I have been feeling so depressed about the poor reception my content has been receiving. I have been spending so much time on creating and editing and scripting and all that creation jazz. And then to get such low views is so disheartening and those anxiety spirals suck the fun right out of this hobby. I REALLY needed this video right now. THANK YOU.
U got this 🔥 Enjoy the journey and the process. With every upload learn something new to include in the next video❤️ U are on your way to greatness. DO NOT STOP OR GIVE UP💯
BOOM! Thanks for sharing this! I hit 1k subs in about 28 days and I'm just getting started, I already KNOW this video's about to be insanely great to help skyrocket that! I appreciate the content you guys make man, you guys are the TRUTH! Also, here's to GREAT success to anyone applying the techniques and content that these guys share on here! They truly are game-changers! I know that sounds corny, it's how I really speak lmao
Yes, what I took away is the journey itself reveals itself. That being vulnerable to this journey helps one win. On a journey doors are revealed and that being brave enough to open those doors 🚪...will unvail things you never thought about 😮
@@debbiehaythe102 Consistency was my biggest cheat code... making content consistently and collaborating with others in my industry/market made it a really fast push! Now I'm back in the saddle making more content and legit cannot wait to have fun making more! Here's to great success on your channel also Debbie!
Hey Mike! I'm Daniela from the ThinkMedia here. I'm happy you enjoy our content and congrats on those 1k subs, if you're looking to grow your business and personal brand with UA-cam, then our GWVL event is for you! We're currently running a FLASH SALE that gets you almost 50% OFF tickets from today until Friday. If you're interested send us a DM in @seancannell and we'll send you the code
Getting subs is really easy when you already got some knowledge, but when you are starting UA-cam it can be really frustrating. I wanted to delete my main channel which now has over 150k subs because I was struggling so much at the start (Luckily I found out that using a bit of Famester could give me a little push in terms of subscribers. After that I was getting so much organic audience, and my channel just went off).
Is a vlog a separate channel that references your main YT channel to give support to it by showcasing behind the scenes activity that shows one up as "human" and therefore relatable. If that is what it is then that's my takeaway. If not, help me understand because Erin did a great job of convincing me that I need one!
Can you please do a short video on how to make an end screen? I watched your video did exactly what you said, saved changes, but for some reason the vid was still missing the end screen
My issue is the subs aren’t guaranteed to watch anymore content. I’m feeling very lost lately. I spent a week making a video and it flopped and earned €3. It’s exhausting
While it's true that subs aren't "guaranteed to watch" having more subscribers will generally lead to more views, because non-subscribers view a high subscribe count as credibility or social proof that others like your content. With that being said, creators do better when they don't get wrapped up in feeling entitled to "get views" and focus more on providing value in their content. Focus on what the viewer wants and they'll watch for their own self-interest. This is the closest you can get to guaranteeing views. Edit: As far as the low ad income. How things start isn't always how it ends. I've had videos perform low at first, then take off later, because the content was "evergreen". It's also important to offer something for sale or monetize outside of ad revenue. I once had 400k subs and was making pretty good ad money, then UA-cam cut CPM in half, literally, and I lost half my ad income with the same amount of views. Hope this helps.
Why did you do the video if you feel exhausted? It’s supposed to be just fun and simple. Not a hard and stressful task. Make a video where you just enjoy yourself without having to make money or please people as a result.
Make another video. Look at the comments you get to see what motivates subscribers and gets them to comment. Remember although Ford created the Edsel it also has the Mustang ,, the F150 and the Bronco. Some ideas don’t work as well as others . Keep posting. Make sure your topics are useful, meaningful or entertaining. Silly and stupid work on tic tic. Some channels include bloopers that run just before or with the credits.
@@EricDegaardt He's saying that the process of taking a week to produce a video with little views and income is exhausting - which it is. Not that he felt exhausted creating the video. With that being said, creating videos CAN be exhausting, and if you're full time, not every video will be done from the viewpoint of positivity and artistic expression. This is why creators have terms like "Burnout" and "Crunch". Regardless of your niche, this space is competitive, and exhaustion is a very real thing in this field.
I need help! I have a true crime/ horror narration channel. I am doing the same thing as everyone else. How can I differentiate myself from the others? I am faceless and use b roll/ real photos from the news articles. But I don't know how to stand out. I can't think of creative ideas 😢 My retention is OK on some videos but obviously need better. I am losing my job by June so would love to have my channel be a second source of income. Any advice would be very much appreciated! ❤
She has 392K subscribers but her last 3 videos average about 5,000 views. What am I missing here? Vanity metrics? Is it subscriber count that's growing her business or something else? Everything I've been reading lately says that views trump subscribers and so I pause when I see a high subscriber count but low views in comparison. So my biggest takeaway is something is not right here and I really would like ThinkMedia to discuss this in depth.
I’ve watched her over the years and honestly the demand for certain types of videos have changed. Beauty and fashion channels are soaring right now and I think they will for a long time.
You may have 400K subscribers, but if they are the type to have 150 subscriptions, they clearly can't follow them all with regularity ... plus their feeds get flooded with all those recommendations daily, so your releases may get lost in the mix. But if you make quality, and find a way to get it in front of your audience (smthn like building an email list, or discord community, may help trigger views), things will click in time.
I think some valid points have already been made. My take… some UA-camrs have been on platform for years or skyrocketed subscribers during the pandemic. It’s true subscribers don’t equate to a mass amount of views. It’s the .05-1% that do watch faithfully that matter and most likely will buy. So as example if 1% of those 5000 views per video gets her a sale it’s a win win. And as the videos continue to get watched she will get more sales over the months/years. And I’m sure she has other streams of income she has built off her brand/being an influencer ie: brand deals etc.
@@thatsjusttaraI agree! Brand deals, speaking engagements, courses. The new thing I’ve seen many big influencers are partnering with corporate businesses to help establish their social media presence.
Hey there! I'm Daniela from the ThinkMedia team, happy to connect with you and help you out. Since you are enjoying our content, I have something special for you. DM the word 'LIVE' on Sean's IG: @seancannell
I was one of her day ones and remember the first vlog. Based on the explanation, I believe I'm on track. I'm telling my story, but I am unsure if it translates. I guess time will tell.
Yeah, she grew but look at the view count. She only gets 12K max views out of them 300 plus subs. I can't stand people who sub to the channel but don't watch what is the point.
WWII generation: how can we save the world 1980s: how can we make money in finance 2000s: how can we make more money on the internet Now: how can I not better society and livestream my naked body barely moving and playing video games but top off my bank account Idiocracy is becoming real 😂
So basically you are making videos that tell people how to get more subs AND everyone wants more subs, so of course they are clicking on your videos and subscribing because they THINK (MediaTV) (see what I did there?) they are going to get more subscribers. So if everyone made videos on how to get more subscribers, they would get more subscribers... Make sense? What I do on my channel is provide content without clickbait and without misleading thumbnails because I have integrity and I am NOT trying to get subs to monetize my channel. I AM trying to get subs to engage with a community of people who are genuinely interested in the subjects that actually need light shined on them. I am trying to learn as much as I am trying to help. Make sense? I'm not pretty, I don't have all the toys such as great lighting and microphones and multi camera angles. I'm not slick. Talk about "Think", that is exactly what I am trying to do with my channel, make people THINK! Make sense? What are you doing with your money? What are you doing with your time? When are you going to focus on making yourself happy? When are you going to stop following the trends in the media and BLAZE YOUR OWN TRAIL? Make sense? We are here for a limited time, life is short, what are you doing with the time you have left? All of these UA-cam stars are boasting about all of their subs and all of the money they are making. They are waving it in your face!!! They spend every waking hour trying to figure out how to build their little UA-cam empire in to a channel FILLED WITH SUBSCRIBERS! Endless hours of scheming and planning and editing. What I want you do is get out there in the real world, show compassion to your fellow earthlings, tread lightly and stop being so absorbed in the MEDIA!!! Make sense? Come see what my channel has to offer, if you subscribe, that's great if not that's great too. Now I am done with my rant, I'm going to go outside and chop some firewood and then pay some bills and get some groceries. But I guess that's what people are supposed to do right? Makes sense!

