Don’t let anybody, especially yourself, make you feel like you don’t deserve to be in the room you’ve earned a right to be in. You have something unique to contribute - your ideas, your experience, your wisdom, and your point of view. Keep growing your channel. Best of luck 🙏
Big time on the community! When I first started I completely underestimated the power of the RUclips community. Now, the community is, by far, my favorite part of RUclips!!!
As a new creator it can be overwhelming to start but remember even if you have only one video you are still leaps ahead of most people. Keep grinding and believe in what you are doing 🤗
As is likely the case with many here, I have been researching not just how to get a channel up and running, but also maintain it. The past several videos I have watched from you were far more helpful than a majority of the hours I have watched from various others. Thank you for taking the time to post these and helping people out. Your content has been incredibly informative.
I am here watching this video because I am not doing a good job at compartmentalizing. My last video did not perform as well as expected so I'm going down a "how to be a better youtuber" wormhole instead of compartmentalizing and working on the next video. This is the slap in the face I needed! I feel like I've updated what I can, but for now... on to the next video! Thanks again for the motivation.
The way I felt when one of my video I never expected has been 1/10 ever since I published it like 8 months.The happiness and satisfaction keeps pushing me to do more.I reply to all comments and aways appreciate my subscribers and viewers
I always try my best to reply to all comments. When it comes to analytics, I still do struggle to figure out if I should change my thumbnail or title, still, I am trying to learn. The biggest and most important aspect that I have learnt from you Rob my man is this, make content that is of value to your viewers, not what you want. Thanks dude.
Just want to share you all what can actually happen when you change a thumbnail. I did a little experiment on a video that was already performing really well, and wanted to see if it could perform better. I changed the thumbnail to represent even more what was happening in the video, and almost immediately the CTR went from 5% to 8.9% and views jumped from 100-200 an hour, to 800-1,300 and took my video close to 200,000 views. It's such an overlooked trick that a lot more creators should be using!
I'm late on the comments. But another interesting phenomenon on RUclips is when a video is 10 out of 10 for the first 24, 48 hours or more and then 6 months later the video pops off. I learned not to judge any video the first time that happened to me. :) Lots of good tips in here Rob. Thank you!
I think the simplest things often have a big effect. Hearting and replying to comments may take you 30 seconds, but it has a big impact on the commenters. One thing I do is add captions to my videos. Not the automated captions, but the manual ones. This takes me about 5 minutes, but it makes my videos much better.
@vidIQ Oh Gosh, I have no idea. 11 years of video making. A few viral hits that still get comments several years later. In the hundreds of thousands for sure.
How long does it take you to get regular commenters? How was it when you first started? I feel like some of my videos do really well and some plop lolol - congrats on your growth dude!!
For a long time I had a self consciousness about showing my face on camera and telling myself it wasn't necessary. I started a second, unrelated channel and started posting phone vlogs to an audience of 0 to get more comfortable. It worked too. I felt more comfortable doing it on my main channel. I think it is important because these days it's about people being able to relate to the channel owner.
Oh thanks for the reassurance 💜 this happened to my channel lately, impressions rate grew high while click through rate went down suddenly and I got worried n started brain storming abt how to lift the impression click through rate of my videos up again. You know that made me feel like ok youtube is pushing my videos to more audience, it's doing it's job but since the click through rate went low I felt like I wasn't doing my part well, I'm the one to blame for hindering the growth of my channel so I thought I have to thrive more, started feeling a bit exhausted. You really rescued me there, thanks a ton! :-) loads of love to you.
It feels good when others leave a heartfelt comment. Also since I am a really small channel, I prefer to give a genuine reply rather than a pre created, boring, more or the same comments. Take care Rob and nice to see another video of yours
@@vidIQ A more personalized comment means more to me than just a thank you or good job. So thank you Rob for taking some of your time to respond. Appreciate it
I always thought that changing the title of a video in 24-72h could negatively affect to the video performance in the future. Thanks for the information. Congrats for 1 Mil
Thank you for this one, I’m currently doing a lot of your backlog because I am ready to take my channel do the next step. And these videos are brilliant and you portray the message perfectly. Thank you
Really appreciating these videos, it's a bit overwhelming as a new creator juggling so many new skills, I've been binge watching you folks for the last 2 days and my second video will definitely be better than my first! I can't change my equipment much at this stage but I can definitely make a better video today than I could yesterday! Thankyou!
