I have seen some shorts that do this

I feel like the hardest part of being a “small channel” is the process of getting recognized. Like it might sound silly, but EVERYTHING matters from the sounds you use to the resolution and aspect ratio you render in. Just remember guys, it’s the little things that separates you from others. 🤙🏽

For those small content creators like me who think they're not getting anywhere despite the efforts and hard work, never give up! and keep moving forward! Here's my cheers to you, thanks! ❤

Crossing fingers hoping to see more growth. Thanks for the great tips, there was actually a lot of stuff i never would have found on my own.

Thank you for the tips and explaining everything clearly. I've been stuck as a small content creator for a while so this has been very eye-opening!

so much helpful knowledge!

Thank you so much for this video. I did some of the setting recommendation and it worked. My channel is not even a month old and maybe 20 views on a video is nothing to much people, but for me it made my night. So, I started changing my old videos setting and got one or three more views. Small wins are wins!! Thank you again for sharing this information!

The first point is directly for me. I'm guilty of that. Now I feel shameful 😢

Awesome video as always, and I think that for small channels the most important thing is to get good presence from the beginning. Otherwise, you are going to be far behind everyone else, and eventually quit. Even though I am not beginner anymore, I know how hard it could be (and if I didn't have used a lot of Famester, I would have quit a long time ago as well). It made everything much more easier and faster, especially getting over subs and views requirements to get monetized.

the fact that you got this video on my homepage, got me to click it, and got me to watch it all the way through, means that you probably know what youre talking about. cheers

Thank you Marcus, so much value. This is very helpful to small creators trying to grow. Love the tips.

Ohh myy! Bravo. You are a superhero Marcus. Thank you so much for this info. ♡♡♡

This is the most helpful and accurate video for small YT channels I've ever seen. I was so fed up with those obvious tips like "be creative" or "make a great title" that are in like 90% of videos. Thank you!

This is the year of the small channel. Sieze your moment and give it your all! Good luck to all of you ✌️❤ From South Africa

Thank you so much! This was really helpful for starting out.

Thanks for the tips, I recently started posting and I've been having fun making videos but needed a little bit of help with settings

Got this recommended to me, and it was very informative. Not much of a "content creator" here, but when I do one day upload an amazing project I have to share, these tips will help a bit. Thanks for the lesson!

decided to go all in and started my channel 2 months ago to finally do what i love - storytelling and cooking. as a new creator, there's been so many moments i've wanted to give up. it's videos like these that keep me inspired and motivate me to keep going. this was great. please keep pushing this out! and for anyone who's just starting out - whether it's a channel, a business, a degree, etc. - if you're feeling lost, i am too. would love to see you around!

I implemented the techniques you shared in settings 4, 5, and 6, and my shorts went from 0 views to 200+ views! While it may not be a substantial number, it's a promising start. Thank you for your insightful video

This is one of the most helpful videos I have found. Love that you not only talk about it, but show exactly what to do. Very Inspiring!

Dude I give you props I didn’t even know the “publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers “ button even existed but it makes perfect sense to organically drive new traffic to your page especially if you’re trying to pivot! I had a couple successful videos on a different topic then what my new videos are on and I feel the algorithm is definitely sidelining my new content due to my subscribers not choosing to watch the new content. Definitely a good catch man!

Wow, this was a real " BANG FOR YOUR BUCK " content ... what a density and clarity of information. I am a devout ThinkMedia, FilmBooth and Roberto Blake fanboy, but I do tip my hat to you sir. Big time !!! I will come back to your channel for sure !

Thanks for all the information. Also, keep going, everyone. I'm sure you all will grow much more!

Excited to see how these tips go for my channel in the next couple of months! Thank you! x

This whole algorithm thing is so annoying, because a lot of my viewers have been commenting, sad that the videos don't show up on their notifications anymore 😢 great video, sad times

Absolutely brilliant, while I already did some of this, I'd say over half this info was completely new to me. Thank you, well done and full of great info! Lets grow baby!!

