Would love to connect and work with you!
Perfectionism is another word for procrastination. The idea that you need to be ready to be ready is sometimes the thing that holds you back.
Yes! Love it 🙌🏻
The hardest thing is when you make some videos that do well you feel pressure to make the next ones better. It becomes stress.
Agree 💯
@@Dauriacosta and as I have upped quality of editing and graphics and voice overs my time to produce has increased. It’s now many many hours to make a video… like 8 to 10 hours production. Good thing this is a hobby and not a job. Monetized at least so getting something back to invest back into the channel.
@@JayandSarah That's great! It takes me days to edit a video. God Bless Us!
@Freshvibesonly Indeed. Making videos that you like really helps.
Just a mindset thing don't keep raising expectations on yourself because of one success that will just cause this problem and you will end up doing worse and I longer doing it for the love but to on up yourself and it will fail, have no link or expectation to previous success or failure, simply continue as you have been with care and passion instead of trying hard and you will grow faster, bas videos do food because people can sense the care and compassion, putting pressure on yourself will destroy that and people will sense it, mindset so important
People don't want fake, they want real people.
That's the feeling I'm getting these days.
True 👍
not true, seeing who are most watched youtubers many of them are fake persona, sadly.
@@videohcreator I agree with this, definitely not with the original comment. There is plenty of real people with honest expressions having 20 views per video for years. Nobody cares. Meanwhile Dr. Disrespect, MrBeast, fake pranks, IRL harassers, clickbaiters, fake YT/Tiktok tips - all million sub channels.
But I understand that we all live in our own bubble and each YT homepage recommends different content, so I don't judge you opinion.
Started my channel a week ago after procrastinating and watching “How to start your channel “ for the last year. I reached a point where I just started, and just hope with each video I make they get better. Its the only way to learn, by getting the experience
The only way to get better at making videos is by making videos. Simple.
Each time you will refine your craft and one day it will be exceptional. Even then you will still see areas that could be improved on. Lol

That’s awesome! Way to take action and just get it done 🎉
I’m so happy for you!!!! That’s awesome! 👍💚😃💚👍✨
@@janneaburgess911 Thank you!
This is literally gold. I couldn't agree more. I've spent the last 5 years building 3 YT channels and the only videos that have been caught by the algorithm and still have success today are videos where I didn't put any production effort at all, didn't care about thumbnail, just recorded and uploaded. It's just awesome 😆
That's amazing to hear, sometimes simplicity really works! 😄
Same here it’s amazing how the most honest videos with the least editing connects with the audience and gets more subs from people that will watch more of your content and those are very valuable people to have as subscribers. Never give up everyone keep making videos.
Yessir! Remember if people don’t like the video they just won’t watch it!
True!
@@nolanmolt Hi Nolan, URGENT. Since 18th July 2024, my channel views have SUDDENLY Drastically declined . Both long videos and shorts have no views. In the past I had the highest daily view 19655 and lowest daily view 1800. Since 18th July 2024, the highest daily view is less than 200 and lowest daily view is less than 15. My channel has 1851 videos and 763 Subscribers, but less than 15 views per day. Zero short feeding. Zero Subscribers. has RUclips put restrictions on my channel, on my long videos and my shorts? . What is wrong? . What should I do? . My channel never had a strike and never had a no warning . I cannot contact RUclips. I am not a part of RUclips Partners Program. Could you please help me to take down restrictions from my channel, my videos and my shorts?. Could you please help me to restore the shorts feeding?. Thank you so much ...
@@Aromators nothing is wrong, people get tired of some formats of the video, they look for next new trends and interesting videos.
@@Aromators...wow, this is scary, stressful and i hope you get the help.
I would like to start. But im scared. Not sure if i would. You are brave, you started.
Wish you the best!!!. 👍
I say as a small creator the best thing I ever did was post my first video! Yes it will probably suck but it's like starting a new job or learning a new skill. POST and learn from your mistakes! Everything takes time to get better. Most channels fail because people give up too easy! This is hard for a reason. There is no such thing as a bad video. Just keep posting and you will grow 💪 You will never make everyone happy. Just go for it and you will get better!! Good luck!! I'm heading out before I miss my flight ✈️ 🌎 Krep on Bouncing Baby!! 😎 ❤ 👍 💯
I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Thank you for the tips, I hope this tool could be a game-changer for me.
