I just recently started UA-cam and im not giving up, i just wanna say to all small UA-camrs like me, we can do this
You got this!
U have 700 subs you're not new
@@wardencombosI got a channel to 1.2k subs in 3 days. And another to 400 in 24 hours… they are still new channels just with lots of subs 😊
@@vidIQ Really appreciate it 🙏
Yes we can 👍👍
Being a UA-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame -ster of course) will always pay off at the end.
I started my beekeeping channel in 2008. I posted regularly and my channel finally gained traction in 2016. Then, in 2022 I reached 100,000 subscribers and received UA-cam's silver play button. My approach was simply to BE REAL, and make content to help MY AUDIENCE. Overnight success is VERY RARE!
To anyone who’s reading this!!! DONT GIVE UP!!! Your channel will grow!!! Keep grinding you’ve got this!!! ❤🎉
Thank you!
Very true I just hit 50 subs and it means a lot even though it's small. It's a start! Thanks for the motivation much love ❤
@@Basically.Bricks No Problem!!!! I know what its like!!!
@@HappyElfrr No Problem!!!
Except that I've taken my channel serious for a year and just learned that Children's channels are not eligible for monetization. I'm so sad.
To anyone reading this...Never ever stop uploading content! Your channel will grow soon! Keep grinding! Consistency is the key!
Done Please 🤍🥰🤍🥰🥰
thank you for the inspiration 🎉
Thank you for the encouraging advice!
Just re started my channel after a year of not uploading. Went from 100 subs to 700 in a month and an 1k hours from changing to more vlog and showing what i was doing. Just grinding to the 4k hours now
❤️ I saw ur channel.. Congratulations
You can do this, keep it up!
Cool!
Done Please 🤍💜
Dang that is awesome! Hope to gain that traction too. Keep it up!
I just hit 50 subscribers and I couldn't be happier! Keep pushing everyone its so worth it! Much love and take care to anyone who reads this ❤
That’s awesome! I have only 22 but that’s after 5 videos in a month. How long did it take you? Any tips?
Congrats!
Same here, it was best feeling seeing that, it take commitment and dedication to do what you love
@AVVGaming1 I posted a few times a year ago then stopped, but I've gained most of my subs within the last month or so!
@@user-df5ym9dv5g thank you!
This is a Video small content creators need to watch. I completely agree with all of this and if you decide to change your niche its not to late. I did a whole turn around and I went from 5k subs to 50k subs in the first month now I'm at 80k and about to get the silver shiny thing. Just don't give up!
Done Please 💜🤍💜🥰💜🥰💜
I just started UA-cam with zero subscribers now I’m almost at 300 on my first week of uploading going to keep trying!!
I subbed to you miss, you got this! 🎉😊
I once wanted to start my own channel, however, because I have no technical skills for editing, and enough will to keep making content that gets like 10 views, I gave up. Now I want to start once again, with better ideas and some experience from the past. I don't even want to become full scale UA-camr, I rather want to have a place to share my Minecraft creations, and to entertain myself a bit.
Wish me luck, guys. I know I'll fail once again, but I still have to try.
Edit: just in case: this is an alt account lol
If you try to give up you will get blisters in your ego
Done Please 🤍💜🤍💜🤍🤍
It’s very unfortunate that a niche and audience is stuck one way. I am trying to start a gaming channel and I want to include a little bit of real life and some Pokemon card openings, but don’t have time to build up separate channels and post somewhat consistently.
The editing takes up too much time for this, and I can’t afford one. So I’m trying to break the norm and run a channel that shows a variety of each. Every video is slowly becoming better than the last. I will try to work with this for a year and if nothing pops then I’ll see if it’s worth my time to just post at very slow rates.
I’m just waiting for that one thing to catch and maybe focus more on it
Done Please 💜🤍💜🥰💜🥰💜
Step 1: Understanding your audience (make content that resonates with your audience)
Step 2: Finding Ideas (research what other content your audience is watching)
Step 3: Groundwork (does your channel have a sustainable topic for a year and beyond)
Step 4: Consistency (with engaging uploads)
Done Please 🖤
How do I research what other channels my subscribers are watching?
Super small creator here, it sucks trying to become a content creator with a full time job. Recording, editing, and uploading takes too much time with being a full time adult.
I’m new, first video launched last month and working on my 6th now. I am at 22 subscribers and I hope to get some growth. I have a lot to learn though. Thanks for the advice.
I can not emphasise enough that breaks are important. Especially if you work part or full time. If you're lucky enough that your parents or someone else supports you or you're on the dole, good for you but for many of us UA-cam, work a d life can burn you out and it's important to understand know when you need a break. Even if the hiatus is for a longer period.

Yeah gaming channel here, it's definitely hard but hey that's the grind. 💜 6:15
Yes!

