Things I have noticed about algorithm. 1. Algorithm will push your videos to number of viewers. 2. After that, youtube will calculate your retention, watch time, likes and engagement. 3. Once your video fulfils certain number, algorithm will find set of viewers again and same step repeat the item Number 1.

[@fabiezer]

What i’ve learned in my KZbin Journey (it’s been 8 months), what worked for my channel was to answer questions people were asking, I started doing gaming videos because since i was a child that was my dream, but, being realistic, i noticed it was almost impossible to get youtube famous with gaming because there’s just so many other gaming channels, so i started doing some research and started thinking: what do i like to do? what topic is really interesting to me? So i decided to make videos about anime (one piece in general), because i really love that anime, so i started with one single theory, and that video has over 85k views and is still going up today! What i’m trying to tell you guys is that, don’t make videos just because you want to be famous or to make a lot of money, make videos in order to give viewers some value! VALUE! Since that video that went semi viral, i’ve started creating a community involving anime and one piece and it’s really going well, my channel is monetized, and my views are going up and up, so yeah, what you want to give your viewers is VALUE!!!!!!

[@liamhays3181]

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.

Well eventually somebody wins the lottery. So what does that really tell you.

[@MashTec]

I‘m having a small retro gaming handheld related channel on KZbin. What i‘ve learned from my time creating content is that not all advices work for every niche. It‘s very much dependent and you need to try technics to see if they work out for you. Here‘s my top 3: 1. Interact with your viewers in comments. React to each one and take critic with respect. The good and the bad. 2. Be authentic. Don‘t try to be someone you are not. It won‘t work out in long term. Being yourself always gives you something unique to differ your channel to others. 3. Follow the priority rule: Thumbnail, Title, Video idea, Presentation, Video editing

[@DiychanUg]

Thank you

[@jovyzen17]

Thank you for the info, beginners here

[@NomadicKitty]

I agree the advice given is so basic on these channels but the niche is important. Having a gaming channel isn't the same audience as a cooking channel. The viewers are different ages and demographics.

[@raikohhayabusa2740]

Thanks👍

[@followthestormtv]

[@LizeFamilianoCanada]

For us, as beginners in KZbin, it's soo difficult to judge when an advice is good or not. Our channel started doing pretty well at the beginning and then it simply stoped having views, new subscribers, etc., exactly when I was following instructions from some type of "SPECIALIST".. After a really bad period, it looks like we are starting to have some positive results for a VERY small channel again... We'll keep fighting to get the first 1K subs and 4k hours!! Thank you for your content!!

[@revivemtb5961]

The best advise is do the best video you can.

[@-Hussainnn]

Your channel consistency is amazing, I think with this pace you will reach a lot more

[@bryensaeed]

I think his advise is good. As posting daily is not that possible unless you spend whole month a year for production and then use it for a year. The best maybe do not force yourself to be a KZbinr but just treat it as an hobby

[@YouTubeOfficialpage-fq9gl]

Hello Liza

[@Afghan_Liziqi]

I have the same problem in my other channel 😭

[@Tuelz...]

I use to upload everyday shorts and normal videos 3 times a week. I just got bored with it. Last year in the summer I was looking at channels that pump out long 1 hour videos and saw communities really coming together guessing and waiting for the next video. I knew I wanted to go in that direction. Working on a 2 hour movie since August (8 months) and yes the views take a hit because I'm not spamming ppl feeds but I think long term its the right play. Also I think YT is going more toward that anyway

[@ChuckleChannel-Jokes]

How can i make my channel come up like yours?

[@Tuelz...]

@@ChuckleChannel-Jokes try and pick a topic u like and once your good at making videos start following trends but using ur topic as the theme. Example... if u like baking ...elections are this year in America so bake Trump or Biden cakes. Is a example I can giev

[@nathanhassallpoetry]

Guess there's no one size fits all approach and it completely depends on your niche as to how often you should put out. The main thing is quality. I have been doing one a week quite consistently but the quality (I make them with my wife) shoots up each video. I know we'll master it, too. Researching, adapting, building and always ensuring I am giving value to my audience, whether large or small. I care that people come away from my videos with a new understanding of poetry.

Awesome video. I am small KZbinr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame -ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).

