I spent 10 years building a youtube channel to 50,000 subs... I decided to start a new channel with a much more narrowed down niche and after about 7 months I have almost 140,000 subs. Sometimes starting over just makes so much more sense, especially if you're doing everything you talked about in this video!

I loved this new format of your videos. It's slow-paced, without so many animations and gimmicks. Instead, you provided substantial information and offered a better way of communicating with the audience. It's better for you, as you'll save time on editing, and for the audience, we can focus more on the content without being overwhelmed by constant dopamine release.

Ed, I'm excited to watch this video. I'm rethinking my content strategy at the moment. Really it's somewhat experimental. My old approach was to try to maximize views because I thought that the more eyes I get on my content, the better that would be towards reaching my goals. But so far that's not working. I'm not getting a lot of views, and I'm not even really sure if that the products/services I have to offer really interest my target audience or not. Going forward, I'm not gonna try to focus on views. My main aim will be to create content that appeals to an audience that aligns with my business goals. Working hard to increase my views is becoming too volatile.

Good move Ed. It's a way of dealing with the flaw in YT & SM audience systems. You said to me some years ago about not wanting a lot of subscribers... My subject area critical mass is about 10k to 20k subscribers which would be manageable but more importantly about 2k views initially CPM £15 .. Which means not worth doing unless... Keep your old channel active... So that people can still learn.. and there are so many YT education channel's that make good reference to you.. I think this video should be where you put channel intro (subbed or not) and maybe a video occasionally to guide those interested in what you are doing now. Another thought is shorter video's on your old channel that reference a video on your new channel that explain how to translate the concept for another purpose. Also with your new channel I think the CPM will be higher overall.. Only problem (which exists for others as well) is when they have learnt, why would they stay.. and you end up with dead subscribers (part of the YT & SM flaw) that don't watch and stifle the video. It's like someone only talking about the same thing every time you see them. Your real income area will be 1 to 1 or group and public speaking also course's.. Companion channel's are the other way but because of the flaw they don't work as well as they could, same with Playlists.. A Playlist containing video's on... Firewood 12 volts DC Composting toilets Wind turbines Solar panels. ... does the Algorithm see it's living off-grid..? or... a load of separate subjects? or... people most likely will watch these together.. but not consistently! add a story aspect like Boat's or the Canadian wilderness (the place of cold or when it's warm things stinging or biting) ... What does the Algorithm see then? .. and who does it serve the video's to? ... and if it gets it wrong.. the video fails.. Is this the reason for the 'For You' shelf on the Home Page? Will I harm your channel not watching all your content... I think YT changed an aspect of the algorithm from a viewers consistency to number of videos watched... There is space for the less focused channel's... the Tortoise and the Hare.. There will definitely be elements of your content on your new channel that I could apply to my channel in a less formal or focused way .. fitting or reflecting a Boating Off-Grid Lifestyle.. but which... and how do you tell me which is relevant? The wonderful thing about YT for me has been the interactions with people all around the world, some have been long-term for many years. I think the key is the comments section.. too big and it becomes unmanageable. The interactivity of creator and their audience is essential on many levels. Thanks Ed for everything.. Maybe this will inspire a video 😻

This was a great video, Ed. You really hit on the problem with KZbin now. It forces creators to be so specialist that it is now almost impossible to steer anywhere different and be a generalist. I do news and current affairs from an educational perspective. At one time, I could be fairly diverse with topics and do well. But I have sensed that this isn’t the case anymore. Unless I do “mass market” videos, they tend to sink. A lot of the problem is the way it tests new videos. A lot of my viewers are interested in Russia and Ukraine. But I am not a Russian and Ukraine channel. (There are lots of them already.) the problem is that if I publish a video on something else, the Russia and Ukraine audience doesn’t respond well. YT then decides it isn’t a good video as my ‘regular audience’ doesn’t respond and so doesn’t push it. The trouble is that more specialist can’t work in my case. Well, it can, but it fundamentally defeats what I set up the channel to do - cover international relations from a more informed perspective.

You know I tried an initial experiment where I made it so existing subscribers were NOT NOTIFIED when it published...what was interesting is it had a much higher CTR than similar videos done on the channel in the past.

@@WyattChristman Thanks so much. That is fascinating. I’m not sure if I’d be brave enough to do that. 🙂 But I could see how it works. I just wish that the algorithm could be a little more discerning and recognise that when I post a video about an African country, it really should look to viewers (my subscribers or otherwise) interested in African politics. It would be good to perhaps have some way of flagging this. Tags might have once done this, but it seems that it doesn’t work like that any more.

Excellent!

I’ve often watched KZbin how to grow your channel videos and found they don’t apply to my niche at all and I can’t find any info specific to my niche, which is a niche within a genre that there is little info on. Vlogs. Just trying to find info on how to tell a story in a vlog that makes everyday life more interesting. I already live a very unusual life compared to most, but I don’t know how to tap into that and present it in a way that’s interesting and compelling but is also practical and doable given the amount of time I put into just living the life I want to show people. I don’t even think the many videos I’ve watched on Film Booth apply in most ways.

