i think we all need to just embrace it - what is your channel about?

For now I stick with 2/week 💪🏼😁 Better to be constant.

Adding a second video a week this summer seems to have definitely increased my subscribers number much faster than once a week. But then again, my video content this summer has also been very targeted to the current situation (my channel is about teaching tips, so I focused my summer videos on online teaching tips and edtech tutorials). I’m going back to one a week soon, since this semester will have a very hectic schedule. I’m curious to see if there’s a huge drop when I change. Will try to go back to two a week as soon as possible.

I post 3-4 times a week. Posting everyday is draining and will result in burn out.

Quality > quantity

I have been in KZread for 16 months with over 100 videos. I still believe that your success here doesn’t really depends on you but rather the algorithm,period.

Thanks Gillian. You have helped me alot. Thank you:)

Wow this video is packed with quality information.Thank you so much 🙏🏾

Thanks for the good content. And congrats on the new born!

My YT journey is similar to yours in that I started in January (2020, not 2017) and am about 7 months into it. Things are slowly beginning to take off, but it takes a lot of effort to build the momentum and thereby the channel. I really manage best with 1 video per week, however, knowing that that limits the amount of videos available to watch on my channel, have toyed with the idea of periodically blasting YT with a week's worth of videos in order to boost growth. I've seen other channels that I follow expand tremendously when the creator began uploading daily, and I know my IG account grew quite a bit last year when I decided to hit it with one week's worth of posts. Honestly, that much effort to create, edit and post consistent daily content would be exhausting and a huge time-suck for me personally, so overall I am content to keep it to one video a week on average and produce better content. My main focus is on my ETSY shop and creating product for that, so I need to wisely spend my time where my efforts receive the biggest benefit. Currently, I am hosting a subbie challenge and giveaway which is helping me gain exposure, and, prior to that, I uploaded a few extra videos for a Christmas in July sale I was running. Additionally, I am trying to be present and relevant in the comments on the various channels I watch as well as on FB and IG. Little steps add up. I will have to let you know in the future how my "blast the platform" approach works out if I decide to follow through with the idea. :-) Thanks for the guidance and encouragement and congratulations on your new baby!! Happy cuddling! ~Marci

Hey Gillian you are an inspiration. I'm here thinking about how much work I NEED to get done when it seems like you have a year worth of work ALREADY done. I mean, you record a video for August from March? This really gives me the kick I need to start taking crazy action.

Is subscriber count getting less important? I read somewhere that the algorithm now works so well in suggesting videos that it doesn’t even matter if someone is subscribed and it starts to become a ‘vanity metric’.

You can see that with Gillian’s sub count, half a mil subs but her average vid only has 20k views with random videos having massive view counts.

Thanks for this break down. I'll probably have to explore a more frequent posting schedule 🤔

The first 1,000 subs is always the hardest! 🤞🏻

awesome video, Gillian! I have two channels now, one is in my own native language of Turkish and with a 11.2k subscriber base. but I'm intending to come to this one to grow it, I currently have 884 subscribers but I see good potential of making this one work too. I love watching videos like these and your content quality is superb. thanks a ton! and congrats for the new baby! I wish him/her a life full of happiness and health!

CONGRATULATIONS, Ms.Perkins!

I hope we all will achieve our goals! :)

Hi Gillian, nice hair! I am here, ready to soak up your tips. Getting my learning on!!

Another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. Also took your free workshop. Looking forward to using the amazing tips. Looking forward to your next video

This is exactly what I want to hear

I want to keep uploading high quality videos. So i have to upload 1 every 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the video Gillian, I think it depends on the niche you're in. For example, Music and entertainment have higher traffic searches than education or more focused forms of education so there are many contributing factors to the growth of a channel. Take me as an example, when I post every day ( I know it sounds crazy and would make thin content ) my channel skyrockets on all levels which is something explainable as I promote my videos over social media platforms at the time of posting while for me relying on search traffic for a whole week is a losing game as the portion of organic traffic is not sufficient for timely growth. So until one reaches 50K subscribers and above and if the niche doesn't have high traffic volume in comparison to other niches then it is better to post every day or every other day at least to make for faster growth at the beginning.

