There's a lot of anxiety as a new creator and it's beyond deflating to watch videos all saying, "it just takes time", "make good content", etc. But the way you guys presented the information in this video has put my mind at ease. I know my content isn't perfect and it will evolve as I continue, but I'm less stressed about whether or not my channel will ever be successful after watching this video. I almost skipped it just because of the length of it, but I'm glad I didn't . I watched until the end and it was very worth it. Thanks Guys

I’m a small manicure/pedicure channel with 9 subs and I just started 2 months ago with 0. Sometimes I feel like the algorithm is against me but at other times….. nah….. I still feel like the algorithm is against me😂 but I’m going to keep going and see where I land in another year.

It took me just under 2 years to become monetized. Super long by some people standards but I’ve learned SO MUCH over those two years and I truly started taking KZread seriously a year ago. When I stopped feeling like KZread didn’t want me to get monetized and I kept on posting (some content wasn’t very good or useful) I started to see growth. Definitely an interesting journey and I’m onto the next goal of 2,000 subscribers and more edited videos and thumbnails to see how that does

Big tight on this video! Ive had a couple shorts lately "take off" compared to my usual 200 views, and that was pretty cool

Great compilation guys! Nice to have all of this to review in one video.

Thank you so much Rob! I cannot/could not run my small (40 subs) channel without you and this... insanely long video you have made.

For shorts, I find that sometimes changing the title means the difference between 50 views and 2k views. Sometimes it’s waves. I’ll get 50 views initially then 24 hours later I get 2k views. I find that if more than 50% of people offered the shorts swipe away the push slows and eventually stops. One short I had got 100 views then nearly 200 days later it entered into the search rankings and now transformed to 1.3k views. And still growing. It’s insane because I never know exactly what’s going to happen. Sometimes it’s perfect timing and I got over 6k views. Sometimes it bombs and I get 50 views. Sometimes if I remove and re-add it will work. But sometimes I have to force feed the shorts system the same video 5 times before it finally has steam. Now on the long form content. I have one that ran up to 50 views quickly then it died for another 160 days then suddenly it got picked up on search. Then it got browse and then suggested. This video at 160 days was at 50 views. One month later it’s at 1.5k views and still going. This video started testing out shorts to these viewers. Suddenly I had 4 different shorts take off mostly on search. Then 2 of those shorts started getting suggested. And being that I have 3 out of my 270 videos that have been attracting views suddenly my channel went front struggling to getting a lot of views. And within a single month I went from earning just a single subscriber to earning over 100 subscribers in one month. The one widely successful video on my channel has gained over 40 subscribers alone. Which is outstanding and the best performer on my entire channel. It keeps generating plenty of views and it has reliably been bringing in subscribers and plenty of likes. This one video seems to have found pool of people that loves my content. And because of that many have checked out the rest of my channel generating a lot of engagement and keeps pushing the algorithm to expand. In one year I went from 130 subscribers at the start to almost crossing the 700 mark by the end of the year. This is thanks to vidiq! And my biggest advice is exactly what vidiq is saying here. Make videos for your viewers. Videos you enjoy doing and that your good at. And the rest will fall in its place. Took me over 200 videos to realize this. I’m 9 subscribers away from 700. And I have decent confidence I’ll reach it by end of week. And if not I got so close to my milestone that it’s still a huge success for my channel!

I understand what you guys are saying and the struggle is real but I am determined to get it right for the viewer. I have to remember why I'm doing this in the first place, I want to share and teach people to build and fix things for themselves so they don't have to rely on others and spend a bunch of money.

Why Do Americans visit my channel? They said my content Need to be set FREE!🚩🎥

In my experience, watch time for a new creator is a great metric and I'd probably rank it higher than you guys did. The longer viewers sit down with you, the more they are getting to know you as a person. In the early stages of getting a channel started, people have no idea who you are, so having personal time with a small group of people who watch a large portion of your videos is a great start to spark a growing community. Then, once you have that community, your videos are more likely to take off as you learn more from them. I started my channel with very long challenge-based progression videos for the game I play (MapleStory) and I found that the deep connection I created with my audience really helped me get the snowball rolling. As the series ended, even though I stopped making those types of videos, I was still able to see success (20k+ views on videos) because I had a community that loved my content. Thanks for this great video! Watched it all the way through. Merry XMas and Happy New Years to you all!

