Roberto, the last tip, make shareable content resonated with me. Please make a video on that. I like the tip but my question is how do you do that?! And once you make the videos, where do you share them to get the best results. I'm not expecting to go viral overnight, but I do want it to be somewhat measurable.
I would listen to your videos all day. Really helpful. Can't believe this is free. You gave us gold. Depends only on each of us to do something smart or not. Grear, man. You deserve all the success because you give us the possibility of success. Last sentence here i started to talk like you .. ha ha haaa !
I started youtube last year and the mistakes you've mentioned are exactly what I've done. Now, I'm growing tremendously with over 2k+ subs and 200 watch hours away from monetization! The thing that helps me most is to not pay attention to numbers, Continue, take a step back and critique yourself, find your niche, be yourself and upload regularly will makes the journey so much fun and easier!
My challenge is that being myself, to some viewers at least, is too boring. I’ve been told I need more pep and that I’m too dry. Do I keep doing what I’m doing or try to be more peppy?
Wow that’s awesome 👏🏽 I’m listening to this because I’m a small UA-cam with 8K subs and I’ve been doing this for years I feel like I should be way further 🙃
Being respectful of time is so important! There is a creator I recently unsubbed from. Initially watched a few videos that I thought offered value, but then I started to see he could have taken 1/3 of the time he did and got the same points across. I always compliment your channel on this!
I agree so much with this!! Super long intros are usually what gets me to unsubscribe from a channel once I notice it’s a consistent pattern for that channel. I definitely make sure not to do that on mine.
I've had this experience too. A couple of minutes of rambling here and there I can handle. But if a 20-minute video is 15 minutes of rambling then I unsubscribe.
@@Mrs.LivingLikeJessica Exactly! Obviously people are typically trying to make money on UA-cam so I get they time counts but if you're getting crazy it, NOPE hahah
In my experience assisting UA-camrs in growing their Channels, the three most important things BY FAR that everybody fails to do is create captivating thumbnails/titles, pick a content niche that'll have high demand yet low competition, and make videos that will retain viewers for long watch sessions. If you do those three things you can easily hit 100K your first year and in rare cases even your first month.
This is so encouraging! Hitting 100k in my first year is a big goal of mine. Got my first 3 videos up and the analytics are looking good! I've got 150+ videos under my belt from old channels in the past years so I feel I've got a good shot at making this work ☺️
Man I was like WHAT?!? That sounds impossible but if you have experience from doing other channels then yeah maybe it's possible. You have to be pretty lucky starting from scratch to pull that off. I've seen it happen but it seems more like the exception then the rule.
I like the #realtalk because for me, seeing other people in my niche surpass my numbers can be discouraging. Forcing myself to edit for 4-6 hours when I start to wonder if it will ever "work out for me" is discouraging. But you know what? That's part of the journey. Knowing that I feel this way sometimes, and it's not always a walk in the park will make it all the more rewarding when I succeed. And I believe that having that mindset sets me up for success long term.
Responding to comments is a big one! I've been on UA-cam for just over 2 years and am only approaching 10,000 subs. But I always respond to comments and I've gotten into great conversations and made an effort to help a lot of people. Now it's one of the things I love most about being a UA-camr!
Wow great point about people chasing bigger UA-camrs and trying to copy their results without looking at methods, thought process, intent - the WHY. “Do YOUR best, don’t replicate THEIR best.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah, quality is very important… rn I’m focusing mostly on how to improve audio and video quality and how to become a better speaker. “The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.”
I struggled with demotivating myself especially when my videos weren’t getting the views I wanted, it can get discouraging. I’m SO glad I seen this video this was so helpful thank you!
It is real easy.......all you need to do is to watch every video on UA-cam and make a video just like it and then post it as quick as you can and then everyone will watch your videos.
Am glad I found your channel a few months now. You have helped my small home decor channel so much since am watching you and a few other creators. Everything you spoke about are strictly facts. All small youtubers have surely made a few of these mistakes. I did until i start watching and leaning from experienced creators
What I love most about your videos is that you don't sugarcoat things, and deliver facts that might be difficult for some people to accept but ultimately helps them. Can't wait for your next video!
Roberto - you’re always there to talk sense into me when I’m feeling discouraged about my UA-cam progress 😂 thank you! I’ve been on the platform since late 2017 but didn’t really get serious until 2019. I’ve been really feeling down lately because I was having some momentum then feel like, despite my videos improving lately… my progress has been down. Sometimes you gotta remember that the seed you plant today may take a while to blossom. Heck - 5 videos of mine that are doing really really well for my channel took almost a year to pop off. Just a reminder for everyone out there! Enjoy the journey, not just the destination of “success”.
Some tips may be repeated sometimes but, that means they are important. So thanks Roberto for doing this videos, repeating what we need to listen. Cheers
Absolutely agree!! One of my favorite quotes: "everything that needs to be said has already been said, but nobody was listening so it must be said again"
Thanks for the advice. I just started a youtube channel a little over a month ago. Everything you speak about is so true. Becoming a new youtube content creator is like growing from a newborn baby to a toddler. You have to crawl before you can walk. There is so much to learn from youtube. Finally, to me, the most important information I can give to new youtube creators (like myself) is to find something you enjoy talking about and have fun. Believe me, when you enjoy what you are talking about, the viewers will notice that as well, and some may become loyal subscribers.
There is so much value in understanding the community/genre you plan in joining. Understanding the common criticisms amongst those creators and also understand what they do well. While its important to always to just start, I think there needs to be a bit of planning prior. TITLES THUMBNAILS TRAFFIC AND TAGS (Or key words in description, just used tags for the memorability) are the 4 T's to a successful video.
just make and post 1,000,000,000,000.00 videos and after your done then you will have at least 100 views. that's all it takes each video only needs to be 2 minuets long so there it is go and do it.
Fantastic tips. Consistency is a tricky one, because when your channel is not growing, you feel demotivated and don't feel like making content, and that results in your channel not growing, and then you feel demotivated and... It can easily become a vicious circle.
It's super important for us to know our audience, make good quality content. Copyright is the one thing that will hurt the channel. I don't want to be like one of the bigger UA-camrs. I want to be my own kind of UA-camr. I do agree. We don't have the right to just ditch because growing takes long. I have posted maybe over 50 videos now and 16 live streams. I still have a long way to go even after 1 year of being into this. I am not discouraged and I look forward to this journey. It's a marathon not a sprint.
