I have 30 subscribers. The video I posted took me 10 hours to make. It got 40 views. It was worth it. Im don't want to be a famous RUclipsr. I want to make content that I care about and share it with others. That's why those 10 hours were worth it. Thanks for the advise Roberto
Cool video, is hard not to get discouraged when you work so hard on your videos and then the views are kind of low, but this video inspires me to keep going! Thanks man
Rubrick yea I definitely feel you I work 40 to 50 hours a week as a boss an still put out content daily or try too an got low subs. Never once promoted my channel anywhere or click baited. I appreciate an try help people who put in effort an u don't even got to be fancy about it. Plan on getting bigger an making this something special
I agree 100% with the not comparing yourself to "Big RUclipsrs". Once it stopped doing that I enjoyed everything so much more!! Now I'm so excited/grateful about my 75 subscribers. And because of that I've seen a HUGE difference within my videos. If anyones doubtful just keep your eye on the prize!!
NOTE: Growing on RUclips can be hard but it is entirely possible. I recommend you checkout the tool tubebuddy.com/awesome Also my entire RUclips Gear List: robertoblake.com/youtubesetup
reach out on twitter or instagrm to people who post stuff like skateboard videos, people who make gaming montages or post stuff from car meets. They're always looking for music to put with their videos

I just hit 1k subscribers! Using your videos the past couple months gave me so much info. I definitely have you to thank to helping me get from being stuck at a couple hundred to 1000 so quickly.
Thats exactly what I had been thinking. I remember I was stuck on 41 subscribers for about 2 years... but then the more content I made and the more active in the community I was, it slowly went up. As you progress, the faster you grow. For example, it took years for me to hit 100. Then, I hit 200 which still took about half a year. Then I hit 300 which was a little faster, then 500 which was even faster, and so on. So the more subs you have, the faster you grow apperently lol. So I recommend keeping at it. (Roberto has some other vids on why youtubers often fail that I watched and helped me)
Now, RUclips requires 10,000 views before you can monetize. It took me about 5 months to hit that. I actually think that is a good idea. Makes you work harder and smarter. Thanks for your tips.
Never did a collab. I usually post 1 video each 45 days, Channel growth 7.000 to 170.000 in 30 days! Do what u love and sooner or later it will exploode. Thanks for the tips o/
I’m watching this on my parents anniversary, May 16, 2019 sitting at 89 and can’t wait to come back to this post a year from now and see where I’m at! If you’re a small RUclipsr watching this, stay patient and keep grinding, you’ll get there eventually 👌🏼
I have been on youtube for 8 month, and I still only have 83 subscribers. And it is discouraging... but this video helped me to not give up! Thank you!
Thanks for even more tips. :) Finally have gotten over a hundred videos and am looking to up level, so thanks for all the info that helps enrich our efforts.
Thanks for the video, really helps out. It's hard to get recognized as a small RUclipsr but you're right, if you like making videos even if you have a small audience who cares! Just keep working hard and keep your head up. Thanks for the help, it inspires me to keep going!
Right now I have 20 subscribers but I’m confident about my content and the way I make my videos. So whatever type of video you make, as long as you’re proud of what you’ve done, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY :) keep working hard :)
Useful infos for small youtubers, thx for helping and motivating us all! Months ago i used a website to get 50+ subscribers, it worked but sadly only for a moment until i decided to unsubscribe the channels that i was ordered to. now im back with my 15 subscribers and im still comparing it with my friends they have more subscribers but it seems like most of them gave up on RUclips. i guess my work is worth 40 views each
Feels much better after watching your videos. Said it before but I'm struggling with my channel. Sometimes it feels hopeless but yeah. Videos like this gets you in the game again :) Thanks!
Yorkshire Outdoors Thank you! I don't know why people don't seem to find my channel. :/ Got over 500 videos. But the views rarely go over 100, which is very sad.
I started creating content in September to help people improve their English, being a language learner myself, I had an idea how to create content in a different way to the usual stuff on RUclips. This week I went over 200 subs. So happy with that!! That means that 200 people at least have improved their English because of my videos!😊😊😊 Thanks for the video man !!
Thanks so much Roberto for the great advice! I wanted to grow on youtube super fast but you reminded me everything requires time and patience! I know i will grow on youtube and i just got to keep grinding. Everybody reading this, you are AWESOME and you CAN do it!!
Roberto Blake when you talked about subscriber count and view numbers. Seems like I do some videos and get 3k+ views and some get only a few hundred. I would like to be able to get more interaction (comments) on my videos