There are many advice providers, but the clarity in which you provide your advice through research and experience, is top notch! You have avoided unnecessary clutter and provided real tangible actionable advice and I highly commend you for it! Well done and I hope by using your advice, my channel about our adventures in Japan will grow! 😍
When it comes to replying to comments, mine can range from a simple "thanks/cheers" reply to something more long winded, depending on the comment I'm replying to, although I prefer to write each of them out myself rather than use the pre-made responses that can be utilised. Case in point, with my most recent video I spoke in a bit of detail about how a collection I'm getting into is growing, but is taking time due to preferences. Admittedly, I'm a small creator that doesn't get comments on my videos all that often, compared to larger creators, so I do have time to reply to any and all comments I get.
Hello, watching here from Philippines. Thank you for making me realize that replying to comments is very important. It is a commitment & appreciation to their efforts too. Thanks. 🤗
Thanks to you and your advice I managed to gain my first 1M views on a single video - pretty freaky when many of my videos sadly have double digit views. Very strange but true. I can't thank you enough as I am now monetising, Keep the great advice coming! And thanks again!
I wish the recent video performance info would tell you AVD % instead of raw numbers, since your AVD in raw minutes will be heavily influenced by the length of a video. It's not very helpful in that regard, but % will always be relevant.
Glad you brought but Dan's gaming videos. I implemented much of the advice he gave on this channel I am commenting from and this channel has been killing it almost right out the gate. 350k views in last 28 days and channel started on Oct 24th. Definitely doing much better than my other gaming channels I have that are going on 2 years old. Thank you Dan and Rob for the great advice.
Thanks Rob. I always reply to all the comments (that's probably quite easy as I don't get that many!) but will have to try mentioning this at the start of the video as I usually do it at the end and see if that makes any difference. As an art channel I am always trying different things to help the channel grow but unfortunately haven't hit on the right thing yet so thanks once again for all the advice that you give, it is greatly appreciated and I will keep on trying to improve.
7:28 to 7:45 is exactly what my channel is going through right now. My videos having been getting a huge boost in impressions recently (up in the 500-1000 which is high for my channel) one video even getting over 10k impressions and CTR dropped and I have been very concerned about it but I am glad I got a very clear answer here. thanks VIDIQ
Whoever is reading DONT give up on your channel. Think about all the hard work that you have already put in. Every youtuber was once in your spot they just kept going. Stay consistent and you will reach your goals. consistent uploads and improvement and some determination is all you need! I am going for 350 subs by the end of December!!!
Wow, I'm really speechless but everything still balls down to making my thumbnail more catchy, and my title as well. I think I have improved compared to my previous thumbnails and video titles. Honestly, It's not easy to just blow up one night but I know with consistency, I will get there and yes I reply to some of my audience's comments and react to the rest because it's not easy to reply to all. Thank you so much for the other tips you mentioned. I will work toward achieving them.
Informative as usual. I watched all 20 minutes. The experience you have gained from doing this for years shows. Congratulations on that "big" gold plaque for 1 million views!
Hi Rob, please tell Dan to also include no-commentary gaming niche when making a new video of "How to Start A Gaming Channel in 2022" 😄. I found that it's very rare to find videos focusing on the growth of no-commentary gaming, but of course any video about gaming from you (or Dan) is always appreciated. 👍🏻
@@vidIQ Thanks a lot for replying! Yep, you do talk about that on live streams and I sometimes watch them, but it would've been nice if you make one whole video about it, perhaps as a compilation of all your advice, tips, and strategies, esp in improving AVD for no-commentary gaming videos.
So far, your channel is the only one not trying to sell me mentorship courses. 😂 Employed some of your strategies. Hoping over time my content will get pushed out more.
Thanks for the help! As soon as I added shorts to a playlist, older videos got more views. I started to understand the system more. ...Minus the algorithm. That is beyond my comprehension!! Working on it!
Briefly looked at your channel. If it were me I might try to answer questions like: fifa 23 how to griddy fifa 23 how to power shot fifa 23 how to defend fifa 23 how to take penalties fifa 23 how to make coins The idea here is to try to make good videos that will rank #1 in search for those terms (or other popular FIFA search terms). This may or may not be easier said than done. Also, consider building around one concept where there is a full video or two along with one or two shorts that are versions of the same video. Remember though it's your channel and you can do whatever you want. Good luck!
It seems shorts worked out for you, you only have 2, and also make better thumbnails and titles when I saw your videos they where all to complex for the viewer how scrolls thru videos pretty quickly to apreatiate all that complexity
Hey Rob, you got me thinking about changing the title of my videos... I have a question though: If my video is translated in other languages and II change the English title, will it be automatically updated in other languages or I need to do it manually? Keep up the good work, I love watching your content!
