Success on KZread 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

I can't believe all this information is packed into one (amazing) video. Thank you so much for sharing it all in such a condensed manner!

This beginner's guide to KZread for small channels is exactly what I needed. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive resource, it's super helpful!

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)

Good luck to us all…remember it will happen if you keep going…dont quit…youre building youre dream

🍿 at the ready

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.

Fully agree

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

had to go sleep nearly 1 in morning but saved and wacthing it as soon as i wake up

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.

Those last 2 chapters are absolutely GOLD.

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. 💙

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!

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 thought I was doing too much by changing my thumbnail but this video tells me I'm on the right track

I recently started my journey but I know that with enough practice we all can make it! Just keep pushing!🎉❤

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 vid IQ for helping future channels❤

This was very informing. I’m starting my channel. Will try these tips out ! Wish me luck😊

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! 💪

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

My daughter wants to start making videos on KZread, 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

Best video i ve seen on this channel as of yet, good job guys!

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.

Just started this year. You guys helped me a ton so far.

Here we go! Lets grow our channel 🎉

Lets be honest. We all need advice and support to grow

I just keep learning. Thank you for sharing.👍☀️

🤩 Soooooo helpful! Saved to my private KZread How-to’s Playlist to refer back to. You covered so much ground! Thank you!

This is great advice on many levels Rob. For me, lately I've been using one of the thumbnails that KZread 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 KZread journey.

This was a great tips, still trying to grow. Will definitely save this.

Thanks so much for this!

I'm so grateful for all the tips you're sharing! I've been using some of them and gained 1000 subscribers in less than 4 months!! I'm super happy!

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!

Thanks so much for all these helpful tips! I love your sense of humor ;)

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.

Gone keep this one saved for my One Piece channel, Thank you for bringing more light to my path!!

hopefully i transfer these to my channel! i’ll definitely be grinding

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. 😢
