Marcus. A video you released about a year ago changed the trajectory of my UA-cam journey and as a result, my life. I can’t find the video now, but you challenged us to look at our analytics and find a video that had over 500 impressions in the last 7 days, but still had a low CTR. I noticed a video I had released about a year and a half earlier was getting ~1500 impressions but had a CTR of around 3%. In the most insane moment of clarity I ran to my laptop and changed the title and thumbnail to make it a little more eye-catching. In November of 2023 this video had about 3500 views and my channel had a little over 900 subscribers. In November 2024, that same video has now been viewed 270,000 times and my channel surpassed 3,200 subscribers this month, and now I get paid to make videos online. I’ll never forget watching your video that day. Thank you for everything.
Awesome video bro. I am small UA-camr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Famester didn’t have any negative impact on your channel ? I’ve thought about trying it to maybe boost me into the algorithm but I’ve heard it can kill your channel as well
I'm on 630 subscribers and trying to hit 1000 at the end of the year. I find working with the algorithm is better than against it. UA-cam wants us to do well, so let's keep grinding, and we will achieve our dream
It's hard for small channels, but with the help of the community, genuine effort, and quality content, the audience and subs will come. Just persevere! 😎
What great info. Ok, here I go, started my channel this week. What a great and supportive community your channel has. Inspiring. Third video coming in hot tomorrow! 🎉
Small channels stay determined and never give up. Remember why you began and strive for success in each video you make. Although you may not get the results you wanted, consistency will eventually lead to good results.
Small youtuber here with 161 sub and 2 year of background, just want to say thanks for all your tips because i started to become consistent in views with your tips...hope to reach 500 sub soon, i dont think this year but sure the next! Thanks again marcus for all you tips! One of your fan from italy!
This actually really helped more than I thought I just started again 2 months ago and I’m determined to get up there I wanna get to 1000 plus by next year but rn my goal is 50 so i definitely will integrate this in my videos
@@Renuzkitchen of course! and we need to keep our expectations realistic as well we can't all go "viral" all of a sudden it takes hard work, dedications, patience and perseverance as well! ☺

I recently started a UA-cam channel, and I believe I have good Shorts, but I’m still not getting any views. I’m not sure why, but I won’t give up. I’m committed to posting daily because consistency is key. To everyone who has just started, I wish you the best of luck-never give up!
So the algorithm loves and focuses on key words... I'll give it a try. I'm at 98 subscribers, and 1 of my shorts has 10k views, some of the others I have only have about 900 viwes but with better video editing. Give it a try guys, I believe in you!!!! XOXO LUV YALL
Good things are nice but bad things can KILL you! Why do you always have these crazy quotes I was never expecting in your videos lol. Well I know why cause I’ve been watching. But still gets me every time
Hi Marcus, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INFORMATION. I have watched many of your videos. ALGORITHM HATES both of my long videos and shorts WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CHANNEL ?
I'm on 106 subscribers and trying to hit 1000 at the of the year. I find working with the algorithm is better than against it. UA-cam wants us to do well, so let's keep grinding, and will achieve our dream
Hey man, I used a lot of your tips and I think they helped, I got 4k+ subs now and hit 4k watch hours last week (and now it’s already at 10k). Wanted to say thanks! Also, do you have any videos on recommendations how to handle monetisation? Like, should I put ads at the start or do they turn people off? What about mid roll ads? What type of ads? Allow all or block some? There are so many options.
You can hit all the right points, but if the topic is not highly searched or does not have interest it won’t get views or be pushed. I noticed this recently. My last video hit every point, high retention, view duration, and click through rate but the views are lower compared to my others that have a lot lower retention ect, but it’s because of the topic. Upon searching, the topic isn’t as searched, and the views are lower. In comparison to my other videos that has higher views and low retention ect, they have more people searching and the recommendations are better because it’s topics people are more interested in. So I come to learn, topic matters. If you make a video on a topic that is known to get views or has high interest, if you hit all the right points, you’ll be recommended. If you do the same but get a lower view duration, you may not get recommended as much, but the views still will be better than just winging it. I learned this recently lmao 😂. You can hit everything right but if the topic is not so good. It’ll just burn out. Where as you could have a video that’s the opposite, but still get more views just because people are more interested. So the first thing before anything, research the topic or idea. 😅
I'm a new creator... I'm at 56 subs already...I hope I reach 100 by the end of this month. Good luck to everyone else trying ❤I hope you achieve what you're after
@@Marcus-Jones you look better without it, I say this with a staunch history of heterosexuality...you're a good looking Rooster, show off your locks while you still have them.
I Tried It For 4 Years. My Channel With Only 141 subs Got Deleted. Now I Bounced Stronger,But Still My Dream Isn't Real. When I Was Young, My Favorite UA-camr Which Is Called ,,Vanimy'' Got 3 Strikes And His Channel Got Deleted. He's Been Always My Motivation For YT. I Would Be Happy If I Reach 200 Subscribers At The End Of November
