Wanna know a secret? This was our secret weapon video! We made it months ago. We so meta 😎

Over-posting for large channels will destroy your channel.. I was posting 1x a week.... now just 1x every 2 weeks - drastic improvement! Look at these large channels with super low views... They have over-saturated themselves out of too many videos, too little views with way too many subscribers.

[@ChannelMakers]

We have seen some of that too. I love that you changed up your publishing schedule and saw some improvement!

[@andersspencer]

Guys you are the main reason my channel is growing

[@ChannelMakers]

Wohoo! Seriously so glad to hear your channel is growing and we’ve been helpful. Keep up the good work.

[@WillieDeJarnetteMarketerDNA]

I really needed this video. I will rewatch it.

[@seecraig]

Thank you so much for showing that one can have success with messy backgrounds. I'm in a crowded studio apartment and cleaning the space is daunting and absolutely impossible to maintain for more than a couple of days. The other issue is that due to circumstances the constant setup and breakdown is itself a stopper for me. While I have professional cameras, lighting, and audio, perhaps just shooting with an iPhone and a cheap wireless mic will allow me to get more done. Ironic but none of that should impact the value of what I present all that much. Time to move forward! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ExpressITTechTips]

I’m having the same challenge at present with refurbing my studio. I’ve just used nvidia broadcast to sort this for the short term

[@ChannelMakers]

I'm so glad this helped you! Sometimes we get a specific idea of what our videos have to be, but it ends up holding us back. Sometimes we just need to step away and be willing to try something new! -Nathan

[@davidthescottishvegan]

I thought channel's failed because they don't watch Channel Makers. Thanks for sharing this awesome, interesting and informative video. Love 💗 Channel Makers.

[@cocreativedesign]

This vid make me feel like i'm still on the right path, thanks!

[@mathuniverse3373]

Realy nice video

[@frostylonewolf1700]

awesome videos

[@NerdChorus]

Can I ask what mic lapels you are using? The sound quality from them is great - thanks!

[@TheBradfords]

Yeah I need to know as well

[@ChannelMakers]

We are using the Tascam DR-10L. It's listed here in our starter gear setup channelmakers.incomeschool.com/tools/

[@NerdChorus]

@@ChannelMakers brilliant thank you!

[@TheBradfords]

@@NerdChorus the microphone works lovely!!!

[@SuperPaperPlushMarioBros]

Yall are so underrated! 😂👏🏾

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Great suggestion on having a few videos scheduled ahead! I publish every week and usually have 8 videos scheduled ahead, so even if I get behind, there is always a video coming out! My type of videos can take lots of time to produce & edit, so I really need a bunch ahead in case I am sick, or maybe something comes up & I can't publish this week. Thanks for the great info. Many will benefit from this!

[@ZeeNaturalCare]

Wow 👏

[@noflimflamfilmphan]

I appreciate the calm, practical advice. Also, great to see a number for the average video output before monetization. Great lil video you pulled out of your back pocket here!

[@TheBradfords]

Ah this rung home... i have time i just dont have the energy w these two boys . I got to stop confusinf that with no time and get to work. I have to push through

[@sidzhottake]

Appreciate this video guys! My little channel needed this~~~

[@ChannelMakers]

Keep at it! :)

[@shoppingonchampagne]

I love how you guys discuss barriers! It's the small things that hold us back from creating so always choose the path of least resistance to make your videos. 💪

[@StreetPhilosophyTV]

The secret weapon video is a top tip! As for getting to 134 videos, for me I think creating youtube shorts as well is a doable strategy since they are a lower lift than longform videos.

[@PoplarPrepper]

Energy... that is the real bottleneck for me. Thanks for the good conversation!

[@ChannelMakers]

You're welcome! You've got this!

[@PoplarPrepper]

@@ChannelMakers This is a secondary channel, but it may become bigger than my main.