[@TheHistoryCode125]

This video boils down to one key message: don't get bogged down by generic KZbin advice and focus on finding what works for you and your unique content. While tips like daily posting and SEO optimization can be helpful for some channels, they shouldn't be treated as gospel. Instead, prioritize creating quality content that resonates with your audience and reflects your authentic passion. Experiment, find your style, and don't be afraid to break the mold. Remember, KZbin is a marathon, not a sprint, so focus on enjoying the process and connecting with your viewers. The rest will follow. What the video doesn't explicitly say is that finding your own path on KZbin requires self-awareness and a deep understanding of your target audience. It's not just about ignoring generic advice; it's about actively seeking out what works for your specific niche and content style. This might involve analyzing your analytics, experimenting with different formats, and engaging with your viewers to understand their preferences. Ultimately, success on KZbin comes from creating content that your audience loves, and that starts with knowing who you are and who you want to reach.

[@VALLANCEGAMING]

I use to livestream on Yt In 2015 and reached 1.8k subs, made many friends and many returned to each stream everyday, I was monetised but didnt earn anything. I had to take a break as I was always tired and it impacted my job performance which was a tough place to work as it is. I then returned to streaming but on PC instead of PS4 this time and my views were not as great but I was able to welcome gamers from all 3 platforms with the use of crossplay but still my channel took a hit as Yt wasn't pushing notifications to my subs as much anymore. I ultimately stopped streaming on Yt and maybe uploaded one or two clips every now and then but it was considered a dead channel to me, the era was over. But then something happened, I started uploading again in April of this year, just short clips that are either goofy or informative and I've had 250k views since April 15th til now, my overall impressions for the channel hit 1.1million and my CTR is at least 7.3%, so Yt is actively pushing my content, now I just need to be consistent with the good stuff, I noticed that videos starting with words like "How" and "This" etc seem to catch people's eye. My next thing to do is to create thumbnails.

[@kirkmangaming]

So I did a test this year… I posted a Short once a day for about 10 months so far, and I can honestly say that I understand the algorithm better. Here’s my takeaway: impressions come and go like the tides. There is a predictable periodic cycle when the tide rolls in and you get a flood of impressions. Then there are days that the tide is out and that incredible video you thought would do great only gets 6 impressions ever. I did the math even: The “blessed” days are not always the same. What I’m saying is that there are pre-programmed days that you will get more impressions and therefore more views. I sort of feel like a surfer waiting for the perfect wave 🌊 🏄

The idea others "are better", and I as a smallfry creator feeling like an imposter is not only harmful but will make creators like me lose faith, fun and reason to do what why one started to create vids. So now I try to look at it as a journey, to learn new skills, showcase to friends I make a long the way what I enjoy showing, in my case an indie game. I take from the advice what I want to try and just ignore the rest. I have no desire to grow huge, I just want to enjoy creating my own style and growing my skills.

[@eclecticx]

I'm running a gaming channel so I post pretty much every day, but that comes with a caveat. I post a playthrough video once a week more or less, and follow that up with shorts, game tips, and combat technique videos cut from that playthrough video that take me through the remainder of the week and sometimes longer. Templates are KEY, for thumbnails AND videos. Consistent trailers and intro's and outro's lend a professional look and feel. And DO NOT underestimate the importance of good sound quality. Speak loudly, clearly and get real familiar with a program like Adobe Audition.

I've always wanted to be a KZbin content creator but since my channel didn't get attention from my music I got to the point where I gave up. Now I'm back at it and having a blast and I finally feel like I have a new hobby that I'm falling in love with outside of making music and gaming!

If I do a Livestream which gets no views will it effect my decent videos ? Should I go live then delete after ?

I have one question, Suppose I want to make three KZbin channels in different niches Should I create these channels with the same email ID or I have to make different email IDs for different channels. please advise.

You can make many channels under one Gmail but you need to make your account as brand account. I have 5 KZbin channels under one email.

This is great advice!!! Thank you! My Fitness channel, I post every day in shorts... now I am trying to make longer videos showing my fitness journey... and while I can do it, it can take time, there can be minor issues such as editing being minimal...

[@DanielaNutellaAnimation]

Problem is, daily uploading will make your channel be Shadow banned just like me right now, and yes, my comments are disappearing randomly and my latest 2 shorts barely reach 1k views... Idk I am kinda mad Shadow banning exists on KZbin and spending hard hours on a video just for it to fail and get stuck at 459 views and 718 shown in feed, which I usually have 25.5k Also, my typical view charts are broken as on channel dashboard it says less than usual and in the video analytics its "about the same as usual" ???

