    It feels so good to hear that the 'upload consistently' tip is not really accurate. I've been beating myself up for missing a week and now I feel that there has been a weight lifted from my shoulders! Thank you for being honest and having the courage to debunk your own advice!

    Yes I feel that kind, too was on fear it would cause damage if I will sometimes happen to not be able to upload a video every week 😔really stressed my out. In my opinion no schedule is also no good but that it hasn't to be accurate 100 percent is really good to know so we don't stress us out so much about missing a week.. I thought it was true that that would do damage..

    Agree! I started looking at my analytics of when my subscribers show as most frequently online, and upload accordingly. That time changes day by day and week by week. I can't say definitively that it has helped overall, but it definitely gets me more views in the first hours after upload as compared to before when I would stick to just the time I had set in my mind (errr. . .maybe told to me by others. . .) was the 'best'.

    I’ve never fallen prey to this practice and never will. I follow a couple hundred people and I don’t know when they post and I don’t care when they post. If I see the notification and it’s interesting, like Annie’s videos. I will click on them as soon as I see them. And if I missed it as I scroll through the ones I missed I will pick the ones I want to view.

    When you said that by trying so hard to commit to an uploading schedule may risk the quality of our videos I felt it so much! It's such a relief to realise that not being 100% consistent with uploading it's not going to matter that much. Sometimes it's quite hard to upload the same day every week when you're having a full time job and life gets busy. I love the idea of this video! It's a such a breath of fresh air!

    Hmm, the niche down info is interesting. I get that it may not matter to the algorithm, but I’d think I’d annoy viewers by not uploading the same topic routinely. And if I’m dropping those viewers, the algorithm would notice and not push my content as much... lots to think about. Thank you.

The idea of niching should be YOU and when I mean by YOU, I mean your personality and your style... I believe people will be attracted to you and your channel no matter what type of content you make. Building a personal relationship with your community is key.

    I agree about the niche point. I do skincare, but if I followed the niche-down rule then I’d only be able to make content about skincare for dry, acne-prone, sensitive skin! And I don’t think that would be very appealing 😂 So I feel slightly broader content, but still focused, is better. I did want to point out that your target audience (in my opinion) is content creators in general, potentially smaller and newer creators. You’re not necessarily pulling a bunch of people who have your “niche” of helping people grow on KZread (though I’m sure they’re here too). So to mention that you find it annoying that people from an anime channel are commenting on your stuff, well that might be insulting your target audience. You’re pulling from all different focuses, which is part of the reason you’re able to find success. Just a thought.

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! That's exactly what I was thinking about lately " Do I really have to stick to a strict schedule? Does it even matter when I upload if I still upload regularly?" and the Niche thing! I was feeling lately that I am putting myself into a box and started planning my content not by the niche but by the mindset of my target audience. You have no idea how happy I am seeing you sharing the same thoughts and confirming what I have been feeling lately! Thank you Annie!

    Great advice with regard to these strategies mentioned in the video. However I would beg to differ on one of those points you mentioned - niching down...so the main point about niching down is to have consistent content content across your channel, so that it doesn't lead to dead subscribers. To elaborate further, say I have multiple niches on my channel, subscribers who subscribed for niche A, will not be interested in Niche B...and vice versa. So, in my opinion, niching down is actually a good thing for your channel. Maybe we need to see your next video about niching down to understand your viewpoint...

    I'm a bit confused about the niche point since you're sort of contradicting yourself. So you're saying you don't need to niche down but you need to focus on your audience but if you focus on your audience then you're most likely niching down. To me a niche tells your audience what they can expect from your channel. There's topics around your niche that you can explore but it all has to relate back to what your channel is about.

  • @anniedube

    I don't think you quite understood what I said. 'Niching down' is sticking your content in a box and putting a label on it. You focus on your audience and what they need, you're not focussing on a 'niche' you're focussing on what value you're providing them. I don't put myself in the 'youtube growth' niche. I create videos helping content creators in different stages of their journeys to becoming full time creators and spreading their message to their own audiences x

    LOL. I'm glad you mentioned all these points. Because I never really cared about some of those tips that people would say were vital to becoming successful on KZread. No diss to those who recommended them, I just knew it wasn't for me. For example, I knew that there was NO way I was able to fit my channel into a niche or a few niches and niche down and yadda yadda. Lol. Nah... Just be yourself. Talk about what you really like and love in life. Because there's bound to be people in the world that like and love the same things you do. It takes a little longer to gain subs, but the ones that sub, will absolutely LOVE your content. It's like becoming an extension of their family without actually meeting them in person. It's so cool. I love "working" on my channel because I just get to speak my mind about anything and everything. It's so liberating to just say what is really on your mind. Trust me. There's probably millions of people who totally agree with you on most things. And if they don't, that's OK too. Because people grow with time and exposure to different ideas. This is how we will fix and heal the world. This is what I believe. I'm glad to see that you have grown in the way you handle your content, Annie. That's what life is all about. Growth in mind and soul. Peace.

    Excellent video as always Annie! Informative and reassuring! I remember a previous upload of yours discussing "no need for an upload schedule" which took a huge weight off my shoulders, as juggling a full time job, family, and a medical condition would not allow me to upload weekly, let alone on a set day and time of the week Today's upload reinforced that even further... it's been over 40 days that I have not uploaded, and that has been eating away at me... I love when you use visual aids taken directly from youtube and seeing the "6 months" definitely reassured me that I am not in nearly as bad of a situation as I had imagined Thank you again with all my heart for soothing my nerves and providing me with much needed comfort in a time of need!