I have a question; is making shorts a good idea? I've heard things from "my views went down so bad and i have to start a new channel." to its helping me a ton.I make shorts in my nich should I keep going or stop doing it?
If you want to be primarily a longform channel, I wouldn’t do many shorts at all. It attracts a split audience.
Usually when people subscribe to a channel because of a short, it’s because they want to see more *shorts* like it; it’s rare when people check out a channel’s longform videos because of a short, but UA-cam will notice those subscribers aren’t watching the longer videos, or if they are, it’s usually just the first couple minutes.
Take the hours you would spend on shorts and use them to make your long videos better instead.
A way to use shorts without harming your main channel though is to create an alternate channel just for shorts and a TikTok account for them too. Ideally, you can make accounts on Instagram and X as well, but TikTok would be the best place to start IMO.
@@_catulus Thanks!
Already here....all the way from South africa❤❤
Ewe yes sir 🔥

Thanks for the help! As a new UA-camr this free info is appreciated. I have so many ideas but it’s hard to translate it to a great quality video. My last video was had the best browse feature recommendations. I couldn’t get many people to click though. My thumbnails suck. I’ll be honest though I have never written a script for my videos and haven’t developed hooks. Time to get to work.

Appreciate all the advice on this channel! I'm in the very early stages trying to implement this stuff, enjoying the process and hoping to see some traction soon. Good luck everyone!
Thank you, I subbed to you.. gl as well! 🎉🎉🎉

Great video. Commitment is key. But it is also vital to know when to take a break. If you need to miss a week, do it. By the way, the community tab is your friend. It is a brilliant way to build community and just let viewers know if you need to take a few weeks off.
So true
I just hit 1000 subscribers, much of it thanks to what I learned from this channel. It’s wild and I honestly didn’t expect anyone to watch my vids. You all have definitely helped me along the way. Thanks for these informative videos!
Very well said my friend. I have definitely learned that once you start to build an audience, the algorithm pushes it out to your subscribers and if they feed on it then it gets pushed out to a wider audience really quickly
i mean, you can just comment everywhere and get to 100k in less than a year
handleless channels, ASSEMBLE!!!
😂 I never thought of that 🤦♀️
hi there
yeah not happening
bruh
lol
Started a channel 8 months ago. Just trying to have fun and stay positive with it.
Got serious about YT last month, only at 133 subs, but love seeing the growth no matter how slow the griwth is. Definitely enjoying it, the hustle is real lol.
To all the small channels, we got this!
Started my gaming channel almost 2 months ago and it’s definitely a grind, but also rewarding when you see the growth even if it’s 1 sub at a time. Don’t give up and just keep grinding.

This is my first ever UA-cam channel and to everyone just starting keep going !!
I just started and it's very difficult and daunting. Channels like this give hope and help, thanks!
Thanks for all the help!! For all of us We got this!!
Absolutely!