Erin is amazing! I’ve learned a lot from her 🖤
I love her channel. I like the way you interview people with similar channels to yours.
Wow, I learned more about vlogging in this video than in all the other videos I've watched about it the last 2 years combined!!!
You truly understand only if you HIT THAT RECORD BUTTON!
just started my youtube journey officially. SO MANY GEMS HERE. Thank you!!!
She was absolutely incredible. Thank you for putting this up!
This is the first time, I've come across a video that has good VLOG growing content. I have been at 1k for so long

Love Erin on Demand! Been following her for years!
Stuck on 6k for years just hit 24 yesterday 🎉
🥳🎉 CONGRATS! 💯🔥
Sooo needed this, thanks for this video!! Our channel is slowly climbing up and we can't wait to hit our first 1K subs!! 🥰
Love Erin!!! So many nuggets of wisdom in here.. using these tips to work on my vlog this week 🫶🏾🤩
She is amazing !!!
good vlogging practices informative content

If that is what it is then that's my takeaway. If not, help me understand because Erin did a great job of convincing me that I need one!
Love her energy
Why there is 5 ads on one video?
Let’s goooooo Erin!!! This was good and very informative I will be making some changes to how I plan my volgs moving forward. Thanks Think Media 😀
Can you please do a short video on how to make an end screen? I watched your video did exactly what you said, saved changes, but for some reason the vid was still missing the end screen
So much valuable information! Thanks
Think Media. 2,985% more than previous 365 days. 😅❤ 1100 subscribers 1098 more than 1 year ago. Thanks again.😊
