This is your official "get out of youtube jail free" card! 🎉😂
Here’s the group: radicalyt.com/
Excited to see you there!
at last.... wondered what happened to this video :D
been waiting
Wow haha you have me laughing so hard at the $299 and the $749
This video was very good.
@@ODwaalO no same
I feel like your channel is the only channel out there who knows what it's like to be a small channel in 2024. Your tips have helped me a lot in the past few months!
Happy to help! Thank you 🙏
No cap, hes good
I agree!!
Something I’ve noticed (as a small creator) that’s way different than last year with making content is that a video needs to hit 100 views within a certain amount of time for it to be shown to more people.
That's interesting. I know last year on VIDIQ's coaching, they said they found timing of posting didn't really matter and that the 24 hour view and 7 day view ended up the same. However, I'm curious if we do need to ensure we post at a time we are most likely to get 100 views in a short time? I'm a very small channel (~540 subs)
Out of all the channels I watch about growing on RUclips, yours is absolutely the most helpful. You ask questions that really make me think about the content I'm making, and I really appreciate how genuine and real you are with the information you provide. A huge, HUGE thank you, for all your efforts! ☀
Just recently, I got out of Algorithm jail and broke free.
How did you escape youtube jail?
Congrats to you cos men am stoked
I’m stuck on the jail currently…
@@jollyjames30 create viral videos
i'm very stuck, though this video enlightened me to two things that would have made our most recent likely go beyond the 1,200 it got before flatlining. Our intro could have been much better. Still very much in algorithm jail though!
Nate, my channel recently picked up and I believe I know exactly why it happened.
I was in an 'experiment' phase where I didn't really know who I was. I had a niche, but no sub-niche. Suddenly one of my videos picked up (20k views) so I decided to follow that video style and it has been going exceptionally well ever since.
RUclips has said to us in the past, "Replace the word 'Algorithm' with the word 'Audience'. So that is what I did. We need to let the audience guide us.
Thank you for all of your advice, I watch every video.
The "boop the like button" bit, is cheesy but the light heartedness of it always makes me chuckle and double check to see if I did in fact boop the like button.
Making my videos appealing with a good title and thumbnail has been my biggest weakness. And this is the 2nd video I've watched that brought this up. So inspired and am looking over what to do better.
I’ve found ChatGPT helpful. I ask it to give me the best title and video description with seo keywords for most views. Seems like it’s working better than my own titles and descriptions. I don’t think subscribers matter as much as watch time but I have received 131 subscribers in 28 days 👌🏻 Nate is the Best! and has really helped with his tips, keep listening to this Man!
Refreshed RUclips and the video showed up 25 seconds after being published feels good.
Showed up where? 🤔
I checked out your channel, Dan, and subscribed! You have a wonderful take on travel!
Some creators are SO GOOD at making thumbnails & titles that I instantly click, - but in 95%(-ish) they do NOT deliver, - and sometimes the title are even a downright lie‼️ (Even the 'big ones' do that). 😢😡
This is a huge problem indeed, I actually hoped that RUclips would abolish thumbnails, cause I assume they are totally aware of that
@@knowitintobeing Yes, - I wish youtube would actually make it possible to 'Block' channels just like a blocking on other SoMe's. I also see Big Creators who post misogyne or political views that I don't wanna see. They are fillng up my feed without me clicking on it. That should be enough to make them see that it could be good idea for them too.
Oh wow I literally dropped my phone when I saw my channel on the screen!! Thank you so much for your great advice!
What you pointed out is my exact struggle right now lol, my tutorial type of content is what seems to work and gets views as there is a demand for it but the vlog / story time content is what I truly enjoy as it allows me to be more creative. Finding a balance between the two is a nightmare.
But you’re right, I think I’ll focus on tutorial content and once I have a bigger audience I can maybe branch out to the other type again.
Thank you again for the advice, really appreciate it!! 🙏🏾
Hi Scoobz! Robin here. I'll have to check in to see how you got rid of the crickets. Here, on a dairy farm in Tasmania, I'm fighting off woodlice, & in Canberra, it was flying ants. yikes! I liked your thumbnails - do you do them yourself or give them to a graphic designer? What's working for you?
