That’s because he is a nice person, and if I can take a small action to help him in return for the value he has given me I will. Wow, might have just learned something
@@peacefulmorningaffirmationsDon't post anything for 3 months. After that post a series of at least 5 videos spaced out by a few days in the same niche
One day, all of us will make a video. A video that would change our channels forever. One that would give us millions of views and establish an audience. You just need to be patient and come up with a great idea.
I’m 63 subs away from 1,000. I always hear the first 1,000 is the most difficult. I have had my channel for 16 years mostly just posting randomly. The last couple years I have been producing more focused content, and it’s gaining traction. Good luck out there guys and gals
Im 81 subs away from 1,000 Problem is i have been doing yt for so long i have tried a lot of different niches gaming and a lot of other stuff but after like 4 years i think i have found a proper niche which i can actually grow in
It depends, both crunchy and smooth are fine as long as it’s 100% peanuts. But in all seriousness, how do you know if your thumbnail is bad when your video isn’t shown to people? It also might be the topic that people just don’t care about. It’s hard as a starting RUclipsr to know what you are doing right and wrong when you hardly get any views
Well guys, when beginner youtubers speak about shadowban they mean SHORTS. Because usually we get a spike of impressions/views after around 6 to 12 hours after the initial upload. And it happens for EVERY short but all of a sudden youtube stops doing that and you get 5 views total. It continues to happen for next # of shorts. I do know a lot of beginners who faced that.
That impression spike is so real. After like 5 hours my video or short gets a HUGE spike. If that doesn't happen the video only gets a few hundred views max. I have heard that this becomes more consistent as your channel grows.
I see your comments every now and then, i think if you really want to do motivational content you NEED to use your real voice as emotional messages just kind of get watered down when voiced by an AI or text to speech. Good luck man
@@BestMotivationChannel1 Your channel will probably continue to get 2-3 views every short then, no matter how much you upload. You gotta upload quality content to get the views, but good luck dude
I fully agree with the bulk call to action, once I stopped asking for subs more people started watching and subscribing. Be humble, ask a question, maybe you already know the answer, but it creates interaction with your audience. The best thing you can do is present them with a video recommendation at the end, if they watched that far give them something similar to watch. Don't just set the end to youtube recommendation, choose something and verbally tell them it's something they will enjoy.
If youtube wants to give my videos a fair chance, then why do some of my shorts have under 5-10 views and no impressions(the views are all my subscribers). Also I got a video with 78% viewed, 180%+ AVD, and it only got 10,000 views before stopping. Isn't 70-80% viewed and over 100% AVD enough to go viral? As for my long form videos, I've got nothing to complain about except my own skills lacking.
Brutal and yet very funny😂. One thing that is hard for self-assured people to grasp about RUclips is that because the platform is so saturated now it takes A LOT of hard work to stand out and create an audience. Much more than it did 10 or even 5 years ago. I'm not super viral but I have made great progress on my channel because of the advice here. Good job guys!
My biggest challenge I think is: The type of content I create is results based. What do I mean? I scratch lottery tickets. If I don't win on a scratch ticket, it feels like an automatic failed videos before i even get started. I have over 3600 subscribers but I only have 1200 watch hours. My shorts do very well sometimes. Should I separate my videos. (Shorts/Longform) Should I have a channel just for shorts and a separate channel just for Longform Videos?
Just be open minded and willing to learn from anything and anyone, not just from RUclips. I always look at daily life, in general, and use anything I see or hear and reinvest any learning moments into my career as a video content creator.
That’s so true people don’t care until they know you, but this is normal. I mean they have to trust you and believe that you’re real and honest. It’s so much work and sometimes even your platform is not always right. I tested it many times with thumbnail and title but no results. For beginners is actually not bad but it still need to be improved! I learned a lot from you guys 🙏🏼♥️☮️
Just be careful of getting copyright strikes because account will be restricted for 90 days and every single new video you make will get very limited views.
My biggest issue is getting so involved in the content I forget a call for action 😂 I think people forget the algorithm is trying to find your audience and it takes time. The buy product is it drives your retention and CTR down when first getting started. This is my second channel, after 3 weeks I have 8k views 👍🏼and 68 subscribers 👎🏼. Its a process
I know of one video about the Ten Commandments that was RESTRICTED as being unsuitable for young people. Straight out of the Bible. But even after appeal, the YT police said it did not meet their "guidelines" so maintained the restriction. Eye roll.
RUclips is hard work, requires a lot of brain work, and takes time you likely don't have or don't want to spend. You may end up throwing 8 hours a day at your channel for little to no results for years. This happened to me, however the hard work paid off eventually and resulted in channel growth and income. The truth is there's two types of people in the world: people who try hard and do their best, and people who don't. Even people who try hard and do their best will struggle on RUclips. Those people may struggle more actually because they are used to the format of work hard and get good results. It may be hard for those type of people to work hard and not get the good results. If that's you just focus on providing value to your audience. Whether that's entertainment if you are very entertaining or it's providing information people need in a format that is easy to digest. OK carry on soldiers. And don't be afraid to change your video title and thumbnail if they don't perform.