[@DivASMR]

@vidIQ I have a question. I have two channels. My main channel I can not locate in the KZbin search bar anymore. I tried to share my channel with a potential subscriber & I couldn't found my channel. I had to text them my video through the studio app. Am I shadow banned? What is going on? Thanks for your help in advance 😊

[@amudjoletto]

You mean the channel is not appearing on KZbin search? What about if you copy the channel link and paste on Google search, is it not appearing there too? Have KZbin notified you of any community violation s ? Try again copying the channel link or the link of one of your videos and searching it on Google.

A tip of my own as a youtuber with only 4 subs, i found out a revolutionary thing that will get your youtube channel popular and its to be yourself.

It is a struggle I'm not going to lie. I have seen my channel grow, and then watch as I lose subs, gain subs, lose, etc. It seems to be stagnant. I feel I have a lot of creativity to put out there, but I'm not sure anymore where to channel it. I'm going to keep going....one day i'll get it.

[@NoraBhsas]

I think it depends on the channel itself, if let’s say it’s a channel that follows trends like dancing trends or singing trends or challenges like the older ice challenge then it’s more profitable to upload as frequently as possible per week like daily or every two days but if let’s say you have a channel that is “deeper” than that which serves a higher purpose or another personal purpose then give yourself time to work on your content and ideas and upload less frequently per month. It’s also good to point out that with channels that have higher responsibility, it will also have more obligation so if let’s say you have a health channel or a healing channel that has videos which people depend on and need to follow in order to heal themselves or gain insights about overcoming challenges or social life then it’s also best to upload more frequently but not necessarily daily because people need you in those cases, so bottom line is, it depends on the content of your channel.

[@Lord-Of-Wings]

Starting a new channel is similar to playing old school minesweeper. For some reason you have fun playing it, but really have no idea and have no clue what you’re doing. You might have some success, but have some mistakes, but still no idea as to the reason why. Once you learn, you not only learn what helps you grow, but what could also lead to negative results. Put off growing a channel for years. Finally bit the bullet and started. I appreciate all the tips you guys offer here. It’s come with joy and headaches, but I’m learning everyday, and finding other likeminded individuals. Every time I feel like I’m not doing well, one of these videos pops up and I can see the growth I’ve had in that time. Nice little boost of re-encouragement lol. Best of luck to all my fellow creators and soon to be KZbin superstars 👍🏼

[@annheatherton]

I can relate to your saying "I can see the growth I've had..." I purposely keep those early, jittery videos I made (before I knew creators used camera stands, lighting, tripods, backdrops, and shot top-down) when I started so that others can see where I began and hopefully gain the confidence to just jump in where they are now and build on that. Making videos you know peeps will see and judge makes you nervous, but those nerves calm down quite a bit with practice. And the growth does come.

[@Lord-Of-Wings]

@@annheatherton yea I’ve only been going for a few months, but I really like looking back at some of my old videos and seeing the the progress in multiple areas. Best of luck on future growth!

[@ReinMixTape]

You laid out some solid advise, success is seen different by each person and create content that you would like to watch. I'm just doing what I want and letting things go as they may. And if that entertains someone, awesome. Where I'm at in my life I just want a creative outlet, that's it. In the past I had a different channel, it was monetized and about Overwatch 1 content, which died when the adpocalypse came and it got stripped of the status. I was trying to be successful then. That adpocolypse did make me not bother to create for long while. But now I don't care, you only live once so express yourself. YT monetization brings in issues people haven't considered and in a rush to be Internet famous a lot of people aren't ready for the massive social engagement that would come with it.

Hi, what if you have a KZbin channel with a piece of everything? Irl, gaming, reaction, mind breaking shorts like having a massive number 1 next to a small 19 , and having what number is bigger or smaller on screen 🤔

[@opentuningguitar]

Posting every day definitely seems like overkill, but I think when you're new, posting frequently is pretty helpful. I'm not sure how useful it is for gaining views or subscribers, but it definitely helps in learning the process of quickly creating videos, thumbnails, descriptions, etc. as well as getting useful feedback from analytics. Thanks so much for these videos, though. I'm still new to this, and your guys' videos provide actually useful, pragmatic advice.

[@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing]

In my experience, volume of videos directly correlates to subscriber and view counts in almost (but not quite - it's a bit worse than) a linear fashion. I don't create content (and don't intend to make profit from it), I forward videos and sometimes edit raw footage from China as a hobby and been observing the data just for the fun of it. You upload more - you get more views and more subscribers, but posting 3 videos in a day is the same as posting 3 videos over a week (seems slightly better to space it out, even). I didn't notice any benefit for posting often and a lot, unless you can produce unlimited amount of content without burning out.

