👉 Grow your RU-vid channel FASTER with vidIQ: vidiq.com/install

I’m incredibly flattered to be the subject of this video, thank you so much for the feature! Every idea is on-point and I would also like to share my writing process for my scripts (funnily enough I’m writing one right now) for anyone who wants to try. First, put your raw thoughts on a Gdoc. Just write, put them there, don’t edit or try to fix them as you’re writing. Just put whatever you feel you want to say in your video onto the script. Then you take a long break and don’t think about the script. Go for a run, take a shower, have lunch, whatever. Then once you’ve cleared your head, you go back to the script and remove parts that you feel don’t fit, or you can add in parts that you feel would benefit the video more like a quippy joke or a profound insight. Repeat the latter two steps until satisfied. The reasoning for this is that when you’re making a script, you might feel more creative and then just let those ideas flow-and you should let those ideas come out because they could be good! Then you return with a critical mindset after you’ve written out your raw thoughts and crop out the ideas that you don’t feel should be in the video. This is how I make a script, it won’t work for everyone, but it might work for you. And ironically, I did actually learn it from my English teacher. Good luck to everyone trying to grow their channels!

READ THIS 🚨: You Will Make It One Day! Your next video could be the video that makes you go viral. Just keep up the good work 💪

To the random person reading this, keep going! We are all going to make it!

I started 2months ago and now i have 40subs and 15k views woohooo🥳🥳🥳 We will work more hard guys 👊💪

Unrelated to the video but I heard a quote from a comment section once “Quick growth builds ego, slow growth builds character”

I just recently started RU-vid and im not giving up!, i just wanna say to all small RU-vidrs like me, we can do this Guys! Keep Grinding!

Just started my channel 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾so proud of this little step

I pray my blood, sweat and tears will eventually pay off. It’s all about hope, a can do attitude and the daily grind!

I’m on my way to 1M subscribers and I couldn’t have done it without you guys!!

whoever reads this, you will reach your goals and you matter

I started but I almost gave up my motivation. But I will start working for it again. Those who are here like me, *I know we can do this!*

If you're reading this comment, I hope that your channel grows in 2024... Don't give up💪

Good luck to everyone who’s till fighting for their dreams

Just wanted to share this. I've been using the free version of VidIQ...it helped. But I recently upgraded to the Pro, looked at best posting time, and man! What a difference! Not sure if it was the video topic, title, or purely the posting time but that simple change made a huge difference. Where I was getting 20 to 30 vph, I got 100+ vph, captured viewers I hadn't before, gained lots more engagement, and gained 35 subs from my last upload. This may seem small to some but this is a huge win and boost of encouragement for me. Thanks VidIQ!😊

I have over 50 subscribers now, thanks to you guys!

After 1 year and 2 months im on my way to 10k subs . No wer close to monetization 😢

I just hit 100 subs. I’m grateful but still hungry for more. Keep pushing 💪

The thing is. Is that you can grow slowly but *you are* still growing and growing your skills

I pray anyone reading this right now channel hits the goal you want it to hit. I’m Glad I’m seeing these videos right now especially after feeling discouraged not seeing the growth. With time it’ll come! Good luck

In my experience creating multiple channels in multiple niches : -Every time I posted only one video to test things out, it blew up! -Every time I posted more than one video, things were slow. -Posting a 2nd video on the channel stopped the 1st video's growth. -In both cases, posting the 2nd video resulted in the algorithm to get confused about the niche. Explanation: When you have only one video, you can't niche down more than this! The algorithm will do a great job at finding an audience for your channel, which might not be the audience you had in mind. Let's say you start a channel on cute pets, and post a funny cat video. If you then post a cute dog video (within your niche, right?), no matter if your cat video was posted the day before or had time to blow up, the algorithm niched down as much as possible, and thinks your channel is about funny cats, not cute pets. This results in YT trying to push your dog video to your cat audience, trying to figure things out. This audience likes cats, not dogs, so they don't click, and your 2nd video tanks. YT get's confused and tanks your 1st video too.. I have seen it countless times, created channels for the sole purpose of testing it, and it can be proved by monitoring what your videos come up for in Search Results. You will see your 2nd Niche video will be shown to people looking for the very niched down topic of your 1st video. (and they don't care about it, it's a too narrow audience.) In the results of my experiments on the topic, the quality didn't matter/help when YT gets the audience wrong (showing dogs to cat lovers, showing a Two Feet rock music video to people who love feet, showing Riri video to Ariana Grande fans, etc.). In short : Posting only one video is the most Niched Down post possible, and has much more potential to blow up, but will most likely die when posting more videos UNLESS you go down the niche that YT picked for your 1st video. DON'T keep going with the broader niche you originally had in mind.

