Thanks working hard for it😊
I'm trying but I get no views😢
Thanks we grinding hard ourselves

I art but no cares
Keep up the good work, friends! If we keep working towards our dream, we will have fun and be successful!
You got this! 💪
@@vidIQ Thank you! I have already received a few good tips from you! Keep up the good work!
Thanks 👍

SaWEET!
Things I learned from this video. :D
1. You don't need an elaborate Intro. Just get to the thing.
2. The first 30 seconds should be where you propose your value. :D
3. Use Bright Colors in your Thumbnails
4. The *Foreground* should be brighter.
5. Minimal Clear Text is helpful!
I lose all my viewers on intro, thats why I'm gonna cut it out, and maybe say something from the intro a little bit later
@@JuneAtHomePH your welcome. :D
Tysm, I'm on that yt grind
Good information
Good insight. I've just launched my platform.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Don't let the lack of views and subscribers discourage you. Remember, success takes time and dedication. Keep creating, stay positive, and believe in yourself.
Sure...I'm on my way struggling for watchtime hours it will come
Still can’t get past 100 subs after countless amount of channels and since 2020
we need engagement with other viewers... we need help from other small channels who are searching for subs
Is 25 subs good for ur first week cuz ive just started my channel and that's my count
@@SSGGOKU_572 It's good
That's a good point that we need to keep the viewer hooked for the first 30 seconds not just (1) to encourage them to watch more of the video but also (2) so the UA-cam algorithm/recommendation systems starts recommending the video to others.
I didn't really think about it like that before.
The swiped away/stayed ratio and the retention rate are two things that guarantee a viral video/short, work on those
@@therealestatestory nowadays 15 sec
True!!
Very hard to get first 1000 subscribers even after working to hard
Keeping videos short and up to the point is even better than the hook. A 40 second bug compilation is really good.
Exactly, well said VidIQ. Success is not only hard-work but smart-work. UA-cam is a business, seeking for engaging content. Make videos about what people care, and put energy in what matters!
Very true!
Sometimes I have to completely finish a thumbnail to realize that it's not good enough, but that's part of the process! Going through multiple rounds of revisions is normal, and only helps improve your end results.
I've been focusing a lot more on thumbnails lately and my newest video is doing far better than the rest of it's series since I got to the change on it sooner. Now I'll see how the rest do as I upload under a better schema overall. I've been making the mistake of keeping the intro reading in for my series up to this point as well and that will be dropping in my videos from now on as well. Was listening to the one that didn't have it and it really was just a better experience.
I saw some of you in the comments section of the new channel makers video, I see you're an ardent learner of the UA-cam platform! Keep on keeping on, searching for new knowledge, learning and moving forward. You're going to make it!. Very soon. It's going to be your time my friend...very soon.
We got this
Excellent points & great advice for all creators, big and small. Stay strong everyone, always strive to be better and success will follow! 💪🏻😄
There's so much value I get from this video as I just started to get monetized last month. Makes me feel 3x better and motivated to just keep improving. Subbed! Great stuff!
congratulations! how long did it take you?
Another wholesome and very helpful video. Hope these awesome tips and trick can help all of our channels grow and gain more views. I've dropped 4 vlogs out and slowly improving with each video/short. The youtube journey is an endless learning curve but as long we improve and have learnt something new each video, then I'd say we're winning!
THANKS VidIQ!!
Thank you for watching! 😊
I have signed up with VidIq some time ago and watched all their videos and completed their academy and i can finally see some changes in my own channel. I observe and analyse better the content i watch to get inspiration and i can see small improvements finally. Get the highest first 30 sec % you can, get a decent CTR and make a video that can get at least 30% of retention time. I found those to be the essentials for my channel. Thanks for making those amazing videos!
Now I know everything how to start my channel! Keep up the great work!
I'm glad you guys made this video! We're pretty new to all this but I was already thinking that I need to cut the fluff at the beginning of our videos and I've got the encouragement now. I'll definitely be investing more time into Thumbnails and titles and the first 30 secs. Our videos average a CT rate of 3%. Hoping to see that increase somewhat.
Thanks yet again for another insightful video VidIQ!
We are always happy to help!

My intro is only 2 seconds in duration.
Even if the views aren't pouring in right away, perseverance is key. 🙏
Are you monetized already?
