Yes! I love the dedication!🤗💜 Just keep going, you've got this! Improve just one thing with every video. That's what I also try to do. Eventually, we'll be video pros😊
Absolute beginner here as well. 287 subscriber's but not much views. Included English subtitles for a bigger audience, but it didn't do anything. Our channel gives our creativity a boost. And that's the big plus for us. Thank you for you're advice.
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.
@@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😂 Well done on your channel growth by the way! Almost 40k subs. That's amazing!🔥
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.
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.
@@BerthleyAnne My pleasure😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your channel is SO cool! Crocheting is an excellent topic with so much potential to grow. Keep going🔥
Ohh wow!! By you speaking exactly from current experience, I had to immediately subscribe lol I’ll always support the small channels and try and build the community together! Great video 🙌🙏🌱❤️
@@Plantsavvy awww thanks so much!! I appreciate the sub🤗 Your channel looks AWESOME. I'm terrible at gardening, lol😂. And I really admire people like you who are able to keep plants healthy and thriving. Your channel has excellent opportunities for digital products if you decide to do that one day. Keep up the great work!
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. Great video!
@@fantasycraft-forge wow, 2-3 weeks for one video. Well done for your dedication😃🔥 Yes, I absolutely agree with you! It's so important to do something you love!
I appreciate this video! As a new UA-camr, the one thing I’m insecure about is the camera quality. I bought a 12$ ring light but am hoping to get a camera and mic eventually. Great job! Incredible advice here too
@@Izdyrae My pleasure Rae! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video💜 Your camera quality isn't bad at all. Keep up the good work! Also, you can get a clip-on mic for under $50😊
I'm with you, I just keep going, posting, and try to improve. Thanks for sharing this, us smaller You Tubers need all the encouragement we can get. New sub too! Whoop!
You're right! Consistency is key and I've really been slacking in that department😂. But, like I said in the video, I'm getting an editor and I know that will help. I'm ready to go all in now. Good luck with your channel!🔥🥳
Thank you!! This was very encouraging! I started back in August and have only 58 subscribers but I enjoy it. Excited to build a community of like minded people hopefully lol
@@breeleann Hey Bree! Glad you found the video inspirational. Just keep posting. All it takes is one video to pop off and then your channel will get more and more momentum🤗💜
@@lukenasty26 Hey Luke! My pleasure😊. Yes, it's definitely rough at times. But, I believe it'll be worth it in the end! We just need to continue making good content and staying consistent😃
@@RizosKonstantinos thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video😊. So as far as I understand, UA-cam will sometimes play ads on some videos even if the channel isn't monetised. However, in these cases, the creator doesn't get any money from it.
You didn't touch on suddenly having to become a data analyst. Understanding your analytics is the KEY to every UA-camrs success. I just started my channel may 18th and have learned A LOT.
@@WhisperedSanctuary1 Yes, this is definitely another challenge! Analytics are super important. I'm constantly checking mine🤣 Well done for your channel growth so far!🤗
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!
Oh my gosh, that's incredible!!! Well done for all the new subscribers🎉. It sounds like you're on the right path and I'm super happy that you're following you passion of woodworking. As you saw in the video, I know nothing about woodworking, but it always fascinates me😂 You could even do some how to videos, timelapse videos, or even some relaxing videos showing the process. The sky is the limit😁 Best of luck with your channel too🤗
One thing… for anybody wanting to start UA-cam make sure u actually love it. A lot of people start bc they want money. if this is u ur not gonna make it far. UA-cam is a hustle and if u don’t LOVE it ur not gonna last. Hopefully everyone sees success in their futures
@@tyydent Very true Ty!👌 You need to love the topic you cover on your channel, otherwise it'll suck the life out of you and leave you feeling very unhappy. Good luck with your channel!
Yes, it is! I think it only starts getting easier once you have a couple thousand subs and start stacking up the views😊 But, the only way to get there is to keep going!🤗
@@Thecrosbyfamilychannel glad I'm not the only one🙈😂 Thanks so much for watching! Good luck with growing your channel! We just need to keep pushing and we'll get there🤗.
This journey is definitely a challenging one. We only get better with time and not giving up! We got this everyone; here's to a successful UA-cam journey 💞
I completely agree with this. I have been actively on youtube for like 7 months. My views on youtube keep stacking up from things I posted 7 months ago. So whoever is doubting themselves don't give up on your dreams :)
@@Tony_Reilly Hey Tony! So, I spent about $700 on my Canon Camera, $100 on my mic (it's a Rode mounting mic), and about $50 on my ring light and box light. The colorful lights in the background are lights that my husband and I already bought years prior for a birthday party😊. So, in total, I spent about $950. However, I bought it in increments as I saved money. You don't have to start out with all of this (and I recommend you don't wait). In fact, I wish I'd started sooner with the equipment that I had prior to the camera because I ended up wasting months waiting to save up for the equipment.
@chantewalt thanks for the reply yeh I'm in the same boat I have a lumix g6 a joby beamo mini and a joby tripod but hoping to augment that with some rgb lights and a key light maybe in the new year Right now I'm just shooting on my Samsung s21 and that is doing the job for now Do you think live streaming is a good strategy building a channel
@@Tony_Reilly My pleasure, Tony😊 From what I've heard and seen live-streaming is a good strategy for building connection with your audience members. That being said, it won't neccessarily help you go viral. As far as I know, UA-cam usually pushes pre-recorded videos out more.
