- Advice on growing a RUclips channel in 2024. Growing a gaming channel on RUclips is very tough! These are ways to be a successful gaming RUclipsr following my SUPER SIMPLE 3 STEP PROCESS TO HACK THE ALGORITHM :)
If you want to grow as a RUclipsr, it takes a lot of time and patience. You are NOT hacking the RUclips algorithm and going viral overnight. You must instead focus on building a community of like-minded people who enjoy a particular topic(s).
Video summarised:
Impressions, Clicks & Watch Time = growth
A normal video that real people enjoy = good video
Utilise role modelling to improve your content
Make your videos background noise

Never wanted to be a RUclipser, don't know why I'm watching this, but I'm almost sold on becoming a RUclipser now 😂
Rightt 😂
Same!
Me too😂
youtubeer *beer*🍺🥂🍻 😅😂
Oh wow
thats pretty lovely, if you don't mind i can help and assist you inn becoming one 😃😄
Awesome video. I am small RUclipsr, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. If you are not popular, people won't care even if you have the best videos and the best content on platform. I am not beginner anymore, but I know how hard it can be (and honestly if I didn't use a lot of Fame- ster, I would have quit a long time ago. It made everything much easier for me, especially getting to 1000 subs and view hours).
Thank you so much for making this video! My son is sixteen and he wants to be a full time RUclips creator, but he's lazy. I sent him this with a reminder that if he REALLY wants to be a RUclipsr then he HAS to work, it's not just going to fall into his lap.
You are souch a good mom :)
Thank you. 🙂@@danimoonie
I've had similar conversations with younger people in my life who want to be a RUclipsr/Influencer because it's easy money 😅 All you have to do is get followers, and that's so easy! Then brands will send you thousands! Brilliant! 🤦🏻♀️ Kudos to you 💙
Oh thats cool
brilliant idea, if you don't mind can we be friends, there's a way i can help your son about his youtube 😄
damn, I wish my parents were like this when I was a kid
Thank you for NOT saying that you need to upload a video every day. So many people in their “grow your channel” guides recommend this, and I hate that advice. If you have any responsibilities, such as work or children, it’s just not possible without sacrificing quality in a big way. Do I want to make this a full time job and make money? Yes! Do I have the time to release a top quality let’s play or speed build video daily? Absolutely not. And in fact, I haven’t uploaded anything in two weeks because my kids are on Winter Break and it’s just not feasible for me to record anything while they are home. I had a big break over the summer for the same reason, and my channel continued to grow, albeit slowly, and picked up again in September when school started.
I really liked the advice about the thumbnails! That is probably my weakest element at the moment.
My daughter (she’s 25 and has played sims since she was a teen) wants to be a RUclipsr. She tried for a few months but got disheartened even though we told her she just needs patience and practice. I’m definitely sharing this instructional video with her! You’re always so helpful whether on here or when you are giving a personal account of real life struggles and how to overcome them. Once again, God Bless you Satch 💛
This is beaautiful. I would love to support your daughter.
@@paulathea thank you! I’ll tell her you said that!
That’s awesome:) I’m her age and I’m comforted to know people my age are still trying to figure out what they want to do in life
Wow you such a good mum
would you mind if we can be friends, i have a way i can help your daughter improve on how to become a youtuber
me personnaly sims is a very popular game but i dont think most of the gaming community likes it and by that i mean big youtubers have big viewers big viewers like the big content so sims wont be very popular
The timing of this is perfect Satch tysm 🙌
"You're not hacking the RUclips algorithm. Shut up!!" Haha 😅😅 , love it!!
Thank you for this Satch, this wasn’t the sort of video I was planning on watching but it’s exactly what I needed. I’m not sure what my niche is as I feel I’m quite an all-round sort of person (except for sporty) and I feel I can get bored from focusing on the same thing 24/7. My next door neighbour is a gaming RUclipsr with over 1 mil subscribers and I feel so tempted to ask for advice on dealing with technology when starting out but who’s to say I don’t start a ladies podcast next year lol. What are your thoughts?
This is great, i would love to be your friend
do you mind me becoming your friend, there's one way or the other i can help with
Thank you so, so much for this video. Here's one of the people who really needed it. I've been putting off starting a channel for several years now despite having a pretty clear vision of it. Been lurking around on this platform for a decade. 2024 shall be the year I do the thing.
Side note: your laugh gives me happy sparkles every time.
I have subbed! I am a new channel too! Don't give up on your dreams and stay motivated! You can be successful if you stay committed! You have 50 subs and I only have 13, so I look up to channels like yours!
