Always brings a smile to my face when I see a new video from Dr. Jake
What a lovely comment, thank you!
Some thoughts on this: 2020 is a great time to start a RUclips channel. People need to be entertained and informed more than ever. But as you said, nobody should expect instant fame and fortune. Do it for fun, to help others, to interact with like-minded people -- while coming up with videos people actually want to watch, of course. Personally, I have a DIY-themed channel and I made my first 30 bucks 3 years after uploading my first video, so whoever decides to start right now, better be patient and passionate about being and internet person.
Didn’t watch the video but the short answer to the title is NO !
Watched it now, have to say I’m not a regular viewer however I feel your joy of doing this and you always seem as if your just talking as a friend and I like that.
Didn't read your comment but disagree!
A viral video is a double-edged sword and is often a curse with the subs it brings...
Thank you for this information. it is a bit like looking into the future as I myself started a youtube channel in 2020 on the noted passion front / hobby angle, due to the lockdown cancelling all the gigs for my band. It has kept the band going, our audience engaged and I have made some new friends, so on balance I am glad I did. Keep rocking!
Hi,
I am one of those Train (Model) sets (layouts) that you mentioned on this with my small channel and I started because watching our small 1.76 scale trains appear huge on a 43 in tv is great and you get the ability you see your layout from places you could not live and then you upload them to the wider world and you find other viewers like them to but YT is better than that as when you start you are on a trip of learning that can take you as far as you want to go. I have now reached the stage where it is the whole experience I like not just playing trains but the filming, editing (which I absolutely love) to uploading and seeing how they perform and if the subscribers grow that is a bonus. I never set out to make money and even though I am getting near the threshold to do so never will as that is not what I want out of it and the strangest reason for doing it is when I depart this world I may be remembered when somebody clicks on one of my video's and enjoys it. This was an interesting video and made to your usual very high standard so well done, keep safe and well in these troubled times as we go into another lock down.
Cheers Robert.
Thanks Robert!
I do Plan D. I have a strange way of thinking with you tube, I do a daily vlog, its usually about 3 minutes long talking about what I did the day before to move me forward with a dream of opening a little tourist attraction. Its done to give me a kick everyday, I have to do something or I will have nothing to say on the next day's Vlog, it really doesn't matter if no one else watches them (they don't), I don't link or adverts. but I do enjoy doing them and it really worked in getting me into gear as we should now have the attraction open next Spring :) But your Vlogs are a high light of Saturdays for me, so thank you!
I like your videos with your sarcastic comments. I am not into legos but I will just watch for your “hello there” and the sarcasm. Please never stop creating. And I could watch grout pen videos all day long.
Keep the content coming Jake. It's a pleasure to listen to well spoken english.
Ah knah mate! 🤣
I really enjoyed your review of your Jaguar X Type and the Mazda 6, they immediately jump to mind!
Glad you liked it! I will do more car videos in future
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews Good stuff, I’ll keep an eye out for them 👍
I see you on 5⭐️ just now reviewing premier inn 😉. You know your famous now
I’ve uploaded over 900 vids and its hard work but I love doing it 👍😎⭐️
That's awesome
I've also taken the same exact route as you by doing a variety of stuff on my channel. Some videos do underperform, but if I can get a video ranking in RUclips search then it's possible for that video to get 1k+ views over the next weeks or years. When I first started 4.5 years ago, my "dreams" of being famous were quickly crushed by the realities of the oversaturated platform of RUclips.
At least you’ve got off your bottom and your making videos, because your content is so varied i find myself picking and choosing, for example because I’m trying to grow a RUclips channel naturally I’m drawn to any titles you have surrounding that topic. I couldn’t care less about lego lol. I guess its the same for someone into lego. My channel is new and I only have 4 videos so I’ve got a long time to go as the average video takes me 2-3 days to make an edit as I’m making something not just talking about it so to make 100 videos is going to take me a lifetime.
I’m rambling love your channel I love your uniqueness, your subscriber count shows people like your stuff, maybe it’s your personality why people subscribe to you? Not sure. Any how congratulations from a expat living in the USA.
