Project 24 is our membership program that teaches you how to work toward replacing your current income with income from RUclips channels and websites in 24 months.
Project 24 is a product of Income School LLC. Results mentioned are not typical. The trademark “Project 24” refers to the goal of some people to create a successful business in 24 months, but is not a promise or guarantee of that success. Many online businesses fail because, like any business, it requires hard work, skill, and dedication. Before making business decisions, consult financial and legal professionals licensed in your jurisdiction.
Do you agree or disagree with us on this one?
Great point. I started on RUclips in 2008 in the beekeeping niche and in 2022 I earned my silver play button just by being persistent and consistent in creating content to help answer beekeepers' question. Now I'm nearly at 150,000 subscribers. Amazing.
If you constantly give people some real value, the audience will grow inevitably
This. Give value, and add on top all the tips you get here or whatever, regarding editing out the boring bits, make audio and video as good as you can, study curiosity attracting thumbnails.
Finally, a down to earth honest "how to grow a YT channel" channel that doesn't just BS with you about "do this" or "do that" and you will get discovered. I appreciate how these guys actually talk about how 99% of the time when trying to new technique that all the other "how to channels" talk about that doesn't work for most people.
I had this happen with one of my videos. 51k+ views in 2 months compared to my 300-2k view videos. But I realized quickly that chasing that wasn't something I wanted to focus on attempting to recreate and instead am just making the best content I can and if it happens it happens.
But what I will say is that video did a lot for ramping up my subs, views and watch hours which in turn helped my channel grow. So it's not always about the video but rather how it affects the overall Channel.
Defo agree with this, although I've been lucky the past few weeks I've had massive views which is awesome but not looking forward to when it goes back to normal
It's hard to balance enjoying the highs, and preparing for the lows. But that's the life of a creator for ya!
@@ChannelMakers Appreciate the reply, thanks guys 😎
It has been so up and down for my channel, had days with hundreds of subs and then a month with no new subscribers I have started to take down some of the poor preforming content. I guess it's all about learning and improving 😊 thanks for sharing 😊
@@ChannelMakersI'm so with you on your comment. One moment full speed then nothing for ages 😊 never give up and keep enjoying with a big smile 😊
@@MrH2S Yea I'm learning quick that its all about realising that we don't know anything and need to always want to improve
My videos get between 500 to 2000 views in the first month after publishing. Some have done well long term (years). I made a video about the solar eclipse and that video got 600k+ views in less than three weeks. Subscribers shot up by nearly 1000. To be honest, it was pretty thrilling. Every video since has been back to normal (actually less than normal). But I keep on going because it's fun.
I no longer follow the 'gurus' who keep pushing for that viral video. I am grateful for every view and every subscriber even if it's just 2 a day! May was the worst month for all 3 of my channels and I actually thought about the idea of quitting. Instead, I backed off and restrategized. Back at it with a new outlook, for at least the next several months.
That's a great outlook!
😊I'm exactly on your side, I been thinking about quitting but that is not a good way to success and I'd be a quitter instead of a winner. Never quit 😊 stay motivated and yes 1 new subscriber more makes us smile 😊 100 more makes me wanna dance and sing too. 😊 Never think about quitting again. 😊
@@SuccessisTheGoal I Subscribed after reading your comment and channel description. 💪😊
@@MrH2S I appreciate your time to check me out and join in! Don't be a stranger and speak up when you have something to say. I'll be here...there! 😏
I've used that advice and it worked great for me... But it wasn't just about keep making videos.. What I did what keep making em and trying to improve something each time, making adjustments on a regular basis based on what the analytics were telling me. It's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it.
The old saying "A watched pot doesnt boil" comes to mind.
Yes! Better be prepared for the long haul and enjoy what you're doing so that you CAN be okay with the long haul
Relying on one video is like going viral for you and not being able to handle subsequent videos as you just expect the rest to do great. Whereas consistency will allow you to sustain growth.
Exactly!
