Success on RUclips begins with a single video, a single subscriber, and an unyielding passion. Keep creating, keep learning, and remember, every great channel started as a small one.
If you don’t think a video is good then you should probably delete it But if you already know it’s bad then don’t post it or if u already did post it private it
3:03 just to clarify, clickbaiting and misleading are 2 completely different things. By in-large, clickbait is more than okay, and the best way to engage new viewers who don't already watch your content. However, misleading is NEVER okay, the content must at least allign (like said in the video), with the title and thumbnail. But slightly exaggerating to "bait people to click" is more than okay, as long as what's shown in the thumbnail is always shown in the video itself. Essentially what you said about curiosity, it's just the word "clickbait" gets a bad rep. Thanks for all the tips! Will be studying this video for a while. 💙
My daughter wants to start making videos on RUclips, we've started to watch this channel recently and I feel it has really helped us to get the basics! We got the camera out for the first time today, thank you for helping my daughter to take the first step
@@FamilyFirstFighter Its more about testing and feeling the thumbnail out. Obv anyone can go and replicate one easily. From brainstorming to finalizing a thumbnail - easily 3 hours.
Our shorts, videos, and livestreams are all doing so much better thanks to these videos. I didn’t know if we’d hit 100 subscribers in our first year, but we just passed 250 in under half a year. Thanks for all the hard work and great advice!
Thanks for always being there, without you, my RUclips videos would still be the same as last year = not entertaining! also great luck to the person reading this.
I have watched too many tips on how to grow and how to become a good content creator, but THIS? this is absolutely a GEM CONTENT for me!!!! GENUINE!! THANK YOU!!!
This beginner's guide to RUclips for small channels is exactly what I needed. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive resource, it's super helpful!
Started my channel 3 years ago. I was not consistent for 2 years. But now I went back have been trying to follow all this rules bu My channel is a struggling but no room to give up. I will keep going. 26 subscribers but no losing hope. One day I will get more. Am learning each day to improve the content. Onwards and upwards 💃💃
How you opened the video qualifies it for being for a lot of creators. Most of us are beginners, small or stuck. I fit 2 of the 3. Always here to learn.
Probably one of THE MOST valuable videos I've watched on youtube. Started posting to my channel in the beginning of December 2023 with some scuba content, and have been thinking of the direction I want to go in, and this has been INCREDIBLY helpful in choosing my direction and approach. Thank you x100
Keeping a Positive attitude and Supporting a community, No matter the circumstances. The more love you put into your content, The more genuine it will feel for the Audience.
I entirely grew my channel with shorts, and am suffering because of it….my long term content is so far behind my short form. So I definitely needed this!
Great that you mention bad audio is distracting and that you illustrate your point so clearly! We notice this a lot in our niche. Bad audio is more often a reason for us to click away than dull visuals. I subscribed and wondered if you have any video's on growing a channel that focuses on audio rather than visuals and if this is at all possible on an image-driven platform. And if not, how to create the right (amount of) supportive visuals without having to invest a ton in graphic designers.
Thanks for the tips. We are a new channel trying to get to 1,000 subscribers like so many others. It seems like a daunting task to get the required subscribers and watch hours. But we will keep trying.
Love how you decided on more content useful to small channels!! Often forgotten, but that's how we all start. (Unfortunately it seems it's also where it ends for us because youtube now flags all our videos for containing minors which means comments get turned off. That should happen just once, but happens up to 10 times per video. It should also not affect how the algorithm treats the video, but in reality it means the video gets (near) zero impressions, doesn't even show up on the feed of your subscribers!. Huge bug in youtube that's basically just completely killed my channel right now)
I'm gonna save this one for sure. I just watched first half and every advice is pure gold. It's great to have this sort of all-in-one videos to share with other fellow creators who might need guidance when starting. Keep the good work!
Thanks a lot for this content guys! I have been struggling to reach 1 000 subs for over 2 years and thanks to you I still haven't given up. You gave me so much hope and I am sure I will make it. Never give up! 💪
This is great advice on many levels Rob. For me, lately I've been using one of the thumbnails that RUclips selects because I get about the same amount of views whether or not I create a custom thumbnail. Why should I spend 30 minutes or more making a custom thumbnail when it doesn't improve my view counts or help increase my subscriber count? It doesn't matter because I'm winding down my tenure as a content creator. I recently purchased a condo and look at this point in my life as like starting a new chapter. When a new chapter starts then the previous chapter must close and as such my time as a content creator is nearing its end. It's been fun, challenging, and somewhat rewarding but in the end I just don't have what it takes to do this anymore. It takes a tremendous amount of time, passion, energy, creativity, resources, and motivation to make content that is going to resonate with a particular audience and I've run out of them all. I wish you all the best of luck on you RUclips journey.
You guys are so informative and kind to share all this tips, it's soo helpful for small channels (like mine 😅), it's like learning the rules of a game! Cheers to you and thank you!
I just started my own music channel, original music all recorded at home, with limited resources. I dont know a lot about how y.t actually works, this vid is brilliant, thank you.
To the incredible person reading this, know that your dreams are like stars in the night sky - they may seem distant, but they shine just for you. Embrace every challenge as a stepping stone toward your aspirations. When the path gets tough, remember why you started. Keep believing in yourself and taking one step at a time. Your journey is as unique as you are, and greatness awaits those who persist. Keep going, and your dreams will become your reality! 🌟💪🚀
I do appreciate what you have said, but, I have over 800 videos and 1300 subs. 6 years. Granted the last 3 were better content, everyday trying to learn more, but so so discouraged because I cannot work, and I love my channel and what I do but my heart is breaking. I guess I'm just not creative enough or just too dumb. I don't know. What I do know is that I love creating content and I just wish I could get even a little recognition for it. 😢
@Brigitte_Cantin I feel you 100%. I don't know anything about makeup, but I do know you make some good/helpful content from what I've seen. I just subscribed, and I wish you success, from one small channel to another.
Where is the notification bell? It used to be with the like and subscribe buttons, I even went to your channel and couldn’t see it? Excellent information, thank you!
Daaaaamn. Mate. By the end of this video I found myself clicking subscribe. I resisted the urge to subscribe which convinced me to actually subscribe. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions in literally 1 second. Great work mate.
Hello, I am interested in these ideas, but for the first channel, which one do you think is the best choice and will grow faster and easier? 1Travel and travel guide 2 technology, 3 fitness and health and food and healthy lifestyle, 4 luxury
Very well done! Thank you!!! You packed it with a lot of great ideas and advice. Thank you. Also your delivery style was easy understand. You explained everything very well. I'm ready to jump in and start this youtube channel.
I've just randomly stumbled upon these videos (and I don't have a channel I just have 1 random video I uploaded years ago haha) and now after seeing these I want to start my own channel. So now, I'm loading up on helpful tips from this channel BEFORE uploading my first actual video.
I have a question 🙋🏻. Is it too ealry to hire a editor? Just to bump up the quailty of my videos? I have the money but I don’t know if it will help or hinder me in the long run! Please let me know!
Thank you so much for the tips, this video is absolute gold. I'm starting to get serious about trying to grow on RUclips and I've got 50 subscribers at the moment, hopefully by the next time I check in that number will be higher!
VidIQ team. I would like to personally thank you for being so helpful and charitable sharing your experience. I have binged your videos for days (wife is jealous of the attention I have given your channel lol) but seriously just checked all the boxes for your suggestions for shorts and bam, my views are up again.❤ Thanks VidIQ for being the true goats for helping small channels like mine. 🎉