Appreciate comments like these
Famester bot comment.
As a perfectionist, I NEEDED to hear this. I get so hyperfocused on the details that it sometimes keeps me from making the content. Thank you Nolan!
You're so welcome!
Powerful Message! I call it "Redefining Failure". Your View/Subscriber Count is not your metric. You posting every day/week for a certain timeframe is the goal. If you were successful in posting, you "succeeded". The View/Subscriber count is just a metric to help show what the audience likes.
Totally agree Nolan. You don't need to overedit educational content. It's all about the information!
Great job.
Thank you so much!
This hits home so much today... after only consuming content on "How to do a RUclips video" I finally got my sh*t together and just posted my first video today. It's super short, it's super bad but it's a first step and that counts. I feel like I broke a barrier there... Thanks for summarizing the benefits and giving me confidence to keep it up!
Congratulations on taking that first step, every great journey begins with a single, brave move, so keep pushing forward!
I just finished to record a bad one 😂 but fck better than nothing for today😂
E olha onde achei seu canal 😂
@Freshvibesonly how fast do you forget about the bad videos?
Just keep posting, you’ll get there eventually. Talking to myself and small RUclipsrs out there. Keep going! 💪😎
Proud of you
This is good advice. The key is not focusing on the views but on creating. It is difficult to wrap your head around, but it's the way to go.
YES
it won't make any difference, trust me. 7 yrs. of failing, but will still upload.
sorry, this advice is completely false.

This video is really inspirational for someone with small channel.
Thank you!
I’m working on my first short film as I’m becoming a film maker and I’ve been learning that I’ll still need to make other videos along the way to connect and engage with my audience along the way so that when it’s time to release my film there will be some people invested in watching it 😁. I realize these videos along the way won’t be nearly as good as the film I’m working on 🤷🏼♀️ thankyou for validating this
You're Welcome!
I needed to hear this. I don’t have a lot of time for RUclips
I haven’t posted in a long time and every time I watch a video like this! Makes me just want to jump in back. I had to learn everything about content creation which took tons of research to get my video the style I wanted. I appreciate you bro!
Make a video that says "Hi, I'm Paul." and upload it. Literally, in 30 seconds, done! Then you will have completed the jump back in.
@@PaulAndHarris Title: What is so special about Paul?
@@thesmalltechchannel -- Oh that my name. Instead say "Hi my name is thesmalltechchannel" 😄
@@PaulAndHarris I think it brings curiosity to the viewer if the headline is Title: What is so special about Paul? Think about it 😆 click to view!
@@thesmalltechchannel --- Hahaha I love it. Looking forward to seeing your video in this format. Jump back in! 🦘
Even with 15 Bad vidéos, i Archieved to make a viral one and i know now that YT loves me 🎉
Congrats! Keep going! God Bless Us!
@@UltimateMysteriesQuest-s2h YEAH Shoud be monetized in two months i hope !
I have my share of "bad" videos. But I get good watch time. Getting past the subscriber threshold is the hard part for me, since my niche is not returnable content. But my comments and watch time show me I'm helping people and that brings me joy!
Thank goodness! As a new content creator, if I didn’t post bad videos, I’d have nothing to post. But they’re getting better.
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've been binging your videos- thank you so much for putting these out! It's reassuring to hear that so many top creators have had other channels to start with (or had a ton of videos in other niches before growing). I just put out my 8th video and it's slow-going, but I know it's part of the process and it's allowing me to hone my skills. Thank you again :)
Thank you for such kind words!
I love this! I have followed/watched you on that other place but could never make the time to edit. I am now just turning on the camera and only removing background noise .we all have value to someone we have our own community.
Yes!! So true 🙏🏻
I’m new to RUclips and really am learning everything from scratch, I stopped waiting for the right time and perfection and just decided to step out the boat and post and give from there.
I have been consistent and try not to overthink it too much.
True bad videos are really subjective and sometimes the simple to make are the ones thats getting more views. The most viewed videos on my channel are the simple ones and faceless.
Thank you 🙏 🎉🎉for the value you r putting out specially to small RUclipsrs
Thank you so much!
Great title! We all feel we drop “bad videos” so nice to know we are not alone 😂 just keep trying & be real and genuine! Don’t force it & be yourself.
