9:15 How to Stand Out on UA-cam
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing💪
Right? Practice makes perfect!
Special quote
Really few niches you can be on YT by not talking 😂
@@theluschmasterjournals practice makes it BETTER but not perfect as there’s no such thing as perfect
Just started my channel may Allah guide all of us to the right path ameen and do what best for us ameen 🙏 .
9 KEY LESSONS:
1. Just get started and make your first three videos, even if they're not perfect. Overthinking and fear can hold you back, so it's important to take action and see how you feel about making videos.
2. Commit to UA-cam and decide if you want to treat it as a casual hobby or a serious business. If you want to take it seriously, commit to making at least one video a week.
3. Focus on improving the craft of making videos by creating your next seven videos and working on skills like titles, thumbnails, filming, editing, storytelling, and more.
4. Understand the game of UA-cam and focus on the three things that matter for growth: click, watch time, and satisfaction.
5. Develop a strategy for your channel, including figuring out your niche by combining your interests, strengths, and target audience to create a unique value proposition.
6. Analyze the market and find your competitive or authentic edge, which could include things like depth of research, storytelling, editing, relatability, diversity, and more.
7. Continue to learn and improve, whether through free resources on UA-cam or by investing in courses and other education to grow your skills and knowledge.
8. In order to be successful on UA-cam, you need to figure out what makes you unique and stand out in the market.
9. Building systems and leverage can help you create valuable content for your audience within your niche while also saving time.

Thanks, you just saved me watching the video start to end. Nothing new here.
Great
Love it!
*People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.*
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.”
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
That’s a just approach. I’m 50 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

Lots of truth in this. I highly recommend Shorts as a way to make your channel grow. Been making UA-cam content seriously for 8 months after just being a viewer for years, and I’ve had some pretty good results. Good luck to everyone working towards building a following! 🎉
how much do u make (rough estimate) ?
Bro. You are already there 🤭🤭🤭
Wow, this is teacher David from Thailand. I didn't expect to see you here, lol😂 He’s right. Thanks for your advice!
Naw. Shorts don't pay anything. One long form video can pay you tens of thousands of dollars with 1 million views. Depending on your niche , cpm/rpm. That same video in a short will pay you maybe a hundred bucks. Subscribers also don't mean anything after 1,000 and you're in the YTPP. It's all about views and multiple streams of income on the platform. I'm making more money with only 2k subs than others in my niche with 100k subs.
If all you care about is getting massive amounts of subs for cloute, sure make shorts. If you care about making money and building a community....make long form content.
Thank you
If you are reading this I hope your channel grows 10 fold
Back at you ❤ you just gained a sub 😊
You too😊
Bruh…10 X 0 is still ZERO! I’m still doomed ☠️
Thank you! I hope so too!
That would beee.... 0!
If I would have to start again on YT, I just wouldn't waste months to get recognized by couple hundred people. When I discovered I could trigger organic growth after getting first few thousand subscribers and views (I used a bit of Famester), my life and my UA-cam journey became a lot easier. People are just looking at the numbers when searching for some content. If you have low subs no one cares about you even if you have the best content on platform.
This is a scam. This is a bot
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 750 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Best of luck for your future bro ❤
Well done !
@@yumitalk7779 Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my UA-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a UA-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this UA-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@tammyintiaras Thank you! I think what makes me strong is forcing myself to make tons of mistakes, learning from them, and strategizing how I will approach similar situations in the future so I don't make the same mistakes again. Knowing that making mistakes is just part of life gives me the courage to get out of my comfort zone many times because I will never learn something new if I'm so afraid of fucking up. In fact, I recently joined a toastmaster club. This weekend, I'll be in front of a small group of people to give my 1st speech on stage, which scares the hell out of me but that's ok. I know that fear is part of life but it's all about having the courage to overcome fears.
