How to Get Your Small Channel Unstuck in 2024

[@LaziestCloud]

To every creator, don't give up! You never know if the next video you publish or one of your old ones gets pushed into the algorithm. My recent video blew up out of nowhere and gained me 10 times the views of my most popular video. Just keep making content and enjoy the ride. I hope you all succeed in 2024!

🔥This video is a goldmine for small channels like mine, feeling a bit stuck in 2024. Your breakdown of the stages of a KZbin channel's growth, coupled with the latest strategies, is exactly what I needed. The emphasis on getting discovered and focusing on intriguing thumbnails over detailed tags is a massive shift in strategy. I'm definitely going to start making two thumbnails per video and experiment with length and authenticity in my content. The insights on community engagement through the community tab were eye-opening too! This is the roadmap to unstuck my channel and I'm ready to roll with it! 🌟🚀

[@Justjoeinc]

Thanks!

[@Crosshair9]

I started my channel 7 months ago, and will probably get monetized in 5-10 days!!💪💪🔥 To every KZbin creator: Don't give up!💪 You got this!

Congrats!!!

[@prophoneyoutube]

I've been posting videos for almost 2 years now, and there have been times when I didn't post anything for 3 months. From what I've understood so far, I can say this: trust in your content, my friends, and maintain consistency. I believe that the rest will come naturally in the end. Who else thinks this way? Keep Fighting ! 💪

[@ASMRSlumber]

@@boykaGamin_g all i can say for you is improve your thumbnails - look at your popular videos, they have good thumbnails, do that for all your videos and that will help. Maybe try some longer videos too

[@nhaxydz]

@@boykaGamin_gyour thumbnails and titles need some work. Try to get them better and maybe you’ll get some more views

Small channels: Focus on the content, tittle, description and thumbnail. You will crack the algo for sure in 2024! Best of of Luck!!! Keep rocking ✊👊🤘

[@patriciakilgo23]

Great video, I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. Otherwise, you are going to be far behind everyone else, and eventually quit. Even though I am not beginner anymore, I know how hard it could be (and if I haven't used a lot of Famester, I would have quit my journey a long time ago as well). It made everything much more easier, especially getting over subs and views requirements to get monetized.

[@VINTERIUM..EXPLORIUM.1]

👍👍

[@jorgsyt]

Insightful tips! I've been focusing on making my thumbnails simpler so they are easily understood. Also, the shift from relying solely on subscribers to prioritizing browse and suggested traffic makes a lot of sense and thats what I'm trying to focus on. Excited to implement these strategies and see how they impact my channel's growth! 🚀

[@weme11]

I got very low impressions and very low views. I already posted 4 videos and 3 shorts and only got 67 views in total. About 200 impressions in total. Why so low?

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

For the longest time I thought subs was the way to grow, then I realised with personally around 2200 subs and generally far far less views, subs don't really matter so much, which makes sense over the years I've watched so many channels in my field and subscribed to them all yet in reality I only regularly watch a chosen few. I have one video that has gone really well over 58k views but from that only 95 folk subscribed, man if only they hit that sub button.....would it make that much difference? I really have no idea, generally no idea about much at all to be fair.

[@aimbots41]

Thank you for this! I won't give up on my first youtube channel!

[@MannyWalks]

Insane content delivery here!!! 🔥🔥 Can't wait for the testing thumbnail feature!! 🔥 Hope to find my way to success 🙏

[@ThatNateGuyOnYouTube]

Here's a question for you... my rpm tanked when I used google advertising to promote a video. I began the campaign on Jan 7th, and my rpm was $6.29, the next day it dropped to $1.45 then down to .43 cents and now it's .52 cents. What in the world? Are they taking their payment from my rpm or something? I have never seen this happen before.

[@Phanx_official]

For those small content creators like me who think they're not getting anywhere despite the efforts and hard work, keep going, never give up! keep getting better and keep moving forward! Here's my cheers to you, thanks! ❤

[@OnlySlicy]

Just started my KZbin channel and honestly this video really helped me. I wouldn’t say I’m stuck it’s just I don’t have that many videos out nor I don’t got really any subs nor views on my KZbin videos 😅 but I’m trying my best

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

I tried shorts 3 times, I didn't like the process I don't watch tiktok or shorts on here I prefer longer form content. Not sure if I'll try shorts again, one thing I'm definitely doing from now on though is making my content tighter no more faff that doesn't need to be in there, I want to keep my vids short and sharp from now on. The community tab suggestion is good I like the idea I did a few community posts a while ago and the community ignored me haha might be a hint there. Keep at it creators no surrender.