This makes me feel better. My first two videos, I’m probably harder on than anyone else is. And it can be hard posting it when you know it’s not perfect….. but at least I got started and got two under my belt. #KeepPushing
Getting those first two videos done is a big step, what matters most is that you've begun!
Thanks for this video Nolan. I think I will experiment more in making bad videos, and hopefully over time improve! It's a great idea :)
Thanks for watching!
Even bad videos could appeal to people right?
Thanks for the tips, I really needed to hear this. I"m slowly but surely getting better at speaking in videos. Just gotta keep doing it!
Glad it was helpful!
Its really hard to create reaction videos with simple editing for us, but this gives us a great idea to post our "Progress and Thank you" videos for our subs in this format. We finally just hit 500 subs a few days ago. Maybe Posting this way could help us to 1000. Thank you so much for the idea and motivation Nolan! Sending Positive vibes to all small channels watching this! You got this! :)
I appreciate you making this video, especially with your history. It helps those of us with smaller channels to not overthink, and get more vids up, all the while developing our skills. Seriously, thanks, bro!
My pleasure!
I have had a channel for 11 years. Cars, real estate, and guns. My videos get very few views. Even having had a Ferrari and a Lamboorghini, and still not much growth with 150 videos.
I needed this video. I wanted to post a video of sharing my journey as a small creator and how to change my life but thought it wasn’t good enough. I was close to deleting it
This really motive me, thank you Nolan! I have lots of content filmed already but feeling overwhelmed to post them😢 To all of us small youtuber, we gat this! Lets get our 1k subs and 4k watch hrs by liking and commenting under this post😊 we all can do it!! Lets not give up on our channel. We all can still turn the table before the end of this year.
Keep posting even with zero engagement ❤❤
Wow best video I have seen for small RUclipsrs 😊
Thank you! 😊
Appreciate the video Nolan! So true. I prefer creators with authentic/raw videos vs everything is scripted.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your inspiration. I had a few bad videos already that I posted and really relate to this video. ❤
You are so welcome! Glad you resonated with it!
I’ve been struggling for two years now how to push into making videos sharing my thoughts. It feels like you made this video after talking to me for the last two years. Thank you so much for this piece.
I'm so glad this resonated with you, trust your voice and take that leap into sharing your thoughts!
I spent probably a week making my first video 20 views, make simple video with calculations hitt 2k views cause it exedently trended that day...RUclips is Messing with small youtubers minds. I tell you, and seeing subs go up/down is a mental game
Thx for sharing this, bc I'm a very very small channel just getting started & feel exactly this way. I'm figuring out which ones work & don't work. Thx for sharing!! 🌸
You're Welcome!
Two things one posting on a regular consistent basis and getting better at the craft of RUclips is a very good thing to do for the long term. My videos of a year ago make me cringe. That said my top advice for people who want to start in RUclips is to post, post, post.
2. You posting on a new channel the algorithm already knows who you are because of Google ad sense and your new channel is tied to your old channel so you’re going to get a lot more views because they already know who you are and will automatically give you more impressions leading to more views. That’s why I find this kind of stuff to be disingenuous.
This is the most inspirational video I've ever seen on RUclips.
Thank you!
The more videos you create the better you get at editing, etc. I wasn’t great when I started. However, it’s my passion. Just keep going everyone.
This is so good Nolan! I am really happy that your channel and videos was suggested to me ⭐ I have followed you for years on Think, and seen all your videos there, wondered where you went the last months😅
You are so good in what you do, and the knowledge and the way you communicate with your viewers is the just what the people need. And now you can get it out just the way you want! I praise the Lord that this happened to you, so you can really get out there with your own business in your own way🙏⭐ we ere here with you, and thanks so far for everything you have done for thousands of creaters our here 🏆🙌⭐
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!🙏⭐
Sometimes I can agreed with you, but not always. Yeah I have less videos but I try make it better 😊✨️
Thanks Nolan for making this video! I literally posted a "bad" video a few months ago. The auto focus on my camera made my face look blurry on the video. Despite this I still got a lot of views, likes and even some subscribers for the "bad" video I made
You're Welcome! It's amazing how even "bad" videos can connect with people and bring unexpected success.
Thanks for this video. I've posted a handful of videos over the past few weeks (I just started on YT) and not getting any views. BUT like you said, I am figuring things out, getting a little better each time.