Your videos are definitely giving me more of an understanding for what I should do to improve, so thank you Rob! Also, I definitely reply to all the comments that I get
Been a pro subscriber for about 2 weeks now, has really helped me!!! It also gives me the overwhelming feeling I need professional help and data analysis! Any suggestions for a newby? It’s very overwhelming, not to mention a little disheartening when u feel like you’re getting somewhere then you feel like you’re not! Baby steps? Thanks for the tools!!
Brilliant video and I found responding to followers on both the videos comments and those also in the community posts has built a community that has made the most impact in 2021! Another great video!
Bro your videos have been helping me so much as a new content creator. Just listening to these tips has made my views skyrocket. The branded intro thing was something I cut out almost immediately.
This was really informative, Rob. I spend a little time the day of posting to monitor impressions per traffic source but move onto the next one within a day. Sometimes I revisit videos that pick up steam in search and try to tweak the packaging, but I might start spacing things out and reacting a lot more like how you describe here.
its so hard to get to 100 subs 200 subs might not be that hard as 100 subs tho but the first 100 subs is very hard i am on 202 subs rn and i will work on thumbnail when i wake up nowadays i feel so tired probably cuz of stress and alot of work stuff thats why u see i upload not that much cuz more work nowadys
I usually get a few hundred comments every video and I answer all! I definitely recommend anyone that is reading this to respond as many comments as they can because it makes ur fans love you
Thank you for this tip, I appreciate you for helping the creators, getting ready to move my stuff to my new channel, same name but branded so this helps a lot. Happy Holidays! 🙂
I read every comment I see, and I reply to almost all of them. Sadly it can be hard to come up with a response to some comments . I don't know if the ROI has been all that great though. I see videos with fewer views that get more comments then me despite not responding as much. It probably helps a little and it's fun responding to comments so I'll keep doing it.
I agree it's hard to measure ROI on community engagement because RUclips has no metric for viewer satisfaction. So let me ask you this: How do you feel after I took the time to read your comment and reply it? Is it more likely you will watch more vidIQ content? That's how your viewers feel when you reply :)
I have been working on my channel more as a hobby but still trying to make the next on better it's actually kinda fun watching it evolve thanks to your videos
To the small RUclipsr who can read this. Don't give up on what you are doing, just keeping doing your fashion. I'm sure our hard work will also pay off at the right time.
I've heard you say it before that a creators fastest way to fail is giving up. Of course, I regret not learning more before starting my channel, but I have learned so much from this channel and I have seen some gradual growth on my channel. Thank you Rob and the VidIQ community for all the help. Keep grinding, all of you, growth will happen in time. But as Rob said here and in other videos, keep that mental health in check.
Yep, I think these short form content has zapped a lot of people's attention span. Terrible. And sometimes even doing retention editing doesn't even work, so I don't bother anymore
@@RileySerola heck, with shorts, like, it doesnt even seem like people are paying attention to what theyre watching.... if one of my vids of my working lego engines pop up they dont even notice and swipe away
Thanks Rob! I'm lucky I found you guys right away when I started my channel.... I learned a lot of great habits early on, so they have become more like "business as usual" kind of things... The tips about the comments is HUUUUGEEEEE. I have 1200 comments on my channel currently, and I have hearted and responded (with real comments, and not the multiple choice ones) to every single one of them. I've had at least 20 people mention to me how much they like that I respond and that it makes them feel like I care... That's the coolest! Respond to your comments, people... It will pay big dividends!
One of my viewers made me a playlist to maximise views, your videos are a great help. Especially with the more "hidden" stuff regarding analytics etc. Awesome stuff!
My sibling and I will never give up in our fashion in creating videos to bring happiness to others. Though our youtube channel is not yet growing we have a hope that we can succeed in the future just believing in ourself and do what makes us happy without hurting other. So let us keep fighting and doing our best💪💪❤️
Cool vid, just wondering if you could update your app icon to be your newer channel icon because it looks really plain and also please round the corners of the triangle, it will look so much better.
Hi, I would like to ask a question. I heard from a RUclipsr that it’s not good to share your video on other social media’s like Instagram because it affects your engagement on the long run. Please can you confirm this ?
