- how to grow your youtube channel from 0 subscribers
I started my UA-cam channel 3 years ago, and struggled for years to find my footing. This year, I started making changes that has led to the growth of my channel to almost 100k subscribers. In this video, I'm sharing everything I've learned so far about getting subscribers on UA-cam - including things to avoid if you want to grow your channel. I know a lot of you are interested in pursuing UA-cam as a full time career, so I really hope this is helpful!

Which of these is a challenge for you? Learning to not overthink/obsess over my growth was the biggest struggle for me😭
Overthinking is definitely an obstacle for me and creating thumbnails w/ catchy titles
Definitely like what you said trying to not overthink and also getting into my niche of what kind of content I want to put out!
Definitely relinquishing control lol BUT like you said if it’s meant…it’s going to be.
Consistency for me
overthinking and letting my self doubt and insecurities devour me and hold me back 😭
Trust in your own unique self-expression. It's the greatest gift that you can offer to the world. 🙏🏾
Yes! I've learned that creating content is really a spiritual journey in itself🙏🏽
+
As they say "Comparison is the thief of all Joy" I can Definitely relate to that. Nice video btw
the universe really does work in mysterious ways ㅠㅠ i was just about to have an emotional break down over a video i’ve been trying to create that i am uploading tomorrow and my broll was coming out great but my main footage is not coming out how i want to or how i’m envisioning it. and this, especially the ending is what i needed to watch and hear. thank you! ^^
That’s so crazy bc that’s how I felt about this video. When that happens I always say the b-roll/editing can make up for it!😂 So glad the timing was perfect, wishing you all the best! ❤️
Thanks for this! ✨ I love how you mentioned to not spend too much time watching over advice videos, I've definitely made this mistake before. But now I live by the quote "create more than you consume"
Girl yes and I'm still working on this lol!
you seriously deserve all the growth, i feel like you are one of the few youtubers who actually inspires and motivates me🤍
Wow thank you❤️
This was so spot on!!! I’ve been hesitant about releasing videos related to my journey with anxiety due to fear of judgment but I realize that a lot of people can relate to my story. This is my sign to just go forward with this new area of content. Thank you! ✨🤍
Yesss this really is your sign!💕
❤️❤️❤️
That is actually a VERY good niche. So many people can totally relate to struggling with anxiety, depression, etc. You should drive a lot of traffic to your channel.
I would definitely subscribed to you
Yesterday was a filming day for me because I was off and I really enjoyed doing it. I see why youtubers become full time. I want to be a full time youtuber and I’m literally acting like one by simply recording myself...it’s so much fun.. I love learning new editing skills. I work at a hospital full time. I know I will miss it but I’m so excited for my new journey 🤍🤍🤍
Filming and learning to edit is so fun. Follow your heart! I plan on doing UA-cam full time as well!
Yesss that is the best feeling realizing how much you enjoy it and visualizing yourself in that role on days when you have time to work on it! Wishing you all the best on your journey!❤️
Most importantly just be yourself and you’ll find people with the same interest as you!
Yes!!
I think my biggest struggle with my channel is consistency. I have a full time job and a lot was going on in my life earlier this year so I felt like I didn’t have time to post as many videos as I wanted to. Definitely going to take your advice! Thank you 🥰
You've grown so rapidly, I'm truly happy for your growth and how you will continue to flourish. I found your channel maybe two to three months ago (I think it was the "how I take pictures of myself for social media" video and I subbed ever since. Honestly, love to see it
Thank you so much! It's been so fun learning and making progress at all of this!❤️
You never go unnoticed. Honestly, Lynnette, you're the only UA-camr I've been following this year, and your advice about not going down the rabbit hole is so legit. When we start to compare is when the content doesn't come from the heart!
Thank you so much! And yesss agreed!
As a small channel this was so so useful!! It is always so nice to see smaller channels like yours blowing up and gaining success - more evidence that it IS possible :)
Right !
I second that! ❤️
I agree.
I have loved watching you grow! I have been subscribed to you since 7k and it is amazing to see you grow. Seeing you quit your 9-5 has inspired me to go harder on my YT channel because making videos truly makes me the most fulfilled. Thank you so much Lynette and congrats💜
Her videos inspire me to go harder too!
This feels like a breath of fresh air
Knowing that people would most likely subscribe to me if they love my personality just makes me want to put more of my personality out there
Thank you for sharing your journey! This is so freakin helpful!
