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.
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 💙
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 💛
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
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).
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.
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.
I've been playing with the idea of just making RUclips videos instead of posting streaming clips/vods and honestly this one helped me decide to go for it. Thank you Satch
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!
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 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?
Ive got hours of stream footage that ive been meaning to start cutting up into YT videos but havent had the motivation to do it for fear of failure. This video gave me the confidence, thank you ❤
I appreciate the honesty you put in this video. Putting it in non youtuber gibberish really helped me understand the algorithm/cycle. I personally have a hard time talking to my computer essentially. Especially if someone else walks in the room. Feels more embarrassing than getting caught with my pants down. 😅
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!
This video meant so much to me, all your videos do actually. I turn on your videos not just to laugh but also to learn also to relax but I also turn on your videos because it feels like having a genuine friend sit with me and talk to me and connect together and that’s meant so much to me, thank you for being a friend 💕
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 😭💐
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.
Thank you for this video. I'm a casual gamer in my 40's that started a channel a month ago. This "Starting a Channel" advice video is one of the most honest no BS ones I've seen. ❤
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
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!
This is honestly the best advice I’ve ever heard. It’s hard to not have all the answers when we are just starting out, but to make a video like this for other people really means a lot to us small-timers. Thank you. I’m going to try to incorporate a lot of what you’ve said.
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
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 ♥♥
This video is amazing. You have helped me more in this one video then in 1000's of video I have watched! And I have shared it with my friends in StreamerSquare. As I don't want to become a bricklayer, yep, I did watch all the video, then I'm going to keep working at it. Thank you again.
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.
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!
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 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 ❤
Hey Satch, I applied a lot of the advice you gave in this video and it really helped me out, my channel has had great progress. I’m at the point now where I’d like to learn about sponsorships. The different kinds, how to go about getting them, and anything else that somebody in my position may need to know. My concerns are that I don’t want to get scammed by a fake sponsor and I don’t want to be taken advantage of by a real one. Would you consider doing a followup video covering this topic?
Question if you’re starting out do try different avenues to see what works for you? Like for example a review channel or playing different genres to see which one is catering to the audience more ?
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 ❤
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!
Trying to create a gaming channel. The plan is to be able to play basically any game I want but to start I'm just doing open world survival games! I have an enshrouded series going now and I'm having a ton of fun making the videos!
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 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?
Great Video! I will try myself to grow a gaming channel, i just started this week. going slowly with some Shorts for now to learn a little bit 😁 1 Question : why doing thumbnail first? I feel like its easier to fit the thumbnail when you have your video?
This is a video I needed to hear and see. At times we gauge ourselves to bigger youtubers trying to the same methods in a way. The creative / fun perspective VS Informative is actual fact, I have had more info regarding information than actual funny fun videos. Legit the first video with some real info, the whole 'Cracking' Algorithm never made sense to me. Obvious click bait and I dont want to make click bait or be a click baiter. I like having genuine videos I create, edit all myself. Lot of work but I enjoy it!
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.
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
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! 🙆🏼♀️
Loved your energy and transparency. No gatekeeping and just spittin’ facts. Loved your laughter, the authenticity of it had me giggling with you lmao 😂
Thanks for being real on this, I starting out as well. I work a full time job and love my career and wanted to be a job coach with a video game twist. You tube is the front end of the business and my coaching is the back end of the business. It’s going to be a ride for sure.
I started my RUclips channel 4 months ago. I only have 26 subscribers. I am hoping that with the advice from your video I can reach more people. Is there anything I need to change to gain a bigger audience? I appreciate your genuine sincerity.
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
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
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!
You spoke the absolute truth in your video 'Why I hated living in Japan'. Thousands of us Westerners experienced the same thing while living and working in Japan.
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 🥂 🙌🏾!
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! 🙌
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!
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.
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.