What a helpful video! thank you... I just started my youtube channel for 2 months, and this video actually help me to grow more😨 stay strong everyone who also small youtuber, we can do it💪🏻
On my 65th birthday, I decided to start working our RUclips channel. That was in August and I'm really enjoying it. I'm watching a lot of these videos and my manager is learning so fast. The videos are still a bit rough and we got our first unlike, behind us. I just had to get over my 'grandma waddle' and decide that I have a valuable message to provide. Thanks, Roberto, you did it again!
i have 100+ views and 49 suscribers in just one month all thanks to this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ im going to keep going because youtube is my fav thing and ive been wanting to do a youtube channel since i was 7 also im not doing it for the money im doing it for your entertainment and i love making videos 😍🙌🏼🙊
I was feeling a bit down after a talk with my husband and where my channel is heading. I typed in “How to grow your channel” and came across your video. It made me feel better and reminded me that it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. It’ll take longer and as long as I keep going it will work. Thanks for your support.
I find these tips super helpful since I have been doing RUclips for quite a while but I just had a couple months break and I'm so looking forward to getting back into RUclips !!
I only have 309 subscribers, but I have a ton of fun posting videos mainly because my major is in broadcasting so I love anything having to do with filming.
Hello Taylor. I'll support you, I've subscribed. :) Please sub me back, I'd really appreciate it. :) As for you reaching 1000 subs, just keep at it. Dreams are worth pursuing. My advice would be use Google Ad-sense and keep asking for subs. You'll get there.. :) Have a great day. Tim
Exactly ,I really admire what you give us advice,thanks dude ,pls continue admiring us by telling exactly in RUclips ,I am small RUclips just started to post in my channel and I really not give up of this ,
I just started RUclips 2 months ago, and something that doesn't really get's sed in al of those videos is what grew my channel the most (in my own opinion). And that something is: do something that not Many people do, it sounds simple right? But think About it, you start out wich means you havent got the quality videos that people have from experience. So for example, you Could do cs:go videos but there are already thousends of people making those and They are probably of better quality. But you Could also do videos of smaller (less known/popular) games and get (in comparasing) a lot more vieuws. After a while when you have grown a steady base of people watching you can still slowly switch to Csgo but just to make your channel grow iTS probably better to do videos About something that is less competitive. For example, on my other channel (where i post my videos) i make videos About my pet button quail. Of course i Could just do pet videos but there is already a lot of people doing that. And now i get About 50 vieuws each day and i stand on top of the Search for button quail, just behind a video that has 50000 vieuws (i have About 200/video) even with the crappy quality of my sound and video. So that just shows that it is important...
Awesome content. I truly believe in running my own race. Hopefully I grow but even if I don't, I love what I'm doing. Thanks again, very inspirational.
+S3hal it's kinda a given but also a personal choice. Comments are time consuming and to be honest I lose a crap ton of money for all the time I do spend months in the comment section. Like a few grand based on things I could do with that time that make actually money. So I don't judge people who ignore their comments. The day I have a kid you'll likely see me practically vanish from the comment section. I know you guys like feeling acknowledged by people you watch or subscribe to but their are other things in their life and other people that are and should be their priority. So again I don't judge any creators that don't engage since we all have a right to decide how we spend our limited time.

