I Noticed When I Started In 2021 Then Worked Over a Year Just Buliding My Channel I gained nearly 1,000 Subscribers And 1.6M Impressions Which is really good actually I Just have to say it's hard when starting from Scratch but you'll enjoy the hardships of putting in hours of work into it. To anyone I suggest you to do not give up because it is going to get better trust me, we all got this keep grinding no matter what is going to get better. I pray for the New ones that is starting today should have an overall success. 🙏🏾
I checked your channel and here is a tip that worked for me. Try using your own voice. From my experience its kept my viewers more engaged, at least on shorts. Edit-----> Even if your voice seems squeaky don't worry, people want the content so they wont pay attention to your voice as much as your words
When I first started out my channel a few years back, I tried promoting one of my videos, but all that did was mess up the algorithm for my videos and not promote it to the right people. It took a few years for it to fix itself. Did I get quick views and a few hundred subs, yes, BUT, like in this video, it screwed up the watch time and wasn’t worth it. So from experience, I absolutely agree with you. DO NOT USE ANY PROMOTIONAL FEATURES from UA-cam themselves, Google, etc. While my intention was to get my videos in front of more people, all it did was more harm than good and take me twice as long to get out of the hole I made for myself. So take my experience as a lesson. Hope this helps new content creators. Good luck everyone 💖
Finally at 700 after lots of work, wishing that all the othersmall channels hard work pays off!!! Build your communities, youve got this! Let's goooo!!!
I was about to use those secondary methods so that I can grow my channel and make some money through it and end of watching this video.I totally agree with you about not using the UA-cam promotion feature. I’ve seen channels grow rapidly but then fizzle out just as quickly. Organic growth seems to be the way to go for long-term success. Thanks for the insightful advice
I agree with lots of stuff you said but I've used the promotion feature and have got genuine people comment on my content saying how enjoyable and funny it was and they subscribed. I also don't put my video on as skipable ads I put it on the homepage/search bar so people can choose to watch rather than being forced as I think this is better👍🔥
I used this promo feature and it definitely boosted my overall channel views and subs. I don't have time to hustle and post my stuff in random groups and other websites... so it kinda does that for me. I was at 400 subs at the beginning of the year (after being on for 5 years) and now I'm at almost 25k. Only 4k of those were from paid, and though my longform is still low in views, my live have tripled on average... I’m still a tiny channel, but yeah People do stick around after the promos (or maybe it helps the natural boost)… Maybe not a TON of people, but they definitely do. I wouldn't say it's a waste of money. It’s probably similar to any other advertising you might do on another social media platform
There's also a phenomenon where having a certain number of subs makes you seem trustworthy and reliable, hitting that number can help kick-start growth
@@maki.wabiker compared to before? I would get single digits. Remember. I am comparing to my previous activity, not necessarily other accounts and 20k+ of those are organic, only about 4k are from the promo. But as I mentioned, long form are not performing well, but my livestreams are (comparatively) and That’s the route I am focusing on now anyway.
If you read this. I love you! Keep going, keep creating, and ultimately? Keep being you. Theirs no one in this world like you, and that’s what makes us all unique as individuals. Regardless of backgrounds, opinions, skin colour, we all have a lot to give to this world. So if you took the time to read this? Stay humble, keep hustling, and you’ll get to where you want to be. That’s all we can do, is try. I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey, love to all of you creators out there ❤🌎
I currently have 22 subscribers. Despite of that, I still continue to upload and not giving up. Thank you to my 22 subscribers. I hope it will grow in the long run 😊
Awesome video thanks. I tried the Promotions thing. You can actually tell UA-cam what countries to market your video in. India is on there by default i assume because there is a lot large English speaking part of the population but you can deselect it. I just keep USA and Canada on. I've only promoted 3 videos and they have all been videos that have been getting above average views on my channel. I figured play the hot hand and roll with what the algo is already pushing. Results are Meh. In terms of view and sub growth it's more or less the same. maybe a slight up tick in views but it's not making any significant noticeable changes. It's taken me several years to grow the channel to 14k subs and my advice to anybody out there is just keep working at it. Slow and steady. Shortcuts don't work.
Organic growth is the best thing you can do if you want a loyal following that gathers. You can try to get other people to view your channel, but if they don't like it, why even bother? This is why I even tell my close friends not to subscribe, because people who won't bother watching even though their intent wasn't meant to harm your channel actually ends up harming your channel. Retention times are key and trends are important, as sad as it may seem if your niche is hardly known to anyone. Cheers, and keep on fighting!