@@visualtela So true! I also used to struggle with consistency and still do some weeks🙈🙈. However, I've now started to make my videos simpler (simpler script, simpler editing, etc). And it's helping me a lot!
I’m currently documenting my journey with my chronic pain, losing my job in the process and up coming surgery. Besides trying to be perfect, it’s been really really slow with the views (Blogging while chronic is the channel ). I don’t want this to be strictly a health channel. I’m sort of stuck. In love with the process but I don’t know which way to go out how to do it and that’s the reason why I’m slow with my content.
@@miladyspeaks I'm sorry to hear about your chronic pain, Milady. I hope the surgery helps take all the pain away🤗 Your channel sounds great! I think you're definitely on the right path and you can help a lot of people with your content. You can make your channel a health and lifestyle channel. 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. At the end of the day, your channel should be about something that you're passionate about, but that also has income potential😊 P.S. I'll be releasing a small digital product soon that covers how to identify your most profitable niche which I think can help you get the right direction for your channel so you're no longer stuck. If this is something that interests you, send me a DM on Instagram at @heychantewalt and I'll send you the link as soon as it becomes available💜
@@naeru619 Hey Jonathan😊 Just know you're not alone. I think most UA-camrs go through these challenges in the beginning. But we just have to push through🤗 You've got this.
This video is the best example to portray the fact that the most viewed content or the most popular Niche on UA-cam these days is "How to grow on UA-cam"
I've actually found it quite challenging to grow in this niche😅. For example, my client is in the relationship industry and she's managed to grow her channel to over 7k subs relatively quickly. This is the first video of mine that's truly doing very well. It's not only about the niche, but also about research, thumbnails, titles, etc.
@@chantewalt Yeah you are totally right about the research and thumbnails stuff, this one is clearly your best performing video because this is related to what I'm referring to and it's looks more credible coming from you. One of your videos is "How to get 1000 subsribers and you yourself have 360 subsribers, so I feel that sounds less credible, I hope yk what I mean. And if this is your niche then I'd recommend watch the outlier contents of channels in similar niche and make something similar and if one of your videos gets viral then you'll grow quickly. And lastly try to make more shorts as they have more chances of getting viral. I know I'm no expert but I do a lot of research on this topic, so this is my two cents on this thing🙃
@@imtiaz9khan yes, absolutely😊. It definitely has to do with cerdibility. The reason I created the "how to get 1000 subscribers" video is because I helped my client reach that milestone. As I mentioned she now has more than 7000 subs, and so I try to share the tips that I used to help her grow. But, doing it this way (by sharing my own UA-cam journey instead of only my client's journey) is a lot more authentic and relateable. I'm going to be sharing the ups and downs. Thanks for the tips! I hope you also find success with your channel😁
It's a challenge 212 subscribers in almost 3 months, the video that I put effort on gets next to zero views....the video that i haven't worked hard on, gets 1.7k views....
I feel you! This also happened to me🙈. That's why I've decided to try to avoid perfectionism from now on and make my videos as simple, yet as relateable and valuable as possible.
I can relate very well and yes, if you have a regular job and starting out as side business it is really challenging to stay consistent. Its basically the time is running out too fast and before you notice you are already behind schedule :D
@@Pauls-travel-adventures this is SO true!😂 I struggle a lot with consistency. But, I think once I let an editor edit all my videos, it'll be a lot easier to stay consistent.
That's what I think until I get 4 views for a short , let alone a video. But when you look at the ratio of views, subs , etc with the big boys, it not that much different. Saying that getting 5k or just under 10k views for a clip, at times doesn't make sense. 😅
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). I hope this helps🤗
@@JoesFirewoodVideos Hey Joe!😊 Yes, that's definitely still considered small. Depending on the niche, I'd say any channel between 0-50,000 subs is still considered a small channel. After that it goes into the "mid-channel" category. And finally, those with over 500,000 are considered big. At least in my opinion. But, to each their own. Congrats with your channel growth! You're doing amazing!🔥
Oh my gosh!!! I'm a South African living in Italy. I love this so much, I know Lisa!!! She is married to an old school mate of mine! An awesome women she is. Thanks for your enlightened video, I have 225 subscribers, but only got them the month of September since I decided to just post and be consistent. ❤
Im not trying to belittle you, but I've spent 6 months on a video. Honestly, i dont even care about the views anymore. But, I love this video you have made. It is good to hear some other peoples challenges. And, the reality about UA-cam now is that you are competing against other UA-cam channels that have their own production companys and investments. My advice is to just make what you want and do your own thing. Have your own fun. You never know what will happen later.
@@klrtm8o Wow, well done for your preserverence!😃 Yep, UA-cam can be very challenging at times, but it's totally worth it when you get to build a community online of like-minded people😊 Good luck with growing your channel🥳
I remembered 5 years ago my students said they would like to be youtubers....I told them a youtuber is not a career it's passion its not easy to earn money if you just make a video. Many youtubers end up stress, desperate get sick for not getting enough sleep. They ddn't know I also making videos in YT I started 2012.. then, I just had few subs. not even monetized. Anyway, if you think you can earn money....go for it! You need to experience how to make videos and vlog.
