How To Grow a Gaming Channel in 2023 (30 EASY TIPS)

[@MidnightMan]

The gaming space on KZbin is very saturated and competitive, so breaking through requires becoming "known for something", not just being a generic gamer posting generic content behind low quality thumbnails and titles (You'll get better at these as you keep uploading). Try to use successful channels in your gaming niche as examples (don't copy) on what you can do to improve your own content. Compete with yourself, getting a little better every video. Thank you guys for watching and I hope you took something away from this video, it's been 2 years in the making.

[@MykeMellow]

Super informative video. Much appreciated! 7th-8th grade average reading level 😬

[@_MosMos_]

Mind if I said this.. Keep going on producing..

[@TinyHappyLion]

Ty bro, that’s great for good quality and persistence. Sometimes you can get demotivated, especially if u are still studying.

[@Leon_Aldrich]

Agreed. I see KZbin's uploading blah content within edits or lackluster thumbnails and then wonder why their KZbin channel is not growing.

[@EliteSwirlyOnYT]

Hi, I’m just trying to start a KZbin channel and this video popped up. This helped me out a lot. Could I please get a shout out?

[@macrothundergaming]

Thank you for the heads up, currently starting my own gaming channel, hopefully my channel can grow someday 😊 good luck to all of you as well! ❤🎉

[@amboyyyofficial9371]

If you’re reading this, your KZbin channel will grow, keep grinding!

[@gabi_hart]

Thanks man 🎉❤ I just had the idea to make my channel tonight and this is really sweet 🧁😂

I just started my channel not long time ago. i found it really hard to get views and subscribers. But i am not giving up. I have passion.

[@defaulton]

Don't give up. I'm gonna try proving myself I can get 100 subs by the end of this year on another channel to prove my friends wrong. So, just follow what he said, and you'll be fine.

[@RichardMotzki]

passion didnt last long

[@zendRQ]

It's because your not dedicating in your thumbnails and video editing and the type of content u put out

[@DukeofDandy]

I just want to say that, of all the videos I've seen that talk about growing channels, this one is BY FAR the most helpful I've seen (including videos from the very channels you recommended). Seriously, hats off to you dude! Me and a ton of others really appreciate the work you've done here!

[@StokedSessions]

I’ve been mainly focusing on shorts, and working on obtaining subs. Just started posting 2 months ago, but I’ve definitely seen growth. Went from 30 to 85 subscribers. AWESOME VIDEO!💯 You’re tips are right on, and help a lot plus validate what I’ve been doing (is working) Slowly but surely. KEEP AT IT EVERYONE! 🤙🏼❤️💛💚🙌🏼 I use inShot to edit.

[@DeMoneds]

As a beginner gaming livestreamer, I applied these steps and saw the results during my first stream! Thanks a lot

[@sairim9952]

I have been doing KZbin for 2-3 years now. I must say that I am still tiny but enjoying myself and doing what I can. I decided to watch this video just for fun I might get but it helped me quite a bit. I thank you for helping us all see some stuff that would be difficult otherwise. Keep up the good work and once again thank you for all your help, not just for this video but for the tutorials and reviews you post from stuff you might buy like a capture card!

[@pointbrake3183]

I haven’t been at it anywhere is long as u but I can say stay in motivation upload more regularly Mabey once or twice a week and if your content isn’t working then try and do different games. And I understand this is ur language but Mabey pop ur titles into translate and get a broader audience

I cried watching your video 😭❤️❤️ the motivation is real. I hope my channel grows with time 😭❤️

[@liveagaminglife]

This was one of the most informative videos I have seen thus far that has great advice on how to start and improve a gaming channel! I'm bookmarking this to rewatch and take notes ❤

[@2pacShakurAmaru]

Gaming is the best machine in the world though it's wild, you gotta ride or die.

[@ZombieGirlDad]

Literally one of the best channels I’ve seen. So too the point no fluff just actual tips that help . This is gold !

[@libangangpagong]

Hello. I just want to say to all creators out there, we can do it! Thank you for the TIPS!

[@SuperDrum94]

Thank you for this, I'm trying to grow my channel due to health issues 🙏

[@DenniSGamingWorld]

I started a KZbin gaming channel playing story driven games to just have fun meet new people share what I love doing makes me happy

[@MidnightMan]

That’s awesome! If you’re having fun keep going with it, it’s not always necessary to take it so seriously if that’s not what you’re going for right now! 😀

[@DenniSGamingWorld]

@@MidnightMan respect

[@Jadino_s]

Thank you so much, I really hope i take your advise seriously and grown my channel!😊

[@MastermindGaming1426]

KZbin is not a sprint, it's a marathon, don't give up, we can get there together 💪🏼..

[@dkdoesgaming989]

It's hard sometimes to see most of your things at zero though.

