    To every creator, don't give up! You never know if the next video you publish or one of your old ones gets pushed into the algorithm. My recent video blew up out of nowhere and gained me 10 times the views of my most popular video. Just keep making content and enjoy the ride. I hope you all succeed in 2024!

    I've been posting videos for almost 2 years now, and there have been times when I didn't post anything for 3 months. From what I've understood so far, I can say this: trust in your content, my friends, and maintain consistency. I believe that the rest will come naturally in the end. Who else thinks this way? Keep Fighting ! 💪

    🔥This video is a goldmine for small channels like mine, feeling a bit stuck in 2024. Your breakdown of the stages of a UA-cam channel's growth, coupled with the latest strategies, is exactly what I needed. The emphasis on getting discovered and focusing on intriguing thumbnails over detailed tags is a massive shift in strategy. I'm definitely going to start making two thumbnails per video and experiment with length and authenticity in my content. The insights on community engagement through the community tab were eye-opening too! This is the roadmap to unstuck my channel and I'm ready to roll with it! 🌟🚀

    Great video, I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. Otherwise, you are going to be far behind everyone else, and eventually quit. Even though I am not beginner anymore, I know how hard it could be (and if I haven't used a lot of Famester, I would have quit my journey a long time ago as well). It made everything much more easier, especially getting over subs and views requirements to get monetized.

      @paultaylorphotography9499 3 місяці тому +1

      For the longest time I thought subs was the way to grow, then I realised with personally around 2200 subs and generally far far less views, subs don't really matter so much, which makes sense over the years I've watched so many channels in my field and subscribed to them all yet in reality I only regularly watch a chosen few. I have one video that has gone really well over 58k views but from that only 95 folk subscribed, man if only they hit that sub button.....would it make that much difference? I really have no idea, generally no idea about much at all to be fair.

  • @GeoTactics

    You touched upon it... and I had a conversation with YT a few weeks ago. What matters is the META data. What is that? It's a combination of the title, description, tags, what classification you give the video (for example depictions of violence if it is a war history video) AND the thumbnail. These I believe are being looked at both by human and AI on their end. I also believe that if anyone submits a complaint it will equally affect the channel because a person will then look at the META data manually and decide to demonetize or throttle back the content (and yes they do that through various ways like simply not letting it get out to similar viewers). So it is the META data. Tags may only play a small part, but it is important what your title says and what description you have.

Just one question though (which I doubt will get answered but I’ll try anyway!): You recommend targeting Browse and Suggested instead of Search. How exactly do you do that and differentiate the two?

    Ive found one of the hardest things so far is getting stuck into video habits even though you can see it isnt making much progress from the channel. I myself have only just managed to force myself to change things up after a few months of knowing i needed to, but not being able to. Now going to focus on the few things that were doing well, experiment with some other stuff and really try focus on my CTR and retention on the videos that i am now trying.

I dream of a day when "clickbait FIESTA" will be gone and who ever will still be doing it will simply be punished. sorry for this rant but there are so many of these bad actors out there. @Rob you are our true mentor thank you for your commitment and always decent advise 🙏

    Imagine you're an avid fisherman casting your line into the river. Each video you post on UA-cam is like adding another fishing rod to the water - more opportunities to attract viewers are similar to having multiple lines in the river. Just as additional rods increase your chances of catching more fish, regularly posting videos can enhance your visibility, drawing in a larger audience and increasing your chances of reeling in more views and subscribers.

    This related shorts can be really powerful.
    An idea many creators aren't really talking about is using the related feature to do affiliae marketing. Link the short to an unlisted video showing off a product or service, niche related of course, and getting tons of clicks on your affiliate links. All you would have to worry about is making a short go viral. Im currently trying this out and I have everything in place except the viral short. But Im still working on that.

    Long time viewer, first time commentor. Great video as always. But if you're taking suggestions for video ideas, I would like to suggest something about the contrast between the likes of gaming channels who can upload lots of videos every week, and other types of channels (animation, travel, ect) that can take maybe two weeks to a month to just produce one video.
    That's the issue I'm thinking about at the moment with my own channel. Recently, I've been doing one video a month, but I'm going to be bumping that up to two a month this year. My problem is, because of the nature of my channel, my videos take quite a while to produce; pick a historical site to visit, go there and record (normally for over half an hour), write a script (which is basically a history paper), edit, make thumbnails, ect. I'm worried that it may have an effect on the growth of my channel, especially in the beginning if viewers are not willing to wait around for two weeks at a time to watch my videos, especially if they aren't that familiar with my channel.
    I apologies for the long message, but if you could heart so I know you've seen it, I would really appreciate it. Always enjoy the content and I'm looking forward to the next one :)

Not sure if I'll try shorts again, one thing I'm definitely doing from now on though is making my content tighter no more faff that doesn't need to be in there, I want to keep my vids short and sharp from now on. The community tab suggestion is good I like the idea I did a few community posts a while ago and the community ignored me haha might be a hint there. Keep at it creators no surrender.

    I'm very curious about how I can apply this knowledge to a music channel. I almost didn't find anything related to that. Because the title will be the name of the song, and the thumbnail is something that cannot be more than the artwork itself. I would really appreciate if you have some advice regarding how to grow a channel like this. Thank you very much.