@@feverishchic Yes, I hear you. It's very difficult to make money from UA-cam if you're just focusing on adsense. That's why I'm planning on creating a UA-cam Business instead where I'll share my knowledge and sell my own digital products. It's a much better approach😊 Good luck with your channel!😃
Question: Is this your channel? Or do you have a principle channel and this is for commentary? It seems bizarre how many channels are now totally dedicated to how to make channels - very meta.
@@DarylBaines Hey Daryl! Yes, this is my main channel. I created this channel after being a freelance blog writer and content creator for 5 years. I've helped my clients achieve great results with their content and am now ready to build my own business with UA-cam. This channel is all about my journey to shifting from freelancer to full-time content creator and the things I learn along the way😊
@@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🙂.
Yes UA-cam is hard. However Small UA-camrs like me who are yet to be monetized dont give up keep pushing. The frustration is real but dont let it get to you. Focus on the goal. The goal is to grow and you grow by consistency and determination. We can do it. Dont give up!
@@themarekch thank you for visiting! Yes, I'm definitely still getting my footing on what brings me joy to create, but I'm hoping as long as it makes me happy - that's the stuff that will be great to watch and it will show in my editing!
Hey Moriti! Yes, it's not a good feeling to get little views for a lot of work. But, if you just keep posting and improve one thing with every video you create, the views will start to stack up over time😊 Good luck with your channel. I'm rooting for you!💜
Thank you for the encouragement! I get the back & forth battle now and then, but realize everything takes time. Onward we go! Don’t stop, keep creating! 🫶
@@chantewalt Thank you Chante! I appreciate your feedback, it means a lot! No giving up here. I am running two UA-cam channels because I am wanting ALL the experience I can get.

@@andycreatorclub Hey Andy! Wow, well done on your dedication👌. You've posted content every day. That's true commitement! I'm confident you'll go far!🔥
Yes being a new UA-camr is hard. I put so much work into my videos but I feel lost in the sea of all the other people who make similar videos. Also some of the videos I loved filming the most don’t get as many views as my other content so I feel like I have to cater to the videos that get more views.
Ahhhh your channel is about Sims! That's so cool🤩 Yes, I understand how you feel🙈. I also put in a lot of work into some of my videos and then they don't get a lot of views, while other videos that I didn't expect will do well just takes off for some reason. But, mimicking the videos that did well on your channel is a good approach. Do more of what works😊
Yes, absolutely!😊 I know SEO is super important for long-form content being a full-time blog writer. But, while SEO is important for UA-cam, there's also a lot of other things to consider, such as thumbnails, enticing titles, video lenght, storytelling, etc.
Have been on UA-cam for over 2 years now ,stuck at 170 subscribers and iv been consistent trying to learn everyday. I don't even feel like doing anything right now. Feeling low and drained
@@djubebe Well done for your consistency and dedication! I know UA-cam can be very hard🙈 My advice to you is to research other channels in your niche. Study the types of videos they're posting (to determine which videos are doing well and which aren't). Study thumbnails and titles to see which ones get the most views. Then, make similar videos on your channel😊 Just keep going! You've got this, sister!💜
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😁

@@BodyBoostRevolution Yes, it is. But hang in there. Keep posting consistently and one (or multiple) of your videos will eventually give you that push you need🔥🤗
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.
@@charitycodes yes, this is very true. For educational channels the recording part generally goes quicker because you're basically just talking to the camera. But, with entertainment channels like art and gaming, it can take very long to record. Well done on your channel growth. You're doing awesome!🔥😊
Very nice video and explanation. I just started UA-cam music channel a month ago and loosed my job all of sudden few days ago. 32 subscribers at the moment :) Hope will reach at least 272 subs like you. Well done, keep posting your videos.
@@leeandrews2 Hey Lee! Usually video editors ask you what style you want your videos to be edited in😃 So, you can ask them for a more basic style if you want to.
I specialize in boring videos. Earlier this year I posted 12 videos and earned 10 subscribers. Yup, I post disasterpieces for sure. I realized a few years ago that I was making videos to make a person or two laugh. If somebody laughs.....then all is well.
We have a Costco shop with me channel. It’s hard to receive a negative comment like “you did not show the nutritional value,…”. It may be just a 10 minute video, but it took two hours video (in a busy store and trying to stay out of the way of others). Then the visual edits, sound edits, thumb nail, end suggestions,…. Some viewers have no idea how much time goes into even simple videos. But! Keep going! It may be slow to start,…but your patience and dedication will pay off. 👉practice does not make perfect,…it makes progress! I believe in you!💚 BTW I use my phone to shot videos and my iPad with iMovie to edit.👍
This is so true! Negative comments can be very demotivating. And yes, even simple videos take A LOT of work. But, like you said, it's important to just keep going😊 It looks like some of the videos on your channel got great views😃 Super happy for you! Thanks for your comment! I'm cheering you on too!💜
Totally right about the amount of work and effort we content creators go, to produce a 10min video. It can be exhaustive sometimes. I'm absolutely no expert but had a look at your channel and you have some good views, which is great. I know Benji Travis do Costco videos too, so following on @chantewalt advice, it may be useful to look there for some inspiration. Best of luck and keep on going 👍
Same... Its happened with my client’s channel too..but new creators should optimize the videos in the best way so That the yt algo can understand the audience....
