[@Woodhousebodybuilding]

Thank you for all this! I’m trying to decide whether my bodybuilding channel should be more about my journey (hero) or teaching, younger lifters things I’ve learned over the years (teacher). Would it be better to focus on one or the other or try to combine the two?

[@greyghostgamerz]

I'm curious if you've done a study on how endscreen elements impact subs/views and which option generates the better result: Most Recent vs Best For Viewer vs Choose Your Own. Great content as usual!

[@AlvinTWatkins23]

Hey Nate

[@melsholeparody]

Would you consider setting up a monthly subscription for Radical or is it something you're already considering for the future? It will help those of us on a fixed income and could include the Ai coach like you mentioned VidIQ has. It would be cool and I'd definitely subscribe. Your tips for us small creators have helped me a lot and the aforementioned was an idea/suggestion I thought of so we will have access to more of your help 😊

[@Diversetop]

6:12 Like me for example ?

[@thebrogrammer2077]

I felt like I just paid $997 for this youtube video

[@granite_4576]

Nate's gonna put half of KZbin out of business.

[@BecauseWhyNot660]

Exactly! I'm so glad I didn't pay for something I had a feeling I could find elsewhere for little to no dollars. And I'd be super p*issed if it was repeated filler content as it is in that those coach's free videos.

[@lnaestyles]

Same!

[@KevinNordstrom]

Gone are the days where you could upload anything you have a passion about and grow a large audience. It's now become a strategic game and a highly competitive job. Great video and wonderful tips to help us learn and grow as creators.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Is that true though? If you really have passion and basic editing skills.. Buut, what do you call a large audience? For a hobbiest online getting 20, 30K audience to me feel large?

[@clunkydoo]

@@GrowingBonsai how it works is simple. lots of people who have nothing to offer this world or no interest in gaming do indeed make a gaming youtube channel and post lots of garbage content everyday. so that means for us real passionated gamers, there is higher difficulty to be seen bc bunch of people who wont even be around playing video games in the next 5 years do still take a space on youtube. same for every category. if we could remove the brain rotting content tiktok stuff that would be a better place for people who provide actual good content

[@TheRealJavierNovoa]

@@GrowingBonsai way to prove that guy wrong! Great channel bro!

[@JakeOvEarth]

You can indeed make a living in 30k subs. 10% of 30k is idk 3k? Each paying $5 that's 15k lol. So the math is easy. Idk what average sub to patron ratio is but seems easy past 10k!!​@@GrowingBonsai

[@psychedelicelvis-777]

@@clunkydoo Perhaps if KZbin was run like a Footy league, with divisions related to subs and views, with promotion and relegation, with each division exclusive to content makers and viewers without intrusion from other divisions, it might create more opportunities for smaller channels to grow; Instead of the "big uns" hogging the entire platform!

[@creepybaldguy]

I think Nate is the real unsung hero that truly helps youtubers without half-ass answers without half-baked ideas, but real helpful strategies and what to focus on. He might not be as big as vidiq or channel makers, but he just gives you the information expecting nothing in return, but your time and attention and the hope that he helped you.

[@TheTruth_By_Prosper]

I think he made channel makers what it is today.

[@DesignedByMayo]

Sing it! 🎉😂

[@wytdyk]

People often make the error that they define a "big" channel by the number of subscribers. NO! It's the number of VIEWS on their video's what defines if they are big! Nate Black's channel outperforms "big" channels like ThinkMedia, VidIQ or Channel Makers in views compared to the video's of that "big" channels within the same time frame! Subscribers are a Vanity Metric!

[@OdLuisMarcano]

​@@TheTruth_By_Prosper I agree

[@avid.venture]

Agreed!

[@earthtoeden]

This was LITTERALLY the most comprehensive and information-, motivation and support-packed video I have seen. It felt like a good talk at the Christmas dinner table with your millionaire uncle on how to succeed in life. Weirdest way to describe the video but honestly how it felt 😂 Thank you for this content! I will be saving the video in a playlist and watching it again and again along my journey ☺

[@TheWellnessWhispers8]

I couldn't agree more. He is very helpful

[@ultrapidge]