6 ай бұрын

I took a look at your video with 1400 views and I think I see why this could be happening. What people comment on a video, they are responding to the value you give them. Value can come in many forms... did you brighten their day by making them laugh? Did you teach them a new skill? Did you make them feel less stressed? You have to think about those things if you want to get engagement. The video that have 1400 views is a 6 second clip of you showcasing your fish bait, but you don't provide any commentary as to why this is the best bait to use, how it's different from the others, etc.. For your future videos, I would suggest thinking of ways that you can give VALUE to the viewer. When you do that, you'll see more growth in your content. Best of luck!@@AnxiousBaits

It hurts when you put effort in your videos and you don't get subscribers💔. But I won't give up. Best of luck guys.

Not getting any views on this channel. Slow and steady. Being patient and improving everyday.

Ok. Here is a comment. My exact thoughts at 1:04:46 into the video is. "Am I learning any more about how to grow my channel by continuing to watch this particular video and if I click off this video now will I miss out on learning exactly what I need to implement into my videos and KZread channel? Then if the answer is "no" then I will click off. In this case. So far this video I have been watching in parts for two days and I have learned a lot. So I will continue to watch it to the end.

I hope for whoever reading this you’ll have more succes as I do. pls if someone has some ideas for me let me know

I discovered that CTR is not as easy to read as I thought. On the one hand, a higher CTR causes the video to have more views. On the other hand, CTR is related to how many new viewers watch my video. My channel is quite new, so many videos have more new viewers than returning ones. In this case, the CTR is usually lower. In turn, those videos that mainly reach my regular audience have a fairly high CTR. But that doesn't mean they have more views. For example: video 1 - CTR 7.6%, views 457, returning viewers 241 (i.e. more than half of the views); video 2 - CTR 4.8%, views 589, returning viewers 71 (i.e. about 1/7 views). Data after 7 days of display. Both films dealt with a similar topic.

I will not stop until I get there

All your videos, guys, are so good for us , small youtubers!! Keep going!!

Merry Christmas to all and may we all have a successful new youTube year 😊❤

Thank you for always providing us valuable content to help us on our KZread journey! I came here to post that I've not seen your videos recommended to me in a little while now. I've noticed lately that I've seen different channels popping up for me that has never shown up before but it was very noticeable that I hadn't seen a video of yours pop up like usual.

This is a great work. can't believe you made more than an hour video on this topic

This season, has packed a lot of important information, You have answer a lot of my questions on this video. Thanks keep it up.

Started streaming and posting gaming videos and I find that I enjoy it. No much result yet, but keeping up at it is the key. Every posting, I try to improve something- youtube thumbnails, speaking, audio, etc. I am deaf, and audio is a huge issue for me since I can't properly test it for myself, so I ask my friend out when he has the time. The take I get from KZread is never stop learning- there's always something to improve. There's a quote, that I like-"If you can get 1% better each day for one year, you’ll end up 37 times better by the time you’re done." There's no perfect video that exists, so just get comfortable and be yourself.

I love how they start off by saying that there is no KZread algorithm and then spend the whole rest of the video talking about how to tweak the KZread algorithm.

I get 1000 subscribers in a month.Thank you VidiQ😊

Happy Holidays to everyone for starters! So far we have been able to grow as a small channel exponentially! We got our first 100 subs in June 2023. Now we're over 500! We hit our goal for 2023 and looking forward to continue to grow in 2024. Our livestream has been so successful. No monetization yet, but believing and giving youtube faith, it is possible!

I have about 40k followers on one of my TikTok accounts but that was easy - it's time to conquer KZread next, a much more difficult challenge to be sure... We got this, small tubers!

Watching your videos really helps my channel i wanted to start a channel years ago but my parents were right i wasn't ready but now thanks to you i kind of know what im doing

Well don't give up on your dreams people, The many other creators I found are actually purely by chance by even finding them outside of KZread. Even the comments sections of other videos can find interesting people sometimes

I just want to say this people know what they are talking about....so just don't lose hope until you get successful.... because the process is harder

good guide! first I started my channel i focused on quality on quantity but what i learned you just start posting videos and in time you will learn what's working right. I have just started hoping for better results in the future.