I'm making videos for the AI songs I'm creating. Just started my channel last month and have only 75 subscribers. At least I'm enjoying the process of creating the songs and were able to publish them in all the music streaming platforms. I'll continue to create new songs and new videos and grow my channel.

@@Gelukkig-in-de-camper My pleasure You're doing great! Just keep going🤗
I'm a month in, with only 50 subscribers so far. It's a slow, painful road!
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.
@@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😂
Well done on your channel growth by the way! Almost 40k subs. That's amazing!🔥
Good advice, Thankyou !❤
I agree with both of you that content is key and depending on your niche, quality is also important.

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.
@@leeandrews2 very true! Audio is super important!😃
Thanks
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.
Whoowhoo🎉 I'm so happy for you. That's absolutely incredible! Thank you for your encouragement. I'm cheering for you too!😊
that's amazing! I can only dream of that, in this stage of my channel
Thank you for sharing. I’m a fairly new UA-camr with 67 subscribers so far. I won’t give up and I wish all new UA-camrs luck also 😊
@@BerthleyAnne My pleasure😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your channel is SO cool! Crocheting is an excellent topic with so much potential to grow. Keep going🔥
Good video! Keep going, you will eventually get there ladies and gentlemen if you are willing to put in the work. Stay with it!
So true!!🥳 We've all got this!
Ohh wow!! By you speaking exactly from current experience, I had to immediately subscribe lol
I’ll always support the small channels and try and build the community together!
Great video 🙌🙏🌱❤️
@@Plantsavvy awww thanks so much!! I appreciate the sub🤗 Your channel looks AWESOME. I'm terrible at gardening, lol😂. And I really admire people like you who are able to keep plants healthy and thriving. Your channel has excellent opportunities for digital products if you decide to do that one day. Keep up the great work!
Tnx for sharing 🙏let's go new youtubers 💪
I guess this is where all new creators are at!! 🙋🏻♀️
Hey Michelle!👋 So happy to meet another fellow creator😊 Hope you enjoy the video.
Honestly
Being a new UA-camr kinda sucks to put it lightly. You have to grind harder than everyone else. You got this, keep pushing 👍
Oh my gosh, I feel you. It's hard work, but we'll get there😊🔥 Thanks!!
@@chantewalt Of course! This is my second channel so I know how much work it is. Study your competition. That’s what I always did 😆
Wow, 2 UA-cam channels is a huge commitment. Yes, that's what I also do. Research is so important😁 Good luck with your channels!🥳
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.
Great video!
@@fantasycraft-forge wow, 2-3 weeks for one video. Well done for your dedication😃🔥 Yes, I absolutely agree with you! It's so important to do something you love!
I appreciate this video! As a new UA-camr, the one thing I’m insecure about is the camera quality. I bought a 12$ ring light but am hoping to get a camera and mic eventually. Great job! Incredible advice here too
@@Izdyrae My pleasure Rae! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video💜 Your camera quality isn't bad at all. Keep up the good work! Also, you can get a clip-on mic for under $50😊
I'm with you, I just keep going, posting, and try to improve. Thanks for sharing this, us smaller You Tubers need all the encouragement we can get. New sub too! Whoop!
@@SuperGirlSaving My pleasure!💜 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Don't feel alone, we're all going through this and just need to keep going!😊
Thanks so much.
My pleasure!🤗 I'm glad you enjoyed the video😊
When you are small, consistency is key. And test things, look what's working, what not, etc. That's what i'm trying anyway
You're right! Consistency is key and I've really been slacking in that department😂. But, like I said in the video, I'm getting an editor and I know that will help. I'm ready to go all in now. Good luck with your channel!🔥🥳
Thank you!! This was very encouraging! I started back in August and have only 58 subscribers but I enjoy it. Excited to build a community of like minded people hopefully lol
@@breeleann Hey Bree! Glad you found the video inspirational. Just keep posting. All it takes is one video to pop off and then your channel will get more and more momentum🤗💜
Thank you for this! I'm just under 500 at the time of this post with 100 shorts uploaded. Looking to upload long form in the very near future.
Yayyyy well done! Long-form videos is definitely the way to go! Good luck and let me know how the long-form videos go!😃
Yay! We got this! I’ve had ONE video do really well, so it’s encouraging 😅
@@BetterNeurodivergentTravel Hey Lisa!😊 I saw your video has almost 9k views. Congrats!!!🥳 Yes, we've got this🤗
As a new channel myself I understand every aspect of this grind your explaining. Well made video, earned my sub!
@@oddfamilyfun Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video😊 Good luck with your channel!
Thanks for insight it’s been rough but we can’t give up
@@lukenasty26 Hey Luke! My pleasure😊. Yes, it's definitely rough at times. But, I believe it'll be worth it in the end! We just need to continue making good content and staying consistent😃
I am a new UA-camr and relate to everything you’ve said. And because of that, I will subscribe to your channel. Thank you and please keep them coming
@@Khanyi_Kgakwe thanks so much, Khanyi!😃 I'm planning on doing an entire series documenting my journey to becoming a full-time UA-cam, so stay tuned😊
Great video and quick question: How you have mid-roll ads to your video when you are not at the YT partner program?
