This just gave me motivation. I just changed my channel to more News and Politics and man the views have dropped dramatically. I went from getting 25K-50K views on RUclips shorts to now only getting 1K-5K since I changed my niche. I've been consistent posting 2 shorts a day once at 12pm and the other at 4pm and I'll post longer too. My audience is just not interested but I will say that some shorts get over 10K and some longform get over 10K too. I switched when I had a large audience already but I'm gonna keep going because I really want this new audience. I'm not getting as many subscribers at all either. I would say I'm getting maybe 5 new subs a week lol it's horrible. Sometimes I'll get lucky and get 20 subs on a short but it's definitely demotivating! This video is truly talking about me and I thank you for giving me some hope!
Thank you very much for sharing this video. This is a great inspiring ideas especially for whom rebranded dead channel. I saw everyone commented in this video get inspired. You are great.
All the info that you shared in this video, is completely accurate. It literally sounded like you are talking about MY channel. All of this happened to me. First few videos went viral, then views dropped. Changed channel content strategy for few videos, it even affected more, resulting in low AVD and low CTR.
I'm going through this now. 4.5 years without posting on a 140k subscribers and I decided to come back in 2025, at 136k (lost a lot throughout the years). Same topic, just different me hehe. Posting once a week, I'm 4 videos in... losing subscribers left and right and views are the lowest. But I won't give up.
That's fine. Just like you've grown as a person in 4.5 years, so has your audience. They will realize they don't align with your content anymore and that's perfectly fine. Having them unsubscribe is perfect. You just need to reset your goals, keep creating content and don't stop. The new goal is to have a break even publish day. Where you lose 0 subs. It sounds silly but you're at a level that most people won't reach. Have a 0 loss publish day and then you can rebuild from there.
Thanks for these. I actually planned to delete my channel and make a new channel entirely, but these convinced me to not delete, and just act like that my dead channel is my new channel but with some backlog of different content type of video
It's a mental game more than anything. You can 100% revive your channel. Even if you do decide to start a new channel, you might as well keep it just in case things change in the future.
Yes I have been constant all the time and did everything for my channel and no matter what I do my channel is still dying to you have any advice specifically for me?
Your channel is not dying. You've just started. Take a look at your titles. That's how you improve. There's a video that was uploaded a few days ago "Cut from my stream going from platinum to diamond in a night!". It has a good thumbnail but title is lacking. Think how is this going to benefit viewers. If you take this video footage, record a voiceover and create a video titled "How You Can Reach Diamond In X Hours" (Make X however long it took you), this video will do better. Remove hashtags from titles, they don't do anything. I used to do gaming videos and I leaned that no one really cared about me. I needed to give them a reason to care so I did tutorials and helped them. Tutorials is the best way to go with gaming when first starting out.
I was just moving into the several hundred to a thousand view slot when, because I took and outside job, I didn't upload for three weeks. It tanked everything. I'm back on track but, it's definitely like pushing my channel up a steep hill. I catch myself staring at the number on the analytics page willing it to start flipping again. It's so exciting when that happens in real time. Your advice gives me the motivation to keep at it. whew . . . it's a slog. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah it sucks at first. You do end up looking back and analytics before but I'm confident if you follow the outline in this video, you will get back on track. I want to see your channel popping off in 2024.
Thank you for these tips. I checked out this channel and I'm wondering how come all of these success tips havent worked for you? The biggest credibility point or success story should be having a fruitful channel which proves that what you do applies, isnt it? A channel which gets 100-1000 views per video but preaches about ranking etc isnt credible. But i must say.. thumbnail and production value is top notch, thats why im confused
They have worked for me. I have monetized 11 channels under my personal name for fun, I have a 100k plaque and I work with businesses that generate hundreds of thousands with RUclips. Last year I did the same thing and we took an old channel of mine that was earning 5k views per day and exploded to over 100k+ views per day. ruclips.net/video/SkddrGLROns/видео.html As for this channel, it's still the start. I focused on automation at first until I changed my business mode and took a 2-month break. Despite this, videos are ranked and just like the tips in the video, it's being treated like a new channel and it's already on the upward trajectory. I could take the same strategy as the previous video linked above but I'm not trying to get insane views. I wanted to specifically target viewers who are interested in my service, which means going ultra-specific rather than going for larger markets. That's what grows my business because I want money more than views.
Your 2nd to last Short is on 11,000 views. You just haven't nailed down what works and what doesn't. That's why you have huge ranges from 7 views up to 11k
I could use some help. I've posted videos about all kinds of topics. For 1 year, I posted meme shorts about Batman and a bunch of random stuff. And I got 230 subscribers. Then I decided to continue them while doing reviews of random games in long form content. So l had random meme shorts and random reviews coming out. But now after 3 years, I want to turn this channel into a gaming review channel that does reviews on platformer games. So I put all my shorts on private and all the livestreams on private along with any other non-sonic review video also on private. I now have 254 subscribers from random private videos, and 4 Sonic reviews and 2 Marvel reviews on the public. I believe that I should restart the channel but I'm not sure what to do now. The 6 public videos have gotten a couple hundred views, but no subscribers and I still have a 254 subscribers from all those shorts.
No need to restart. I understand you've built to 254 subs and they're all there for a different type of content but it doesn't matter. Post gaming reviews, you will lose subscribers and they might not get many views but post enough good content and you will break through. Also think about the content you're creating. I used to create gaming channels and I was always able to break through by providing value. Reviews are good for game releases as someone decides if they want to buy the game and that's it. Look to create content that can be watched for longer than just the first day of release. I used to do tutorials.
Hey bro, i have a challenge for you. If you could revive my dead channel and make a video about it, people will actually believe you. I challenge your capabilities. If you are actually a GURU.
People already believe me. I have the channels, the plaque and the business. This wouldn't be worth my time. I use my experience, my time, my resources for a video but you get a monetized channel. I might as well just reactive one of my old channels. I've also done this video twice, I don't need to do it a third time.
I made really funny youtube poops and got 800 subs but then I got lazy, had writers block, had too many games i wanted to play and a year later I made a new one, barely anyone watched it, this happened a few times now I get less than 20, i'm so heart broken, I don't do money, I just want to make people laugh :(
Having long breaks is fine if the content is worth it. If not, it won't perform. It sucks but you either need to increase the scope in videos or improve how many times you post.
Well done. Good points, well put together, but can you please be more concise? It would be so much better to watch your videos if I didn't have to keep skipping parts because they are a repetition of what you said already. But otherwise, keep them coming.
Yes 100%, but it's not a priority right now. I have a list of things that must be done to get where I want to be but it can't all be done at once. The importance for me is to get this information out there.

Does channel size matter? I have a dead channel with 43k and I've been trying to switch from random nintendo videos so strictly mario kart 8 deluxe
You may have a bigger drop in subscribers when you change content and it may take longer but you can do it. I revived channels at 80k.
mate this is the best video on this subject.Thanks
Glad it helped

what's all these channels then (incl. 100k one?)@@JamieOwers
Is my RUclips shorts channel dead ???? Because youtube isn’t sending my shorts into peoples feed …. 😢

Is it possible to revive a shadow banned channel?
It's funny you say this. I have a shadow ban video in the works. I personally don't think shadow ban is a thing.

No need to restart. I understand you've built to 254 subs and they're all there for a different type of content but it doesn't matter. Post gaming reviews, you will lose subscribers and they might not get many views but post enough good content and you will break through.