Just uploaded my first long form video 2 days ago! I will struggle but I won't quit!

My channel has slowed down in the last couple of months, but hopefully this will kick it up a notch

His thumbnail had some flaws: 1. Repeating the title 2. No curiosity sparking 3. Overly simple

Keep up the good work guys! You'll make it! 😊

There are a lot of creators in my niche (editing TV/film characters into other things) and some that get 1M+ views, but there's only one other person in my sub-niche. So there's low Supply, and due to a mix of obsessive fanbases I'm hoping there will be at least medium Demand. Probably not enough Demand to go viral or even break 10k subs, but I'm fine with modest success. Only 191 subs so far but comments from people who enjoyed my last video are spurring me on to keep going!

It's taken me three years to get to 2k subs, RU-vid is a hard nut to crack, the reality is, just keep uploading and realise that hard work sometimes doesn't pay off, well, what I mean is, don't get worried if a video you've spent months on to create only gets a few views we're quick created videos do really well, it's frustrating, it's just the case of life, then some other times videos you've worked hard on do well and it feels great!

thanks to these videos i finally got to 10K SUBSCRIBERS!!! im pretty sure its because I picked a sub niche that I kinda worked in for some time (2 years ago I had an old channel where I posted the same content that I post now) so i was kind of good at it already! I think its even important to make ur audience interact more , for example I got followers who comment on every videi that I post (and they are always active!) ^^ I started posting 3 months ago so getting to 10k this quickly was kind of surpising

Let’s keep going, everyone. Whatever the next milestone is for you, you’ll reach it, if you don’t quit.

DONT GIVE UP GUYS, WE CAN REACH 1K!!!

Just hit 16 subs! Prepared for the grind!! Great video!!

First 100views🎉

At 100 subs with 37 vids. Needa keep grinding

upcoming creator! DAY 1🔥🔥lets see how much subs this will gain

Keep going everyone . One day it will happen 🎉🎉

The momentum of my channel has been lagging over the past few days, but I'm determined to ignite a roaring blaze of activity now!

On my way to 10k

I am on 64,000 subscribers now! But finding it hard to grow :(

Hey, guys! Thaanks so much for your advices, I have now over 1.4K subscribers and working hard for more! Cheers and good luck everybody!

Blessings to everyone reading this. With optimism we will have great success. Those of us with small channels let’s not give up

Just started about 5 days ago and am at 12 subs at time of writing

Let's see if I can do this, gotta try it

It took my team around 8 regular videos and 3 Shorts before we hit our first 1000 subscribers. And this was before our 100k+ Short. All of our subscribers mostly came from long form videos. I honestly never expected this kind of rapid growth to happen. But I am very grateful it did

Just posted my first video! We got this everyone. Don't doubt yourself and POST!!!

It can happen but most of us will have to grind for it much longer. Also you need to get a bit lucky to do this. But anyways, just push for it guys and we will all make it 🙌🤙

What about a christian channel??

I noticed the outlier score come up recently and I am SOOOOO happy you added it! I've not posted videos yet, but it has come in so useful looking for refining the thumbnail and title process! I absolutely LOVE it!