@@ScottandRobinTravel Hi Robin, I tried out a few things to catch the crickets but in the end I had to accept my new housemates lol
In regards of the thumbnails I create them myself on canva. I spend around a hour or 2 creating multiple designs and then I choose the one that stands out the most. One thing I learned over the years is playing with the saturation on your thumbnail has a big impact and when you can, try to utilise blurs
This is youtubes problem it should know how to split your themes up. Imho
Yes yes yes!!! I’ve been waiting. AND the topic is so important right now. I’ve been stuck for weeks. Can’t wait to watch ❤
Such great tips! Im so glad i found your channel because it's already making a difference! Even with a broken foot, I've found a way to keep making quality Tai Chi content and keep taking it to the next level because of your videos! Thanks Nate!
The "Boop" thing gets me every time so I dropped a Like just because it made me laugh :D Really strong approach, keep it up.
Haha glad to hear it. Thanks!
I Boop it as soon as the video starts 😂😂
hello from Gatlinburg tennessee....love this
Awesome Nate. I'll be returning to this video a lot for notes...
I've got an educational channel for business succession planning, and because I'm still learning and in my first 10 videos, I feel the need to be way too thorough on my videos (my partner even expressed early on, she felt we might get in trouble for bad tax advice because I left half a sentence out). The end result is videos that are too long, and, admittedly, dull. I have got to figure out a middle ground that works for my channel. Your videos always keep me wanting more even though they tend to be similar length.
This is a great video! I've watched several of your videos, and I really appreciate your style of delivery. Most of the, "grow your channel" videos from other channels I've seen tend to annoy me more often than they inform me or entertain me. I like how your videos never feel like heavy sales pitches and they never make me feel discouraged during the early stages of my channel.
Thanks for raising the idea of clarifying your core audience and choosing your intention. Extremely useful.
Thank you, Nate, for this very helpful guide! I will definitely take all of this advice into consideration going forward!
Nicely summarized, thanks ❤
Thank you Nate! For keeping my head in the game and not just going through the motions 🙏
All good stuff, thanks man!
Fantastic video. Nuts and bolts. Thanks, Nate. I'm binge watching your videos.
I feel so honered for getting mentioned! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
I'll deffinitly take your recommendations to use as good as I can :)
On my video you mentioned I actually forgot all the color corrections XD, which means also to light the footadge up. I never regretted a production mistake so much. But with over 50k views it's still my second best Video.
The Problem with the length is, that I kind of stick to the tutorial-Vibe, partly because I still get a lot of questions about details I eddited out even from the 36 minutes-Version. I think I'll solve that problem in the future by answering those most often asked questions by publishing a text with the answheres, instead of trying to put everything in the Video from now on! :)
I got a follow up question to the lenghth in general though: With the longer videos the Algorythm suddenly started to suggest my content more to the audiences watching from TV and PC-devices. Bevore that I got most of the traffic from mobile phones. If I look at the statistics I get the feeling that made the long videos blow up (Mobile phone views went from 350 to 1680, tv from 31 to 2230 and PC 418 to 2800). I'll deffinitly try to make them 25 minutes long max from now on, but wouldn't 17 minutes for example be a bit less appealing for the TV/PC audience, which also got a higher averadge watching time?
In any case: big THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
*sorry for the long Question, Nate ;)
Your comment warmed my heart as if it were for me🤣🤣 I’m a writer so I read and write a lot. I’m glad Nate’s videos help you too!! I’m trying to perfect my craft making music. It’s so much fun being on RUclips! Best of luck!🎉😁😆
Hi Shieldery! Looking forward to watching some of your vids. Nate mentions the dimness on a section. What program are you using? I use Davinci Resolve, and I get help from these channels - Jay Lipman and Mralextech as they are absolute gurus on video editing. If this is your platform, go into the color tab, look to the left and find a little "A" which is a link for automatic color balance. It is so fast and works so well because it analyses your photo/video (so do this in the most important part of that track, as it is the best analysis). From there, try lifting the gamma, which works like turning on a light in the room. There's other tricks, too, & the best way to do it is to go through their tutorials as they are fantastic. I especially like Lipman for color rendering. If you are using a different video editor, perhaps applying the same ideas there will work, or others here might suggest what they do. This will help you so much in the future!