Fun fact is that the thumbnail of this video is made Ai.

I’ve been on this new account for a couple weeks now because I saw a video about shorts ruining ur channel but I’m still trying to build an audience and get people to click my video even though I spend hours on my thumbnails

Definitely seeing the surge in views straight up, then hard brakes slam on to basically a views flatline recently, on both vids and shorts... not sure why

Can’t believe I will get to a 100k soon 🙏 so grateful to you guys

Feels like last year flew by so fast. Happy new year fellow commenters & Happy new year to everyone at VidIQ!

FINALLY did it after my second appeal. Thank you Jesus.

i think youtube is featuring some adsense campaign because of the (intended) lack of discovery for newcomers by the algorithm. everything is a paying option, the only question is "can you growth without spending a million?" like the expert says "brings your own viewers, don't rely only on youtube".

I've also noticed that some videos may start off slow and then take off a few days or even weeks later. I look up and start seeing subscriber numbers go up and it's not on my recent content. Then I will see a video from the past getting a few thousand views all of the sudden.

Thank you, i was wondering how they do it now i know

well watching confirmed a few things i was thinking. i've seen steady growth with my channel with a combination of shorts and long form video. kinda nice to keep learning this stuff

I appreciated the practical stats like views to likes and views to subs. As a new creator this gives me an idea how I am doing while my channel is small. Thank you

50 subscribers away from hitting my 1000 subscriber mark!! Wish me luck!! Happy holidays everyone!!

Guys, I have a question, I have old videos on another of my channels, and the click rate is very low on some, many are book reviews, so I already know that the title, description, and thumbnail were not the best. The question is, do I make them private or delete them before uploading them again with the new changes? Because they continue with impressions and maybe I get better impressions of others. I have been thinking about this problem for days! Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you for being the first non-programmer to say that there is not one youtube algorithm. I know what people mean when they say it, but as someone from a Computer Science background, it kind of irks me lol. The only program that exists in the world that had a single algorithm is a program that only does a single thing, like the famous 'Hello world" progam.

What if my short video shown to me during watching shorts. It happens with ne and even I have published same short screen recording on my channel. Kindly suggest why youtube showing my short to me?

The one thing about the algorithm argument that I don't understand; Why does KZread continue to circulate larger channel content on one's home page even after they have watched once, twice and three times? When this happens to me, I hit refresh if I recognize the videos, but sometimes I click thinking I haven't watched only to realize I have moments later, and then I leave the video because it's just redundant. My gut tells me that repeat content shouldn't exist unless a user is searching for it specifically. I've noticed this for years and it seems to be getting worse. Those slots could be filled with content a user has not explored. Anyway, just an observation.

I am only 84 subscribers away from 10K subscribers, and 49 watch hours from being monetized... Thanks a lot for your helpful tips and tricks. It certainly helped me a lot on the last mile!

Just subscribed! Thank you for going out and helping others to feel... not so lost in this youtube creator land! From Blue Creek Detectors

Im a small channel creator but looking forward to improve my videos

A number of creators in my niche will create eight hour videos, where seven hours is a black screen or static image and sound effects after sleep narration or meditation. I'm curious is this kind of practice could be an issue with staying in the monetization program. It gets the average view time up significantly (since listeners fall asleep and it keeps running) and these channels are growing fast, but is this a good long term strategy?

Superb my man ❤

Good to know this. I started running a Facebook ad on a video I linked to my fb page. I was wondering afterwards if it might damage my channel if fb folk don’t want to leave their platform and leave the video immediately when it’s opened. But I might do it again because I don’t know, I’ve made 8 videos so far and gotten 18 subs. I absolutely appreciate each and every viewer and subscriber, but at this rate, I’d have to make 445 videos just to have enough to get monetized. And since I’m making original animated content, all by myself, I’d have to invest 5 years to even see a return of my investment. I’ve heard that kids channels’ rpm are as low as for shorts.

We upload shorts and I think our shorts are high quality, easy to understand and informative to most people. I just wish KZread would bring the feature to change thumbnails for shorts on PC. I really believe we could pull more viewers with the right thumbnails, since our stats prove that. Even without custom thumbnails, we had a great start and gained 100 subs in 20 days time. The algorithm really tries to help.

Whaoh ! Long video ! Nice !!
