Currently making videos on DIY filming gear: cheap functional softbox and key light, other lights, building a set, creating a youtube-studio on the cheap, that kind of stuff. Also doing videos about testing other youtubers advice on how to film things, lighting setups and other tricks and tips are also in the works, putting their theories to the test: can *anyone* can get into making videos for themselves and succeed?
Probably branching into more general filmmaking over time as I use the gear I've built to film tutorials and how-to's for my Roller Skate shop while documenting the whole process on this channel, hopefully helping other small business owners see how they can easily and cheaply leverage the power of video for marketing and running their own business.

I'm doing YouTube WRONG, but I'm halfway to monetization in just 8 months - How is that possible?
Revealing everything on how I grew my channel from 0 to almost 500 subs (and close to 2000 watchtime hours) doing EVERYTHING wrong according to the "UA-cam growth experts" as a 50 year old creator using only my phone and some DIY lighting gear (and a proper mic, can't DIY *everything*...).
As a 50 year old creator starting regular-ish uploads late 2023 I've grown my channel through 20 videos and now I'm halfway to monetization with almost 500 subs and close to 2000 watch time hours in less than 8 months. Not by following the advice of UA-cam Growth Messiahs, but instead focusing on providing something special.
It's all revealed in this "authentic" video with close to no editing, which should CERTAINLY hit all the important trending checkmarks on youtube ... (sarcasm ahoy ...)

Cool stuff bud.
Hey Andre, I just watched the whole video and loved it! But as a fellow videographer, I have to say - the sound caught my attention right from 10 seconds in. The audio is fantastic, but I couldn’t spot the microphone anywhere! 😄 It bugged me so much that I actually paused a few times and leaned in, trying to find it, but no luck. So now I’m curious, where did you hide the mic? Or are you using your iPhone mic?
Hi there and thanks for those kind words :) The audio is recorded on a Røde VideoMic Go II, placed on top of the phone using the cardboard cage I built in a previous video, and distance from me to camera/mic is around 3-4 feet, and using the Blackmagic Camera app to record with volume set at 100% and I think 6+ gain on the receiver. Then using a little eq and compressor on the channel and a limiter on the main channel and gain’ing with the compressor to get close to -14 lufs in davinci resolve on average :)
@@savagelovefilms It should also be said that the *whole* room is sort of full of cardboard, skateboard pads and other stuff absorbing a lot of frequencies and reverb, which helps with not capturing that dredded room sound :)
614 checking in ^>^
We were listening to the advice at first, but have finally decided to do it the way we started. The way we want to. We’re growing. Slowly, but growing nonetheless. Good luck to you and your channel.
Thanks for sharing. This video just showed on my feed so UA-cam must think you’re doing something right. You said value is what’s important but I also think you’re being genuine in your videos is a factor too. You’re just sharing and not pushing anything.
sigh just tried on the new m4 mac mini with a iphone 15 pro max with a apple thunderbolt 4 cable, still no luck. I dont think apple is ever going to address the issue.
Hey! awesome stuff, does it still come with a davinci resolve studio lisence?
Hi - your review of the DJI Mic2 was useful and interesting. For new users the lack of a record level control is confusing, especially when the recorded track is so low needing a big boost. At least there's plenty of headroom! I found the audio quality a bit disappointing compared to conventional personal mics (such as Sony or Sennheiser) but with careful placement it is acceptable. I suppose if Sony made drones one could not expect them to be brand leaders It's certainly good value if one accepts the lack of upper frequencies when clipped to a jacket. Really good videos - thanks.
i can relate all what it says in this video :(
I'm new and growing slowly as well. You can be to 2,000 watch hours but if it's been 9 months that's only 3 months to get the other 2,000 hours which isn't really 1/2 way. (You can do it!) The watch hours is what I'm working on next! I need 1900 and have just under 6 months to get there, because I want to use the hours from my first months. I made several mistakes!!!