I still have 19 subscribers and I gave a lot of effort to edit my videos but its okay at least Im having fun with what Im doing and I can also share some of my experiences to people 💜😍
Hey Robert! I just found you today and already watched about 4 or 5 of your videos. And I feel like you are one of the realest, most honest guys out there in this 'So-you-wanna-youtube'-niche. Learned more in 5 videos today, than in dozens of videos last couple of weeks. Thanks, dude!
+bubztealover lol yeah with the problem being I make more money being an online educator. One day I will Hire away young talent from academia to launch education channels and online courses that will directly compete with their old campus jobs and they will make 10x and teach 1000x more people... that's the real goal of Create Awesome Media as a company.
Thank you so much for this Roberto! love your videos this helped me reach out to more of my clients with my current SEO company that i run. I help to rank local business currently but am thinking about expanding!
Thanks Roberto! I came across your Channel yesterday and you're already blessing my life. My RUclips channel is quite new and you've really helped me to know what to do next and things to expect. Thanks for the encouragement! You're the man!
I for really did a screen recording of you saying “it doesn’t have to be about the numbers. If you wanna make videos, make Vídeos. If you wanna make RUclips make RUclips. Even if you get subscribers or if you do t get subscribers” don’t quit!!!
Watched a video previously about learning about analytics. That you for repeating about thinking about how many people 20-100viewers are. Made me feel a lot better knowing that actually that many people have watched my videos.
I have a theoretical physics degree and I'm literally questioning my intellect when I watch this guys videos... sweet jesus the logical arguments presented here are so well packaged, extremely sound and straight to the point.
I only have about 15 subscribers but I love making videos and playing games. I usually livestream on Twitch but have just gotten back into my youtube channel. and just did my first video with a camera :D
I feel like I accomplished something with just 20 subs. Remember, RUclips is only worth it if you Don't feel as if it's a job instead of a fun hobby. It CAN be a job, but if it doesn't feel right, changing your content or taking a break is a good idea.
Hello Gin. Never give up!! You received so many subs in such a short period of time.. How did you do that?? Building a channel is so time consuming and slow.. What's your secret?? :) Tim
Gin Amber hi! Congrats on 16k! I'm still small at almost 600...don't ever give up! I just subbed you, your channel is similar to my content..all things beauty and fun!! Good luck!! 🤗
This info is totally beneficial and thank you so much for sharing. Your entire tone is respectful and considerate! Some tutorials seem to attack more than teach. Your advice has encouraged me to learn more about my dashboard and to be more patient with my journey.👍👍🤗
I have a small channel and after posting lots of stuff, I really want to give up YT since I'm not going anywhere. This gained my confidence though and it made me want to keep posting and making others and myself happy!
Bro wdym? you're getting hundreds of views homie! that's not small haha keep posting your Fortnite stuff when YOU want to, don't make it feel like a job, just have fun with it. I'm barely getting any views but I'm posting videos whenever I want/have the time. Just do it for you then if it takes off just run with it
Fantastic insight Roberto! I'm a newer content creator seeing pretty slow growth, but I'm in it to learn and connect with people. I appreciate you sharing your incredible knowledge with us!!!
I just started and I got a message on Facebook from a Nigerian girl saying I encourage her because of my acne and I was so 😀 happy. I touched a soul I’m glad with my small subscribers
#9 is EXACTLY on point. The Big Guys can tag their own names where the smaller creator has to be more thoughtful and deliberate. What they’re doing now is not what allowed them to grow and the conditions they did it in have now changed. The concept is what to learn and then try to spot the current method that allows growth.
Thank you for motivating us small RUclipsrs. I only have 9 subscribers and these are all my family. I spent a lot of effort and time editing videos and the nobody is watching it except my family of course! I am thinking maybe RUclips is not sharing my videos to Public? Hmmm... just thinking. But I don't care, I will still continue making videos to learn and improve. Maybe when time comes that RUclips share my videos to Public then I would be a professional video editor!!
It’s something I’m working out up to this day. I’m using my iphone 5s at the moment and still on the process of making much better content than my previous ones. Thank you for the advice ... One thing I’d say to keep your youtube channel cool ... Keep being “You” :)
Wow brilliant video.I've managed to get 19 subscribers in just under a week.You're video has given me a bit more confidence.I'm delighted I have 19 but I'll be honest its great nipping out with my camera and filming.
Same thing with me! I posted 3 videos about 2 weeks ago and got 12 subs! I was stuck with 3 subs for yearsssss but that’s only because I wasn’t posting content, but I def see the difference when I improved my thumbnails and video content.
12:15 - Thanks man, I've been a little discouraged but you're absolutely right. I really enjoy making my videos for RUclips and that's what should matter. I'm happy with what I'm doing. I'm getting better and better every video and learning new ways to make them better! Thanks for the encouragement!
People have forgotten that they don’t need likes or hearts or subs as encouragement to do something they like. I’m worried people won’t get out of bed unless they get 50 comments on Instagram...
HAH! Got you there! I don't have Instagram! 😝 But I get what you're saying, people put too much emphasis on the numbers. I'm enjoying what I'm doing here on RUclips and that's what matters. It's just a nice bonus when others get some enjoyment out of it as well.
Everyone is commenting about how they only have this amount of subscribers or only get this many views per video! STOP COMPLAINING AND PRACTICE EDITING, TALKING TO THE CAMERA AND EVEN RESEARCH VIDEOS YOU SHOULD DO!
I’ve been vlogging for about 2 years & I’ve seen people overtake me in subs who I don’t think are as good as me. It used bother me but then I realised it’s because I don’t make videos for the people that watch my genre. Now I make videos for me & im loving it.
I dream of 1k subs lol. It is hard not to focus and refresh those numbers. I almost meet the 4,000 hour threshold that YT recently implemented to demonetize me but subs seem like an impossibility at my level.
+Andrea Joy it doesn't matter, you may as well say... "everyone else got married... why can't I find someone?" Your experience is your experience, you have to stop comparing...

