Tapping into current events can help new people discover you even if you are not initially very competitive on the topic and concept. My recent Microsoft Surface Studio video is a good example. 55K views in just a few days because people were curios and the video was a hands on review and there were only a few of those out since its a new product. Videos that have exotic topics and thumbnails also get clicked. But Evergreen reliable SEO driven videos can help building you slowly over time and has worked very well for many creators.
Desh Videsh but I do think you should stay sub to Roberto Blake he is one of my top fav youtubers to watch if you need help with your channel just like video creators
Guys I just hit 50 subs today and I couldn't be happier right now! It's important to celebrate the small victories to keep you motivated. See you at 10,000,000:)
I've doubled my channel size over the last few months, which I am very proud of! My tip to other channels is to remember to be happy. If you're enjoying your channel and doing it for yourself, it will make you make more videos and higher quality videos and people will be able to tell that you genuinely love the topic you are speaking about.
This is a problem I was having with my first channel. I would make content to make it, not because I enjoyed it. But now that I am developing my new channel about cars, which I have a deep passion for, I will have fun making the videos and enjoy every second of it. It also helps you stay focused because you want to make the best video possible
I like the fact that Tim got sound bites from small and large channels for this video. Everyone, not matter how big, seems to hit a wall and needs to pivot to get momentum again. Some good tips in here
Thanks so much for this video it was great to see so many different views from so many successful UA-camrs. I'll have to watch it a couple more times so I can take everything in!
Imitate then Originate...find a channel style to imitate, then create your own content in that style. That simple method got me 25,000 subscribers in 11 months.
Ok, this is going to come across as harsh, but here goes: be a person capable of holding other's attention; if you're never the center of attention, unless you're doing animation or something where you're not front-and-center, you're probably not going to do well on UA-cam and that's ok. Maybe your talent's writing, you're a kickass videographer, or editor- do the thing that the people in your life have consistently recognized you for. -Nerdarchist Ryan
10:40 - Balancing between discoverable content and community content, YES! I was looking for a way to describe the need for both naturally valuable/searchable stuff, and the regular entertaining stuff. This list is just great too!
Consistency is the key. I have 13k subscribers and I never skipped a week without posting video, it might look not many but I love my subs and I upload 2-3 times a week.
Im almost at 100 subs and its insane how I got 60 subs in 4 days, it doesent sound like much but its unbelievable for such a small channel to get so many subs in so little time.
What I love so much about this channel is how we get such detailed, specific advice. Some things are repeated, naturally, but I've never watched one of these videos and not learned something new. ♡
Wow there is so much wisdom in these! So impressed. Thanks for sharing about creating discoverable content vs. community videos! That concept is so valuable.
Tim, over the past month I've consumed hundreds of videos on the topic of UA-cam content creation and this 13 minutes is hands-down the most valuable and concise that I have seen! Although I have heard most of this before, it is so good to hear it all in one compact setting. Thanks for the video. I will probably go back to this one multiple times to make sure I'm staying on top of things.
Grateful for your help as always and thanks for putting this one together!! I've been able to improve my content a lot from your tips (and the tips from others in the comments), which has helped my little channel grow organically in the past few months in particular!!
Video Creators It could have been an hour long & I would still love it. Hearing advice from those who are successful is like free gold. I'm already making changes to my channel and video. Thank you so much!
I started my channel back in May and I'm currently at about 370. Slow but steady growth I guess. I absolutely LOVE to make videos. I enjoy coming up with concepts and ideas, bringing them to life and I even enjoy the editing process. I guess I said all of that to say that since I enjoy it so much, I'm going to continue to do it for the long haul and keep having fun along the way. I have evolved a bit by monitoring analytics to understand what I'm doing that people enjoy and trying to do more of that. But also, trying to come up with creative ways to do and say the same thing. Be patient, HAVE FUN, get feedback and just be you.
I'm a new channel, this helped me a lot. I'm already changing my content because I don't want to be restricted to comic reviews and explore other things too.