Let's start with 100 subs? These videos should help you get there: ruclips.net/video/LRC12FNfs2o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/v_ZpIEsDTl4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cCX8I3sFtRs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/VioOlTEiBic/видео.html
I'm really curious about the performance of this video 😁👍 I've noticed you guys have been making videos shorter over time, say 4-8 mins and I've been doing that myself as well with good results. That said, even though this one is triple the usual duration, it's exactly as long as it needed to be. No fluff because it's such a broad topic that can't be easily split in separate videos. Great job. 👍
@@tommieboi707 It really depends on what you're doing. Just make it as short as possible without losing context. Whenever you find yourself talking and if the part before and after still make sense without the middle, it needs to get cut. So if you're trying to explain a single RUclips feature it could be 3 mins. If you're explaining 7 it could be 22 mins like this video. It really depends on your content. Just cut all the fluff, no matter how profound you think it is. 😜
@@tommieboi707 PS you don't seem to have any long content anyway, so you don't have that problem 😁👍 I'd unlist those car videos from years ago if you're trying to become a gaming channel now. Imagine I'm a gamer and I watch one of your latest videos. RUclips is going to recommend one of your other videos next, so if it's a car one I might ignore it and RUclips will stop recommending your videos to me all together... I had a bunch of gardening videos before I started doing DIY projects and those did a lot better. When I unlisted the gardening vids my channel got 10x more views and subs because it just confused people.
watching your videos give me inspiration to keep on with my channel . people say its easy to make it on RUclips but its harder than they think ..ima just keep at it ..... thanks for your inspirations Rob massive love
I heart and reply to all of my comments because that is the right thing to do in my mind it is engaging with fans and getting input of what they might want I asked them all the time what what would you like me to do and I put boundaries of what we can and cannot do within guidelines

Briefly looked at your channel. If it were me I might try to answer questions like:
fifa 23 how to griddy
fifa 23 how to power shot
fifa 23 how to defend
fifa 23 how to take penalties
fifa 23 how to make coins
The idea here is to try to make good videos that will rank #1 in search for those terms (or other popular FIFA search terms). This may or may not be easier said than done. Also, consider building around one concept where there is a full video or two along with one or two shorts that are versions of the same video. Remember though it's your channel and you can do whatever you want. Good luck!
@@EddyTheLion my dad
It seems shorts worked out for you, you only have 2, and also make better thumbnails and titles when I saw your videos they where all to complex for the viewer how scrolls thru videos pretty quickly to apreatiate all that complexity
Hey Rob, you got me thinking about changing the title of my videos... I have a question though: If my video is translated in other languages and II change the English title, will it be automatically updated in other languages or I need to do it manually? Keep up the good work, I love watching your content!
Your videos are definitely giving me more of an understanding for what I should do to improve, so thank you Rob! Also, I definitely reply to all the comments that I get
And I managed to reply to yours!
@@vidIQ Aye, awesome! How’s your day going Rob?
So good! Watching it again right now. Thank you for a well planned and helpful video!
Yaayy, double watchtime :)
Rob has helped me get back into RUclips after I stopped. He can get smaller channels up to what they needed to be at. THX dan
Been a pro subscriber for about 2 weeks now, has really helped me!!! It also gives me the overwhelming feeling I need professional help and data analysis! Any suggestions for a newby? It’s very overwhelming, not to mention a little disheartening when u feel like you’re getting somewhere then you feel like you’re not! Baby steps? Thanks for the tools!!
Brilliant video and I found responding to followers on both the videos comments and those also in the community posts has built a community that has made the most impact in 2021! Another great video!
You're welcome London Visited appreciate the support :)
Very clear, understandable, and easy to follow. Excellent💯💥👍 Thank you so much! 🙏
No problem GTA SpeedMaster, thanks for watching! Make sure you 👍 the video if you haven't already 😉
As a small youtube channel you have given me very useful advice so thank you for that Rob.
Hey, you're not a small channel anymore. 10K is a great achievement!
@@vidIQ you are a legend 🙌
It's hardwork, never give up. Keep grinding ,it will eventually pay off.
Great breakdown of what to do help you with your channel videos, doesn't mean it will always work, but will definitely help you improve, thanks.
Rob! Would you recommend changing tags on old videos so that you rank for keywords associated with the video?
Thanks Rob! For featuring us who support you. Love your videos! Keep it up!
So much value in this video! Thank you..
Glad it was helpful!
Bro your videos have been helping me so much as a new content creator. Just listening to these tips has made my views skyrocket. The branded intro thing was something I cut out almost immediately.
Saying I learned a lot here would be an understatement. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to your videos!