Thanks for the most honest comment man, I only started to grow more the past 3 months since Iv spent more time actually hammering down on things. But you are right, so far it’s taken alot of time for me, but I’m growing now none the less. Slowly but surly. I just think everything takes time, what’s the point in planting a seed? And it growing over night. Fast success builds ego, slow success builds character. I love that saying. And it’s so true ❤🙏
I think the main point of this video is to always take your viewer in to account. Think if you saw your video with your thumbnail would you click it? You cant get an audience out of nothing.
People don’t understand that you shouldn’t do RUclips if you don’t enjoy making videos. If your only goal is to make money or become famous, it’ll most likely never happen. If your only goal is to create fun content for yourself and your friends, then even if you never get a single dollar or follower, you’ll never regret making videos.
Great comment. That's exactly how I run my mini channel. As long as I enjoy what I've produced and get even a single comment to say someone has liked it too it's worth it. I guess it depends what you are trying to achieve. I rather produce than consume.
I agree that spending time on a thumbnail is important, but I haven't come across any data showing whether a thumbnail is the main reason why someone decides to click on or skip a video.
they have another video talking about this actually, according to them, the algorithm doesnt discriminate, the whole goal of it is to entertain the viewer
@@masterjskingdom Come on is common sense right, why would they wanna help random small creator when the big creator are here to stay, and they are going to help small creator only when they need a new one.
Like anything else in life, it’s about consistency and improvement. When you get a new job, you don’t know anything about it. But when you show up to work everyday and learn more, you getter better at your job. The same rules apply to RUclips. The same rules apply to life in general .
Your advise is absolute truth, my videos aren't that great yet, but the are better than when i started. It's a learning process and there is a lot to learn.
I absolutely love being a small creator. Being new to the world is exciting. Theres so much room for expermentation to find your style and all. After hitting 500 subs and beyond, there are so many ways my life improved. Good luck to all new creators. Don't give up
People give up cause they waiting to blow up. SOO much pleasure in the beginning stages. You know that feeling when you are on a plane to your vacation destination. Excited to explore and experience.It's like that.
I started a new RUclips channel and i am loving what i do and yes its not easy and i do have help from others who are better at certain things and make it work.. If you are passionate about something and you go for it you will succeed 1000 times over..
Honestly I'm glad a lot of people like my content and or watch it. It's the finding them and or them finding me that is tricky. I just recently hit 800 subscriber's in under a year. Watch hours are the nightmare for me. I didn't make long videos before for long form content b until I made a poll asking if people were ok with longer videos. My subscribers were ok with that, and i realized my worst mistake was not making long form stuff before... Sorry for the novel. Anyway, I'm glad people watcg a lot of what i post and i hope i can make better stuff soon. I do ask for subscribes a lot, and i hope it helps.
As I Completely Noticed It's Not Easy To Build Your Own Channel, Is Hard But will be Worth it in the long run to everyone do not give up and Keep Pushing 💪🏾 because it gets better time from time.
I hit my first bump in the road with my channel (of many I'm sure) but I managed an upload last week and I'm energised and cooking up my next idea. Gone back to basics and I'm determined to try and make my next upload the best one yet :) To anyone in the dip that I was in the last few weeks, just do what you need to do. Whether that's continuing on, taking a break or going back to basics, you've got this! :)
I’ve been doing this for 3 months now and loving the journey but unfortunately some of my best videos just don’t get as many views and that’s just how it is. Lucky I enjoy making cinematic vlogs or this would be really hard to stomach ❤
@@Justcallmemike25 thanks so much! just had a look at your channel. all that driving! I',m sure you see some of the coolest most cinematic locations on your travels!
@@NoHomage yea I see a lot of cool stuff. But it’s all through the windshield. Wish I had time to enjoy it more. It’s more like see it, take a note of it, and hope I can get back and see it for real one day lol.
Smooth. Great brutal truths also :D It was a hard truth for me to finally accept that our RUclips genre is sooo saturated. We just keep grinding and hoping to bust out any day now. Lol If nothing else, we have great video storage for all of our travel memories🤩
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? This may be an unpopular opinion, lol, but I like both. It depends on my mood. Or if I'm making cookies. Though I don't have a baking channel, but a sewing channel, I sometimes insert baking montages.
I know it's hard for a newbie creators, including myself too. A lot of challenges, struggles, and tears also. But, don't be worry as long you're keep being consistent, patient, and enjoying your work, nothing is impossible. I'm still on my way 336 subscribers, and hopefully still going strong. Don't give up everyone & keep enjoying being a Content Creator 💪
From a viewer's perspective. About thumbnails and titles. I will not click on one that looks spammy. Example showing horrific unbelievable over-the-top weather scenes. Really!? If it doesn't look authentic and too wild to be believed then I bypass it. The other is when I find out after clicking on the video that nothing in the title pertains to the content in the video I'll thumb down it. The third is when some random channel with a vague name shows videos that I know I have seen somewhere else.
It is widely recognized that RUclips's primary goal is to serve its viewers. The platform's algorithm prioritizes content that attracts a significant audience, resulting in increased impressions and exposure to a broader demographic. While content creators provide the videos, it is ultimately the viewers who generate revenue through their engagement and interactions with the content and the advertisers. Peanut butter: smooth/creamy. (Watch the entire video.) ♥️😎👍
Thumbnails are HARD. I thought I did really well on my last one but even after 100 videos I still don't get it. I might need to seriously outsource this.