@@nathananderson8720 I’m learning slowly…could be an age thing…lol..I have 390 videos and 270 wonderful subs…why a journey it is just being me. God bless from beautiful Ballarat 😘
My favourite part about the UA-cam journey so far has been the skill acquisition. I never thought I'd fall in love with videography and editing as much as I have. To all those on the fence: make the jump!
me tooo i never edited anything before i started youtube and now its one of my favorite crafts i've ever learned
Same thing happend to me haha
How and were can i learn editing free
@@loverizer8414 on youtube;)
For real I love editing I love the feeling when I get to say I made that but one thing that holds me back is thinking I'll never be as good as I wanna be or what I make just isn't good enough or worth it....any tips? I'm sure someone has felt the same way
The fact I’ve NEVER heard of you but you have 4mil subscribers is inspiring. It lets me know that there’s so many people in the world and you have to practice consistency, planning and mindfulness
he just bought subs - noway he can earn at least 1m
@@aleksandr7620 Nope, I watched his YT channel like 4 years ago and at that time he was sky rocketing, their videos were gold. I would say that his content was not in your niche
@@aleksandr7620 how do you buy subs
Let’s grow together guys
Really helpful!
I've been watching tons of these types of videos the last couple years, and this is by far my favorite! So clear, to the point, organized, focused. I really appreciate the easy-to-follow outline!
I told myself when I surpass 1,000 subscribers and am approved for the UA-cam partner program I would watch this video in its entirety. Well I have accomplished both and now its time to learn.
I'm so glad you're providing scholarship to those in need. Such an innovative idea and shows the humility you hold and your passion for teaching.
It's very interesting that UA-cam essentially attracts two types of creators: those who are bold and don't mind what others think of them, and those who are on the other end of the spectrum: extremely shy and introverted, and prefer talking to the camera over talking to people.
yesss I am the latter lol
U mean everybody 🙄
I think I may have to disagree with your comment, sorry! I'm not bold and do worry about what others will think but I love talking to people - and I always find people open up to me. In fact talking with people is one of my greatest strengths. So I think I'm somewhere in the middle.
I am the latter
@@Slynell1why so negative?
Ali, your encouragement means a lot to me. Knowing that I'm on the right path and hearing it from you feels great. I've been dedicated to consistently uploading videos, and I've already reached 50. Thank you for the motivation!
Ali, I am thankful for the content on your channel. I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a podcast and YT channel for years. In recent months I’ve encountered people who have encouraged me to pursue this endeavor. At the same time, I found your channel and it has been a wealth of information. I just pre-ordered your book and I look forward to continued learning. All the best to you and your team. Thanks!
Applied for the scholarship today!! Would absolutely love to be part of this, especially being the last live cohort, and learning the systems and processes. I can't wait, so excited 😁
I finally started my UA-cam channel a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been brainstorming trying to figure out what direction I want to take and how to execute it. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
You really deserve a thumbs you. I just saw your video for the first time and it lifted my spirits and now it is the time of starting from Level 1. Thank you ❤
Fantastic tips. They seem simple and obvious at first glance, but many creators overlook them. With similar guidance and support from famegrowers, both my channels really took off. We never stop learning! Wishing all creators much success
they helped me to monetize one of my channels ( i earn decent money making shorts now ) so definetely recommend them too
wish me luck guys, im starting with my channel
broo i bought youtuber package on my main channel, im happy with results, got 40 new subs from first promoted video in 2 days.. you found a gem 👍
bro i tried everything to boost my channel, will check it
Thanks for recommendation
Thank you so much for always being so generous with your knowledge. I've learned so much from you over the years, and through different life stages too! It seems like whatever I've got on my mind, you've got a video on how to do it smarter. Keep at it Ali and team!
Your videos have really changed my perception of my own craft as an artist Ali... I have gotten so much value from your videos it's ridiculous. I will definitely take this last live cohort chance!!!!
Really liked the editing in this video, especially the small touch of using the progress bar at the bottom! Feel like I'm beginning to get to level 2 and need to focus on improving the quality of the videos that I do produce - thank you for this framework Ali!
Great job! I’m now at level 3 and it’s really fun to see how little changes to my videos can improve the viewer experience. It’s like the 1% improvement in the way you do things Ali always talks about. Good luck my friend! 🥂
@@UnderCtrl I hope it keeps on getting better for you, good luck to you too!
hey guys, I'm a small creator as well. If you are serious into improving your channels, check Derral Eves livestreams as well as his book "UA-cam formula"
Can i review your youtube channel
@@Faide001-oc5pj Of course, any feedback is appreciated!
Wahhh this is perfect! I startet my channel today, and I'm really committed to taking this seriously. So this is very valuable, thanks for sharing!