Carlos Noriega Are you doing it for the money? (I'm not asking is that all you're doing it for more so just are you getting paid yet? if that's not too personal a question to ask.)
Definitely work on your Value Proposition. We have a bunch of videos on our channel about how to define one. That'll help you hone in on your specialty and reach your target audience. - Catherine, vcTV
Awesome video man - If there's one thing that I've learned about UA-cam is that it takes repetition, the more I re-watch your videos or watch you doing another video on a similar topic before, I find I suck a tiny little nugget of information in. Massively appreciate your work bro keep it coming!
Great video as always Tim! I think my main problem is being consistent with constant uploads. I have pretty good community content and discover-able content. Matter of fact I have made viral content, but my content went viral on other platforms not UA-cam! I need to learn how to be come discover-able on UA-cam any tips? Tim could you do a video on this? I think it would be helpful to UA-camrs who've had more notoriety on other platforms.
This has been extremely helpful. I come back to this video often to see if i'm checking off all of these points. Very much appreciated and I wish success to all!! Much love and respect
I do almost all of this (minus the paid ad) and my views tanked recently and my growth is there, but slower. Just focusing on content and hoping to get passed this lul.
More videos. You only have 19 videos. Publish! Publish! Publish! And make videos 10+ minutes long that are engaging. I too had a dip with the recent algorithm change but I am going to push through it
Train Tsar Fun I have hundreds of videos actually. I post twice per week and I belong to a lot of communities. my videos used to bring in a lot more views than they do recently. my thought is that the new algorythm has something to do with it.
That is right. I track channels that are similar to mine and most of them tanked in early October. Now I am analyzing the ones that didn't tank. I actually was ready to quit my full time job in September then - Boom! It fell like a rock. On the live stream Tim did a week or so ago the Bounce Patrol lady mentioned the algorithm change. I knew there was because I have been tracking things for 4 years and it was the first dip in October. When a dip (or even a rise) is not from a holiday or a seasonal occurrence it sometimes means there was an algorithm change. I do not want to work for the algorithm! But if you don't make the content the algorithm likes you cannot grow. The algorithm really wants to make it beneficial for real people so keep making the good content and you'll get back on track!
I feel your pain +The Good News Channel. I have been trying to get there for 4 years. Almost was there this year. Tough making videos and working. Plus being on call. I try to schedule videos out when I can. But I understand it is hard to find the time. Maybe I should of focused on making good videos - lol
great video and all people made valid points. big thing i was waiting for one of them to say was brand you channel. branding means having nice youtube banner having a particular look and logo that people will know and say "oh hey this is chiba's video" because of the branding make all thumbnails Similar with same fonts and or logos while still implementing the topic of the video. for example i use big bright orange font word text colors as thumbnails with dragonball z characters. (depends) while in the backround ill have a picture of what the video represents. be creative.
Tim, I just started my channel and post some of my videos on a forum. When I embed the video on the forum I get lots of likes and comments in the forum, but those viewers are not participating on the UA-cam platform. If I post a link to a video or playlist on the forum, it does not get the attention that an embeded video does. What can I do to help the people engaging with my videos on the forum platform come over to the UA-cam platform?
One thing that helped me earlier this YT was growing one of my social media accounts. For me that was Instagram. I've gained 10k+ followers this yr. Naturally more ppl visited my YT channel after I posted snippets on my YT vids on there.
Minsooky that has helped me grow as well. I use all of my social media accounts to funnel people to UA-cam. I post thumbnails and kind of like video trailers or snippets to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I usually do it 3 ways to get the most coverage. 1 post thumbnail 2 trailer/snippet 3 just me taking from my phone saying "go over to the channel and check out the new video"
***** i usually just multitask a lot. i usually update my social media when i'm sitting down to eat or traveling somewhere (not WHEN i'm driving though lol).
Adam TV i think it is because you upload in your own language and english people watch it and don't understand it and that can be a turn off for them so maybe add some subtitles!!!