This video was so good I actually took some notes like this was a class 1. Pick your craft. Choose something you want to share that is... -----Something you care about -----Something you want to get better at -----Something to make income or grow your brand 2. Decide if you want to make shorts or long-form videos. You can't do both. 3. Decide how to position yourself -----Hero - you’re going on a journey and the rest of us are watching. ------Performer - You are entertaining the audience by creating something new. Think most video essayists. ------Teacher - You are helping people get better or learn something. ------ Commentator - You are shedding light on something that already exists. This is reactions, discussions/news videos, and documentaries. 4. Rule of 10: Pick 10 videos, publish them, learn from each, adapt going forward, repeat. Make sure every video is either something you're proud of or something that will accomplish your goals 5. Pick ideas with built-in attention - SEAS Method. Spread, Excitement, Audience match, Simple. ---------Every video must fit 1 of 4 categories: Demands attention, Tried & True, Worth Results, or makes you Come alive 6. Make content your audience already wants, then package it (title, thumbnail, first 15 seconds) so they find it. -------------Use the right tools (VidIQ) -------------Be Excited ------------- Describe the thumbnail in a single idea. If you can't redo it. ------------- Test to see what works. Be relentless! 7. Deliver everything in a standout way. Pick between improving your editing (wide appeal, lack of depth) or your presence (Dedicated audience, less generic, but less growth) 8. Find how to build income. More money = more ability to serve people. Build an audience that values what you do. 9. Vision - have additional perspectives to help you see what's working, as well as to keep yourself stable during rocky times. Hope this helped someone!

[@Teresa-B]

Thanks!! You're awesome!

[@alicepirola7077]

Thanks so much 👍

[@magnificent_kimberly]

thank you!

[@Syzmss]

Thank you bro

[@iKemVlogs]

Yasssssss me! Thanks a bunch

[@Max_RPM]

DO NOT MIX shorts and long-form content to keep your channel alive. As Nate said, it requires different skills but also it is different audiences. The problem is that KZbin`s algorithm can`t yet properly handle the Shorts audience. From Shorts, you get the wrong audience, which slowly kills your channel. And if you show your video to the wrong audience, your metrics get worse. This has slowly killed a lot of channels. I hope KZbin will figure out how to fix this problem, but I don`t want to risk my channels.

[@holistyczny.opiekun.zdrowia]

That's very informative, thank you. Also, could you elaborate a bit more here? Is it not tha same with long format: if you get the wrong audience for it, doesn't is kill your channel as well? Why would the format matter here?

[@tkbrown9810]

Also is it still bad to use shorts and then use the refer feature for the long form videos?

[@shaigluskin1225]

Wow, so much content, so coherent, so actionable. And you just get the feeling that Nate is genuinely rooting for you.

[@archvaldor]

He genuinely is. He couldn't remain this enthusiastic for so long.

[@TheWellnessWhispers8]

I totally agree. he is helpful and nice

[@wildlyimaginable]

This video is why you are the Teacher. I can see exactly where I am at each step and where I need to improve. I’ve watched other Utube experts try to define what you just did so succinctly. I wasn’t left confused or unsure of how to implement this process. High 5s dude! So good!

[@lundgrenbronzestudios]

You know what’s so amazing to me if that your videos get way more views than you have subscribers. While I have 17k subs but get around 2k views before they flatline.

[@sampleonlinecontent2071]

3 reasons I love this video: 1) Self-deprecating humor 2) Stating the obvious while blowing my mind 3) The game-board-style visuals to help us see the whole journey 4) Incredibly dense actionable advice

[@Brian.Milligan]

So, are we to guess which one is the reason you don’t like the video?? Or do you just struggle with numbers?

[@djnaydee]

Great stuff my friend. Just wish you would slow the editing down a bit. The timing you had in the past was just right, it didn't overwhelm the viewer but was still interested and didn't drag. Tiktok style rapid fire editing like this fatigues me and could be counterintuitive to your goal of more retention time. Just my 2 cents

[@julieriley2442]

I agree

[@CraftsUnLeashedbyRobin]

Agreed.

[@WhitepepperFarmshomestead]

I recently took my thumbnails from around 3 percent up to 6-9 percent by doing one thing.... I stopped putting my ugly mug in the thumbnails haha! My views are literally ten fold what they were, my last 3 videos have been in the thousands or tens of thousands of views and they were in the hundreds before this change. I could be wrong.. but I feel like that's the only thing I have changed. Either way.. i'm keeping my face out of the thumbnail for a while!

[@Areeb_Irshad]

That was a mini KZbin Masterclass! Thanks a lot Nate!

[@TheShieldery]

I don't see you in specific only as a learning channel, you ceep reacting to other videos and creators through out your videos, told parts of your owen story, and much more.... I think how to mix the elements is the most important aspect - mayby in the next video? ;) I like that you got more creative on the camera angles with your hands. I also got a suggestion/critisism: Mayby try that television camera thingy, where the interviewer talks to a camera/person, but is showen from the side and not from the point of the person adressed. Move the camera like 45 degrees at the same distance to the right or left and continue to talk to the position in which it was bevore, for like 2 to 4 sentences. I myself as a crafting channel feel kind of under represented. Could you mayby adress that niech of youtube more often? Thank you anyway, I watched many "how to youtube"- channels and you are the best one, in my opinion ;) .