I enjoy your videos. Going to look for videos I missed and watch it now. Why don't you start a food channel? Go out and video yourself eating in different restaurants in your city. I can imagine you doing it and being successful.
Launched mine, having fun with it as a hobby and managed to go over 1,000 😎👍🏻
Each time I watch one of your videos (part of my Saturday morning routine) i get suggestions for days later of videos on a similar topic, meaning you indirectly control what I watch far outside just your content 😂
Love that!
I’m sorry for being a crappy subscriber, I watch your ‘tangent’ content (youtube related) most of the time. I can easily relate to the observations you have and traps that some successful videos set.
Great point of view as always, thanks for sharing,
Cheers
No problem 👍
Love your candor. Keep going.
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for the upload, nice to hear your point if view on the matter, and thanks for the nice touches of humor! 🛠👏😊🕶
Glad you enjoyed it
The walk in the woods was one of my favorite videos that you've done.
Thanks Jennifer!
Thanks for the video. It's quite refreshing to see someone so down to earth on RUclips and happily sharing something that interests you rather than chasing "fame and fortune" but if that comes then I can see you giving a very British wry smile 😏.
My pleasure!
There is no doubt Jake...it's much harder now days to make it on You Tube..
I set up a separate YT Channel dedicated to "Irish Trad. Music" around 2006. Within no time I was getting thousands of hits and subscribers to beat the band. I've noticed in the past couple of years if I upload a video I'm lucky if I get a thousand hits..As of now I have over 16,000 subscribers and over 22 million hits on the channel. This is because (a) I ran out of material (b) Other folks copped on to the same idea and have much more resources than I have...It doesn't really effect me I did it just for the love & pleasure it gave me sharing stuff that most folks that had never heard this music before..
Actually I do watch this channel because of its divers content and sometimes can confronted with some new "knowledge" I was not aware of and your a bit cynanical view on it. Keep up the good stuff!
B.t.w. how is job hunting going?
I’m planning on having a channel when I retire, and it will kind of be a bit like yours. I have a hobby, and will do a lot to go with that. I can also combine it with my website that a lot of people use as a reference. But i will also do some random ones. If it’s just for fun I think it’s worth it.
Depends on the content mate.
If it is something people need/or want to know about or something related to there lifestyle the video will get views.
Ive wanted to see this video for a very long time
A lot of people have asked me to make this
Do it for the passion, never the fame :)
It's important to find a niche that is not yet saturated yet popular enough to drive interest to your channel. I think it's possible to create a side income from RUclips but unlikely to be your full time job.
I completely agree
I upload videos because I enjoy what I’m doing but I’ve realised that the more click baited title, the more views (and thumbs down) I get.
I don’t enjoy doing them but they really drive my tiny channel forward.
Thanks for uploading, very interesting.
It's true. Personally though, I refuse to click on those thumbnails. You can spot them a mile off, and I find it an insult to my intelligence that someone thinks they can dupe me like that in 2020. But it still seems to work! so long as so many people can still be fooled, or don't even care (which is probably more the case).
The RUclips market is getting harder and harder now. Noticed recently that alot of the channels I subscribe to have said that their views and subscriptions are diminishing. Their revenue has dropped like a stone. Some have said that they may give it up.
On the contrary. It's becoming easier as the drop off is high. Good content STILL gets great views. Problem with most people is they do the same old same old and are lazy about creating content. The biggest factors are consistency and good targeting. With of course a little effort in producing your content.
@@SocialHigh Your wrong, I have seen a channel with below average quolity post 3 videos and get thousends of views. I asked him today what He did and He said he didn't know and others asked the same.
In My oppion a huge percentage of RUclips views go to pop stars TV, Movies, music ether from there own content or channels focused on there content IE Star wars topic channels.
I've had a certain degree of fame and money, especially in 2018, when my videos went viral and getting 1 million views in 1 month over my whole channel. I've enjoyed doing RUclips and enjoyed taking time away from it too, but its important to post one video a week, as this helps the channels growth with subs and views.
