    Started my channel at the beginning of this year and the climb to 1000 subscribers was slow and daunting. Then I had a video pop off and get 50k views, which put me over the 1k subscribers mark and get monetized. It is possible and you never know when it'll happen! I'm still a small youtuber and I don't make a lot of money on my videos, but even making a few bucks is encouraging.

    Mrbeast said something that I think is quite profound, it doesn't matter how good your editing is, when you're a small channel, first release 100 videos and then you can start worrying about views and subscribers. You'll have to accept that your first 100 videos are not going to get a lot of views. The sad reality that people often fail to acknowledge, is that in the beginning at-least, content is king.
    For small creators, quantity often matters more than quality. It's better to start off with a lot of poorly edited low production videos and improve the quality as you grow vs releasing only a handful of videos slowly while trying to keep improving the quality as a small creator. You have to have balance. Anyway, don't give up. Much respect for small creators.

    • @chantewalt
      @chantewalt  5 місяців тому

      @@angryguymwa yes, I agree that quantity matters a lot😁. However, it also depends on the type of channel you have. For example, my channel is education-based and not really entertainment-based. For education channels, it's important to make sure the quality is also good because you're trying to teach people things. So, posting 1 good quality video per week is good. As for entertainment channels, you can post more.
      But, I agree that regardless of the type of channel you have, the first couple of videos are definitely lower quality as you're getting used to creating videos😂

      I agree with both of you that content is key and depending on your niche, quality is also important.
      I think that one of the aspects that most new youtubers (myself included) forget is to give paramount attention to audio quality, no matter what.
      Let's face it: your video can be of poor editing, low res and low budget with good content, but if audio quality sucks, no one will want to watch it.

    Totally agree - making one video takes about 2-3 weeks, so I always split them into 4 parts. Even if the views aren't always the best, I really love the grind and creation process.
    If you don't enjoy the process (or at least parts of it), it will be very hard to do long-term. It's cliche, but really try to find something you like at least a bit rather than just looking for money.

So, you can talk about your chronic pain and the steps you're taking to get better, and you can also record videos about your life and experiences.

    Hi Chante, I must be that woodworker you were talking about! 🤣 I'm actually a fulltime UI/UX designer and manage a team of designers. But I also have a hobby of woodworking. I started my channel a year ago in April, and did about 5 videos and just stopped. Many things were an issue. I was working out of my garage, so I had to work mostly in my driveway, but once June came it started getting too hot. Plus, I think I was putting my energy in the wrong place. So I stopped and waited. Once April 2024 came, I was renewed and more determined to do this, but I wanted to take a different approach. So my new "1st" video concentrated on my new plan to first clean out and organize the garage, and make it a proper shop. When I started again in April, I had just around 200 subs, as of today I have 550. I've been trying to stay consistent, post more frequently, and also try different things, like posting shorts, and community posts. I think it all helps, I'm going to try a consistent schedule of Daily community posts, daily shorts, 2 short long form (Updates, behind the scenes) videos and one long form video a week. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the video. I totally could identify with everything you were talking about. Best of luck for your channel! I'll subscribe to yours!!! Thanks!

      I know it's super hard in the beginning. But if you can get UA-cam to figure out who your videos are for, the algorithm will start pushing it out to more of the right people😊 You can do it! Just keep going.
      - Make sure you include the right keywords (it's not all about SEO, but keywords does help YT determine what the video is about). Include the keyword in your title, description, and also say it in the video a couple of times if you can.
      - Make your thumbnails super striking and intriguing so you can get the viewer to want to watch more.
      - Keep your titles short, sweet, and impactful🙂
      - Be yourself! (I struggled so long with this one, but I'm pushing myself to just be me in my videos).

    Editing isn't always the biggest time sync. It depends on your type of video and how smart you are at the work flow. For example, my gaming channel takes at least 5 hours to record. Sometimes, it can take up to 10 hours. Editing is 2-3 hours due to how I mark edit spots by speaking during the interesting parts and staying silent during the boring parts. I get a 30-60 minute video out of this. I also use ShotCut which seems super fast and easy to learn compared to Adobe.

    Can someone explain SEO in descriptions? Does yourube search go based on tags or descriptions or both? Im a gaming channel but still trying to grow

    • @chantewalt
      @chantewalt  5 місяців тому +1

      So, I've found that while SEO does help, the best approach is to choose the right topics (based on videos that are already doing well on UA-cam) and create enticing thumbnails and titles😊.
      As for SEO, I use VidIQ to find keywords and try to put my keyword in my title, description, and say it in my video if I can. But, if I can't that's also okay.
      I don't focus that much on tags, but I basically include different variations of the keyword as my tags.
      I hope this helps😁

      @@chantewalt I'm about 2 steps ahead of you with my small channel (not this one I commenting from).
      After 6 months of posts, an outlier viral video pushed me over the monetization threshold - which I think would have taken a very long time otherwise. Now I'm caught in the trap that in about 9 months, I will probably fall below the 4000 watch hours threshold - that is difficult to sustain, with occasional virals.
      Anyway, having become monetized, there is a new and unexpected problem: getting Google Adsence to function, so I can actually access earnings. This involves being sent a physical letter, through the post, with a confirmation PIN number. If you live in US, it's probably quite easy, but living in a country where the mail can be a bit more random, this is more difficult than it sounds ... and there is a time limit on activation.
      So that's where I am ... but it's all fun! Gamification of work!

      @@DarylBaines First of all, wow, well done for getting past the 1000 subs mark!🔥 Yes, I definitely hear you regarding the difficulty to maintain 4000 watch hours since it can be hard if not all the videos perform well.
      From what I've seen with my client's channel, a lot of the times it works like a snowball effect. When one video performs well, it often causes the other videos to also get more views - especially if you're using your cards and end screens.
      Maybe try incorporating more cards into your videos if you aren't already doing it.
      Also, instead of only relying on adsense, you can try building a business around your channel and sell your own digital products (depending on the type of channel you have). That way, you don't have to only rely on adsense🙂.

    As a new UA-camr, I hear you with the money. But even the $500/month is helpful. That's a car payment, or a good chunk of rent. If youtube wants me to post once a week, I can film/edit and upload a video in a weekend and post it. Doing that every weekend for $500/month sounds like a pretty easy weekend job (that will keep paying over time rather than a job you do once and it only gives you a pay check that one time).
    perspective is a great thing to have!