Computerheadguy yup. Just looked at urs 😂
Same
I have 30 subscribers. The video I posted took me 10 hours to make. It got 40 views. It was worth it. Im don't want to be a famous RUclipsr. I want to make content that I care about and share it with others. That's why those 10 hours were worth it. Thanks for the advise Roberto
Good for you, that what it should be all about! I feel the same way :) Good luck to you with your channel!
soo true i agree with you
I love your mindset and agree with you so much! Doing what you love makes everything all the more better!
+FallenChaos it really does.
Yup, most videos take lots of hours to make...some get a few hundred views while others maybe only a dozen.
Cool video, is hard not to get discouraged when you work so hard on your videos and then the views are kind of low, but this video inspires me to keep going! Thanks man
+Rubrick which is why I tell people to ignore the numbers
yeah I guess it's not very "healthy" to focus on them, I'll try not to haha thanks for replying man!
that's such a massive coincidence, I literally just talked about how small tubers get discouraged by numbers :0
Rubrick exactly.
Rubrick yea I definitely feel you I work 40 to 50 hours a week as a boss an still put out content daily or try too an got low subs.
Never once promoted my channel anywhere or click baited. I appreciate an try help people who put in effort an u don't even got to be fancy about it.
Plan on getting bigger an making this something special
i wanna add 1 thing. ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE GUYS
TG Promotions lol I know right it feels like all the info won’t do sometimes bahaha!
Thanksss
True!
Omg I know you're channel I watched your nightcore vid

I agree 100% with the not comparing yourself to "Big RUclipsrs". Once it stopped doing that I enjoyed everything so much more!! Now I'm so excited/grateful about my 75 subscribers.

BrookieMarieTV well said dear 😊👌👌
Very true!!! I am at 89 and don't even care, I am just having fun!
Same here! Happy for you!
Yasss makeup tutorials! I've been looking for new smaller youtubers to watch! Subbed!
Comparing myself to others is what has kept me from doing RUclips. You are right! Thanks for this.
This was exactly what I did before deciding to start my RUclips channel a month ago. Just do it !!!
Tip 10: wanting to give up/ worrying about numbers. Patience is the hardest thing (for me) to appreciate and embrace. Amazing video
true
agreed !
just remember to do it because you love it :D
huesofmythoughts we need to train patience:)
RUclips I see it as a Long Term, be patient and relax
Gianmco very true.. All the best to you 😊
Amen xx so true
That's true! Patience patience
@@JHKCreations by the way, how long going to wait for thousands views.

Now, RUclips requires 10,000 views before you can monetize. It took me about 5 months to hit that. I actually think that is a good idea. Makes you work harder and smarter. Thanks for your tips.
:O How did you get that many views so fast?!
How did you grow so fast?

Do not give up. Focus on consistency. Looking at your thumbnail alone says you have potential. That HIGHLIGHT HUNNNYYYY. XO
My friend was on RUclips for 4 years, and she only has 23 subs.
thank you!!
I love how this is mostly a story about making good videos and not like "OH U GOTTA DO COLLABS LOWL"
Reverser absolutely. Makes sense this way.
*This video really inspired me, thank you for giving me a kick boost*
Jashade *Thanks man! :)*
Patrick Notstar *Gotta keep dat grind goin :)*

So true of what you have said regarding not comparing yourself to big time RUclipsrs. That can really mess up the mind while trying to create content.
Bharti Puri yup
That's so true.
Thanks for the video, really helps out. It's hard to get recognized as a small RUclipsr but you're right, if you like making videos even if you have a small audience who cares! Just keep working hard and keep your head up. Thanks for the help, it inspires me to keep going!

