I made 300 YouTube videos and learned this

[@creator-booth]

The 300 videos were posted to Film Booth, many have been unlisted. I made a video about why I unlisted them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvakn-vhaebjJo

[@transmathematica]

Small KZbinr here. I was wiped out by long covid for a year, during which time I uploaded nothing! When I came back, I saw my subscribers had grown by several hundred, I had long form videos with hundreds of views and shorts with tens of thousands of views! This has given me enough information to develop and test strategies.

[@VladMatei]

You can do it!

[@TheTukkee]

covid was probably best time to start a KZbin channel, whole world was at home.

[@BibleTalkJared]

As a new content creator on KZbin. Thank you 1,000x !

[@beawomantoremember]

Yes such great advice 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 on the same boat as you 🙌🏼

Keep pushing!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

2025...I'm ready!

[@creator-booth]

Thanks Reese!!

[@AndrzejGieraltCreative]

@reesequeen how has it impacted your channel? I'm not sure which of the videos on your channel are before/after.

[@TheOddEarth-Show]

THANK YOU! This made me feel so much better about the whole thing. Support is immensely important. I started liking and subscribing to other small channels, watching their videos, and just interacting with people who understand how hard KZbin is, and it's made a world of difference to my creativity and positivity because only other KZbinrs really know how this rollercoaster feels.

[@TeacherEspe]

Indeed 👍🏾 😊!

[@GermainGamez]

Love this!

Its the hardest thing I've ever done 😊

​@@creator-boothI second that!!!!!!

[@MAJOYDACIA]

This is exactly what I NEED TODAY! Im a newbie, 2 months old content creator, the dont count your subs really helped think more matured about the whole game, I will subscribe to your channel because I can relate to your style and your tips are gold, so thank you!

[@libakan]

Very useful thanks! Just hit the 1000 subs mark a few days ago about to hit 4000 watch hours in 365 days today or tomorrow, and all of this advice really hit home. It took me 2 years to get here, 1 year very sporadic posting and 1 year of serious work... and now conscious that the real work starts if I want to grow, and I really need to embed YT in my day to day lifestyle along with my job, making time for my kids and else.... but I feel like sky is the limit right now!😀

[@QuietStrengthYT]

I have been watching hours and hours of content like this every week to keep my channel going in the correct direction as I build it. This has been one of the best, if not the best one yet. Sincerely, thank you for making this one.

[@creator-booth]

Great to hear!

[@mrboost101]

OMG ive been watching you for 2 years now and THIS is the video that made everything crystal clear for me! Thank you! Please make more mega dumps of info, this touched so many perfect little issues!

[@erum.m]

One of the best videos I've seen on the topic. Most people just rehash the same material but you had some unique points I have not seen elsewhere. Really appreciate that. And it definitely held my attention...that span has been going down for a while.

[@Doughtinator]

Plot twist, Ed didn't forget to film those Lessons, it was PLANNED that those lessons would be filmed like that from the start...

OMG!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

It was during an interview with Micheal J. Fox and Mother Teresa, ...an audience member stood up and started signing a song he wrote about insanity. They hauled him off...with a blessing. ( Rumor has it that he was eating too many sweets; once the doctors solved that he went on to flourish at Vid Summit ).

[@creator-booth]

[@MoviesatGrandmasHouse]

So much great information! We are excited about our upcoming content. As a video podcast there's a lot to learn but these are perfect timing toips for us! Great video!

[@IntenseMcNapkin]

I've been wanting to be a successful youtuber since i was in middle school. It is around 10 years later and I am still not giving up on my dream. I really just want to make stuff that I am proud of and continue to push myself to have an idea and make it. I try to get better and sometimes have setbacks like self-doubt or just sickness but I wont give up. Been watching Ed for a few years now and I love these tips. I'll get there one day and I don't even have my style or whatever it is figured out. I just try to improve every video. Thanks for the video Ed!

[@OneCelticFansView]

Step one don’t listen to so called gurus. Step 2 know your audience. Step 3 make videos that audience connect with. Step 4 don’t listen to gurus 😂😂 easy

[@archiphoto]

Hi Ed. Long time fan of your work. Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content. It's much appreciated. I'm glad your business is doing well. And what a great way to achieve success, by helping others achieve success. Thanks man. BTW I'm doing a binge session of your vids while doing a work out. You're the master of the hook!

[@CreatureXplore]

This video is incredibly helpful with 40 practical lessons on channel growth! As a small channel, I know there will be many challenges, and tips like 'treasure every view' and 'stop comparing yourself to others' are really meaningful. Thank you for sharing such detailed experiences and strategies. I hope I can apply some of these tips to grow my own channel!

[@MonkiBizz]

I just started mine. This was extremely motivating and eye opening. Thank you for taking the time in sharing these experiences and thoughts.

[@TheRussRyde]

Thank you Ed, I will be watching this a few times. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Russ

Impressive numbers! Have just subscribed to your channel hoping I can earn one from you !😉👍

[@Shinedig]

Sincerely, well done as a new creator I needed to hear this. I’ve always been a creator in different forms, but KZbin is a New World for me and you reinforce what it is I believe thank you.

[@BillHilton]

This is very valuable, Ed - thanks very much!

[@AnthonyHTerry]

Wow your the man ! A lot of subs encounting...!!! Have just subscribed to your channel ...hope I can get one from you sir!👍😉

[@gustavo.visuals]

actual useful tips as always! Well done my guy and thank you 👊🏽

[@skyboimc]

i would argue viewers do care about how smart you seem, as well as how smart you make them feel. ideally you do both, that's what credibility is!

[@AnthonyHTerry]

Ooohh! You got huge number heading to the promise land .....just subscribed.....hope I can climb up by your worthy help!😉👍

Great advice like always. I've been a long time viewer, and find your insight so amazing. Thanks for putting in all of the work, for all of us "Rookie" KZbinrs!