You won't grow a channel that is not in english and that's that. No matter how many watch you, all of your country won't. To get subscribers you need to teach that kid english or people will just watch him few minutes because: "Aww, look how cute he is" and then forget the channel. There's no money in it for you if you continue this path, the kid will grow, views will only come from earlier videos...
I do have a channel since 11months and I uploaded about 90 videos and I have just 2.3k subs and my channel growth is very poor and I don't know why my growth is very less what is the exact structure or plan that i should do and by the way I have a tech channel and I am also new to your channel
Only tip I can really share is to link up your channel with the social media that you use the most and understand the best. Once I started pushing my channel through that social media website, letting my followers know more often about newest uploads and such, I started growing more regularly.
This was definitely perfect and exactly things I need to hear. It's really hard to come up with new content that focus on bringing in new viewers - but I'm totally up for the challenge :)
Thank you so much For this video. QUESTION: In the beggining stages when you dont have that many subscriber or views,How do you prevent someone from Stealing your channel name,Not someone trying to imitate you,But someone who is just trying to steal your Brand name and present it as their own,and make their original video,but making it look like your the one who copied you. UA-cam doesnt have any rules for that. Thanks
you can't really prevent that. you just have to keep uploading and you'll soon start getting noticed and end up ontop when people search your name.. You'll be ontop instead of those who have your name
Mabro Moose oh how did you know i subscribed? Is there a tool for that?lol i thought my subscripition was private And coz As A sincere Tim scmoyer Fan [Who cant spell his name] , i didnt sub so you feel that you have to too,You reallly dont have to sub to me,i subbed because i liked your content. Thanks Though. Sorry if me subscribing to you made you feel that you have to subscribe to me. have a good day,And especiialy since all the drama thats been going on about the election. Seriously bruh i hope you have a happy and not stressfull day.
I feel I know how to grow so fast. YOU NEED TO BE FROM USA. Nowdays I see any channel suddenly grow I check where they are from and suprisely I find that they are from USA.
Ana Valentin it is also depends on channel type. Vlogging is always hard to get subscribers. But in my channel area, you can not imagine how fast USA channel grow. I have basic view and sub everyday if even I don't upload video but I know so many people from USA that grow crazy just few month. 😔😔
Thanks for the awesome videos, Tim! I'm working on getting a set video release schedule in, focusing on specific videos, and then getting a channel trailer done! Slow growth so far but it's a work in progress!
Thanks for posting this video Tim. It provided me with some good direction in getting my channel to grow. My channel's focus is on judo, jiu-jitsu and the grappling sports, and there is a lot of competition in this niche. My channel's grown to a bit over 6,300 subscribers and I think that's based on the fact that my viewers know they can rely on the information provided on my videos. My goal is to get more views per video and if anyone has any ideas, I am more than willing to learn. Again, thanks for what you do Tim.
As always great tips. Learning some good tips from the UA-cam Pro's. My channel is slowly growing but I can see how these tips will help in the long run. UA-cam is like a Marathon, steadily add quality content and your channel will eventually rise in the rankings.
I have been strugling for a while. 33 subs in 3 months its too little by looking all the comments in here... I think i may lack of searchable content, that may be the clue. Thanks a lot, Tim!!
Hi Tim! So I would love to pick your brain about something: I have been a content creator for over a year now, with a healthy growth of viewers and subscribers. My channel is a gaming channel that focuses on spreading positivity and kindness within the gaming community. My main demographic for my channel is younger (between 11-18). As soon as school started up in late August my views had a significant decrease. I was averaging about 400-1000 views per video, and now I'm lucky if I get 40-50 views. I notice also that I still get a lot of viewers during my weekly live streams, yet they don't watch my videos anymore. Do you have any advice to help me captivate the interest of my viewers again in regards to my videos? Do you think they need reminding or do you think maybe I should think of changing my formula for my channel? Any and all advice would be so much appreciated! Thank you so much, Tim. Absolutely cherish your wisdom and videos. - BuddhaCat
Tim any advice for someone who has a specialty channel? I do videos on stage and theatrical lighting. this includes reviews, tutorials, and basics of stage lighting. I haven't seen too many channels that go into my field.