@@ScottandRobinTravel thanks. usually I do all those things, but forgott it on this project. :(
Thanks for sharing your statistics, it's very interesting. My longest video was 15mins so far. I don't know your goals but I think views from TV and PC are much better audiences bc they are more serious and mature, people watch from phones just for entertainment.
Thank you for always helping out new channels such as myself!
Thanks, Nate. I do love that your advice and tips are not just specifically applied to "new" creators, but also add as a good gut check for mid-big size creators. I've finally started hitting my stride and am growing faster than I ever imagined. Took me almost a whole year to get monetized and now, in the last few months I'm picking up 3.5k subs a month and150k+ monthly views! Thank you for all that you do!
cool, and what is the name of your channel, thanks!
@@ronvalley1973 the one I’m using right now, Wrestling With Words :)
@@ronvalley1973 The same one that I commented with, Wrestling With Words :).
Thanks for another clear video. Been following you for a while and picked up some tips. The channel is growing daily, but I feel it is a bit random if I get the big numbers or not from video to video.
Hey Nate, loving your valuable content! I'm looking to book a 1:1 consultation appointment with you and can't progress into the next month on the calendar. It doesn't give me an option on multiple browsers, I'm not sure if it's based to open at the start of a month. Thanks man! Keep up the great work!
Great - thank you Nate. A simple process even I can understand....I now need to just 'do it'!
Great watch man. Nice work and breakdown!
Excellent video! Even though we have to wait a while for these to come, they are brilliant nonetheless! 😊
Thanks, I needed this today - My last few videos keep doing well-ish (2 or 3 out of 10) during the weekend and then seem to hit a wall on Mondays where YT stops giving impressions.
Thanks for the advice 😎
Hey @ThatNateBlack thank you for the video. Thats definitely helped me to make sense of whats happening with my channel. Thank you 🙏
You got my boop with the little joke hahaha great job, as always!
Nate your content is toooooooo sweeeet. thanks. subscribed to radical creators. now I just have to figure out how to apply all this information. interestingly enough, I'm taking a one week break from posting content so I can assess my channel make changes.
Thank you for your work!
Appreciated your definitions of BETTER and SATISFYING. So practical and helpful. Thank you!
These videos get and “auto-boop” - I like immediately :)
You are indeed correct on your assessment - I’ve reached the point where the volume of videos I have allows me to see “patterns” - the elements you describe are key differentiators between those videos that perform well and those that… don’t
Nate, thank you! You give excellent advice for all creators. You are sincere too. I try to apply all that you are gracious to share with us. I signed up on your newsletter. I also think your wife helps a lot behind the scenes and I appreciate you both. Russ🎥
Hey Nate, I just wanted to thank you for building content appealing to smaller creators like us. This video was informative and helpful; I look forward to seeing more!
I struggle with titles and sometimes I believe I am overthinking it. This video has good tips. Thank you!
I started to use chatgpt for it. It writes much better than me, lol
As always great stuff, Nate! Thanks for all the hard work you do to help others grow!
The RUclips algorithm has only one goal, to gather audiences for commercials. That's it, nothing more.
Sad? but true 🤦
its nice to see someone able to explain these things so simply, now I just wish I knew how to use them.
Nick. Errrr Nate. That one curl really wanted to boop today. Again, you're awesome.
First of all, thank you very much for your work, Nate. I send your videos to some of my RUclips buddies, because they deliver value in a way I haven't found elsewhere yet. Kudos to you!
With that said, what I really hate about "being a small channel" is that the algorithm often punishes you for breaking your upload streak even in the slightest way. Now, I am an adult and try to upload 1 long-from video a week with some shorts linking to that inbetween. So far, I worked very good and with my channel being 1.5 years old, I gathered around 1400 subs. Now because of private reasons, I had to take a 3 week break from youtube (but still being halfway active in the community tab) and now uploading new videos again... the algorithm is not even sending out notifications to viewers with activated bell :/ THAT sucks big times, when you work on the majority of elements that improve your final video product and the platform gives you a fat middlefinger.
Yay.. no tease / unanswered question at the end. Thank You.
Thanks for your tips Nate, I try to do my best for apply them on my channel, sometimes it's hard ahah
Well thought out info thanks
I can just say thanks alottt Nate❤
Thanks Nate!