Great video Lynette, thank you 🙏 I have only found your channel today but you have given me plenty of food for thought. I started my channel a few months ago on my spiritual journey and what i learned through the dark night of the soul. It seems to be doing well and i have 720 subscribers already 😁 I have been nervous to venture away from the spiritual topic because i didnt want to lose any of them, but your videos have reassured me that its probably a good choice and will ultimately help me grow.... im also not (or so i think) a very creative person and so this was stalling me also. but as you say in your video "our subs often watch us for our personalities and not just for our content" and my subs are always telling me how much they can relate to me. Thank you for your content, its really helping stir up my thoughts. Much love and best wishes Toby 🙌❤
Thank you I needed to hear this ✨🙏🏽
Great info! Congrats on your growth!! 😊👏🏽🙌🏽
Super super helpful, Lynette. Thank you for that! I loved the final tip about "Have fun with it." That's what I've recently started to it and it's helped alot!
Ahhhh can’t wait to watch ✨💜
This is an amazing video. Thank you queen ✨
this was really helpful, it honestly felt more genuine than a lot of other videos like this, so i appreciate how upfront you are with your advice
This me right now, when she spoke about niching down immediately now I’m regretting because I’m trying to switch and my views have dropped drastically. God help me because UA-cam is my major source of income as a single mom here in Nigeria
I loved this, I needed this! I felt discouraged multiple times but thank you so much for this, I have been being very consistent on my channel. I hope to grow as big as you one day, with perfect timing and hard work we all can succeed! 💜
Your so pretty girl 😍😍😍and it’s so refreshing to see you be able to prosper on here it helps a lot of ppl :)
Thank you for sharing! I have noticed the more consistent I am, the more views and more subscribers I received. The hardest part is trying to he consistent but definitely works!
Agreed!
Yay I’m one of those new subscribers. And I actually dislike most YT “influencers”. But I love your content and especially after I saw you left your job I want to support all of your videos. You have the purest soul and deserve everything positive and successful that’s coming to you 🙏🏾
Ready to learn 🤩 thanks for sharing!!!
thank you so much for this!!! ❤️
The last piece of advice really hit home! Been at it for about a year and am just now understanding to not overthink it and now I’m gaining momentum 😍 thank you for the tips and your content is 👏🏻🙌🏻❤️
Thank you for this advice! I am just starting my channel and this is super helpful! 🖤
You are one of my FAVORITE youtubers! This was one of the realest vids on this topic that I've seen in a while. Thank you for sharing your tips and just providing overall encouragement to keep going. 💕💕 For me, I love your personality... that's what made me sub!
I literally love your videos! They’re so helpful and detailed! Btw, you’re so stunning! 🥰
This is a solid video segment! May your journey continues to showcase your growth and prosperity!
Thank you so much! This was very encouraging! Overnight success is extremely rare. It's the consistent effort that matters!
thank you, I def needed this. your videos are always so organized & informative. I appreciate the effort you put into your videos & the fact that you stay true to yourself/ do you. that's always been a goal of mine. positive vibrations 🌞
All your content is so inspiring and amazing!! Almost at 100k ahhh so excited for you 😭🤍🤍
I just found your channel today and this video has given me so much clarity and direction. Thank you❤️
This was very insightful!! Thank you💜💜
Thank you for this!!! I started YT in November and I have a steady growth. My biggest fear is getting stuck in the niche I started in. I'm going to do as you stated and go from there.
I've been watching you for a few months now and I'm so happy about your growth! Congrats on leaving your job. I wish you nothing but prosperity girl
Honestly this was so 10/10! I love that it wasn’t another one of those “here’s the camera you should buy” type video. Def taking some of this advice for my channel because outside of family & personal health, I feel ready to make videos again
This video was the first thing that popped up and I can just already feel this is a sign for me to just keep going and not overthink anything and just be authentically me. I started my channel around when I was a 7th grader back in 2019 and I honestly just did it for fun not knowing what I was doing but I took a time off on my channel but then I realize when I went back to my old videos watching them. How much I missed creating content and being happy, so this year is my year to take my channel seriously and accomplish the goals that I have for my channel. I honestly love your videos.🥰Your such an amazing person and just being on your channel inspires me to become a better version of myself.
Thank you for this! Another piece of advice that I have found so helpful is "finished is better than perfect" in regards to consistency. My videos aren't perfect and usually right when I upload them, I can think of something I could have done differently but I use that energy to make my next video better! I literally have that saying on a post it note on my bathroom mirror. It keeps me from not overthinking creating and editing.
Great video and so helpful! Thank you babe💗💗💗
such good advice!!! excited to use all this
Great tips Lynette - thank you
Gurl you made it. I remember in january we were like 11 000 to follow your channel and now look. Keep going gurl🙏✨💜
Oh I’m tapped in I’ve watched you grow so fast so I def love that you did this video!
Thank you!!❤️
your thumbnails are definitely appealing , i'm glad i decided to click for sure. thank you for sharing, i agree with everything!! my biggest struggle rn is my thumbnails but i will make a better effort. much love
you right. I find your word comforting, uplifting, and inspiring. It's nice to watch someone with a similar mindset.