Lots of love for you and your baby . Hope you two have a great time together. I always watch your videos but commenting for the first time. Just started posting again :)

Another great video girl! I would love to learn the secrets of your KZread success. You started a little bit before me and have grown significantly faster than I have. No comparison, just super curious about your secrets to success! I would love to know more about your process. How much work do you put into crafting each video, do you plan out your keywords and research them first before shooting, or do you create video concepts based around what your subscribers are asking, or a combination of both? It would be really helpful to know how you managed to publish two videos a week. What was your process like? Thanks in advance for your help! Bri

Thanks for this video...I subscribed. Once in a while I get on a roll and can post a new video every day. Then I burn out and post nothing at all for a few weeks. Like you, I also find that most of my viewers are not subscribers, but my understanding is that this is not at all unusual. It's interesting to learn how the algorithm works, but high quality content that people will want to watch is the key. No way to game that.

This was a really interesting video. I can never decide if I should post more or if twice to three times a week is enough 🥺

All of this makes a lot of sense. I still find it difficult to post even once a week. Think I need some work-flow updates!👍🏽

Very interesting and very useful for success on KZread! Thank you for sharing 👍 Kurt

Nice content. This is an eye opener.

Tons of great info, I need to try uploading twice a week. Thank you!

I've noticed that if you are very consistent with uploading, your number of subscribers steadily increases. There are some pretty good channels out there which are no longer pushed forward by the KZread algorithm because the owners have not posted anything in 2-3 months. Such a shame...

Oh my goodness! Congratulations on your sweet babe. Hope you are getting lots of snuggle time with your little one. ❤

Hi Gillian - I just started my KZread channel and I find your tips so so so helpful - thanks so much! 🌟

Great information! You gained a new subscriber. I’m on the road to 100 subscribers 😩 I’m going to do 2 a week and see how it goes 🤞🏼Also congrats on the 4th baby. You look great!

Thank you! Very useful information:)

Congratulations on having the new baby, that is so exiting, you create great videos, Thankyou , enjoy the rest of your leave 😊

I've figured out how to leave my 9 to 5 behind and enjoy my work in growing my "almost" completely passive income - BUT I'm still trying to learn how to share all of this on KZread! I'm going to go sign up for your workshop now 😀

Hey Gillian, That’s a great idea. I am giving myself time to learn the craft posting once a week. Once I can consistently create good videos that rank I will try twice a week.

Hi Gillian, thank you for the video! Interesting topic :) I would love to see how changes in your posting schedule affected your views, not only subscribers. By the way, your growth might also be affected by the fact that for some of your subscribers getting 2 videos a week was just too much as they only had time to watch 1 video per week on your channel and so your CTR was probably lower because of that because your videos started competing with one another. Especially when you already established a big library of videos that new subscribers could watch.

You got to the point that it doesn't really matter how often you post as long as you do at a reasonable pace.

Really helpful, Thank you. This question always has so many varied answers, but stats don't lie.

Great breakdown. My growth rate is the same abysmally low rate of just a few per WEEK as yours was in the beginning. I'll be registering for your workshop asap. Also, great work with you time machine. Dr Who is my favorite, but you are up there!

I look forward to the workshop. This is Scott commenting from my YT channel in case you are interested. Btw, such a great idea to record ahead. I'm on vacation and didn't think to do this and so now juggling trying to edit a video with taking the family on a trip. I'll be tossing the PC into the trunk to maintain consistency in uploading as I've heard that consistency is so important. I think you would agree considering you recorded this video 5 months in advance just to stay consistent and allow yourself time with your newborn. Congratulations, by the way!

Hi Gillian, my channel has about 5 themes to it, so I have to make lots of videos of each theme, it's quite time consuming and I'm very new to you tube. I found your channel very very helpful and you explain things very well. Ive subscribed to your channel.

Hello Gillian i hope u and ur family are doing well and by the way congratulations on ur new baby. Well anyway I wanted to say how did u got ur video started from the very first time. I won't know how I start my KZread channel or where do I start and by the way I want to say I want to make my video a full time career let me know Gillian where do I start and how do I start my KZread channel and I do want to say I'm so glad i was browsing by looking how to start my KZread channel and i came across ur video channel and I'm so glad that i did well let me know how where and what to do thank u once again congrats on ur new baby all my best to u and ur hubby. Clarissa!!

I love ur videos.

It doesn’t matter. CGP Grey has 4 mil subs and posts a video once a month, sometimes once every two or three months. Mark Rober has 13.2 mil subs and posts once every two months. You don’t need to worry about the quantity game when you’re making original high quality content that people want to see and share.

I wish there was a love button ❤️
