Hi Nate, happy holidays, I have a few questions for you. My channel is for kids, do you have experience coaching this kind of content? How much do you charge it for? Any recommend for the coaches?
@computertibo It still doesn't work, unfortunately. What I'm doing is trying to update the original that I got from him based on what he shows in the video.
Taken me 2 years of full time Youtubing to go from 53 subs to just over 22K subs! The number one take I carry away from this video is FOCUS! I'm going for the 100K subs in 2025 and with focus I WILL achieve that. Thanks Nate and a very Merry Christmas to you and all the epic best for 2025!
Ive been posting videos almost every day this month and have noticed which ones catch on to the viewer so im going to lean into those and hope for some authentic growth in 2025!
honestly, i've really been feeling this recently. i spent the last year focusing my channel on the overlap of what lights me up, and what "works", and it still feels kinda unsustainable, time to just simplify even more and make things that 1- feel great to make 2- are easy-ish to make, 3- trust the process
Hell, Nate, that planner is serious value! I have around 60 video ideas in my Stuff To Do list and I'm suffering from a lack of ability to prioritize , so I end up not getting anything published. Having a tool that organises my scatterbrained plans and offers a priority order is great. I'm not saying I'll follow the priority, as I react negatively to bring told what to do, but I might make a DIFFERENT video just to be a contrarian. Result!
Hi Nate, after watching you for years and making incremental changes to my existing channel (based around building guitars) I have just started a brand new channel for a new business and I’m using everything I’ve learned from you right from the start (thumbnails, telling the story, good audio etc, cohesive look) and I’m so excited to see how this works for a completely new channel! You’ve inspired me to do it right from the outset and I really appreciate all the knowledge you give away, it makes a huge difference. Thank you.
Excellent advice as always Nate, you rock! I've had slow, but constant, growth since adopting your ideas to my channel. Thank you! Happy Holidays man! I look forward to 2025!
Thanks for the video. I have a lot of planning to do 😂 Interesting theory about being stuck! I've been feeling like that with many things lately. Time to think outside the box!
Great video, Nate. Excited to start building out my channel this year! I’ll be using a lot of insights from your videos so I appreciate all the value for share!
Listen man, I'm just an outdoor adventure channel tryin' to repair my broken marriage and pay off some debts I owe to some very dangerous people. My plan for 2025 is to keep postin' episodes and not get killed.
Nate - thank you so much for this tool! You already have my brain running with ideas. I really like the concept of SEAS - validating an idea to move it to production, however as the producer wouldn't we think ALL of our ideas have high scores? Yes, a video planning video would be good, especially for some of us newbies who think we're doing everything correctly but have no idea. Maybe in the planning video help us on how to validate an idea not just in our own mind, but in the mind of our audience.
Thank you for this! It was just what I needed. I have been meaning to get started on your advice, but was feeling overwhelmed. The timing of this video was perfect for me. ❤
Love it! Very helpful, thank you Nate. Going to be reviewing my channel over the vacation, so going to use your guidance in this video (and several of your others) to help me do it. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much, Nate!! Listening while cooking, so I will be coming back tomorrow, because this needs the desktop ability to, ahem, focus. But Happy Holidays to you and yours. 🤗🤗🤗
I am in second 00:30 and I can already say what I will get what the video is about, and as a person with ADHD I am more than grateful for a glimps into your strategies.
This is awesome. That worksheet is a great way to store and manage ideas and production. A little clunky on mobile... but I'm figuring it out the more I work with it. It'll be fine when I'm used to it. Thanks! I have been trying to find a good system for storing and processing ideas and this is a great way to go about it. Also I like that its process based. Anyone who has ever worked production of any kind knows that process is king and that's what keeps things rolling in the good times and the bad. Making car parts or videos, I don't think it matters, stick to the process. This is a massive head start on forming the processes for anyone seriously looking into making a career of youtube.
Howdy Howdy, Nate! Does your RUclips strategy for 2025 include a course by any chance? I can't afford the 1:1 but I desperately need a refresher course. Cheers 🥂
I like the planning tool... or at least it makes sense. I think the planning is very useful as I spend way too much time wringing my hands over what to do next. I can see that down the road I will need a tool to be a second brain for research, so I'm not re-treading the same ground, plus can correlate related subjects. Ideas welcome. (Currently using Devonthink). Merry Christmas, Nate, and thank you for all you do.
