Niche Down Will Not Grow YouTube Channel. Try This.

I get it. You have multiple interests and you don't want to niche. When I was starting my channel, all the KZread gurus we're advising you to niche down. BUT, I felt like I had more to talk about than just one topic!
There's a strategy that works better than niching and it'll give your content some variety while still having a focal point.
In this video, I break down the difference between how to find your niche, how to create a target audience and how to experiment around your KZread channel.

    You are completely right - I love the videos where you talk about what you've done with your channel, the battles you've had and how you stay motivated etc. How to build a successful channel is obvious to me, and has already been done to death on the big channels. They all seem to talk about the same thing over and over. The key to me watching every one of your videos is the motivation I get for my own channel, seeing your struggles and how you've dealt with them, but also how you're starting to see some success is key. I'd say at this point, I'm starting to watch your videos for 'you', but I can't guarantee I won't click off your video if it isn't relevant to me. But that also doesn't mean I won't instinctively click on your next one. Hope this helps in some way?

    It definitely helps. If you ask me, staying relevant is the most important point to keeping retention and getting clicks. Many big KZreadrs create title and thumbnails that relates to people because it triggers them emotionally. That's something I'm still trying to learn. Thanks for sharing!

    You’re right, and I feel like this many times. It’s a constant chase and no one realises how much work goes into it (unless they in it themselves) and on top of it I find so frustrating when some new channel come about with one video and boom- they go viral with a very poor quality content! How does that work. If just say stay consistent and you’ll eventually get there. Content creation and YT is growing so it’s still so many opportunities to get big but that’s only if we continue

    3:26 Rather than niching down, and burning out on content I find the algorithm showcases more readily than videos I felt were more beneficial for my viewers, I created multiple KZread channels to test different formats, e.g. meditations in Spanish, under ten minutes, and for kids and teens. Once I started going to a recording studio, it's easy to record good audio for my meditations, and the audio engineer can help me edit videos and prepare thumbnails quickly, so producing content for those types of videos is pretty efficient. I am going to seriously start an influencer-type channel in the next two weeks, and if I need to outsource the editing, so be it. Growing my main channel to the size that it is now required a ton of experimentation across all of my channels, and it's grown rapidly for my niche in less than a year (I started posting at the end of July). I highly encourage everyone to start multiple channels simultaneously if you have the time and energy to experiment and see what works for you. A second channel can just be a KZread shorts channel that has clips of your longer videos or a KZread lives channel with your horizontal and vertical lives that requires minimal editing. Treat it all as experimental trials in a learning laboratory.

I also told him on his "why you should start a KZread Channel video" that.... his words in that particular video were very discouraging and that, if someone came to that video to get ideas, he basically made them feel like it's not worth doing!! If you watched that vid.... it started off cool, but then it went dark, as if you'll never be successful on KZread because of XYZ!!

It gives me a bit of hope that hard work pays off and not everything is luck. Towards the end, the numbers he threw in looks big but in the end, it is just how he think to keep himself going on his channel. I find myself being able to relate after creating over 100 videos myself but maybe its just me. I do find his video dragging a little too long though and it can cause a negative effect on the viewer because it gets tiring. Perhaps you wouldn't feel that way if he gets straight to the point.

    Recently I created a second channel but haven't started posting on it yet. So a little about my current (main channel), i started posting things about everything Im interested in from skateboarding to swimming, workouts to general sports talk, but I feel like I just have so many different niches and topics that i make on this one channel it gets a bit messy and bad for the youtube algorithsm. I've seen some video do pretty well whilst the others not so much. So i wanted to make the second channel for ONLY my exercise and fitness stuff whilst my current one is just for life/vlog/skateboarding. But the issue is i dont have so much time to focus on both and I also feel too involved and dedicated to my current channel to be able to make that switch all of a sudden. Like it feels like I have to restart everything, not that I have a lot of subs on this channel anyawys but I worked quite hard on it and it has been growing slowly but consistently lately. So i'm quite troubled on what to do and how I should go about, maybe slowly cut down on the topics/niches that are not getting so many views? So just focus on like 2 instead of 5

I do enjoy building my channel up to the point where people are coming back to watch me for me, the topics I chose maybe only affects 20% of the CTR. Big KZreadrs tend to have that pulling power, people love them for them and can't wait to see what they have to say in certain topics :)

    I would say that I subscribed to you for your journey and your opinion on the things you discover. I think that if you had smaller videos that were more directional, you might become a "resource" for people that are trying to grow their channel.

