[@saidgrc]

My channel blew up 2 months ago to 158k subscribers, til this day im still in shock and some people even recognize me on the streets, keep on grinding your time will come!

[@amandasmercantile]

One of Graham’s videos inspired me to start my own channel in 2019. I’ve uploaded 140 videos & have 30k subs & he’s right. You can listen to all of the KZbin advice in the world but actually doing the work is the best way to learn. Thank you Graham!

[@paululephoto]

Omg i love your channel and I can totally see your progress since you started, I’m your subscriber ❤

[@MattCommand1]

Sean is really good at interviewing his guests and asking very good & insightful questions.

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

One of the best out there in my opinion

[@RealEstateIsLife]

Listening to guys like Graham make you realize that KZbin and content is really an art, and you have to be obsessed about it to be one of these guys at the top of the game.

[@CannaCrafter]

Isn't that true for the people at the top of any industry?

[@DonMaseven]

Obsession always wins. 💯

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

Here's the real. Most people aren't gonna get 73M views a month even across 2 or 3 channels. If you wanna succeed on KZbin, figure out a business model that you can wrap around your content and target that audience. Even if you genuinely enjoy making videos (which you should if you are a creator) you have to be able to make money to make content creation sustainable. If you go viral but you still struggle to pay your bills, you're doing something wrong. This is advice that I wish I knew when I first started on KZbin.

[@faddad101]

Amen

[@RusscanFLY]

I think personally if you don’t hustle, and you have under 10,000 subscribers, your chances in this current KZbin environment are severely diminished. No one wants to burn out, but with all of the competition, I think you have to hustle. I could be wrong, but my growth has been slow, but it’s been fairly steady, because I’m hustling. Yes, I’m trying to employ all of the other factors as well, better thumbnails, better titles, and better editing, which I still suck at. But hustling has helped me improve all of the above. Let’s get it!

[@SecondMileJourney]

You know what I’ve noticed as a viewer? When it comes to channels that often change their titles and thumbnails, I stop watching their videos. I don’t mean to. But I realized recently that i subconsciously pull back from clicking on certain channels videos because they’ve taught me through recent clicks that “oh, I already watched this video. They must’ve changed the thumbnail or title.” So after a few times of clicking on their videos just to find I’ve already seen it, it has programmed me to stop clicking on their videos.

[@s.h.6858]

Ditto. Also the people that seem to re-upload often.

[@cybermavenmusic]

Old school mindset. It’s NOT numbers, it’s QUALITY. I’d rather have 100 truly invested engagements over 1 million clicks. It’s not always about the money.

[@AC-Ninja]

💯.... It can't be all about the $ at least not at first. That's why I see people with 10 million views on a short that's just recycled content they stole from someone else and all these subscribers but they're long form videos and the rest of their shorts have no views they're so desperate because they thought this would be a quick way for them to get monetized and start making some money but you built no solid foundation and no ability to grow and the content you stole is so unrelated to your channel I guess people want to learn the hard way which sometimes might be the best way to learn

[@BombshellTans-yh7rt]

100% - I have no idea who that Ice Coffee Hour guy is and will never even look at his chanel due to his attitude. Great that he has created what he says, and I am sure is, a very successful KZbin income, but he is the least authentic person ever. Selfish, only chases numbers, definitely not willing to give advice other than "make 20 videos". I get he doesn't have to feel obliged to coach. But what is he actually passionate about? Didn't watch to the end as I just can't stand him.

[@Mr_Magpie_]

@@BombshellTans-yh7rtI’m literally 17 mins in so I can’t say anything about the rest of your comment. The 20 videos thing is so true though, people need to do some work for themselves first. I do it myself with this exact thing I’ve asked best way to do it and still have not done it. So it shows it just wastes peoples time because your not even taking there advice seriously, if you have already started he will at least think you are going to use the information he is about to give. He hasn’t got the time to waste 😂

[@ccastro416]

I’ve always respected Graham’s work ethic, I believe in the beginning it doesn’t matter how much you work on quality because QUANTITY BRINGS QUALITY!

[@_Michael_Head_]

For sure!

[@TheBeautifulBreakdown]

Sean is low key the 🐐. I feel like my channel is starting off right mainly because of him!