Roberto your information is Golden........the Top 3 things hurting UA-cam growth is lack of consistency, poor content/video quality, and Poor thumbnails & titles. Appreciate your knowledge
I started doing UA-cam in 2009 and made a lot of mistakes. Even got a channel deleted when I was just starting to make money. In May 2017 I made this channel and grew to 7k in six months because I learned from my mistakes. I’ve taken my subscribers to twitch and my podcast, made merch. Got a few brand deals. I had a slump that stomped my growth because my apartment got shot up and my brother was killed and the apartment threw away all the equipment I bought over the years. This is where the endurance came in, I used what I had to keep my channel going (IPhone 7). I was able to take a break and get my mental together this year while not making videos or streaming but still having that passive income coming in. I’ll come back better than ever now because I found a part time job making the same money as when I was a produce manager just working on weekends. I now have five days to record, edit, and perfect my quality and thumbnails. Also a lot of my success I because of watching Roberto. Thanks bro
I will hit my 2 year mark with my channel this November and I now have a little over 2.4K subs. I can see where I’ve improved greatly in that amount of time in terms of making my content more concise, better editing, and the addition of artistic flourishes. But…my growth has slowed down considerably recently and that has caused analysis paralysis and has made me less motivated to create. I also haven’t nailed the title and thumbnail game. I get many people telling me I should have more views and subs. I recently told my husband that I’ll be giving up my channel when I hit my 2 year mark, so at least I can say I gave it the “old college try” 😁. I just found your channel and this video has lots of great information in it. Thank you 🙏!
I would suggest looking at your best performing videos and dial into WHY the audience responded to that. Then dedicate yourself to replicating that in a consistent way. While also trying to refine and improve little by little
Your language skills are astonishing. Your thoughts flow in such an organized manner, you construct language to express them so quickly, and then you engage in the physical act of producing the words in such an error free manner that it's no surprise that you have so many views and subscribers. You compel the viewer to award you instant credibility. Most of us, myself included, could not carefully compose a script and then read it as well as you have done here. Amazing.
I am starting my UA-cam Channel in a couple weeks. Funny enough a lot of this information I considered when brainstorming my ideas for content. I think the one that really sparked my thoughts were making shareable content. When you make community based content more people will want to share. Keeping the audience engaged is important. Even asking viewers to leave a comment such as you did. That’s a way to keep viewers engaged. I love it!
I just want to thank all these creators making these helpful content. The new youtuber reality is harsh especially for people living with their inner demons but I'm glad these guys are here to help. Thank you!
Thanks for your tips! We all need to like and comment on the UA-camrs that help us. Just because they have big channels doesn’t mean they don’t need encouragement to continue. Keep up the good work!
I remember back in 2016 when I posted my first video. I couldn't even find it in search, using the exact title, let alone someone else seeing it! Wow, that was a reality check for me that this wasn't going to be as easy as I initially thought. 5 years later, I feel like I'm just starting to "get it." Now I realize it is possible for everyone to grow on UA-cam, but it really takes a lot of commitment to the learning process. At least that's been my experience. Great tips and reminders Roberto! Thank you.
Packaging the quality content properly really resonated with me today. We've recorded thousands of videos. Uploaded a few dozen - Only the ones we feel are the most enjoyable on our Travel Channel. But where we could improve a lot is our titles and thumbnails.
Preachhhhhh!!! I'm following this step by step and watching my stats and study them , thank you for this information, every video is a trial and error that I make to get better.
Editing on the computer always looks so daunting, I've thought about switching to a camera down the road but it looks much more difficult on a desktop. I'm super consistent, I've put out over 300 videos and I'm under 2k. Some of the information I put out is invaluable but I feel people just don't care about learning those self sufficiency skills... I don't make entertaining videos, in some videos I try to tell a story but most videos I'm teaching. I'm watching this video and I'm Introverted like you but maybe I can get closer to the camera and pump up my energy. I'll try that, some good points, thanks Roberto.
Ma'am you just earned a subscriber. This comment was really helpful.I'm trying to start a podcast hopefully within these next 4 months if all goes well. I've been listening to different podcasts/videos to help me pinpoint how I can do that
@@HerHealthyHome Thank you I appreciate that. I'm still im the research and development phase. I hope I'm able to make some quality content. I also hope I'm able to help some people
I think I’ve been doing “too much research.” I’m so scared of making too many mistakes that I’ve taken so many notes, constantly reevaluating my niche, writing scripts, creating timelines, building relationships with other creators within my niche and making plans as if I’ve already started my channel. When I say this, I mean building a team (editor, videography, marketing rep). Granted, they know I haven’t started yet but they are right there for when I need them. I just can’t start until I know I’m able to be consistent. I’m beyond dedicated but never feel ready. I know its 99% that I’m scared and 1% OCD. I'm going to get it together lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and many blessings to you!!!!
Hi Roberto! I was at your talk yesterday at Vidsummit. Thanks so much for the great presentation. If I see you around I will say hello today. I have watched quite a bit of your channel content and thanks so much for the presentation as well. I was hoping to ask you more about revenue streams for music and dance related channels as that is what I have here. It is not my own music that I promote on the channel but rather other artists, some I work with personally and others whose songs appear in the videos through the fact that I film social dance and cultural interactions. But would love to hear some thoughts on that. Keep up the good work.
I relate to many of these mistakes but a lack of consistency is my biggest downfall. I constantly rely on motivation instead of discipline. Right now I'm working hard and trying to put a schedule system in my life and work hard to follow through with it so i can keep making content as a habit and not out of motivation. Love all your videos, Roberto.
i love this guy, the best tip was the "being original and not replicating someones work" i admit copyrighting big youtubers videos even if i still modify it.
Brother, I really appreciate you. Right now, as a new content creator (9 months 42 subs), I am in a real slump. The channel has just stopped with viewers and subs. But this video has been encouraging. Thank you.