I've been blessed to reach over 800 subs. It has taken me a few years. I still am building more content and connecting with my audience. I love the idea of epic thumbnails. But the thing I've seen that worked was connecting with your passion and running with it. Taking action especially when you are scared to do it..
It's amazing how these guys and girls are willing to help out. All of your advices are very helpful. Thank you Tim for bringing all of this together. I'll try to incorporate them in my channel.
I structure English lessons, write all of the material myself, design tens of thumbnails from scratch (mostly as slides for the lesson per se), and finally, I put the video lesson together without any assistance - constantly working on my audio and video editing skills. My channel is growing pretty slowly, but I guess it's only natural because I have been working on it for 2-3 weeks only! That said, I feel lucky that I finally have spare time to work on a project I'm passionate about. Wish me luck! :)
Thank you so much for all your help! YOU have given me SOOOO much information and help in starting my channel! It's brand new and has SOOO much work but I learn more from you everyday!

I do DIY projects. I dont have may subscribers, but what helped me the most is getting the word out on other platforms. E.g. for every project I do I always write an Instructable article. There are people who like diy stuff and therefore they are more likely to chek out your channel. Other great way of bringing traffic to my videos is via facebook groups. I found a lot of knife/axe enthusiasts there and they naturaly wanted to see the process of making a beautiful knife so they clicked on my video. Good luck with your channels!
Great tips! I like categorizing your content in "discoverable" and "community" content! That's exactly what I was thinking of but couldn't quite put it into words. Doing a self audit of your channel is great, as well as maybe getting another influencer in your niche giving you some feedback. I did my first 2 channel collabs and they have been so beneficial. Especially since I'm trying to "reactivate" my viewers, having new traffic come to my channel from active members from another channel helps your channel grow naturally :)
I find it hard to not be repetitive when it comes to certain types of channels but somehow I have over 20k views with only 41 subscribers. I'm thankful and I'll keep hammering on.
Wow this has a lot of great advice from a lot of different perspectives. Thanks for compiling all of these pieces of info. Distinguishing between discoverable and community videos is a great one. I'm definitely going to try to focus more on the latter now. Thanks.
what are examples of discoverable content? my channel is mainly mukbang (eating shows)/cooking but occasionally I have done a music video reaction that got over 2K views... what else is there?
Mixing up content is a hard one as if you have a small subscriber base - it's hard to know what would work best on your channel appose to singular viewer opinion...
I really appreciate this video. I need to try and spark some new life into my channel! I also think if you can find a presence on another forum somewhere that can help to drive traffic. Find people who like what you do somewhere outside of UA-cam and bring them here.
I followed this channel from I just started UA-cam about "how to get 100 subscribers" 5 months ago and now I have 3000 subscribers! Thank you Tim!
Congrats on your 3,000 subs! I don' t know what we would do without Tim. He has been a lifesaver for us :)
Shevon Salmon congratulations for 3000
very cool! congrats!
That is truly incredible man!
Shevon, that's such a great compliment. I'm really glad we can help! - Catherine, vcTV

Conner Cox we just hit 100 subs and are pumped.... it was a slow grow but growing non the less. Keep at it!
10,000,000 will come soon enough haha
Conner Cox eliza bates FlamesOfMagic Please Help! On The Road To 2k. #SupportSmallUA-camrs Comment "Done" Then I Will Subscribe To You!
I've doubled my channel size over the last few months, which I am very proud of! My tip to other channels is to remember to be happy. If you're enjoying your channel and doing it for yourself, it will make you make more videos and higher quality videos and people will be able to tell that you genuinely love the topic you are speaking about.
Great advice!
Thanks for your suggestion, it is also working with me.

Great video Tim. Love you channel. Cheers!
MaSTAR Media oh hey MaStar btw your channel is awesome
Thanks for this video, Tim. I love your channel - all of your videos are so helpful! Keep doing what you do!