Satch, THANK YOU! I greatly appreciate your help and tips, and I love watching your sims 4 videos! I'm learning so much, and you are just capping off what I need to get even the tiniest bit better! Thank you again! cheers!
Thank you so much for this! Im working on growing my channel this year and uploading more. All of this is really helpful, I'm not sure if Im average enough lol but all of what you said makes complete sense. My trouble is I am a musician but I also love gaming, I want to give advice to musicians or people starting out but I also want to do lets plays but everywhere I've looked says I should just do a separate channel but to only pour effort into one channel. Its all a bit confusing. But I will follow suit into your advice and hope for the best! Thanks so much Satch! and Happy New Year!
Your laugh is actually one of my favourite parts of your videos. I have your videos going in the background while I work when I can’t actually watch them.
This video was really great, thank you so much 😊
THANK YOU FOR THIS ♥ I have a new Sims channel and so appreciate you skipping over the bs and providing all of this right-to-the-point info, you've very quickly become my favorite sims youtuber and you're such an inspiration to me! thank you again ♥♥
I tried to become a gaming channel last year but i didnt know how to start, thank you so much. Your so helpful ❤
start upload video :)
really appreciate u opening up like that and being truthful
42 minutes of worthwhile tips. Appreciate you.
I think your point of making youtubes as background noise is one of the best tips out there. I always have a video on in the background (sadly not yours because you are quiet intense) and it is a way I use to support my fave creators.
i love satch's personality and just getting to know him better in between his sims vids
Probably the realest and most useful growing a RUclips channel video I've seen in a while, thank you.
Satch you have no freaking idea how bad I needed this you have inspired me to be a gaming youtuber a while ago I've been kind of thinking about it again and again and this is really giving me the last push I needed so actually from the bottom of my heart thank you ❤
honestly, i love you satch! this video was really useful, even for me, and i'm not even related to gaming content
keep doing those kind of advice and tips videos because they add a lot for most of people, be it a gaming channel or not
Small Gaming RUclips channel here. I really enjoyed your style. Good combination of information and humor.
Thanks for this! My partner watches for your Sims content, I've been watching for these "grow your channel" videos - keep up the good content 👍
wow, thank you, Satch. I watched it as a background noise just because I like your accent, but it was super useful.
I know I'm late but thank you so much, Satch! I really love your content and I recently became a RUclips partner (totally by accident hahah) with less than 4 months making videos and I didn't knew what to do bc I feel that it is a lot to take in. This video really helped me understand where I'm going now. Thanks ❤
Satch i just wanted to say thank you so much,you literally feel like a friend giving me advice,i watch all your videos and i really enjoy beeing part of your community
I love that you have this 2nd channel satch, obvs I love your sims content but this is a really good way of not completely pidgeon holing yourself so you can still give that brutally honest and chaotic energy but just for general topics of life, I think I might attempt to start a channel myself just cus I absolutely cannot stand managers, who knows maybe my first video could be me making my worst managers throughout life in the sims and making them fight to the death lmao
I have always wondered about this thank you!!
Thank you for this info Satch. Just the info I've been looking for as a very small youtuber struggling to grow my channel. Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Though I still have some questions, you've definitely answered some of my big questions and back off to the drawing board I go😆 You are Greatly Appreciated ❤
This was probably the most helpful video I’ve watched, I’ve been trying to hype myself up to start making videos for years and I’m finally working on getting my PC setup so I can start creating this year. You’ve been a huge inspiration to me and honestly have given me the confidence to take the steps to get going! I love your content and it’s been so cool watching both of your channels grow. I was so excited to see this video on my home page and truly appreciate the advice, thanks Satch! 🙆🏼♀️
Honestly, thank you very much for this video :) Although there are some things I am not entirely sure about, it really was a great starting point. Becoming a RUclipsr has been on my mind for quite a while but I am very camera shy and do not know where to start so this was really helpful. Also some general feedback - I very much enjoy watching your videos because you find balance between a good lil trauma dump and not being family friendly opposed to actually playing the game and recommending content. Also you are a very relatable character in terms of sitting in you pyjamas and a bathrobe at times cause you don’t feel well. It makes you feel human and like „just another average person“ which is comforting for someone who also has trouble even getting out of bed sometimes. Have a great day!
Thank you loved the honesty!!! I have been in that slump with my gaming channel and I was considering quiting. I will follow your advice and THANKS again!!
Perfect timing! I am just starting my little RUclips channel and filming for the first time tomorrow. I’m so nervous but I’m so excited!