Nice, excellent piece of knowledge for content creators👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
3:25 hotdog banner confirmed 👍 😂
I say this with no disrespect at all, but I'm not sure I'm grasping the "unexpected victory" element of the premise of your video. The average time a creator takes to get monetized (1000 subs/4k watch hours) is anywhere from 15.5 months to 1.5 years, depending on the source. So you being ALMOST halfway there in 9 months, by that measure, puts you behind that average timeline. So how did you get not quite halfway to monetization in longer time than average by doing the wrong things? Well... precisely by doing the wrong things... Whats the mystery again? 😂
@@livinginoklahomacityofficial Aha :) Thing is, you are forgetting the important parts of the puzzle: the very random posting schedule: sometimes weeks or months between videos, the topics being all over the place, the production value and gear being low and «cheap» (phone), neglecting the description field, not doing any keyword-stuffing or hashtags of any sort of regularity, and a bunch of other stuff. Despite all of that I’m getting results similar to or even better than people doing all the «right» stuff on a regular basis, who have been pushing on for, in some cases, years. So if this trajectory continues and I do manage to monetize in, let’s say 18 months, it will have happened with way less focus on all the «right» things that *many* spend *lots* of time on, when they instead could have focused more on value and the essence of their content rather than a lot of stuff guru’s claim is important, and maybe stressed themselves out a lot less :) And add to that the unexpected victory of this specific video so far bringing in 170+ watch time hours and about 110 new subs, and it took 2 hours to shoot and edit …
@AndreSjoberg respectfully, I think you're actually missing the important part of what I'm saying. The AVERAGE time it takes a creator on YT to become monetized is 15 - 18 months. The average includes people who do things the right way AND the wrong way. So nothing about your results are unique or "unusual." To your point, if doing everything right, you'd likely be well ahead of the average curve. But considering you didn't, you're behind the average curve (and perhaps may end up IN the average curve like many others who did some wrong things). I appreciate the message (I think) you're trying to deliver - that creators shouldn't put too much stock in what YT educators/advisors are saying to do, and not stress out too much. I partially agree with this sentiment (so many people giving bad advice tbh), but at the same time I think you may unintentionally be helping confirm some creators opinion they can do things entirely their way and still find success, which I believe would lead to creators wasting a ton of time only to ultimately give up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your channel has gotten about half your subs from your top 3 videos, 2 of which are about what happened to be a trending topic at the time discussing the DJI mics - so unknowingly, the thing that actually made the biggest impact in subscribers and views came from doing precisely the right thing. Without looking at your analytics, I'd guess those 3 videos are likely responsible for around 250 of your subs and likely similar to watch hours. This video is taking off (congrats btw) because lots of creators would like some confirmation to their bias that they can simply do as they wish creatively and ignore these educators - and your video gives them (potentially) false hope that they can succeed too, regardless of strategy.
@livinginoklahomacityofficial You are forgetting about my final point in the video, the value part, which is the whole point of the argument I’m making: Despite not spending hours and hours on production, gear, descriptions, shooting and editing thumbnails, +++ those videos, including the ones on trending topics, provided value above anything else. Especially the dji mic 2 video, the first one highlighting shortcomings in the product, proved value above and beyond what most others put out there, and that’s why it was successful (based on the comments people left). If I had made a crappy «the dji mic 2 is great»-video with no added value compared to other videos out there at the time my guess is it wouldn’t have done great, I can of course not prove that, but in general the «it’s great» videos I’ve seen from smaller channels my size does not have great numbers. And of course the title and statement in the thumb is a bit hyperbole, but in essence it’s true - you can do youtube mostly wrong and still succeed, if you at least offer value slightly above the average through the videos you make. There are tons of videos out there trying to «ride the wave» of whatever is currently trending, like the recent «above 40» and «above 50» trend, not getting the big numbers even though their production in many cases are «better» than mine, doing all the right things except for adding value to the conversation, which is why that last bit is the important point in my video :)
Found you on the suggested videos to watch. So you must be doing "sumthang" right! Congrats on your over 500 subs!
Kjøøør bara🎉
have another sub
This is probably the most useful video I have seen this month, and I've been watching a lot of tutorials on all sorts of things. Stop making excuses, use your brain, janky is fine, practice (do the thing!), and don't take yourself too serious. Oh, and cardboard can do pretty much anything. :-) I mean, that's not even confined to starting a channel! Any project, any stage! Now, 'scuse me I gotta go raid the back porch pile for some cardboard.
That was interesting...not even sure how your video came up..lol Interesting hearing people's stories of what happened for them on UA-cam. I had 2 kids videos (cause I run kids channel) that did well and helped me get to nearly 3000 watch hours and then cause I didn't get loads of views after that, 12 months past and then I lost nearly all my watch time hours, back down to like 600 watch hours and countless hours of editing. So I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth it. Now I more do it for the fun of it, cause I love video editing not sure if I'll ever get my channel monetized. But hope everything keeps on the up and up for you.
yea mate, ive used the small mirror,
Wow! You’re doing awesome! Catching the algorithm and people’s attention. Way to go 🎉 Are you Norwegian?
Thank you Mr. UA-cam Growth Guru! About time to start a "... If you're above 50" series (those 40 videoes are soooo yesterday) :-)
I am doing everything in youtube wrong as well 🤣🤣
I’m still listening. I’m growing like you to. I have no idea what I’m doing right or not but I’m almost four months in, I’m my way to 500. I’m far from 4000 watch hours but I fall short in delivery and thumbnail....sigh. Whatever keeps my little faith based channel alive, I’m grateful and thankful. Wishing you all the very best sir
Thank goodness that I found you! Thank you so much for your guidance ❤
I think it’s a great microphone, I got the same microphone that you did. It sounds better after the software update, and is very versatile and enables you to record good audio quickly. In the past I have used the Rode smartlav for videos with phones, but this mic is very nice. I was going to get a shotgun mic but this is more versatile and discreet. And can be expanded and used with a lav mic etc or two mics if you need.