That was helpful. I liked the way you had different people each giving their best idea. It's definitely very challenging to get the eyeballs on YT.
Thanks so much for this video it was great to see so many different views from so many successful UA-camrs. I'll have to watch it a couple more times so I can take everything in!
Imitate then Originate...find a channel style to imitate, then create your own content in that style. That simple method got me 25,000 subscribers in 11 months.

You clearly don't understand imitate then ORIGINATE. Find a channel STYLE, then create your own content.
just subscribed to ur channel, we are big Potter fans in our house. Will be checking your videos out soon!
EXCELLENT IDEA!
EXCELLENT IDEA!
I might only have 12 subs but i love them all
DisrobingClock great attitude to have :)
ChibaGaming JP thanks :)
Attitude is 100%
Gained 50 in one week. Nice. They know you love them. :D

pigandro that's awesome.
pigandro that's great! I only have 58 subs after 2 months but grateful for every one!
pigandro first 100 subs was hard work for us but we are still learning
My channel is around 6 months old and i just have 72 subscribers
What I love so much about this channel is how we get such detailed, specific advice. Some things are repeated, naturally, but I've never watched one of these videos and not learned something new. ♡

Such great tips! So glad you posted this one, because I was starting to think that I had watched all of your videos already! XD
Thanks for this!
Great video full of good tips! Thanks Tim. Great job editing too.

12-minute-long video? Yes please. :D
haha Yeah, this one is longer than normal. Although my video on Monday was about this same length. :) -Tim
Chipio Industries Entertainment can be 3 hours long... I'm gonna watch it 👍😉
Video Creators It could have been an hour long & I would still love it. Hearing advice from those who are successful is like free gold.
I'm already making changes to my channel and video. Thank you so much!
very long video
That's really kind of you! Thank you. - Catherine, vcTV

Definitely work on your Value Proposition. We have a bunch of videos on our channel about how to define one. That'll help you hone in on your specialty and reach your target audience. - Catherine, vcTV
Great advice!
A lot of great ideas! So small right now, I feel like just getting more content out will be a big step for me.
i have just started this channel thank you for the tips Tim
Thx Tim. Your channel has really helped our channel grow over the last one year.
I hope everyone is having a great day:) From a small cahnnel x
You too!
You too!
no doubt

I'm not really having a great day.
Awesome video man - If there's one thing that I've learned about UA-cam is that it takes repetition, the more I re-watch your videos or watch you doing another video on a similar topic before, I find I suck a tiny little nugget of information in. Massively appreciate your work bro keep it coming!

Thanks for watching and I'm glad to hear about your channel growth! - Catherine, vcTV
I really needed this video...thanks making it!!!
What are your thoughts on my logo?
Looks good to me.... Easy to spot... Better than mine lol
Max Maker very good
Max Maker it's easy to read and it's bright so it catches the eye
Stands out for sure!
Thank you! Good to know!
This has to be the most amazing and useful video to date! You have really developed a awesome community Tim!
I do almost all of this (minus the paid ad) and my views tanked recently and my growth is there, but slower. Just focusing on content and hoping to get passed this lul.
More videos. You only have 19 videos. Publish! Publish! Publish! And make videos 10+ minutes long that are engaging. I too had a dip with the recent algorithm change but I am going to push through it
That was The Good News with 19 - Hashtag has over 100 BTW

Loving your vids Tim, every day is a school day on UA-cam but your vids help to speed up the learning process.
Thank you 👍
great video and all people made valid points. big thing i was waiting for one of them to say was brand you channel.
branding means having nice youtube banner having a particular look and logo that people will know and say "oh hey this is chiba's video" because of the branding make all thumbnails Similar with same fonts and or logos while still implementing the topic of the video. for example i use big bright orange font word text colors as thumbnails with dragonball z characters. (depends) while in the backround ill have a picture of what the video represents. be creative.