This video gave me a lot more confidence about filming and being less nervous about uploading. Thank you for these tips, I feel like this was filmed for me to not be nervous. You’re so down to earth and real. Helped more than you’ll ever know.
Yeay how cool! Good luck and I bet it will be amazing! I started last year so I really can understand the nervous part!
Thank you for this video, Satch. Your advice was spot on. I very much enjoyed this. I just started a new channel, and this gave me a tremendous amount of insight. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and yes - I love your laugh.
I found this very useful. Thank you so much for making this video! I started my sims channel in August and I’m determined to grow it this year! 🎉
I grew my main channel to almost 10k subs and I’m finally taking this gaming channel seriously! I’m hoping 2024 is the year I’m able to make this one pop off because my gaming videos are some of my favorites and nobody likes my gaming videos on my main channel 😭💐
Great video and tips. Adding your voice and a face cam to the video helps a lot. I started doing this in December last year and I have noticed that people tend to interact more in the comments and subscribe!
I've got over a thousand videos, and almost 5000 subs but still not monetized. I don't get a ton of feedback so I'm always guessing what they want. You gave some really good pointers. I am just an old lady who loves simulation gaming...lol. I had a lot to learn about making videos and youtube in general that I haven't really dived into the content or thumbnail issues very much yet. Your breakdown was simple and easy to understand, unlike so many others who get too technical. I think I now have a grasp on what I need to do this year. It's going to be a gradual change so I don't upend those who enjoy my channel. Thanks so much!
Ps... I love your accent
Hello, how are you doing?
huh you comments was emotional, if you don't mind can we be friends so i can help you about it
i have some issues related to this before
Finally a good video, I started my yt channel about 3 months ago again, and its been tuff when no one watches your videos, but I make content I like to watch, there are some thing I want to try out, and change, but this year I want my to start taking it more seriously :) very solid advice thank you
Do you use other social media platforms to promote your YT? I think Satch got more popular on TikTok and he brought some audience from there
Btw I’m not a social media coach or anything lol I also wanna start a gaming channel and just curious about what other people do
@@refiaatmaca3008 I have instagram, I don’t use tik tok, It was too toxic for me so I only have IG and YT. I sometimes post shorts, but tbh I don’t like that type of content
I've seen your the sims 4 gameplay before . I didn't know u started small before but woah 100 videos b4 ur breakthrough. you've been thru a lot and it paid off. thank you for the 40 mins worth of advice. I appreciate everything u said in the video. I will keep trying. only been making 16 videos and a few shorts so far. anyway, thanks again.
I just started my channel recently four weeks ago and came across this video and I appreciate the information and the real parts of growing your channel
I seriously really like you. I’ve been searching ages for this exact info. Blunt and honest. I’m very happy I found you! I just have to keep it going and improve with every video I post. Thanks a ton! Also thank you for saying “don’t be afraid to copy big RUclipsrs” because I really needed to hear that for real
Thank you for this video! It was fun to watch and I'll try to implement some of it on my channel too. I also think that copying someone else's style at the beginning is okay and I think most people will with time and experience find their own style of editing. Good luck everyone! 🙌
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to grow my channel this year and this was super helpful ❤
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful! I have a small german Sims channel myself and I'm just sick and tired of all these "how to go viral in 10 days" videos 😂 I think the best thing you can do is enjoy what you're doing and try to get better with every video you put out.
The most helpful video probably ever!! I just recently started a RUclips channel playing Sims and was struggling because I was focusing on all the wrong things but this has given me so much insight, motivation and inspiration to keep at it, so Thank you so much and God bless you
So happy you uploaded this! You are one of my favorites and I recently started uploading (not gaming) but definitely a lot of great tips I can apply to my channel 🤗
Loved your energy and transparency. No gatekeeping and just spittin’ facts. Loved your laughter, the authenticity of it had me giggling with you lmao 😂
Does your income as a youtube creator change based on whether or not we skip the ads in the middle of the video? I listen to/watch a lot of videos while I'm cooking or washing dishes. Sometimes my hands are free to skip the ads and get back to the content I want to watch (like yours) and sometimes I just suffer through the ads. Does it make any difference?
Not satch, but the most recent info I've seen is you need to watch for a few seconds after the skip button shows up for it to count as a true (paid) view. You don't have to watch the whole thing, although that helps, but if you skip immediately it won't always count toward that creator's ad views.
My daughter is just six years old, but is dreaming of starting a RUclips channel. So greatful to have your tips to help her out when she gets a bit older (if she still wants to be a youtuber then). Thank you!