This was really informative, Rob. I spend a little time the day of posting to monitor impressions per traffic source but move onto the next one within a day. Sometimes I revisit videos that pick up steam in search and try to tweak the packaging, but I might start spacing things out and reacting a lot more like how you describe here.
Hey
👍💕🙏
Ive just started my yt journey for less then 2 weeks and already understand how difficult getting people to view your channel is
Welcome to the RUclips journey TreetanTheeTree. Get creating, start inspiring, change the world!
its so hard to get to 100 subs 200 subs might not be that hard as 100 subs tho but the first 100 subs is very hard i am on 202 subs rn and i will work on thumbnail when i wake up nowadays i feel so tired probably cuz of stress and alot of work stuff thats why u see i upload not that much cuz more work nowadys
@@momkungshorts4724 thanks
I usually get a few hundred comments every video and I answer all! I definitely recommend anyone that is reading this to respond as many comments as they can because it makes ur fans love you
That sounds like incredible engagement for a channel of your size. Well done!
This is what I need to learn about. Keep growing your channel. Best of luck. I wish those who read this comment will succeed soon on YT.
To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your RUclips channel. Keep going it's going to get better. 💖💖💖
Thx :)
💕🙏👍
Thanks for the positive words. My channel has a decent amount of subs in our opinion but we never get any comments! Have a great day! 😊
This is exactly what I want to improve. Thank you so much.
Hi
Thank you for this tip, I appreciate you for helping the creators, getting ready to move my stuff to my new channel, same name but branded so this helps a lot. Happy Holidays! 🙂
Happy holidays!
I read every comment I see, and I reply to almost all of them. Sadly it can be hard to come up with a response to some comments . I don't know if the ROI has been all that great though. I see videos with fewer views that get more comments then me despite not responding as much. It probably helps a little and it's fun responding to comments so I'll keep doing it.
I agree it's hard to measure ROI on community engagement because RUclips has no metric for viewer satisfaction. So let me ask you this: How do you feel after I took the time to read your comment and reply it?
Is it more likely you will watch more vidIQ content?
That's how your viewers feel when you reply :)
I have been working on my channel more as a hobby but still trying to make the next on better it's actually kinda fun watching it evolve thanks to your videos
To the small RUclipsr who can read this. Don't give up on what you are doing, just keeping doing your fashion. I'm sure our hard work will also pay off at the right time.
Thank you!😩
Really needed this
🙏💕👍thank u and God blessed
@@anaeredaniella 👍💕🙏
Thank u everyone love yah all....🙏💕🌍👍
Great tips that are immediately actionable.
I've heard you say it before that a creators fastest way to fail is giving up. Of course, I regret not learning more before starting my channel, but I have learned so much from this channel and I have seen some gradual growth on my channel. Thank you Rob and the VidIQ community for all the help. Keep grinding, all of you, growth will happen in time. But as Rob said here and in other videos, keep that mental health in check.
You're welcome Soldiers of Christ appreciate the support :)
😊😊
True
Yeah never giving up again
Agreed .. mental health over everything!
Idk why someone would leave because of a 5 second intro, their attention spans must be hopelessly short
Yep, I think these short form content has zapped a lot of people's attention span. Terrible. And sometimes even doing retention editing doesn't even work, so I don't bother anymore
@@RileySerola heck, with shorts, like, it doesnt even seem like people are paying attention to what theyre watching.... if one of my vids of my working lego engines pop up they dont even notice and swipe away
Thanks Rob! I'm lucky I found you guys right away when I started my channel.... I learned a lot of great habits early on, so they have become more like "business as usual" kind of things... The tips about the comments is HUUUUGEEEEE. I have 1200 comments on my channel currently, and I have hearted and responded (with real comments, and not the multiple choice ones) to every single one of them. I've had at least 20 people mention to me how much they like that I respond and that it makes them feel like I care... That's the coolest! Respond to your comments, people... It will pay big dividends!
I remember was someone commented "I'll always support you" on one of my videos, I felt so good and was encourage to post more videos
Great tips, I had guessed a few of those but you gave more clarity and depth. 🔥💪
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, it does get harder! Thanks for tips on managing comments so it's not an overwhelming task, but something we can handle more efficiently. 😀
You're great at this education. Keep it up cos you're the source of motivation and guide for us newbies in this game. Stay blessed
I had no idea you could click into audience retention data like that. Great tip!
You've been clear and to the point.
One of my viewers made me a playlist to maximise views, your videos are a great help. Especially with the more "hidden" stuff regarding analytics etc. Awesome stuff!