@thatnateblack - Nate, great teaching! I love that as you are teaching I notice how you are applying those same key points. 💥👏
Thank you for the advices, it’s really hard to do it right 😅
I have INTENSE spreadsheets according to that Factor 3 tactic you mentioned!
Great video, Nate! Super fascinating how the 3 keys are exactly in line with what James Clear talks about in Atomic Habits for building better habits - make it "Obvious, Attractive, Easy, Satisfying"! It's like we are priming the viewers' habits by creating content in a way that is conducive to habit formation
Starting doing some of these a few weeks ago. NOW WE WAIT AND SEE!!!!
Hope it helps!
love your content nate
pen+ GEAR🤔….I hope they did you well Nate.
As usual the “polish”’you applied over the last week was well done. I’ve really appreciated the advice surrounding vid length and being as concise as possible in my own vids. Have a good week man👊.
Hi Nate! I love these videos. Do you have any tips for a new channel that is a talking head style type of thing without fancy equipment/lighting?
I'm a Twitch streamer trying to figure out how to move content from there to RUclips outside of highlights made shorts, and this was amazingly helpful! 👀 Thank you so much!
Hi Nate, been watching your channel for as long as you've been on youtube, so, and I'm borrowing the "boop" word for my furniture repair channel, and he had to sneak the boop card in there, ha, that was hilarious!🎉❤😊
Algorithm Jail is actually a thing. So glad you mention it. My channel is just shy of 50 videos in, and the views I get are still coming from so random other videos that I think RUclips still hasnt figured out that I'm doing Personal Finance. I was wondering whether I confused the algorithm too much by posting a few videos on how I was doing RUclips and analytics etc, which is not my niche.
@@GladeSwope Just on a few videos but I think that actually did harm because I interfered with the impressions for them (maybe noob mistake here). What I've read later was that it's better to not touch a video and let YTB do its thing.
Boy, are you correct! On my other channel, I did a sewing repair video which involved using a zipper. YT paired that channel with all these suggested videos that are soft porn. I soon realized that these women were basically escorts using YT as a platform, whereas I was working hard to put out good video tutorials - I had nothing to do with them! I wondered how anyone could actually put that crap out on YT and do so well without being shut down, based on YT policies, and was pretty offended to keep getting matched with not just one but so many porn videos through the "suggested channels" you see in your stats. It has happened a second time, too. I wrote YT about this, and naturally, they didn't write back. But YT was so quick to give me a copyright warning on a song that I'd already been approved for. YT contacted me on that in less than an hour! Wish YT would stop treating new, hard working channels like dogs, and other channels that aren't working hard so well maybe due to laziness or a wish for profit, no matter if the content is offensive or gross (we've all seen those kinds).
Keep up the good work. The traffic will come. We subscribed.
What a fantastic video! Thank you for making this! The algorithm is the most confusing thing ever, lately i have a feeling it hasnt liked me at all lol
What a exilent video Nate, I don't think there is anyone else out here who explains things like You. Thankyou.
Thank you Nate, sound advice as always 😁
Thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼
I’m a new content creator with a life changing message to share and this helps me get it out there.
Woo I'm early today! Always happy for a new Nate video!
Me too lol 😂. Great to see you here Alexandria!
Thanks for these tips. I have a pretty new channel. I’m going to see if I can implement these tips from now on.
Every time I'm about to ready to throw in the towel, there comes Nate with another banger video. I've got a lot to reflect on to really try and pin-point where I'm going wrong/can improve. Dont be surprised if I make up 20% of the future views on this video
Thanks for your last vid on avoiding retention drop offs. I'd been doing some creative things to avoid the drop-off on the end of the video, and felt so good because it was working. I used an additional idea from your last week's suggestions, and yes, it works. I'm not getting the drop off on my retention graph! Wondering if you might share about trimming videos in editor to keep retention, as I use music on mine so the trim might interfere with the music. If we do trim, when is the best time as a small channel to do so? ASAP, or wait a bit until more results come in? Hope you and others might reply.
Thank you so much for your advice. I've been watching your videos for several months now and it really allowed me to understand what was wrong with my channel. I had been stuck for so long to such a slow growth.
Now I know I still have a lot to learn, but I feel that I have improved so much thanks to you.