[@davidvoorhies812]

Frank! Great video. 😜😉

[@ChannelMakers]

🤣 Thanks David!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Do u guys think sometimes its better to scratch a channel and restart and try again w what we already know

[@fishheadvideo]

I've thought of trying this. Started a new channel, got 11 views on the first video lol

[@ChannelMakers]

I could see that in some cases, but it would be a difficult call to make.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@ChannelMakers i just wonder if i have to many shorts subs

[@ChannelMakers]

@@GRUBB-MUDD Are you wanting to pivot to a different content format?

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@ChannelMakers not really, i just think my long form would do better if i re-stsrted and posted zero shorts on a whole new channel

[@MotifMusicStudios]

"The odds are ever not in your favour." [GOLD - haha]

[@MotifMusicStudios]

A schedule has been my toughest part of being a creator. Creating videos is fun-filled for me and I feel I could upload ad infinitum...I do however need more watch time and more strategizing!

[@morningstarhomestead]

Video suggestion if you guys get a chance. I would love to hear your opinion on if SEO is really mattering less. A lot of people have been talking about this because KZbin seems to be pushing out channels and they don't seem to have any type of catch words/searched phrases in their title. A lot of times, I have trouble coming up with video ideas because I feel like my ideas aren't well searched for, but then videos I make with out much seeming searchability seem to do well

[@ChannelMakers]

Great idea! We'll add it to our list!

[@edlspirituality1017]

Wise advice! Hey, Frank, is that post-it note with your name for you or for us? 😂😂😂

[@ChannelMakers]

ha! That was a name tag from another video :)

[@yankamama]

I'm at 244 videos and still not monetised loll is true that many my video are short (3 to 5 min). I'm changing my strategy lol

[@ChannelMakers]

It looks like you're putting in a ton of work. Congrats on 2k subs! That's exciting. I think you're on the right track, slightly longer videos will help you get the watch time you need!

[@doctorsitumorang]

I keep looking at your MBP at the edge of your table....scared that the laptop might get dropped on the floor 😁

[@ChannelMakers]

😅 I didn't even notice it was that close to the edge!

[@doctorsitumorang]

@@ChannelMakers 🤣🤣

[@drivingdaily582]

Almost at 600 subscribers on my heavily car infused exploring channel

[@MegaMGstudios]

Channel makers: "it takes an average of 134 videos to reach monitization" Me at 142 and still miles away from monitization: "well crap"

[@PokeFangOfficial]

I'm making better videos than I ever have, investting time up front in research, elevating the viewing experience with higher retention scripts, and posting content more often... as a result my channel is starting to decrease in views and seemingly begin to wither away undoing years of progress. I took me close to 200 hundred videos and 2 years to get monetized. And only a few months of investing more into the channel for it all to fall apart. What's your take on this???

[@TheBradfords]

Im more mad that i sgned up paid and didnt use any of the nenefits of the p24 program. Life lesson

[@ChannelMakers]

Sorry to hear that. Was it a time issue?

[@TheBradfords]

@ChannelMakers it was a me issue LOL procrastination! BUT I love yall and of the advice. It's really worth it.

[@pixelmealchannel]

So you're saying only 6% of creators are monetized. I wonder if the number is about 1000/4000 monetization or even the 500/3000?

[@ChannelMakers]

I believe that info was put out around a year ago so probably 1000/4000 -Julia

[@pixelmealchannel]

@@ChannelMakers Interesting fact. I got a theory that the reason lots of creators quit/fail is because of the time limit to reach 4000 hours. I mean after a year the watch hours start dropping by each day, that is so discouraging..

[@WORLDGYYAN]

You are so pretty

[@MegaMGstudios]

I have some stupid advice to share: you don't have to create a video in one go. Sounds stupid, but for a long time, I had this mental block making me not start a part of the process because I couldn't do it in one go.

[@ChannelMakers]

Not stupid at all! Thanks for sharing

[@Swissvmillie1]

You guys need to stop hiring actors and hire people like me small independent contractors that’s makes content on THIER OWN and that haves a audience already

[@ChannelMakers]

Julia and I (Nathan) both have KZbin channels AND have years of extensive experience working on multiple other KZbin channels. :)

[@UNEWS_ANIMATIONS]

great advice