I agree with this! I just can't rely on one of my videos to be scooped up by the Algorithm. I've worked my arse off, improving many aspects like getting my thumbnails to a really good standard, improving my delivery, even down to putting a pinned comment in place to direct people to whatever playlist is appropriate. And now I'm beginning to see some encouraging results 😊
I don't look at analytics hardly at all now. I just look at views and hunker down and accept it will be a marathon. You better enjoy the process. And IF you go viral, that's icing.
Nice. Love the new thumbnails. They really pop out.
Thanks! Cody and Andrea are making us look good! :)
I've got a small channel, I pivoted twice then I found what works. I'm growing about the same or maybe a little bit more than the average channel. I've had 2 "viral" or videos that perform significantly better than the norm. I don't expect any of them to do that l'm just pleasantly suprised when it does.
This happened to me. I went from hundreds of views to zero. Not even my subs.
Great video, thank you.
Off this topic, Thumbnails test and compare is garbage, I did it on 4 videos and 😴😴😴, It still choose my first pick but differences in % was minimal.
Thank you.
I agree with all except one! Because I broke it. For me, one video (I think was the 5°ft) made all the difference. And the funny thing is, never stopped. Funnier even, it was planned. I started the channel on slow steady pace, keeping the "one" video for the ripe time and it worked.
But on the other hand, I'm humble to admit that even on strategy, there might be an account for luck. :) Cheers!
I make my videos because I want to make them, for fun and passion, and luckily they take so long to make that I can never even try to please the algorithm or pump out too many just for the sake of a viral one. But of course, I do hope with each of them when I make them public, that they hit that viral-boost... but thats just hoping. luckily my last one did. but I'm fully aware that it can go back to normal now. so I try to not feel too emotionally attached by it. And just keep going and keep making stuff because i like it, and not for the views.
You guys give me lot of insight from few videos .. thank u very much 💐💐💐
My most successful video got over 25 million views, and it literally meant nothing, because the other videos were rubbish and I had no clue what I was doing. My old channel with this on is babyalien83 and trainspotter almost killed by high speed train.
Yes, I agree with a lot. In fact, my most viral video drives traffic away from many of my other videos. Then I see a clear trend every year that it depends a lot on the season. I live in a country with winter and snow. So my winter videos will be much more exclusive than the summer videos like now. 😀
I can associate with what you are saying. I have only about 3 videos that take off videos.. But I keep on trying, although sometimes I feel negative and just post 1 or 2 videos in a month. It took me so long to just get to 100 subs..
Keep creating while spicing your videos with some creativity and ensuring you give some form of value to the consumer either in form of entertainment or education.
Great video and advice
*My First Video got 42K views and then I made 4 more videos that surpassed that 1st one lmao, but I pivoted, same thing but more variety as My channel is supposed to be and I changed My Channel Name and now I'm doing well*
I couldn't disagree more the post referenced did not say don't change don't pivot don't improve... that was you believing that the post needed to be more detailed but you can only place so much in a singular post.
Good point!
On my channel I'm on a quest to make videos of every fish I catch , fishing is my Hobbie, my passion, capturing it on video and making videos is part of my fishing and my Hobbie, if people watch my videos and content that's great, but if people don't, that's ok, I'm not going to try to change what I do or who I am to make people watch my channel I'm staying my authentic self
Hey thanks for all your inputs and perspectives, I watch all of your content. Let me be the first to outline a topic no one is ready to tackle. How to overcome the “wokeness” RUclips is built on and how that affects certain channels!
Don’t worry I will not be mad is you don’t respond. I get it👍
Keep up the great work✌️
You might enjoy the latest episode from our podcast Creator Files: ruclips.net/video/MtuTRwXogqg/видео.htmlsi=QRqC-nS0vYyoi1X4
It isn't on exactly that topic but definitely relevant to the conversation :)
@@ChannelMakers ok thanks✌️
I don’t really get it, the advice you gave is basically the same advice from that post, I.e. just keep creating content?
Nope! Our take is that every video matters, so focus on improving every video rather than waiting for that one video to "change everything". Yes, keep creating, but do it really intentionally. :)
@@ChannelMakers yeah ok, agreed with you on that one 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏
hey guys, dont see nate anymore what happend?
He's just copying our videos now, like this one.