Props to you for being supportive of your daughters dreams, i hope she becomes successful ❤️
THANKS FOR THE TIPS!!!! I love your channel and really needed tips thanks for giving real and helpful advice! Most informative real tip video I've seen :)
I am interested in becoming a Sims RUclipsr when I am older so this was really helpful thank you 🙏
5:58 This is something I can agree on. Famous RUclipsrs tend to have overloaded community that can be toxic at times if you show any sort of disagreement at all - something I definitely can't bother to entertain myself with
Great video! I do like how you said "no B-roll in this video" while showing B-roll. This was an extremely helpful video that I think anyone who wants to start a gaming channel should watch from start to finish. I've been at this a couple years, but putting in low effort with some pockets of success.
Nice video man, I've been trying and hoping that I can make it. Whoever is a new youtuber have patience and and I'm sure we'll make it👍
This was the tough advice I needed to hear today. I've started my channel doing lets play's and wondered why I wasn't getting any views. It totally makes sense why people wouldn't be interested in that from a new creator. No one cares! Hard advice to swallow but thanks for the informative, non sugar coated truth. Much appreciated!
You said you hoped one person “got” this. That was me. THANK YOU!
I’m starting my second channel (first one the concept totally failed) and I’ll be doing a gamer channel.
Everything you said I took notes on and I’ll be going back to this video often as I grow.
I really appreciate you.
Legend. Wish we started our gaming channel in the pandemic, but I had a blast playing board games and binging tv with the fam haha!
You’re the best thank you❤
Dude! I appreciate this video, it’s very informative. And your laugh is hilarious! Subbed!
I watched the whole video. I don’t usually do that. This helped me. I’ve been on RUclips for 3 years now and went viral with shorts. However, whenever I post a long form video, I get no views at all so in my case viral means nothing. I got subs but they don’t want to watch long form. I’m also a French Canadian and would like to do some French content but I’m scared people won’t watch 🤣 isn’t this ironic ? haha no one watches anyway. I feel as if I have to start all over again because becoming viral gave me a false sense of success. So I’m going to take you’re advice and start from scratch all over again and build a community that likes the same stuff as me 😊nice video btw.
one of the best, if not THE BEST advice video I've seen, you're funny too bro 😂
Man I’ve been grinding and trying to find my community. Always been my dream to make videos and have people look forward to my content. The relationship with people that’s what I want, to grow my community to never ending bounds
Thank you so much for this! Exactly what I needed to start he new year off!!
Great stuff!!! Extremely informative!!! You seem to be very genuine in your delivery and your advice is very relatable. Thank you so much for this video...I will do everything I can to follow your advice!!!
Love the video! Thanks for the advice! I don't agree with making the thumbnail first, though. I make mine while the video is uploading
May I just say this is the best video ever? 😂 ❤️🔥
I liked you before, but by the end of the video you’re my fav RUclipsr 😭😭❤️🔥
Thank you for this, going to be helpful for me as I start out! New subscriber ❤
I am a new channel and only been in this for a month with 13 subscribers but this video keeps me motivated! Good luck to all new gaming channels out there and may you be successful!
Actual good advice and overall mindset being conveyed here. I hadn't ever made the conscious thought to use color theory for thumbnails and never hear people talk about that. Respect the no bs information and will try and put it to use.
I have been playing a lot of Sims for literally decades atm. lol
I’ve thought on and off for years of starting a RUclips but have feared I would be too repetitive or just not good enough for it. I really appreciate this candid video and am really thinking of going forward with it. Thanks Satch. I love your content.
2:08
Thank you for this video. I've tried in the past to build my channel but never could really get it to work the way I want. I've been reevaluating how I want my gaming channel to go and this will be a great help.
I love your energy! So excited to be subscribed to you as a new gaming content creator. ✨
"That just makes you a negative bitch!" I screamed! lmao
You're so engaging, entertaining, and informative.
Excellent work! ✨
Great vid im still my first month in and have learned so much! Thansk for the advice!
Finally taking the steps to chase my dreams/Passion. Thank you Satch for the good advice and keep on Doing you bro, You’re an Inspiration for someone trying to do this Full-Time/Career and Be Happy in Life. Cheers to you mate 🥂 🙌🏾!
Some really solid advice there!
This video was a great background now noise for cleaning 😂 so thanks a lot 🙂 and the advice sounded legit too 😉
Thank you for making this video. I shall now become a Crash Bandicoot RUclipsr!
9:45 that topic would prob get 1m views for the Fortnite creators out there.
