      As I mentioned to you before, I have another channel made specifically for 3D art and animation. I have no plans on getting rid of this channel simply because I am all over the place on youtube, I value the subscriptions I have have with it to give me various things I look for. I want to keep the new one strictly for the 3D and maybe Canadian stuff, and not have tons of subscriptions I have to weed through to find what I am looking for. Also because I keep it regulated, I only get suggestions related to how I use that channel.
      On a side note, we both mentioned the Paint Shop Pro program, I have discovered Krita, which is free and you don't need a pen tablet to use it, it also gives Photoshop a run for it's money, many Photoshop stuff works in Krita. You should check it out.

    I'm rebranding my channel right now, going from action-comedy shorts in Greek (from when I used to be a kid) to Tech/Programming/Machine Learning/Entertainment (in English) and I've noticed that UA-cam is suggesting my new videos on the videos related to my old content, which does not make any sense and I believe prevents the channel from getting the exposure from the new audience I'm now looking for. I've only updated 3 new videos of the new content so far, so I'm hoping it will be resolved soon.

      I wonder if that will happen with my videos over time. I see for my new niche some people with 20 followers get thousands of views and my videos get 0 even though I have 400 subs.
      It feels like my videos are not shown to the people that are interested into this kind of content I am doing but to my old potential viewership and I am not sure if my account will ever adjust.

I'll keep my personal/main account for unboxings, software tutorials, and VLOG style content, and keep my separate gaming channel for well...all gaming related stuff! Also have ANOTHER channel for my podcast as well haha

    Thanks Alan. The same question has been on my mind for about a month now. Yes, I am definitely rebranding my old, half-dead channel (since 2010).😅 I used to upload my work activities regularly, then I got tired. With the coming of covid, I stayed home all the time. One day Mr UA-cam sent me an email telling me they have stopped monetizing my pitiful channel because of inactivity. 😥 I have 3,132 subscribers, 4,018 views in the last 28 days, and almost 2 million views since 2010. Three days ago I found out I have $79.63 in Adsense. Now I am fired up. And your video motivate me to rebrand my channel. Thanks again, Alan. 😀 I am now your subscriber.

I don't want to start a new channel for the travel vlogs but I don't want to lose my art followers' interest either because the 2 topics are not really related so...
    I've trying to think of a way to merge both with maybe a tutorial integrated into my travel vlog videos (think 'we're visiting A and now B, and now I'm taking a break to do some art (tutorial), then let's go visit C'' kind of thing)... Is that stupid? What do you think? I hope you have a better suggestion ;-)!!!

    So I started my channel in 2006... Published a few videos and didn't look at it for years... when I did look years later I realized that those few vids had a few hundred thousand views... So around 2014 I started publishing more regularly, but only once every couple of weeks... Now, I am all in and really want to build the channel, but have been struggling with UA-cam simply ignoring my vids and not suggesting them to new audiences. My subs watch... I get about 1k views... then it tends to die off. So I've been wondering since my channel is so old, has the algorithm at some point flagged my channel as an old channel that was non-active ...and now, no matter what I do or how much I publish, it will not push my content? Do you think there is any merit to that? The channel is currently at 10.8K subs. I am terrified to erase all the work I have put into the channel and start all over.

      I don't think starting a new channel would help. You need to make content people want to watch. Look at your analytics and study what videos did well and which ones didn't. Make sure to take the YT creators courses and learn to use metatags, keywords, etc. Make sure to have your social media pointed to your channel and do marketing.

    Hi Alan
    Random question here…So I do have an old you tube account from 10 years ago…That I want to completely re niche…my question is will the current videos I have on it that have over 4000 viewing hours count towards getting monotized? And then after can I delete them? Do you get what I am saying? It only has 200 followers, and I know I need 1000 followers and 4000 viewing hours…

    My channel is 1 year old. Couldn't constantly upload. Now ok and can continue. But will i be entitled to monitization if i continue the existing channel. Or in this situation 1. Rebranding 2. Newly starting is advisable. Please reply.