Just started on RUclips and I’m loving my bad videos:)
I totally agree with the "get started and post and views and subs will come as you get better and improve doing the reps" strategy, but using your own videos as examples of this, and as examples of "bad videos" isn't really relatable or relevant at all given your "unfair advantage" as a known personality going solo ;) The only thing some of these examples show, like the one "without a thumbnail" (as in not making a "proper" thumbnail) is that if you utilize the "unfair advantage" of being a known person in the space you are making videos for thumbnails and to some extent titles doesn't really matter as much anymore for getting a certain amount of views.
Having just started properly making videos 6 months ago, a couple of them have reached 6k and 8k views, and I'm closing in on being 1/3 of the way in watch time hours and close to half way in subs for monetiziation - but there is a *clear* difference in views and hours watched between my hardware videos and the "weirder" ones where I build all my studio gear from cardboard and scraps.
The hardware videos getting traction from being relevant and have a large potential viewer pool, while the more odd videos I make clearly has a much smaller potential audience. They *all* contribute to the subs and watch time hours of course, some much more than others. But none of them are even close to getting the hours and views and +subs counts of your "bad" videos - which only goes to show that it's not the practice of making bad videos in and of it self that's important, but for growth the topics and contents and substance is key, no matter if the video is bad or not. So this focus on "bad" or not videos is really not helping anything unless it's followed up by an even bigger focus on "make interesting content".
The problem is a lot of people seem to parrot this "make bad videos" without including the "with GOOD CONTENT" part, which results in bad videos with bad or no content of value at all, which creates so much noise over time. So *good content* is what will make a small channel grow, regardless of the *production quality* of the videos, not "bad" videos in generall, and this is what often gets lost in these videos :)
Micro channel here - 2 weeks old and under 30 subs. Views, from the teens to under 40 views per video. I see some channels the same age as mine that have subs in the hundreds - No idea how. And some channels that have been around for years that have 5 subs. Hoping my little channel grows!! My first few videos, I was getting to know the software, getting to know how to relay my message, etc. I want to create short but info packed videos that are not overwhelming. Some videos are way too long with unnecessary filler, and I didn't want mine to be like that.
Just started about a month ago, working out the kinks. i have 39 subscribers currently and im looking to improve further
I’ve been here for over 2 years and I’ve only just hit my first 1K subs. I struggle to hit 50-150 views per video usually and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I don’t have any fancy equipment (or space for such) so it’s just me and my phone sat on a broken tripod, but passionate and with a love for what I do! I’ve got a new video going up in a couple hours and it’s so hard as when I’m so passionate about my messages and I finally feel proud of myself, nobody sees them! But I will keep going, I can’t quit on something I love so much ❤
Lol bro done the authentic packaging, w
Also don't let negative comments dissuade you. 12 years ago I had lots of great ideas and fun with making edits to Sopranos tv show, but I got way too much negative feedback and the only two videos people liked were just clips from the show with no edits. So I stopped with Sopranos and ultimately just gave up making anything and found some new thing to pass my free time. That was back then, but now when I look back at those videos there is a new interest in Sopranos, and the community now seem to finally appreciate that I did something different than just upload a clip and feedback is mostly positive. In retrospect, I wish I carried on with my ideas and put out more fun edits.
this . . . It's difficult to not let the negative comments get to me.
Sometimes I feel like these strangers on the internet dont deserve my work.
I have good days and bad days.
Love this Nolan, great advice, get the reps in and keep going
Thank you so much!
So true just have fun with it and upload. Learn from mistakes as you go 💯
Exactly!
Thank you for this! Makes so much sense. Repetition is the mother of skill
You're welcome!
Thank you! I’m always deleting videos 😂 and I haven’t even been posting for a month! Stop overthinking
Great advice amigo ... I'm fired up !!!
Glad to hear it! keep that fire burning and let's crush those goals!🔥
Just keep on learning. My first video are very bad compared to my latest 😂
I love this. I’m at 600 videos…. Some of them stuck. But I’m not gonna stop
To a person reading this together will succeed one day you will be great
Great content man- I was honestly surprised how helpful this was - thanks 🙏
Glad it was helpful🙏
I noticed that too not just with the video quality but also with SEO stuff , for example videos I barely even cared to put keywords performed way better than the videos I optimized with keywords
By me posting every day for August I certainly have some bad videos in the mix. It’s all about learning and growing and I know I’ll get better.