I checked out your channel. Send me some photos and what the video is about. I will make a few for you to review and use. No charge - I don't do thumbnails for a living. You can contact me by email using the link in the Creative Cooking channel description.
I'm so allergic to peanut butter _:D but, I can say my mistake in my previous channel, was: I was so focused on what is NOT on youtube, and I was trying to make that, that I have totally forgot what I like and why I've made that channel that I got just exuhsted.
People saying you keep talking about the same stuff over and over again, which is true, forget that there are always new viewers who haven't heard that information yet. If you have you are not supposed to keep watching the same advice over and over again... maybe it's a sign you are not getting it.
@@Spacemarine658 yes they should change it to that you tube doesn't shadow ban, but they do restrict you, with limited impression to 0, lots more evidence around that topic.
@@Spacemarine658 there is also another apparent issue with current subscribers and the way the algorithm tests content with them, tanking most of your videos before they even get a chance out in the wild, gathering evidence currently, just got to get past the wall of AI chat bots at you tube support.
This is the first time tuning in to watch this duo on VidIQ. Love them! !Great advice and love their positivity and smiles. Just what I needed to watch whilst having a coffee. Thanks for the tips, folks....And by the way.....Definitely CRUNCHY peanut butter is the best! :))
I had a strange thing happen. I dropped a video Friday night, it was at about 100 views within a hour, I went to bed after reading the comments on the video and responding to them. Also had 156% click through rate and high view duration. I woke up the next morning and my views were deleted. No, I never ever, ever buy views (would be a waste of money and wouldn’t do anything for me anyway). The comments were legit with most being returning viewers so I have no idea what happened. My other channel pops off though yet this one has been struggling since February. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the amazing advice! Would you ever do a video on if it's smart to do longform and shorts on the same channel or if you should make 2 different channels 1 for shorts and 1 for longform content
if you guys don't believe in "shadow banning" or similar, explain this, there is a channel that has taken several videos of mine and downloaded them so they went from the original 4K video to 1440, they then re-uploaded it and within a month the video has 68K views, the original video has just over 1k views on 7 months. of the 26 videos on this channel, 19 are mine and I am pretty sure the other 7 are taken from somebody else's account. it's a similar story with the rest of this channel's content, I'm trying to get the videos removed but because they mirrored the video before re-uploading RUclips's Automated system does not pick up that the content is stolen. Plus all my videos get demonetised as they are uploading but the content contains the same sort of material that is all over the platform without any restrictions, I'm writing this from my other channel because I am currently on a week's suspension for a strike and this time I was actually given a screen grab and timestamp and there is nothing out of the ordinary at that time in the video. You say RUclips doesn't know who I am, I wish that was the case because somebody there has it in for me and they have Mary Whitehouse checking my content while other channels have Russell Brand giving their videos the once over.
interesting video guys - I recently started using the tools and have seen big changes in visitors - daily ideas can help, and currently using the optimise function to revisit old stuff to revamp things, especially the thumbnails. The "scores" generated for each is very useful and once changes are made, clicking publish to update the channel is so helpful
The worst thing about a newbie is that you get literally O views. It simply means, if yt doesn’t have any data from your videos, it wouldn't get recommended AT ALL.
I uploaded a video that I got feedback on that it was decent.. thumbnail was decent etc.. after a week it had 42 impressions with a 5.6% CTR.. After 2 weeks it had 200 impressions.. Why would a video get so low impressions but have a half decent ctr?
I think its because they don't know who tho share the video with it happend to me alot i have made a 1/10 video and still not much views the more video's you make the better
@@Tblegocreator that makes sense.. considering it used to be a gaming channel until I pivoted in February.. my old audience is dropping off and because they aren’t watching my new stuff it’s probably hurting
Funny enough everything Iv learnt from you guys are slowly growing my channel. I yet to have the “break through video” but I know I need to work for that. Have a lot planned and up my sleeves. But in regards to growth? I’m growing a lot quicker than I ever have. And my videos are finally doing well, I have the odd one that doesn’t, but it’s all about learning what works well and what doesn’t. So thank you for the knowledge 😊
"Are you making videos for RUclips hoping an audience will be provided or do you make videos for an audience that can then find you via RUclips?" Thats my take away from this.
I started making my videos out of curiosity... The amount of tools out there are unbelievable and I can't wait to try as soon as I find them! Of course I would love to be monetized, most of us would innit?, for something that I love to do and for the kind of content I make, being one of the subjects I'm interested in the most. It's so great to watch, learn and put in practice some of the advice you give. Thank you for sharing with us!
I appreciate when creators remind me to like. Sometimes I’m so compelled by the content, I forget to like. I wish RUclips made it easier to like. Most people don’t click the like no matter how good the video is🤷🏽♂️
@@prettytopia Mostly, yes. the video made very clear that we should not bother asking people to like and subscribe so I'm considering cutting that from my videos. I respect their perspective and I'm here to learn. To be honest, yes, I proactively like most of the videos I watch to support the community of creators. Unless the video was a disaster, until very recently, I did my best to click the like button. Yes, every time. I recently noticed that my analytics kept track of my liked videos which are now over 4000 so I thought, maybe I should start being a bit more discerning and only like those I REALLY like. You'll notice on my VERY new video series, I try to spread love and light, but I'm finding that the negativity sells at a much faster rate. Still, I'm sticking to the love.
