So basically they show a Photoshop tutorial to a random bunch of people and wonder why no one is watching, that does sound like a pointless exercise if YT approaches that way. Surely show it to people who are interested in Photoshop tutorials would be more of a help. Same with my Affinity Photo tutorials and being shown to Photoshop users, a totally pointless and virtually guaranteed immediate turn off, however good the video is. I guess that is why many of my videos do get watched but it takes 6 months or so for YT to work out the audience for them ? Luckily I just enjoy creating the videos and at some point they maybe watched

Very good advice. Build it and they will come. It just takes time. I think the most important thing is to keep having fun creating and stay focused on your core. Eventually the viewers will realize you've got something.

Thank you so much for this one Page. I needed this video. It was like sitting down with my best friend convincing me that I'm good enough for my channel. I sometimes struggle with accepting that my cooking abilities are good enough. Although I love cooking and baking and have done it for years, I doubt myself. Especially when people comment negatively. But I understand that there are nasty people out there who make it their mission to leave negative comments. Thank you, thank you. I am good at this!

I love your content! Imposter syndrome helped me have the courage to make RUclips videos. I come from a software developer background where imposter syndrome is rife. Many software people have it. We typically moved from company to company every 1-3 years, chasing the latest new thing. Every new job I started, everyday I went to work absolutely convinced that I was going to be fired today. My employer would eventually figure out that I did not know what I was doing. This feeling was there EVERYDAY for the first six months of every new employer. Of course, I was a hard worker and DID know what I was doing. Turns out, that is normal in the high-tech field. Most of us suffered from it. Much of it was because we were trying to do things that had never been done before. Great, scary, fun! When I finally decided to start a RUclips channel, I just told my audience where I was (rank beginner) and why that is good for them. Running my RUclips channel is the only "business" that I can start that does not terrify me completely to the point where I cannot function. This anxiety about starting a business is actually related to pre-verbal times in my childhood. Yes, I am getting lots of therapy! Keep up with the great videos! And thank you.

Great advice thanks

The Ikea effect... love it... especially the cost saving that come along with the Ikea approach of building it yourself 😉. Great advice, thank you!

It occurred to me earlier that the standard growth path to channel monetization is for the audience to "Click, Watch, & Subscribe". Trying to gain all of the subscribers first is out of order, regardless of how they're gained, that is going to lead to undesirable outcomes.

Trolls are probable those knuckleheads who drive on the roads like knuckleheads and say I don’t need stop for red lights, I don’t need to use signals for changing lanes, I don’t need to stay in my lane and not drive in breakdown lane in traffic. That’s what I think when I see trolls comment

I had someone offer to help me get monetized a couple of days ago, I knew in my heart that My channel would never ever recover from that, I am happy to grow slowly and authentically.

Very interesting viewpoint! Thank you so much!!

I didn't even know this was possible. I don't have a channel yet but it seems to me that if you aren't getting real subscribers you probably aren't making good content and should use it as a lesson to improve your content.

Hello page thanks for the chat💕NonnaGrace 🐓

Such a Great vlog. Thanks 👍

Thank you for saying this for the people in the back ❤

Nicely said! This is the reason I didn't let friends or family know about my channel. I really didn't want any "dead" subs. Normally friends and family don't watch as faithfully as you think unless you just bug the heck out of them. haha My husband (my biggest cheerleader) always says, "Be like the tortoise!" Have a great day! ❤

I like when you said put the reps in. RUclips does feel like working out doesn’t it? Lol I keep learning new things every day some days my brain hurts extra hard. Then some days a lightbulb goes off. It’s amazing the sort of tips and tricks you eventually notice

Oh man, I really wanted to buy some bots lol

I don't know anyone who has bought subscribers! I like your lumpy plant pots! 😊

It doesn't appeal to me. It feels very unsatisfying to buy instead of earn the accomplishment. I guess that is a part of the ikea effect.

great advice - don't fall into the loop of or temptation of chasing subs, likes etc, it won't be natural growth, be yourself and grow happily long term.👏🏼👏🏼💯💯

Very well said. Even this week I have seen comments on other people's videos complaining that people should sub as well as watch, because subbing is free and there is no cost to the viewer. This unfortunately shows a lack of understanding that subscribers who aren't going to watch more of your videos are actually worse than useless and damage your channel. This can also happen if you do a major pivot. If you are lucky, people will unsubscribe. However, often they don't bother and just become dead subscribers which weigh your channel down. Thanks 😀 👍

It reminds me of the song whistle a happy tune. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

Hi Page, seems like I watched this but listening again. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

Hello Page, I really enjoy you content. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

One of my favorite expressions. It's my daily pep talk to myself. It also reminds me that I can get through the challenges and this moment shall pass.