[@keithparker1346]

I prefer to see more interesting but less frequent videos. I think however when a channel is established that you do stick to whatever frequency you've decided particularly if it's weekly...kind of like seeing certain channels output in specific days

[@KingKage_Plug]

i think you need to make gaps between your upload .becuz i am also same as you i have uploaded 4 videos per day and i get more subs but like VidIQ say my channel starts falling like from february 15 my channel start drop like from 29K-40K views and from 89-150 Subs to 2000-2500 views and -2,0,1,9 subs per day so i want to tell you from now on make gaps between days like or upload 4 days per week

[@The_UnknownKing-BlimpBosses]

​@Dragoniel_Iskaliri_Silverwing Sometimes the Algorithm might work a bit slow though, at least for shorts. You might post 2 shorts in one day and one gets 5k views and the other gets like almost no views. But then the next day the one that has barely any bumps up to 3k out of nowhere.

They don't do that. Trust me. I just added a second channel .it was just as difficult to get any traction with the new as it was with the original in the beginning. As a new channel you need to post more frequently. Definitely get a style for your thumbnail. It also has helped me to share these videos far and wide on other platforms

I really enjoyed this video! It changed how I think about making videos on KZbin. First, I learned that posting every day isn’t the magic trick for growth-quality matters a lot more than quantity. Second, I never thought about making templates for my thumbnails or videos; that’s a smart way to save time and make things look better! Lastly, I liked the idea that it’s okay to not focus too much on SEO right away. Connecting with the audience is way more important. It’s a reminder to have fun and stay true to what you love! Thanks for the great tips!

Started this 2nd channel of mine and I'm like a newbie all over again (my other channel has almost 4k subscribers). Thanks for the great tips.

[@slikkartmotivation]

I will say this, the key to achieving anything is all about you and how you choose to do. I started my channel back in 2013 and posted one video, and gave up on youtube to focus on my Instagram instead. Short story I gained about 100k followers, and i lost a bunch, lol. However, about a year ago, I decided to post on youtube. To be honest, I gained about 4k subscribers in 8 months, and I am at 5k subscribers. The truth I posted 3 to 4 times a week, and sometimes I don't due to not having time. So everyone is telling about their story. The only story that matters is yours. In the end, what works for others may not work for you. Keep doing you, and it will pay off as long as you don't give up, like I did, because I could have had the same amount of subscribers or even more just like my Instagram page 😊🙏.

[@r.e.d.podcasting]

Yeah and that’s really the truth. You uploading 100 times a day or once every eight months doesn’t matter. These videos are likened to hats that are size S/M. You can’t possibly expect everyone to fit a hat with slash sizes the same way. Keep doing what you can. Be patient and you will grow. This KZbinr grew as did others but times were different. Now the algorithm really controls a lot and that naturally takes time! Before following this generic advice check to see how long this person has been on KZbin. You’ll find most KZbinrs who have hit the millions have been on for 8-10 years plus. It just takes time!

Are you sure it matters a lot? I've been doing it for a while and eventually stopped, because it was attracting like 1-3% additional views, not more than that. Maybe it works better on long-form videos. On shorts nobody seems to click on that. Of course, content type and audience matters. Maybe it's different for everyone. I decided that I care more about the additional line of text blocking the actual video than the couple percent of clicks it will gain.

[@hobbybike51]

No clue, I haven't uploaded anything with that change yet 🤔. It just makes logical sense to me, like suggestive selling. Also, it probably depends on your niche.

Thank you I needed to hear this right now. I've had to dive head first into youtubing because, well, the economy sucks, and I've got one new channel I built following models advised on yt, and an old channel I built almost a year ago (but took a long break from because... life) that was never specifically started to make money. The new channel is cheap, fast and easy. It's getting the views I was promised, but not the subscribers. My older channel has waaaaaay less views, but significantly more subscribers - which has made me think that I need to somehow combine what I'm learning from the new with the old and figure out a way to boost my old channel a bit so it gets more views and more subscribers (also because, after an 8 month break, it's essentially starting out new). Your words resonated so much with me. I feel like a lightbulb just switched on. My new channel is basically a junk format - the sort of thing you might click on just to check out, then move on. No lasting impression. No need to go back for more. The old one is primarily driven by informative content - a place you can go to help you move forward. My video quality isn't mind-blowing, but I've always put as much effort into the informative quality as possible. And that's why it's got the subscribers I think. There's a reason to go back, or to follow up on a series of informative vids. There isn't that same lure when it comes to junk content. I'll be watching one or two more of your videos tonight I think. Thanks for clearing that up!