0:12 I am that one gaming youtuber that needed this video the most. I am hundred videos in and I was so much into hacking the youtube algorithm and not getting any views that I was verge of getting depresses. Watching this video made me realise what I've been doing wrong and also what I've been doing right. Most importantly, I need to go on. Thanks a lot Satch !! 4:534:54
Fantastic video. I’ve been thinking about getting back into RUclips and wanted to start with a new channel. This has given me some great perspective and ideas on what to start with 🙏
You need to make more of these kinds of videos. I am going to use this. I love your “ I’m not here for any of your 3 simple steps shit I’m gonna tell you how it is” attitude. That’s what makes this such a great tutorial. A lot of people around me ( coincidentally adults) tell me that being a RUclipsr is hard and some of them even without directly saying it think that RUclips is not a good job. But you are saying that RUclips isn’t hard it’s just getting out there that’s the hard part. I learned so much I could write a college essay about what I learned even when I’m just going into high school next year. But I won’t. Cuz no one would read it. Just know you should make more of this type of stuff your actually gifted at it.
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
Awesome advice! I just started mine recently, and I'm so excited to see how this journey goes! Good luck to everyone out there who's starting or grinding!
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!!
I can’t get over what you said in the beginning. I think if you didn’t started with a Doubt that basically says „I don’t even know if my video ACTUALLY helps anyone“, the video could’ve boomed wayyy more than it did
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 ❤
If u follow your own style and some good advice yess your more likely to be successful🤝 don't give up on yo channel keep making Content and upload it on time🤝 thats the only way
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
@@simming.r 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
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.
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!
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.
Thank you for the info. I absolutely hate click bate! In dark souls games people love putting 500,000,000 runes an hours which is impossible in any dark souls game unless your cheating the game. Your delivery is precise and that is a gem in this day and age
Yeah I kinda gave up on youtube and just do tiktok, not famous obv, but I thought starting there might help…thanks for the video! Definitely motivates me! 🎉
Spitting real facts and so genuine, something RUclips doesn’t have a lot off and a lot of people want. New sub, I’ve always wanted to start a channel, but found it intimidating. Thank you, bringing real value.
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!
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!
I love your comment about copying different aspects from DIFFERENT creators and videos, and not just literally copying someone else's video. I know someone who made a video, only to have it copied exactly, down to the script (and not done as well), but the copier had an established channel, and ended up with over half a million views from the video within 2 weeks, while the original person got 500 views and ended up giving up on their channel. I am an establishing creator, and have found your comments useful and hope they help for my channels. Thank you Satch.
I’ve only just started but so determined to grow my channel after watching your videos, I’m playing simulation games so if anyone has any advice or pointers let me know
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
not people actually telling you to stop speaking in your british accent 😂😂😂😂 thats actually hilarious. seriously thanks for this reminder. really great video
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’m a competitive Minecraft EggWars RUclipsr. This is way better and easier to understand than most of the other creators explaining everything. I’m hoping to make this my full time job and hopefully get into some bigger content creators challenges. Good luck to you all and just know I believe in you❤❤
I'm sick of these click baits too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm almost monetized. 79 hours to 4k hours 😂 i Hope i get monetized with your tips! Thanks!
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 :)
Absolutely amazing video. Love that you dropped the bull. Most videos are speaking to "Small" youtubers that have already hundreds if not thousands of subscribers. I do not I really started digging into it about 2 months ago and just really want to learn and grow. Your video is simple yet informative and honestly encouraging. Thank you for being you and sharing your experience and insight into the youtube world. 🎉
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 😃😄
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!

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.

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
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).
Just subbed keep it up!!
Have fun, and enjoy the experience! The rest will come🧡🐾🤎
what is fame ster
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.
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.
The timing of this is perfect Satch tysm 🙌
"That just makes you a negative bitch!" I screamed! lmao
You're so engaging, entertaining, and informative.
Excellent work! ✨
I've been playing with the idea of just making RUclips videos instead of posting streaming clips/vods and honestly this one helped me decide to go for it. Thank you Satch
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!
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 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
Ive got hours of stream footage that ive been meaning to start cutting up into YT videos but havent had the motivation to do it for fear of failure. This video gave me the confidence, thank you ❤
I appreciate the honesty you put in this video. Putting it in non youtuber gibberish really helped me understand the algorithm/cycle. I personally have a hard time talking to my computer essentially. Especially if someone else walks in the room. Feels more embarrassing than getting caught with my pants down. 😅
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 ❤️
just found your video and im about 3 months into the youtube life and i appreciate you being the first genuine tip video ive seen since starting!