@@RizosKonstantinos thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video😊. So as far as I understand, UA-cam will sometimes play ads on some videos even if the channel isn't monetised. However, in these cases, the creator doesn't get any money from it.
@@chantewalt That's a bummer. Keep it up tho, you are great.
@@RizosKonstantinos thanks Rizos!😊 And you? Do you have a channel?
@@chantewalt It's on my plans.
@@RizosKonstantinos that's so exciting! Let me know what you decide to do with your channel! I'm super curious to know😁 Good luck!🔥
You didn't touch on suddenly having to become a data analyst. Understanding your analytics is the KEY to every UA-camrs success. I just started my channel may 18th and have learned A LOT.
@@WhisperedSanctuary1 Yes, this is definitely another challenge! Analytics are super important. I'm constantly checking mine🤣 Well done for your channel growth so far!🤗
100% agree with everything! Good luck to all of us new tubers!🍀💖 May the UA-cam Algorithm bless us with impressions🙇♀
@@helijulia Glad you agree😊 Good luck to you too!💜 I'm cheering for you!
As a new UA-camr who's also trying to grow my channel from scratch, this video was so informative. The grind doesn't stop. Thank you♥️♥️♥️
@@LioraMusic Hey Liora! I'm so glad you found the video helpful🤗 Your channel looks amazing and your Shorts are SO good!👌 Well done💜

@@LioraMusic glad you're finding them helpful💜🤗 Let me know if there are any topics you'd like me to cover and I'll consider them for future videos.
New-ish UA-camr here. Great video. It's a lot of work. You're doing wonderful.
@@pctechandgames Wow, well done on your amazing channel growth!!🔥 Keep up the excellent work! Thank you for the encouragement🤗
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!
Oh my gosh, that's incredible!!! Well done for all the new subscribers🎉. It sounds like you're on the right path and I'm super happy that you're following you passion of woodworking.
As you saw in the video, I know nothing about woodworking, but it always fascinates me😂
You could even do some how to videos, timelapse videos, or even some relaxing videos showing the process. The sky is the limit😁
Best of luck with your channel too🤗
@@chantewalt Thanks! I'm having fun even though it's hard work. 🤗
I'm so glad to hear that. Loving what you do is the most important part, otherwise it'll suck the life out of you😂 Good luck🤗
One thing… for anybody wanting to start UA-cam make sure u actually love it. A lot of people start bc they want money. if this is u ur not gonna make it far. UA-cam is a hustle and if u don’t LOVE it ur not gonna last. Hopefully everyone sees success in their futures
@@tyydent Very true Ty!👌 You need to love the topic you cover on your channel, otherwise it'll suck the life out of you and leave you feeling very unhappy. Good luck with your channel!
It’s such a rollercoaster getting started. Keep it up everyone!
Yes, it is! I think it only starts getting easier once you have a couple thousand subs and start stacking up the views😊 But, the only way to get there is to keep going!🤗
This is so true!! I have experienced all these challenges😊
@@Thecrosbyfamilychannel glad I'm not the only one🙈😂 Thanks so much for watching! Good luck with growing your channel! We just need to keep pushing and we'll get there🤗.
This journey is definitely a challenging one. We only get better with time and not giving up! We got this everyone; here's to a successful UA-cam journey 💞
@@lotuszoe Agreed💜🤗
I completely agree with this. I have been actively on youtube for like 7 months. My views on youtube keep stacking up from things I posted 7 months ago. So whoever is doubting themselves don't give up on your dreams :)
So inspirational! It's true, video views really do stack up over time if you stay consistent. Keep up the great work with your channel!🤗
As a new youtuber yourself what equipment are you using as it appears to be a very polished setup if I can ask how much did you spend on that setup??
@@Tony_Reilly Hey Tony! So, I spent about $700 on my Canon Camera, $100 on my mic (it's a Rode mounting mic), and about $50 on my ring light and box light. The colorful lights in the background are lights that my husband and I already bought years prior for a birthday party😊. So, in total, I spent about $950. However, I bought it in increments as I saved money.
You don't have to start out with all of this (and I recommend you don't wait). In fact, I wish I'd started sooner with the equipment that I had prior to the camera because I ended up wasting months waiting to save up for the equipment.
@chantewalt thanks for the reply yeh I'm in the same boat I have a lumix g6 a joby beamo mini and a joby tripod but hoping to augment that with some rgb lights and a key light maybe in the new year
Right now I'm just shooting on my Samsung s21 and that is doing the job for now
Do you think live streaming is a good strategy building a channel
@@Tony_Reilly My pleasure, Tony😊 From what I've heard and seen live-streaming is a good strategy for building connection with your audience members. That being said, it won't neccessarily help you go viral. As far as I know, UA-cam usually pushes pre-recorded videos out more.
Thanks so much..... my challenge has always been consistency
@@visualtela So true! I also used to struggle with consistency and still do some weeks🙈🙈. However, I've now started to make my videos simpler (simpler script, simpler editing, etc). And it's helping me a lot!