JackieTea & Tarot nice
Nice :)

That's awesome, I would like to know how
I started creating content in September to help people improve their English, being a language learner myself, I had an idea how to create content in a different way to the usual stuff on RUclips.
This week I went over 200 subs.

I really really needed to hear #9, I hadn't even thought of that. Thank you!
Finally! A genuinely helpful video on how to grow your channel. And one where the narrator isn't play C.O.D. in the background.
Lol
I seriously love you! Your honesty and rawness are refreshing. Be encouraged and keep doing what you do. ❤️☀️
You absolutely nailed it on every single point. I really appreciate the help you're providing for people
What helped you the most?
Roberto Blake when you talked about subscriber count and view numbers. Seems like I do some videos and get 3k+ views and some get only a few hundred. I would like to be able to get more interaction (comments) on my videos
Roberto is the man.

Thank you so much!
I feel like a lot of people (including myself) expect growing a RUclips channel to be easy, especially since every day most of us watch 'big subscribers' videos and I think we're kinda used to seeing the big numbers.
I was really discouraged a few months ago when my channel wasn't growing as fast as I had expected. So just a little advice to anyone that stumbles upon this comment; try to have low expectations. xD
Idk, this might not work for everyone, but It's how I get through it whenever working really long on a video, which ends up getting less views than I would hope.
i just checked you youtube channel : your art is BOMB :-O
Thanks!!
this kind of content motivates other vlogger and giving a huge strength and self confidence to us ..
Thank you for this information and advice!! I’m exploring more of RUclips’s tools and putting in the work to learn more about how it all works.
Same here!
What a humble, succinct and honest approach to the subject. Thanks for taking the time to recognize your journey and detail it into actionable tips that create better expectations for NewTubers like myself. Be memorable, be well.

I was feeling a bit down after a talk with my husband and where my channel is heading. I typed in “How to grow your channel” and came across your video. It made me feel better and reminded me that it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. It’ll take longer and as long as I keep going it will work. Thanks for your support.
I have 20 Subscribers (which alters all the time) and my main struggle is putting content out regularly! When you have a full time job it's so hard😭
21 NOW your welcome :-)
22 now beautiful!!!
60-> 61 :)
lol dont forget the little guys that subbed to u before tho 😂😂
PigmentNation omg it is hard. I just recently started college and now I can't post as often.
I find these tips super helpful since I have been doing RUclips for quite a while but I just had a couple months break and I'm so looking forward to getting back into RUclips !!
Just a heads up guys, Grapevine now requires at least 10k subscribers!
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons that's the first point that stuck out to me. Famebit require 5k
The Groovy Guitar Dude - Daily Guitar Lessons I can't even hit 1,000 so I'm never getting sponsored lol
GirlBlog same here 😂👏
Noooo
GirlBlog never say neverrrrt
After almost 5 years, this video still holds true. And I still get so much value from this. Thanks for making this video! :)
I only have 309 subscribers, but I have a ton of fun posting videos mainly because my major is in broadcasting so I love anything having to do with filming.
only?!😕😕😕😕😕😕
Kaylie Clineff yeah, only? I have like 26 subs.. I think I would be satisfied with getting 1k so I know at least my content is decent, any tips help
Kaylie Clineff I like your vids
Aertew nice vids man!
Weekday WAG thx
I'm just over here with a little over 100 subscribers and struggling...1000 subscribers sounds like a dream
Hello Taylor. I'll support you, I've subscribed. :) Please sub me back, I'd really appreciate it. :) As for you reaching 1000 subs, just keep at it. Dreams are worth pursuing. My advice would be use Google Ad-sense and keep asking for subs. You'll get there.. :) Have a great day. Tim
Taylor Ryan Music it'll happen.
Taylor Ryan Music it's easy I did it
I just hit 250 yesterday. I can't believe I've made it this far.