VidIQ doesn’t miss! I need to jump right into the content better. Great suggestion!
Hello, I have a question and I need help, my case is the following, I have a channel dedicated to a soccer video game with more than 60 videos but now I decided to change the niche of my channel, now I will dedicate my channel to soccer news Will it be possible to be successful and have UA-cam recommend my videos or is it useless to change the niche? Thank you very much I hope you answer me, I am afraid that UA-cam will not recommend my videos due to the algorithm and that it will take into account my data from my old videos which are from another niche.
"Just focus on the value of your content". Great message!!
If you see this know your on the right path. Keep putting out content that makes you happy and try and improve on that a little everyday! Tell your story the best way you know how!UA-cam is a marathon not a sprint. VidIQ is the best place to come get information and tips of your building a channel. Thanks VIdIQ!
I just wanna say that these videos are really helpful and that I appreciate it a lot.
We are glad to be helpful! 🤩
Retention time is definitely hard but for me the most important thing is CTR. Generally, if my videos stay around 5% of CTR, they perform average but if the CTR goes around 10%, I get 2-5X more views. So, I invest around 30 minutes to an hour making the best thumbnail and title combo.
Great strategy, keep going!
How do you know what a good Thumbnail and title combo are?
Ok so if my ctr is 31%, it looks good for me.
@@Dogslover_. That's insanely high.
@@user-zf3xe8vi7m My strategy is to put curiosity into the viewer's mind. I give them some hints by making a general title but in the thumbnail, I try to add something specific which is related to the title but only the video could explain that.
The fastest and best way to grow fast in my opinion (I was only 11 when I did this and I went to getting 1 sub per week to getting 2-10 subs per day) is to find a niche that has almost no competition (just a few vids about it with the best performing getting at least several thousands of views) that’s very specific and make ur whole channel about it and once u have a fan base slowly expand. Sadly I began taking breaks once I was getting success but I am gonna return to making vids now. The technique I use can only be done if your vids are as good or even better than the best performing ones in the niche when you first start out.
yes absolutely all you've said are 100 correct! I am still learning and improving my video editing, video content and always learned from my mistake. thank u for sharing this content!
You got this! 💪

Hi, I created a channel with shorts , documentaries. I noticed that since January 2023, ever since monetization was opened to shorts, my views have dropped a lot. Also in January 2023 I started to use chatGPT to create my scripts and the scripts sound so well to me that I don't change them. What would be the problem? Should I stop using chatGPT? My channel has no monetization . Is there a website or anything to tell me if I provide any value to my audience and if I need to change something? Am I going in the right direction? Thanks

We must put in the work to get 1% better! 👍🏾 🎥
Go for it! 💪
Keep pushing, be consistent.
We got this 👍
Don’t give up
Thanks for the tips! I will continue the grind💪
Good Luck to you reading this!
cheers, good luck to you too!
Let's never stop Growing Y'all 💪
right, I agree with everything that you've said VidIQ, like retention and standing out (making views know who you are), However, how do we be unique, and how do we keep retention going?
I got a copyright strike for uploading a video, but the thing is everyone did the exact same thing as me but they didn't get any repercussions what should I do???
ON MY WAY TO 1000K HOPE TO SEE US ALL THERE SOON!
Thanks VidIQ
This is the best idea that the small channel should do, Thank you so much vidIQ for always provide the best idea 👍👍👍👍
You need to be able to get a decent push in the first 24 hours for the video to be pushed out further. If you're unable to get a few people to watch your video in the first 24 hours (I think a good amount is if views reach 10% of your sub count in the first 24 hours) then UA-cam will decrease future impressions and thus future views.
True 👍
I've experienced the opposite actually. First 24hrs, nothing, then after 48hrs the video gets some traction. I think the UA-cam experience is different for each creator.
@@waystofortunes Literally nothing? I've never seen a video get views if it can't even reach double digits in its first 24 hours
Can someone tell me why my SHORTS get pushed out to the country of my origin not to people living in the US (target audience because of basketball content)?
Nothing is easy. Keep up the good work and consistency. We are in this together. We can do this ^^
I don’t think UA-cam really helps new small channels 😒. I started a channel last year and began posting shorts videos and I was getting over 1K views on almost every video and then all of a sudden every shorts I’d posted would get 0 views 🤣. I stopped posting again after a few months and I started getting back views with the highest being over 5K and now all of a sudden I’m back to getting 0 views. I’m literally confused about this because if it wasn’t for this I’d be close or pass that 1K sub mark.