These tips are top tier truthful lol especially number 15 😅 and I see I am constantly improving my confidence in camera! I love all these tips thanks for sharing, love your channel, can definitely learn from here.

[@pippacarron1861]

Excellent. Thanks for all these great tips. Love your presentation style BTW, especially that sick look you get when you are about to say something sarcastic ...

[@Dengkee]

18:26 watch this video next.... Nothing there 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness, I love your videos Ed. I am a really small creator that just started out a few months ago. However, by actively listening to you and other larger creators I have recently published a 22x outlier video and gained 40+ subs. Not a ton but for a channel that only had 80 subs before this and highest viewed video of 400, this is a major turning point! I always look forward to your advice and next vids!

[@guitarfriendtim]

Amazing Ed - a huge help for me, actionable, and your videos always demonstrate the points within them. (Also: lesson #20 and #22 are duplicates - though it does bear repeating!)🐻🐻

[@KikiByte]

I saw that also... but lesson #21 addresses that mistake 😉 (don't worry about perfection)

[@Kenpachigames30]

Giving my like and subscribe! Thank you for the words, wihlsh you success, still on my 1st month of youtube 4 subscribes but I like what I am creating, no rush and things will come to the right time and effort

[@SuccessPlaygrounds]

This is so true - your friends and family won't often get why you do what you do, some will question severely. This is the hardest part - especially when you first don't see results. One thing that people don't talk about is that there are also those that watch silently, just seeing if you can actually make it. Love how real and transparent you are - no sugarcoating!

[@infamouspigeon1]

Thanks a lot for this, it helps. I've been on KZbin for a couple of years, really just playing around and I didn't really have any goals for my channel, and it shows. However, I'm feeling more committed, but not anxious about my growth and development. This is mostly a psychological practice than anything really. As I develop and grow personally, I develop a better relationship with KZbin.

[@Sleepystorystudios]

the point about the haters couldn't be more true. You can invest that time in our things such as your creativity!

[@cruiseandthemeparkguide]

I had a rough October on KZbin and really needed to hear this!

Number 3 is the most important one for small creators. I thought my worst performing videos were holding me back but I bagged a TV show off the back of my poorest performing video

Wow Ed.... this is a frick'en masterclass. I've already watched it like 4-5 times. LOL All awesome and great points, many I already know.... but put so simply, and sometimes, putting a small twist on things that made me think about them again, and what I was doing, a bit deeper. A couple points contradicted other channels, and I loved that... it's awesome to hear a new perspective on them when that happened! Love'd it. Thanks! Great job!! Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres

[@Deutsch_Campus]

🎉🎉 thank you 💕💕💕 Man!!! your lessons are really treasure for me

[@AniPets-YTV]

I tip my hat to you, my friend. Your video is the only one out there that doesn’t promise any false secrets yet truly helps. Unlike countless others aimed at beginners, where big KZbinrs offer deceptive "insights" on breaking or mastering the algorithm and make wild promises, your approach is honest and straightforward. Watching so many of these videos, it's clear they’re designed more to boost their own view counts than to actually help. But you shared the real secret-that there’s no secret. Thank you for creating this video; it was inspiring and motivating, not just for me but likely for many other aspiring KZbinrs too.

[@DermoscopyAcademy]

Thanks Ed. Super useful tips I working on! 5 years it is!

[@tklyte2]

This is the video I didn't know I needed, didn't ask for but so glad I found. Thanks creator booth dude..whatever your name is.

[@LifeSyncStudio]

So true Lesson number 4. The definition of Insane is doing the same thing over and over and expecting difrent results, but that's KZbin in a nut shell. You just never give up.

[@NailGirlInMontana]

Love your videos! And your humor! (And your accent!) I'm gonna focus on #9 for a little bit. Maybe idk what my audience really wants! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excellent video mate always valuable lessons in very cool delivery method. 👌🏾😅

Thinking in “5 year timescales” is honestly so true. I’ve had two KZbin channels before, and they only started getting traction after 2 years and NOT before. So just keep going guys!!

[@VictorPitstop]

If you have haters, you have engagement! That’s GOOD!

[@GtaGuruYT]

Here before a Million views, not lying, this video is invaluable. Awesome work Ed! The biggest lessons I've learnt are; - To make videos you want to make that you are passionate about. That enthusiasm rubs off on the audience, and like-minded people will join the channel and later support your growth. - Don't hop on the trends, trends are saturated and die out quickly and your channel will get rep as the "hot-topic" channel, which can be fun but is exhausting to keep up with, as you'll never be the 1st person to talk about it. It's better to plant seeds that grow, idea videos with substance that will grow eventually. My best videos still get views today whereas my rushed 'hot-topic' ones died off after a quick surge of views. - Be critical of yourself but don't be damagingly hard on yourself, hate is the nemesis of growth. - Connect with other creators but be mindful not to share unique ideas, especially in the same niche. You are building your channel, not theirs.

[@casualvengeance]

This has been extraordinarily informative. I hope it helps me with my niche in the future.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Always happy to learn from Ed. This was awesome. 🙌🏻

[@yusufipk]

Ed, have you noticed some static noise coming from your mic or background? I noticed it in your recent videos, and I hope you can fix it. Your editing or recording software probably has an effect to help with this. Thank you for the video.

Thank you for good solid advice. Interestingly, you are the second English (not US 🇺🇸) KZbinr in this niche that has been sent my way and both of you are far less ego and saying similar stuff to the others but what you’re actually saying/the way you’re spinning it, is far more real and practical and helpful really. So thank you 🙏 and I am clicking that sub button 😂😂😂