[@TheNewHuntersGuide]

Hey Nate, how about doing a video talking about what is needed to be FCC compliant for disclosing affiliate relationships, sponsors, and brands that send you stuff, both on camera and/or in the video description where affiliate links go. I feel like no one is doing this and as I work with larger and larger brands, I'm finding its more and more important and the risks are significant for not doing it right.

[@TheFantasyRanger]

You know it's gonna be a good one when Nate uploads a full 20 minute video. Thanks a lot, good sir!

[@windowshoppingwithem]

I agree ❤

[@therealpaulreiser]

Great stuff Nate! As usual... I feel like you are talking directly to me! Very timely for my journey. Definitely LOVED the way you broke down the 4 Ways to position the channel! Thank you for the extra effort!

[@Mountaintoptractor]

Hi Nate, are you taking on new clients for consulting? I have followed your content for years, great info!

[@AscendAR]

I do both long form and shorts on my channel and I think they can work together well! Where my shorts give a taste of my long form content and they bring views to each other! Also love your content and all the help you provide!

[@PuppetShortFilms]

I’m puppet short film i belong for now to KZbin Shorts for growth.

[@mommagoob]

About shorts...what if you use them to direct people to your channel? I make shorts out of my existing videos in hopes to attract new viewers (I'm still super tiny though). Is that not advised? I have a very niche channel,.

[@Mondasia]

I do that! And it seem to be helping me grow. I’m just worried that I’m attracting an audience that will only interact with the shorts rather than long-form videos… feels like I’ll only know once it’s too late

[@ModestReviews]

I enjoy watching you because I feel like you are truly offering advice to help us grow, not just selling something. I appreciate you taking the time to try to help everyone! I'm sure I'm gonna regret this 😂 but I would actually appreciate an honest roast of our channel. Not begging, but honestly wonder what I'm missing when I try to self diagnose what we're doing right and wrong.. if you'd be interested... feel free Sir!

[@upMETHOD]

GREAT video Nate! You give away more value for free than any other "KZbin How Too" channel I've watched. I honestly feel kinda bad about receiving so much value and not writing you a check... but I did "boop" and share! Thank you!! -Brian

[@creatornerds]

When I started this channel a year ago, I had no idea how life was going to flip upside down. I finally felt like after several failed other channels and learning a few things, that doing a channel about being a creator in several different areas, like AI, KDP and Amazon Merch, that I'd finally found my path. Then life went sideways. Mom had a stroke in Feb and was in the hospital for 12 days. March dad had a seizure, broke his neck was in the hospital for 33 days then went into skilled nursing and died in June. Mom had a second stroke in July and then hubby and I had to move in to take care of her and now I'm basically a full-time caregiver trying to find my bearings. I'm finally at the point where I can start looking again at the channel and HOPE I can get back in the saddle. So the last part I really resonated with. Life usually never goes the way we plan. Thanks Nate. Always great content and I will be watching this one again.

Ooh ,Howdy Howdy everyone.

Great advice as always, Nate! Always love opening YT to one of your uploads. 🥳

[@southstreetcookies]

Thank you for this! I always look forward to your videos each week and I love how you use the simple, written diagrams. Quick question - Do you recommend always sticking with long form or shorts? Or after one is mastered, should you start posting the other as well? I have a good grasp on shorts and that's what I've used to build my channel. I know that long form is not my strong area and want to work on it (I'm mostly hung up on what kind of content to make for longer videos). But do you think eventually both would perform well or does that confuse the algorithm/audience to offer both types of content?

[@Xillin]

I've been saying for a while now that there are 3 types of content on KZbin, and all content fits into 1 of the 3. You took 1 of those types, and broke it down into 2 different version (performer/commentator). It's brilliant man, I love that you have further defined those roles so people can more accurately pinpoint themselves on youtube. Great stuff Nate.

[@PhotiniByDesign]

Thank you Nate, this was one of the most detailed video's I have seen on KZbin that focuses on the entire picture of the KZbin growth journey. You executed it perfectly, packed with detail and really helpful visual cue's. You really are a master of your craft. Thanks once again and have a magnificent week 🙂

[@shonvibes]

I wish you'd had better Performer examples. Not that they needed to be straight up entertaiment chanels like someone doing sketch or singing. But the two you gave weren't the type of content most people make...so, in my opinion, weren't really relatable for really getting an idea of what's possible in that space. So something not so obvious as a comedian but also not so obscure as the 2 you shared would be helpful.

[@ThatNateBlack]

Solid points. Thank you @shonvibes!

Oh and your pick, publish, learn, act reminds me of Deming's plan, do, check, act, PDCA cycle we use in agile software development. Another helpful tip!