Truth is the truth. Repeating yourself? Well, I have seen many cat videos getting millions of views in a short time, tbh, yes, the cats are repeating their daily lifes. Facts.
She looks so blissfully stoned and I'm all here for it, her energy is so light and great lol keep it up guys, I'll take all your advice if no one else wants it!
Your content isn't bad. Many successful RUclips creators may not have experienced what you are going through. while they cant understand what you are going though they are not wrong about shadow bans, it doesn't really exist. What you're experiencing is quite common. Platforms like RUclips tend to provide extra exposure during the first month or two to encourage creators to engage more deeply. After that initial boost, it's typical for impressions and views to drop significantly, leading to feelings of frustration as if someone is working against you. However, this is just the platform's way of keeping you motivated to continue creating content and not leaving after the first uploads. The good news is that if you received positive feedback early on, it means you just need to keep pushing for a longer period to reach your goals, as RUclips won't offer those extra impressions any longer than that.
I've had shorts that were up for weeks without any impressions. That is literally the definition of a shadow ban to me. Other videos after that one did well but these ones did not even get the chance to be a bad video. Nobody ever got them pushed to their feed.
Just a quick point: sometimes videos can be flagged as unsuitable for all and vanish under Restricted Mode. I guess most adults run with RM off as it seems to be for borderline NSFW like bikinis or zombies, for example. But they don't tell you this. Weird thing is my most viewed vids vanish with RM on so I dont know how big a deal it is unless, like I say, it's a kid account or maybe a work-related restriction.
Videos do get restricted if YT system flags them even if they are SFW. For some reason it's not being addressed by VidIQ or others, but it's a thing. I'd normally get the same amount of views, but when restricted I get no reach whatsoever.
@@LastCartoonHero now that's interesting. I have 14 videos IIRC and about 8 don't show up in Restricted Mode. Ironically they're probably the most viewed of all my videos... Maybe it's a niche thing? I do trailers for fake 1980s horror/sci-fi movies so maybe the people who like that stuff fall into an audience segment where it doesn't matter.
@@NevermadeMovies When GTA 6 trailer dropped I made a drawing short and that got restricted, perhaps due to bikini bottom. Definitely YT algo is sensitive about anything even remotely close to NSFW, especially when it comes to not establish small channels.
@@LastCartoonHero as somebody with young kids in the house I can understand ensuring they don't see content that's not suitable (although it's quite shocking some of the stuff that passes as kid-friendly when it's clearly not) but my annoyance is they don't indicate it's being censored unless you go look. Age Restricted content shows up as such, so why not this?
I've seen in real time how my video views drop. I'm not an expert on math granted but how does that happen if shadowbanning doesn't exist? I don't actually care whether my videos suck or not but this stuff does happen if you talk about certain touchy sub💉ects. I'm an adult. They may not censor you outright because it would be too obvious but instead they do other things.
thing is, when I started, I went for a week without any views but each post was different. What wasn't different, were the descriptions and hashtags and tags I was using. So I went back, deleted all the tags and hashtags and changed the description and almost instantly I started getting views. This was after researching about shadow banning on RUclips. Get what you're saying, but this makes me think there are certain reasons for shadow banning?
Loving the connection and the experiences you give that I can relate as a content creator. Keep up the good work, you'll get there with hard work, effort, consistency and time!
I just got monetised and VIDIQ ive been following you and listening to advice from you guys! I had 500 subscribers about a month ago when i joined your livechat and a month later i now have 1090 subscribers and i just got monetised today so thank you very much!
@@FactualFunFactory The real work starts now, its important to do good videos. I reckon when you get to 100 your stunned and it motivates you. i was shocked my subscribers just kept going up! Keep going....
I'm glad to know shadow banning is not something to worry about on here at least. That Ai thumbnail tip I might give a try. Also, the advice helps a lot so thank you for making these videos! ~*yes*~ c:
I have been watching these "how to" and "what not to do" videos to try and grow my Travel Channel. This video got me to click again, but it definitly is the same as the rest of their content. I guess it works to be repetitive.

You should make a video eating peanut butter it would go viral🤑🤑🤑
Well guys, when beginner youtubers speak about shadowban they mean SHORTS. Because usually we get a spike of impressions/views after around 6 to 12 hours after the initial upload. And it happens for EVERY short but all of a sudden youtube stops doing that and you get 5 views total. It continues to happen for next # of shorts. I do know a lot of beginners who faced that.
That impression spike is so real. After like 5 hours my video or short gets a HUGE spike. If that doesn't happen the video only gets a few hundred views max. I have heard that this becomes more consistent as your channel grows.

Crunchy. Of course.
Brutal and yet very funny😂. One thing that is hard for self-assured people to grasp about RUclips is that because the platform is so saturated now it takes A LOT of hard work to stand out and create an audience. Much more than it did 10 or even 5 years ago. I'm not super viral but I have made great progress on my channel because of the advice here. Good job guys!
Yes I agree It does take a lot of hard work to create an audience.
My biggest challenge I think is: The type of content I create is results based. What do I mean? I scratch lottery tickets. If I don't win on a scratch ticket, it feels like an automatic failed videos before i even get started. I have over 3600 subscribers but I only have 1200 watch hours. My shorts do very well sometimes. Should I separate my videos. (Shorts/Longform) Should I have a channel just for shorts and a separate channel just for Longform Videos?