I think RUclips really screws you over because of how much variety there is in your content. This is the first video of yours I’ve been recommended of yours in months and I honestly forgot you existed. Really enjoyed the video though and I think this algorithm is actually damaging to the platform as it can kill great content like yours just because it’s different.
You're very kind. Comments on this video have really made me realise that people appreciate the videos I upload. I'd better keep uploading!
Think i've earned 57 quid in two years lol X i completely agree with you on everything you said. I just do it cause its my little hobby x And a lot of it is down to luck and just getting the content and timing perfect x
2020 has been the best time to start a channel. I had 50 subs in March, now I have over 550.
It isn't too late, as I have seen successful YT channels started in the last year , especially around finances which tend to pay well with the ads. But it is all about content and the niche. But I don't think people should plan on it working out. I think people should initially treat it as a hobby and if it works, then that could be good luck.
It’s interesting how his most successful video is about how much success he succeeded with 30,000 subs
i upload model planes drones and helicopters and just like you said its all about the passion and spreading ideas and talking with the community.
Exactly. And if it makes a bit of money and you build an audience, then BONUS!
Tonight there will be a full moon. This is the first Halloween since 1844 to have a full moon...enjoy!
I saw it!
Great video. Enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews Impressed with your consistently entertaining videos lately Jake. I am now a Patreon again 👍🏻
Welcome back and thank you!
Good video 👍
I subscribed off the back of your earnings video in the hope I would see more of the same. I was unaware at the time (and too lazy to even click on the channel) that you don't upload content like that as a rule. After about a month and some more uploads, I was convinced that your channel was not for me. I unsubscribed... Literally the next day, youtube recommended another one of your videos and I clicked on it just so I could check whether or not I had ACTUALLY unsubscribed... I had... And your video was happily playing away on my screen. It was at that moment I realised, I do want to watch your content and re subscribed. Some of it is completely irrelevant to me, and some of it isn't... But you, YOU are consistently entertaining regardless and that has made me a fulltime fan. To be honest, I would watch your videos even if the content was 'how to blink' or 'what is a finger'... Carry on!
Glad you stuck around. Well... You joined, then left, and then returned!
I think I’ve mentioned this before in a comment but it’s unfair now that new youtubers cannot join the partner program to earn money until they reach a certain number of views and subscribers. It’s tough to start a channel and there’s no incentive to keep producing in those early days. The current system favours those already big or those with financial backing to get through that early stage. Why shouldn’t a user who regularly gets 500 views get a share of the ad revenue?... Why shouldn’t someone who uploads a clip of a cat that goes viral get a share of the money?
It's getting harder and harder to be successful on RUclips because over 1 billion people have downloaded TikTok, which is getting people used to consuming faster, shorter, 'watch-and-forget' video content with minimal adverts. Since the rise of TikTok my viewer engagement on YT has plummeted. A typical 10 minute video used to be watched for 6-8 minutes on average but now it's more like 2-4 minutes. That level of engagement does not please the algorithm and my main channel has gone from 9 million impressions per month to just 1.5 million. I'm lucky to have built up a large subscriber base but I see many newcomers to my field struggling to gain any momentum at all.
Surely there's always be a demand for the videos that RUclips offers
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews Yes, there will always be a demand just not as great as it used to be, which makes success more difficult to achieve. The threat of TikTok is so great that RUclips is actually trialling a rival platform called 'RUclips Shorts' at this very moment (only in India).
@@mrj4615 It wouldn't surprise me if tik tok also set up another platform like youtube to show longer videos.
I have around 6k subs and pretty much follow your random video method. Most of my videos are suggested or searched rather than subs watching. Videos tend to wallow for the first month then pickup over time.
That's awesome! That's what happens to me too
I have a question for you. If you have loads of lego cards, What should you do with it?
Recycle them!
Diversify on the platforms you use. Besides youtube, I have a channel on facebook and twitch.
