I'm 53. Been posting at least 2 videos a week for the past 4 1/2 years. About 750 videos now. About 6.5 million views. Changed my niche 5 months ago due to my changing interest. Averaging $400-$600 monthly adsense in 2024. My advice is just be consistent long term. Thanks for this video! ⚡️

I was in my 50s when I started, without any plans, just posting videos of my hobby. By now, in my 60s, KZbin is my main job, I have finally been posting regularly for over a year and growing a community. Your channel Brian has been a great help along the way! Now I watched this video from the point of view of learning from the way you do B-rolls!

I am 43 years old and having for years a KZbin channel. After having a kind of burn out, I gave it a new chance and doing things I never thought I should do: being and speaking in front of the camera. I can improve a lot of things but I'm happy that I got out of my comfort zone and just did it no matter how bad my videos are. You should do the same.

I was closer to 60 when I started my KZbin channel. I figured I could retire either with it or on it. I had a clear objective in mind for exactly what I wanted to make. I've been at it for 2 years now, monetized recently, but several more years to grow. Video making is both challenging and rewarding that it satisfies me. The audience appreciation is a pleasing bonus but it's not a requirement for me. This is my idea of taking up painting for a retirement hobby, lol.

Why people over 55 should start a KZbin channel: supplemental income, continuing education, and social connections that you can't gain from becoming a Wal-mart greeter.

Always enjoy your videos, Brian. I don't really know how to explain the path to KZbin success, other than making videos. Spend 3 days editing a labor of love that gets 100 views, then sit down with a camera in the park and talk for 30 minutes, upload it and get 8K views. It seems random, but if I had to say what the difference is, it's being comfortable on camera, knowing the subject matter, and just being authentic. And no matter what happens (100 views or 8K) make another video right away.

Hey Brian, I started our channel about 3 years ago now, I’m 57 and really enjoy it, we’re just about to hit 7000 subscribers, I’ve got a really loyal subscriber base, once people find us they seem to stick around, our channel is predominantly about travelling on motorcycles, getting some serious traction is hard, not sure if it’s the topic, the thumbnail, us? Not sure but I wish I knew, love the information you provide
@BriangjohnsonTv
@BriangjohnsonTv 2 ай бұрын
One thing to consider is that people don’t subscribe for thumbnails, or topics, or titles. They can help a channel once the average nation and watch time metrics are high, but I would focus on that. Focus on the engagement signals like subscriber gain, watch time, And screen click through and more. For me, I think the easiest way to do. This is focus on average view duration. Viewers that clearly triggers and signals the algorithm.

Great video Brian! It's jam-packed with real information you could only have if you have been on YT a long time and found success. I have noticed huge changes in this last year in channel views and what my audience needs. During the pandemic, my audience wanted comforting deep conversation videos but those types of videos are not what my audience needs now. I find a channel is like being in a relationship and trying to figure out what your partner needs. I have stopped watching 98% of all the channels I used to watch for mostly the same reason, complete stagnation and it's painful...and I see it in myself and it has to change. Have a great week! xo Sues & D

Subscribers are not pointless. Totally disagree with that statement. I understand the perception behind that but one thing to consider is that when someone subscribes it sounds a very very powerful engagement signal to the algorithm, which can help a video actually get more views. That being said at the end of the day, I don’t think it really matters too much as long as people are focused on making videos viewers really engage with. Glad you enjoyed the video my friend

I stopped by your channel and your titles looked like they were based on some of the things you’re working on and you’re focused on. I’m sure there’s an audience out there for those topics, but I would encourage you to do a little bit of keyword research so you were understanding what are the topics and how your audience is looking for those topics on KZbin. Not that your optimizing for KZbin search more that you’re creating titles they’re more likely to respond to that and continue to focus on your overtime it’s dramatically. You can make it my friend. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it if you want it bad enough.

KZbin is certainly a grind. You can make it … focus on what you can do to improve, you can do that … improve. and so can I.

Thank you so much for that feedback. What’s interesting is I pretty much always had an audience I did a bit better when I mellowed out slightly. But for me, I enjoy it to be fun and quirky from time to time it’s part of who I am. I never try to remove that completely and I think you’ll be surprised by some upcoming videos where I take payroll to the next level and make it real and live

i´m a bit sick of watching people talk on youtube, all about buy this buy that, affiliated links ect .. I´m wondering how I can start a channel promoting my music (without musicvideo), and how NOT to sounds like a sells man ... of cause I need finance like everybody else, just hope ads can make it up..

Yeah, I get it. I guess for me. I just try to focus on what I can control. I can’t control other people. I absolutely promote products and services from time to time. But honestly not that often. More of the time I make videos just like this. I’m sorry you’re sick of things. As far as you and how you can promote your music. A cover music that’s popular on KZbin half of the time and do your own thing half of the time this way you’re making it easier for people to find you.