Currently working on my first video. I'm nervous on posting it but I'm close to finishing. My issue right now is overthinking. I find videos like yours that help me push forward. Thank you for the tips!
Hei, i have question. I must create content from my viewer request or i create the viral content? What must be prioritized between my viewer (i have very low viewer :)) or viral content?
Make videos for your audience!
I'm hoping this advice can help and I greatly appreciate your advice with helping many of us! My channel is strictly to help support unknown Metal bands but the more subscribers the more people can discover these bands that they might of never discovered.
Hey there, I subbed to you 🎉🎉🎉
I am two weeks into my youtube journey and i am having a blast with it! I hope everyone else is too! Lets keep chipping away, we got this!
Done Please ✅
thank you! I have 20k subs but totally stopped posting because I got discouraged. I teach visual effects and specific software and got scared to venture out. BUT I think I need to focus on what my audience REALLY wants
Not at 48 subs. Having a small technology channel and am now working on a review of the JBL Live 660nc, hopefully done by Sunday or maybe even tomorrow🙌🙌
You now have 49 subs because I subbed to you 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks this really helps my channel
Thank you! We're working on our first 10 scripts now and launching the new channel soon!
I am not making UA-cam, but just started my online clothing brand (Keplove). Would you suggest doing some kind of YT content? I have no idea what I could do, except behind the scenes, Shopify, Ads, etc. But this would not get me customers, I guess
VidIQ will surely find the answer.
Check out other clothes brands UA-cam channels for inspiration and ideas!
I think a behind the scene will be more appealing to your customers. Especially when u add a meaning touching story about the designs and when u chose that particular style.
Im definitely on the verge of giving up. I haven’t been successful in creating a community or people who want to return to view. I’ve been trying for four years and I’m really burnt out now
Don't give up! We believe in you!
I also just started, I'm having a ton of fun with it, and I'm hoping to grow and continue to simply have fun!
You're an absolute legend! Keep up the good work!
Definitely!
Done Please ✅
Thanks VidIQ! Freediving / Spearing channel closing in on 1000 subs! Learned alot from your vids and livestreams! Been a rollercoaster ride so far, but I'm determined to make this a success!
It’s not so much about consistency. It’s about building a video library so UA-cam understands the type of content you create so it can recommend your content to the appropriate audiences. The big video library also allows viewers to stay on platform longer viewing your other content which UA-cam loves.
This is an awesome reminder, my wife and I really do sometimes experience strain in our health and editing schedules even tend to create tense arguments between us.
To all other creators out there, it is important to watch your own mental health. This is a marathon, not a sprint. ❤
We are celebrating our 2 year UA-cam anniversary next month! 🎉🎉
I'm just starting out and it takes forever to edit videos (like a full weekend to edit 5 minutes) Is it like this for everybody starting out?
I've been making content for close to 2 year now & yeah... editing takes a long time 😅
I just watched your latest video btw & not only was it very interesting but your editing it very good, definitely a lot better than mine 😂 I'm sure with time, effort & practice you'll definitely find success here on UA-cam 😁
@@TheOutlandishGamer_ Thank you so much for that. I'll have to check out your channel too and learn some things from you!
Thank you for this advice! As a new UA-camr, I found all of this very helpful! Oh, and good luck to all of the other new UA-camrs out there! We got this!
Thanks, great and timely video. I'm definitely at exactly that spot. Re-evaluating -everything.
I started uploading a bit more consistently to my channel about tech reviews about 8 months ago and I've seen some small success but I am really enjoying this journey even if it's slow. So the most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing and you won't ever give up!
I’ve watched countless “grow on yt” vids and this is easily one of the best I’ve ever seen.
I produce and edit content for other peoples channels and the hardest thing for me is getting them to apply all this stuff that you’ve mentioned. I’ve been harping on it for over a year now and they just don’t listen then complain when there isn’t growth. I’m over here like “THEN WHY NOT JUST TAKE MY ADVICE AND DO THE THINGS?”
I can’t edit the quality content if the quality content isn’t there and planned prior to filming.
I have this strong feeling now that if I had the time and energy to build a channel for myself that I’d do so much better than the half assed job I’m forced to do for these other people.
Done Please 🤍🥰🤍🥰🥰
@@happycorn3r I think I have at least 100+ song and sketch ideas and I would kill to have enough of myself to produce them. Maybe in another year or two…hope it’s sooner than later. Busting my ass to try to get there
Great video! I'm brand new and I have 3 videos and 1 short. They are messy, but each video has gotten better. ☺️ I definitely want to be successful with it. I'm trying to find the balance with it, family, and work.
I liked what you said about diet. Something about the idea of consistency for the sake of consistency feels wrong. In my case, my life has changed too much since I started my channel in 2020. The style of my old videos doesn't feel right in my current reality. I guess, I like the idea of having a channel, and I like the idea of UA-cam, but sometimes I feel that it's better to not upload anything than to upload something that would be... forced?
Been working on my new UA-cam channel and I really feel like I'm starting to find my niche and I'm pretty happy with the pace I'm growing at. Sometimes I just have to remember to slow down and breathe and now check my analytics every 5 min. 😅