This video meant so much to me, all your videos do actually. I turn on your videos not just to laugh but also to learn also to relax but I also turn on your videos because it feels like having a genuine friend sit with me and talk to me and connect together and that’s meant so much to me, thank you for being a friend 💕
👏
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 😭💐
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.
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 :)
Thank you for this video. I'm a casual gamer in my 40's that started a channel a month ago.
This "Starting a Channel" advice video is one of the most honest no BS ones I've seen. ❤
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
i love satch's personality and just getting to know him better in between his sims vids
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!
As a small creator you are an inspiration thank you dude. I love gaming and the people I meet through it.
Probably the realest and most useful growing a RUclips channel video I've seen in a while, thank you.
This is honestly the best advice I’ve ever heard. It’s hard to not have all the answers when we are just starting out, but to make a video like this for other people really means a lot to us small-timers. Thank you. I’m going to try to incorporate a lot of what you’ve said.
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
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 ♥♥
This video is amazing. You have helped me more in this one video then in 1000's of video I have watched! And I have shared it with my friends in StreamerSquare. As I don't want to become a bricklayer, yep, I did watch all the video, then I'm going to keep working at it. Thank you again.
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 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!
really appreciate u opening up like that and being truthful
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 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 ❤
Hey Satch, I applied a lot of the advice you gave in this video and it really helped me out, my channel has had great progress.
I’m at the point now where I’d like to learn about sponsorships. The different kinds, how to go about getting them, and anything else that somebody in my position may need to know. My concerns are that I don’t want to get scammed by a fake sponsor and I don’t want to be taken advantage of by a real one.
Would you consider doing a followup video covering this topic?
Question if you’re starting out do try different avenues to see what works for you? Like for example a review channel or playing different genres to see which one is catering to the audience more ?
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 ❤
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 this is proper advice I really appreciate it not many people are as honest and upfront about it thank you
Trying to create a gaming channel. The plan is to be able to play basically any game I want but to start I'm just doing open world survival games!
I have an enshrouded series going now and I'm having a ton of fun making the videos!
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!
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
You’re rant about it not being clickbait and what it really is loooooool I adore your expressions 😂
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 :)
Great Video! I will try myself to grow a gaming channel, i just started this week. going slowly with some Shorts for now to learn a little bit 😁 1 Question : why doing thumbnail first? I feel like its easier to fit the thumbnail when you have your video?
This is a video I needed to hear and see. At times we gauge ourselves to bigger youtubers trying to the same methods in a way. The creative / fun perspective VS Informative is actual fact, I have had more info regarding information than actual funny fun videos.
Legit the first video with some real info, the whole 'Cracking' Algorithm never made sense to me. Obvious click bait and I dont want to make click bait or be a click baiter. I like having genuine videos I create, edit all myself. Lot of work but I enjoy it!
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.
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
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! 🙆🏼♀️
Loved your energy and transparency. No gatekeeping and just spittin’ facts. Loved your laughter, the authenticity of it had me giggling with you lmao 😂
Thanks for being real on this, I starting out as well.
I work a full time job and love my career and wanted to be a job coach with a video game twist.
You tube is the front end of the business and my coaching is the back end of the business.
It’s going to be a ride for sure.
I started my RUclips channel 4 months ago. I only have 26 subscribers. I am hoping that with the advice from your video I can reach more people. Is there anything I need to change to gain a bigger audience? I appreciate your genuine sincerity.
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
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
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!
You spoke the absolute truth in your video 'Why I hated living in Japan'. Thousands of us Westerners experienced the same thing while living and working in Japan.
"You're not hacking the RUclips algorithm. Shut up!!" Haha 😅😅 , love it!!
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 🥂 🙌🏾!
42 minutes of worthwhile tips. Appreciate you.
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! 🙌
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!
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.
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.