As someone who has been watching UA-cam videos for many years, one of my biggest pet peeves is long, drawn out intros and outtros ugh! So I’m really glad that you brought this up because it helps me to remember that as I get ready to launch my own UA-cam channel. Another huge pet peeve of mine is when a video has long, drawn out ADS in the middle of the video; ESPECIALLY when it’s completely unrelated to the content that I’m trying to watch! I’m very impressed with and appreciative of how you briefly and appropriately slipped in an ad that is directly related to this video’s content! I don’t remember ever seeing any other content creator doing this this smoothly and I LOVE IT! IMHO you’re the king of what to do right because you don’t sugarcoat anything and keep it real, while providing excellent content that is extremely helpful for us newbies ☺️ Before I started really paying close attention to your videos about content creation, I had started a “simple, no-frills (or editing) one-take” channel, thinking that I was presenting content that fit my channel’s theme and purpose; basically a vlog where I talked about life as a disabled person; no editing, no thumbnail (except for the generic one automatically placed of my dumb face talking on the video 😂), and not well planned or thought out titles 😬 So yeah, it flopped and I even moved all of my handful of embarrassingly bland videos to “private” and left a message in the “about” section how I was putting my channel on hold and would be basically starting it over again (rebranding it). It’s probably been more than a year since then and I haven’t even checked to see if my 10 subscribers (all peopleI know personally) are even still subscribed to it or not. I still want to restart the channel, but right now I’m working on creating content that’s music-based, but will include an element of storytelling that ties into the music, and don’t know if I should rebrand my existing channel around this new concept or start from scratch. I always appreciate when content creators ask for feedback from their viewers; I want to do this too so I can build my channel on the foundation of what my audience actually want to see. I’m building my concept based upon the feedback I’ve received over the years and want to do it better than I did on my first attempt at a channel, so I really appreciate your videos on what to do and what NOT to do here on UA-cam ☺️ Thank you!
I have heard a lot of this stuff before since I follow other channels but the one tidbit that really grabbed me was the one about not copying big channels. That is a huge huge temptation to me because I can be impatient, but slowly, I'm getting comfortable with the fact that this will take time and I don't need to rush.
I have yet to actually upload a video. The problem I struggle with is niches, # 5. So many ideas and no way to choose. Your channel overall has been such a help to keep me realistic yet motivated. How did you overcome the fear of doing the first video?
Hi Roberto. I first started watching your content when I was a copywriter at the company where I currently work. This was about 5 or so years ago and I was searching for advice on building a UA-cam countdown channel out of my company's blog content. I was transferred to another department after 2 years in that role so that never went anywhere, however I decided that I would try my hand at building my own UA-cam page in the craft space, specifically cardboard craft and paper art. I rediscovered your content about two or so weeks ago when you came up in suggested as I was watching a Vanessa Lau video. I have to say that your content is the most helpful, practical, and timely I have see thus far in the niche of growing a UA-cam channel. I am slowly making my way through the How To Start a UA-cam Channel playlist and it's just gem after gem. I truly appreciate the work you have done here and I appreciate all the no BS advice you share. Much love and blessings from Brooklyn, NY.
I felt the chasing the bigger youtubers and mindset statement. I went in having the biggest expectations with my channel and when those expectations didn’t happen I felt as though my channel would never grow or go anywhere. I realized my expectations was unrealistic and as a newbie coming in you have to put in the work, stay consistent and not get so down on yourself when you don’t have you the views or your not getting the subscribers. It’s about staying motivated and doing what you can and also working with what you have until you can afford to upgrade on things you need such as a camera and lighting. This was awesome. Thanks for this!!!
Beautifully said on #7 - you'll make the process that much harder for yourself (especially in the early stages) if you have the wrong mindset and get in your own way.
I’m growing and trying to find exactly what my viewers want to see but i love my little community and can’t wait for it to get bigger. I love it, thanks for the advice
Thanks for posting this, I found it to be very helpful! I especially appreciate the part of the video where you spoke about titles and thumbnails. I'll definitely try out this advice!
You're one of my biggest inspirations for starting my channel! Have not gotten a lot traction on my channel yet, but I will get there soon! Thanks for making great content my dude, helps us a lot!
#14 is a tip I've been doing on my New Channel... my short gaming animations on games like Halo are good because I get alot of old time fans of it plus the new game launching so younger fans... years later ppl still can watch them also and they will be funny and make sense still. Also it ties into Tip #15 because my avg shares on videos is around 20 per 1000 views which exploded some of my videos already helping me get 150 subs in 7 weeks since i started uploading. Thanks for all the tips ...keep it up bro
Man this guy brings it every time. 1 of the most helpful, value giving and real UA-cam "gurus" (i know this term is hated now but i couldn't think of a better word) on UA-cam.
Thanks good to hear. I used to make Videos with hundreds and thousands of clicks with AMVs but I rebranded my channel to gaming and unlisted my old content. Feels like starting from scratch again. You get barely any views. But now it starts to bounce up again and my recent Video is about to hit 200 views in a day.
@@RobertoBlake I feel this can grow and I have fun doing it. For me, representing myself on camera is a completely new experience and a big challenge. So I am practicing this as well. Thanks for your answer. Do you have videos on how to appear more confident and what helps you to not lose your train of thought while talking?
I set a day to go to the studio and film. On that day I can shoot as many as 6 videos. I'll edit them later, but this helps me with my #7 problem. I have the entire week to get ready to go film, notes, prep. So I'm usually in a good space by the time I turn on the camera. Now that I shoot at home I still do my Friday night sessions, but I also film through the week. Great suggestions, Roberto!
I have been making content on UA-cam since 2014 and I’ve had fun being a small youtuber. You can still get good views and see growth, but my problem was consistency. I kept stopping and starting over again and that really messed me up. But now I’m way better and getting better with uploading and understanding my analytics. I’m hoping to hit 10,000 subs by next year, currently close to 8K at the moment. Wish me luck! Thanks Roberto! Been watching you for years now.
Best tip: respect viewers time! although stop copying and having strong headlines and thumbnails are a close second and third. Thank you so much for your help. I don't have a channel yet, but you are helping me get ready.
Thanks for this it helps me a lot I am just starting out been uploading videos now for 2 months :) I love your Chanel it’s been a huge inspiration thanks for all you do
Salute to this video bro! I make positive hip hop content as well as give lectures to uplift the youth, but I can’t figure why I’m not growing! 💯 Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this! UA-cam gets lonely especially after loosing subscribers and not knowing who to talk to about it. I'm thankful for channels like yours that help me learn and improve
I do feel like I'm sacrificing creativity to only post about my well performing topic. I worry this attitude will cause me to leave the platform again.
The part about having a specific focus really relates to the situation going on with my channel. I grew to 3k+ subscribers doing videos over MBTI/16 Personalities, but over the past 7 months, since I launched my channel, I’ve almost completely burnt out. I’ve lost almost all passion for the subject as each video felt more and more like a chore to make. So I’ve entered my “experimental” phase, doing comedic and commentary-style videos (areas I’m more passionate about) to see how well my audience responds to them. I told them I would return to making MBTI videos when I felt that passion again. Just feeling lost right now and awful that I can’t deliver the content my audience subscribed for.