Subscribed, just keep putting out your stuff
just don’t do shorts tbh
Just be open minded and willing to learn from anything and anyone, not just from RUclips. I always look at daily life, in general, and use anything I see or hear and reinvest any learning moments into my career as a video content creator.
Just started my RUclips journey yesterday! Can’t wait to grow & learn to make creative content
Cool
Good luck. 🙌
All the best :)
Have fun burning out and getting no impressions😃🔫
Don't be too excited lol you'll learn the truth soon YT isn't as easy as it seems and these channels make it sound like
I don't discriminate when it comes to peanut butter. All peanut butter deserves love.
Lol😂
You are querky.
That’s so true people don’t care until they know you, but this is normal. I mean they have to trust you and believe that you’re real and honest. It’s so much work and sometimes even your platform is not always right. I tested it many times with thumbnail and title but no results. For beginners is actually not bad but it still need to be improved! I learned a lot from you guys 🙏🏼♥️☮️
Just be careful of getting copyright strikes because account will be restricted for 90 days and every single new video you make will get very limited views.
Great advice 👍🏼
really is it 90 days ? , for one strike, is that on the RUclips help page , might explain a few things.
@@Mrbeescifi yes is 90 days
My biggest issue is getting so involved in the content I forget a call for action 😂 I think people forget the algorithm is trying to find your audience and it takes time. The buy product is it drives your retention and CTR down when first getting started. This is my second channel, after 3 weeks I have 8k views 👍🏼and 68 subscribers 👎🏼. Its a process
The Community guidelines are so vague that they can be interpreted almost anyway they want. That is by design don't kid yourself.
So true. There's also some rules not included in the guidelines
Yes you are right.
And youtube most certainly shadowban comments. So it wouldn't even be surprising if they do the same with channels
I know of one video about the Ten Commandments that was RESTRICTED as being unsuitable for young people. Straight out of the Bible. But even after appeal, the YT police said it did not meet their "guidelines" so maintained the restriction. Eye roll.
I have crossed major hurdles on my channel by watching you guys! Thanks so much for all you do! Creamy PB please!!
Always creamy PB
Smooth, can't ever see the point of Crunchy.
Just one question... why?
I just hope my content reaches everyone throughout RUclips. Support is what I need!
RUclips is hard work, requires a lot of brain work, and takes time you likely don't have or don't want to spend. You may end up throwing 8 hours a day at your channel for little to no results for years. This happened to me, however the hard work paid off eventually and resulted in channel growth and income. The truth is there's two types of people in the world: people who try hard and do their best, and people who don't. Even people who try hard and do their best will struggle on RUclips. Those people may struggle more actually because they are used to the format of work hard and get good results. It may be hard for those type of people to work hard and not get the good results. If that's you just focus on providing value to your audience. Whether that's entertainment if you are very entertaining or it's providing information people need in a format that is easy to digest. OK carry on soldiers. And don't be afraid to change your video title and thumbnail if they don't perform.
Ain't no way you're making living off YT 💀
Thanks for motivation BTW, even though you still may not as sucessful...
Thanks for the most honest comment man, I only started to grow more the past 3 months since Iv spent more time actually hammering down on things. But you are right, so far it’s taken alot of time for me, but I’m growing now none the less. Slowly but surly. I just think everything takes time, what’s the point in planting a seed? And it growing over night. Fast success builds ego, slow success builds character. I love that saying. And it’s so true ❤🙏
@@ShanePlaysTV
Solid
I think the main point of this video is to always take your viewer in to account. Think if you saw your video with your thumbnail would you click it? You cant get an audience out of nothing.
People don’t understand that you shouldn’t do RUclips if you don’t enjoy making videos.
If your only goal is to make money or become famous, it’ll most likely never happen.
If your only goal is to create fun content for yourself and your friends, then even if you never get a single dollar or follower, you’ll never regret making videos.
Great comment. That's exactly how I run my mini channel. As long as I enjoy what I've produced and get even a single comment to say someone has liked it too it's worth it. I guess it depends what you are trying to achieve. I rather produce than consume.
very helpful
I agree that spending time on a thumbnail is important, but I haven't come across any data showing whether a thumbnail is the main reason why someone decides to click on or skip a video.
It's never about YT algo or anything its a about your luck and when its your time to shine really thats what Im thinking.
2:17 exactly that's why they don't care about small channel struggling because the big channel are the priority for them like Mrbeast...
they have another video talking about this actually, according to them, the algorithm doesnt discriminate, the whole goal of it is to entertain the viewer
@@masterjskingdom Come on is common sense right, why would they wanna help random small creator when the big creator are here to stay, and they are going to help small creator only when they need a new one.
I liked it when you reminded me! Sometimes I do need a reminder
Like anything else in life, it’s about consistency and improvement. When you get a new job, you don’t know anything about it. But when you show up to work everyday and learn more, you getter better at your job. The same rules apply to RUclips. The same rules apply to life in general .
Totally agree with you. It's been the way I've gotten ahead with anything I've started 😀
Your advise is absolute truth, my videos aren't that great yet, but the are better than when i started. It's a learning process and there is a lot to learn.
