Hey friends, in this video I break down the single most important thing that I did to grow my KZbin channel whilst also having a full time job. I managed to get to a place where I was spending around 5-10 hours a week on the channel, which is pretty insane, so hopefully you'll find something useful. Enjoy x

There is one overlooked fact that stands out, and that is the "entertainment" factor. The biggest channels on KZbin are predominantly focused on entertainment. In order to succeed on KZbin, about 99% of content creators need to be entertaining and positive individuals. It is crucial to convey information in an entertaining manner. This is, in my opinion, the most important aspect, yet it is often left unsaid. And of course, selling plenty of "dreams".

[@tahiraabdullahvlogs]

Agree with you as people come to watch videos so that they can entertain, relax and get rid of their problems.❤

[@ElenaHarris272]

Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.

[@ElenaHarris272]

“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

[@ThompsonAthena10]

That’s a just approach. I’m 52 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.

[@ElenaHarris272]

I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.

[@ElenaHarris272]

Sear ch the names if you care!

[@foxruneec]

The commentary along with showing the shorts was really helpful! I'm not ready to outsource video - until I improve my own skills - but I took some notes on things I can do to be better. Thank you!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The videos are definitely getting more spontaneous and cinematic. Well done!

[@raphiboyer]

You're truly inspiring ! I've started my channel because of all your advice and I'm enjoying the whole KZbin journey process so much ! Thanks Ali

[@whoozie]

This is one of the best videos you have made so far! I cannot do the "people" part yet but there was so much valuable things I found in the first half of this video!

[@charlottedankworth3705]

This video gave me some great tips on how to grow my channel and gain millions of subscribers! Clear, concise, and informative - definitely worth watching for any aspiring KZbinr looking to make the most out of their spare time. Thanks for the helpful advice! Can't wait to implement those tips for one of my faceless channels, with the help of Famester, of course!!

[@chalmer31]

You are now answering the question that popped into my head 30 seconds ago. Great writing. I'm learning absolute loads from this channel. Thank you!

[@samuelcamero6618]

Thank you Ali, not just this video but everything you’ve shared with us. It’s greatly helped me and I know others share the same experience.

[@itsbonart]

This is so helpful! I’m trying to absorb as much information starting my own channel. Thank you so much for sharing! 👏

[@loremipsum3129]

Thank you so much! At the moment it’s in the middle of exam season so I really can’t spare the time but I can’t wait to use this framework and stop procrastinating so much lol

[@CalicoCooperFan]

Solid content, Ali. Also appreciate the way you integrated the sponsorship into this video. It didn't feel like an abrupt and disruptive transition to the sponsorship. It was as smooth as could be.

[@chiomaozulorah]

Still struggling to grow my channel, watching likeee👀👁️👀👁️

[@TechieSnake]

Brilliant video Got me motivated again to work on my channel seriously. I was missing the consistency but now I will try outsourcing

[@Edit2Impact]

You are completely right about outsourcing editing and other things that prevent you from creating more. Outsource editing is what we focus on. 🎞

[@cozybeatz5096]

Solid content with regards to the different editors. Thanks for the inspiration Ali

[@WeblightDreams]

This video was jam-packed with very helpful information that I can use to drive my channel forward. Thank you.

[@americasfavoritecouple6808]

This is so fabulous. I’m soaking every bit of it in. Can’t wait to put everything into practice

[@FromMyKitchenToYours92]

Am finding it quite hard editing and making the videos while still trying to be there for my kids and family and what’s even harder is not seeing any change, but I am not going to give up, I will do this and I will achieve my goal 💐 thank you Ali

[@thegoodsense]

Good insights! Been watching your videos for awhile and I'm learning. Thank you!

[@lswatEnt]

Hey I enjoy this video and I really enjoy the love and support that the people of the youtube community shows

[@Michelethesportdietitian2b]

Hi Ali, just to say thank you for your videos and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your team!

[@Alechernandezfilms]

Solid content brotha keep it up! Your production value is 🔥 The time and effort that goes into each video is appreciated and astonishing.

[@raceupteam5933]

This was the video I needed to see today. Thank you for this. I am a newbie to this KZbin journey and seriously at a stage where I keep overthinking this whole thing. 1 will not give up. I am currently at 770 subscribers. I am here now and ready to learn, share and grow my channel.

[@khomotsoegbuonu3041]

Thank you so much Ali for sharing your educational and valuable content always!

[@darkrangersinc]

The 5er outsourcing part was super helpful and def pushing me towards it

[@brianna_jade]

As someone who is prioritizing creating my own content right now, I really love this type of content. Thank you!

[@smarty.adviser]

The tips and strategies shared in this video are invaluable for aspiring content creators looking to grow their subscriber base. Thank you for providing practical insights on how to make the most of spare time and achieve remarkable results!

[@macvince]

*Thank you so much!* Great video jam-packed with helpful tips. :)

[@rajendra22]

Your tips are very helpful & your presentation+ storytelling is on point always. Thanks for sharing & inspiring. 👍

[@Raline4SeasonLights]

The best video quality I’ve ever seen on KZbin! I’ve just subscribe ✅ and I want to learn more from you! Thank you for sharing!

[@cartergansky]

Thank you Ali for inspiring all of us to follow our passions!

[@frugalcreativeliving]

I love the way you did this video with the fiverr editor comparisons! Super helpful!

[@NigeloWalker]

One thing that is working for me is making the process as stress free and fun as possible

[@SoulPull-yb2ql]

Just did the first day of your thing. Whoa. Profound. Impressive. Enlightening!

