So exciting! What do you all think? Have you noticed smaller KZbin channels showing up in your feed? I definitely have! Big win for the small folk. woohoo!!! xoxo

I have noticed small channels more lately and this past few days, it's a refreshing change to see new channels

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Yes, awesome for us! And I agree it's nice to see some change on the feed. 🌻

[@wildlyartisticliving515]

I was not a subscriber, and you showed up on my feed today! Now I am.

How cool! It's working, they are promoting us newbies. Yea! Best of luck to you with your channel and thank you for the sub. I truly appreciate it. xoxo

Your video was literally third on my home page, YT definitely is doing it well! Keep going.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Third?! Wow that's quite awesome! Thank you for saying. Now is the time to grow, grow, grow!! woop woop :)

[@Samuelzaynchy]

It's really wholesome to see small creators like you on my feed. I just hope my channel grows. Tbh Watch hour requirements kills me...

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

I know, it's quite high, but I guess they want to ensure that people are willing to take this seriously before they take us seriously, and thus invest in us. I'm pretty confident that if you show up consistently, there is a demand for your topic/niche and you provide value, you will get there. Your content seems highly desired actually - I just took a peak. I want to learn how to edit on my phone, but I've been designing for years on the computer, so jumping to a tiny screen and using just my thumbs seems unappealing. If I were to say my hurdle, I would feel like there wouldn't be enough control or options for me to create a video on my phone. I bet if you do a video addressing some of these issues, it could be helpful for the ones hesitant to jumping on phone editing. You could do a pros and cons episode...that would be interesting. Anyway, just trying to give some ideas...best of luck to you and thank you for watching my video! :)

[@Samuelzaynchy]

@@AlexaSaarenoja thank you so much for this💯🙏

[@stewartholland4036]

Yep so true! You just arrived in my feed! So I’m subscribed! My son has a channel of 4k subscribers which is still considered small and he’s been livestreaming on KZbin for a year. His last livestream has exploded (by comparison)!

[@ZGamerHQ]

Congratulations to your son.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

That's awesome for your son! He has put in the work and it is paying off, great for him. BTW I read an article recently that stated most youtuber that make it a full time job on average only have around 4k subscribers, so might be considered "small" by larger youtubers but you know what it's the sweet spot for making a career on youtube. Congrats to him! Lives are something I am researching next because numerous people have commented that I should try them, just seems a bit stressful at the moment for me. Maybe soon... Thank you for sharing your thoughts and awesome work for your son - that's super exciting! :)

[@stewartholland4036]

Thanks! He’s a musician and his niche is singer songwriter guitarists (acoustic fingerstyle). He livestreams on Saturdays - check him out @fabianhollandguitar

[@Aliceinvintageland]

I am small channel too and they did push you to me :) Very nice and thank you for sharing

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Fantastic! So I am sure you are being pushed out to other people as well! Yea!

[@Dawnsbookreviews]

You are encouraging me to keep going! Just started recently! My niche is book reviews and I am still trying to figure out how to "ride the trends" while still being myself!! ❤❤❤

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Yes, keep going! Maybe you ride the trend only once a week or once a month and then the rest of the month you post boo reviews that are more you? Not sure. Or ride the trend in categories of books that interest you. I think amazon is a great place to do reserach on that...search by category and what's most popular, but you probably already have some sort of system worked out. Just want to help in any way I can! Best of luck keep showing up, that's the biggest "secret" to success I think! xoxo

[@Dawnsbookreviews]

Appreciate your thoughts!! Yes, I will keep showing up!!❤❤❤

[@watchalongleeds]

The proof is there, it's interest based and you're still under 500. Keep going 💪

Yes, exactly! Good stuff...let's take advantage of the opportunity and grow, grow, grow! 🌻

[@watchalongleeds]

@@AlexaSaarenoja KZbin often gets a bad press but I feel it's reasonably fair. I think the important thing to remember is to try and better our productions and think of yourself as the viewer, not the producer of the content we make! Your video today left me highly satisfied by the way so I know you'll find more success on the platform.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

@@watchalongleeds Thank you for that. Your comment gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I appreciate it. I agree, I think youtube is a fair platform as well.