me
🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I cannot even imagine what it'd be like to get an average of a hundred views on my videos, I have an average of like 10 XD
I have an average of 20. I'd bite off my left pinky toe if I got 100 views a vid
just keep on doing what you doing man! never give up!
I just started RUclips 2 months ago, and something that doesn't really get's sed in al of those videos is what grew my channel the most (in my own opinion). And that something is: do something that not Many people do, it sounds simple right? But think About it, you start out wich means you havent got the quality videos that people have from experience. So for example, you Could do cs:go videos but there are already thousends of people making those and They are probably of better quality. But you Could also do videos of smaller (less known/popular) games and get (in comparasing) a lot more vieuws. After a while when you have grown a steady base of people watching you can still slowly switch to Csgo but just to make your channel grow iTS probably better to do videos About something that is less competitive. For example, on my other channel (where i post my videos) i make videos About my pet button quail. Of course i Could just do pet videos but there is already a lot of people doing that. And now i get About 50 vieuws each day and i stand on top of the Search for button quail, just behind a video that has 50000 vieuws (i have About 200/video) even with the crappy quality of my sound and video. So that just shows that it is important...
Preach.
me too
Awesome content. I truly believe in running my own race. Hopefully I grow but even if I don't, I love what I'm doing. Thanks again, very inspirational.
I would love a video about the RUclips dashboard and its tools
Yes! I need some tips for my channel growth using the dashboard too! Great Call!
Me too, get on it Roberto :-)
Yeah great idea
Pretty sure he's already made one
Yes! We find it so difficult to use some of the tools, I guess it is only because we have been here for 4 months
Thanks for the advice Roberto! As a small RUclipsr myself, I love these videos.
Awesome, what was the most helpful tip?
+Roberto Blake Replying to the comments could be a tip ;)
+S3hal it's kinda a given but also a personal choice. Comments are time consuming and to be honest I lose a crap ton of money for all the time I do spend months in the comment section. Like a few grand based on things I could do with that time that make actually money.
So I don't judge people who ignore their comments. The day I have a kid you'll likely see me practically vanish from the comment section.
I know you guys like feeling acknowledged by people you watch or subscribe to but their are other things in their life and other people that are and should be their priority.
So again I don't judge any creators that don't engage since we all have a right to decide how we spend our limited time.