Great comment and quite motivational! Thanks and good luck on your journey💯
Are you the official spokesperson for vidIQ?
Absolutely
Perfectly said. Thank you.
If you don’t think a video is good then you should probably delete it
But if you already know it’s bad then don’t post it or if u already did post it private it
It took me more than one hour to watch a 33 min video, kept pausing to write down ideas. Thanks a lot for such an incredible guide.
Same😁
Same here! Im in danger of overthinking!
Ditto 😅

believe it or not, I spend 2-3 hours on each thumbnail. I'd love to hire someone to make them though!
You can hire me. Lol. Just saying!
You have great thumbnails but 2-3 hours? I can replicate that in 5 minutes on a phone. Love your style tho.
these thumbnaild are easy to make
I spend a long time studying and trying diff versions of thumbnails too. Good to know big channels do too! 😄

Good luck to us all…remember it will happen if you keep going…dont quit…youre building youre dream
hopefully i transfer these to my channel! i’ll definitely be grinding
Your channel is my go-to when I have questions about attracting an audience to my channel. This video is stuffed with so much valuable info. Thanks!
Can you make one of these for big channels? There's just not a lot out there for us and I feel we could always use constructive criticism
Thanks for the effort you put to help other channels! I am about to hit 200 lovely subscribers, keeping the grind.
That's awesome! Keep growing!