[@wundertam]

I just got started and it is very scary in the beginning! Especially talking to what feels like an empty room. I decided to go with indie games. Hopefully one day I can make people happy and support other channels as well!! Thank you for this video

[@ThaCanzAZ]

I’m just starting my gaming channel. This is exactly what I needed. Been getting decent views so far. Now looking to have a better performance on my page.

[@RobertGucciTv]

Im gunna change my 3rd channel into gaming off my ps5 thanks for your vid 😀

[@MidnightMan]

Anytime! Happy to spread my knowledge! I'm sure you know a lot as well with your level of success reached!

[@mrsnulch]

This video really helped me get 1k views on my first video. I really appreciate you man. Especially those thumbnail tips and fonts at 7:50, but the whole thing is full of good advice. This is probably the only "how to grow your youtube channel" video I've seen that really delivers for gaming channels. THANK YOU!

[@MoshiMan-bi5qd]

I’m trying to have a gaming channel this is helping so much🎉🎉🎉 keep up the good work❤❤❤❤

[@Chankanta]

Im about to buy a elgato 4kX it’s all I need for my PS5 content creation. I will love to stream in twitch, set my self for challenges and after that stream. Grab the stream video and edited and posted on my KZbin. With a dope thumbnail and all the stuff you hint me with. Thank you bro I appreciate you. Goodluck to everyone ❤️🙏🏼

[@kidlethal3340]

I appreciate this video so much. My only question would be what do you suggest a walkthrough gaming channel should do to grow? I want to be a gaming channel similar to 8-BitRyan/CoreyXKenshin but I don’t think they would be considered walkthrough channels. Your video didn’t mention much on walkthrough channels so I thought I’d ask here. Thanks again for the amazing video.

[@Gamerlingual]

No joke, I found some valuable resources here. Thank you. I started a KZbin channel on doing game controllers. I’m very happy doing the job and feel passion. But when I first started, I felt camera shy and still haven’t shown my face. I sounded nervous and bored at first, but in my last video, I used a script and tried to sound a little more enthusiastic and used gifs to add some comedy to the controller reviews. I’m not sure if it’s best to show my face or not, with 58 subscribers and 16 videos in 2 months. I’m slowing down content a little to see what else I can do to get better. The problem is, I can’t find anyone to critique my videos. Is there a website you would recommend that could give feedback to my videos, especially the most recent I published? Thank you for the video.

[@bang_acil_]

This is killer content tips! thank you man for creating this, really helps

[@Addrat]

Recently started creating content in a Niche I have followed for years and this may be the most important step, at least for me

[@BranWolfYT]

About to hit my 2 year anniversary. And you really helped me with settings and elgato set ups and all that stuff so I appreciate you and everything felt to hard and crazy when I started and now I have a good idea I enjoy it and I'm sitting at 319 subs with over 95,000 channel views and I'm really having fun.

[@MidnightMan]

That’s the most important thing at the end of the day. If you’re it having fun what’s the point?

[@Mikeystaxx]

Thanks midnight I needed this im so close to getting monetized and I been getting to complacent with my videos instead of trying to improve them.

[@MidnightMan]

It’s tough, one thing you can do is check your retention graph in your analytics for each of your current videos. That will tell you where people are clicking off, use that data to see where you can make tweaks to your new videos. Also don’t forget to check others doing similar videos as you, see their style and content structure to get ideas. 💡

[@Anti-Villain-Wolf]

After two years of uploading mostly gaming videos and struggling BIG TIME, I have decided to re-evaluate what games I upload, especially since I found out the hard way that most of my videos are in SD and not great visually, even though my PS4 is set to record in 1080p. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.

[@MidnightMan]

A lot of views decrease in September because people are going back to school and do not have as much time to watch videos like in the summer.

[@MCVAMP666]

​@@MidnightManwell I followed and got no where lol and it's the summer time all the kids are home too!!

[@FitAp3]

Thank you. This made me just start uploading videos and bother with the rest of the details after.

[@kaleblackey9933]

You’re the best KZbin ever your work expire me

[@Shebacca6000]

[@Neurogrooverecords]

Thank you bro ❤ I just stated with my small channel

[@wilasha]

You’ve given so many gems in this video, it’s crazy! I appreciate it a lot!!

[@noiseattackzine]

Hey MidnightMen, this video is very helpful. I liked the way you explained in detail from top to bottom on how to grow the YT channel. Even I believe not only for gaming channels but can also apply to other channels' format. Keep it up and after watching two of your videos. I am now your subscriber. Cheers & Beers!!!

[@Hendrix259]

Awesome video really appreciate it as I’m just starting out my Chanel trying to figure out what kind of gaming content people want to watch

[@MidnightMan]

Find that nice intersection between what you like to make, but what people want to watch