Roberto, new viewer here watching in Octobeer of 2021. I'm learning as much as I can in hopes of starting a channel soon, and for me, the channels I appreciate most and go back to are the ones that stay in their lane. I can tell from their titles what the content really will be, and I learn things from them all the time. I lose patience with people whose titles are click bait with nothing of quality to back them up and whose subjects are all over the map just so they can upload more frequently.
Getting the packaging of a video right is so important. We've switched up the title and thumbnail for videos that seemed to be dying and it's really made a difference. sometimes it takes a few tries before you land on something that resonates with your audience.
Sound advice! It can be so hard as a new tuber to think 🤔 man why am I not growing after 20 videos. I find taking my eyes off the numbers has been a good first step.
Seriously can’t believe I haven’t come across your channel. 💯 🔥. Thank you, still binging as your girl is feeling stuck on my channel and feel like I’ve watched every help video out there!! I can’t mail thumbnails to save my life. 😂❤️ so thank you brother.
I continue to struggle with making good thumbnails and I know it's significantly negatively affecting my channel. So true about engaging with your subscribers. I know I feel some kind of way when really small channels don't engage with me as a subscriber 😄. I also think that having a channel name that is easy to remember and find is huge. My channel growth defiinitely improved after I changed the name.
Quality is something I think about. I just moved to a new country for my business and the channel is moving with me. It marks a transition for sure and is bringing a lot of changes with it.
Whoa, Roberto, this was insanely helpful!! I really needed to hear that I shouldn’t have unrealistic expectations, and I loved that you shared the humble beginnings of the biggest UA-camrs. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much I struggle and feel alone in this journey sometimes. It gets frustrating to say the least. Do you think you can make more videos about thumbnails and titles in one with some tips to make catchy ones? That is my biggest struggle. Thank you for always creating something awesome for the audience to watch
Great tools! 👍 Thank you. I need the insights from time to time to make sure I am packaging my information appropriately for a very stressed, overwhelmed, and needy audience. I've learned over time that the psychological needs of the channels population is very important as well. If you are a mental health Channel like mine, I have to package content in a way that relieves that stress rather than adds to it with unstructured, confusing, overly lengthy, and dense content. All my audience wants is authenticity, honesty, and good quality.
Great video. Roberto, may I suggest using a little wider lens because the framing is too tight in this video. Zooming out a little bit will make the video better IMHO.
As a new youtuber, thank you for this video! Some very good ideas/suggestions. I also like that you lay things out plainly and simply - so many other UA-cam "guru" videos feel like a sales pitch or they are talking down to the viewer - "You must do this to succeed!!!" Liked and Subscribed!
So true about killing your darling. My channel is about product creation. Now I uploaded a video last week about should product creators be public speakers, I uploaded it and it bombed, I did a short video about public speaking yesterday and it bombed too. So I quickly unlisted them before they hurt my channel too badly. I had to kill my darlings. I figured I can recover from two less video, but I may confuse the algorithm if I start to upload something that is clearly not part of my niche for my channel. I have learned to not be emotionally attached to my content. If I have to unlist a video that could hurt my channel then I need to do that.
I have a diy channel for budget friendly home decor. I neighed down to mostly Dollar Tree products. I needed to hear all this. I have such a hard time staying consistent. I think it’s why I’m not growing. I wish someone could look at it and tell me what else I’m doing wrong. Ty for sharing you’ve helped me out so much
Your 'Mindset and Motivation' example is me, all the way. I needed to hear it. Because editing can be time consuming and demotivating. So, thank you for sharing your inside.🙏🏿

And once you make the videos, where do you share them to get the best results. I'm not expecting to go viral overnight, but I do want it to be somewhat measurable.
This is good!🎼
Thank you Roberto Blake!✌🏾✌🏻💓💯
I would listen to your videos all day. Really helpful. Can't believe this is free. You gave us gold. Depends only on each of us to do something smart or not. Grear, man. You deserve all the success because you give us the possibility of success. Last sentence here i started to talk like you .. ha ha haaa !
This was SUCH a great video for large and small UA-camrs. Thanks for sharing!
Yes
Yes. I haven’t seen him before
Hey man, I'm subscribed to you.
I been trying everything..and dont let me get started on subscribers
I started youtube last year and the mistakes you've mentioned are exactly what I've done. Now, I'm growing tremendously with over 2k+ subs and 200 watch hours away from monetization! The thing that helps me most is to not pay attention to numbers, Continue, take a step back and critique yourself, find your niche, be yourself and upload regularly will makes the journey so much fun and easier!
That’s so dope! Congrats!!!
That’s amazing! Congratulations 🥳🥰
My challenge is that being myself, to some viewers at least, is too boring. I’ve been told I need more pep and that I’m too dry. Do I keep doing what I’m doing or try to be more peppy?
Wow that’s awesome 👏🏽 I’m listening to this because I’m a small UA-cam with 8K subs and I’ve been doing this for years I feel like I should be way further 🙃
i started last year am still at 86 subs how can u help plz
Being respectful of time is so important! There is a creator I recently unsubbed from. Initially watched a few videos that I thought offered value, but then I started to see he could have taken 1/3 of the time he did and got the same points across. I always compliment your channel on this!
I agree so much with this!! Super long intros are usually what gets me to unsubscribe from a channel once I notice it’s a consistent pattern for that channel. I definitely make sure not to do that on mine.
So true!!
I've had this experience too. A couple of minutes of rambling here and there I can handle. But if a 20-minute video is 15 minutes of rambling then I unsubscribe.
It really matters
@@Mrs.LivingLikeJessica Exactly! Obviously people are typically trying to make money on UA-cam so I get they time counts but if you're getting crazy it, NOPE hahah
“You need to be indifferent to the difficulties of being a content creator.” Love this in a big way, really important.
It’s a bigger deal than people realize
I like what you said but what if there was a group that could make this happen would you want to know about it?
In my experience assisting UA-camrs in growing their Channels, the three most important things BY FAR that everybody fails to do is create captivating thumbnails/titles, pick a content niche that'll have high demand yet low competition, and make videos that will retain viewers for long watch sessions. If you do those three things you can easily hit 100K your first year and in rare cases even your first month.
Although as Roberto mentioned if you don't see immediate success it's not a big deal, hell it took me almost a decade to figure out what I was doing.
This is so encouraging! Hitting 100k in my first year is a big goal of mine. Got my first 3 videos up and the analytics are looking good! I've got 150+ videos under my belt from old channels in the past years so I feel I've got a good shot at making this work ☺️
Agreed, after a couple of years on UA-cam, I would say too those 3 key points are the most important to grow
My weakness is figuring out captivating titles but still learning how to get my thumbnails just right but i am better these days
Man I was like WHAT?!? That sounds impossible but if you have experience from doing other channels then yeah maybe it's possible. You have to be pretty lucky starting from scratch to pull that off. I've seen it happen but it seems more like the exception then the rule.