I absolutely love being a small creator. Being new to the world is exciting. Theres so much room for expermentation to find your style and all. After hitting 500 subs and beyond, there are so many ways my life improved. Good luck to all new creators. Don't give up
Almost at 1000 :)
People give up cause they waiting to blow up. SOO much pleasure in the beginning stages. You know that feeling when you are on a plane to your vacation destination. Excited to explore and experience.It's like that.
I started a new RUclips channel and i am loving what i do and yes its not easy and i do have help from others who are better at certain things and make it work.. If you are passionate about something and you go for it you will succeed 1000 times over..
Honestly I'm glad a lot of people like my content and or watch it. It's the finding them and or them finding me that is tricky.
I just recently hit 800 subscriber's in under a year.
Watch hours are the nightmare for me.
I didn't make long videos before for long form content b until I made a poll asking if people were ok with longer videos.
My subscribers were ok with that, and i realized my worst mistake was not making long form stuff before...
Sorry for the novel.
Anyway, I'm glad people watcg a lot of what i post and i hope i can make better stuff soon.
I do ask for subscribes a lot, and i hope it helps.
As I Completely Noticed It's Not Easy To Build Your Own Channel, Is Hard But will be Worth it in the long run to everyone do not give up and Keep Pushing 💪🏾 because it gets better time from time.
THANKY YOU! I honestly hate all the softball "just keep going buddy!" advice.
just started this channel but growth consists of consistency with a touch of luck but consistency will always get you there for sure
Thanks guys... Your tips have always been a big help to me, and my channel wouldn't be what it is today without them. Love yas!
I hit my first bump in the road with my channel (of many I'm sure) but I managed an upload last week and I'm energised and cooking up my next idea. Gone back to basics and I'm determined to try and make my next upload the best one yet :)
To anyone in the dip that I was in the last few weeks, just do what you need to do. Whether that's continuing on, taking a break or going back to basics, you've got this! :)
I’ve been doing this for 3 months now and loving the journey but unfortunately some of my best videos just don’t get as many views and that’s just how it is. Lucky I enjoy making cinematic vlogs or this would be really hard to stomach ❤
You have a good niche and doing pretty good for 3 months. You’re definitely on the come up. You just got a sub from me. Keep going 💯
@@Justcallmemike25 thanks so much! just had a look at your channel. all that driving! I',m sure you see some of the coolest most cinematic locations on your travels!
@@NoHomage yea I see a lot of cool stuff. But it’s all through the windshield. Wish I had time to enjoy it more. It’s more like see it, take a note of it, and hope I can get back and see it for real one day lol.
Hi! Just started the journey on YT. It does suck to be a a small channel but I am going to keep it up for one full year! Thank you for all the help.❤
Smooth. Great brutal truths also :D It was a hard truth for me to finally accept that our RUclips genre is sooo saturated. We just keep grinding and hoping to bust out any day now. Lol If nothing else, we have great video storage for all of our travel memories🤩
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? This may be an unpopular opinion, lol, but I like both. It depends on my mood. Or if I'm making cookies. Though I don't have a baking channel, but a sewing channel, I sometimes insert baking montages.
I know it's hard for a newbie creators, including myself too. A lot of challenges, struggles, and tears also. But, don't be worry as long you're keep being consistent, patient, and enjoying your work, nothing is impossible. I'm still on my way 336 subscribers, and hopefully still going strong. Don't give up everyone & keep enjoying being a Content Creator 💪
From a viewer's perspective. About thumbnails and titles. I will not click on one that looks spammy. Example showing horrific unbelievable over-the-top weather scenes. Really!? If it doesn't look authentic and too wild to be believed then I bypass it. The other is when I find out after clicking on the video that nothing in the title pertains to the content in the video I'll thumb down it. The third is when some random channel with a vague name shows videos that I know I have seen somewhere else.
Subscribed to your channel
Exactly lol all these new "RUclips advice" channels basically copying vidiq's thumbnails 😂
It is widely recognized that RUclips's primary goal is to serve its viewers. The platform's algorithm prioritizes content that attracts a significant audience, resulting in increased impressions and exposure to a broader demographic. While content creators provide the videos, it is ultimately the viewers who generate revenue through their engagement and interactions with the content and the advertisers.
Peanut butter: smooth/creamy. (Watch the entire video.) ♥️😎👍
It's really hard for small youtubers like me, but the end will be worth it
Oh, worth ? youtube just give a grave, that'all
Thumbnails are HARD. I thought I did really well on my last one but even after 100 videos I still don't get it. I might need to seriously outsource this.
Just keep it simple, use 3 elements max, Montserrat Bold font. If you're in it with your head, outline it.
You have almost 2.5k subs, that's awesome
@@TheRouletteGrinderThank you for the tips. I was looking for a good font as well. Thanks a bunch. 🙏
@@TheRouletteGrinder Thanks. I am so grateful for each and every subscriber. I can't believe I have that many. It really blows my mind. Thankful.
I checked out your channel. Send me some photos and what the video is about. I will make a few for you to review and use. No charge - I don't do thumbnails for a living. You can contact me by email using the link in the Creative Cooking channel description.
I'm so allergic to peanut butter _:D
but, I can say my mistake in my previous channel, was: I was so focused on what is NOT on youtube, and I was trying to make that, that I have totally forgot what I like and why I've made that channel that I got just exuhsted.