[@DrTopFive]

Thanks for the video. Your content is really helping! I have been doing YT for about 3 months now but took most of December off one big thing I have learnt that being consistent is key.

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

As always some great insight. I still haven’t been permissioned with the 3 thumbnail option yet. I really wish it would happen soon!

[@Grow_Up_Man55]

A brilliant video! I watched twice and made notes. I’m making several of these mistakes so I’ll be implementing a few systems to make sure I don’t in future. Just one question though (which I doubt will get answered but I’ll try anyway!): You recommend targeting Browse and Suggested instead of Search. How exactly do you do that and differentiate the two?

[@ScottLara]

I was just invited to join the Creator Research initiative and take part in bringing the future to life!

[@kitastrophe5911]

Yall got this don’t give up! ❤

[@MrGreen99]

This related shorts can be really powerful. An idea many creators aren't really talking about is using the related feature to do affiliae marketing. Link the short to an unlisted video showing off a product or service, niche related of course, and getting tons of clicks on your affiliate links. All you would have to worry about is making a short go viral. Im currently trying this out and I have everything in place except the viral short. But Im still working on that.

[@Kyokka]

What should I do after getting a viral Short?

[@MrGreen99]

@@Kyokka lol well you would want to have the unlisted video set up and affilate links placed before going viral. Thats the whole point.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Community tab posts are only powerful when they're SEEN. There's still a battle to get impressions for our Community posts. It's not directly within our control.

[@MonkeyMan90.5]

I’ll give you a simple answer. Start posting a lot, every day. How do you think people like DanTDM or Markiplier got famous and rich? They had the grind mindset. Just keep going everyday. When you see something popular make a video on it. Make a million videos on it. If you keep hitting something, eventually it will break; all that matters is that you wait.

Great video, and nice Upgrade on AI thumbnail. but how do you create your thumbnail looking like that, I want that to be my next upgrade for my channel.

[@tjfintrade]

Do you have a video specifically on how to ceate titles for browse and suggested traffic? Also, is this method suggested for brand new channels or is it best to start with search based titles to grow subscribers then transition to browser and suggested traffic?

[@CrypticMindset777]

Great insight. I don’t see growth like some channels but I’m sticking with it and staying positive and posting almost daily!! 🎉 thanks for the advice!

[@GeoTactics]

You touched upon it... and I had a conversation with YT a few weeks ago. What matters is the META data. What is that? It's a combination of the title, description, tags, what classification you give the video (for example depictions of violence if it is a war history video) AND the thumbnail. These I believe are being looked at both by human and AI on their end. I also believe that if anyone submits a complaint it will equally affect the channel because a person will then look at the META data manually and decide to demonetize or throttle back the content (and yes they do that through various ways like simply not letting it get out to similar viewers). So it is the META data. Tags may only play a small part, but it is important what your title says and what description you have.

[@BizantyjskiBorsuk]

I like the part of "clickbait FIESTA" that is the most thing that is makling me angry when I see that. Even very big channels are using it in a way that whatever is in that clickbait title has NOTHING to do with their video. I dream of a day when "clickbait FIESTA" will be gone and who ever will still be doing it will simply be punished. sorry for this rant but there are so many of these bad actors out there. @Rob you are our true mentor thank you for your commitment and always decent advise 🙏

[@tripincasa]

I'm very curious about how I can apply this knowledge to a music channel. I almost didn't find anything related to that. Because the title will be the name of the song, and the thumbnail is something that cannot be more than the artwork itself. I would really appreciate if you have some advice regarding how to grow a channel like this. Thank you very much.

[@Yourgymbro5]

Thanks vidIQ! I got my first comment on my shorts yesterday. Woohoo!

[@bluerabbit1236]

It's crazy that youtube doesn't allow you to upload a thumbnail for youtube shorts unless you're uploading from an android phone. They're literally forcing people to watch shorts by flooding the entire newsfeed yet they don't let you choose a thumbnail lmao.

[@NightfallWhispers-1609]

Imagine you're an avid fisherman casting your line into the river. Each video you post on KZbin is like adding another fishing rod to the water - more opportunities to attract viewers are similar to having multiple lines in the river. Just as additional rods increase your chances of catching more fish, regularly posting videos can enhance your visibility, drawing in a larger audience and increasing your chances of reeling in more views and subscribers.