This was a great video and a lot of fun!
I love the way you address this issue, as there are so many channels that try to find out the secret for UA-cam. In my experience (I have other channels) one video can blow up a channel if it is popular. I have seen this happen to lots of channels. What I can say is if you have a number of videos that manage to get a good about of views 10k+ then you will see channel growth. And the thing is that you never know when a video will be popular. My son used to do a channel that I managed for him and most of his videos were about Crazy Aaron’s thinking putty and even though all the videos were about the thinking putty they all got different amounts of views ranging from 27k to a few hundred. I used keywords and optimised the videos as much as I could, but it did not seem to make much difference. So for me there are two main things, the first being to make videos about a topic or item that people are interested in. I also think thumbnails are important as they are the thing that draws people to your video in the first place. For anyone reading this just remember that it only takes one successful video to change the direction of your channel.
Bah! 1 year. Just hit 250 today. All I do is break rules!
OK, consistent value, granted. But I'm saying only one thing - personality. That's your best and biggest asset. I could watch any topic you choose to talk about, because of that 🙂
I came across this video and stopped to listen because, based on your appearance, I believed you were going to be authentic and provide value. I wasn't disappointed. You may have been lucky with a couple of videos, but overall, you are just so authentic that you deserve attention. I watched all the way to the end, by the way.
Wow! So much better a beast. Please make a "What's in my camera bag?" and "Why I switched to boiled water". Can't wait! Kkeep up the good work.
Been in this space for 13 years plus , when I started out it was just men in sheds filming , we just made videos for the fun of it, accidentally I finally got monetised, and lost it it lol , I couldn’t keep the 4000 hours up , my channel is slowly dying I’m going to give it another go , ultimately some people do it for fun , some for money
Great video… I just got monitized in September…. I’m still trying to grow my channel…. I agree… you need to have good content and provide value for the person watching…. Sometimes it’s good to be lucky… keep making content… I have liked, commented and subscribed! Rock on from Winnipeg Canada!
I made a video called “Bad Video King 👑 Goes To The Beach” to show the Faux Pas in a beautiful environment 🤣🏝
Great video 🎉 Great job on your progress 🎊 Half way there! 🙌🤩
I started my first channel just over 2 yrs ago and a second channel almost 1 yr ago (I don't know what I was thinking, and I don't think I would do that again 😂). The first has over 4,000 subs, and the second is just under 1,000 subs. I do most things wrong according to UA-cam wisdom. I get stressed out about that sometimes, but it doesn't stress me out enough to follow the lead and stop beating my own drum or experimenting in my own fashion. I often feel like I am so far behind where I should be. But videos like yours help me relax into my own unconventional process and think maybe I am not doing as bad as I think I am. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Great video! I appreciate your time, thank you for sharing this insight. Your doing great with your channel , congratulations on your growth 👍I love having a UA-cam channel...kinda 🤦♀️😂 Stay Blessed 🙏
100% agree on Value. You created a video on a trendy topic plus you sound really authentic. Authenticity seems to be what drives content these days. I was interested in this video all the way through:) Great job André! Glad I found you. I'm up to 370 subs and my most watched videos seem to be the most simple, unscripted ones. Thanks!
great job, ive been enjoying the content. im five years in and just hit 500+ this year, i must be doing really wrong mode haha also, always love you workshop too

Wow, that's excellent ❤ congratulations 🎉
I redesigned my channel page when coming home to my own sloppy design was making me barf. Good design doubled my watch time and subscribers, but it wasn't at the top of my list when I started, nor was my redesign due to wanting to gain more watch time or subscribers. Keep in mind that you lose any watch time that's older than 12 months that many growing channels stagnate after the first year. A niche is just a target audience category, like product reviews or DIY, something you want your channel to become known for. Your cardboard camera tripod was ingenious, lol. I'm going to try that.
Hey! Our channels are about the same size! Last week I was at 519 & today I’m at 600. This was such a good video! Thank you for sharing your experience! I just subscribed! 😊

You are now a UA-cam Growth Advisor. If the suit fits, wear it.
woah, I'm not even close to my watch time, but my subs have shot up
I'm 2 yrs in at 550 subs. My subjects change and that's harmful to fast growth imo. Audio is so important. People's hearing is so bad now you gotta make loud videos, just keep from red lining the audio otherwise speakers can distort
Thank you for the advice. I’m trying to make it to the half way point and beyond. Kinda stuck at the same number though. But I’m not giving up 👏🏼 Subscribed!