Hi Nate, I really like following you, I find you very innovative and think outside the box. Many thanks for all the ideas, tables, tips... I have a channel in which I present ideas for trips around Slovenia, especially trips to nature, to the hills, mountains... I simply don't see how these tables can be useful to me? I don't have a script ready for the video, I just know where I'm going, I know some interesting things about the route itself, the starting point, the mountain... and I share that with the viewers during the video... Mostly, there's a lot of improvisation and adapting to the moment. People's reactions are very good, but I still don't make any breakthroughs. Can you prepare one of the videos in which you take a closer look at the excursion channels?
I know you’re asking him and not me, but shooting short videos (not full videos) and uploading vertical clips was the key for me, and make sure the shorts link to the video of the full song
I've been creating RUclips videos for over 16 years, but for the first 15 years it was really just for the love of creating cool things. This year I finally began to understand the strategy of RUclips and I'm so certain that by the end of 2025 we will have over 100,000 subscribers. I tried really hard to implement the strategies I've learned from you and other similar channels in my most recent video and it got picked up by the algorithm in a way I've never seen. However... I know that each video going forward can get even better. Any chance you'd like to roast my most recent one? :)
I booped as requested...... but then you did that terrible aussie accent, then i was tempted to remove it 😂😂 (i didnt though) But you always provide solid info, sp you deserve the like. Btw i have proof that the algorith has changed. Videos are no longer "tested" as i have a bucket load of content with zero views, both shorts and long form.
I really enjoy your videos and the way you connect with your audience! I'm a fellow RUclipsr, but my channel hasn't been doing as well as I hoped. Do you have any advice or tips for growing a channel and reaching more people? I'd truly appreciate your help! 🙂🤕
NOW I AM FOCUSED !!! I have a new SLOGAN. I have a new CATCH PHRASE. I have a new THESIS SENTENCE. I have a new MISSION STATEMENT. I have newly organized PLAYLISTS. I have a new strategy for generating IMPRESSIONS, TITLES, THUMBNAILS, AND HOOKS. I am currently designing a Channel TRAILER I HAVE NEW MOTIVATION! Thanks NATE BLACK. EMBRACE The AWE! Small Channels UNITE! Just Subscribed
Start my channel in July 2024 it was growing. Then 2 weeks ago my channel died. So i double down and uploaded every day. But its just kept on dying. I will just keep on making my content because i like doing it.
Looks like my original comment got deleted, disappointing. :( But, great video Nate! I'd love to see videos on how to spark creativity when beginning a RUclips channel. In terms of creating and editing the videos themselves, how to create attractive B-roll, etc. Particularly for a blindy like myself, who finds it difficult to do visually creative things (naturally).
It's me...I'm the person who refuses to Focus... RUclips considers me a Blog as my core identity, so I will continue to show all 582 of my Hobbies lol I am far less money-driven than your typical audience though... P.S. The Subtitles showed "Noes" as "Knows"
I have a channel that is close to hitting 1000 subscribers but very far from the needed watch time to get monetized. The niche of that channel is not necessarily one that I want to continue long term. I find the subscribers that join that channel come from the niche that I wish to leave behind. Instead of rebranding I have decided to open a new channel and start from zero. Maybe this seems not very smart but it feels like the right thing to do. I have wanted to be successful on YT for over 10 years but somehow I always end up failing. I think I struggle with finding my place. I like many topics but I can't seem to figure out what niche to go with. Hopefully 2025 will be ther year I finally do it. Good luck to anyone starting their journey in 2025.
if you plan to do the planning of idea ... can you plan from a to z of a new video like flint video and you also show us the result even if it in extra channel or short
Thank you so much for your video! I had a question, about planning videos of different categories. My channel's theme is mainly feeling better, and my categories are : mental health, motivation/self accomplishment, nutrition and skincare. All of these themes have links because for me they create a sense of balance to feel truly good. But I was wondering if I should post like 5 videos about motivation, then 5 about nutrition, etc or do just one, and then one from another theme... Both solutions seem weird to me ? I just don't know if my audience expect one theme in particular
Woo new Nate video! Even though I'm not sure my channel is ever gonna grow ill keep watching your content I just enjoy it so much! Merry Christmas Nate!
Yes, series of videos re: how to do it point by point... may take two or three... others who do this give up about 60% of what is needed as bullet points and a comment, "Of, course there is more..." but seldom return with the pay off. This video was done just a little too quickly... did you take a breath in there? All good though. Nice trick perhaps... give it to them hard and fast and they will have to re-watch to take notes... feeds the analytics.
Goal for 2024 was 500 subs. So, 1 year in, 80+ videos and only hit ~380 followers. I plan on revamping my delivery method in hopes of hitting 1k subs in 2025. I want to make plans for extra sources for revenue IF I become montizable.