It gets better Dude! Keep going and reinvent yourself! Try new ideas and have fun with it. This is your story your telling and only you know how to tell it. I’ve had similar ups and downs in views but the best kept rule is…. Consistency. Best of luck Dude! You got this.
@@Jdiroe I really really appreciate it. That means a lot and I wish you nothing but success as well. Really appreciate the kind words.
I don't think anybody really knows how the algorhythm works. I think it is very much the luck of the draw. I saw new channels explode within 6 months. 275k subscribers. Bad thumbnails, no editing, no search terms in titles, content not over the top special. She is already wearing brand name jackets in rural China. 🤷♀️
@@SonetLandman Yeah, it’s definitely a mystery. But I’ll keep going and just hope for the best.
Thank you VidIQ. I’m using your app and it’s really helpful
I have never been so invested in my UA-cam channels in the past but I have a good feeling about this one. This is going to be the big one!
Thank you for helping small content creator.
God bless us all.
I honestly disagree with the statement that "UA-cam does not owe me anything" because if UA-cam puts adds on my videos although I am not (yet) monetized then I really do think that UA-cam owe me a share of that add-revenue. Furthermore UA-cam's Shorts are horrible: no option to set desired thumbnail AND each shorts video "platoes" at certain amount of viewing; clearly indicating non-organic algorithm. And at the very end: Go ahead and admit it: Shorts belong to TikTok NOT on UA-cam!
Thanks again! I can use y'all videos for my advantage to help me become a better creator. Thank you!
I've started my channel around a month ago, and i got 1K subscribers in a month aswell.. But I'm still optimistic to learn more and more about UA-cam.
Congrats 👍👍
I'm definitely going to take all of this in to consideration. Over 2 years and only 100 subs on this channel and less than 100 on my other channels.
Great content Vidiq ,I have a force to keep going. The person who read this ,keep going until you break your limit 🥶,the 👑 is yours
You got this!
I hope so tysm your a legend
While retention is the reason why I edit the life out of my videos, the fact that the end product looks and feels amazing not only to the viewer but to me is what keeps me editing for hours on end. For example my next video is in its final editing phase and in theory I could upload it now, but I want to edit it some more to make it so much better. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Oh yah
I appreciate the helpful advice in this video, which outlines the common mistakes that small channels should avoid to increase their viewership. The practical tips and insights shared here are invaluable for aspiring creators looking to grow their audience.
absolutely true!
I was getting a bit disillusioned that only 33% of people made it to the end of my videos, but I’m only quite new to this.
Actually quite encouraging to see this is normal even for big channels!
I’ll keep trying to make my videos better and maybe worry a bit less about retaining every single viewer.
Plus excellent video - I’ve picked up some new tips to improve too!! 👍🏻
Provide value to the platform and viewers. That’s very important. UA-cam loves people who love UA-cam.
Hey, thank you. I'm really bad at making titles, so I really appreciate the help😅
You definitely deserved my subscription
I've been really trying to work on the hook portion lately. 1% better each time, right. Thank you for this quick video with some GREAT tips.
Thanks for the tip!
Good video.
I figred they UA-cam Was Changing on shorts feeds so I did Some hastags and Not But How does it get on the Foryoupage
I'm going to buy max next month. Your info has been helping me in my growth my first month doing this. Thanks so much and I'll talk to you guys soon!
Thanks for the tips! Will definitely apply them to my small channel! Hope it eventually makes a difference. Keep up the great advice!
Excellent tips for small channels! Thank you for sharing this invaluable advice. Avoiding these mistakes can make a significant difference in growing our channels and reaching a wider audience. Your insights and strategies are incredibly helpful for creators like myself who are looking to make an impact. Keep up the fantastic work, vidIQ, and thank you for supporting the growth of small channels! 👍👍
Keep going and don't give up on your channel. Consistency is the key. Fighting 💪
There's so much I'm learning from your channel. Thank you!
I'm glad this video didn't keep the valuable info all the way at the end, but kept it consistent throughout.
You guys are so helpful! I've been following your advice for a week now and I got like 30 more subscribers and around 6k more views in total!