Something important for me is Posting Time - I find that when I post relevant Shorts to my audience when they are online, the Short can do a lot better.
Nice vid! Thanks for all the guidance. I wonder what a Sims X Smash Brothers collab would look like?
"I genuinely wake up every single morning feeling grateful." What an excellent bonus tip you shared unintentionally. Being in the right frame of mind helps! Thanks for the video!
Loved every advice of yours🙌, small channel like me genuinely need these type of insights from big youtuber not some hacks.
Thank you for this video! It's literally the best gaming channel advice videos I've found out here! I very much appreciate how honest you are about yourself. In some ways, it seems like this process forces that self-awareness. At least for those not living in a cloud of denial.😅 For the record, your laugh is definitely abrupt, but in spite of that, I found myself smiling every time you did.
This is perfect and thank you for making this video! I just created a channel a few days ago and uploaded my first video. I have pretty much no idea what I am doing and as a 50yr it can be daunting learning new stuff and speaking in front of a camera. I'm using an old Go Pro as my cam and will see if I can grow a following before spending more money. I found your information very useful in understanding all the ins and outs. I will keep trying and getting better!
Great video brother , see you at the top
Loved your video. Thank you. You’re very likable and informative. I’ve just subscribed and I’ll be checking out more of your content. Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you so much for this video! It’s really down to earth, and you explained things well. I’ve been wanting to make RUclips videos for a while, and this video really inspired me 💕
I am so happy that you did this! Loved the advice! Hilarious too 😂. If you ever showed us how you edit and equipment and thumbnails etc I’d be made. I dunno why I like these videos right now. Nw if you don’t. Just if you were considering it and read this that’d be kl
As a fellow Simmer, seeing this made so much more sense to me. So many of the other tips videos make my head spin. My channel grew fast at first and then has plateaued so this is incredibly helpful. Thank you ♥
Great video, extremely helpful. I actually found you laugh infectious it literally made me laugh ever time🤣
This video is unbelievable. You really went out of your way to help and other advice. Thank you so much. I picked up so much from this.
Thanks for making this 😊 I watched all the way through, lots of good advice and good on you for being yourself
Thanks for sharing this, bro.
I hope my gaming channel will grow fast this year 2024
🙂😁
One of the most genuine videos on this subject i have seen in a long time. Loved it ❤
Make videos people watch as background noise. This is perfect because that's exactly what I spend most of my time on youtube doing. I watch a lot of sims content and I'll often put on a video as background noise while I'm playing the sims. Half the time I don't even know what's going on in the video and I'll actually end up watching it multiple times to catch things I missed lol I find it very soothing!
Thank you for this. I love that you cut out all of the bullshit. I do sometimes have my exit moment before the end like you were talking about. I left your video with some great tips. Thank you!
Thank you for this video Satch.
I’ve been uploading Sims videos for nearly a year, inconsistently, with minimal views.
(Until a vlog of me spending Christmas alone suddenly got me 1.6k views)
I now know what I need to try to do with future videos but I wonder, how did you get over the cringe factor of “the shocked face” etc thumbnails?
I know every popular Sims 4 RUclipsr does them, but I dislike them so much for some reason, do you think I would get a better click through rate if I did the reaction face thumbnails?
You get over the cringe just by doing it :)
OMG, this was amazing! Thank you for making this and for not regurgitating the same script as all the other "gurus". Honestly, I watch your videos because you're REAL - maybe that's what chaotic and brutally honest actually means. I mean, aren't we all just a bit chaotic in our real human lives? I am definitely using these tips to create a new channel. I keep saying 'it's too late to make videos about *this game* because everyone has already started playing it.' But I started gaming after some of my favorites were out for years, so why not make videos for those who are just starting? I'm deleting all the other "how to start and grow a youtube channel' videos I had saved. This answered my questions.
Also, your laugh isn't annoying or distracting. It's one of the things I look forward to in each of your videos. It sounds weird so I hope you don't take it like that LOL. To me, it just means you're honestly enjoying what you're doing and it shows. It's not fake and I love it! Thanks for being you :)
You described so many of my video watching habits; I feel too seen in this video 🤣 The other day I saw a comment from someone saying that if she were to start a youtube channel, she would prerecord at least a month's worth of videos beforehand so she could have a consistent upload schedule. I feel like that would be an awful idea though, since they wouldn't be able to adjust their videos based on viewer feedback or engagement, and that prerecording so far in advance makes more sense for people who have an established viewer base. I'm curious what other people think about that though.
finally someone who made realistic video about this topic! thank you
