Being a KZbinr 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.

[@mswetra2610]

I‘m having a small retro gaming handheld related channel on KZbin. What i‘ve learned from my time creating content is that not all advices work for every niche. It‘s very much dependent and you need to try technics to see if they work out for you. Here‘s my top 3: 1. Interact with your viewers in comments. React to each one and take critic with respect. The good and the bad. 2. Be authentic. Don‘t try to be someone you are not. It won‘t work out in long term. Being yourself always gives you something unique to differ your channel to others. 3. Follow the priority rule: Thumbnail, Title, Video idea, Presentation, Video editing

I agree the advice given is so basic on these channels but the niche is important. Having a gaming channel isn't the same audience as a cooking channel. The viewers are different ages and demographics.

[@attitudeannegaming]

I'm a small content creator that gets many times overwhelmed by everything YT related as in advices. Tips, tricks to "get better" are in so found easy. The idea others "are better", and I as a smallfry creator feeling like an imposter is not only harmful but will make creators like me lose faith, fun and reason to do what why one started to create vids. So now I try to look at it as a journey, to learn new skills, showcase to friends I make a long the way what I enjoy showing, in my case an indie game. I take from the advice what I want to try and just ignore the rest. I have no desire to grow huge, I just want to enjoy creating my own style and growing my skills. Who knows where my channel will go😊.

For us, as beginners in KZbin, it's soo difficult to judge when an advice is good or not. Our channel started doing pretty well at the beginning and then it simply stoped having views, new subscribers, etc., exactly when I was following instructions from some type of "SPECIALIST".. After a really bad period, it looks like we are starting to have some positive results for a VERY small channel again... We'll keep fighting to get the first 1K subs and 4k hours!!

[@fabiezer]

What i’ve learned in my KZbin Journey (it’s been 8 months), what worked for my channel was to answer questions people were asking, I started doing gaming videos because since i was a child that was my dream, but, being realistic, i noticed it was almost impossible to get youtube famous with gaming because there’s just so many other gaming channels, so i started doing some research and started thinking: what do i like to do? what topic is really interesting to me? So i decided to make videos about anime (one piece in general), because i really love that anime, so i started with one single theory, and that video has over 85k views and is still going up today! What i’m trying to tell you guys is that, don’t make videos just because you want to be famous or to make a lot of money, make videos in order to give viewers some value! VALUE! Since that video that went semi viral, i’ve started creating a community involving anime and one piece and it’s really going well, my channel is monetized, and my views are going up and up, so yeah, what you want to give your viewers is VALUE!!!!!!

I use to upload everyday shorts and normal videos 3 times a week. I just got bored with it. Last year in the summer I was looking at channels that pump out long 1 hour videos and saw communities really coming together guessing and waiting for the next video. I knew I wanted to go in that direction. Working on a 2 hour movie since August (8 months) and yes the views take a hit because I'm not spamming ppl feeds but I think long term its the right play. Also I think YT is going more toward that anyway

This video boils down to one key message: don't get bogged down by generic KZbin advice and focus on finding what works for you and your unique content. While tips like daily posting and SEO optimization can be helpful for some channels, they shouldn't be treated as gospel. Instead, prioritize creating quality content that resonates with your audience and reflects your authentic passion. Experiment, find your style, and don't be afraid to break the mold. Remember, KZbin is a marathon, not a sprint, so focus on enjoying the process and connecting with your viewers. The rest will follow. What the video doesn't explicitly say is that finding your own path on KZbin requires self-awareness and a deep understanding of your target audience. It's not just about ignoring generic advice; it's about actively seeking out what works for your specific niche and content style. This might involve analyzing your analytics, experimenting with different formats, and engaging with your viewers to understand their preferences. Ultimately, success on KZbin comes from creating content that your audience loves, and that starts with knowing who you are and who you want to reach.

[@FunkyGamerBoi]

Okkk

[@eclecticx]

I'm running a gaming channel so I post pretty much every day, but that comes with a caveat. I post a playthrough video once a week more or less, and follow that up with shorts, game tips, and combat technique videos cut from that playthrough video that take me through the remainder of the week and sometimes longer. Templates are KEY, for thumbnails AND videos. Consistent trailers and intro's and outro's lend a professional look and feel. And DO NOT underestimate the importance of good sound quality. Speak loudly, clearly and get real familiar with a program like Adobe Audition.