    To be honest, I did try smaller videos (shorter duration if that's what you mean) but they seem to yield the same result as longer videos. KZreadrs tend to do longer videos for 2 reasons, 1 - more ads and 2 - YT has the tendency to push longer videos with high retention. To be in my niche has its downside, at some stage, there are only that many resources I can provide before I run out of things to say so I can understand where VidIQ is coming from too.

    Hi hun, I've watched u for a few weeks now and although I'm just at the start of my journey, I'd like to offer my perspective on this, hope ok. I'm certainly no expert but the last few vids you have done are not the same positive, upbeat, educationaones I saw and that brought me to ur channel. Can I suggest you go back a few steps rather than leaping into a new direction? I think you have a great personality but your not letting that shine because your consumed with ur views. STOP STRESSING and get back to enjoying the journey. Give us some of that original value your good at, go back to some basics on KZread there is always newbies wanting to learn but show us your positive energy. it feels like the last few vids you are sharing your problems which is great but too early for u, try doing a vid on a topic and don't mention your struggles, don't mean to be harsh but all young youtubers are having these probs but we don't want to see someone else have the issues, we want to see someone who shows us what IS possible, act like you have already conquered youtube and your buzzing to show and tell your audience, hope this makes some sense, go rematch some of your earlier vids and see that shine, bring it back. hope this helps, I know I would love someone to critique my work, it does feel like guess work sometimes but please get back to enjoying ur process, I think your audience might be feeling ur pain and its not wat is needed, you got this, xx

    Thank you for the honest feedback. The problem with creating educational videos is at some point, we either run out of ideas or we start repeating ourselves, because let's face it, there's only so much we can discover in order to keep producing new videos. Big channels are always going around in circles on creating good thumbnail, creating good title, audience retention and so on. What are your thoughts on that?

    Simplify it. Say you have a topic on finding your niche. instead if covering TONS of points in one video covering asmuch as possible, go simple, find 10 points in that one video and do 10 videos but have fun with it. For example vid 1. too many niches show examples, good and bad, nothing else. vid 2. most popular niches how to find them. 3. how indepth to go in niche wat works wat doesn't. 4, your fav niches, what do u watch and why. get the idea, small points but expand within that, get b rolls off pexel, give ur vids depth, show ur character and humour with a benefit for the viewer but give something away about yourself, be less serious and more focused on smaller, digestible chunks and have fun with it, show us some video of u chatting outside or whilst ur cooking, get viewers to relate but not to your problems but YOU as a person make it more personal,

    Uhhmmmm i subscribed because of your transparency of how much you earn monthly.

Better to continue to used google ads and target the same niche like yours. To increase views and subs and bring traffic in your channel .

    @@GoodlifeInvestor 10k sub count is a lot to me right now but it tends to change as my channel grow. If I am at 1k, 10k seems huge. If I am at 10k, 50k seems huge. The grass is greener on the other side I guess. It certainly sucks to see others getting views while smaller channels doesn't but I've learned to accept that's all part of the build up process. My rule of thumb is your view is 10% of your sub count. Hence, them getting more views also depends on their following. Have a look around and you may notice most channels, both big and small, hits that 10% mark view-sub count. If yours is above 10% consistently then you're doing something right.

With so many up and downs now I am very close to complete 10k subscribers . but now i am not getting views . 200 to 400 views per day is not generating money .

    There's no answer to that. There are a lot of factors to take in, such as your niche, your target audience, your competition, your advertising sweet spot, your channel's retention. Google Ads may be able to give you an estimated number of views based on your cost per ad and budget and keywords but for subscribers, that really depends on you and your ability to convert them. Nobody can force anyone to sub to any channel.