What you are explaining at the end of this video (about the vlogs + tutorials in the same channel being appealing to different audiences) makes me think I can't really have the "perfect" channel to develop fully in a large audience. I do different artistic techniques and my videos are definitely appealing to different people. Watercolor, soft pastels, gouache, oils... Most people chose their favourite and stick to it. As for me, I don't want to focus on a single technique, as I need diversity for... well, for staying passionnate and happy I guess.
I'll just keep improving on what I can though. Thanks again 🙏
PS : Seeing you commenting on a Spanish channel, I thought I could mention that I would be more than happy to be roasted if you think it can help others - despite my videos being in French. All the best !
I don't always think RUclips is that intuitive. I watch ONE cat video and suddenly my home feed is drowning in cat videos, when most of what I watch is vanlife and frugality day in the life videos. Sometimes I think it has a very kneejerk reaction to what you might have watched, or even accidentally clicked on and not watched.
Nate, please save us😅. Seriously, endless pieces of advice always with a different take from what everyone else is saying. Super thankful
"...asked for a reverse roast." Love it! I hadn't thought of things that way, what are we doing right? Good point.
Hi Nate!! When you used to be with that other uhm channel, you did an amazing job telling your audience to do 20 videos. Well we are at 28 videos and have grown from I believe around 15 to 20 subscribers to around 235. Not far from a million!! What great advice because coming from zero tech savvy background there is this huge underline huge learning curve. Just thank you and I look forward to your future amazing content 🙏.
If only RUclips had a direct competitor. I bet all our videos would suddenly start moving along nicely numbers wise. It was TikTok but they decided that they wanted to keep all the ad money to themselves and then they closed the algorithm & picked their favourites just like RUclips does now. Keep up the good works Nate
I really appreciate you Nate
Good work!
I will take your advice. Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Nate! I need a roast or reverse roast, or an audit - whatever it takes! I need to get out of jail. Not growing and I don't understand why.
Hello great video information Nate
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great job as usual Nate. 👏 i
6:25 that zoom so that the "Boop the Like Button" card can be more visible. Hahaaa... Love it, Nate! Love the Boop Easter eggs.
I noticed it too & thought, that's a great strategy for doing the like & subscribe. Nate's got that part over in a second, so we won't scrub forward. Any of us could do something similar to this on our channels.
Thank you Nate! I have a pet channel and do both educational and fun videos. Should I focus on just educational?
In a big niche and much others probably better but just learning and trying to grow on things I can control ✊🏽
"How did that get in there." Love it.
Great video again, Nate! The 2nd point had me evaluating my own channel's videos. Specifically the cover songs. I think I need to really amp up my videos which will end up lowering the quantity of videos released, but I think will support my goals better. (P.S. I'm cool with a roast on my channel if you ever need one. I haven't uploaded in a while, but plan to upload again soon. I am working out if I want to push cover songs or go back to tutorials. I'm leaning cover songs because bringing music to life is something I love.)
Just checked your channel - I like how u sing songs 💓 may i give u just little advice? if you can make more joyable colorful videos - that's would be great 👍 some challenges - like: "I tried to play Ukulele roller coaster, that's what happened" or "I tried played Ukulele and cooked at once, that's what happened" or "I played Ukulele in subway. How much money people payed me?" Anyway, subscribed. Good luck 🤞🍀
Best content Strategist ever 🐐🔥
Love your videos, plenty of useful info! May I ask you whats microphone do you use? I want to buy the same. Thank you
nevermind, I found it in your description
Thanks Nate! My one-eyed rescue dog and I are more than agreeable to allow you to review our channel! Everyone wants out of Alcatraz! ☺
Great information 💯😇
Appreciate the Video.
So much value as always 🙌🙌 you going another toast video soon? I’m pretty sure our channel is needing some tough love 🥰
Howdy howdy! Trying to figure out how to keep viewer attention during my videos and stay out of algo jail. Great food for thought!
Very informative content.🙏
The Algorithm Jail is a mysterious place. Just had my best retention by far and got an 8 out of 10!
Thank you for all you do for us! So many of my videos are "bad" because I'm learning. Do you recommend we delete old videos and re-do them? Re-edit and re-post with the old and new together?
Keep old videos and just do a little bit of editing, another thumbnail and video title. I did that for one of my videos (didn't bother to edit my very 1st video) and the new video didn't get as many views as an old one, so go figure:)