Tim, I just started my channel and post some of my videos on a forum. When I embed the video on the forum I get lots of likes and comments in the forum, but those viewers are not participating on the UA-cam platform. If I post a link to a video or playlist on the forum, it does not get the attention that an embeded video does. What can I do to help the people engaging with my videos on the forum platform come over to the UA-cam platform?
One thing that helped me earlier this YT was growing one of my social media accounts. For me that was Instagram. I've gained 10k+ followers this yr. Naturally more ppl visited my YT channel after I posted snippets on my YT vids on there.
Minsooky I do this to.
Specifically, how did you use Instragram to help you?
Minsooky that has helped me grow as well. I use all of my social media accounts to funnel people to UA-cam. I post thumbnails and kind of like video trailers or snippets to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I usually do it 3 ways to get the most coverage. 1 post thumbnail 2 trailer/snippet 3 just me taking from my phone saying "go over to the channel and check out the new video"
I definitely love this! I haven't really been using my instagram as a way to funnel people to my youtube channel!
***** i usually just multitask a lot. i usually update my social media when i'm sitting down to eat or traveling somewhere (not WHEN i'm driving though lol).
I believe I found niche in my home country and I'm getting a lot of views, but not so many subscribers. Any tips?
Adam TV i think it is because you upload in your own language and english people watch it and don't understand it and that can be a turn off for them so maybe add some subtitles!!!
False, I have 89% of views coming from my home country.
Adam TV oh hmm wait lemme check your channel again
You won't grow a channel that is not in english and that's that. No matter how many watch you, all of your country won't. To get subscribers you need to teach that kid english or people will just watch him few minutes because: "Aww, look how cute he is" and then forget the channel. There's no money in it for you if you continue this path, the kid will grow, views will only come from earlier videos...
uogiusj thats not true
Great tips. Thanks for this one too.
Each person I meet in the hallway and tells me a tip at this conference has been a great help! That's what this feels like, it's honest as hell
I do have a channel since 11months and I uploaded about 90 videos and I have just 2.3k subs and my channel growth is very poor and I don't know why my growth is very less what is the exact structure or plan that i should do and by the way I have a tech channel and I am also new to your channel
Sai Nithin Have you been getting paid yet?
Sai Nithin you gotta get on new stuff early in tech
Armaan LaVette no not i have not even completed the 100$ to claim 😭
Dude, you're still killin it compared to 99.99% of ppl on YT so don't quit. quitting is easy..
Sai Nithin I started my channel 6.5 years ago and just now hit 3K subs. You're doing good!
I went from 50 subs in a few months following your tips to 6000 and rising thanks Tim
I need to make some discoverable content. Some great advice!
Going Nowhere Last Right same here. I feel like I've made lots of community but not discoverable
Thank you for watching! - Catherine, vcTV
Only tip I can really share is to link up your channel with the social media that you use the most and understand the best. Once I started pushing my channel through that social media website, letting my followers know more often about newest uploads and such, I started growing more regularly.
Excelente canal siempre aprendo cosas nuevas aquí. Y me ayuda mucho a subir mi propio canal. Peace!
This was definitely perfect and exactly things I need to hear. It's really hard to come up with new content that focus on bringing in new viewers - but I'm totally up for the challenge :)
I miss class like crazy!!!
YANA I like your videos.
Its Ekcho can u check me out too?
We miss having you! :( - Catherine, vcTV
Thank you for this video, I have learned so much in the last few months.
Thank you so much For this video.
QUESTION: In the beggining stages when you dont have that many subscriber or views,How do you prevent someone from Stealing your channel name,Not someone trying to imitate you,But someone who is just trying to steal your Brand name and present it as their own,and make their original video,but making it look like your the one who copied you. UA-cam doesnt have any rules for that. Thanks
you can't really prevent that. you just have to keep uploading and you'll soon start getting noticed and end up ontop when people search your name.. You'll be ontop instead of those who have your name
Mabro Moose Thank You for replying. Best of luck with your channel .See you at the top.xd
Thanks alot for subscribing I sub back to help out. See you at the top aswell hahaha
Mabro Moose oh how did you know i subscribed? Is there a tool for that?lol i thought my subscripition was private
And coz As A sincere Tim scmoyer Fan [Who cant spell his name] , i didnt sub so you feel that you have to too,You reallly dont have to sub to me,i subbed because i liked your content. Thanks Though. Sorry if me subscribing to you made you feel that you have to subscribe to me. have a good day,And especiialy since all the drama thats been going on about the election. Seriously bruh i hope you have a happy and not stressfull day.
