After 10 Years PLUS Still Not Monetized | What am I doing wrong ?

[@goat1408]

Definitely get into doing livestreams too....this vid will probably go viral AF.....leggo! Hope to see you visit Tha GOAT Nation 😊

[@kellmarktv]

I went through something similar but it when I was deployed, people just unsubscribed then yt took away my monetization,however, I came back and just kept it pushing. BTW I'll subscribe to your channel in support. Good luck

[@lifewithshaun]

Thank you so much for the support I will return the favor

Hello I’m not a professional KZbinr but I’ve been doing research and came across your video. I want to grow my channel as well so I decided to take a day and watch other KZbinrs content on how to grow your channel and how the algorithm works. I looked over your channel and from what I’ve learned so far maybe KZbin doesn’t know who your audience is yet and that’s where you’re finding trouble getting subscribers and views. Looking through your channel you have a wide variety of vids from your locs (which I LOVE), music reviews, motivational talks, and vlogs. Maybe until your channel grows stick with one niche so if you like vlogging do that then maybe include your motivational talk in it as well as your hair routine but title it as a vlog…if you do shorts they should be highlights from your long length videos to get your viewers to watch it in full. I hope I’m making sense and this helps! I liked your video, comment and subscribed!! I’m gonna watch your playlist to help your watch time as well I wish you all the success sis!!

[@lifewithshaun]

@@lovealwaysjazzz thank you so much ☺️ I’m definitely going to take your advice and try to stick to one niche and see how it goes.

[@goat1408]

2:55 they clearing out them channels as you mentioned earlier....the channels not getting you engagement.....they do that basically to everyone....and it sucks

[@goat1408]

Don't be discouraged....this is about to be your year!

[@lifewithshaun]

@@goat1408 I really appreciate your comment. I will definitely keep going and not give up on my channel. 2025 will be my year for sure 💪🏾

[@growthtogether2453]

You’re so right because I just bumped accross her channel

[@topcore_adventures]

Soon hitting the 4th year, not monetized yet! We keep going! Also, I have experienced the subs drop, too!

[@lifewithshaun]

Yeah we got to keep going. I think KZbin is getting rid of bots channel so that’s why the sub are dropping. So one in the comments mention that and it made sense why they drop so drastically.

[@Lollybloom8080]

I just subscribed my love keep going ❤

[@lifewithshaun]

@@Lollybloom8080 thank you so much for the support and the encouragement I really appreciate it and I will return the favor and subscribe to your channel as well 🤎

[@leeslife99]

I don't know what happened to my message. However I go on other big Guru channels and leave a comment about my channel and that's how I've been able to gain traction. I'm going to start to Niche down I think that helps a great deal. New subbie here, you got this❤❤❤

[@lifewithshaun]

@@leeslife99 I’ll have to try that to see if I can find more like minded friends to join the community. Also, I will return the favor and sub back

[@Miss.WilsonOffDuty]

There are ALOT of factors like ALOT that go into KZbin monetization. I’ve done (and still doing) research on the factors that go into monetization on KZbin.

[@lifewithshaun]

@@Miss.WilsonOffDuty yeah it feels like jumping through hoops and hurdles. It can be a bit frustrating

[@Miss.WilsonOffDuty]

@@lifewithshaun trust me I get it! Several of my videos don’t even have 1 like on them 🤷‍♀️ I think of it as apart of the process but I’m also realistic with myself. Overall looks, weight, thumbnails, skin tone, & paid promoted videos are just a few factors that contribute to which videos get pushed into the algorithm.

[@lifewithshaun]

@ you are right so many factors go into what videos get pushed.

[@jules8029]

@@Miss.WilsonOffDutyvery true

[@goat1408]

weird....don't see my first comment but blessings to you...today 12.30.24 was the day I discovered your channel...Friend 951 and you will get 1k again very soon!!

[@lifewithshaun]

thank you so much

[@tweeden5202]

I just want to encourage you to stay the course. I just started my channel last month called Supreme Hustle Experience. What you are experiencing is what I call the passion effect. Meaning you want to quit but something won’t let you. That is because you have a passion to help people. The word passion means to suffer. It doesn’t feel good now but you know in your heart one day it will get better. So keep grinding.

[@lifewithshaun]

@@tweeden5202 you are 💯 percent right the passion to help people is keeping me going so I won’t give up the message will find who needs to hear it 🤎 thank you so much for the encouragement and I will check out your channel as well.

