Small channels, keep pushing forward! Your hard work will pay off. Dream big and watch your channel soar!

I subbed to you. :)

One of my shorts is gaining 450 views per hour some how but thanks! Edit: it slew down :(

Let's do it right sir💪

I pray my channel grow with this, hey small KZbinrs we gonna smile soon, focus 💯

[@NuggetsOfGold]

Growing a youtube channel is no walk in the park. It takes focus, hard work and commitment. Starting is the hardest part where most people get frustrated and quit. If you quit, thats it.

[@plamentv]

I don't agree about the tags and here is why. As we all know KZbin is directly connected with Google. And by that using good strong key words and key phrases, makes your video appear in google search. Simply by doing a good job with the Title->Description->Keywords you can rank for a keyword really high in google search, even at the first place. And I am speaking from experience. I have a couple of videos where my keywords are ranked at the very top, meaning first place in google search, which brought me some good views. And by first place I mean, your video appears on a specific keyword on top of everything else, meaning the first thing to see. Not only that, those specific videos are still bringing views after almost 4 years. So I would not underestimate the power of keywords.

[@SleevelessMTG]

I think tags definitely help, but i definitely don’t think you should spend more than 5 to 10 mins on them

[@plamentv]

@@SleevelessMTG agree, when I have the title and the description ready the keywords are clear and am just typing them.

[@Diversetop]

6:17 It's really very very important for the algorithms!! Whenever i choose (Education) on my videos, they're die without any views, and i mean it literally *(without any view)* So please KZbinrs, choose the right category for your video.. 🙏 It's from my heart (experience) to you brothers and sisters.. 🌹 ❤ VidIQ doesn't know know everything, because they are big (they have community=algorithm). They don't see the difference in many sittings on KZbin, like us small channels!

[@RobSpiv]

Not that simple. KZbin itself has said it rarely uses tags. In the early days of search engines, keyword stuffing, excessive title tags, and lots of tiny text at the bottom of website were used to try and game the system. Over time, both Google and KZbin decided not to trust what the content creator says their stuff is about and instead they use more advanced processing to scan the content and deduce the keywords, tags, and indexing to make it searchable. If you say your video is about wild tigers, but Google tech sees only cats and dogs, guess what Google/KZbin uses to tag and index your content? Not the tag "tigers" you manually put into your submission.

[@gameforyourhealth]

That is because you have 11k subs. This does not apply when your channel is too small to rank. Google owns KZbin, this means they have backend access to KZbin data. So this means they can push their search results similar to how they push their KZbin results. Larger channels TEND TO rank higher. Thus, your conclusion is flawed.

[@sweetlylorelei]

Posting in the morning vs. posting at midnight etc. and the timing of the video doesn't always define if a video will perform better or not on KZbin, I noticed through personal experience. KZbin did a fine job cracking that down on the algorithm scale. I feel a good indication of making your channel pretty good is to focus on shorts that can draw viewers in that TIES IN with your long-form content. If both content relate well hand in hand with what you want on your channel to be as, you'll grow much faster especially if you are a newer channel. Good luck on hitting 1K subs. It's easy wishing to have it right away, but for many, it's going to also require hard work and commitment and never giving up.

[@SuitedSkaterLion]

My subscripers keep coming and leaving, but so far i'm glad i always sticked forward than backwards for now, and but honestly i always try to remember my self to stick to who i am than to change my self for what others would like me to be.

I wonder 🤔

[@DirranProductions]

Third of the way there. Been on this platform for a decade, but have been away for a very long time.

[@zack0333]

thank you!

[@OctagonalSquare]

14:51 the thing that sucks is KZbin started making it where a suggested video pops up when the video fully ends, instead of continuing to show the end screen

[@ReeseHosgood]

Yeah, it is a shame that KZbin changed that. I usually ignore it anyway.

[@hankeriesydney]

Yes absolutely and sometimes I see inconsistent, as sometimes will show your end screen and sometimes doesn’t !!

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

I find that incredibly annoying as a viewer too, as often I want to watch the end screen video but youtube gets rid of it before I have the chance

[@RobinsBuysandDIYs]

I noticed that too!

[@LostSoulAscension]

Fun fact about the thumbnail changes feature. I've noticed this on a few popular channels, and sometimes the different thumbnail is more attractive, but often times I don't click on a video when I first see it because I'm watching a different one so I have a lot of watch later videos. It wasn't necessarily because I didn't like the thumbnail. And I think it doesn't capture that reality.

[@MindMeld143]

Small KZbinrs like me, don't rush. Everything has its own timing. Just upload the videos that you like and for sure there are people out there who will eventually come across with your channel and subscribe.