Great video guys! What about UA-cam shorts since you cannot choose a thumbnail yet? Is there a better way to get views with shorts? I have had a couple get a few thousand views but some just fall flat. Thanks y'all for the info and help with these videos and keep up the great work. 😁
The hook is still a big problem for me along with my thumbnails . I can’t seem to hook line & sinker the viewer . How do I do so?
Intro graphics are actually pretty cool sometimes if done right
Good tips on gathering the viewer's interest at the start!
wanted to say thank you for the tips. I make alot of mistakes on my channel I do learn.
Good advice. I will use it
Just starting out with UA-cam and I'm guilty of some of these for sure. Thanks for the tips! Got to walk before you can run I suppose....
This was very helpful to us, thanks!
Just keep uploading, making mistakes, and learning from them. JUST. DO. IT.
I uploaded my first video on UA-cam 13 years ago. It now has a million views and earned me subscribers and watch hours to get monetized. BUT -- UA-cam won't monetize me over a single video that even had a copyright strike. (I only started really making UA-cam videos a week ago.)
So, I'm now back to square one. Figuring out what videos I like to make, and what my audience would like to see. Since I have a ton of ideas and am not so sure who my audience is, I figured --- what do I want to watch on UA-cam? Maybe, I'd start there.
VidIq I have a question what is the music in the beginning called? I need to use it in my videos.
Great point! Thank you vidIQ!
Just started my channel a couple weeks ago!! This is great! I give it a good year or so 🎉
Question please, what is classed as a small channel? 500? 1000? 10000?
Vidiq and other UA-camrs have helped me a lot
Thank you VidIq. Cause of your positive motivation. I am going to schedule another video today. ☺️
True, youtube is definitely a hard thing to do. But VidIQ keeps us going :D
Thanks. My channel keeps growing daily. Thanks to your teachings.
We are happy to help 😊
Wait the music on the intro- Im sure Ive heard it on Ryan Traham's Videos
Honestly, really struggling with motivation at the moment as my shorts have gone from getting around 1k views to less than a hundred 😭 your videos help to keep me inspired and determined, so thank you. Hopefully one day I can have a successful channel!
Try 1-5 views.
@@SparkyBuilt ah sorry that that's happening for you. Do you have Vidiq installed? I've been experimenting with my titles and find that helps. I always make sure I get 50/100 for the tags/keywords and titles
Nice one! Thanks for sharing 👍
I once tried my hand on uploading a thumbnail on one of my more recent videos. If I would've figured it out sooner, I would've done it.
I've started making Roblox funny contents 2 years ago, i am an 11 year old Roblox content creator since 2021, the first video i did was so bad that i privated it (ofc i didn't deleted it). Bu, after that 2 years, i started improving, my editings us improved, my thumbnails is improved, and my titles is kinda improved. I never gave up doing this, i kept trying and trying and trying, no matter what, NEVER give up.
I have been on youtube shorts for about 1 year now, but I have kinda been on and off about youtube the whole time but now I want to make a career of it. I wish I spent the time I did not want to make videos on youtube. Remember to never give up on your channel and no matter how long time it takes. We all start somewhere and nothing is impossible to acheive as long as you put in the effort it takes over time
Thanks for the tips, I just started a channel and it has already helped me 😁
I was never under the delusion that UA-cam "owed" me 1,000 subscribers, but that was something I always wished to have, and I still do now.
Ive been stuck on the same number for like 6 months now
UA-cam is CRAZY Hard! But SUPER Rewarding, you will burn out, you will be deflated, but if you listen to your audience and give them what they want, you WILL make it, so keep on trucking!
Thanks 👍keep going we got this
Thanks for your guidance.
Hoping that these tips will help me progress and at the same time ill work hard to get to that point 🙏 and to those that are just like me, never give up!
Thanks vidiq for the advice I will applied the info to my channel
thank you mate you are saving lives
4:19 that is so helpful. Thanks
How many videos do I need to upload to be notice? Seems like all of my videos aren't visible to the public viewers yet unless you search the name of the channel.
Thank you for the advice. .
I'm watching all the videos I can...so much good info out there! Thank you 😊
super thanks again! i do the same.. learning from my mistake.
u explained everything really nicely thx mate :)
Would you advise making scripts for yt vids?
Thank you for the tips! We got this guys! 👊🏻
do good things so that good things come to you... only this comforts me and gives me the desire not to give up