@@chantewalt thats nice... ive decided to post once a week, cos of my busy schedule
@@visualtela Once a week is perfect👌😃 It's all you really need to grow your channel.
@@chantewalt Alright.... i'll do so... thanks a lot
I’m currently documenting my journey with my chronic pain, losing my job in the process and up coming surgery. Besides trying to be perfect, it’s been really really slow with the views (Blogging while chronic is the channel ). I don’t want this to be strictly a health channel. I’m sort of stuck.
In love with the process but I don’t know which way to go out how to do it and that’s the reason why I’m slow with my content.
@@miladyspeaks I'm sorry to hear about your chronic pain, Milady. I hope the surgery helps take all the pain away🤗 Your channel sounds great! I think you're definitely on the right path and you can help a lot of people with your content. You can make your channel a health and lifestyle channel. 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. At the end of the day, your channel should be about something that you're passionate about, but that also has income potential😊
P.S. I'll be releasing a small digital product soon that covers how to identify your most profitable niche which I think can help you get the right direction for your channel so you're no longer stuck. If this is something that interests you, send me a DM on Instagram at @heychantewalt and I'll send you the link as soon as it becomes available💜
How much they charge you for editing?
@@CurioCircuit495 I've spoken to different editors and they all charge different prices🙂 Between $30-$100 per video.
I really relate to every struggles & challenge you shared
@@naeru619 Hey Jonathan😊 Just know you're not alone. I think most UA-camrs go through these challenges in the beginning. But we just have to push through🤗 You've got this.
This video is the best example to portray the fact that the most viewed content or the most popular Niche on UA-cam these days is "How to grow on UA-cam"
I've actually found it quite challenging to grow in this niche😅. For example, my client is in the relationship industry and she's managed to grow her channel to over 7k subs relatively quickly. This is the first video of mine that's truly doing very well. It's not only about the niche, but also about research, thumbnails, titles, etc.
@@chantewalt Yeah you are totally right about the research and thumbnails stuff, this one is clearly your best performing video because this is related to what I'm referring to and it's looks more credible coming from you. One of your videos is "How to get 1000 subsribers and you yourself have 360 subsribers, so I feel that sounds less credible, I hope yk what I mean. And if this is your niche then I'd recommend watch the outlier contents of channels in similar niche and make something similar and if one of your videos gets viral then you'll grow quickly. And lastly try to make more shorts as they have more chances of getting viral.
I know I'm no expert but I do a lot of research on this topic, so this is my two cents on this thing🙃
@@imtiaz9khan yes, absolutely😊. It definitely has to do with cerdibility. The reason I created the "how to get 1000 subscribers" video is because I helped my client reach that milestone. As I mentioned she now has more than 7000 subs, and so I try to share the tips that I used to help her grow.
But, doing it this way (by sharing my own UA-cam journey instead of only my client's journey) is a lot more authentic and relateable. I'm going to be sharing the ups and downs.
Thanks for the tips! I hope you also find success with your channel😁
@@chantewalt Good luck to you as well and remember it's a marathon not a 100m sprint, just be consistent and you'll do great
@@imtiaz9khan thanks so much! Same to you!😊
It's a challenge 212 subscribers in almost 3 months, the video that I put effort on gets next to zero views....the video that i haven't worked hard on, gets 1.7k views....
I feel you! This also happened to me🙈. That's why I've decided to try to avoid perfectionism from now on and make my videos as simple, yet as relateable and valuable as possible.
So true 👍. I'm still starting
wishing you and all baby youtubers luck on your journey!!
Thanks Layla, same to you!💜 P.s. You're doing amazing with your channel! I'm cheering for you from this side of the world🤗🥳
Really needed this rn
So glad the video helped🤗 Just keep going with your channel! You've got this!
I can relate very well and yes, if you have a regular job and starting out as side business it is really challenging to stay consistent. Its basically the time is running out too fast and before you notice you are already behind schedule :D
@@Pauls-travel-adventures this is SO true!😂 I struggle a lot with consistency. But, I think once I let an editor edit all my videos, it'll be a lot easier to stay consistent.
Over 7 billion people in the world, someone’s bound to like your style.
What an encouragement!
Very true😊 Thanks!
That's what I think until I get 4 views for a short , let alone a video. But when you look at the ratio of views, subs , etc with the big boys, it not that much different. Saying that getting 5k or just under 10k views for a clip, at times doesn't make sense. 😅
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).
I hope this helps🤗
That's exactly right
following your journey and new subscriber, never give up ⬆️
Thanks so much, Irene! I'm excited for this journey and glad you'll be a part of it🤗 Well done with your channel growth so far. Amazing!
Wouldn’t being under 500 subscribers also be considered a small UA-cam channel?
@@JoesFirewoodVideos Hey Joe!😊 Yes, that's definitely still considered small. Depending on the niche, I'd say any channel between 0-50,000 subs is still considered a small channel. After that it goes into the "mid-channel" category. And finally, those with over 500,000 are considered big. At least in my opinion. But, to each their own.
