    his video feels genuine and authentic. Thank you for this video.
    I know how hard it is to grow a RUclips channel. But the most important thing for my own experience is when you have a passion for something that you truly love. If you ask me if I would do this for money or without money, I would still do it without money. So that's what makes all the difference in growing. Whatever you're growing in this life, especially a RUclips channel."

    My channel, which is new, is one of those... What the??? Channels. Well new in that I set it up many years ago and put one video on and then forgot about the channel until a few months back and now have been posting often. So, I recently started posting videos about my experiences of having psychic visions since childhood and seeing into many of what appear to be my past lives - which I can get confirmation on what I am seemingly remembering to be true when I do the research. Not that everyone's going to believe that regardless. I get a few people commenting in my RUclips shorts that I am crazy and they dislike the videos, but most of my long form content gets likes and nice comments. It's a very newbie channel - So it will be interesting to see how that all plays out as I put more content out. I'm enjoying the analytics pages as they build out. They are really interesting rabbit holes of information to me! It's worth building the channel just for that! HA.

    Awesome video as always. 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).

    their own channel isn't getting real subscribers and views as they mentioned on their own videos. realizing that those people aren't genuinely helping, they're the one who are desperate for help! making the same template videos to gain newbies attention.

    I did hardly any of this except for a few things and am about to hit 500 since last Dec. 31. My fourth video blew up and now has about 10k in the sober niche. I don't plan on monetizing. I get a good response with doing all the wrong things. I have hardly any negative comments. I go on other people's podcasts. In my niche, that may give me an advantage. Networking with bigger RUclipsrs is key.

    Depends the niche, gaming is really hard to monetize, faster to hit the 1000 followers / 4000 hour watch, but pays really low Adsense, i would say focus on different topic be that person that solves/ shows something and be constant and you might see 5x-20x more than gaming

    Thank you for sharing! In my opinion, doing RUclips is the same as doing business (of course you can also say it is for love, but love also requires investment of money and time). To last for a long time, we must put monetization as the first priority. Don't overestimate human patience and enthusiasm. The hardest part is that you have to go all out to make a good video. Don’t care too much about the data. Don’t be unhappy because the data is not good. Instead, you have to reflect on, improve, and learn from it, and keep working hard until you succeed. , or unfortunately consume all your enthusiasm, time, and money. Not every business is guaranteed to make money, but it will definitely not succeed if you don’t work hard.

      I’m not saying that is what will definitely happen but I do know of people having similar situations happen to them.
      I’ve realized a ton about getting great views. It’s not just about putting out quality videos. It’s a package deal, meaning thumbnail, title, hook and of course the substance in what you’re talking about along with value which is actually really important when it comes to monetization.
      As much as RUclips is fun, it is a business but as long as you are willing to take it to the next step and remain treating RUclips as something you enjoy while investing money into your channel while make strategic moves you’ll be fine.

    I just watched a video called whybis yourube killing youtubr from Ministry of guitar. He said everyone's views even from big channels are getting cut for a pay for play system. You have to pay now like an adverizer. You can only get subs from this. Watch time doesn't count.He said its going to kill lots of youtubers.

    Why are you not monetized? No 4000 watch hours?

    Took me 4 years to get 1000 subs and even after monetisation I only earn about 20 pounds every month, I won't be quitting my job quite yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂

      I think RUclips also puts ads on unmonetized channels. I will most certainly make a video in the future when I reach monetazation :D

    Wow when you put three months for editing a video I just shake my head. I only just started uploading six months ago to my channel I just push play record don’t put any thought into it and it’s working maybe you are putting too much effort into this just saying.. the editing and putting the B rolls into videos aren’t really it any more in my view anyways

    I get less than 10 views on a single video and that too from my fellow small youtubers not from my target audience. My channel growth for the past 4 months is zero.
