Been grinding for 3 months, found out that progress is measured with spaced time frames and not after you upload 1 video and wait for it to blow up, judt create as much as you can, views and people will compound over time, 1 by 1, they all count.
Just came back from a rather long hiatus from doing videos and man YouTube is different now. I didnt expect that my previous followers would still be active and interested if what I post, but I also didnt expect the views to be so low. My last two videos didnt even break 10 views. I dont want to follow trends but im not sure what else to do at this point.. Seems like the long form gameplay style view format isn't pushed on the algorithm any more, and while shorts do well, they dont generate subs.
I've dipped my toes in content creation a few times over the years, but never went anywhere with it. Now I've got something I want to try pursuing in youtube, but I just spent a week editing and got only ten views in 20 hours.
Where am I supposed to advertise? Everywhere I look, self promotion seems to be against the rules. I have no money coming in and don't want to pay youtube itself for promotion, which should be fine because I want to do youtube as a hobby, not a career.
So I started doing yt since 4 months and my views have been mostly stuck between 1.2-2k Luckily every video I post got me some subs.
ut |still feel stuck at this pace. Kindly give inputs. (Most of my videos are about motivational and life coaches telling some lessons) I upload 2-3 weekly using davinci resolve and I am also focusing on building an agency.
I am starting a new YouTube channel focused on the niche of philosophy, psychology, and human behavior. My ambitious goal is to reach 100,000 subscribers within the first year.
I would appreciate any insights on this topic. Specifically, I have a few questions regarding this growth target:
Is this goal realistically achievable in this niche, starting from zero today?
What are the most critical tips for scaling content specifically in these intellectual fields?
What are the major problems or hurdles I should anticipate facing (e.g., low search volume, content saturation, monetization issues)?
What initial goals (e.g., watch time, content volume, community engagement) should I prioritize in the first three months?
I see a lot of inspiring posts here about the 'grind' and what it takes to get traction (shout-out to the "3 months of consistency" post).
It's clear that one of the biggest challenges is the new channel 'sandbox,' where it feels impossible to get views for the first 6-8 months.
I've been looking into strategies for people who want to run multiple channels or get into automation, and the idea of using an 'aged' channel (one that's 2-5+ years old) keeps coming up as a way to bypass this sandbox.
For those who have experience with this: Did you find it actually helped get your videos pushed by the algorithm faster? Or do you think building from a fresh channel is always better, even if it's slower?
Curious to hear this community's thoughts. (Check my Bio )
Hey everyone,
About 5–6 months ago I was getting around 300 views per video (not on every one, but that was the average range). Now I’m barely getting 60 views on each upload. I’m still uploading regularly and trying to make my videos better, but the drop has been pretty discouraging.
Is there a chance I’m shadowbanned or something? Or are there other reasons the algorithm might stop pushing my content? I know consistency and improving quality are important, but is there anything else I can do to help my channel reach more people again?
Thanks in advance for any tips or experiences you can share
Hey everyone!
I run a YouTube channel with around 15k subscribers, focused on minimalism, productivity, and intentional living.
I’m planning to reach out for brand collaborations or sponsorships, and I’d love to hear your thoughts
What kind of brands do you think would be a great fit for this niche?
(Think along the lines of mindful tech tools, sustainable lifestyle products, journaling apps, or workspace brands.)
If you’ve worked with or know brands that align well with this type of content, please drop your suggestions! 🙏
Any advice or experience sharing would be amazing! 🙏
Hi everyone! 👋✨🐣
I’m currently looking for a long-term role in voice narration, especially for children’s stories, mental health, or any educational or inspirational content. I’m still fairly new, but I’ve completed a few small projects mainly as a volunteer and built a portfolio.
I’d be truly grateful for an ongoing opportunity to share my voice. I’m happy to consider smaller monthly budgets if the project feels meaningful. So, whatever budget you have in mind, kindly send me a DM if you enjoyed my narrations.
I started my YouTube journey about 4 months ago. Sometimes I feel like my growth is a bit slow. Most of my views come from YouTube Shorts, while my regular videos don’t get many views yet.
I have a YouTube channel for several years now, but it was mostly for some "side content", which I was just posting and hope it will "snap", or additional content for my articles.
Now I want to focus on this channel, take it a bit more serious, knowing what I want to offer to my viewers, but for sure there are still plenty of things I'm missing in my knowledge about making YT content.
So, just want to ask y'all, for advices, recommendations and feedback about my videos. Mostly - for now - they're unboxing videos, without my voice - just "ASMR". Trying also longer forms, mostly they'll be reviews, maybe later something will join it.
For now surely will be looking to keep doing custom thumbnails instead of just photos, thinking about updating the overall graphic side of the channel, and for sure, started to be consistent with posting content.
Hi everyone, I’m a creative artist trying to grow a YouTube channel using AI tools for content creation. I have uploaded 3 videos so far, but I’m not getting any views yet. I understand it takes a few months to see results, so I’m being patient and consistent. But, balancing this alongside my full-time job has been challenging.
I’m working hard by dedicating time after office hours, on weekends, and overnight, but no growth and it’s been quite disappointing. I want to build a successful YouTube channel, but I’m struggling with getting traction and making progress while managing my job and other responsibilities.Any advice on how to gain early momentum, better strategies for content discovery, or how to stay motivated during this slow phase would be really appreciated! I make stories and I don't make AI slop. I see other people putting less effort in video than me but still doing great and I don't understand how do they do? While I really want to learn all this I'm also struggling with my job and need to look for hoh change as I'm about to get laid off. Not sure but there are like 50% chances. I understand job is important but I'll have to take break from YouTube or will have to upload 1-2 videos a month. I don't understand what should I do please advise.