[@w4veyoutube]

Hey Nate! I have a request for a video. What about if you cover how to grow a channel in this sense: 1. Should we upload more frequently with shorter videos? Or maybe less frequent but very polished videos. 2. What is ‘missing’ with new KZbin creators’ content? Ie. is it just that it’s a new channel and if you make good content your ‘time’ will come? 3. From experience (ideally brief interviews with KZbin channels), how long did it take to see success on their channel? What was the key thing that they changed (or learned) just before their channel took off. You could just analyse their channel to do this but an interview would probably be more insightful! Appreciate your content and the value that you try to share rather than clickbait!

[@Wild-Siberia]

In. Exactly 1 month I’ll have 1 year after starting KZbin in 2022-2023 December. So far I’ve made a video with over 600,000 views and over 30,000 subs. Most of my knowledge came from This guy. So thanks bro

[@YukinoToki]

Oooooh. So today, I've learned that the content I'm building for my launch makes me a Hero/Teacher channel. One part is the journey of my business: rhe repair and maintenance of Stuffed toys. The other part is teaching all the sewing/cleaning skills I use so that others can do repairs at home too.

[@unlearnthelies]

Hey Nate, I have a question for you. I have over 200,000 subs, but I only get about 2,000 views per video when I post a new video. Do you know why I’m not getting more views? Are my videos being hidden from my audience?

[@beatbuildersstudio]

When I checked out your channel most of your recent thumbnails look the same. It seemed like your older videos found an audience and got you subs. However, people stopped watching your new videos. Having a lot of subs doesn’t directly correlate with views. They may have grown tired of your content. Plus nobody’s really knows the answer. I’m guessing from experience and what other channels talk about when the views decline. Even Nate won’t know the answer. He will be guessing just like everyone else.

[@unlearnthelies]

Thanks for the reply

[@NinjaTwinsKids]

Are we performers or heros??😂

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thx again. I find myself returning to your channel ever more. Well done. I hate how you predict that some videos blow up, and it seems impossible to figure out why! (Why some fail, easy. Boooriiing).

[@AndyTheXTech]

I’m stuck in the middle. I made most of my subscribers from shorts (70% more) but I make more revenue from my long videos (70-80%) what should I do?

[@RCTNT]

Nate, there may be a problem with your VIP wait list. I tried emailing you but couldn't guess your email address! Basically, I tried to add my email to the VIP wait list. I tried three times from different browsers (once on my phone too) and using a different email address each time. I haven't received an email from any of these attempts, though I did get a success message. Spam has been checked for both mailboxes. Just thought I'd let you know so you can test for yourself in case it isn't just me/my IP range. Thanks and all the best with your venture. I'll give you money once I can get a slot! Looking forward to it. -Craig

[@Educraft]

Have 14.5k subs, and just realised that my channel sucks. Thank you for pointing all these things

[@TheBrimFactor]

Recently I was asking myself why I would not mind watching any one of your videos regardless of how long it was, and you just explained it at 15:02 and it makes a lot of sense. I want to lean more towards presence than editing both as a creator and as an audience member, the fancy, fast paced, something-must-change-every-5-seconds style of editing is exhausting to both watch and create.

[@888_crystal]

What would you recommend if I am looking to lead with longform content, but have built up a sizeable following on Instagram through reels? would it be worthwhile to simply repurpose and reupload those onto shorts? or should I spend that time producing my longform content instead if I do not have a team that is dedicated to helping me upload yet? Thank you! I think you are one of the best advice channels about growing youtube on the platform.

[@HotRodM4]

I stopped doing shorts because I got a lot of subs who didn’t engage with my real KZbin videos. Those who did dragged my average view time down significantly. I’m sure KZbin doesn’t wanna suggest videos that have low audience retention 😢

seeing so many of these "boring channels" have so big an audience, do you have to produce "dumb" content to get a lot of views? like make content for pre schoolers basically?????? seriously even in my general niche "fishing" the dumber you act the more views you seen to get.

Nate! This was INCREDIBLE! I loooove your perspective on all of this! You're right, I haven't heard a lot of things expressed (or even mentioned!) in the way that you did. Awesome awesome awesome stuff! As someone who's gone back and forth, to and fro, up and down with ideas of what I'd enjoy making the most/what would make sense for me and my content/what people would dig and not ACTUALLY executed anything yet, this is SUPER DUPER helpful. I appreciate you TONS for making this!!! Thank you!!! :)))

Trust me, I still have to implement all of his advice (cause there's so much of it) but I have started doing just a few of his suggestions and have seen improvement.

[@PascalWithLove]

@@DayswithZay Ah! That's wonderful! That's super nice to hear :) I'm proud of you for implementing steps and doing the thing!! Look at you go :))))

Sir, my application has been denied twice for reused content and my appeal denied. Would someone audit my channel and tell me where the problem lies? I’ve gone through with a fine tooth comb
