Literally, no one cares. Not even youtube unless you're making ads.
Yep
I absolutely love this thumbnail. "Nobody cares" lmao. And it's just the raw truth. In a lot of ways, it's freeing. Nobody cares (especially at the beginning) so go create whatever you believe you need to create!
Im am 65 and my business partner older. We just started and thank you for your time. It fun and we love doing what we know "Model Aircraft and Aviation" we do it as an extra and love the feedback through all our channels.
I started my channel with similar ‘oh god hope no one I know sees this’ vibes but after a while I thought ‘meh it’s all good’. One day someone in town came up to me and said ‘hey are you on UA-cam?’ Which I thought was funny lol.
I started UA-cam because I always wanted to. I just think it's the time to start one and not be afraid anymore on other people's opinion. I enjoyed it and it's making me happy. 💚
I started my channel for myself, to see if I can do it, and also mostly, to have fun with what I love the most. And shortly after I started getting subscribers, some views, and well .... now I really want to grow and succeed, because this is something I enjoy doing with my free time. Thank you for these tips, I am gonna try them on my channel. Let the numbers and fun grow.
I’m actually more afraid for being judged by total strangers xd then by friends and family but is a risk I’m willing to take so I’m already editing some things loved this advice thank you so much for sharing it
I just hit 500k subs TODAY ! :D Im so happy, even no one other cares. There is still huge space to improve my content, it will be a lot of work for sure but its a great adventure to improve your channel. Good luck to everyone else to reach your goals ❤
Congrats! (Don't know why no one said this to you! Probably really.. no one cares?
i was scared to start youtube because i knew that i would never get any views and subs, but eventually i just started one anyway, and i am surprised how i actually don’t care that much about low views and subs. i really just like making videos and even gaining one new subscriber per week is a nice feeling!
thanks for a great video by the way!
I understand how you feel. Sometime it's just great creating content without worrying about how people think.
When hiring someone to edit your videos, do you need to provide them with the pictures and videos you want to be included in the video, or do they select the best footage and images for you during the editing process?
I have a fear that I wouldn't be "employable" with my videos but I will still continue to upload because I believe the people for you will support you and or not care at all. Thanks for the video!
It definitely is true, even if you're started and or have small channels... the goals will always be "value" I think there's no way to chase the adsense money... it will come eventually... provide value to your viewers and give them a reason to pay for things you can provide.
Wow this was so good, so clear. Thank you! Just found your channel 🌻👍
Great video. Love the editing style and flow of it all. Keep up the powerful work.
You are really an epitome of what you say in this video. This provides a lot of "value".
I totally relate to your last point about no one could edit my videos the way I want it but I definitely agree with your point! I spent so much time editing my videos and it is probably not as good as if a professional edits my videos but I still hold back! I have to start outsourcing it and focus more on creating more videos! 🤩
Very valuable. I think you explain it differently than a lot of other people. Subbed and looking forward to more!
Great information! Just starting off my journey. Personal development niche given my military leadership background! Awesome content. Thank you 🎉
Never thought about the Thumbnail part!
Dear Oscar, Great Information, I wanted to express my gratitude for the incredible training you've provided. It's been an amazing learning journey, packed with insightful information. Thank you!
Soon we will all achieve our dreams. Cheer Up!! 🙌🙌
cheer!
❤😊
Cheers!
I did the same thing. I didn't tell anyone about my UA-cam channel for about a year. Then I got mixed reactions...
Kind of wished I kept it secret now.
Still going at it 1.5 years with 1300+ subs...
Appreciate your advice. Have been applying it.
Keep going!
Concise and useful summary 👍
The metrics you should be looking at
Average View Duration
and Returning Viewers
That small change in my mindset got me off 1-100 views and >100 subs to already 1,2k and thousands of views, 3 new shorts hitting my all time record in single week
Rev if you don't want a course could be affiliate products and/or streaming
I do memes and Gaming and started doing like realistic path
currently looking for an editor but since I was doing just shots and lifestream I want to make one or couple of videos to have examples of what I will be looking for when it comes to editors, I'm starting to make some money but I still didn't hit the threshhold to withdraw money, I will have to put money from donates at 1st before I could be paying editors
Great video that helps reestablish the focus needed to keep pushing forward with my channel (that needs all the help i can get lol) 🙏👍
The quote you mentioned from the guy, is originally by Eleanor Roosevelt. It’s mentioned in the book Understanding Suicide by Chad Taylor
Great video, thanks for making it!
