As a new channel, it’s helpful to see info like this. So much to learn I didn’t know before jumping in. Maybe it’s not all useful now, but may be important later.
I honestly just got really lucky recently. I wasn’t even trying to get monetized necessarily I had less than 200 subs before uploading this 26 min video and then suddenly I’m past 1k subs in less than 3 days and I have 2.4k hours of watchtime
@@MatthewHaines It certainly is lol. This is just my passive entertainment intake account. Though I'm unsure how to keep the momentum of these views/subscribers for future videos, cuz I posted another video afterwards that I also put a lot of work into and it didn't get the same level of traction as the big one. It did better than my videos normally would, but not as good as I'd think given the circumstance
@@unknownperson7708 I'm actually doing some research right now on small vs big channels and the volatility of their view counts per video. Larger channel have much smoother deviation between views on videos, which is probably because they have a large subscriber base who watch everything they put out. Smaller channels don't have that, so a few 'hit' videos account for most of the views. There's more to it though and I might do a video on this in the future.
Don't mean to sound harsh, as Im sure its good advice. But how is it not working for you? You've been creating videos for two years and only have 2k subs. Most of your videos only get a few hundred views?
Your comment stung pretty hard, but it's because it's true. One of the reasons I've posted a few "UA-cam growth" videos lately is because I've been exploring what's holding my channel back. I think I should be doing better than I am, and I'm trying figure out why. There's a saying that authors "write the book they need to read". That's kind of what I'm doing with these videos...they're advice to myself as well as viewers.
@@MatthewHaines Well I wish you the best and shall continue to watch your rise (have subbed). Your new videos look and sound great. My only criticism is some of the older ones don't match the new look and makes the channel feel a bit confused, I'd take them offline and focus on the new style.

That's great! This must be on a different channel from the one you're commenting on?

Why do I see this?
Because UA-cam loves you and wants you to succeed. :)
Watch the algorithm blow up this vid? hopefully its the same for your videos for all you watching?
Thanks! So far it's doing pretty well. Fingers crossed.