Ok thanks for the tip. Best of luck with your RUclips career :D
I still have 19 subscribers and I gave a lot of effort to edit my videos but its okay at least Im having fun with what Im doing and I can also share some of my experiences to people 💜😍
What do you edit with because I'm a small RUclipsr and can only use Windows Movie Maker
Alyssa Wanders you got 63 now...
i film with my iphone 7 and edit with imovie and pocketvideo
FlashGaming_ use wondershare filmora it is very simple to use
and now you have 67 a month later!
Hey Robert! I just found you today and already watched about 4 or 5 of your videos. And I feel like you are one of the realest, most honest guys out there in this 'So-you-wanna-youtube'-niche.
Learned more in 5 videos today, than in dozens of videos last couple of weeks. Thanks, dude!
I always look at the first videos of big you tubers this gives me tremendous motivation!
Lol, I'm always like, hey I don't suck that bad.
NinazHome me tooo 😬
NinazHome I do the same!
You have a great way of explaining things- you could be a great college professor haha
+bubztealover lol yeah with the problem being I make more money being an online educator. One day I will Hire away young talent from academia to launch education channels and online courses that will directly compete with their old campus jobs and they will make 10x and teach 1000x more people... that's the real goal of Create Awesome Media as a company.
That's an AWESOME idea.
Thank you so much for this Roberto! love your videos this helped me reach out to more of my clients with my current SEO company that i run. I help to rank local business currently but am thinking about expanding!
i only have 22 subscribers but its okay
Noemi Toro I have zero subscribers and that's not okay
Thanks Roberto! I came across your Channel yesterday and you're already blessing my life. My RUclips channel is quite new and you've really helped me to know what to do next and things to expect. Thanks for the encouragement! You're the man!
Very helpful. Hug me back please.
Hug me back bro.. i hug you.
I for really did a screen recording of you saying “it doesn’t have to be about the numbers. If you wanna make videos, make Vídeos. If you wanna make RUclips make RUclips. Even if you get subscribers or if you do t get subscribers” don’t quit!!!
Watched a video previously about learning about analytics. That you for repeating about thinking about how many people 20-100viewers are. Made me feel a lot better knowing that actually that many people have watched my videos.
Love your content. I’m a small RUclipsr and this is was very helpful and encouraging. Impressed. Seriously.
I have a theoretical physics degree and I'm literally questioning my intellect when I watch this guys videos... sweet jesus the logical arguments presented here are so well packaged, extremely sound and straight to the point.
I only have about 15 subscribers but I love making videos and playing games. I usually livestream on Twitch but have just gotten back into my youtube channel. and just did my first video with a camera :D
BurningRose915 I
thats what its about!
BurningRose915 hey man youre the same as me i have 21 subs and do gaming vids
great video buddy
the day i got 1 sub i was so happy
Same Here ☺🙌❤👍
You are so awesome and patient on how you break stuff down! So glad I found your channel.
I feel like I accomplished something with just 20 subs. Remember, RUclips is only worth it if you Don't feel as if it's a job instead of a fun hobby. It CAN be a job, but if it doesn't feel right, changing your content or taking a break is a good idea.
BlackSunshine bruh I’m at 19 😂😂😂
Taktikal not anymore :)
great video. i have 14k and sometimes i have slow days and i feel to give up and still watching Roberto to get inspired 😃😆
Hello Gin. Never give up!! You received so many subs in such a short period of time.. How did you do that?? Building a channel is so time consuming and slow.. What's your secret?? :) Tim
Gin Amber i have 230 im thankfull
Gin Amber hi! Congrats on 16k! I'm still small at almost 600...don't ever give up! I just subbed you, your channel is similar to my content..all things beauty and fun!! Good luck!! 🤗
I have 1 subscriber but I'm extremely new so I'm not expecting a lot
not anymore I've subbed
I put out my 1st video for fun and I got 19 views and 3 subs so happy😁💪
Alimah's World Done
This info is totally beneficial and thank you so much for sharing. Your entire tone is respectful and considerate! Some tutorials seem to attack more than teach. Your advice has encouraged me to learn more about my dashboard and to be more patient with my journey.👍👍🤗
I have a small channel and after posting lots of stuff, I really want to give up YT since I'm not going anywhere. This gained my confidence though and it made me want to keep posting and making others and myself happy!
Bro wdym? you're getting hundreds of views homie! that's not small haha keep posting your Fortnite stuff when YOU want to, don't make it feel like a job, just have fun with it. I'm barely getting any views but I'm posting videos whenever I want/have the time. Just do it for you then if it takes off just run with it
"It's only 100$" LOL😂
Fantastic insight Roberto! I'm a newer content creator seeing pretty slow growth, but I'm in it to learn and connect with people. I appreciate you sharing your incredible knowledge with us!!!
That Dad Zach I’m in the same boat brotha we should grow together
Super Saiyan Viking Matt Count me in!!!! Love your username by the way (HUGE DB, DBZ, and DBS fam)
can someone see my videos and tell me what i need to do to make it better
Great comment! I love connecting with people as well. Roberto is amazing!