I like the #realtalk because for me, seeing other people in my niche surpass my numbers can be discouraging. Forcing myself to edit for 4-6 hours when I start to wonder if it will ever "work out for me" is discouraging. But you know what? That's part of the journey. Knowing that I feel this way sometimes, and it's not always a walk in the park will make it all the more rewarding when I succeed. And I believe that having that mindset sets me up for success long term.
Just gotta focus on your own content, head down and not let other people live in your head
Five minuet video is all it takes if you know where to start. What if there was a group that could help you get better numbers in days ?
#5 is something I've been thinking a lot about lately. Always appreciate your insights Roberto!
Thanks man. Hope you’re doing well! You’re welcome to come on the channel sometime!
Responding to comments is a big one! I've been on UA-cam for just over 2 years and am only approaching 10,000 subs. But I always respond to comments and I've gotten into great conversations and made an effort to help a lot of people. Now it's one of the things I love most about being a UA-camr!
#7 hit hard because it’s easy to feel like you’re not meant for something when really it’s about bossing up and showing up for yourself!
Wow great point about people chasing bigger UA-camrs and trying to copy their results without looking at methods, thought process, intent - the WHY. “Do YOUR best, don’t replicate THEIR best.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yep
Yeah, quality is very important… rn I’m focusing mostly on how to improve audio and video quality and how to become a better speaker. “The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.”
Practice tends to make progress
I struggled with demotivating myself especially when my videos weren’t getting the views I wanted, it can get discouraging. I’m SO glad I seen this video this was so helpful thank you!
It happens to the best of us
Good luck with your channel !
Good luck I’m going to subscribe and check out your channel 💕
It is real easy.......all you need to do is to watch every video on UA-cam and make a video just like it and then post it as quick as you can and then everyone will watch your videos.
Am glad I found your channel a few months now. You have helped my small home decor channel so much since am watching you and a few other creators. Everything you spoke about are strictly facts. All small youtubers have surely made a few of these mistakes. I did until i start watching and leaning from experienced creators
Just checked out your channel!! I love home decor and that’s often what my channel is about!! Just subscribed! You’re almost to 1k 🙌🏾
@@Mrs.LivingLikeJessica am glad you love home decor .thanks for supporting what u love
#996 👏🏽Congratulations on your 1000 in advance💃🏾 You GOT THIS! Your personality & your content soooo compliment each other👍🏽
What I love most about your videos is that you don't sugarcoat things, and deliver facts that might be difficult for some people to accept but ultimately helps them. Can't wait for your next video!
I try to be as realistic as possible
Roberto - you’re always there to talk sense into me when I’m feeling discouraged about my UA-cam progress 😂 thank you!
I’ve been on the platform since late 2017 but didn’t really get serious until 2019. I’ve been really feeling down lately because I was having some momentum then feel like, despite my videos improving lately… my progress has been down. Sometimes you gotta remember that the seed you plant today may take a while to blossom. Heck - 5 videos of mine that are doing really really well for my channel took almost a year to pop off.
Just a reminder for everyone out there! Enjoy the journey, not just the destination of “success”.
go and make 365 three minuets videos and then sit back and ride the wave.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Some tips may be repeated sometimes but, that means they are important. So thanks Roberto for doing this videos, repeating what we need to listen. Cheers
Absolutely agree!! One of my favorite quotes: "everything that needs to be said has already been said, but nobody was listening so it must be said again"
Sometimes just framing or different finally reaches someone the WAY they needed to hear it.
just make a three minuet video every day for a year and your channel will grow
Thanks for the advice. I just started a youtube channel a little over a month ago. Everything you speak about is so true. Becoming a new youtube content creator is like growing from a newborn baby to a toddler. You have to crawl before you can walk. There is so much to learn from youtube. Finally, to me, the most important information I can give to new youtube creators (like myself) is to find something you enjoy talking about and have fun. Believe me, when you enjoy what you are talking about, the viewers will notice that as well, and some may become loyal subscribers.
There is so much value in understanding the community/genre you plan in joining. Understanding the common criticisms amongst those creators and also understand what they do well. While its important to always to just start, I think there needs to be a bit of planning prior. TITLES THUMBNAILS TRAFFIC AND TAGS (Or key words in description, just used tags for the memorability) are the 4 T's to a successful video.
It’s overlooked by so many people
just make and post 1,000,000,000,000.00 videos and after your done then you will have at least 100 views. that's all it takes each video only needs to be 2 minuets long so there it is go and do it.
Fantastic tips. Consistency is a tricky one, because when your channel is not growing, you feel demotivated and don't feel like making content, and that results in your channel not growing, and then you feel demotivated and... It can easily become a vicious circle.
It's super important for us to know our audience, make good quality content. Copyright is the one thing that will hurt the channel. I don't want to be like one of the bigger UA-camrs. I want to be my own kind of UA-camr. I do agree. We don't have the right to just ditch because growing takes long. I have posted maybe over 50 videos now and 16 live streams. I still have a long way to go even after 1 year of being into this. I am not discouraged and I look forward to this journey. It's a marathon not a sprint.
Roberto your information is Golden........the Top 3 things hurting UA-cam growth is lack of consistency, poor content/video quality, and Poor thumbnails & titles. Appreciate your knowledge
Knowing that is half the battle
@@RobertoBlake absolutely brother....It makes a tremendous difference in reaching all of my fitness minded fans and potential clients 👍
I started doing UA-cam in 2009 and made a lot of mistakes. Even got a channel deleted when I was just starting to make money. In May 2017 I made this channel and grew to 7k in six months because I learned from my mistakes. I’ve taken my subscribers to twitch and my podcast, made merch. Got a few brand deals. I had a slump that stomped my growth because my apartment got shot up and my brother was killed and the apartment threw away all the equipment I bought over the years. This is where the endurance came in, I used what I had to keep my channel going (IPhone 7). I was able to take a break and get my mental together this year while not making videos or streaming but still having that passive income coming in. I’ll come back better than ever now because I found a part time job making the same money as when I was a produce manager just working on weekends. I now have five days to record, edit, and perfect my quality and thumbnails. Also a lot of my success I because of watching Roberto. Thanks bro
Omg first of all I'm sorry about what happened to your brother and you. Please accept my condolences. Stay strong
making more videos will get you there just make ten thousand videos and post them and you will get more views.