People saying you keep talking about the same stuff over and over again, which is true, forget that there are always new viewers who haven't heard that information yet. If you have you are not supposed to keep watching the same advice over and over again... maybe it's a sign you are not getting it.
Definitely smooth. I’d love some brutal truth. Thanks for another great video.
Being a youtuber is the hardest thing ive ever done but its really fulfilling. Jenn you are the best coach but peanut butter should only be smooth. 😅
The shadow banning bit is just straight up, gaslighting your audience.
so I agree with you, 100%, but if you were challenged on this one, what example of evidence would you cite?
Shadow banned and restricted are very different
@@Spacemarine658 yes they should change it to that you tube doesn't shadow ban, but they do restrict you, with limited impression to 0, lots more evidence around that topic.
@@Mrbeescifi source all the "evidence" I've seen has been clearly restricted content
@@Spacemarine658 there is also another apparent issue with current subscribers and the way the algorithm tests content with them, tanking most of your videos before they even get a chance out in the wild, gathering evidence currently, just got to get past the wall of AI chat bots at you tube support.
This is the first time tuning in to watch this duo on VidIQ. Love them! !Great advice and love their positivity and smiles. Just what I needed to watch whilst having a coffee. Thanks for the tips, folks....And by the way.....Definitely CRUNCHY peanut butter is the best! :))
I had a strange thing happen. I dropped a video Friday night, it was at about 100 views within a hour, I went to bed after reading the comments on the video and responding to them. Also had 156% click through rate and high view duration. I woke up the next morning and my views were deleted. No, I never ever, ever buy views (would be a waste of money and wouldn’t do anything for me anyway). The comments were legit with most being returning viewers so I have no idea what happened. My other channel pops off though yet this one has been struggling since February. 🤷♂️
Be yourself is the best advice this video gives. Dreams come true everyone!! Best of luck!
Thanks for the amazing advice! Would you ever do a video on if it's smart to do longform and shorts on the same channel or if you should make 2 different channels 1 for shorts and 1 for longform content
if you guys don't believe in "shadow banning" or similar, explain this, there is a channel that has taken several videos of mine and downloaded them so they went from the original 4K video to 1440, they then re-uploaded it and within a month the video has 68K views, the original video has just over 1k views on 7 months. of the 26 videos on this channel, 19 are mine and I am pretty sure the other 7 are taken from somebody else's account. it's a similar story with the rest of this channel's content, I'm trying to get the videos removed but because they mirrored the video before re-uploading RUclips's Automated system does not pick up that the content is stolen. Plus all my videos get demonetised as they are uploading but the content contains the same sort of material that is all over the platform without any restrictions, I'm writing this from my other channel because I am currently on a week's suspension for a strike and this time I was actually given a screen grab and timestamp and there is nothing out of the ordinary at that time in the video. You say RUclips doesn't know who I am, I wish that was the case because somebody there has it in for me and they have Mary Whitehouse checking my content while other channels have Russell Brand giving their videos the once over.
interesting video guys - I recently started using the tools and have seen big changes in visitors - daily ideas can help, and currently using the optimise function to revisit old stuff to revamp things, especially the thumbnails. The "scores" generated for each is very useful and once changes are made, clicking publish to update the channel is so helpful
RUclips truth! Not Everyone can Do YT.... and If you want it.
You need to TRY and dont complain
Chunky PB do be the best imo xD
Best Video I Q I've seen yet, more authentic and down to earth, Great Job! Bravo!!!
The worst thing about a newbie is that you get literally O views. It simply means, if yt doesn’t have any data from your videos, it wouldn't get recommended AT ALL.
I uploaded a video that I got feedback on that it was decent.. thumbnail was decent etc.. after a week it had 42 impressions with a 5.6% CTR..
After 2 weeks it had 200 impressions..
Why would a video get so low impressions but have a half decent ctr?
I think its because they don't know who tho share the video with it happend to me alot i have made a 1/10 video and still not much views the more video's you make the better
@@Tblegocreator that makes sense.. considering it used to be a gaming channel until I pivoted in February.. my old audience is dropping off and because they aren’t watching my new stuff it’s probably hurting
Crunchy! Without peanuts it ain’t peanut butter.
That’s right, creamy peanut butter is made without peanuts.
Great video guy's love the edit, humor and just flat our honesty! Both Crunchy & Smooth I love PB!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Funny enough everything Iv learnt from you guys are slowly growing my channel. I yet to have the “break through video” but I know I need to work for that. Have a lot planned and up my sleeves. But in regards to growth? I’m growing a lot quicker than I ever have. And my videos are finally doing well, I have the odd one that doesn’t, but it’s all about learning what works well and what doesn’t. So thank you for the knowledge 😊
Shadow banning exists in any social platform but for political reasons; here on youtube.
More conspiracy rubbish
"Are you making videos for RUclips hoping an audience will be provided or do you make videos for an audience that can then find you via RUclips?" Thats my take away from this.
I started making my videos out of curiosity... The amount of tools out there are unbelievable and I can't wait to try as soon as I find them! Of course I would love to be monetized, most of us would innit?, for something that I love to do and for the kind of content I make, being one of the subjects I'm interested in the most. It's so great to watch, learn and put in practice some of the advice you give. Thank you for sharing with us!