Great stuff as always! Been watching a lot of your videos lately and they are very helpful! thanks
Right answer! Thanks for watching :)
My sibling and I will never give up in our fashion in creating videos to bring happiness to others. Though our youtube channel is not yet growing we have a hope that we can succeed in the future just believing in ourself and do what makes us happy without hurting other. So let us keep fighting and doing our best💪💪❤️
Cool vid, just wondering if you could update your app icon to be your newer channel icon because it looks really plain and also please round the corners of the triangle, it will look so much better.
I wish everyone hear much growth and success in the coming year! We can do this!! ☺️☺️❤️❤️
Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate you 🙏🏿subscribe
Thank you, I hope so! Much success to you too!
Congratulations!!! I love your videos! So much value every time 🙂 Thank you!!!
No problem Delish Attic, thanks for watching! Make sure you 👍 the video if you haven't already 😉
And congrats on 500 subs :)
@@vidIQ already did!! 😊 Now working towards the 1000 😘 Happy Holidays!
You did a great job Rob replaying to the comments, so thank you!
Hi, I would like to ask a question. I heard from a RUclipsr that it’s not good to share your video on other social media’s like Instagram because it affects your engagement on the long run. Please can you confirm this ?
I shook when I saw the Gold plaque
Congratulations VidIQ!!!
You really deserve this
I have learned so much from this channel and still working to get my channel monetized
Let's start with 100 subs? These videos should help you get there:
ruclips.net/video/LRC12FNfs2o/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/v_ZpIEsDTl4/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/cCX8I3sFtRs/видео.html

I'm really curious about the performance of this video 😁👍 I've noticed you guys have been making videos shorter over time, say 4-8 mins and I've been doing that myself as well with good results.
That said, even though this one is triple the usual duration, it's exactly as long as it needed to be. No fluff because it's such a broad topic that can't be easily split in separate videos. Great job. 👍
So it's best to keep videos under 10 min?
@@tommieboi707 It really depends on what you're doing. Just make it as short as possible without losing context. Whenever you find yourself talking and if the part before and after still make sense without the middle, it needs to get cut.
So if you're trying to explain a single RUclips feature it could be 3 mins. If you're explaining 7 it could be 22 mins like this video. It really depends on your content. Just cut all the fluff, no matter how profound you think it is. 😜
@@tommieboi707 PS you don't seem to have any long content anyway, so you don't have that problem 😁👍
I'd unlist those car videos from years ago if you're trying to become a gaming channel now.
Imagine I'm a gamer and I watch one of your latest videos. RUclips is going to recommend one of your other videos next, so if it's a car one I might ignore it and RUclips will stop recommending your videos to me all together...
I had a bunch of gardening videos before I started doing DIY projects and those did a lot better. When I unlisted the gardening vids my channel got 10x more views and subs because it just confused people.
Let’s go
Thanks for the advice, just started my YT journey!
Great tips as always! Really appreciate your mindful videos and rock solid content! 🤩
watching your videos give me inspiration to keep on with my channel . people say its easy to make it on RUclips but its harder than they think ..ima just keep at it ..... thanks for your inspirations Rob massive love
I heart and reply to all of my comments because that is the right thing to do in my mind it is engaging with fans and getting input of what they might want I asked them all the time what what would you like me to do and I put boundaries of what we can and cannot do within guidelines
I was actually debating whether or not I should remove my 6-second intro, you just confirmed that I should
Love what you do Rob! Your milestone emails keep me going!
You're one away from your next milestone!
Thank you for this.. It's very helpful.. I hope everyone reach their goals in YT! We got this together.. 😊🎸🎶
Rob... I think your end cards got me like 8 times to click and keep going. I have NEVER done that before. Great job. Learning LOTS!! 😍😍😍
Am a small RUclipsr and this is very helpful 👍🏻
Who else is just starting a channel trying to get it off the ground , I wish everyone nothing but success when it comes to these RUclips channels😇

20 mins of pure gold ! You guys are the reason my channel is growing! Thanks Vidiq
I wouldn't say gold. More bronze. Yes, the value of my content is currently bronze.
@@vidIQ bronze in your view .. but in terms if value to us i would say gold 😝 Thanks again ! 🙌
To the person who is reading this, don’t give up on your RUclips channel. Keep going it’s going to get better.

You're selling hopium to the hopeless. You're preying on the weakest among us.
Thanks shortcut, I needed to hear that.
I do this with all of my comments, works great. Thank you for the tips !!!
I am part of the 100% crew. Now I understand what a great video is by watching you. Thank you