I will hit my 2 year mark with my channel this November and I now have a little over 2.4K subs. I can see where I’ve improved greatly in that amount of time in terms of making my content more concise, better editing, and the addition of artistic flourishes. But…my growth has slowed down considerably recently and that has caused analysis paralysis and has made me less motivated to create. I also haven’t nailed the title and thumbnail game. I get many people telling me I should have more views and subs. I recently told my husband that I’ll be giving up my channel when I hit my 2 year mark, so at least I can say I gave it the “old college try” 😁. I just found your channel and this video has lots of great information in it. Thank you 🙏!
I would suggest looking at your best performing videos and dial into WHY the audience responded to that. Then dedicate yourself to replicating that in a consistent way. While also trying to refine and improve little by little
@@RobertoBlake 🙏
@@RobertoBlake great advice
Been putting up content but my growth/ views has been slow! Thanks for sharing these tips. You are awesome 😎
Your growth is slow beacuse your channel is 😴
Your language skills are astonishing. Your thoughts flow in such an organized manner, you construct language to express them so quickly, and then you engage in the physical act of producing the words in such an error free manner that it's no surprise that you have so many views and subscribers. You compel the viewer to award you instant credibility. Most of us, myself included, could not carefully compose a script and then read it as well as you have done here. Amazing.
Most of it I feel has been a result of practice and patience.
I am starting my UA-cam Channel in a couple weeks. Funny enough a lot of this information I considered when brainstorming my ideas for content.
I think the one that really sparked my thoughts were making shareable content. When you make community based content more people will want to share. Keeping the audience engaged is important. Even asking viewers to leave a comment such as you did. That’s a way to keep viewers engaged. I love it!
Consistency is my favorite.
Also totally being indifferent to the struggle and ignore lack of success just to get through it is great advice too. Just do it!
I just want to thank all these creators making these helpful content. The new youtuber reality is harsh especially for people living with their inner demons but I'm glad these guys are here to help. Thank you!
Appreciate you. Hang in there.
Thanks for your tips! We all need to like and comment on the UA-camrs that help us. Just because they have big channels doesn’t mean they don’t need encouragement to continue. Keep up the good work!
I remember back in 2016 when I posted my first video. I couldn't even find it in search, using the exact title, let alone someone else seeing it! Wow, that was a reality check for me that this wasn't going to be as easy as I initially thought. 5 years later, I feel like I'm just starting to "get it." Now I realize it is possible for everyone to grow on UA-cam, but it really takes a lot of commitment to the learning process. At least that's been my experience. Great tips and reminders Roberto! Thank you.
Packaging the quality content properly really resonated with me today.
We've recorded thousands of videos.
Uploaded a few dozen - Only the ones we feel are the most enjoyable on our Travel Channel.
But where we could improve a lot is our titles and thumbnails.
Preachhhhhh!!! I'm following this step by step and watching my stats and study them , thank you for this information, every video is a trial and error that I make to get better.
Editing on the computer always looks so daunting, I've thought about switching to a camera down the road but it looks much more difficult on a desktop. I'm super consistent, I've put out over 300 videos and I'm under 2k. Some of the information I put out is invaluable but I feel people just don't care about learning those self sufficiency skills... I don't make entertaining videos, in some videos I try to tell a story but most videos I'm teaching. I'm watching this video and I'm Introverted like you but maybe I can get closer to the camera and pump up my energy. I'll try that, some good points, thanks Roberto.
Ma'am you just earned a subscriber. This comment was really helpful.I'm trying to start a podcast hopefully within these next 4 months if all goes well. I've been listening to different podcasts/videos to help me pinpoint how I can do that
@@dallashoward24 wow thank you I appreciate it. 🙏🏾 Best wishes to you on your podcast. You got this! 💪🏾
@@HerHealthyHome Thank you I appreciate that. I'm still im the research and development phase. I hope I'm able to make some quality content. I also hope I'm able to help some people
I think I’ve been doing “too much research.” I’m so scared of making too many mistakes that I’ve taken so many notes, constantly reevaluating my niche, writing scripts, creating timelines, building relationships with other creators within my niche and making plans as if I’ve already started my channel. When I say this, I mean building a team (editor, videography, marketing rep). Granted, they know I haven’t started yet but they are right there for when I need them. I just can’t start until I know I’m able to be consistent. I’m beyond dedicated but never feel ready. I know its 99% that I’m scared and 1% OCD. I'm going to get it together lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and many blessings to you!!!!
Hi Roberto! I was at your talk yesterday at Vidsummit. Thanks so much for the great presentation. If I see you around I will say hello today. I have watched quite a bit of your channel content and thanks so much for the presentation as well. I was hoping to ask you more about revenue streams for music and dance related channels as that is what I have here. It is not my own music that I promote on the channel but rather other artists, some I work with personally and others whose songs appear in the videos through the fact that I film social dance and cultural interactions. But would love to hear some thoughts on that. Keep up the good work.
I relate to many of these mistakes but a lack of consistency is my biggest downfall. I constantly rely on motivation instead of discipline. Right now I'm working hard and trying to put a schedule system in my life and work hard to follow through with it so i can keep making content as a habit and not out of motivation. Love all your videos, Roberto.
i love this guy, the best tip was the "being original and not replicating someones work" i admit copyrighting big youtubers videos even if i still modify it.
Brother, I really appreciate you. Right now, as a new content creator (9 months 42 subs), I am in a real slump. The channel has just stopped with viewers and subs. But this video has been encouraging. Thank you.
As someone who has been watching UA-cam videos for many years, one of my biggest pet peeves is long, drawn out intros and outtros ugh!
So I’m really glad that you brought this up because it helps me to remember that as I get ready to launch my own UA-cam channel.
Another huge pet peeve of mine is when a video has long, drawn out ADS in the middle of the video; ESPECIALLY when it’s completely unrelated to the content that I’m trying to watch!
I’m very impressed with and appreciative of how you briefly and appropriately slipped in an ad that is directly related to this video’s content! I don’t remember ever seeing any other content creator doing this this smoothly and I LOVE IT!
IMHO you’re the king of what to do right because you don’t sugarcoat anything and keep it real, while providing excellent content that is extremely helpful for us newbies ☺️
Before I started really paying close attention to your videos about content creation, I had started a “simple, no-frills (or editing) one-take” channel, thinking that I was presenting content that fit my channel’s theme and purpose; basically a vlog where I talked about life as a disabled person; no editing, no thumbnail (except for the generic one automatically placed of my dumb face talking on the video 😂), and not well planned or thought out titles 😬
So yeah, it flopped and I even moved all of my handful of embarrassingly bland videos to “private” and left a message in the “about” section how I was putting my channel on hold and would be basically starting it over again (rebranding it).