Hey Ali, I just wanted to drop a comment to let you know how much your video impacted me. After watching it, I felt a surge of motivation and took the leap to start my own UA-cam channel. While I'm still navigating the challenges and learning the ropes, I genuinely enjoy the process. Your insights and inspiration have been invaluable to me. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and lighting the way for aspiring creators like myself. Keep up the amazing work! 🌟
Thanks for sharing this, Ali! I love the part where you say that we don´t have to focus on one niche, but to focus on getting better with our videos!! You really inspired me with this video and motivated me to keep going! 🤗
Thank you! Made my first video and released it yesterday, currently reminding myself that I can’t instantly be good at it and it takes practice. Love these tips.
I appreciate your elocution speed. It’s quick, to the point, and no pointless intros. That’s a good video right off the bat. Usually I always skip intros and put x1,5 speed.
You've helped me start taking my channel (a whopping 52 subscribers now) more serious (since a week) and I intend to make this work! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, experience and joy.
just started my channel and while it's a bit challenging, I also can't help but feel satisfied when I get done with editing especially and everything looks looks so well put together.
Learn the craft- oh how true! We started our channel after someone watched an unedited home video! For me it’s learning a new skill and I’m loving it. All our film and pictures over three years is totally amateur as a personal record of an adventure through a change in life. Now it’s becoming a story. I had no idea how much enjoyment I would get out of the writing and editing process - it’s creative, challenging and immersive. I wish everyone success in what they do and you’ve shown others how to reach levels they probably didn’t know they were capable of achieving. Hats off to you Ali!
To everyone reading this, don't give up on your channel. You got this!
With time, you will get to the point you've always aimed for. We are on this together ❤
Thank you! Trying my best to get to 500 subs.
Thanks bro😢😊
Just subscribed to yours too!!
Thanks
@@Meowcrobone month and you’re already almost at 100k that’s amazing
Just made the jump, recorded and posted yesterday my first video. It was nerve wrecking and really proud of you Esther
Great video Ali! You are by far one of the most qualified people to talk about this topic (own experience with growing the channel + teaching others) and it was amazing to hear you emphasize on what is important. Thank you!
Agreed Sir
I totally agree on the advice: start to get going! Adding the fact that one should never loose patience because the process takes also time BEFORE it takes up or even end up in endless self-doubt adds additional value to my mind
Sure...patience is the key
Love this advice! For the longest time I’ve contemplated starting a channel but I’m over thinking the “niche” and all those fears and what ifs that comes with the unknown of making your voice public. Thanks for the encouragement and tips for getting started!
THANK YOU for getting right to the point! I've watched so many people talk for several minutes before they even get near their point!
Just started my own channel after years of procrastinating and being afraid to get started because of judgment, lack of video editing skills, and feeling just plain scared. I finally posted my first 3 videos in the last 3 weeks and it was so much more work than I even expected! I have much more respect for content creators than I did before. Latest lesson is using any sort of microphone if you don’t want background noise ruining your audio . Thanks and great video!
It was so smart commenting on here ands talking about your channel and struggles. I clicked on your name and looked at your channel and subscribed!
@@wendicoe6748That’s so cool! Thanks ❤️🤗 I hope you liked my videos!
Thank you for the tip about the microphone, it just happened to me and I had no clue how to fix it , the video editing software helped but have not ereased it completely, I will be getting a microphone 😊
Loved how you broke it down to three simple phases Ali! Made me feel like I can put much less pressure on myself too to have it all figured out from day one, as long as I get going and keep going. Just started my channel last week and this is exactly what I need🙌🏼 Thank you!
Go Carmen!! 💯💯
@@jonstnr thanks so much Jon!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@@its.carmenwong subscribed to your channel and will check your videos later 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@jonstnr thanks so much Jon!!
Keep going...Just saw your channel and its nice...
Love how you articulated every step in a way that was easy and simple to understand. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial Ali! Awesome stuff as usual 🙏
The best way is to stop consuming and start creating
Great advice! Have my first 3 videos posted and I’ve learned soooo much about everything you listed but most importantly, MYSELF. Consistency, discipline, and authenticity ✨
Hello are you a UA-camr
This is amazing stuff ! I started out my own channel thanks to all your incredible content and tips just over two months ago ! Thank you so much Ali for everything 😄
Took a lot of inspiration from this and one of the reasons I started my own channel! We have been at it for a couple of months now and I really enjoy your videos and the good stuff I get from them! Thanks
I started my channel last year and making videos can be both frustrating and motivating at the same time. You need to keep going. Going forward of creating videos should be the only option and keep learning as you go along with your journey. Always think you are just one video away to be successful. We can do this.