I received an email saying you subscribed
Thanks alot!
Can you cover the topic of motovlogging. I will be starting my motovlogging channel soon. It will be great help if i get some of your suggestions.
Rishi Tiwari 👍🏼👍🏼
I feel I know how to grow so fast.
YOU NEED TO BE FROM USA.
Nowdays I see any channel suddenly grow I check where they are from and suprisely I find that they are from USA.
Im from pakistan and i think thats why im not growing
What Im from the U.S that isnt true I feel like British UA-camrs are growing in popularity lol
Ana Valentin it is also depends on channel type. Vlogging is always hard to get subscribers. But in my channel area, you can not imagine how fast USA channel grow. I have basic view and sub everyday if even I don't upload video but I know so many people from USA that grow crazy just few month. 😔😔
.
Yeah I see that too, maybe youtube promotes videos from USA because I think like 30 % viewers are from USA...
Thanks for the awesome videos, Tim! I'm working on getting a set video release schedule in, focusing on specific videos, and then getting a channel trailer done! Slow growth so far but it's a work in progress!
What do you think about my new logo?
The logo is from Fiverr.
Feels busy and crowded for a small circle on my phone... but as a logo itself, it is nice.
Thanks for posting this video Tim. It provided me with some good direction in getting my channel to grow. My channel's focus is on judo, jiu-jitsu and the grappling sports, and there is a lot of competition in this niche. My channel's grown to a bit over 6,300 subscribers and I think that's based on the fact that my viewers know they can rely on the information provided on my videos. My goal is to get more views per video and if anyone has any ideas, I am more than willing to learn. Again, thanks for what you do Tim.
This was great! Thank you!
You've helped me understand my channel better. Thx and keep em coming!
Thank you for sharing great advice!
As always great tips. Learning some good tips from the UA-cam Pro's. My channel is slowly growing but I can see how these tips will help in the long run. UA-cam is like a Marathon, steadily add quality content and your channel will eventually rise in the rankings.
I have been strugling for a while. 33 subs in 3 months its too little by looking all the comments in here... I think i may lack of searchable content, that may be the clue. Thanks a lot, Tim!!
Thanks for all the great content, I have started recently implementing this tactics and they seemed to be working for me so far, thanks very much.
Hi Tim! So I would love to pick your brain about something: I have been a content creator for over a year now, with a healthy growth of viewers and subscribers. My channel is a gaming channel that focuses on spreading positivity and kindness within the gaming community. My main demographic for my channel is younger (between 11-18). As soon as school started up in late August my views had a significant decrease. I was averaging about 400-1000 views per video, and now I'm lucky if I get 40-50 views. I notice also that I still get a lot of viewers during my weekly live streams, yet they don't watch my videos anymore. Do you have any advice to help me captivate the interest of my viewers again in regards to my videos? Do you think they need reminding or do you think maybe I should think of changing my formula for my channel? Any and all advice would be so much appreciated! Thank you so much, Tim. Absolutely cherish your wisdom and videos. - BuddhaCat
Tim any advice for someone who has a specialty channel? I do videos on stage and theatrical lighting. this includes reviews, tutorials, and basics of stage lighting. I haven't seen too many channels that go into my field.
I've been blessed to reach over 800 subs. It has taken me a few years. I still am building more content and connecting with my audience. I love the idea of epic thumbnails.
But the thing I've seen that worked was connecting with your passion and running with it. Taking action especially when you are scared to do it..