Congrats with your channel growth! You're doing amazing!🔥
As I knew UA-camr, it’s been very difficult. But I’ve been trying each day 💪
@@XoticNovaa Just keep going😊
Oh my gosh!!! I'm a South African living in Italy. I love this so much, I know Lisa!!! She is married to an old school mate of mine! An awesome women she is. Thanks for your enlightened video, I have 225 subscribers, but only got them the month of September since I decided to just post and be consistent. ❤
What a small world😃💜 Lisa is AMAZING! Love her to bits. Your channel is doing incredible! Love the holistic living topic. I'm cheering for you!🥳🥳
Im not trying to belittle you, but I've spent 6 months on a video. Honestly, i dont even care about the views anymore. But, I love this video you have made. It is good to hear some other peoples challenges. And, the reality about UA-cam now is that you are competing against other UA-cam channels that have their own production companys and investments. My advice is to just make what you want and do your own thing. Have your own fun. You never know what will happen later.
@@klrtm8o Wow, well done for your preserverence!😃 Yep, UA-cam can be very challenging at times, but it's totally worth it when you get to build a community online of like-minded people😊 Good luck with growing your channel🥳
Good video! I subscribed! Love the last name, lol!!!
Glad you enjoyed it😊 Lol, thanks, you too!!😅
I remembered 5 years ago my students said they would like to be youtubers....I told them a youtuber is not a career it's passion its not easy to earn money if you just make a video.
Many youtubers end up stress, desperate get sick for not getting enough sleep. They ddn't know I also making videos in YT I started 2012.. then, I just had few subs. not even monetized. Anyway, if you think you can earn money....go for it! You need to experience how to make videos and vlog.
@@feverishchic Yes, I hear you. It's very difficult to make money from UA-cam if you're just focusing on adsense. That's why I'm planning on creating a UA-cam Business instead where I'll share my knowledge and sell my own digital products. It's a much better approach😊 Good luck with your channel!😃
Accurate! But as a new youtuber and to all small content creators DO NOT GIVE UP! And stay true to yourself 💚✨️
@@FoodieHope Glad you liked the video🤗 And well said!💜
Question: Is this your channel? Or do you have a principle channel and this is for commentary?
It seems bizarre how many channels are now totally dedicated to how to make channels - very meta.
@@DarylBaines Hey Daryl! Yes, this is my main channel. I created this channel after being a freelance blog writer and content creator for 5 years. I've helped my clients achieve great results with their content and am now ready to build my own business with UA-cam. This channel is all about my journey to shifting from freelancer to full-time content creator and the things I learn along the way😊
@@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🙂.
This is so relatable… great video
@@Les0106 thanks so much! Glad you liked the video😊 Congrats on your channel growth! Almost 2k subs. Amazing!
Great tips for new youtubers, as a video editor, I'm planning to start my own channel. Consistency and patience really pay off,, thanks for the advice
That's awesome!🎉 What are you planning on making your channel about? Video editing
Yes UA-cam is hard. However Small UA-camrs like me who are yet to be monetized dont give up keep pushing. The frustration is real but dont let it get to you. Focus on the goal. The goal is to grow and you grow by consistency and determination. We can do it. Dont give up!

Yes being a new UA-camr is hard. I put so much work into my videos but I feel lost in the sea of all the other people who make similar videos. Also some of the videos I loved filming the most don’t get as many views as my other content so I feel like I have to cater to the videos that get more views.
Ahhhh your channel is about Sims! That's so cool🤩 Yes, I understand how you feel🙈. I also put in a lot of work into some of my videos and then they don't get a lot of views, while other videos that I didn't expect will do well just takes off for some reason.

Evergreen content and a good SEO description will help.
Yes, absolutely!😊 I know SEO is super important for long-form content being a full-time blog writer. But, while SEO is important for UA-cam, there's also a lot of other things to consider, such as thumbnails, enticing titles, video lenght, storytelling, etc.
@@chantewalt it doesn’t matter how good your title and thumbnail is without being searchable

@@djubebe Well done for your consistency and dedication! I know UA-cam can be very hard🙈 My advice to you is to research other channels in your niche. Study the types of videos they're posting (to determine which videos are doing well and which aren't). Study thumbnails and titles to see which ones get the most views. Then, make similar videos on your channel😊 Just keep going! You've got this, sister!💜

@@leeandrews2 awww 🥰🥰. Thank you so much 🙏

@@kellmarktv Thanks for the encouragement. I'm trusting the process🤗
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
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😁
Thank you for this video. I'm a new UA-camr too. 😊
@@QuizTofu my pleasure! I hope the video was helpful in some way🤗 Good luck with your channel!
Thank you for sharing these things. Unrelated but I was wondering if you’re from Germany? It’s one of my favorite countries.
@@BiblicallyHandle so awesome meeting a fellow Christian🤗 No, I'm from South Africa💜
Ugh, I'm at 206, I can really relate to this. Hopefully moving forward I will improve with each video. Good luck to you :)
Hey Ellen! Congrats on the 206 subs so far. I'm so sorry for what you're going through and I know it must be hard. But, you're like a ray of sunshine and so inspiring🤗! I really feel in my heart that I want to help you with your channel because I know you can help so many people out there who are in similar situations. So, if you'd like me to give you some tips on how to grow (free of charge), send me a DM on IG @heychantewalt and we can chat💜 Sending love, Chanté
@@chantewalt Thank you so much for your kind words. I sincerely appreciate that you would give me some tips on how to grow. You an angel. I will be reaching out to you soon. Wishing you all the best
I like the way you go straight to the points. Love from Ghana. Keep up. I have my own channel. My hand cli ck your channel by mistake but trust me I like it. I subscribe
@@sulemanamohammed9613 thanks so much! I'm glad you liked my video😊 Good luck with growing your channel!!