It’s probably been more than a year since then and I haven’t even checked to see if my 10 subscribers (all peopleI know personally) are even still subscribed to it or not.
I still want to restart the channel, but right now I’m working on creating content that’s music-based, but will include an element of storytelling that ties into the music, and don’t know if I should rebrand my existing channel around this new concept or start from scratch.
I always appreciate when content creators ask for feedback from their viewers; I want to do this too so I can build my channel on the foundation of what my audience actually want to see.
I’m building my concept based upon the feedback I’ve received over the years and want to do it better than I did on my first attempt at a channel, so I really appreciate your videos on what to do and what NOT to do here on UA-cam ☺️
Thank you!
I have heard a lot of this stuff before since I follow other channels but the one tidbit that really grabbed me was the one about not copying big channels. That is a huge huge temptation to me because I can be impatient, but slowly, I'm getting comfortable with the fact that this will take time and I don't need to rush.
Every point was valid, but the one about the thumbnails and titles was the best advice for me. Thanks for this video
I have yet to actually upload a video. The problem I struggle with is niches, # 5. So many ideas and no way to choose. Your channel overall has been such a help to keep me realistic yet motivated. How did you overcome the fear of doing the first video?
Listen to big-time youtubers first videos
My favorite tip was longevity of content. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom.
Hi Roberto. I first started watching your content when I was a copywriter at the company where I currently work. This was about 5 or so years ago and I was searching for advice on building a UA-cam countdown channel out of my company's blog content. I was transferred to another department after 2 years in that role so that never went anywhere, however I decided that I would try my hand at building my own UA-cam page in the craft space, specifically cardboard craft and paper art. I rediscovered your content about two or so weeks ago when you came up in suggested as I was watching a Vanessa Lau video. I have to say that your content is the most helpful, practical, and timely I have see thus far in the niche of growing a UA-cam channel. I am slowly making my way through the How To Start a UA-cam Channel playlist and it's just gem after gem. I truly appreciate the work you have done here and I appreciate all the no BS advice you share. Much love and blessings from Brooklyn, NY.
Appreciate you Mosi! 🙏🏾
@@RobertoBlake ✊🏾
Thanks for sharing this info. I started a small channel about health wellness and it has been slow growing
I felt the chasing the bigger youtubers and mindset statement. I went in having the biggest expectations with my channel and when those expectations didn’t happen I felt as though my channel would never grow or go anywhere. I realized my expectations was unrealistic and as a newbie coming in you have to put in the work, stay consistent and not get so down on yourself when you don’t have you the views or your not getting the subscribers. It’s about staying motivated and doing what you can and also working with what you have until you can afford to upgrade on things you need such as a camera and lighting. This was awesome. Thanks for this!!!
Beautifully said on #7 - you'll make the process that much harder for yourself (especially in the early stages) if you have the wrong mindset and get in your own way.
Indeed
Thanks for the positive message and encouragement!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m growing and trying to find exactly what my viewers want to see but i love my little community and can’t wait for it to get bigger. I love it, thanks for the advice
As Per Always, Excellent Tips. I remember watching through a ton of your videos before I even created my UA-cam channel 😊
Making evergreen content that can be enjoyed year after year. Sometimes it's hard to see the tree past the forest. Thank you Roberto
Thanks for posting this, I found it to be very helpful! I especially appreciate the part of the video where you spoke about titles and thumbnails. I'll definitely try out this advice!
You're one of my biggest inspirations for starting my channel! Have not gotten a lot traction on my channel yet, but I will get there soon! Thanks for making great content my dude, helps us a lot!
Keep pushing
@@RobertoBlake Will do! les get it
Great video, I like that you started with the mindset first, giving examples of other creators too
I will work more on my UA-cam quality, thank you for the tip , appreciate 🙏
#14 is a tip I've been doing on my New Channel... my short gaming animations on games like Halo are good because I get alot of old time fans of it plus the new game launching so younger fans... years later ppl still can watch them also and they will be funny and make sense still. Also it ties into Tip #15 because my avg shares on videos is around 20 per 1000 views which exploded some of my videos already helping me get 150 subs in 7 weeks since i started uploading. Thanks for all the tips ...keep it up bro
Still experiencing that "hard time". Thanks for these tips.
+1 on that shareable content. One of my most successful videos blew up because a viewer shared it in a forum.
Making something so good that others want to share it is one of the pillars of organic growth
Man this guy brings it every time. 1 of the most helpful, value giving and real UA-cam "gurus" (i know this term is hated now but i couldn't think of a better word) on UA-cam.
Appreciate you
@@RobertoBlake likewise... you are encouraging and showing a lot of people the way. I share your content with all my creator friends.
I made 100 crappy videos Roberto and I'M STILL GOING 🔥🔥🔥
Still failing
@@BlackBiggot Improving!
Thanks good to hear. I used to make Videos with hundreds and thousands of clicks with AMVs but I rebranded my channel to gaming and unlisted my old content. Feels like starting from scratch again. You get barely any views. But now it starts to bounce up again and my recent Video is about to hit 200 views in a day.
Just keep pushing snd yes it’s like starting from scratch but if you’re more into this content just make it the best you can
@@RobertoBlake I feel this can grow and I have fun doing it. For me, representing myself on camera is a completely new experience and a big challenge. So I am practicing this as well. Thanks for your answer. Do you have videos on how to appear more confident and what helps you to not lose your train of thought while talking?
I set a day to go to the studio and film. On that day I can shoot as many as 6 videos. I'll edit them later, but this helps me with my #7 problem. I have the entire week to get ready to go film, notes, prep. So I'm usually in a good space by the time I turn on the camera. Now that I shoot at home I still do my Friday night sessions, but I also film through the week. Great suggestions, Roberto!
I have been making content on UA-cam since 2014 and I’ve had fun being a small youtuber. You can still get good views and see growth, but my problem was consistency. I kept stopping and starting over again and that really messed me up. But now I’m way better and getting better with uploading and understanding my analytics. I’m hoping to hit 10,000 subs by next year, currently close to 8K at the moment. Wish me luck! Thanks Roberto! Been watching you for years now.
Consistency is bigger than people give it credit for
Best tip: respect viewers time! although stop copying and having strong headlines and thumbnails are a close second and third. Thank you so much for your help. I don't have a channel yet, but you are helping me get ready.