[@jjn6914]

Thank you for making this video. I definitely need to tweak/improve my systems, even if I can't be consistent in content creation, and take the dive into outsourcing the editing work. The editing is what stops me from wanting to make content because it is so onerous and time-consuming, especially with a not-so-powerful computer that can't take the load of running 2-3 big programs and browsers at once.

[@todrapayne]

This is so good. I've been binging your content because it's so good and solid without being gimmicky. Thank you so much.

[@doctor.equinox]

I love that you account for energy and are realistic with the way you speak about people 🎉

[@AlexHerder]

So valuable, as always. Thanks for sharing!!

[@serialprogressseeker]

Inspiring words and processes here, thanks for sharing with those of us hoping to grow our channel the same way!

[@TeachingEnglishASMR]

Purely useful tips! Looking forward to growing my channel along these lines. Thank you. 😊

[@user-cr9ot6wu6o]

This is seriously great, very comprehensive and inspiring. Thank you!

[@Roufy000]

This pen flip in 2:18-2:19!! The great thing about you is how at ease you are with the camera! You have great body language. I always feel like you are talking to ‘someone’ not ‘something’. If that makes sense 😁

[@AbuChanChannel]

Well deserved Ali .. inspiration

[@The_Skull_Viking]

[@tamsuvietuc]

🙏😍👌

[@Pilph1966]

Your videos are really helping me get back into creating for my channel again. I look forward to it again. Only wish you would have mentioned the price range of editing like that as it would have been nice to know.

[@englishfilmsseries4542]

Love your content, keep it up. HI, from Uzbekistan.

[@CalonHeindel]

Incredible video! I've been meaning to outsource editing. I just never really knew where to start, or if it was worth it

[@betterchapter]

The most important thing you can do to gain subscribers is to consistently create high-quality content that resonates with your audience

[@thesoundmajors9858]

yawn

[@newyoutubersconnect]

That's assuming you have an audience! When you're starting out, you literally have either no audience or just random audience who come and go

[@tamsuvietuc]

Thanks so much Doctor 👨‍⚕️👍💪new sub😍

[@quentinskitchen]

Also when you're starting KZbin has no idea you created high-quality content. It shows your videos to 100 people max, then sees you only got 50 views, considers it meh and stops showing your videos. No videos, no audience.

[@dna8269]

most generic advice...

[@alicemoyle]

Great video! I’m in the 600 and something subscriber mark. Must keep going through all the self doubt and channel creativity and joy within myself/content. 😊

[@EnglishLearnersHere]

Thanks for all the useful information you shared in this video! 💕

[@turdoff1767]

your videos are always informative, thanks🙏

[@teddyzam8114]

Creating system and not wasting time reinventing things and take what works I find it usefull in every part of my life Thanxs I started watching u today and ur videos are being a game changer am gonna apply them

[@espritenglish]

Thanks for these tips! I’m trying to grow and learn all I can about KZbin. It’s exciting, but it definitely takes a lot of time and energy! 🧡

[@sachsuccess]

Hoping to grow just like you in the years to come!!

[@arigutman]

Very helpful video, thank you for sharing.. Likewise with my journey, I just started and perfected over time... my best advice, just try to fail fast and you will find that the failures will be less than you think..

[@Parentingwiththefutureinmind]

Outsourcing is good. I wish I can do that because it is time consuming and it requires money too. This video is really encouraging me to do so. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ariondiaz2903]

Such an informative video. Thanks so much Ali! 👍

[@youraveragesenpai]

Thank you for the amazing advice Ali!! I've learned so much from you, and one of the reasons I started my KZbin channel was because of you! On my way to 1k soon :)

[@Markcullenroi]

Nice, you got there!

[@youraveragesenpai]

@@Markcullenroi thank you! Good luck to you too!!

[@jingles20000]

Good luck! What is your channel?

[@ThoughtfulAl]

You're a human dynamo. Energy and business skill come naturally to you. I'll be recommending your channel, but also trying to learn from you.

[@FelexAndVirginia]

Watching for third time the amount of information here is so valuable and condensed THANKS Ali.

[@cryptowealthonyt]

Ali one of the neatest videos I have seen on your channel THANK YOU.

[@KristenNichole]

Stopped growing my personal KZbin years ago as I’m so busy creating social media and copywriting content for others and business accounts. Maybe I’ll jump in again one day. Great tips.

[@ryanpenley1213]

You are enthusiasm and excitement and genuine knowledge. This is outstanding thank you.

[@TheStunningEntrepreneur]

Hard work and consistency definitely pay off!

[@VSGLife]

Over here from the Think Media tribe! Congratulations on your success! Appreciate you🙏🏾💯💪🏽

[@TinyTotsStories05]

Thanks for the step by step process.Hoping it will work wonders for my channel.

[@VanwayDuldas]

Good luck to everyone who's working hard on their small channel. No one sees the hours of work we put in behind the scenes, but it will pay off someday.

[@mamanursetina]

Its unreal hey? SO MUCH work!

[@KayD29]

Loads of time editing and organizing for just minutes of footage. The behind the scenes work is definitely time-consuming, but the payoff will be so rewarding🎉

[@Kshitij_Arya69]

bro the transition at beginning was soo smoothhh man i love it.

[@MariaSophiaWorld]

I’m just starting my fitness channel right now! Thank you for the inspiration ❤🙏🏻