I've been stuck just around 1900 for a bit. I've been doing new things here and there and I think I need to go back to the basics again.
It's amazing how these guys and girls are willing to help out. All of your advices are very helpful. Thank you Tim for bringing all of this together. I'll try to incorporate them in my channel.
Love this channel. It helps us so much as we begin our UA-cam journey :)
Thank you! We're glad to have you! - Catherine, vcTV
I structure English lessons, write all of the material myself, design tens of thumbnails from scratch (mostly as slides for the lesson per se), and finally, I put the video lesson together without any assistance - constantly working on my audio and video editing skills. My channel is growing pretty slowly, but I guess it's only natural because I have been working on it for 2-3 weeks only! That said, I feel lucky that I finally have spare time to work on a project I'm passionate about. Wish me luck! :)
tim you're giving so much value i love this can't wait until saturday!
About to start, all the advice sounds great, but Tim's really on another level. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for all your help! YOU have given me SOOOO much information and help in starting my channel! It's brand new and has SOOO much work but I learn more from you everyday!
I do DIY projects. I dont have may subscribers, but what helped me the most is getting the word out on other platforms. E.g. for every project I do I always write an Instructable article. There are people who like diy stuff and therefore they are more likely to chek out your channel. Other great way of bringing traffic to my videos is via facebook groups. I found a lot of knife/axe enthusiasts there and they naturaly wanted to see the process of making a beautiful knife so they clicked on my video. Good luck with your channels!
Thanks for the advices Tim ! Just starting out ! Need to find a way to put my message out there. Good luck to you all and let's keep up the hustle !
Great tips! I like categorizing your content in "discoverable" and "community" content! That's exactly what I was thinking of but couldn't quite put it into words. Doing a self audit of your channel is great, as well as maybe getting another influencer in your niche giving you some feedback. I did my first 2 channel collabs and they have been so beneficial. Especially since I'm trying to "reactivate" my viewers, having new traffic come to my channel from active members from another channel helps your channel grow naturally :)
I find it hard to not be repetitive when it comes to certain types of channels but somehow I have over 20k views with only 41 subscribers. I'm thankful and I'll keep hammering on.
Thank you for all the help and inspiration. I been following your advice and ideas, they do work. Working hard over here to grow as you have!
I really appreciate all the thoughts from different UA-cam experts. Very insightful and helpful. My channel is growing day by day.
Great information as always Tim, putting it to work now.
Great information Tim! That's definitely the road that I'm taking. See you at the top!
Wow this has a lot of great advice from a lot of different perspectives. Thanks for compiling all of these pieces of info.
Distinguishing between discoverable and community videos is a great one. I'm definitely going to try to focus more on the latter now. Thanks.
what are examples of discoverable content? my channel is mainly mukbang (eating shows)/cooking but occasionally I have done a music video reaction that got over 2K views... what else is there?
no matter how good you think your content get, always be working to make it better
Another great video with great advice. Thanks Tim!
Awesome, this really helps a lot! Thanks Tim!
thanks Tim! all I want is to connect with others that have "invisible" illnesses and help spread awareness!!
Thanks for all your tip videos man. Your part to do with how fast my growth has been! Appreciate your content.
Mixing up content is a hard one as if you have a small subscriber base - it's hard to know what would work best on your channel appose to singular viewer opinion...
I needed this Thank You Tim and friends Muchlove you all Inspired me in every way possible
I really appreciate this video. I need to try and spark some new life into my channel! I also think if you can find a presence on another forum somewhere that can help to drive traffic. Find people who like what you do somewhere outside of UA-cam and bring them here.
Really loved this video! It was so fun seeing so many people and their ideas, the pace was good, and it was so helpful and informative
Great tips from everyone. I always learn something when talking to other creators. Thanks for doing this! - Christina
Tip from Greg Jarboe 5:26 has the most POWER which anyone can do.. Awesome frikin insights all around. Great one Tim!
Hey, Tim. Great information. I have about 3K subs, but my videos don't get very many views. Not sure what's going on. Thanks for what you do.
