    Success on UA-cam begins with a single video, a single subscriber, and an unyielding passion. Keep creating, keep learning, and remember, every great channel started as a small one.

    Great that you mention bad audio is distracting and that you illustrate your point so clearly! We notice this a lot in our niche. Bad audio is more often a reason for us to click away than dull visuals. I subscribed and wondered if you have any video's on growing a channel that focuses on audio rather than visuals and if this is at all possible on an image-driven platform. And if not, how to create the right (amount of) supportive visuals without having to invest a ton in graphic designers.

    Love how you decided on more content useful to small channels!! Often forgotten, but that's how we all start.
    (Unfortunately it seems it's also where it ends for us because youtube now flags all our videos for containing minors which means comments get turned off. That should happen just once, but happens up to 10 times per video. It should also not affect how the algorithm treats the video, but in reality it means the video gets (near) zero impressions, doesn't even show up on the feed of your subscribers!. Huge bug in youtube that's basically just completely killed my channel right now)

  • @BREEZYM6015

    This is great advice on many levels Rob. For me, lately I've been using one of the thumbnails that UA-cam selects because I get about the same amount of views whether or not I create a custom thumbnail. Why should I spend 30 minutes or more making a custom thumbnail when it doesn't improve my view counts or help increase my subscriber count? It doesn't matter because I'm winding down my tenure as a content creator. I recently purchased a condo and look at this point in my life as like starting a new chapter. When a new chapter starts then the previous chapter must close and as such my time as a content creator is nearing its end. It's been fun, challenging, and somewhat rewarding but in the end I just don't have what it takes to do this anymore. It takes a tremendous amount of time, passion, energy, creativity, resources, and motivation to make content that is going to resonate with a particular audience and I've run out of them all. I wish you all the best of luck on you UA-cam journey.

    Still I haven't found someone make a video step by step on how to script a video for example showing the gathering of the info knowledge or story etc. To make a video. Showing what info you chose out of that research to then add to the script then showing steps on how you chose to present each the points that you scripted. There might be someone who has done this but when I search I find maybe 1 or 2 vids and of which do not do step by step. Basically a video step by step on how you researched a topic by going to different sources youtube.websites.articles etc.