Starting a new channel is similar to playing old school minesweeper. For some reason you have fun playing it, but really have no idea and have no clue what you’re doing. You might have some success, but have some mistakes, but still no idea as to the reason why. Once you learn, you not only learn what helps you grow, but what could also lead to negative results. Put off growing a channel for years. Finally bit the bullet and started. I appreciate all the tips you guys offer here. It’s come with joy and headaches, but I’m learning everyday, and finding other likeminded individuals. Every time I feel like I’m not doing well, one of these videos pops up and I can see the growth I’ve had in that time. Nice little boost of re-encouragement lol.

I can relate to your saying "I can see the growth I've had..." I purposely keep those early, jittery videos I made (before I knew creators used camera stands, lighting, tripods, backdrops, and shot top-down) when I started so that others can see where I began and hopefully gain the confidence to just jump in where they are now and build on that. Making videos you know peeps will see and judge makes you nervous, but those nerves calm down quite a bit with practice. And the growth does come.

You laid out some solid advise, success is seen different by each person and create content that you would like to watch. I'm just doing what I want and letting things go as they may. And if that entertains someone, awesome. Where I'm at in my life I just want a creative outlet, that's it. In the past I had a different channel, it was monetized and about Overwatch 1 content, which died when the adpocalypse came and it got stripped of the status. I was trying to be successful then. That adpocolypse did make me not bother to create for long while. But now I don't care, you only live once so express yourself. YT monetization brings in issues people haven't considered and in a rush to be Internet famous a lot of people aren't ready for the massive social engagement that would come with it.

[@showtale8325]

They don't do that. Trust me. I just added a second channel .it was just as difficult to get any traction with the new as it was with the original in the beginning.

12:42 yep I came here from my recommended, which weirdly started sending me a ton of videos about growing from a small channel to a bigger one randomly. I'm about halfway through making 11 videos and haven't posted in 2 months. Didn't look stuff up for this. Just, one day. Started getting these and its really making me feel a lot better to see these. I kept worrying for so so long that because I am failing miserably at making a weekly video that I'm just inconsistent and thats why I don't have a big following. But, I've been noticing that I watch every single video from certain people who post maybe twice a year. It feels good to hear the confirmation to what I was starting to think - that maybe I don't have to post that often. A low quality video will perform poorly on my channel every time. A high quality video every now and then... that's what I'm about to strive for. It fits better with my schedule anyways

[@divatalk9011]

I need some major advice. My biggest video had over 400k views. I can’t monetise it because it has four different instances of copyright protected content found. The video still gets about 150 views daily. It’s a documentary style video where j make commentary on a singer. If I dispute these four claims under fair use and lose, is there a big risk I’ll lose my whole channel????

I think that the frequency someone should put stuff out there depends on the kinda channel they're doing and what will work for that. Someone doing video essays is going to have a different set of needs then someone who pops the camera on after watching the latest episode of an anime and casually gabs about it, or someone who uploads chill game stuff for example.

[@T33nugh]

I’ve learned even as a new gaming channel that I only gain subscribers when I stop worrying about it. I just like making my videos without too much worry. I just play my weird indie/ horror games and go on about my day. I used to look at it as a chore when I started worrying about analytics. You get too much in your head. I saw an interview where someone said to just post and go. Don’t worry about it doing well. I really haven’t been doing this long at all and I don’t have many subscribers but I’m confident I’ll get there off of good vibes and putting in the work

[@joojominkah]

First of all, know that lots of the subs you got over there are there bcox of the videos you were posting and different content may drive away some of them.But in my suggestion, don't at once delete the old videos, rather start posting your new niche videos and even though some of the subs will unsubscribe but there's no problem about that bcox new subs will come. Once you have perhaps about 10 videos of the new niche, you can start deleting the old niche videos but if you wouldn't mind, you can leave the old videos and continue with the new niche videos. Don't try starting a new channel while you have that much subs already.

Very helpful! I went down to 2-3 uploads instead of daily but this is all soo good. I didn’t think about the template project.. def going to try.

Great inputs for newcomers on KZbin who have recently started their channel or are yet to do so.

[@SvengelskaBlondie]

Just recently gotten back into making KZbin content, trying to find a good balancing act of just making stuff as well as learning about how KZbin works and things to think about to improve the stuff I'm making.

[@ManicPixieCatLady]

Can creators submit for audits? I am at a loss trying to figure out what's wrong with my reach.. I had a month of bad content at the start of my channel in september 2023 and posting every single day since then literally everything is ignored. I have 30k followers on instagram after two months... so what's going on?

[@Longdayvlog]

Good advice. "Get Started". I also enjoy the process rather than putting too much pressure on myself.