[@tweeden5202]

@ thank you I appreciate that. I have subscribed and I will keep watching you and your progress. You have a fantastic year.

[@kagisomohlala7057]

I hope 2025 will be your breakthrough year! Dont be discouraged, you will reach your crowd. I subscribed because of the monday motivation episodes. ❤ from South Africa

[@lifewithshaun]

Thank you so much ☺️ and wow to know I’ve reached someone in South Africa is incredible. Thank you so much for your support and I hope the motivational Monday messages brings value to your life. This is motivating enough for me to not give up.

[@LetsTalkProjects]

You got this! 2025 will be your year for monetization💕

Rooting for you Queen, I dream of making my own Channel maybe this will be the year 2025

[@lifewithshaun]

@@redbluebae4397 you definitely should make your own channel. We all have a gift to share with the world and yours is needed as well 🤎

[@Janicestartsover]

New sub!! You will make it! ❤❤ 2025 is the year 🎉 YOUR YEAR! There's always a test before a testimony 🙏🏽 This is suspect, though.

[@lifewithshaun]

Thank you so much this is definitely encouraging me to keep going. And yeah it is definitely suspect im not sure what KZbin got going on but i wont let it stop me. I will return the sub as well :)

[@Familyof12-Doinglifetogether]

Hashtags have a lot to do with triggering the algorithm. I’m noticing and KZbin shorts pile up watch hours quick. Don’t give up.

[@lifewithshaun]

@@Familyof12-Doinglifetogether I’m going to try to do shorts daily to see if that helps

You actually just motivated me to keep pushing. My channel has three years with 185 subscribers. 10 years is wild but 👊🏾

[@growthtogether2453]

@@lifewithshaunnice to meet you too. I am so mesmerised. I just subscribed to your channel. May your channel grow into what you want it to be. Compliments.

[@lifewithshaun]

@ keep going if it’s something you want to do. I had this channel for a long time but started to be consistent with it like a year in a half ago.

[@StudioNovaTV]

One thing you can try for your next few uploads is to not publish them to your Subscribers. KZbin will attempt to find the audience based on the video data. You may also wanna consider creating separate channels for the podcasts

[@lifewithshaun]

@@StudioNovaTV I’ve been thinking about moving my podcast to its own channel and another KZbin mention to not publish to your subscribers I did it for a few videos so we will see how that works, but I appreciate the tips I will be implementing them going forward 🤗

[@StudioNovaTV]

@@lifewithshaun great, I'm invested now, so i'll be coming back to see the results

[@lifewithshaun]

@ thank you so much ☺️ I really appreciate it

[@GrownMenTalking]

I lose subscribers all the time! Please don't get discouraged, you'll make it. Just the other day I have 41.5 k subscribers now I'm at 41.3k. keep going, you'll hit your mark. If not, switch up specific things that can attract a broader audience. I just subscribed if that helped.

[@lifewithshaun]

Thank you so much ☺️ I really appreciate it and I will definitely take your advice and try to switch up something’s and see how that works.

[@jminor318]

I think it is KZbin. Other channel have said the same thing. Also, KZbin will drop subscriber from following channels. It is a unclear why this is happening.

[@lifewithshaun]

I thought I was going crazy. As soon as I hit the 1 k milestone subscribers started to drop drasically.

[@taymarielifestyle]

Not trying to discourage you but I see like five things wrong with ur channel just scrolling thru on why ur not getting paid yet

[@lifewithshaun]

@@taymarielifestyle you won’t discourage me. please let me know so I can make the necessary changes to make it better. It’s all about learning and improving.

@ it’s in the description of the video

[@taymarielifestyle]

@ I sent u an email

[@lifewithshaun]

@@taymarielifestyle thank you so much for all the tips you sent me I will try to narrow down my content and focus on one subject for awhile to see if they helps with my growth on KZbin

[@GrownMenTalking]

Sometimes there's bots that will subscribe to your channel, they will start to send you IG messages about SEO, and try to get money in different ways from you. You two filters out bots. So some channels get more bots than others, when they do KZbin will remove them. So you're subscriber count will drop

[@lifewithshaun]

@@GrownMenTalking makes sense why it was so drastic

[@TantrumKnows]

I am going thru something simlar

[@lifewithshaun]

It sucks when you invested so much time into your channel but we have to keep going