    Here is an interesting one. Im a rapper with lots of buddies who rap. So i originally created my channel as a place to showcase all of us. But as life moves on i realized that i wanna convert to it being a place that represents me as a individual artist. Ive built a decent viwership with a couple hundred subs and still post regularily. I wanna change the name, logo and content to represent me and only be me. Would it be better to rebrand the channel or start a new one and attempt to bring my following to the new channel? My current channel is very old. Used it for viewing for about a decade then last year decided it was time to jump in the ring. Is my old channel growing slowly because its old? Would my algorithm be reset in a good way if i make a new one?

    I have a question. I am fighting this again weather to start a new channel or to continue on my old one. I am making the same content but I am really trying to get it out there and my current channel has about 840 and has been fighting this for a few months of going up and down. And I don't know if it would be better now that i am way more expirenced to start a new channel and reupload the best videos or continue on my old. Still making same animation content too. Got any ways to really promote yourself? For artists an or animators

    Honestly I just need a second opinion on things, I started this channel in 2019, took a 3 month break this year, then deleted all of my content and started uploading new content I was happy with, but I’m not getting many views, should I keep going or make a new channel?

I am so tired of pushing, uploading every week, putting my money and time into something that wont grow! But I don't want to stop making videos! Do I just start a new channel with my new content?

  • @sarahfristoe1264
    @sarahfristoe1264 2 роки тому

    Ok I have a pretty specific question. I have a very successful UA-cam channel I used to be really active on but it was in its prime 8-12 years ago now. It’s still up bc people still like my videos but it’s been 4 years since my last video. Should I rename that channel and clearly change the niche and content I’m creating? Or start from scratch? The main reason I ask is because I do have old videos on there with copyrighted music included in some of them. Of course those videos are my most watched videos of all time. One at almost a million views. My subscribers are still over 36k though so I hate to just throw all that work away if it would be beneficial to me now. Tia for any help!!

  • @JordanREALLYreally
    @JordanREALLYreally 3 роки тому

    Great explainer! Here's a zinger: not only will I be rebranding my channel (unrelated content to why my channel grew), but I will also be taking down all the old videos. So the channel will empty. I have 2000 subscribers, so should I start a new channel? In other words: is there any benefits to the algorithm in having a new channel (and then uploading only the highest quality content 😉)?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks for your video, it was helpful. I have a channel that was active several years ago (900 subs), but now am changing directions. I was wondering if it's a good idea to try to find something in common between the 2 niches or topics? It's just hard to convince your subs. that the new content will be helpful for them too! for some reason, it feels like I'm being sneaky, lol.
    My previous topic was art/journalling related, and now I am doing more personal growth. Any ideas?

      Glad you found it helpful, Michelle! It's all about the way you transition it. Perhaps you can blend personal growth with art. In the end, it's about authenticity and what you're passionate about. Progress and change isn't sneaky, it's evolution. Good luck!

    I had a small amount of views still coming in on my channel from when i did youtube 8 years ago under a gaming channel. Came back in Jan to try and do somthing diff. I ended up unlisting all my old videos (not deleting) and went the crypto way of life. The first few months it was hard and it still is kinda hard just now starting to recall the best way to do thumbnails and trying to get viewers. But great video keep up the good work =)

Last videos was 2 month ago which was uploaded about 6 months later. I've 158 subscriber and 104.5 hours watch time. I want to upload videos consistently from now. What should I do, continue with this channel or create a new channel?

    Hello there my channel was running fine until i did a big mistake i deleted some of my old videos thinking they were dead and outperforming and it was attracting the wrong subscribers now due to this I lost ample amount of watch hrs and views which was obvious but due to this my new videos are struggling to get ranked and even some of my old videos which were seen in the rank are not ranking now and views have also considerably dropped, my weightage of channel has gone down now even after regular uploads. What should I do now? When all this will return to normal? Please suggest what I should be doing in such a situation? I should have made it private or unlisted but now there's no use those videos are gone, so should I keep uploading videos as usual as I used to?

I want to do self-improvement videos, just seems like a waste to throw away the channel. Should I rebrand? (I have currently rebranded and posted 2 vids but I am debating whether that was the right idea. My videos currently on 60 views each which is for sure lower than previously.