Hi Nate, happy holidays, I have a few questions for you. My channel is for kids, do you have experience coaching this kind of content? How much do you charge it for? Any recommend for the coaches?
Hilarious because I'm actually eating a cookie 🤣

Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations on your achievements! Keep shining✨️
Thank you for all the value you add to this community Nate! 🙏🏻 I'm feeling positive and excited for my YT journey in 2025! 😄
Ive been posting videos almost every day this month and have noticed which ones catch on to the viewer so im going to lean into those and hope for some authentic growth in 2025!
My goal for the new year is to just keep moving forward and posting videos that I want to make and be REAL.
honestly, i've really been feeling this recently. i spent the last year focusing my channel on the overlap of what lights me up, and what "works", and it still feels kinda unsustainable, time to just simplify even more and make things that 1- feel great to make 2- are easy-ish to make, 3- trust the process
DUDE! HERE YOU ARE! Channel makers is trash without you!
Our channel grew 500% in 2024, excited to see how 2025 goes - We have to FOCUS!!! Thanks Nate!
way to go! excited also!
Hell, Nate, that planner is serious value! I have around 60 video ideas in my Stuff To Do list and I'm suffering from a lack of ability to prioritize , so I end up not getting anything published. Having a tool that organises my scatterbrained plans and offers a priority order is great. I'm not saying I'll follow the priority, as I react negatively to bring told what to do, but I might make a DIFFERENT video just to be a contrarian. Result!
Thanks so much. I'm ready to start posting some positive contents ❤ Happy new year !
Thanks for the video and the template! 😍 And yes please make that planning video. :)
Hi Nate, after watching you for years and making incremental changes to my existing channel (based around building guitars) I have just started a brand new channel for a new business and I’m using everything I’ve learned from you right from the start (thumbnails, telling the story, good audio etc, cohesive look) and I’m so excited to see how this works for a completely new channel! You’ve inspired me to do it right from the outset and I really appreciate all the knowledge you give away, it makes a huge difference. Thank you.
Small channels 2025 is our year! Good luck. 😊
Same to you! ❤
YES~!
All the best!
Love your channel name, going to check you out
I am now your 42nd sub! That Iyob (“Job”) video was a great dramatized and modernized example of the tale, I look forward to more(:
I see a Nate video, I like, I watch and I learn valuable advice. Thank you 😊
Excellent advice as always Nate, you rock! I've had slow, but constant, growth since adopting your ideas to my channel. Thank you!
Happy Holidays man! I look forward to 2025!
Thanks for the video. I have a lot of planning to do 😂 Interesting theory about being stuck! I've been feeling like that with many things lately.
Time to think outside the box!
Would love a video planning video!
Just started mines. 2025 gonna be our year fr

Great stuff Nate - happy new year! 🎉🎉
appreciate you nate ! much love !
I’ve been trying at piecing something like this together in my pages. This is a much easier plug and play option, thank you for providing it!
That’s exactly what I was going for! Glad it helped!
For a second there, I was like “Tinder!?!” Oh…. Like as in wood for burning 🔥 🤣🤣🤣
haha! I thought the same.
@ 🤣🤣🤣
Lolol, I did the same thing, lololololololol
Message to all. Keep going, you will make it 💪
thank you to this video! just starting now and will aim to focus as well 🙏♥️
Amazing video as always makes me motivated to kick off 2025 in a more structured and FOCUSED way!
Thank you for this! It was just what I needed. I have been meaning to get started on your advice, but was feeling overwhelmed. The timing of this video was perfect for me. ❤
So glad 😀
13:00 would love this video about planning a video!

So glad I clicked on this! Thanks for the tips on how to grow my small YT channel. My no.1 tip for myself is to have a good time. ❤🎉
Happy new year! 🎉
"2025 is the year for small creators to rise! I'm all in-let's grow together!"
Howdy Howdy, Nate! Does your RUclips strategy for 2025 include a course by any chance? I can't afford the 1:1 but I desperately need a refresher course. Cheers 🥂

Thank You so much. Gonna work through this template and yes the video planning video would be very helpful.
Happy 2025!!!
Great advice!
Cheers Nate🤝
Yes make the production video!
Watching this after starting my channel a couple weeks ago. Just in time 🤙
Small channels can grow here to that magic number
Nate thank you for your channel it’s helped me to grow even a little - I’d be honoured for a cheeky roast ❤️❤️
Amazing Tutorial thanks for sharing
Oh, man. The easter egg potential to have the template say boop the like button inder what we want the audience to do. 1:49
Bro you’re way too underrated man. You never miss with these videos. All for free too.
Hi Nate, I really like following you, I find you very innovative and think outside the box.
Many thanks for all the ideas, tables, tips...