Yes!! You’ll get there!
I believe people’s fear is that if they post a bad video which doesn’t perform well than RUclips will stop recommending their channel to people.. so what’s the solution with that case..?
Hi, this is an off topic question but here goes. How do you go about creating a RUclips channel that keeps your personal identity hidden or untraceable? If you have a video about this I would love to get a link to it. Thanks, Jim
Such much value! Thanks for making this video 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
@@nolanmolt ✌️
I'm just getting started keeping it simple. I'm definitely going to be doing the documenting videos I'm glad you said that in this video 📸😊
I started a new channel and I actually have 40 subscribers I am not even showing my face just posting and learning as I go! Even getting engagements. I started it last week. If I keep going I should be monetized before October!!
Love U Nolan. I like you as a content creator since I saw U at "think media".
Thank you so much!
This is so true. I have multiple videos with over 500k views which are incredibly difficult for me to watch now.
So i have bad videos 😂 and no subscribers, and I've been doing this on and off then just delete everything out of embarrassment,but i recently realized that if i had been consistent,even if no one was watching, i would have learnt some skills, and this time around i won't delete and i won't stop, for me it's hard to figure out angles and formats, and talking is not my forte,i physically get drained from talking and if i hadn't given up before i think i would have figired out what works for me
Very useful Nolan, I’ve been following your RUclips appearance for years with one media. And I really keen to distribute your teaching material on my network. I’m currently having 10 channels.Let’s stay in close contact🎉
Thank you - great video coach !
Just start. Just do it. I promise you won't regret it. Stay Uncommon!
That's amazing. Great one.
Glad you think so!
Perfectionism def gets in the way of my consistent posting
I feel you!
Right on man
I think I have ADHD also 😅 I started this channel and it was performing good and somehow I end up switching my focus and creating different channels and focusing on them, just to do something NEW. It's a really bad habit, but at least this time I stayed within RUclips, usually I jump from thing to thing.. Help...
The best video I’ve done that hit over 8,000 views was a Video I did about Van life 😂 but it’s not really what my channel is about!
I love your videos! They are very helpful. It was your lighting that caught me eye...it's the tricolor (the Irish flag)
Oh thank you!
@@nolanmolt Thanks for the great content & belated birthday wishes. My own birthday was yesterday. Leos are the best! Haha
I post lots of bad videos on my channel and they do very well

No problem 😊
I have the same problems i overthink alot 😤
i have grow form 0 to 3200 subs in 6 month, right now and made my 100 eur in 1st monetization month, youtube is so amazing.
That's incredible!
This video just encouraged me to post one abandoned "bad video" 😂😂😂😂
Go for it! 😂🎥
The ADHD struggle is real. I’ve started so many channels only to drop them 2 weeks later. Even right now I’m in the hyper fixation phase for a new channel. I’ve done pages and pages of research, niche exploration, thumbnail designs, etc and haven’t posted a single video lol
@@ThrowbackGaming1 Work at your own pace according to your needs or wants. God Bless Us!
Yeah tet srick with something you are most passionate about, that toi are doing research tells me it's something that you are maybe not familair with and are trying to choose a niche for the wrong reasons, that you may not naturally be good at, best to go back to or stick with your biggest passion and interest
Thank you for this! I just started out last week, and yeah, I KNOW it's uphill to get views and likes and subs, so I am staying positive!
You're doing great! Staying positive and persistent is key, and your hard work will pay off! 🙌
@@nolanmolt thank you!
Thanks Nolan. Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!🙏🏻
Thanks for your video, they are always informative!
However after watching quite some videos on YT about how to gain views and subs, it still amazes me to see these channels getting so much traction.
I still feel that a large portion of the success just has to do with the YT algorithm and whether your video/channel will be promoted or not.
If I take a look at my own channel, one video does pretty well and then the next one does not seem to get any traction at all.
But as you've mentioned, I'll just keep working on it and keep creating and uploading videos, hoping that one day I'll get that little push 😀
Most important, I'm enjoying creating content, and it's always great to read the nice comments some of my viewers post on my channel👍🏼
Yes, I've been at it for over a year, and there definitely seems to be a big element of randomness \ "blessed by the algorithm" ... even when I look at other more successful channels
@@sirwilliamelliott thanks, good to know I'm not the only one 😉 Good luck with your channel!
