[@liamhays3181]

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.

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!! Thank you for your content!!

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

[@MashTec]

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

[@DiychanUg]

Thank you

[@jovyzen17]

Thank you for the info, beginners here

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.

[@raikohhayabusa2740]

Thanks👍

[@followthestormtv]

helpful thank you.

[@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 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.

[@Harlekunt]

a video for new channels that isnt "copy whats popular, doesnt matter what youre interested in or what kind of person you are"? Honestly surprised at not being disappointed

[@TheHistoryCode125]

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.

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

[@NoraBhsas]

I think it depends on the channel itself, if let’s say it’s a channel that follows trends like dancing trends or singing trends or challenges like the older ice challenge then it’s more profitable to upload as frequently as possible per week like daily or every two days but if let’s say you have a channel that is “deeper” than that which serves a higher purpose or another personal purpose then give yourself time to work on your content and ideas and upload less frequently per month. It’s also good to point out that with channels that have higher responsibility, it will also have more obligation so if let’s say you have a health channel or a healing channel that has videos which people depend on and need to follow in order to heal themselves or gain insights about overcoming challenges or social life then it’s also best to upload more frequently but not necessarily daily because people need you in those cases, so bottom line is, it depends on the content of your channel.

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

[@Lord-Of-Wings]

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.

This video will be confusing to many because you tell them something like SEO doesn't matter but then you say that SEO is important, and many won't pay attention to the second part. KZbin is the second largest search engine in the world. People need to remember this. Also, people should do a lot of research before starting a channel. In fact, they should have knowledge of the topic before starting. This makes them look genuine and know what they're talking about. This can overcome poor video quality as well. In the support groups for beginners on Facebook, people constantly question why they get no views despite constant posting. They have poor titles and thumbnails. Some basic research beforehand would easily have helped them.

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.

[@HalfLifeHippie]

@6:35. Most important thing ever. I was creating content jn a very specialized niche using a bot. It was somewhat grueling to create each week's video, and I was not getting much reception at all. Now I'm vlogging my life and my journey to live my best life at midlife, and in 2 weeks, I'm already gaining more traction than I ever did with the other project. I try to vlog daily because it challenges myself to be consistent - my biggest deficit. It's hard work, but it's authentic to who I am. And most of all, it's FUN!

This is great advice!!! Thank you! My Fitness channel, I post every day in shorts... now I am trying to make longer videos showing my fitness journey... and while I can do it, it can take time, there can be minor issues such as editing being minimal...

The tip, regarding templates, is definitely a good one. And creating a channel based around your own interests and personal knowledge is very important. I'm currently working on starting my first KZbin channel, and appreciate your tips from personal experience.

[@dbproductreviews6319]

Definitely agreed with this!

[@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.

[@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.

[@KatallinaVT]

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.

[@CreatorsTheories]

Great advice that makes sense! I totally agree that there are educators that just care about their own numbers and will say anything without actually thinking it through. I started my own content but more focused on theories that work and have worked for me as a content creator in traditional media and other creators and channels, and most of the things I've learned go back to basics, which are theories taught in media school or marketing.

[@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????

[@guanciottaman]

No, you just won't be able to monetise that video

[@SuperMarioDogs]

I’ve heard people say that when they disputed the claims and lost they got a copyright strike. I would research it more before disputing.

[@divatalk9011]

@@guanciottaman it’s frustrating because Ive multiple other videos that follow the same format and received no copyright problems, yet the potentially most lucrative does 💀

[@Mr_Guaq]

Pretty sure you’ll just get a strike. Avoid those at all costs.

[@BrianReplies]

You’ll get a strike…but it falls off after 90 days. So if I was you I was file the dispute unless I have a bunch of other stuff that is likely to get a strike. The risk-vs-reward seems to be in favor of filing the dispute.

[@RobertPlank]

I really enjoyed this video! It changed how I think about making videos on KZbin. First, I learned that posting every day isn’t the magic trick for growth-quality matters a lot more than quantity. Second, I never thought about making templates for my thumbnails or videos; that’s a smart way to save time and make things look better! Lastly, I liked the idea that it’s okay to not focus too much on SEO right away. Connecting with the audience is way more important. It’s a reminder to have fun and stay true to what you love! Thanks for the great tips!

[@Ardyrobeats]

Am a small channel amd what I have recognized thus far is quality, informative, attention grabbing content engages well with audiences who genuinely make connections with the content. I think if you do it for the right reasons also makes the youtube grind all the worth while.

Unrivaled passion is the fuel I run on! When thinking of creative ideas I often revisit the question, "What do you want to be known for in this space."... that's become a pretty nice starting point. 😊😊

I’m wondering if KZbin promotes videos from channels that were created not so long ago (less than 2 months ago) Is there something like that or not? Just genuinely interesting

[@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. As a new channel you need to post more frequently. Definitely get a style for your thumbnail. It also has helped me to share these videos far and wide on other platforms

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.

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 😖😖😖

[@jominkah]

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 😂

[@KingKage_Plug]

@@jominkahtry it i download videos from tik tok and youtube then upload with small edit then done

[@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.

[@slikkartmotivation]

I will say this, the key to achieving anything is all about you and how you choose to do. I started my channel back in 2013 and posted one video, and gave up on youtube to focus on my Instagram instead. Shorts story I gained about 100k followers, and i lost a bunch, lol. However, about a year ago, I decided to post on youtube. To be honest, I gained about 4k subscribers in 8 months, and I am at 5k subscribers. The truth I posted 3 to 4 times a week, and sometimes I don't due to not having time. So everyone is telling about their story. The only story that matters is yours. In the end, what works for others may not work for you. Keep doing you, and it will pay off as long as you don't give up, like I did, because I could have had the same amount of subscribers or even more just like my Instagram page 😊🙏.

[@r.e.d.podcasting]

Yeah and that’s really the truth. You uploading 100 times a day or once every eight months doesn’t matter. These videos are likened to hats that are size S/M. You can’t possibly expect everyone to fit a hat with slash sizes the same way. Keep doing what you can. Be patient and you will grow. This KZbinr grew as did others but times were different. Now the algorithm really controls a lot and that naturally takes time! Before following this generic advice check to see how long this person has been on KZbin. You’ll find most KZbinrs who have hit the millions have been on for 8-10 years plus. It just takes time!

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.

[@LebaneserScrooge]

Posting a video every day would be insane. Quality would go down so much, and you'd get burnt out very quickly. BUT, it's easy to post a poll, quiz, pic, etc. on the community tab so that you're at least posting *something* every day. I try to do that. Then I release a cooking video every 4 days (with a shorts version of those every other day), a documentary every month, and an interview every month. Then I just fill the rest in the rest with community posts. But that way at least *something* is getting posted every single day.