This is why I am considering off loading some content to another channel more and more. My current channel does live stream coworking pomodoro sprints and workshops on writing/creative business owning and then books on my own books... niche down and what not might be further ahead...

[@MindTwistGR]

In addition to what you (obviously correctly) state in this video, as a small channel (which makes the mistake of uploading shorts and long videos), I do the following: I upload 3 short videos a week and one long video every Sunday related to last week's shorts. This way (I know, I know it's not very good to mix shorts and longs on the same channel, as the followers associated with the shorts bury the longs and the followers associated with the longs bury the shorts, but this is what I have chosen as a pattern for my channel) I DEFINITELY gain one thing: Calmness. I've tried in the past busy, with a youtube channel and within two months my brain (and my family) turned to salad. For me there are two ways: Either you see KZbin as your main source of income so you dedicate yourself to it and work with a schedule, concentration and tactics, or you have KZbin as a side job (hobby) and you set it up so that it REMAINS a hobby. So far with about 2 hours a day I have a steady growth (not worrying about whether it will grow. I'm more interested in experimenting, provoking the viewer's curiosity, "playing" with my potential audience), with, average, twelve subscribers per video, I'm relaxed, I'm constantly EXPERIMENTING, I'm looking to find what excites the viewer, I'm looking to improve what I'm doing, I'm experimenting, I'm enjoying it. What I generally have to say, without being a "successful content creator" is "whatever you do on KZbin, if you want it to be seen it has to be good, it has to be current, it has to be well done". All the rest are details that will make the difference when you have, for example, 300 thousand followers and you are trying to get even more. Of course, it goes without saying that you also pay attention to the "little bottle": The thumbnail. (otherwise the prospective viewer won't click even at gunpoint). Anyway, for me the main thing is to do something good, something beautiful. If there is that they will see you. And when those who see you obviously increase enough then you start to dig into the details to grow more. Let's not forget, not all viewers have the same quality criteria. You attract other viewers initially and others by increasing quality.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thanks. I need this. My channel is somewhat niche so it's small. I started it as more of a legacy. I have slightly less than 600 subs. If I am trying to crank out content, I get tired and overwhelmed. Shorts are harder when you are playing music.

[@Jelinofficial-sr1vf]

I didn't get this in my notifications but i always get my notifications. I checked my bell notification and its set to all. I noticed you had a community post 6 hrs ago and a video yesterday but within the 24 hrs. I suppose i didnt get your video notification bc you posted more than 3x in the last 24 hrs.

Tags or hashtags. Theres a difference

[@billpowers1358]

Do you have any recommendations regarding TikTok advertising? We're a small channel on KZbin, but also share content on TikTok. Love your videos! bill

[@opentuningguitar]

Posting every day definitely seems like overkill, but I think when you're new, posting frequently is pretty helpful. I'm not sure how useful it is for gaining views or subscribers, but it definitely helps in learning the process of quickly creating videos, thumbnails, descriptions, etc. as well as getting useful feedback from analytics. Thanks so much for these videos, though. I'm still new to this, and your guys' videos provide actually useful, pragmatic advice.

[@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing]

In my experience, volume of videos directly correlates to subscriber and view counts in almost (but not quite - it's a bit worse than) a linear fashion. I don't create content (and don't intend to make profit from it), I forward videos and sometimes edit raw footage from China as a hobby and been observing the data just for the fun of it. You upload more - you get more views and more subscribers, but posting 3 videos in a day is the same as posting 3 videos over a week (seems slightly better to space it out, even). I didn't notice any benefit for posting often and a lot, unless you can produce unlimited amount of content without burning out.

[@keithparker1346]

I prefer to see more interesting but less frequent videos. I think however when a channel is established that you do stick to whatever frequency you've decided particularly if it's weekly...kind of like seeing certain channels output in specific days

[@KingKage_Plug]

i think you need to make gaps between your upload .becuz i am also same as you i have uploaded 4 videos per day and i get more subs but like VidIQ say my channel starts falling like from february 15 my channel start drop like from 29K-40K views and from 89-150 Subs to 2000-2500 views and -2,0,1,9 subs per day so i want to tell you from now on make gaps between days like or upload 4 days per week

[@The_UnknownKing-BlimpBosses]

​@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing Sometimes the Algorithm might work a bit slow though, at least for shorts. You might post 2 shorts in one day and one gets 5k views and the other gets like almost no views. But then the next day the one that has barely any bumps up to 3k out of nowhere.