My brain says give up but my heart says just fight .. I'm just going to strengthen my body because I've been sick for the past few days so to my fellow small channels don't lose hope

Just on 100 right now, could really use the help

Rob. Thanks alot❤❤❤

Literally struggling the past few years to get to 500 i hope this helps

Today, I just reached 300 subs, slowly but steadily climbing towards my goals. Just keep pushing forward every day!!✊👊

So where do you include the sub-niche, on your thumbnails or in your videos?

Good stuff! Let's just keep grinding and looking for viral topics 😬

So close to 500, mentally struggling a little bit, wish me luck!

focused but calm, sometimes being in a hurry can make a mess

Thank you so much dear❤

These are really good tips.... It just disheartening to know that in order to be successful on RU-vid, you need to create content the masses want, not what you want. I have an incredibly niche channel on a subject that most don't even know about or interested in. Although as my production quality increases for my videos, I've seen an increase in views, likes, etc. It's just at a pace that makes it hard for someone who works full time to dedicate the time to do it. I've thought about creating a second channel dedicated to a more popular subject in an effort to cross promote my main channel, the channel that I care most about. The Film Booth channel had a quote on their community page that resonated with me. "The title and thumbnail matter more than the video." Sadly, this is 100% true and it's painful reality of how RU-vid works. At the end of the day, if you want to be successful on RU-vid early on, you have to do what the RU-vid algorithm wants (the boss) until you get big enough to do what you want.

Thank you for 729 subscriber's 🎉

I blew up a while ago, got 200 subs, uploaded a lot to keep the grind going, but nothing changed. I gave up. Three years later, gained 72 more subscribers. Don't know if it's worth the effort, but I have started uploading again. My upload schedule was worse than you could think of. Started to improve my content quality, nothing. Should I keep going? I don't know. Will I keep going? I don't know. If my recent vid gets decent views, maybe then.

Thanks for the tips! I planned on making a video today/tomorrow so I'll try some of these tips out then come back and edit this with the results! Also, I noticed the Demand Hacking strategy and sticking to one sub niche, but I want to make variety gaming content. I also see some youtubers like Dragoon who make variety gaming content and pull millions of views and even youtubers like Alpharad who do the same but with a mix of gaming and irl content! Just an idea, but it could be interesting to look into how these channels do this.

I wish people were interested in History as much as video games. lol I do have to say I have never been great at creating those thumbnails, but over a few years I hit 15,000 subs. often by sharing my history lectures with homeschoolers.

Small youtubers unite! Hope we all gonna make it this year!!

I mainly focus on Sims 4 lets plays on my channel right now, I’m struggling for how to plan any sort of script or anything really because I’m never really sure whats going to happen. I’d love some advice on how other creators deal with this. On the plus side I’ve gained a few subscribers in the last couple of weeks so I’m feeling pretty positive 😊

Imagine RU-vid's database got reset and you need to start all over. What will you do? > Start Over > Give Up

You guys always have such good quality info. I wish more of it were relevant to channels other that gaming or voiceovers and what have you (I know I know thats what most channels are) like music and performing and such. Thanks as always for the tips.

We all gonna win 💪🏽

Helpful content ❤ 🙏 Keep going, you will see the results one day.

Thanks for this support I’m gonna try this in my next video

I started youtube 3 years ago and I have 243 subs. I'm really proud of myself but I wish my channel was growing at a faster rate, I get down on myself thinking why doesn't anyone like me, is it my art that they don't like, is it me or is youtube just very hard to get into. I watched hours worth of your videos and others and use vid iq all the time but none of the advice I watch seem to help. I dont want to give up but im struggling to keep my audience from clicking off my video within 3 minutes

Goodluck to YT channel starters like me! Let’s go!!🎉

Good video. Very helpful. I am going to use the word "Meet" on a title and see if the algorithm likes the new style.

I have been watching this channel since i started my RU-vid 10 days ago....yes i have picked up some useful things right,......but whenever he uses a video for example...its always a gaming channel or a how to channel, no other channels....and i make music lyrics videos.....and i tried one of his advice on my last video after the one i posted currently...and it did worse than the last two that did pretty better......am in to the music niche....editing lyrics and having fun with it is what i do and yes the niche is huge but i still wanna try.......now what advice can u give people like us, who aren't gaming, funny or how to channels......cause i need to know....and what sub - niche can i use for my channel as i just edit lyrics.

