  • I've reviewed thousands of UA-cam channels, and these are the things that happen before failure (but also how to fix them).
    Here's how I'm helping creators: radicalyt.com/

      What’s the best rhythm for a successful video. I know fast cuts help keep your audiences attention but I don’t think you can have a video that’s 12mins with a cut every 1 to 2 seconds with out people getting annoyed or board and leaving.

Also needed to develop self awareness. Becoming friends with a big youtuber in my niche helped a lot too. And never giving up even when i felt like it.

    One huge thing that actually improved me from watching you is collaborating with others. I made a small discord group with me and 5 other creators.

    Every time I stray away from UA-cam, it's because there's some kind of perspective or skill that I need to learn, that I can't learn by grinding away at videos, but when I come back it's always better. Even if I'm doing the same thing it feels different and I think the audience can feel it too. I think it's important to give ourselves grace during the time we get pulled away because maybe there's something we nee to learn that can impact and help us reach our audience.

    New UA-cam creators like me find the time thing to be critical. Once you are making a full time living from your channel it's easier to dedicate your time to creating content but when you have to pay the bills in non-UA-cam ways it becomes a tough juggling act. I have been building my channel for the last year with a huge amount of your advice and it's made a big difference.

    I recently chose to make YT part time only because I am a full time writer and I want to focus more on that. As a result, I produce less videos, but found more enjoyment in them, my audience loves the vids I do for them, and I have begun sharing my stories with my audience in the community tab and even created a choose-your-own-adventure story for them with polls for them to shape the story I would write. This has increased engagement, and while my channel remains small, I have found contentment because I am more in alignment with my true goals.

    One thing that I have learned since becoming a content creator on UA-cam (or just having an existence online) is that when it comes to building your page, it will take some time. It’s kinda like the old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Also it doesn’t hurt to try out different ways to put together videos to see what works and what doesn’t.
    Another thing that I wanted to say before I forget, is that as the more popular you get you’ll get your share of haters too. And people who will label you as “cringe”.
    Now don’t get me wrong, you’ll have an audience who will love you and support you every way. But not everyone is going to like you and disagree with what you believe in. Even if it has reason for it, you can’t let it get to you by heart. Otherwise you’re going to have a harsh reality.
    Anyways that’s what I think, it don’t mean that the next creator will say the same. Good video!

    • @manhwainfinite
      @manhwainfinite 9 місяців тому +1

      agreed! As a smaller content creator myself I found that when I started truly focusing on my videos and quality the subscribers comments and views came in.

    I'm a small fishing channel and been doing it for awhile now. It doesn't matter to me if I have 2 subs or just over 400. It matters to me that I've entertained or helped someone with what I love to do.
    A guy commented and said he had a medical issue and can't fish for a long time, it's content like mine that keeps him in the game. Made me wanna cry and THAT'S WHY I'M HERE ON YT!!

    1) Learning rate. If you're not picking up the right things and being effective, you'll fail. 2) Mindset. Gotta stick with it. Filter out ugly feedback. Your own narrative can steer you into a ditch. 3) Application rate. If not enough action, you'll lose momentum, and you'll pack it up. 4) Stop caring. What does enough mean? Other priorities can take over.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    To make it on UA-cam, you gotta keep learning and using what you know, fast.
    Don't let haters or your own doubts mess with your vibe; that can really make or break you as a creator.
    It's not just about learning stuff, but actually doing something with it. If you don't, you'll probably get frustrated and might even quit.
    If you're into what you're making, you're more likely to succeed. Lose interest, and your content's gonna suffer.
    If you're not feeling it anymore, it's cool to focus on other stuff. No need to force it.

    The "expectation" of "taking off" that doesn't happen . . . leads to failure. The unrealistic expectation. One just needs to continue to work toward success: however an individual solves the problem and gains knowledge. Putting a time limit on it causes PRESSURE. Pressure = STRESS. Don't do that. Have a positive FUN learning experience and cut out all the stress. This isn't a contest to be won, it's an experience to be had.

    You are by far my favorite creator for creators. Your tips are so useful, down to earth, and uplifting. I love how you add in something to help us with the mental stress of creating in most of your videos.

I’m curious, do you have many other subs creating content for children?

    I needed this, Nate. My Grumpelstiltskin has been telling me to give up over the last few weeks. I know what needs to be done to find success here. I just need to figure out how to integrate the knowledge into my specific topic. ...I need to figure out how to "good clickbait" my specific topics, thumbnails, and titles. I've been trying to do that for a while now. The problem has been rolling around in my head, looking for a solution, for about a year now. It's not easy. Your encouragement is very helpful though.

      I watched ( full watch!) one of your videos. It shows the beauty of the truck. I’ve read several books on the Camino. I actually ended up at the terminal point by way of no plan when I was backpacking around Europe before iG and fB😂.
      I’ll watch more.
      I don’t know if you covered this - but part of the fascination is what makes people choose to undergo this pilgrimage and how it gradually changes them, the friends they make along the way, the realizations they have.
      So- the inward journey.
      And now I will watch more. 👍🏼
      Because I would love to do this someday. I’m studying French and Spanish to get ready😂

Sometimes for example, it’s hard to know what, of all the things in a big channel’s thumbnail, is the key that makes it really work, ya know?
    Got any magic questions to help narrow that down? 😛

    HI Nate. Hi guys. So, this is my third UA-cam channel, the 2nd to be monetized and the first ever to make any real money. I've just got into the Partner Program, about a week ago or so and the first time I joined UA-cam was June 2021 and that channel is pretty much non existent at this point. I'm the least patient person I know but I stuck it out, third time's the charm I guess! What I learned was keep going and do something that excites you, people can tell the difference between enthusiasm and faking it. Amazingly enough I also realized I had much better views with one video a week than 2. I even did Vlogmas! hehehe.
    I should also add that I've never had a viral video and I still monetized in 10 months so... totally possible guys, forget about viral, do what you love consistently and keep at it.
    Keep going, you've got this!

    I started my channel in 2020 and I almost quit in December of 2021. I decided to change up my channel to target a particular audience and I changed up my style of presenting. I put out my first video in 2022 on January 2nd with this mindset and my channel started to take off! I had 387 subs on Jan 2nd, 2022 and by January 20th, I was at 1,000 subs! Over the past 2 years, I continued to improve 3 things on my channel... my titles, thumbnails, and finding subjects that my audience liked; not what I liked necessarily. The last thing I will say is that you have to stand firm on your beliefs and not try to please everyone. Trying to please everyone will result in pleasing no one. Figure out who your audience is and what types of subjects they are interested in. Hope this helps someone. (Also, get feedback from your audience about what they would like to hear more about.)

    You've only failed when you stop innovating and give up - otherwise, you simply haven't succeeded yet! Also, remember to give your mind some downtime every day. My most original creative ideas usually come to me while I'm taking a shower, and I figure this to be because that is when my conscious mind is kind of idling and free to wander while the hot water and relaxing scent of the products I use work their magic on my body. Appreciate the moments of stillness and silence. 🧘‍♀