Started a UA-cam channel last year March and in December i quit my toxic job. I have come to realize that growing a UA-cam channel is hard. I have 106 subscribers and i am hoping to get to 200 this month therefore thank you for sharing this video because giving up is not an option
Me and my son decided to start acting like we already had thousands of followers and it's kind of been our guiding principal.
Don't give up
@@Gistwithrubby thank you
The travel channel you mentioned in step 1, why did they need to create a new channel why could they not build a new subscriber base on their existing channel? I would’ve thought getting some views would be better than starting a channel from 0, please explain further 🙏
Finally hit 100 subs the other week, avg about 5 subs a month. My channel isn't the most thrilling, and massive channels with hundreds of cuts/b-rolls/fancy graphics is so hard to compete with. Still enjoy creating and providing a review service...just not sure i'll ever get to 1k subs at this rate 😂
the key is being yourself
the core is putting effort into yourself
Thanks for the reminders 👍 Consistency! That's the challenge for me 😅
Done Please ✅
I hit my 1000 subscribers yesterday and views are less than usual today , same think had happened when i had hit 500 subscribers for some days, why so does yt algorithm changes once you hit certain goal?
Loving what I do. Creating new memories, inspiring people, learning new things, growing. Full package. 😊
I hope to succeed thanks to you 😅
#4 resonates with me so much! I have a schedule exactly like that and want to change to quality over quantity.
Please REPLY 🥺"Voice cloning someone else's voice to use it for voiceover" was mentioned in UA-cam's new content policy.
Do we need to mark content as "Altered content" when using "ElevanLabs Voices" as well?
Thanks for the tips, currently trying to grow and make quality content, hang in there everyone keep at it even when it seems hopeless!!
Dont give up, all of You can grow up ! Just keep doing Your best and you can do it !
I also started my UA-cam channel... hope it grows with quality content
Consistency and good quality content matters, so keep working guys!
This is actually what I needed, I did a 30 days challenge on my yt and it didn't get up towards my expectations, completely ruined my mental health, this video is a slap in the face but a slap that is deserved, thanks❤
Ive wanted to be a youtuber for so long, I started but gaming videos just dont seem like the way to go because it feels like no matter how much I create edit post and redo, I end up taking them down due to no views or tons of just negative comments and its made it hard to do it, how do I make videos, how do I pick a nieche that will work for me
All thanks to you. I have reached 1000 subs with really hard work. It was a long, long journey to get there. But I still got to reach the watch hours that needed. It's exhausting me, but your videos really motivate me not to give up.
How long did that take you? I know everyone will experience different things but just interested to get some perspective
@@AVVGaming1 took me 17-18 months.
@@AVVGaming1 16 -17 months.
Started last week, I think I'm doing pretty well. Thanks for the resume
Consistency is definitely one of my biggest bugbears. I still find it incredibly hard to understand how to retain a healthy balance between what I want to do & what people actually want to see.
For example, I just finished my first Playthrough of Silent Hill 2. It's been up for about a day now & currently has 15 views which tells me that it's either not being pushed by the YT Algorithm or it's not resonating with people. Or both I guess. My last video before this was a 1 minute long April fools "meme" with a very simple title & thumbnail however this has had over 1k views & has been up for about 5 days. This tells me that people at least clicked on this video & that YT was willing to promote this kind of content.
My main goal for my channel is to create a small community & in order to do this I need to make my content more consistent & more engaging. I'm still not exactly sure how to do this but I'll keep trying cuz that's all I can do 😅
Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much. Currently growing my channel.
I got another idea. I quit caring about views and I just post stuff I like. Why? I don't want my channel being like every other channel on youtube. It's part of the problem with UA-cam now. I like being unique and I planned to stay that way.
Cope
Thanks again for another banger guide. Im fully confident in the eventual success of my channel, thanks to hard work and advice from folks like you
Ok so does that mean if it’s not working to start a whole new channel or change the one you have?

:) thanks! appreciate the brevity and clarity of this.
I literally just finished my 3 month daily upload challenge today. It felt like what you said about uploading for the sake of doing it. Some videos performed well, but most bombed. I am just glad I was able to stick to something I said I would do. My next challenge is weekly videos after today.
This is going to help me! I'm right now trying to start a 2nd channel so I might be able to apply this to my new channel!
What about guided meditation videos? Ugh it’s hard!
Still have 60 subscribers. Still confuse whether to continue let's play video or gaming trivia video. I hope I can get more subscribers soon
How long have you been at it? I’m at 22 subs in 1 month but worried about where the next ones will come from. I have a lot to learn though and I know patience and consistency is key!
UA-cam is a long game, and it helps to expect progress over time
And its important, like with any ither career path, to know where you see yourself in 2, 5, 10 years ❤😊
Does quitting a channel and starting a new one really work? Current channel has 4.6k subs and that took a while but if I leave to make a different channel it'll take forever won't it. 😢
Amazing advice. Will try make changes to my channels to reflect that. Thank you.
Just about to hit 100 subscribers after just over a month and 27 shorts🙌 planning on taking some ideas from some of my favorite creators and change my content soon which will hopefully get a little more reach🤞
Good luck to all of you just starting out✌️ from South Africa 🌍
ive been doing youtube for 3 years and i havent even gotten 500 subs (yet) but there are people who make videos just like me who have 10k subs and i dont know what to do so dose anyone have any advice like am i doing spacific things wrong?
good luck out there guys !!!!
Thanks you too! I subbed! 🎉
My channel is finally starting to take off. I went from 2k subs to 5k subs in two weeks. Shooting mainly outdoor bushcraft shorts.
Great advice! I definitely need to start planning out my videos 😅
Thankfully it’s hard to run out of content when you’re farming, there’s always something crazy going on 😂
It just takes a bit of time for people to find you. Would like to blow up with subscribers but think it's the process we have to go through. And yes just keep it going 👍
Step 1. Find an audience
Step 2. Make content they want to see
Step 3. .... what was step 1 again?
Step 4.... um... make content????
Step 5... be consistent... with what I don't know
Step 6, success!!!! 😂
I hope im on the right track now. I have to say its much harder as an older person. Its a seriously steep learning curve. Ironically i would need youtube to work if im to afford vidIQs annual subscription. Oh well i'll keep crawling hoping to one day walk and then run 🤔
The research to make these connections are much appreciated. It makes me think of the book, “Hit Makers.”
I almost hit 1k subs!!! Thank you VidIQ