People's reactions are very good, but I still don't make any breakthroughs.
Can you prepare one of the videos in which you take a closer look at the excursion channels?
There were so many " How to RUclips " videos this morning.....I passed over all of them and then spotted you. I'm here for the quality. tHanks
let's gooo 🎉🎉🎉
How do you grow your channel if you're just uploading videos of your music?
I know you’re asking him and not me, but shooting short videos (not full videos) and uploading vertical clips was the key for me, and make sure the shorts link to the video of the full song
I would love to hear a production video about the step by step guide into making a video.
Great video Nate. I'm currently using my phones Notes app to keep track of my video production but I'm interested to explore using your template
Goal is to gain 2,000 subs in 2025! Good luck everyone!
Happy New Year!

Nate this was again a banger. Just what I needed to get back on track for the next year.
I booped as requested...... but then you did that terrible aussie accent, then i was tempted to remove it 😂😂 (i didnt though)
But you always provide solid info, sp you deserve the like.
Btw i have proof that the algorith has changed. Videos are no longer "tested" as i have a bucket load of content with zero views, both shorts and long form.
Small Channels Unite!
My goal for this year (2025) is to edit the videos I have filmed (2-4) post them and film edit and post at least 2 others
I really enjoy your videos and the way you connect with your audience! I'm a fellow RUclipsr, but my channel hasn't been doing as well as I hoped. Do you have any advice or tips for growing a channel and reaching more people? I'd truly appreciate your help! 🙂🤕
Closed captioning went a secret third thing: "knows". Arguably better than nose lol.
NOW I AM FOCUSED !!!
I have a new SLOGAN.
I have a new CATCH PHRASE.
I have a new THESIS SENTENCE.
I have a new MISSION STATEMENT.
I have newly organized PLAYLISTS.
I have a new strategy for generating IMPRESSIONS, TITLES, THUMBNAILS, AND HOOKS.
I am currently designing a Channel TRAILER
I HAVE NEW MOTIVATION!

Hi Nate - is this useful for a very new channel or should I just focus on getting a video out every week. I see some things helpful.
Looks like my original comment got deleted, disappointing. :(
But, great video Nate!
I'd love to see videos on how to spark creativity when beginning a RUclips channel. In terms of creating and editing the videos themselves, how to create attractive B-roll, etc.
Particularly for a blindy like myself, who finds it difficult to do visually creative things (naturally).
RUclips has been doing weird things with my comments, too.
Knows is the closed caption 3:40
It's me...I'm the person who refuses to Focus...
RUclips considers me a Blog as my core identity, so I will continue to show all 582 of my Hobbies lol
I am far less money-driven than your typical audience though...
P.S. The Subtitles showed "Noes" as "Knows"
The closed captions have failed you.

3:34 Auto-captioning actually does "Brand Knows"

At 3:20, I get `brand knows` in the captions 😁 at least as I see them.
Haha I guess that works too
My goal is to improve my skills in editing videos. And I hope I get to deliver high quality videos as much as I can.
Woo new Nate video! Even though I'm not sure my channel is ever gonna grow ill keep watching your content I just enjoy it so much! Merry Christmas Nate!
Appreciate it, Merry Christmas to you too!🎄
S.O.L.I.D. Principles for RUclips, I like it
Would this strategy work for a houseplant channel as well?
Seriously THE BEST valuable information for creators! You truly are very talented at this! Im so happy i found you 2 weeks ago!!
would love for you to use my minecraft 100 speed video for your channel to roast!
I guess we will never grow as we just record, edit and share! Having fun regardless😊 happy new year🎉🎉🎉
I wish Nate would make videos on how to grow on Rumble video platform..
CC said "Brand KNOWS" 😂 No Nose, no Noes, but Knows
Ahh I didn’t think of that angle!
One of my channels lacks severe focus. I'm currently not even doing anything with it to really nail down what i want it's future to look like.
funny how you clarified noes vs nose but then the captions had “knows” 😂
🤣
Yes, series of videos re: how to do it point by point... may take two or three... others who do this give up about 60% of what is needed as bullet points and a comment, "Of, course there is more..." but seldom return with the pay off. This video was done just a little too quickly... did you take a breath in there? All good though. Nice trick perhaps... give it to them hard and fast and they will have to re-watch to take notes... feeds the analytics.
Goal for 2024 was 500 subs. So, 1 year in, 80+ videos and only hit ~380 followers.
I plan on revamping my delivery method in hopes of hitting 1k subs in 2025. I want to make plans for extra sources for revenue IF I become montizable.

hey your template didn’t send to my email any help? the camp fire one
3:21 it spelled it knows😂
Mann I wish I had your hair
People don’t talk enough about books like Guarded Laws of Money Manifestation. It’s packed with the kind of advice that actually works.