I feel ya
@@Smallfish16 glad to hear you can relate😊 It's hard, but if we just keep going, we'll get there!
One month in, JUST hit 50. It's a lot of work, patience and emotion.
@@BodyBoostRevolution Yes, it is. But hang in there. Keep posting consistently and one (or multiple) of your videos will eventually give you that push you need🔥🤗
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.
@@charitycodes yes, this is very true. For educational channels the recording part generally goes quicker because you're basically just talking to the camera. But, with entertainment channels like art and gaming, it can take very long to record. Well done on your channel growth. You're doing awesome!🔥😊
Very nice video and explanation. I just started UA-cam music channel a month ago and loosed my job all of sudden few days ago. 32 subscribers at the moment :) Hope will reach at least 272 subs like you. Well done, keep posting your videos.
Ahhhh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your job. I hope you find success with your channel!🤗 Thanks so much for watching!
Yes totally
In regards to using a freelancer video editor, wouldn't that make my videos "loose" my identity?
@@leeandrews2 Hey Lee! Usually video editors ask you what style you want your videos to be edited in😃 So, you can ask them for a more basic style if you want to.
@chantewalt good point. Thank you so much. Really, got lots of valuable i sights from this video. Thanks for sharing it 😊
Enjoy while making your content
Yes, absolutely! We must enjoy the process😊
I specialize in boring videos. Earlier this year I posted 12 videos and earned 10 subscribers. Yup, I post disasterpieces for sure.
I realized a few years ago that I was making videos to make a person or two laugh. If somebody laughs.....then all is well.
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals making people love is an awesome goal to have🤗
@@chantewalt you make a great point!
Have a super week!
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals lol, I meant making people laugh🤣🤣 Don't know what happened there. Thank you, you must have a super week too!🤗
We have a Costco shop with me channel. It’s hard to receive a negative comment like “you did not show the nutritional value,…”. It may be just a 10 minute video, but it took two hours video (in a busy store and trying to stay out of the way of others). Then the visual edits, sound edits, thumb nail, end suggestions,…. Some viewers have no idea how much time goes into even simple videos.
But! Keep going! It may be slow to start,…but your patience and dedication will pay off. 👉practice does not make perfect,…it makes progress!
I believe in you!💚
BTW I use my phone to shot videos and my iPad with iMovie to edit.👍
This is so true! Negative comments can be very demotivating. And yes, even simple videos take A LOT of work. But, like you said, it's important to just keep going😊
It looks like some of the videos on your channel got great views😃 Super happy for you!
Thanks for your comment! I'm cheering you on too!💜
Totally right about the amount of work and effort we content creators go, to produce a 10min video. It can be exhaustive sometimes. I'm absolutely no expert but had a look at your channel and you have some good views, which is great. I know Benji Travis do Costco videos too, so following on @chantewalt advice, it may be useful to look there for some inspiration. Best of luck and keep on going 👍
thanks for the info 🥰🥰
My pleasure! Glad you liked the video🤗 Good luck with your channel!
good luck
Thank you!!!😊
Yes just keep doing it over time you will be surprised 😊
@@DeTrafficStreetBeatz Thank you! Well done with your channel growth! You're doing great🥳
I'm a new youtuber coming up with my small channel. Thanks for your advice and encouragement. Dominique from Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Hey Dominique! My pleasure😊 Keep up the great work with your channel🎉
I'm feeling this too 😅
@@midsouly It's rough😂 But, we can all inspire each other and keep going! Your food looks delicious by the way🤗
Hi there, I agree with you. Very difficult to create ones content
I know, right? It can be very time consuming!🙈 But, I see you have a couple thousand subs. Well done!🎉🤗
Amazing. Thanks for sharing 🙏
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video😃😊
We might be the most popular 26 subscriber channel in youtube history!
@@KnivezBrozworld yeeessss, just keep going!🥳 Thanks for watching my video😊
Same... Its happened with my client’s channel too..but new creators should optimize the videos in the best way so That the yt algo can understand the audience....
Yes, that's true. UA-cam is finally starting to realise what my channel is about🔥😊
I guess you need to buy the colored lights for the back wall. Very on trend. Blue and magenta.
@@BoxingUniversityGym yes, the lights look really pretty👌 I think mine is actually party lights or something🤣 I had to improvise. It's called Govee.
@@chantewalt good to share👍
I'm making videos for the AI songs I'm creating. Just started my channel last month and have only 75 subscribers. At least I'm enjoying the process of creating the songs and were able to publish them in all the music streaming platforms.
I'll continue to create new songs and new videos and grow my channel.
Thank you for the tips.🎉
@@GardeneMusic this sounds incredible! Well done for getting 75 subs in your first month!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and good luck with your channel🤗 You can do it!
