I have over 300 videos and I am at 7k+ subs. Roberto is 100% right It takes time, the subs takes time but you do need to post those videos because you are against a lot of other creators likely in the same niche as you so you need more videos to stand out. If people like the content, they will follow along the way. I also believe focusing on 1 niche on your channel helps with the subs. If you drift to many niches, you could mix up your viewers and they drop off. You got this people!
I wish it was as easy as this. This is our first time creating a cooking channel. Everytime nothing happened (barely 100 subs after 1-2 years)… but your video gives me so much hope, thank you so much!
Great advice as always! It took me at least 4 years to get to 1000subs. I made a lot of really bad videos in that time but I also learned a lot too. As a new creator its quantity over quality hands down because we dont even know what quality actually really means.
That is more or less my approach on this channel too. I am about 30 subs away from 1,000 and need to just a watch time boost before I get monetized. My goal is to hit that in the next 90 days or less.

It's nice to listen to all the tip you shared. I started YT quite long ago but I gave up, made a lot of excuses. Now I start over again and give it all I got bc I quited my job so YT now becomes my job. I would love to grow my YT faster. Thank you for sharing. Love from Vietnam
This is another super helpful video. This is quite a strategic approach. I'd forgotten about the Pareto principle and how it can also apply to UA-cam. However, I think doing 2 videos per week is still a tough lift for most people. You did say that it might be tough for a lot of people but hard to disagree that it is good advice. Again, so glad you still have a good pulse on the working-class UA-camr. Also, I am a big believer in call-to-actions. It's not too much to ask and well understood in the YT community.
I started taking my channel more serious around 6 months ago and to be honest every thing Roberto said in this vid is 100% correct, I'm starting to see results now that ive implemented some of the strategies, glad I found this video as it just confirms most of what I already believed works to be successful on UA-cam, keep bringing the great content Roberto 👊👊❤🔥
i’m 3+ years on UA-cam and have not reached 4 k watch time, yet I’m still here. Keep going, guys, don’t give up! Best wishes to all the small channels out Let’s go!
I watch you from Romania, from long time. Very true what you said in this video. I'm almost close to 100 video (98) and almost close to 1K sub. Congrats for this video and for all your work on your channel! ✌
I'm trying to grow, and it is so difficult, but you are a motivation to me. Thank you! I will try to follow your advice. I'm concerned because when I started uploading videos, I got a lot of views. But right now, I'm getting only a few. I do not know what is happening.
@RobertoBlake For me it was the fact that you aren't just selling an idea, you are pushing for a result. It's a no- nonsense approach to get what we are all after: better results.
I think people would be shocked at the pages of notes I write… I have enough material for 10 books. I’m not exaggerating . 10 books, 40,000 to 60,000 words each…
Great advice! However, in my experience, the quality of content (value) is what will get you far, earning both views and subscribers. If you just make content because you want to hit a higher quantity, then know that the algorithm will keep putting you out of the light 💡
like I commented on the last video, the "0 shown in feed" is the problem and it's impossible to win even tho I'm implementing all the things you mention. you told me to check the restricted mode and it's off. now I understand why some people say it's a lucky game. because some get views and some don't even when doing everything right.
Thanks for the advice! Do you have any tips for walking channels? I’m in the walking niche, based in NJ near NYC. I’ve noticed live streams of people walking around NYC, some lasting up to 12 hours, and they seem to work well for building channels in this space. I want to focus on both NYC and NJ walks while growing the Pibry brand, especially Pibry AIX (AI). A big part of my mission is to inspire more people to stay active and embrace walking.
Just found your content and find it very helpful. Across a couple vids you mention majority of people will get 1k subs before the 4k watch hours. Would love to hear a discussion of the minority with the opposite. For example we are in travel niche and slooowly getting there one sub at a time, but we have 15k watch hours. Wondering how many out there are like us and why.
How do you feel about content where no one is making the same kind of content in your niche so they aren't proven topics but it's getting views as proven by your own analytics? The reason I made this channel was to do something with a topic I know about that I don't see anywhere else.
Hey Roberto, can you do a video analysis on Moon Kim? He just uploaded his first video to his channel and is gaining an insane amount of traction. Around 6% of his viewers subscribed to his channel.
So Retention Rate Percentage = Average View Duration (in Seconds) Divided by Length of Video (in seconds) ..... is that correct? ..... Don Javier from Houston, Texas
@ mrbeast is being sued for a few things. Dealing with UA-cam and things not UA-cam. As well as his lottery running. As for the honey thing I hope legal eagle brings home the win.
I’m at 1.3K subs … hit 1K in November, but still working on watch hours…currently at 2,572…more than halfway there, building slowly. This channel is very informative.

Sorry for the extra messages. My app wigged out
Subbed!
Gotta be patient with this. I'm at around 600. I will not change my style to please others and be a copycat of popular formats, my content is raw.
That is more or less my approach on this channel too. I am about 30 subs away from 1,000 and need to just a watch time boost before I get monetized. My goal is to hit that in the next 90 days or less.
Yeah I didn't like what he said about copying thumbnails in your niche. Sounds lazy and unoriginal. However alot of what he said sounded correct.
The retention is key because youtube will push your content to more people if the retention rate is high so focus on that mainly
Raw watch time. Retention is a proxy for that.
Subbed!
The hardest thing...is waking up with no new subscribers.😢
I started my channel last year around may on 18 subs but I’m trusting the process all the way through 🔥

Intentionality and strategy is really needed. Good luck for your channel. 🎉

Good analysis and advice. Thanks!
I have to admit, you make really good videos.
Glad you like them!
Great advice! However, in my experience, the quality of content (value) is what will get you far, earning both views and subscribers.
If you just make content because you want to hit a higher quantity, then know that the algorithm will keep putting you out of the light 💡
Right! It’s about reaching a balance of quality and quantity!
Value to the viewer is the most important thing. I make distinction between that and quality because of intention/attraction… vs experience/retention

What is your stance on Time Stamps?
They are great for information content and not particularly helpful for entertainment, necessary for podcast and live streak replays
The hardest thing...is waking up with no new subscribers.😢
It just means you need to make videos that find your audience. Keep at it and you will 😀
The list of top creators all are being sued at this point in time. Not great examples in my opinion. Video is still good however
To my knowledge it’s only MrBeast. Marques is part of suing Honey not being sued over it. PewDiePie isn’t being sued by anyone.
@ mrbeast is being sued for a few things. Dealing with UA-cam and things not UA-cam. As well as his lottery running. As for the honey thing I hope legal eagle brings home the win.