[@KingKage_Plug]

@@The_UnknownKing-BlimpBosses Yea i have shorts like one gets 7K view another about 400 then in next day that video get 13K views

[@KingKage_Plug]

You are right i straight upload 4 videos per day for 6 month and from February 15 my channel starts falling i was so confused. But now i understand why my channel is down 😖😖😖

[@joojominkah]

Haaba, 4 videos per day for 6months is too much for me to be subscribed to such a channel.i think as a beginner,if you uploaded 4 videos per day, the minimum must be for 2 or 3 weeks then you minimize the uploads. We all hate our feeds to be spammed 😂

Keep going on your adventure when creating a channel, don't be discouraged, sometimes you will want to stop and leave everything but ask yourself how far you really want to go and if it is time to leave what you started or is it time to gain momentum and continue growing.

Here I Am, starting a small channel. I just want to produce the same videos I had always consumed, and also “do something” with my passion about nature 🍃 I still have to figure out what my content will exactly be, because I have a lot of ideas and so little time (as everyone nowadays 😅), this will take time and work for sure but I just wanted to leave a message for everyone in this situation and for myself in the future: Don’t give up! 💚

[@shelleywinters6763]

I'm working on improving the quality of my videos atm. I posted a fully HD video, but I don't think it did much better than my SD ones. I also re check the video before I upload it to make sure there are no errors in the editing. It looks like my better results are when I do a book review. I just try to do the best I can and learn new skills as I go along.

[@ChuckleChannel-Jokes]

How can i make my channel come up like yours?

[@hobbybike51]

The best tip I've gotten from you guys is to pump a related vid at the end instead of the "like, comment, sub, etc." It's obvious to do yet I never thought of it lol! Thanks.

[@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing]

Are you sure it matters a lot? I've been doing it for a while and eventually stopped, because it was attracting like 1-3% additional views, not more than that. Maybe it works better on long-form videos. On shorts nobody seems to click on that. Of course, content type and audience matters. Maybe it's different for everyone. I decided that I care more about the additional line of text blocking the actual video than the couple percent of clicks it will gain.

[@hobbybike51]

No clue, I haven't uploaded anything with that change yet 🤔. It just makes logical sense to me, like suggestive selling. Also, it probably depends on your niche.

[@MutantProductions]

I’m pretty sure my vids don’t suck. I very much enjoy doing the research and creating new ones. My biggest and greatest problem is finding my audience. That it a skill that totally eludes me. Doesn’t help that I’m not pinger holed. I have a broad variety of interest and if I narrowed it down, I’d get bored and quit. I love my variety and I need to find people who love the same. Now, how do I do that?

[@Drganguli]

I found that posting less helps the channel. Older videos get seen and the posted video gets more time to get digested by the audience. After trial and error going from one a week to three a week, I found that two a week is optimal with one short, at least for my channel. I have settled on Tuesday and Friday long form videos and a Sunday short.

[@brynnahower]

it’s definitely a minefield trying to weed out the actual good advice from all the rest. thank you so much for this video!

[@13undyUK]

Great Advice Rob, feeling pumped for my next creation ❤

[@P_Souliotis]

Based on my own most viewed videos and other channels' videos, I concluded that the most successful advice one could give about KZbin shorts is not about timing or even quality of a video, but putting in videos a kind of "hook part" like text and speech to make them look engaging, even if they have misleading titles, text or speech on the first few seconds!... In fact viewers don't get engaged from what they see in the end, but they get engaged by the intros and the first part instead of the main activity of a video!...

[@VALLANCEGAMING]

I use to livestream on Yt In 2015 and reached 1.8k subs, made many friends and many returned to each stream everyday, I was monetised but didnt earn anything. I had to take a break as I was always tired and it impacted my job performance which was a tough place to work as it is. I then returned to streaming but on PC instead of PS4 this time and my views were not as great but I was able to welcome gamers from all 3 platforms with the use of crossplay but still my channel took a hit as Yt wasn't pushing notifications to my subs as much anymore. I ultimately stopped streaming on Yt and maybe uploaded one or two clips every now and then but it was considered a dead channel to me, the era was over. But then something happened, I started uploading again in April of this year, just short clips that are either goofy or informative and I've had 250k views since April 15th til now, my overall impressions for the channel hit 1.1million and my CTR is at least 7.3%, so Yt is actively pushing my content, now I just need to be consistent with the good stuff, I noticed that videos starting with words like "How" and "This" etc seem to catch people's eye. My next thing to do is to create thumbnails.
