Thanks for commenting on this, really appreciate it. I feel like there're a lot of things to know before starting, something that is not always talked about by the majority of RUclipsrs.
Nice edit! Those clips of other creators in the beginning worked well to solidify your first statement. I've talked through comments with @JeremySee a few times in the past. He runs a music based channel. I think he would be a good example to follow if you talk about equipment. A lot of consistency over the years serving his audience. Though, it doesn't look like he posts videos too often these days. Personally, I do split up my interests into a few channels. The "Creator Insider" channel run by RUclips employees does say what you had mentioned about serving viewers instead of serving videos. Though, I think the whole subscriber dynamic adds a weird aspect to the system and tends to lock people into genres (just my opinion here of course). I do agree that the ultimate goal is having people care about us more than the content we produce. That way they show up for the individual rather than a specific thing or genre talked about. It's tough and I haven't been great at showing more of myself in videos that get decent viewership.
Thanks Scott, really appreciate your feedback. Awesome, I will look up @JeremySee and check out his channel, I am always looking for other content creators whose interest lines up with mines so yeah great advice. Consistency does require a lot from creators which is why I am hesitant on starting a new channel to explore topics like these some more. Hence why I try to give my own personal journey and examples to hopefully drive the message across to my audience, and to others unfamiliar with my channel. A new channel might be worth looking at because I am also very passionate about these types of videos. I do agree with your thoughts on subscriber dynamics. Personally as content creators, one might stumble upon certain topics that are equally as important to explore and talk about. Sure you take a gamble because it might not resonate with your current audience but does that mean you STOP and not explore? I think not… If a topic resonates with you then I think it is fair game to pursue it because you never know who is patiently waiting to hear you. Moreover, RUclips is rather tough and like you said “the ultimate goal is having people care about us more than the content we produce” that is my goal too but it is hard because if I personally just keep doing one thing on here, no matter how much I love talking about that thing, it will eventually get stale and boring even for the creator which adds to why some RUclipsrs are quitting the platform. My opinion here is to do what you love and understand that passion changes, and know that it is okay to change along with them if that is what makes you happy. Don’t limit yourself to one thing, it is okay to explore and tailor as needed to get the success you want and even if it doesn’t work out, as least you tried. For example, this video might not get the views and exposure it deserves but that is okay because I am proud of the work/value I put into it and I look forward to getting better from there.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciate it. I try to provide value with every post so it's nice to hear that you enjoyed the video. Passion is something that has sort of lost its importance now a days and that's okay but I still personally think it's important.
Great insights for anyone trying to start a RUclips channel in 2024! Thanks for sharing your tips.