0:12 I am that one gaming youtuber that needed this video the most. I am hundred videos in and I was so much into hacking the youtube algorithm and not getting any views that I was verge of getting depresses.
Watching this video made me realise what I've been doing wrong and also what I've been doing right. Most importantly, I need to go on.
Thanks a lot Satch !! 4:53 4:54
Fantastic video. I’ve been thinking about getting back into RUclips and wanted to start with a new channel. This has given me some great perspective and ideas on what to start with 🙏
You need to make more of these kinds of videos. I am going to use this. I love your “ I’m not here for any of your 3 simple steps shit I’m gonna tell you how it is” attitude. That’s what makes this such a great tutorial. A lot of people around me ( coincidentally adults) tell me that being a RUclipsr is hard and some of them even without directly saying it think that RUclips is not a good job. But you are saying that RUclips isn’t hard it’s just getting out there that’s the hard part. I learned so much I could write a college essay about what I learned even when I’m just going into high school next year. But I won’t. Cuz no one would read it. Just know you should make more of this type of stuff your actually gifted at it.
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
Awesome advice! I just started mine recently, and I'm so excited to see how this journey goes! Good luck to everyone out there who's starting or grinding!
Small Gaming RUclips channel here. I really enjoyed your style. Good combination of information and humor.
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!!
I can’t get over what you said in the beginning. I think if you didn’t started with a Doubt that basically says „I don’t even know if my video ACTUALLY helps anyone“, the video could’ve boomed wayyy more than it did
Hopefully I can use this for my gaming channel
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 ❤
If u follow your own style and some good advice yess your more likely to be successful🤝 don't give up on yo channel keep making Content and upload it on time🤝 thats the only way
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
@@simming.r 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
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!
Great information you have here, took down lots of notes, much more informative than the "larger" and more "popular" channels' content. Thank you.
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!
I cannot tell you helpful this video was! Thank you soo much! I'm watching it 2nd time now with a notepad 😂
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.
Thank you for the info. I absolutely hate click bate! In dark souls games people love putting 500,000,000 runes an hours which is impossible in any dark souls game unless your cheating the game. Your delivery is precise and that is a gem in this day and age
Yeah I kinda gave up on youtube and just do tiktok, not famous obv, but I thought starting there might help…thanks for the video! Definitely motivates me! 🎉
Good advice
Spitting real facts and so genuine, something RUclips doesn’t have a lot off and a lot of people want.
New sub, I’ve always wanted to start a channel, but found it intimidating.
Thank you, bringing real value.
Hey your video is very informative. I just started out on the tubes and I can really use these more down to earth advice.
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!
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!
I love your comment about copying different aspects from DIFFERENT creators and videos, and not just literally copying someone else's video. I know someone who made a video, only to have it copied exactly, down to the script (and not done as well), but the copier had an established channel, and ended up with over half a million views from the video within 2 weeks, while the original person got 500 views and ended up giving up on their channel. I am an establishing creator, and have found your comments useful and hope they help for my channels. Thank you Satch.
I’ve only just started but so determined to grow my channel after watching your videos, I’m playing simulation games so if anyone has any advice or pointers let me know
wow, thank you, Satch. I watched it as a background noise just because I like your accent, but it was super useful.
i'm here to watch this!!!
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
not people actually telling you to stop speaking in your british accent 😂😂😂😂 thats actually hilarious. seriously thanks for this reminder. really great video
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’m a competitive Minecraft EggWars RUclipsr. This is way better and easier to understand than most of the other creators explaining everything. I’m hoping to make this my full time job and hopefully get into some bigger content creators challenges. Good luck to you all and just know I believe in you❤❤
I'm sick of these click baits too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I'm almost monetized. 79 hours to 4k hours 😂 i Hope i get monetized with your tips! Thanks!
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 :)
Absolutely amazing video. Love that you dropped the bull. Most videos are speaking to "Small" youtubers that have already hundreds if not thousands of subscribers. I do not I really started digging into it about 2 months ago and just really want to learn and grow. Your video is simple yet informative and honestly encouraging. Thank you for being you and sharing your experience and insight into the youtube world. 🎉
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! 🎉