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

This is great advice from Graham. I also spend time perfecting my scripts on the ones that will likely provide the best return on reviews. With first drafts and rewrites, some scripts take 4 to 6 hours to complete just the script for a 10 to 15 minute video. And capture and edit and B roll with graphics about 4 hours. He is right, when a person is at 20 videos in, a person is committed to doing KZbin and wants to do it regularly.

[@BobbyMonsoon215]

How does this video ONLY have 6k views? This was one of the greatest convos on KZbin I’ve ever heard

[@BeingandBecomingAvi]

I’m sure you contemplated removing the clip about Grahams favorite fish but I’m so glad you kept it in. Personality in educational videos is so important for connection. It made me like him more 🐠

[@EconomicNinja]

I enjoy your story going from youth group videos to this. You are crushing it.

[@OneRentalataTime]

Great video!! Love the look behind the scenes. Thanks Graham and Sean

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Respect Grahm ive grown to like u,we r way dif. But i did get alot of value from thia

[@LatarshiaHall]

I just started my KZbin channel & so grateful to have content like this.

[@mazelabz]

W Graham rizzing me up in his videos

[@SocialMediaMoneyy]

Graham the goat

[@IMFitShameka]

He has been the ultimate workhorse, which stuck out the most for me. Very hands on and limited sourcing…CONTROL, CONSISTENCY AND QUALITY.

[@_Michael_Head_]

For sure!

[@ReikiMasterCarlie]

KZbin creation is an art!! Thank you Graham and Sean for sharing this🎉

[@GoGarbage]

A while back you spoke about Seasons of viewers who Will visit your channel during a specific period. Now I’m back to your channel now that I’m ready for the next phase. I watch gram and it’s like you guys knew when to call me back 😊 thank you I was stuck with my channel

[@regalrobertboxing]

@5:00 incorrect KZbin have recently said algorithm analyses videos separately …however if you have successful videos KZbin has more data about channel so if your next t video is in and niche you will get views I’ve done nearly 2k videos in 2 years through quantity you learn what works

[@FishKeepingAnswers]

Love your work Sean

[@larryslifeadventures]

Creators talking about how to manipulate the consumer. Love it ❤ 😂

[@MaruHieta]

🔥LOVE the idea of split testing shorts on TikTok and IG before posting on YT!

[@mike_deaton]

love the approach of testing on IG and TT before optimizing for YT

[@landostudios1]

Thank you for the great content! Really diving into KZbin creation this year and you’ve been a big help and motivation. Don’t stop

[@_Michael_Head_]

For sure! 🎉

[@HealthCores]

Nice to know that it takes the hustling to be successful, when many fake gurus are making look easy. Keep uploading and the quality will come. Thanks and good luck to all creators.❤

[@ThePsykoGamer]

So for my main channel I released a total of 275 videos and have 880 subs. I got frustrated and have pretty much stopped doing videos. I have a second channel I need to do more content for but feel once it finds it's feet it will be a much bigger channel. The issue I have with this primary channel is I catered to such a small niche of people. I have focused on the equipment but need to work on my presentation a little more. I am not a script writer or reader by any stretch of the imagination and kind of feel I am a little dry in my presentation. I've got a long way to go but hopefully one day I'll get there :).

[@AC-Ninja]

I think people might rely on shorts too much if their goal is to get long form content viewers I have a very small Channel that's super in it's life (5 months or so) and I already realized pretty quickly that the best way for ME to use shorts is to clip my long-form content and funnel viewers to my long form from the SHORTS Related Video feature, when I do that the difference compared to when I don't do that and my numbers is pretty glaring I had three shorts today I posted for a long form I had up for a couple days and the jump and subscribers just today was noticeable once I posted those shorts and my long form click-through rate has been as good as anyone I've done yet

[@BlindtoBillionaire]

Great interview, thanks guys, definitely worth a second listen!

[@DJAnube]

I love Graham Stephan

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

Thank you, this pod was informative, motivating and interesting

[@simplykptv]

I love me some Graham Stephan

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

GRAHAM is amazing ;D love his content :) Another banger video!

[@Sparky_Mark]

Watching this in secret at my 9-5 again.... =D

[@denisse37921]

Me too!

[@Mr_Magpie_]

Yes!! 🙌🏾 I do the exact same thing with the eating… coffee then work!!! Then almost die then eat 😂

[@FoundationBibleStudies]

One takeaway: be more objective about your videos. Second takeaway: put in the work for videos (research, scripting, etc.)