I appreciate when creators remind me to like. Sometimes I’m so compelled by the content, I forget to like. I wish RUclips made it easier to like. Most people don’t click the like no matter how good the video is🤷🏽♂️
Do you like every single video you've watched? C'mon, be realistic.
@@prettytopia Mostly, yes. the video made very clear that we should not bother asking people to like and subscribe so I'm considering cutting that from my videos. I respect their perspective and I'm here to learn. To be honest, yes, I proactively like most of the videos I watch to support the community of creators. Unless the video was a disaster, until very recently, I did my best to click the like button. Yes, every time. I recently noticed that my analytics kept track of my liked videos which are now over 4000 so I thought, maybe I should start being a bit more discerning and only like those I REALLY like. You'll notice on my VERY new video series, I try to spread love and light, but I'm finding that the negativity sells at a much faster rate. Still, I'm sticking to the love.
@@TheAubreyLynch good for you then. I only like videos that were so good I had to save them for later (by storing them on the Liked playlist)
@@prettytopia Fair enough! Sounds like I need to incorporate your philosophy. I'm leaning more that way these days. lol. Be well.
Travis wearing his Soundcore Q10's always makes me smile.
Truth is the truth. Repeating yourself? Well, I have seen many cat videos getting millions of views in a short time, tbh, yes, the cats are repeating their daily lifes. Facts.
She looks so blissfully stoned and I'm all here for it, her energy is so light and great lol keep it up guys, I'll take all your advice if no one else wants it!
One question, how does an old man living in a bus or camper get so many views of him just fixing breakfast? No it's not a cooking channel.
It’s a different lifestyle from what many people have, and many pursue it or are at least interested in it because of its difference.
Great level contact keep it up. You’re smart. Your videos are helpful. Thank you.
Crunchy or smooth. I’m not picky.
😂😂😂
Main reasons I finished because don't have those specific skills plus I'm always busy with school but I've now got other interests
Your content isn't bad. Many successful RUclips creators may not have experienced what you are going through. while they cant understand what you are going though they are not wrong about shadow bans, it doesn't really exist.
What you're experiencing is quite common. Platforms like RUclips tend to provide extra exposure during the first month or two to encourage creators to engage more deeply. After that initial boost, it's typical for impressions and views to drop significantly, leading to feelings of frustration as if someone is working against you. However, this is just the platform's way of keeping you motivated to continue creating content and not leaving after the first uploads. The good news is that if you received positive feedback early on, it means you just need to keep pushing for a longer period to reach your goals, as RUclips won't offer those extra impressions any longer than that.
I've had shorts that were up for weeks without any impressions. That is literally the definition of a shadow ban to me.
Other videos after that one did well but these ones did not even get the chance to be a bad video. Nobody ever got them pushed to their feed.
Just a quick point: sometimes videos can be flagged as unsuitable for all and vanish under Restricted Mode. I guess most adults run with RM off as it seems to be for borderline NSFW like bikinis or zombies, for example. But they don't tell you this. Weird thing is my most viewed vids vanish with RM on so I dont know how big a deal it is unless, like I say, it's a kid account or maybe a work-related restriction.
Videos do get restricted if YT system flags them even if they are SFW. For some reason it's not being addressed by VidIQ or others, but it's a thing. I'd normally get the same amount of views, but when restricted I get no reach whatsoever.
@@LastCartoonHero now that's interesting. I have 14 videos IIRC and about 8 don't show up in Restricted Mode. Ironically they're probably the most viewed of all my videos...
Maybe it's a niche thing? I do trailers for fake 1980s horror/sci-fi movies so maybe the people who like that stuff fall into an audience segment where it doesn't matter.
@@NevermadeMovies When GTA 6 trailer dropped I made a drawing short and that got restricted, perhaps due to bikini bottom. Definitely YT algo is sensitive about anything even remotely close to NSFW, especially when it comes to not establish small channels.
@@LastCartoonHero as somebody with young kids in the house I can understand ensuring they don't see content that's not suitable (although it's quite shocking some of the stuff that passes as kid-friendly when it's clearly not) but my annoyance is they don't indicate it's being censored unless you go look. Age Restricted content shows up as such, so why not this?
I've seen in real time how my video views drop.
I'm not an expert on math granted but how does that happen if shadowbanning doesn't exist?
I don't actually care whether my videos suck or not but this stuff does happen if you talk about certain touchy sub💉ects. I'm an adult. They may not censor you outright because it would be too obvious but instead they do other things.
thing is, when I started, I went for a week without any views but each post was different. What wasn't different, were the descriptions and hashtags and tags I was using. So I went back, deleted all the tags and hashtags and changed the description and almost instantly I started getting views. This was after researching about shadow banning on RUclips.
Get what you're saying, but this makes me think there are certain reasons for shadow banning?
Loving the connection and the experiences you give that I can relate as a content creator. Keep up the good work, you'll get there with hard work, effort, consistency and time!
I love that Jenn always looks so happy :D
Her smile is amazing!
Good tips and tricks :)
I don't eat peanut butter.

Saying people’s content isn’t good because they don’t have views is a very ignorant thing to say.

Both crunchy and smooth are just as good )
Crunchy for sandwiches; smooth for homemade ice cream. Thanks for this video!