Thats amazing, already trying it that way but still its hard to get some views sometimes, I think it needs a bit of luck aswell

I watch your videos everyday. Thank you for everything you do for small channels.I'm grateful ❤

Thank you for always breaking these topics down in easy-to-digest videos! I've started a very small channel, now it's time to put in the work. We got this!

So what happens when his viewers get tired of "DOTA AND LEGEND" video games...dont be discouraged guys if you're looking to build a platform where you can connect with your audience...do the work, be patient and you will see result... being a RU-vidr with a strong foundation takes time... and enjoy your process, trust me you will find the right audience for you... just work on publishing your first 100 videos and you'd see how your RU-vid skills would get better....the key word for you should be BUILDING FOUNDATION and not just satisfying and need that arises due to trends... focus on building and channel that would be relevant even in 10 years....get your audience to love you, that's all This video is a good strategy to get subscribers and views...but it isn't sustainable for a longer period of time... except you're not looking to make RU-vid your full time career

Your strategies are amazing

I have seen some of my competitors with fewer videos and subscribers after me who have already achieved monetization. What I notice is that they have 1 or 2 videos that have gone viral, all their subscribers come from that video. This happened to me too in my own small way, I have 2 videos that went very well by my standards and most of the subscribers come from there. It takes patience and luck, but still a minimum of quality.

This man is the ONLY REASON small content creators have NOT GIVEN UP, like everyone in the comments are saying, DONT GIVE UP GUYS!!!

Before I watch this video I have a question (for the next time you speak with YT employees: If the goal of RU-vid is to keep us on the platform, why do they not let us save shorts but force us to share it to another platform so that we can find and reference it later?

I don’t even need to watch the video to know this is click bait. Yes there are a handful of channels out of millions that may reach the goal but the rest will fall well short.

I am still not sure what my niche is much less my sub-niche but I am still trying to improve my editing and production with each video. My concern isn't so much growth right now but trying to create content I can be proud of. I hope everyone here will get 1000 subs from their next video upload! Keep up the hard work.

Thanks for sharing Nice Video ❤🎉❤

I am strugling to get to 700 subscribers. Damn it, is so difficult.

Tell me your ways.

Hi, Vidiq team. How you doing ? Btw One question - Is it any good to hide subscribers count ? (Like hiding and not hiding it affect channel growth)

Thank you for all your tricks and tips. I try my best to do what you explain, unfortunately I don’t see any changes for now 😊

Thanks for 0 likes and 0 subscribers 😅

in reality you can get 1k subscribers either by: 1. Creating 100 to 150 High Quality videos 2. Shoutout 😂

Thanks for the information. I just started my channel and pray for subscribers.

I'm in a Neche that is tricky. If you aren't real you fail, if you don't make the video entertaining it fails, educational fails, then mixing it all up and testing editing styles 3 out of 10 will take off 2 will take off year or more later. 5 years learning and making content still haven't cracked 500 subs, youtube friends 1000 in less than 12 months cracked the fishing channel code

I got my first 50 subscribers this year 🙌 🎉 Your guides and tips helped a lot.

Shout out to Superprime! Much love, from Supergolden.

156 subscribers here.. I can’t wait for my first 1000 subscribers. I am super hopeful, with hard work of course l💪🏼💪🏼

I started following you in November, and started seriously uploading in January, when I had 10 subs. Now I have 82. Thanks to you and all the other YT growth channels, they might seem cliche and useless but really, they aren't. Thanks again!

Great video with a lot of helpful information. I'm not sure if I should make the same type of video or something with a different topic.

Thanks for the lesson! Your experience and views allow you to really open yourself up to creating a successful promotion.

These videos are so helpful and give a really big insight into how to grow your RU-vid channel. Good luck to anyone starting their own 🎉❤

it took me 2 years to hit 1000 subs , but i learned a lot , and im still learning.