[@JosephBurkejr]

Man, you have helped me so much with launching my business youtube channel so much!!

[@BrendanScottEcker]

Great content. Love Graham. I’m seeing lots of success on my channel with podcasts. I like explainer videos too. Good luck to fellow creators 🔥🤙🏼

[@YogaBlissDance]

WOW he uses IMOVIE? and has a huge channel!

[@MoAndCoZane]

recording a specific hook for your clips is genius!

[@writelearnandearnwithkim]

Wow, this is a mini mastermind. I am developing a channel aimed at the author community. Finding ways to manage the channel and grow it is probably my biggest challenge, especially as book coaching and publishing is my main income stream. I am wondering if the shorts will work for me and how I can implement it.

[@EverForwardRadio]

Damn... SUPER helpful for us other video podcasters - thanks!

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Yt shorts doesnt kill channels if u do it right

[@Compleeted]

This was really valuable!

[@TurningPointPodcastWithE]

This was such a good video and loved your questions!

[@DeAnnaTroupe]

For some reason it made me giggle when Sean said "hooking continually".

[@AC-Ninja]

10:06 THIS 💯... I'm only rarely satisfied with anything I do and it's usually only like a thumbnail and that lasts for like a day then I immediately realize... I can do WAY better and ask myself why tf would anyone want to watch my content? This is trash? How can I provide the most value for people. This is my goal

[@ShalomAfrica-bychaim]

Am 2 months in youtube and I watch this channel for guidance. Just wondering whether the numbers you talk about are practical in Africa

[@Chant.Williams]

Can you make your podcast interesting by inviting a smaller channel that is just getting started (like mine) to provide a guest that has not been on several other podcasts? Would love to talk to either of you about why I decided to start a KZbin channel at 42 years old and how I am overcoming the mindset of my younger years to embrace the evolving world. Let's Talk!

[@brianbonito]

Great video! Great questions. Ton of information.

[@ttautogarages]

Think what people like not what you like. Intresting

[@brianpfeiffer]

Great Interview form my fellow Vegas creators!

[@johnclay7644]

informative content

[@Got2LoveWillow]

Very good interview!!

[@_Michael_Head_]

Love this!!

[@Reallife1-2]

Wow great

[@ReneesTravelChannel]

I love that filter 👍

[@denisse37921]

🤩I love Graham🤑 Stephan!!!!🤓

[@Munchie--Creation]

Let's go 🎉

[@africaart]

So it's not a myth? If your last video was successful, you shouldn't upload immediately or you affect it's growth 13:19

[@wittyroark]

Being a bachelor and not having kids gives u all the time in the world to be successful

[@DeAnnaTroupe]

That sounds like an interesting website to check out.

[@seoulmansupra]

Hey, the housing market crash theory guy 😂😂

[@cenapturgut]

Clickbait 😂

[@seoulmansupra]

@@cenapturgut that should be his strategy lol

[@africaart]

But he has a successful KZbin channel and probably among the 1% richest KZbinr (based on his niched).

[@OxfordCommaEducation]

@@africaart made a lot of that money pitching garbage to his followers.

[@byronbolen72]

Can an argument be made that he is also able to do less now because he already has established himself in the KZbin world. He has name recognition and facial recognition. He already established a fan base when he was hustling and now he can focus on quality.

[@MMillerPCs]

I disagree with the snowball thing... One video can do good and the next one flop...

[@sharonblair907]

You're making me laugh with all the fish talk.!

[@SNAKEDOCTOR-ve8nk]

How could you possibly think that a clip of Grant Cardone saying he is sorry he has a private jet could sell anything. every time I see that clip come on it makes me cringe and swipe as fast as possible!

[@AyupStuggy]

My last video took 4 days to edit! It would probably help if i was more efficient in videoing.

[@James-k6z5e]

Grant Cardone is so obviously a scamaddict.❤

[@SkyGlizzyRecords]

Doofus dew and the earpy derps

[@DioDiablo702]

Graham's been on the decline for a while now. Would of done better to interview someone who's actually been growing in the same sphere like Minority Mindset. Graham is just coasting at this point and hasn't changed his formula for over a year now.