[@ZGamerHQ]

Thanks for sharing this information. Not sure this push is universally true for all small channels. I can't say I've seen any increased traction. If anything, video impressions have plummeted. Hope to see more from you!

[@bukococonut]

I'm not seeing the promotion of small KZbin channels. I look for new channels. In fact, I am see more established news channels.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

OK good to know. How are you defining more established new channels, like a few thousand? You're seeing my content and I only have around 500 and I had even less when I published that video. I see people popping up in my channel feed with like 5 subs or 105 subs all the time. I wonder what determines it? I tend to click on super new channels to see how they are doing, so maybe that is why I am being shown them more. But very interesting - thank you for sharing! Nice to hear your experience and compare. Thanks again!

[@GiselleLoayza]

This is so great!

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Thank you! ❤️

[@naufal_88]

Heyy i just watch this video and it was great and cool! ❤❤ Also im focusing on racing game videos and i start the channel in 3 years ago, and when i post i got like 3,8K, 595, 3K views. But... many days later my views is dropping completely which is kinda weird tho.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Yes, I have also learned that they usually give a boost to small channels in the beginning to encourage and then it might taper off. I haven't experienced that yet, but I did get my first focused video hitting over 1800 views and nothing has gotten nearly close to that since, but they are much higher than they were before I started focusing on a niche hardcore. I'm not sure if you teach anything in your videos, but if you could provide tips or strategies for the games that might draw more people to watch your videos. My husband plays Call of Duty a lot and he is always doing research on youtube videos for tips and tricks. Best of luck to you that your views pick up again soon.

[@CaleAi928]

Yeah you showed up for me. I'm so close to my first 1,000

well youtube do this in every some months or when they notice the number of youtubers increase and making content regularly then they push more. also damn your video is working too well then your other videos

[@DrDianeThompson]

I'm curious, was there a reason you chose this course vs say Ali Abdaal Part-time KZbinr course? Thanks

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Great question...I guess I was just watching a lot of his content and found his free workshops and challenges so packed full of info. It was just one of those moments, when the student was ready the teacher appeared. I have watched Ali's stuff in the past, but he just wasn't on my radar at that moment. If he had been I may have just as easily chosen his course. Who knows?! Hope this helps!

[@Muddi_weiss_Rat]

Nice work ❤ thank you 🙋‍♀️

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@davidsuniverse108]

Thank you. I have a small channel and don’t really care about building it too much. I do it just for fun and a creative release but it would be nice to get to 1000 subs.

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

I think that's a great place to be, just doing it for fun, because they you will always be true to yourself and not feel any pressure to create content you are not interested in. Have fun with it and I am sure it will grow organically as a result. :)

[@Folktalesbyella]

I am a small and new creator with good contents but I don’t have new subscribers, views or engagement at all and it’s draining and discouraging me 😢

[@AlexaSaarenoja]

Yes, that can be so discouraging. Who is your niche? Do you have an ideal client in mind. Who would want to watch or be attracted to your folktales? Are they geared towards giving life advice to adults or children? I think your content needs to obviously provide value to others. What makes people come to you? For example maybe rewrite your titles to attract people that want to learn about something your folktales teach. So instead of saying "The Bond Turned Assunder" change it to something like "struggling to connect with your daughter" or "is your connection with your child waning?" I don't know if that relates to the story because I haven't watched it but judging from the photo. If you title the folktale for the story rather than for the audience I think it won't get as much attention because you want the audience to read it and feel involved. This is just my ideas, you of course do what you feel is best, but you could test it on your next upload and now since there is two thumbnail testing you could test one with your story title and another with a title that is attempting to solve a problem for your audience. xoxo I hope it grows and you stick with it, the stories look beautiful, full of wisdom and bold. I like it! Big hugs from Finland. :)