You're 100 percent going to be bigger than filmbooth, I honestly almost didn't want to comment because I don't want other people to find you hahahaha. I'm getting these comments in early so when you do release a course, a paid course, that I would ALREADY pay for from the videos you've made, but it's still cheap as you've just started, I get first dibs. Seriously man, truly epic content. None of that begineer nonsense this is intermeditate to even expert level and this is what I need. Long gone are the days where I was looking for information on SEO or search terms or CTR, I need that next level stuff and you're providing it in the best way I've seen so far. Well done lad, keep it up, I'll be here, everytime. I'm off to do your free course, which is just insane to me that it's free but don't change it yet hahaha. Just one point though that really holds me back, my videos take me a very long time to edit, due to this reason, I get analysis paralysis on which video idea to go with next because if it flops, it sucks, I can't lie, but... I'm also not at the point of being able to afford an editor. It's not ideal currently but I'll get there haha. Peace. 😎
This is his smaller channel, he already has over 1.5 mil subs on his other one so no worries about nobody else finding him! :D
@@luvhair255 Oh woah does he??? What's his channel dude? And yeah I suppose that makes no difference then he's going to be found regardless 😂
This hidden metric is the most inportant also in my perspective! Great video!
I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience ❤
Love from India Oscar ❤
Love your editing style very simple
Good one! Especially the "no one cares" part is very true and liberating. It's the reason I took the leap. A bit frustrating sometimes that few care but still, liberating 😂 good stuff
so your saying no one cares so why did u care to make this comment reemind me not to meet you i like people with brains
When and how should I remind you if we don't meet or stay in touch?
Hej there @@IvoryEmbassy . I imagined that when I post my first video somewhere between one person and the world would see. It was this feeling that everyone would tune in. Lesson One complete.
Another thing I didn't imagine was just how much fun making videos would be. People don't really watch them...but I do.
You are correct; Liberating! Have a great weekend!
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals, Hallå! I agree. One of my biggest hurdles before starting was my implicit fear of the response of ex-colleagues and ex-bosses. That resolved as soon as I realized few would even pay attention. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the weekend!
Care isnt initial, it is given with time
You need establishment first to win over the hearts of others
It's quite literally warning and having connections with people in the first place too
So if nobody cares being yourself (while being the best you, you can be) is the greatest way to attract the people you want and vise versa
Thanks for the awesome advice.
Thank you for sharing 😊
An eye opening, trying to improve more on creating vid❤
Thanks for this wonderful video
Do you suggest to only outsource when you start making money on UA-cam? And upgrading equipment etc
what do you think about editing - if content is valuable do you really need hooky editing as a newbie its hard to be working full time doing youtube and all the behind the scenes when you don;t yet have resources to outsource. What would be some simple editing tips that a newbie can use?
Hey, love your videos. Lots of great advice. Do you do your own editing and are all your videos done infront of a green screen?
that's the most authentiv youtube advice video, i have ever seen. thank you
Nice share and info about how to grow and yes it helps me something.
Amazing video. Top tier
Bro can you make a video talking on how your video is edited... what!!
Your editing is a whole revolution ❤
Thanks for this.
Thank you very helpful 🫡
Great tips for us newbie content creators. Thx
This is cool editing. Do you edit your videos on your own, or do you have an editor. I couldn't make these edits with capcut
He’s a magician ✨
Bro u earned a sub😉
Okay but we won't be able to create videos like this I mean editing and and story telling experience is the key
But your advice is truly amazing and helpful ❤
Absolutely thank you
Thanks!!
When it comes to UA-cam-thumbnails I think we are right between the ending of an old trend of super-polished highly edited thumbnails and the beginning of a counter-trend of natural unedited thumbnails (and videos)! People are getting more and more sick and tired of those overly edited video- and thumbnail-styles and are craving more raw authentic footage and thumbnails.
The UA-camr "The Wizard Liz" is a perfect example for this! She grew to 5 million subcribers within a year by just creating raw unedited videos with subtitles. That's it! As thumbnails she just uses some screenshots from her videos! People argue that her being pretty is what caused her success but I disagree. 1) There's MILLIONS of pretty girls out there, lots of them even prettier but they haven't NEARLY the success that she has! 2) The topics that she talks about aren't of any interest to men but to young girls. With MILLIONS of videos from other pretty women available here on UA-cam and other platforms like OF, etc, I highly doubt the group who would click on her thumbnails because "thirst trap" and regulary sit through the her whole videos.
There's this other UA-camr (I forgot his name, sam something?) who is a bodybuilder and films himself working out and just uploads raw unedited footage and thumbnails which seems to work because (I guess) people find him more relatable?
Oh wow, I just saw you just uploaded a video about the new thumbnail style...going to watch it now!👍
This is a great video!
The hidden metric bit was so true, going to hark back to that anytime i'm planning on making a video
Thanks for this great video😊🙏
I’d like to add that you NEED to define “value”. This differs depending on your channel. Is it entertainment? Is is money saving?
Great Value!
good take
Keep up bro
What is the advice on length of videos for new channels?
Thanks, fantastic video! Ive only just started after being into fitness for over 15 years, thought why not just make a channel based around this, people i know in the industry and gyms around the country. I simply feel creative again, filming and editing teaching myself. If someone likes my content thats amazing, if not thats absolutely fine 😊
Thank you❤
Really helpful
fantastic
so true!