I kind of had the same thing with TikTok, doing a Follow for Follow when I was young(er) and stupid(er) and it just messed my account up. Nobody was watching my stuff, nobody interacted because nobody was interested. Like people have said before, 100 loyal followers > 1000 randos.
There are a lot of strategies in YT, I opened my channel a couple of months ago, still struggling to get new subs and still enjoying the process. I'll try to keep it up hopefully without burning out 😊
This is from and small content creator with only 20 subs as of when i'm commenting: Thank you. I hope other small youtubers like me will achieve thier dream one day
@Just-Daily-Anime-News if your into anime i would recommend trying to do anime recaps with small jokes inbetween explaining the story of the anime/manga, if your not confident enough to use your own voice use a ai text to speech. this will probably boost your channel if you use the right titles and thumbnails. i wish you best of luck!
I've been on UA-cam for two months now, and I notice progress daily. To all the small UA-camrs out there: stay positive, keep pushing, and remember, we can do this!
Feeling disheartened. I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded that I didn’t give up
VidIQ, your content is super helpful for new creators. I'm so appreciative of all the advice you give and definitely binge your content. Truth be told, I'm not really trying to grow my channel for monetization at this time, I actually started it so i could have a full understanding of the ins and outs of YT so I can help my 10yo daughter grow her channel. She's really passionate about drawing and wants to use her channel to document her improvement, and to get exposure. Anyway, love your work, and appreciate you 👊
I started a youtube channel yesterday. i thought it will be this fast to get subscribers and views, but no. We gotta work on it. Praying for those small UA-camrs like me! 🙏🤝☺️
Good luck! You got this! You also might want to check these videos: ua-cam.com/video/r1xv4Nvh-6w/v-deo.htmlsi=kPFVoL5n_Vzg_Gc0 ua-cam.com/video/A0DegpwfIco/v-deo.htmlsi=MWgTMtB7-qqCbEPn ua-cam.com/video/IR1NGI9Q334/v-deo.htmlsi=-UVHVdc_nZwQyV3T
So, this means that the algorithm actually recommended or suggested most of our videos to new audiences? Those who don't even know who we are. This is brilliant. No wonder I got so many new channels suggested to me, and those channels I found are interesting. Is a good suggestion.
We had to learn this the hard way. We paid for promo, albeit we didn't pay much, but it still didn't help our channel. We started getting views after we stopped doing promo and just spent more time fine tuning our intro
Yep, I'm sticking in the only proven way to grow your youtube channel = do it naturally. Pick the niche. Give cool contents. Provide helpful info, or the entertainment that viewers want. Grow a community. It's be hard work and consume long time, but it worths a lot.
Most people buy channels to fast track their way to monetization. They purchase channels that have already met 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch time hours so that they qualify for the YPP. Thereafter they rebuild the channel with their own content.
We are small channel doing vlogs, just last week we did a test with this promo. After 4 days our subs went from 163 to 368. Like 50 of them coming from promo but I feel it is okay because others are looking at our videos and actually subscribing from the videos and not just ads
I currently have 8 subscribers. Despite of that, I still continue to upload and not giving up. Thank you to my 8 subscribers. I hope it will grow in the long run!
Promotion via YT isnt necessarily "evil" or "bad"... dont complain about bots from India - simply do some research where your target audience is located and avoid running the ads in countries that make no sense or a known botters (India is leading this by far) - pick the 5 best suited countries IN ADVANCE and run a low-cost weekly ad then check the results and optimize for the next run. I run an AI music production channel and with this strategy YT promotion helped me grow a larger userbase for sure. It "put me on the map". Its a matter to use the tool step-by-step while reasearching and monitoring, just throwing money at it and paying for bots in India would never give you good results, no matter the company you picked to run your ads.
Shorts get a lot of views, but thats also why you wont earn much from them even after hitting millions of views For eg, just for monetization you need 10m shorts views
Oh yeah, I’m not using the promotion feature. I saw another guy make a video about it for his channel, when he promoted one of his videos using the feature. Yeah it was clear that the feature is a bit iffy. Also off topic, I’m finally starting to update my thumbnail quality and I’d say it’s very good compared to before, so I’m happy with that, plus it looks to have gotten a bit more impressions
Definitely should change the thumbnail & title on this to identify its about using promotions because there was good info in here and its disguised as a same ol' new channel growth video
Subscribers does not = views, I'm at 1035subs and 3200 hrs?!? Been hard at it for 2+yrs. Keep grinding y'all and always do your best even if you don't meet the deadline!! 💯
Also that's interesting about Indian subscribers. I have a song that blew up called "Naked for You" which, despite the admittedly clickbaity title, is a song about being emotionally open and vulnerable. Its massively popular with Indian males 65+. I'd like to think its because they appreciate a good power ballad but who knows...?
