    For the people that haven’t started yet, please read this. If you’re planning on starting I highly recommend to not tell anyone yet, trust me they will definitely not believe in you, I have done this with some other stuff and even my best friends brought me down. I told them only when I gained a few hundred subscribers as they couldn’t talk me down at that point. Point is, don’t tell anyone before you see a little bit of success. Wish you the best of luck.

      ok ill give you some tips and its up to you if you want to listen to me or not, i might be late as well since u commented this about 8 months ago but the major success in youtube is litteraly your passion, you need to be humble and down to earth, dont play a character and also use out of pocket humour to grab peoples attention,as you can see from my channel it got to about 600 subs but i stopped because of school and to be honest i shouldnt have stopped, remember as well quality is better then quantity.

    Never give up on UA-cam!! I did UA-cam for 4 years before I saw some success. I hopped around channels from 2016-2020, posting probably over 300 videos. The most popular one had 70k views but the 2nd most popular had 400 views, meaning that the popular video was a 1-hit-wonder because it was called "TV Screen Transition" and got a CTR of like 18%. After posting on this channel from 2020-2022, I finally beat the shorts algorithm and learned how it works. I peaked with 2,800 subscribers in a week, which is insane in itself, but right now I just quadrupled my best. I have gained 12,000 subscribers in the last week.

    Great tips! The only thing I’d point out is that some channel/content formats don’t really make it possible to do thumbnails/titles ahead of time (let’s plays, other live emergent/unscripted content). For example: you know you’re going to do a video (or multiple) on an event like a convention, you might have an idea of what companies will be there but cool stuff might just pop up and you go with it.
    What I would say is to NOT FORGET to make the thumbnail creation process part of your workflow and something you think about WHILE making the video (as in, look for stuff that would make for a good thumbnail before ending the record session fully so you don’t have to search through and try and find a clear, well framed shot to serve this purpose as a bandaid solution at the end).

    I started a UA-cam channel as another way to convey information to our community. Being a niche inside a niche, growth is slow and money is scarce but that's not the goal anyway. Our commitment towards our community and provide a good service is our goal.
    I wish we had more time to do a few more videos, though.

    It defo isn't easy, but whenever I can. The reason I started a youtube channel is mainly because of two things. I love making videos/editing them ever since I was young and because of my current situation things have been really hard so i'm hoping to generate some income if possible so I could help my mom and dad as well. So back then I would only get 2 hours to use the computer with the internet on and whenever there was no internet I would mess around with windows player and and make videos of whatever I can, there was no free software to record back then, I had to use Hypercam or fraps and then I just sort of left it.. so now i'm back at it and trying to do my best to make videos of the games I like and just improve on the mistakes I do.

  • @GentleBerserkerBeats
    @GentleBerserkerBeats 2 роки тому +5

    I'm my mind there are two main reasons for the channel I'm starting by the end of summer. I'd like to share with others how using VR for exercise and fitness works and that it can be an effective fitness tool, especially for people that don't like regular exercise. Also how using VR for exercise sparked an interest in other exercise activities for me.
    People generally don't believe VR can be used for effective exercise. That VR is only for entertainment or maybe work. I intend to change that perception. By doing so I'm hoping the channel will encourage people to try it for themselves.
    The other reason, which is unashamedly a selfish one, is that I'm hoping that by going public with my fitness journey the pressure will be on to continue hopefully succeed in getting fit and healthy.
    The channel will most likely be called "Gentle Berserker".
    In addition to the fitness perspective it will also feature other VR activities, mainly gaming. Some regular flat screen gaming will probably also make guest appearances.

    People should make videos they enjoy making and not create a channel just to try to be a successful YTer. For some channels, it only take months to gain popularity, while for others, you could have a channel for years and still be a small channel. It’s best to start YT as a hobby and not try to make it your sole career/source of income. You can always reevaluate as your channel grows. And it it stays small, in the end that’s okay too. Even if you make one other person’s day brighter/inspire one person, it still counts.

Making late night snacks allows me to be more experimental in my cooking, as I'm just cooking for me, not my family. As a result I'm much more adventurous. During conversations people seemed excited about my late night cooking adventures so I thought there might be a wider interest. That and I needed a new creative outlet.

Unfortunately, I haven't been very successful at building a community, maybe you can create a video about that?

    Love the video! I think most content creators start not realizing that youtube is truly about the grind. I've been doing content across multiple channels and only recently have I seen some positive growth. Just something that I thought some of you might find interesting, I recently discovered that youtube generates 'chapters' for videos without chapters based off of closed captions when in search. So I guess that this is an indicator that auto-generated subtitles are important in youtube search results.