Haha an account that paid for subscribers lol
This “always think you are just one video away from being successful works” I am in 260 videos and shorts and am still hoping🤣🤣
You are right but its difficult to remain hopeful every time
I never buy subscribers. They come naturally through youtube shorts. If you don't know that kind of idea, you better work it now.
making videos should not be a burden if you enjoy it. Do you?
this is so different from any other UA-cam advice video I've seen in the same genre but something about the way you explain it, the relationship analogy and really breaking it down in the number of videos, it really helped in stick in my ADHD brain and inspire me a lot more, as opposed to other videos who really just hammer down on niche and staying consistent and making high quality content. thank you!
Great comment
So good! And so true! Just the act of getting started and the momentum that you can get from putting out your first 3 videos can fuel that drive you need to keep going. Thanks for putting this content together, it really helps and encourages!
I love gaming and my two cats. These two are basically where I spend most of my time outside of work. I always wanted to make my own channel and start uploading videos because I feel like positive experiences are more enjoyable when shared with others. Your videos has encouraged me to finally make a channel and upload my first video!
Such great tips, love the fact that you went straight into it :). I am still in phase one, I need to take my youtube channel more seriously and commint to it.
Thank you so much!
I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for sharing such wonderful content. Your video was incredibly motivating and the music was a perfect fit. I appreciate all the effort you put into creating such amazing videos. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
I just sent it! I’ve been posting this week and getting over the first hurdle was definitely the hardest but so gratifying
I got a lot of takeaways from this, but it's the first time I've heard "inspirational" as 'value' -- added to the mix of entertainment/education. I was able to get clarity about my niche. I am super stoked about it ~ thank you!
You were one of the first few channels I watched UA-cam tips from. I haven’t stopped grinding since. Appreciate you bud 🙌
Just do it. It's so hard but so fun. When I commited to it it became easier and harder and the same time. I'm going nowhere so far or at least that's how I feel but I think that if I keep going and improving, while being authentic and creative, It'll eventually happen.
Just made the jump, recorded and posted yesterday my first video. It was nerve wrecking and really proud of you Esther ❤
Awesome, likewise I just made a couple too.. I'll check out your vids .. gotta support the little people.
I just signed up for the course and the very first 2 videos put everything into such perspective. Ali has a magnificent way of explaining and relating information to make it understandable and actionable.
Looking to jump on to level 2 on my personal journey. Thanks for the dopamine of motivation, now its time to focus on the discipline.
It’s really hard to keep up and create new contents every other week but its rewarding when viewers appreciate and enjoy your contents. To my fellow creators who are afraid of posting their contents because someone might not like it, JUST POST IT (you’ll never know whose gonna enjoy your contents unless you try) 💪✨
I recently started my first UA-cam channel offering career tips in consulting and project management and your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you 🎉❤
Thanks to you, I started my UA-cam channel this year. I love you! You're my favorite UA-camr!❤
Your way of communicating with words, making sense and not just making click bait video titles is what makes me watch your videos until the very end. Really enjoyed the information you shared - thank you!
hi there,I saw your UA-cam channel and your content is so good, But your videos have very few views.
Thank you for still making these videos. there's still people out there wanting to make the leap
Thank you so Much for the good tips .
I just started my UA-cam channel 2 months a go and working hard to get better every day .
Just working on my first video. Cant wait to start this long journey. Good luck to everyone out there on the same journey !!!
Love you Ali. Thank you for the invaluable content as always. God bless you and your family.
I started my channel this year and I really appreciate the advice! Starting was definitely the biggest hurdle
Your videos about starting a youtube channel have been so valuable to me. This information helped me get started, they key is starting and doing more than we think
I just started my UA-cam and taking the beginning steps. Good luck to everyone starting out!!
One of the challenges many new channels face is the feeling of discouragement when they spend 5-7 days creating a video, only to upload it and receive just a few views and a few subs. Despite this, it's important to remember that success in the UA-cam journey takes time and persistence. Embrace the learning process, stay committed, and know that every view is a step forward on your path to success. You've just begun this exciting UA-cam journey, and with dedication, your efforts will undoubtedly yield positive results. Keep creating and stay motivated!.
thanks for your encouragement Also I have a UA-cam channel it's not easy.