[@Flipping-is-fun]

True in one hundred years, perhaps..

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

As a watch review channel, I've always struggled with the 'paid promotion' option. I never receive payment for reviews, but I do sometimes get to keep the watches I review. So due to this, I've always aired on the side of caution and ticked this option for those videos. Then left an explanation in the video description. Do you think I need to this, or is that 'paid promotion' only for if you receive an actual monetary payment? I can't wait for the thumbnail test and compare feature to roll out. That's going to be so useful in determining whether my newer thumbnail style is working as well as I think it is.

Thanks for the tips Rob.

I am more interested in the first tip. Does it mean setting a video to private and waiting for about 2 hours, after uploading, will help the video do better compared to just publishing and making it public immediately?

[@B.Questionnaire]

I definitely needed this information. Thank you

[@UmmYeahOk]

KZbin categories reminds me of the old days of the web, when you didn’t necessarily have access to search engines. You either knew the websites domain name directly, visited a webring that contained a bunch of related websites, or, the more important one, used a web directory, like dmoz. There was a period when people would create their own free websites, often using providers like geocities, which originally used a fake city system, where you had to pick the “city” your site was related to, like Sunset Strip for music, Hollywood for movies. If you had an 80s nostalgia site, which “city” do you pick? Same thing with directories, is your site about movies? Tv? Music? Toys? You can’t be all.

[@PlanetImo]

I checked the 'don't post to subfeed' box a couple of times early on in my channel growth when I put some videos up purely for search and didn't want to confuse my viewers with them. They saw it anyway - as we know, more people see the videos on the home page, not the sub feed. If I want to do something like that again, I'll consider setting up a new channel for it.

Will work on some of these settings. Still a new KZbinr so I’m still learning. I have over 500 subscribers but most of my videos do not go past a few hundred views. Someone recently said I have great videos but I need to seo my videos to gain more views but not positive on what that means.

2 hours feels too little, if you can, upload the video 1-2 days prior, that will be much better, also gives you a lot more time to set everything up rather than rush through everything

[@Ovampa]

From my experience about Automatic Concepts. When I made a video about COVID-19, KZbin automatically added a caption in description, describing COVID-19 and also added a hyperlink that led to a website which had a lot of information about COVID. So I always turn it on.

[@AvisPope]

Thanks 🎯 Great video 💯

Is it possible to set it so that 'Automatic Chapters', 'Automatic Places', etc, are turned off by default? Been doing this for a long time and it's really annoying that these need to be unchecked every video. (I checked Upload Defaults a while ago but I don't think these settings were on there.)

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Don't take yourself or your content too serious, afterall, it's youtube. Have a splendid day y'all and go fishing!

@vidIQ Thanks guys after watching the video on Outdoor boys I've decided to do it. My first channel got a couple of chainsaw videos go big and no matter what I try my woodturning videos won't come anywhere near as good. Oh well I learned alot from it and you guys. Keep publishing amazing content!

[@TheInBetweenTales]

For the A/B testing, is it only thumbnails, or can I test titles as well? I think better titles can make a more dramatic change to CTR than a different thumbnail, in most cases..

[@StefLeVoyant]

brilliant 🙏🏾 thank you

[@pileofstuff]

Rob: you mentioned setting the "shorts remixing" permissions in upload defaults. I don't see that option there. Is it hidden somewhere obscure?

[@geekazine]

*Automatic Places* would replace the hashtags (at one point) on the top (when they were under the title). My other understanding was this would help location specific videos - a local store KZbin - not get piled in together with others in different locations. *Automatic Concepts* are to be checked if you are doing a video *outside your niche*. They don't hurt your channel if you post a personal video of your favourite basket weaves.

[@geekazine]

Also, my problem with Test 3 Thumbs is they don't overlay "YOU WATCHED THIS ONE ALREADY". Some people watch bc of the thumbnail, so I am concerned they're going to start watching, feel duped, and unsubscribe or thumbs down. Yes, there is a little red line, but not in all places.

[@LivingTheDreamyt]

I learned something new thank you . Everybody keep going don’t give up

[@LeslieGilpinRailways]

Two things I learned in the pst month as my views dropped by 50% or more per vid. 1) when I had a couple of videos that I didn't necessarily want to publish straight away I still uploaded them as Unlisted and they still got a few views. When I decided to make them Public the views didn't reach what I'd expect. I'll use Private in future for those circumstances. 2) I was publishing at 10am consistently. 2 years ago that is when most people viewed my videos. After seeing recent tips on checking your audience I looked again for first time in ages - and when do they watch - 3pm almost consistently! Ive moved my publication time for the Algorithm and watching what happens!
