How to Grow a Successful YouTube Channel and Become a Full-time Creator

[@jackywacky4361]

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.

[@RobertoBlake]

You nailed it

[@wouterdegruijl4303]

If I had more money I'd buy your coaching, until that time just binging every LIVE and video you put out. Much appreciated man!!

[@RobertoBlake]

I appreciate that!

[@homemakingwithdenise]

“Passing over dollars to pick up pennies.” That was huge.

[@RobertoBlake]

It’s incredibly common among creators

[@lifepointswithronda2968]

Wow. This video absolutely makes sense about how driving the traffic to your own website is priceless information and really should be the focus. I'm not even sure how this video popped up on my feed, but I am totally grateful. ❤

[@RobertoBlake]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Officialflymedia]

Roberto thank you brother! I watch/listen to these livestreams as I go about my day. It provides 2 things, motivation and more knowledge. I’m a huge fan thank you brother. You are never afraid to hurt feeling but you tell the raw truth.

[@RobertoBlake]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@Meazzy2k]

[@sisterkamilah4373]

Thanks for keeping it REAL. It’s what I needed to hear today.

[@RobertoBlake]

No problem 😌

[@lunazamoraart]

This is golden material!!! Finally! I have content. Now I can’t start learning and doing!! I want to be a live streamer on how my art process in AI.

[@RobertoBlake]

The main thing then will be packaging for an audience

[@Leo1-BrawlStars]

I have almost 1,000 subscribers! 😁🥳

[@RobertoBlake]

Nice work!

[@theewords7637]

Thanks Roberto

[@RobertoBlake]

You're welcome

[@archvaldor]

If Roberto sounds slightly grumpy it is because he is a) Giving away info which will make you rich, often for free. b) A significant minority of stupid people don't understand this and attack him for producing amazing content. If you do youtube for any length of time you will also become slightly grumpy for much of the same reasons.

[@peachxtaehyung]

He's not even grumpy. He just tells it how it is

[@TripHopeInstrumentalBeat-tx8il]

@@peachxtaehyung Exactly:)

[@DutchUltra]

Because he just does the same boring 3 hour presentation each and every time... that's gotta be painful lol 😅

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@DutchUltra don't watch then if it's "boring" to you...

[@RobertoBlake]

@DutchUltra You’re welcome to watch fake prank videos that provide no value…

[@ActuallyAmoonguss]

I think this is one of the most clearly articulated channels in the niche. Thank you for the free YT content as well as the way you make your points in a way I find very digestible. I am on the hardest part of the grind, just joined the partner program at 500 subs and reaching for 1000. Any good gems you could drop on me for Pokémon?

[@RobertoBlake]

Wow, thank you!

[@RobertoBlake]

For Pokemon channels the main thing is going to be packaging and ideas more than anything. It also doesn’t have to be something that hasn’t been done before. Interesting is more important than original.

[@AuricUnity]

1:24:00 Utility and value is absolute FACTS📠

[@shaykhchilly8529]

So much free game here what a gem thank you Roberto!

[@RobertoBlake]

What was the most helpful?

Here for the replay! 💰💰💰 💰MONEY MONDAY!!!💰💰💰💰

[@RobertoBlake]

Appreciate you…

[@DavidVenters]

hi roberto good stream , i honestly think some big changes coming 30% less click thru rate on google ads is a big one people not using google so much as a search engine , people using social media and also ai , particularly co pilot is useful for searching for info as it amalgamates stuf from around web, also virtual influencers

[@RobertoBlake]

There is change in the wind for sure

[@Meazzy2k]

love the braids on you 🎉

[@ChattieCathie]

10th for 100k, 2nd for 1M and 2nd for 10M for me

[@RobertoBlake]

👊🏾👊🏾

[@Officialflymedia]

Riberto, quick question? What is the average watch time on one of your KZbin videos? Excluding live streams, you have been very clear that those typically have a longer watch time

[@RobertoBlake]

Great question. It varied depending on what I’m uploading generally beyond streams but if I’m posting normally then 4-5 minutes. That’s on 10-12 minute videos If I’m posting things more often that are in the vain of policy updates that are 5-7 minutes then it’s 3-4 minutes.

[@Officialflymedia]

@@RobertoBlake thank you! As newer creator you get I your feelings seeing 2-3 minute of watch time on a video that you spent hours making. So it’s extremely important to understand and see that those are normal numbers. Thank you for the transparency as always. Do you have a video regarding how to get into the Amazon creator program. I’m already in the affiliate program

[@KyvensKorner]

Hi

[@bobbybigz3408]

How do you hook a listener then ease in to a conversation?

[@RobertoBlake]

Better script writing is where I would start

[@peachxtaehyung]

I dont know if you know much about it but i am in the kpop niche i mainly do ranking videos, videos showing my favorite kpop songs per month or year, and collabs with other kpop youtubers. I have tried memberships, merch, and just having a place people can donate one time as well as kpop and also Amazon affiliate links. I've gotten nothing in any of it. Do you have anymore ideas? I have 2k subscribers.

[@RobertoBlake]

The niche doesn’t really have a “buying audience” in my opinion, as the only thing they will buy will be related to the KPOP artist they like

[@kayrok]

In my search you were on the top 5, but with the way google is doing their AI search results, it is a mess. They think that they're making it better, it is not. So, other pages were repeated and that put you down in like tye 7th position.

[@RobertoBlake]

I agree with that

[@soblezz]

🥰🥰🥰

[@staraffirmations]

Im quickly almost at 1000 subscribers 🎉

[@RobertoBlake]

What has been working for you the most?

[@VincentConard]

I’m a Christian. I’m one of those Jesus followers who takes the Bible seriously and who is convinced that the Bible prophesied about nuclear war (Ezekiel), Artificial Intelligence (Revelation), and the Second Coming of Christ as King 👑 . How can someone like ME with such divisive dogmatic beliefs start a successful Bible Prophecy KZbin channel?

[@wouterdegruijl4303]

Brother, I'm not a Christian, but that sounds fascinating to me. I think tons of guys I know would be interested to hear your ideas about this.

[@peachxtaehyung]

Well just remember the Bible has been translated many times so some things in it may not be what the original one said. Just a heads up. Also please don't use it as being hateful against anyone. Otherwise I wish you good luck

[@DutchUltra]

There's plenty of nuts out there that would love that, just go for it 😅

[@RobertoBlake]

Utilize charisma and storytelling. But in theory a more practical direction is what Myron Golden is doing

[@JoyceDade]

[@daviddavis7959]

Where is the fun of the game with hard fouls

[@RobertoBlake]

Depends on how scrappy you are
