, nvlddmkm.sys" points to Nvidia graphics driver.

Our error code resolution service: basic (common codes with known fixes) $99, advanced (rare codes requiring research) $149, persistent (codes that keep returning after "fix") $199.

We also offer error code prevention packages: driver update service $129 (update all critical drivers), system stability optimization $169 (tune settings to prevent common errors), maintenance plan $29/month (includes monthly driver checks and system scans).

Sometimes fixing common PC error codes is about prevention rather than reaction - keeping systems updated and properly configured avoids many issues.

I’ve been trying to build a consistent audience by posting short-form video content, but my growth has completely stalled. I’m not sure if I should just keep grinding with the same format or if I need to fundamentally change my approach to content creation.

I stuck with the same format for six weeks and the growth stayed flat. Views were basically the same, and I started questioning if I was wasting my time.

I experimented with the first frame: two different hooks in a row, and I tweaked the thumbnail for three videos. One tiny bump, but nothing repeatable.

Maybe the problem isn’t the format at all. The audience I want seems to be smaller on the platform, or maybe the algorithm shifted in a way I don’t understand.

I did a straight batch of daily posts for a week, then burned out and stopped posting for a few days, which probably didn’t help.

Part of me wonders if I should try something totally different, like longer pieces or live streams, but I’m not sure that’s the answer.

I read some comments and realized a few people care about a topic I brushed past; that gave me a hint to slow down and listen, but I haven’t acted on it yet.

If I had to pick something to try next, I’d test a rotating topic wheel and looser editing, but I’m not confident it’ll move the needle.