U know u should add ads at the end of such videos too coz many people like me go to comment section after video ends so add keeps playing while I'm busy comment section and u get to earn a bit more than ur usual videos
You need to start doing shout outs not just people who sponsor you!!! That always works!!! Lol
nice
If you don’t try your never know
i am pleased for you
Stay strong pumpkin and keep uploading unless your miserable lol
I have seen a channel with below average quolity post 3 videos and get thousends of views. I asked him today what He did and He said he didn't know and others asked the same. Most RUclips views go to pop media, either there TV, Movie, music or channels focused on that.
I'm tempted to do a video about how much money will you make with 990 subscribers, because I've been stuck at the same place for an eternity. Unfortunately, that would be a very short video. If I wanted to get rich and famous, I would have left this behind years ago. Because its a hobby that essentially costs me nothing, its still fun and I've got this little loyal group of people that comment and like everything I post. The "edited for time" moral of this story is do it because you enjoy it, and if it takes off, great. If not, you still had fun.
Indeed. It would be silly to do RUclips without enjoying it
Hmm I have created a rather nice cheese omelette ...feedback yummy..
It's not late to be honest. You can grow your channel using a strategy similar to Dream's.
Very enjoyable video. Is your channel more of Hobby?
Yes it is
Why not swap cards and set up weekly talk show to find out which cards re the rarest ? help peope to complete the set
For the price of a stamp ?
Put them on a white board and see who is into it
Content and personality...Bald and Bankrupt and Mark Felton Productions are examples of channels that have done well in a just a couple years. Atomic Shrimp and Food Wishes have also achieved success, however, it's taken over ten years. Television programs such as Doc Martin and the Great British Baking Show are successful for the same reason (content and personalities).
Have you seen Vinheteiro's latest two videos, Jake? Do you play an instrument? :)
I haven't... I'll check them out
I look forward to your videos each week and if you increased your uploads I'd increase my watching.
Wow, thanks Julie!
I’m not going big. Just a few videos here and there. A hobby.
RUclips used to be by the people, for the people. Nowadays they're turning it into a version of Netflix. They promote their own shows and the channels of celebrities they've signed up to put content on here. If people on here now have those kind of options, what are they going to choose?
That's a huge chunk of viewers being directed away from potentially finding you. How can the ordinary man compete with Will Smith? You might say that those big shows and celebrity channels bring more people to the platform, but they're here for that show/celebrity, I'd guess that 1 in 1m will bother to click on a small channel's thumbnail, and that's even if RUclips promote it in the first place, which is becoming less and less likely.
Thing is, there's still no real viable competition to AdTube, so it'll just keep getting worse and worse until, eventually, it'll become so unrecognisable that something else _will_ pop up and the 'bread & butter' channels will start leaving in their droves, and YouFlix will have fully converted into just another streaming site for shows, movies, and music (which, I'm fairly sure, is their ultimate aim).
I think you're right. But I'm still making £400 a month from RUclips revenus and about £200 from affiliate sales
put it this way...i wear warpaint and uploaded 4000 vids in 400 styles of warpaint in 4 years & Upload Every Single Day and only have 1000 subs .
RUclips is not Easy Mode.
With 13 Mio. views you made at least 300 000 $/€.
Before tax of course.
Or am I wrong?
You're far out, sorry! It is closer to £33000
What a difference a decimal point makes.
I think to really make money on youtube you have to be young and make content for a young audience.
I've started a cad channel as a pure retirement hobby, I'm doing everything wrong (according to the experts) but who cares really 😂 😂
Enjoy the process! Don't take RUclips seriously or you'll end up very, very depressed!
What about the guys who love Pokemon? 😉
I like classy brits like him
You're too kind! Thank you
Hello there
Hello there to you too!
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews can you do more hate comments
I need to get more hate!
You tube is a tough nut to crack. If you want emotional highs and lows and you have a hide as thick as an elephant becoming a RUclips creator is the answer. John
I want neither of those things!!
Great video, my sons have just started a channel recently. They are enjoying uploading videos, would be great if you could check it out.