Not throwing shade at all but I've seen some Channels with a LOT of anomalous stats in terms of their views and subs versus how many videos they have and how long they've been around. Perhaps they did crack their audience metrics and it's genuine but it just seems off to me at times. And I don't mean that as sour grapes or that I'm jealous. It just seems odd...
I threw $150 at another channel to get me from 400 to over a 1000 subs, still crushed my watch hour goal and got monetized (the subs I got from the promo did count towards my monetization goal, even though UA-cam said they wouldn't). I'm still plugging along just fine and nothing burned down or broke. Every channel is different.
Started doing my content like month ago and it doesnt seems i would get any push in views/subscribers. Sometimes i dont get any views but sometimes i do get. Any tips?
I was gonna say I have noticed people coming on to my twitch for a bit but then pop off then I keep getting the more views then I get the subscribers it's like they do not subscribe right away they go away then come back it's like they are coming back just to see if they still find it interesting on different Twitch streams not just one which I think is one of the best ways for someone to decide
Good luck to everyone doing UA-cam!!🎉

Subscribers does not = views, I'm at 1035subs and 3200 hrs?!? Been hard at it for 2+yrs. Keep grinding y'all and always do your best even if you don't meet the deadline!! 💯
you are low on hours, i have 7k hours almost
@@GabrielMasamune yeah I know, but still keep posting
@Just-Daily-Anime-News shorts build subs, while long form builds time. I must have way more shorts than long.
I'm still trying to improve. Good luck everyone
UA-cam is not a one night success. To all my fellow creators - PUSH THROUGH YOUR DREAMS ARE WORTH IT 💪
Also that's interesting about Indian subscribers. I have a song that blew up called "Naked for You" which, despite the admittedly clickbaity title, is a song about being emotionally open and vulnerable. Its massively popular with Indian males 65+. I'd like to think its because they appreciate a good power ballad but who knows...?
I have over 70% of my views are Indian males, nothing wrong with just why
@@mikwns3722 oh don't get me wrong, I welcome them. It's just an unexpected demographic to be into AI-generated retro rock music. 😆
@@HayleyHadeez mines a lofi Anime channel :)
@@mikwns3722 I'm digging that. I subbed and I'll listen later.
I was actually doing some lofi/ambient/chill stuff earlier. It was fun.
Just Keep Grinding‼️ Be Organic JUST BE YOU
Promotion 🤔. I was going to try this, thanks for the info ℹ️
Not throwing shade at all but I've seen some Channels with a LOT of anomalous stats in terms of their views and subs versus how many videos they have and how long they've been around.
Perhaps they did crack their audience metrics and it's genuine but it just seems off to me at times. And I don't mean that as sour grapes or that I'm jealous. It just seems odd...
Also my latest video got a 1 of 10. Jenn's sign reminded me.
I threw $150 at another channel to get me from 400 to over a 1000 subs, still crushed my watch hour goal and got monetized (the subs I got from the promo did count towards my monetization goal, even though UA-cam said they wouldn't). I'm still plugging along just fine and nothing burned down or broke. Every channel is different.
Started doing my content like month ago and it doesnt seems i would get any push in views/subscribers. Sometimes i dont get any views but sometimes i do get. Any tips?
I was gonna say I have noticed people coming on to my twitch for a bit but then pop off then I keep getting the more views then I get the subscribers it's like they do not subscribe right away they go away then come back it's like they are coming back just to see if they still find it interesting on different Twitch streams not just one which I think is one of the best ways for someone to decide
I’m shadow banned for no reason and I was averaging 10k - 12k per short now UA-cam isn’t even pushing it out…
Good luck for everyone ❤
Thanks
Very nice and informative video!
Some useful advice for a novice like Me
Good luck to all of you content creators! I've been trying to get 3000 watch hours, just not getting enough views on my long-form content.
Thanks for the very useful information you have provided, I was always Curious about this topic.🤗
Question for you all: Is your latest video just that slightly bit better than your last one? Like this if it is 👍