Appreciate you
I’m still trying to learn to make thumbnails. I’ll get better I just have to keep hacking at it!
Thanks for this it helps me a lot I am just starting out been uploading videos now for 2 months :) I love your Chanel it’s been a huge inspiration thanks for all you do
Salute to this video bro! I make positive hip hop content as well as give lectures to uplift the youth, but I can’t figure why I’m not growing! 💯
Thank you!
This video might provide some answers
Thanks for the tips, maybe there's a chance my channel will grow the next time I avoid those mistakes!! Keep it Up!!
Thanks for sharing this! UA-cam gets lonely especially after loosing subscribers and not knowing who to talk to about it. I'm thankful for channels like yours that help me learn and improve
I do feel like I'm sacrificing creativity to only post about my well performing topic. I worry this attitude will cause me to leave the platform again.
This was so timely for me as a small UA-cam content creator. @Roberto Blake always dropping GEMS
Appreciate you
@@RobertoBlake I appreciate your craft.
Thanks for always showing us the young cats the right way to do things
The part about having a specific focus really relates to the situation going on with my channel. I grew to 3k+ subscribers doing videos over MBTI/16 Personalities, but over the past 7 months, since I launched my channel, I’ve almost completely burnt out. I’ve lost almost all passion for the subject as each video felt more and more like a chore to make. So I’ve entered my “experimental” phase, doing comedic and commentary-style videos (areas I’m more passionate about) to see how well my audience responds to them. I told them I would return to making MBTI videos when I felt that passion again. Just feeling lost right now and awful that I can’t deliver the content my audience subscribed for.
Make what you wanna make cause you’ll find an audience regardless
Roberto, new viewer here watching in Octobeer of 2021. I'm learning as much as I can in hopes of starting a channel soon, and for me, the channels I appreciate most and go back to are the ones that stay in their lane. I can tell from their titles what the content really will be, and I learn things from them all the time. I lose patience with people whose titles are click bait with nothing of quality to back them up and whose subjects are all over the map just so they can upload more frequently.
Getting the packaging of a video right is so important. We've switched up the title and thumbnail for videos that seemed to be dying and it's really made a difference. sometimes it takes a few tries before you land on something that resonates with your audience.
Sound advice! It can be so hard as a new tuber to think 🤔 man why am I not growing after 20 videos. I find taking my eyes off the numbers has been a good first step.
Seriously can’t believe I haven’t come across your channel. 💯 🔥. Thank you, still binging as your girl is feeling stuck on my channel and feel like I’ve watched every help video out there!! I can’t mail thumbnails to save my life. 😂❤️ so thank you brother.
Consider outsourcing the thumbnails
@@RobertoBlake thank you for taking the time to reply. Still binging your content. Feeling blessed I found you.
I continue to struggle with making good thumbnails and I know it's significantly negatively affecting my channel. So true about engaging with your subscribers. I know I feel some kind of way when really small channels don't engage with me as a subscriber 😄. I also think that having a channel name that is easy to remember and find is huge. My channel growth defiinitely improved after I changed the name.
It all adds up in the end
Mighty valuable information as per always. I've been watching this channel for 4 years now.
He's knows what he's talking about
All of the contents are important & relevant for us! Nick sent us & we’ve subscribed to your channel. 😊Thanks for the amazing tips!
Make evergreen and shareable content. I will keep these tips in mind. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom!
Nice one! Thanks for sharing your tips Roberto!
Quality is something I think about. I just moved to a new country for my business and the channel is moving with me. It marks a transition for sure and is bringing a lot of changes with it.
Make Shareable Content.....Great Tip💯
Glad you thought so!
Whoa, Roberto, this was insanely helpful!! I really needed to hear that I shouldn’t have unrealistic expectations, and I loved that you shared the humble beginnings of the biggest UA-camrs. Thank you!!
This has given me a reset, thank you
Glad to hear it
This video is such a great video for all youtubers. Thank you for the lessons and will make sure its shared.
Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much I struggle and feel alone in this journey sometimes. It gets frustrating to say the least. Do you think you can make more videos about thumbnails and titles in one with some tips to make catchy ones? That is my biggest struggle. Thank you for always creating something awesome for the audience to watch
Great tools! 👍 Thank you. I need the insights from time to time to make sure I am packaging my information appropriately for a very stressed, overwhelmed, and needy audience. I've learned over time that the psychological needs of the channels population is very important as well. If you are a mental health Channel like mine, I have to package content in a way that relieves that stress rather than adds to it with unstructured, confusing, overly lengthy, and dense content. All my audience wants is authenticity, honesty, and good quality.
I really appreciate all of the information you share. It is so practical for micro-influencers like myself.
Definitely consistency is my biggest struggle and powering through the low funks during edits!
Thank you Roberto this was soooo important!!! I deeply appreciate you.❤️
Great video. Roberto, may I suggest using a little wider lens because the framing is too tight in this video. Zooming out a little bit will make the video better IMHO.
Thanks for sharing Roberto, I definitely struggle with niche down and creating engaging thumbnails and titles.
It can really matter. Just keep working at it. Even I have to work at it sometimes
As a new youtuber, thank you for this video! Some very good ideas/suggestions. I also like that you lay things out plainly and simply - so many other UA-cam "guru" videos feel like a sales pitch or they are talking down to the viewer - "You must do this to succeed!!!" Liked and Subscribed!
So true about killing your darling. My channel is about product creation. Now I uploaded a video last week about should product creators be public speakers, I uploaded it and it bombed, I did a short video about public speaking yesterday and it bombed too. So I quickly unlisted them before they hurt my channel too badly. I had to kill my darlings. I figured I can recover from two less video, but I may confuse the algorithm if I start to upload something that is clearly not part of my niche for my channel.
I have learned to not be emotionally attached to my content. If I have to unlist a video that could hurt my channel then I need to do that.
This was so educational. Thank you Roberto. ❤
What a brilliant video! Every new youtuber should watch this, REAL ADVICE!!! 🔥
Thanks bro! 🥳
I have a diy channel for budget friendly home decor. I neighed down to mostly Dollar Tree products. I needed to hear all this. I have such a hard time staying consistent. I think it’s why I’m not growing. I wish someone could look at it and tell me what else I’m doing wrong. Ty for sharing you’ve helped me out so much
Consistency is key
Your 'Mindset and Motivation' example is me, all the way. I needed to hear it. Because editing can be time consuming and demotivating.
So, thank you for sharing your inside.🙏🏿