Thanks man i hope me too can cope up someday
Thank You
what a vid man!!!
that is realy great thank you
I subscribed. 5k now here.
10K now...three days out. Pretty cool. Wishing everyone more successes !
CONGRATS!@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals
@@medavogI think he meant this channel. Anyway, congrats on 5k, I’m at 194 right now :)
I'm the 1kth thumbs up 😊
Maybe I should make a video on how to Edit like Oscar Owen 🤔 on my Colourist Underground channel 🤔
Great video 😎 New sub and yes… no one gives a Shat
Great advice. What's your magic channel?
This is relatable...I too started my channel last week & decided not to tell my close friends. Is this a good idea? Should i try to tell anyone I know to promote my channel?
very nice video
This really made me think twice about my channel.. specificly the value tip. I feel different when I upload now. I have 117 subscribers
How can I make a mini course like the one you did in your link in the description? Do you have a video about that? Like what's the best platform to use to do so and maybe related costs? That would help a lot thanks.
It's easy to do. I cover a lot of that on my channel...
Essential you just need a way to get paid. You can even do everything manually in the beginning... With PayPal, email and maybe a Facebook group.
The people don't care as long as you can help them to get the result they want...
Nice
I also haven’t told anyone I have a yt, although my brother somehow found it and told everyone about it
Valuable thoughts, thanks for sharing:). #noonecares
Your using green screan and the two lights are not actually behind you but are out of frame and you put a image of the lights behind you? Thats what I was thinking about while watching.
I think the people who work on UA-cam need to improve this website in any way, shape, or form, especially with shadowbanning people for expressing certain opinions and earning money, as you said in your video about shorts, people don't earn money they could've made with shorts only.
Do a video about faceless UA-cam channel
One more thing, there is a better way of framing the no one cares thing and I've done it from the very start, "I don't even care if they do care" I told everyone instantly because I literally couldn't even give 1% of a sh*t what anyone thinks about it hahaha, that's the ultimate hack.
I started doing videos with all of this in mind to be honest, but I was quite flustered when I learned how the impressions worked, as it shows the thumbnail randomly to people whether or not they actually are into it. My channel is about story-telling on the Project Zomboid niche, but because it's gaming and it's oversaturated, most people assume it's just another playthrough.
I initially wanted to just do videos about hyped video games when they came out, just to realise the overwhelming supply on these videos.
And as I was playing this game when I started the channel 2 months ago I thought it was a good idea to go into the storytelling, roleplaying niche.
At this point I just want to be seen. As this project was simply a work of passion. And my worry is that only the current subscribers I have will be able to enjoy it.
Will your course be able to cover my current concerns? As you said, money is money, and if I could monetize the channel and do this full-time I would like it as I actually enjoy editing.
Or perhaps I'm overthinking this and just need to be patient and wait? While keeping my production value up, as I'm producing something that I would watch, doing similar things that got me into the game in the first place, as I started playing due to a couple of storytelling videos on Project Zomboid that blew me out of the water.
Sorry about the ramble :D
Great content!
❤❤❤
Where is the link for UA-cam Jobs?
I just want to sit down with you, have a beer and keep listening...
you say make the thumbnail first but i make surf content and i dont know what to expect with the content its unpredictable
Good video. Like your advice. And your British accent is crystal clear to us Americans. However.... this advice is pretty useless for those of us on UA-cam who are not interested in monetization. Many of us are here for politics and to promote political viewpoints. In my case, libertarianism. Have zero interest in making $$ on UA-cam. I have a day job. Now... if you really want to help folks like me, make a video on how people with day jobs can find the time to make UA-cam videos.
I really have to emphasize the value of... value. The Hidden Metric.
I am the owner of a UA-cam channel that grew to a reasonable size, pretty big for its youthful age, and that's because my channel was dedicated to creating value to my niche. My first video, which didn't provide a sought value, obviously didn't get many views, and same with the second. Few videos later, I realized that the main point of my channel shouldn't to be about controversial undiscussed topics, but instead to provide value, so I started creating more videos that provide high value among competitors, and I easily earned thousands of views in weeks for those videos, and my most successful one, which had the highest value, has more than 40K views, which is incredibly high for my channel's age and size.
Nice voice and you are handsome 💥
I’m starting… i hope it will help
Great stuff! To be honest if I can make $1500 a month with video editting, making the music or educational videos fulltime anything
above that is just a really really nice bonus. ❤
Do it for love, not money
They only care when you start making money. It's weird.
Does that mean the self-proclaimed "close friend" who subbed to my channel and threatened to end me if I turned to drugs actually doesn't care as well?
Same with me. I don't want people to know I have a channel. I was made fun of doing magic tricks.
Hi I giving up😢😢😢😢
Please help. My channel views have frozen, I don't know why