Great advice. I found your channel in my feed after I’d couple of days ago. Such great advice here. Sorry to hear about the kitty. Every loss of a beloved pet hurts.

Interesting points on losing subs. I had a sudden surge of subs last 2 weeks from 100 to 750, and it’s probably because my last 4 videos are more specific niche of my lifestyle. I think maybe a few of my earlier subs were gained through shorts that are not interested in my latest videos. So that’s why I noticed the last week I was gaining 25-50 subs a day, at the same time losing a few, because I was monitoring the numbers. It makes sense, sometimes even myself I have lost interest in some channels and unsubscribed them. Thank you for sharing.

This video is an excellent example of how you organized content. You are inspiring me to start a channel. I am beginning to think of outlines.

Great point. Selfless goals can be the most rewarding.

Every video uploaded is a success.

Helpful, optimistic and supportive and I love the way you break these things down. Cool!

Oh my gosh! You hit the nail on the head. I so agree with all of it; however, I really identified with the talking to the camera or phone situation. When you first begin RUclips, you really don't know who you are speaking to. I still get a bit weirded out at first when I begin my videos, but I feel that will go away with practice. Thanks for the valuable insight. ❤

Awesome Page. Great Video! This is one of the questions I ask myself. Does my video provide any value to the viewer. if not, that idea goes out the window...Thanks again.

Page, I love all of your videos!

I know you had mentioned that you are waiting to get monetized. But your stories and advice is so good. You really dont need it. Your viewers would buy anything you sell us. lol your so relatable

I get alot of "stage fright" even if it's just mainly me pointing my camera phone at myself. Bur faking it over time has lessened that feeling a bit. Thank you for another great video...im enjoying your content

Another good vlog. 👏👍 Fortunately, I'm not in front of the camera on my channel, but I film nature. And I'm still at the very beginning. 😊 What I'm currently struggling with is that I sometimes get really nice reactions and they also say that they have subscribed. And then you think that they really mean their positive comments. And I already know that one of them has posted the same comment on many channels. Just because they hope that you will become a member of their channel. And those are people who have no interest in my videos at all, but are only looking for followers. So they don't watch my new videos. I think that's such a shame. Sorry, it's a bit long. 😁 But would like to know your opinion on how to deal with this. Maybe you can make a video about this? Until now I have always returned visits and also watched 1 or more videos and left a nice comment but did not follow them. Or it must be something I really like. And of course not everyone is like that. There are of course also people who really mean it and also watch the videos. Just wanted to add that.

As always, your video's give me insight into myself and what I am doing.

Love this!

Both mindset and action go hand in hand. Action helps kickstart something that has a chance to be seen n improved. But mindset helps in providing an emotional fuel. And mindset change is needed to keep habit change sustainable. Great topic and coverage, Page!

I'd never heard that phrase until about a year ago and I never cared for it. 'Be it until you become it' has always been my go to 'growth from scratch' mantra. Between kindergarten and graduation, there are many growth goals that need to be reached. Self-doubts just tell me I haven't reached my full measure yet and exactly where I'm still lacking so I can focus on growing it.

I had a feeling this wouldn't be about actually lying and deceiving people, but yeah, I saw the phrase as deception. Great insight from you as usual.

I love this!!!!

I'm definitely faking it 😂😂😂😂

The car running off the road in your vid really demonstrates going viral too soon. Enjoying your videos 😊

RUclips, a.k.a. "University of RUclips". Learn to do anything!

Hi! I'm being very talkative today. I enjoy your videos and would like to know more about your business and books. I started following you on Facebook and when I heard about Our Moving Castle, I jumped right in. You are well spoken and knowledgeable and seem to be truthful. Thank you. Now, dumb question: Other than equipment for video and software programs for editing, is there a cost/charge from RUclips for post a video/channel? I was trying to explain it to my husband the other day, but this was something that I did not know. Thanks! Don't stop making videos!