The Show Your Work book by Austin Kleon did it for me! I have that exact book on my desk at all times as well because it's the BEST reminder to stop overthinking & just DO something!
The key word is "ACTION"
Absolutely love the way you explained this definitely worth following!! Thanks very much!! ❤
I just started my UA-cam channel and luckily to see this video now. I will apply the tips to see how it goes with my channel and come back here after 3 months to tell you how it works!
Yes, you are 100% right. Take small steps but be consistent. By the time your skills will enhance automatically.
We are all gonna make it! NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP IMPROVING!❤
73.6% of UA-camrs are above average.
I just started this month and I’ve already learnt SO MUCH about UA-cam!
Thanks for the tips! I'm on my third video/short. Let's see how the next seven will turn out after applying it muscle💪🏾
"On the hobby to business spectrum, where do you land on that spectrum? (You're not allowed to pick 5)" Loved this, thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot! It means so much for someone that has gone through the journey to motivate others and care enough for others that are starting. Subscribed 🌸
Thank you for this!! I was getting hung up with "well what's my niche and branding".... and therefore not creating ANYTHING! Thank you for "giving permission" to just create for the fun and practice of it.
I was about to quit UA-cam after going at it for 3 years with barely any result. Then I stumbled on your video. All I can say is thank you.
If it still feeds your soul, keep at it sis.
Wishing you deep joy 🌻

I would love to hear your advices , so latter I could open mine too😅
Please do share , how can I grow the channel

@@Ibiponmisola thank you so much🥹
I love your video, content and delivery. Very Smooth, thank you ❤ I just started my channel and I'mma get going like you said and apply all levels as I go.
Love you videos! I just started a channel. 3 videos in. 0 views, crickets.. but I learnt that I enjoyed making the videos and songs. So I am gonna keep at it. Even if nobody ever looks at them 😅.
I’ve seen the journey you’ve been on with your book and I’m so happy to hear it’s progressing nicely.

Great content, subbed! We’re brand new creators and have found that enjoying the process is equally important as mapping the destination. Happy creating y’all 👍
Thank you for sharing this!
Live the dream and go for it, i started my UA-cam last month, im excited about the journey
WOW. Thank you for offering so many pieces of advice, and for sharing it in a way that I personally connected with! Also, your lighting and editing is beautiful :-)
Finally coming back to UA-cam after 2 years and this video has been so useful! Thank you Ali.
Ali, your videos are down to the point and helpful. Thank you for what you do, this is incredibly inspiring
Great Advice to someone like me who just started and uploaded his first video. I have my niche and i know my way but i think one of the big goals is to not look at numbers that much the first 3 months and just get your routine done.
Thanks for your content.
Love the breakdown here! The UA-cam journey is long and painful but hopefully one day it’ll be worth it
Such awesome lessons to share, and I feel I am now ready to finally get that channel of mine live. I am so glad I found your content 😎
Actually decided to start my UA-cam channel about a month ago. It’s a big learning curve but also lots of fun. Each subscriber I get makes me so fricken happy and hypes me up to a insane level.
I am happy that I have taken the 1st step of 3..🤩🤩 ,Thanks you so much for this information.
The aspect of my UA-cam journey that I have enjoyed the most is the acquisition of new skills. I never anticipated developing such a strong passion for videography and editing. If you're hesitant, I encourage you to take the leap and give it a try.
By far, this is the greatest tutorial I have found. The speed is perfect and Ali's delivery is so fabulous. I am so exited to put everything he said into practice. I am literally going to do exactly what he says step by step. Starting now. Today Ali Connor, The Joyful Badsss channel is born. 6/6/23 at 2:56 pm.
All the best! 🥰
Amazing, what were ur learnings implementing them?
this is amazing, thank you brother
Brilliant tips, thank you! We are almost a year in and have decided we are going to take it seriously now! Fingers crossed for all trying to grow their channel 🙏
Watched the 2022 version of this video as well. Proud that I kept going and I'm now at the level of improving my systems and processes. Thanks for always sharing valuable tips at 1.5x speaking speed 😂
😂 it does feel like that!
Just love your advice ! They're realistic and helpful! Thanks Ali! :)