We left a channel with around 300k subs earlier this year for similar reasons. Hard decision for sure, but it had to be done. We are going all out on the new channel and are starting to gain some traction, with the exact avatar we want/need. KZbin is like 1000xs harder now than it was 5 years ago because of all the new channels, but it's also the explosion of outsourcing to lower income countries. It's not any different than when all the manufacturing jobs went to china, vietnam, etc, etc 30 years ago. Now its very hard to compete unless you have an editor, thumbnail designer, and more from low income countries. You can outsource your editing for a mere fraction of the cost of an in house editor. Its sad, but true. THIS is IMO the biggest change youtube has undergone over the last 5 years. THE EXPLOSION of cheap labor. Even bigger than AI.

"I don't know how this applies to a knitting channel" - 100% I started my channel in 2020 and watched your videos before you blew up on Filmbooth. I found in those days, all the information out there was totally focussed on getting viral hits, cramming in as many cuts as possible, and the like. So little of it was applicable to edutainment channels. Even now I feel the influence of that sort of information leeching into my content. Which is a real shame as I think it's holding me back. Always chasing views (or at least trying to - since the new meta, my avg has dropped from 35k to 10k per video) The videos created back then will stick in my mind - handbreak turns in a churchyard... They were helpful in a world were the overriding school of though was to be Mr Beast. But never any talk about the long game, the entrepreneurial way. It's funny, but I can hear a lot of terminology in your script from people like Russel Brunson (Flywheels) etc. I like that.

Dude, actually what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get the information out there on how people with a family history of cancer know if they are at an increased risk, what their options are and how they can be proactive about their risk and prevent cancer and/or catch it as early as possible. My specialty? I'm a certified and licensed genetic counselor who has been working in this space at community hospitals and medical centers for 10 years. Is it a small audience? Well, I don't know your stats in the UK, but here in the US 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men get cancer at some point in their lives. How many people do you think have a family history? And the insane thing? I haven't found anyone credible doing this individually on KZbin (just dry cookie cutter info from Medical organizations). I have found loads of people talking about options AFTER diagnosis, but no one talking about personalized high risk preventative screening and other options. It's nuts. So... here we go

The channel grew but not quickly as that audience is so small. I had a few more generalized videos gain a ton of traction which nearly doubled my subscriber base and now has flipped my viewer demographics to those who prefer less focused videos. When I try to make a tech heavy video there are not enough views to even feel like I can justify making the video. My heart is in the focused videos but results only show it's not worth chasing. Definitely in the middle of making changes right now.

I'm looking to restart my channel with the things I've learned. Thinking about privating all my shorts, live streams, and videos then coming out with higher quality stuff in a batch of 5, then focusing on a goal of a video every other week with the odd one in between. Focus more on shorts and do fewer live streams, maybe as low as 1 a week but a really good 1 a week. I'd really appreciate if anyone could just take a glance at some of my stuff and give some advice. I'm spending the next few weeks just strategizing, refining my editing skills, and studying thumbnails and my niche

Hey Ed, I m watching and enjoing you for a long time on both channels. I was never able to really differentiate between FILM and CREATER Booth. You said it but for me they could be easily together in one channel: It s allwas YOU explaining something. I m from Germany and run two channels: 20k for Backyard chicken and 12k for various environmeltal topics mainly burning wood and balcony solar. But both in german. And here comes my question: For me it seems easy and logic in the worldwide english viewerpotential to apply your thoughts and hints. But will it work in a much smaller language, too???

Ed speaks facts, this video is relevant to 100% of the entrepreneurs watching his content. Focus.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your lessons on film booth but creator booth has been a game changer. I’m curious to know if I was looking to a channel that was on personal development utilizing person style is that too broad or confusing? And how did you know you needed to start over

I thought "specialism" was a calculated mistake word to grab the audience's attention. After a little digging, I realized we speak a different language across the pond. As always, a useful video Ed.

I got loads out of film booth. And feel my videos have improved massively since getting a bit obsessed with it back in November. I’m looking to create a community for crypto investing (beginners) … hopefully creator booth will help me build a decent community 👍

I understand where you are going with this but I feel like I am missing something. I would understand giving up on a channel with 370k subs who are expecting KZbin-related content if you wish to publish videos about how to play Minecraft. But considering that you still discussing KZbin on this new channel, what would be the downside of just keeping the old channel? Thanks and all the best.

Because I want to totally reposition myself and get away from general KZbin advice. Think of it as a rebirth where my old body was no longer optimised for my goals. Ill be giving growth advice but it'll always be packaged for my smaller audience now

I began my channel by specializing in one particular topic. I had more comments, got more views, subscribers and more people bought items I offered but only making videos about one thing bored me to death. Now I make videos about what I want. I have slower growth but I’m much happier.