♥️♥️♥️ the best advice ever !! Thank you
Don’t niche down!! First UA-camr advice where I heard that. You always hear to niche down and it gets frustrating
Love love love your videos. Thank you so much for being so transparent with your journey. It really helps ❤️
i just want to say you have definitely inspired me to start my channel again as i’m editing away to start posting more 💕
This was super helpful! Thank you so much :)
This is so informative. Thank you for sharing :)
I’ve been battling with the whole “niching” down aspect of UA-cam and this literally hit me because i tell myself im not a one niche type of gall. Im passionate about so much in life (hence, why my channel name is lifewithJessenia). And sometimes feel like I need to and your first to say, you don’t need to!!so I am going to keep going and always remember to provide value in each video. Thanks so much for this! I’m a newbie, found you a couple months ago and fell in love with how you think and explain things ♥️♥️
Thank you for this. I’ve been holding myself back big time.
You're right consistency really does help, not only with growing but with allowing yourself to share multiple different types of videos with your audience. I think this really helped with my channel since I started uploading twice a week. Thanks for the tips☺️💕
I subscribed last night ❤️ soon as I got off work I got relaxed got something to eat and went to your channel. You bring a genuine and humble personality.
this video was absolutely what i needed! been making youtube videos for 15 months and it's just now that i know what i like to talk about & in what direction i want to go. but i did overthink this a lot, as i wanted to escape the 9 to 5 by doing youtube... it's GOING TO HAPPEN & thank you for making me see that
Love love love this, I'm new in this youtube thing it was really stressing me out. Thank you so much for this you've put me at ease ❤❤
Very helpful video. Working on my consistency with content, wishing you more success and prosperity 💕
I appreciate your clear examples through your own journey!! thank you , helped a lot
this was so helpful and reassuring, I definitely have been spiraling lately with my channel lol but so inspired by your growth!
Very helpful! Not overthinking it DEFENITLY resonated the most✨
The gift that keeps on giving. I loved this video!
this was another reminder for me to keep going, will definitely be using these tips in my own content!
Sending you love all the way from London
Yesss you got this! Thank you!❤️
Dude you’re so dope i love your content!
Really good advice girl! I love seeing your growth! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much!!
It’s definitely exponential growth. We have to get past the valley of disappointment where you’re putting in the work and not seeing the rewards just yet. 💪🏾💪🏾
Aww congrats girl, I see you’ve hit 100k. So deserving. 🥰
In my opinion one’s visuals is what initially draws attention to a channel. You obviously have that mastered. Personally I feel that it’s your transparency that keeps your followers watching .Am very pleased to watch you expand.😊
Thanks for your advice on nicheing down! I feel like many ‚youtube growth‘ channels swear on nicheing down as the one and only key for growth but the idea of creating an audience watching you for being you is so much more motivating! 🙏🏻
I watched sooo many vids that said to niche down and I followed that advice for the longest! I think it definitely works for some channels but yes creating an audience that watches you for you is the best!❤️🙏🏽
Your advice was so helpful! I love how chill, real, and motivational you are! The obsessing and overthinking part is so SPOT ON. Thank you! ✨
Thank you, I'm so glad it was helpful!
What a gem of a video! I’ve been doing UA-cam videos for years and my channel just had a slow growth. Implementing these tips thank you!
Your personality is fantastic and you're always encouraging.
Such great legit advice Lynette!!! We tend to complicate simple things, and that's the hardest of challenges! We're our worst enemies sometimes lol. Loved the video, thank you for making it
Thank you for the tips I’m definitely going to apply them on my channel 😊
I’ve seen so many videos on UA-cam growth but the way you put this girl was so clear and to the point. Thanks for this. Consistency is key, we have to show up for ourselves always.
I'm so glad! And yes!!
for the algorithm🤙 keep shining sis you’re amazing!
❤️
Loved the last tip :')
Ultimately the best + fastest way for us is the one we pave
Really great tips! I started implementing these on my channel and they work well! I really like your last point about going with the flow. In the beginning of my channel I would press so much but now I’m way more relaxed and people says it shows in my content. Great video!
That's so awesome, I feel like it always takes time to get into your groove! So glad you're getting yours!
I love this!! We want to have a large platform so bad!! I think we can all do it this definitely inspired me to keep going.
thanks for always posting super useful and honest content
This is exactly the video I’ve been needing, thank you!
❤️🙏🏽
Canva? Great that’s my pic as well, you said something that no one has did, to stop obsessing over other peoples journeys and UA-cam success trying to force and make everything perfect, take my time let it flow, and learn a you go…. YOU NAILED IT. 😊 thank you
been thinking about focusing on UA-cam and appreciate this advice
