Seeing my videos get zero views has been tough, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel. I know that with perseverance, things will improve. To anyone else feeling the same way, remember that every journey has its ups and downs. Stay strong, keep creating, and don’t give up. We’re all in this together!

From a quick glance, you seem to be publishing random AI generated trash, so I'm not sure why you are expecting views. I've honestly never seen a KZbinr complaining about no views have anything relevant or interesting to offer. You should really re-think your whole approach.

My fiancee and I started a business 9 months ago. We breed bearded dragons. Well, im a nut about dragons and he's a nut about politics. So we started making videos where we dress our dragons up as political characters and we talk about the politics in the reptile world today, while poking light fun at current political personalities. We started last week posting our little cartoon. We surely don't have a niche, but, so far we are enjoying our journey. Thank you so much for walking us through this process, you went over way more then I intuitively figured out starting our channel last week.

Hello from BC Canada! I started YT a few years ago and was doing pretty good... - and then 4 years ago I got so unmotivated - because of world events and how relationships were strained - and it really made me shrink from the world. I didn't want to talk about it, and I guess I had to process things on my own. The strife was a fantastic vehicle to a stronger me; I got my head back on straight and at almost 61, I am going to re-start (and I have been watching videos and channels like yours to get back to it.) I have no intention of making money, just connections and bringing positive vibes with entertainment to others as we age. Looks like you're doing great; thanks for the inspiration!

[@KevinKolbe]

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for sharing.

[@RuhulAmin-ow4qy]

Hi there, I recently came across your KZbin channel and was impressed by the quality of your content However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis I noticed there is room for improvement for your KZbin channel to get more visitors and subscribers. My tips for small channels 1. Create quality content relevant to your Niche only. 2. Publish at least 2 videos a week. 3. Do KZbin SEO, such as mentioning the main keyword in Your file name, Title, and description (within the first 20 characters). 4. Add timestamps manually 5. Don't use video tags excessively. 6. Add related videos inside the video description. 7. Hook your viewers within 15 seconds. 8. Share your videos on social media platforms for additional traffic. 9. Reply every comment. 10. Use the ideal video length for your content. 11. Customize your channel URL to reflect your brand 12. Use End Screens and Cards 13. Add captions

✨ Thanks for the inspiration! ✨ A week ago I started my psychology channel, Brain & Beyond: Unlock the Power of Your Mind. I had been meaning to for years before that, but something kept stopping me. Now, remembering how happy I was with the first subscriber and the first hundred views, I realize: it's worth all the effort! I don't have a lot of subscribers yet, but I believe that they will get more every day. I come up with the topics, write the scripts and edit my videos myself. With each video I see progress - they become better and of higher quality. I remember when the first 5-minute video took 7 hours to edit, but now it takes much less time. It's always a tough start, but it's the journey and the desire to evolve that counts. 🚀 Thank you for being an inspiration to move forward! 🙏