I just started and I got a message on Facebook from a Nigerian girl saying I encourage her because of my acne and I was so 😀 happy. I touched a soul I’m glad with my small subscribers
the best way to do collabs are actually to do them with people around your subscriber range you grow more from that tbh
Absolutely Right
B.J.T That's the spirit
tru dat
Most small channels are also afraid to ask bigger channels for a collab even If those bigger channels would be glad to do a collab If you asked...
This is true
Hahaha number 9 is totally my problem. I see other youtubers and think, well why can’t I gain subs like they are!?🙄
Same here
Alyson Erbach same here sigh I’m at 10
I feel the same way
It definitely is tough to grow... maybe we can help support one another? :)
Alyson Erbach stick with it. Never give up. Help support small You Tubers😀
Hopefully this video can help me build my channel.
Naturally Teish subbed 💋💋
Naturally Teish 💋💖💖
good luck! Just starting my channel myself...the grind is HARD lol
Angela Alexandra wanna collaborate?
Naturally Teish wanna collab?
#9 is EXACTLY on point. The Big Guys can tag their own names where the smaller creator has to be more thoughtful and deliberate. What they’re doing now is not what allowed them to grow and the conditions they did it in have now changed. The concept is what to learn and then try to spot the current method that allows growth.
ive built my fan base alot more after watching this video!
Thank you for motivating us small RUclipsrs. I only have 9 subscribers and these are all my family. I spent a lot of effort and time editing videos and the nobody is watching it except my family of course! I am thinking maybe RUclips is not sharing my videos to Public? Hmmm... just thinking. But I don't care, I will still continue making videos to learn and improve. Maybe when time comes that RUclips share my videos to Public then I would be a professional video editor!!
you have 10 subscribers now :-) your welcome
11 ha
haha.. thanks
12 i say 12
13 sounds better though
this was literally the most helpful video to me so far
Allyson JoAnna thanks:)
It’s something I’m working out up to this day. I’m using my iphone 5s at the moment and still on the process of making much better content than my previous ones.
Thank you for the advice ...
One thing I’d say to keep your youtube channel cool ...
Keep being “You”
:)
Wow brilliant video.I've managed to get 19 subscribers in just under a week.You're video has given me a bit more confidence.I'm delighted I have 19 but I'll be honest its great nipping out with my camera and filming.
Same thing with me! I posted 3 videos about 2 weeks ago and got 12 subs! I was stuck with 3 subs for yearsssss but that’s only because I wasn’t posting content, but I def see the difference when I improved my thumbnails and video content.
12:15 - Thanks man, I've been a little discouraged but you're absolutely right. I really enjoy making my videos for RUclips and that's what should matter. I'm happy with what I'm doing. I'm getting better and better every video and learning new ways to make them better! Thanks for the encouragement!
People have forgotten that they don’t need likes or hearts or subs as encouragement to do something they like. I’m worried people won’t get out of bed unless they get 50 comments on Instagram...
HAH! Got you there! I don't have Instagram! 😝 But I get what you're saying, people put too much emphasis on the numbers. I'm enjoying what I'm doing here on RUclips and that's what matters. It's just a nice bonus when others get some enjoyment out of it as well.
Everyone is commenting about how they only have this amount of subscribers or only get this many views per video! STOP COMPLAINING AND PRACTICE EDITING, TALKING TO THE CAMERA AND EVEN RESEARCH VIDEOS YOU SHOULD DO!
+Crea Cam boom
I’ve been vlogging for about 2 years & I’ve seen people overtake me in subs who I don’t think are as good as me. It used bother me but then I realised it’s because I don’t make videos for the people that watch my genre. Now I make videos for me & im loving it.
Who else is watching this in 2019??
Nice video Man! Definitely putting this advice to work.
I just started my RUclips channel.
Victony Channel i always watch this
Hi can someone help me to grow im very much appricieate it thank you❤🙏
Victony Channel I’m watching in 2020
Thanks a lot for the tips! I will try it! Just about to upload my first video in 2017! Wohoo!
Rio Olio all the best!!
Rio Olio YA DO IT BRO
I dream of 1k subs lol. It is hard not to focus and refresh those numbers. I almost meet the 4,000 hour threshold that YT recently implemented to demonetize me but subs seem like an impossibility at my level.
theResidentPsychopath me too! I am almost at that magic number!!! Stay on your grind🙌🙌
Subscribed 😊😊
@@FixCBitC subscribed 😊😊
u could prolly grow if all ur videos werent just walk throughs. if u like playing games maybe make gaming videos in a different kinda genre
@@CherryRose and me , await yo 2
This is still relevant as a seasoned RUclipsr. I'm binge watching these videos over the next few days. So inspiring. Thank you!
same here lol
My problem used to be cringey videos. Then I learned how to edit and my videos are pretty nice.
LegendSkull27 I came across that problem as well to be honest your videos are pretty decent
Idk if I'm growing slowly, or if I'm impatient, or both. Lol I've seen people gain subscribers so quickly! How is that happening?!?!
+Andrea Joy it doesn't matter, you may as well say... "everyone else got married... why can't I find someone?" Your experience is your experience, you have to stop comparing...
Roberto Blake You're right! Thank you. :)
Roberto Blake mine still is not working
Stop comparing is the best advice ever:) Thanks
Andrea Joy I just subscribed to u.
Thank you for the tips :) I have a small channel for learning English!