Thank you for the helpful insights! Definitely going to apply them :)!

Just stumbled across your videos (now a subscriber!) Such engaging and informative content. Very impressed by the quality and the depth of insights you provide. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much, this really helps a ton! For other fellow new creators out there, stay inspired and keep pushing ✨❤️

I used to watch this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.

Thank you for explaining these settings to me bud there was a few i didnt even know existed lol :) glad ive managed to unlock thumbnails now id av been lost without that setting when it comes to uploading proper full length videos lol so yeah thank you again :) this is a great vid with clear explanations was so easy to follow step by step :)

Great tips! I've learned some of these the hard way, thank you for sharing

OMG! Thank you Marcus for creating such an informative and engaging video. I literally paused during segments and went to my channel to apply or revise some of the settings you mentioned. You're awesome. Keep doing what you're doing!👍

3:34 "Tips that helped me get over Crippling Constipation" 💀💀💀

Thank you so much for the info! The tons of settings are a bit intimidating

Absolutely amazing guide. Quick and straight to the point and provides actually helpful tips that most I didn't know about. Thank you so much for this!

Just FYI creative Commons license means that businesses get to use your content free as well. Licensing is a big part of the revenue stream for many creators. Definitely a big part of what I do. Not wise to release most content on a Creative Commons license.

Thanks for the guide! very simple and helpful 👍

I am just started last week. 70 subs and growing. Thanks for your video!

Just started my channel officially a little over a month ago. I've seen some incredible growth that I wasn't expecting to see so quickly! I am always looking for ways to improve my channel so I appreciate you posting this. At work right now but I will watch when I have time. Cheers and keep up the good work!

I appreciate all of the information left in this video! Definitely going to be using these tips to better our channel. We make various content primarily fluctuating between "Challenge" type videos and "Song Covers." I understand that niches are important with channels, and our team is debating making separate channels for the more "Entertainment" based content and the "Music" based content. We are still growing on 1 channel, but we feel the "lack of" a specific niche may be detrimental to our channel in the algorithm. Just curious as to what your thoughts are! Thank you!

Amazing video Marcus. Thanks for making such a valuable walk-through. Excellent editing and use of SFX and funny moments. Top notch stuff mate! Subbed.

THANKS FOR THIS! Because content creation has been ghetto especially trying to build a following on the KZfaq space!

Thanks for doing what you do mate, I will be applying these things going forward with my next few releases, and see how it goes! 👍

Thank you. This video was suggested to me. I have done KZfaq for about three years. I knew most of this but a few tips were helpful and good to review and update settings as I learn as I go. Subscribed. Thanks for the great content and tips!

I just had to stop and SUBSCRIBE before I even finish the video. You are a genius man, Thank you so much for sharing this with us

Thanks for the tips! Really helpful,didn’t know some of the things covered

Great tips man! Can't wait to apply them in my upcoming videos

Probably one of the best YT creation channels I have ever watched. This is what the more popular YTers don't share unless you pay them. Thank you for the insights and keep them coming.

Very useful information, Marcus. Thank you and congrats! 😀

Thank you so much for these very useful tips! I had already done some of these, but there were other settings that I changed per your advice. As a newer channel, I had discovered that, unfortunately, having KZfaq send out my videos to subscribers was detrimental, as I do have a little variety in my topics. Once I unchecked that box, I seemed to get more new viewers. So you are 100% right about that! I also love your delivery -- clear and straightforward with touches of dry humor. I have subscribed to your channel.

This was what I have been waiting for. A complete breakdown... Thanks man😊

The tips will help out a lot, thanks mate !

Thank you for this video, really helpful :D

This video is amazing! It was very helpful and informative!

Thank you so much for putting this out here, I have implemented all you said, and I have seen substantial improvement since then. I hope to learn more from you. ❤ love from Nigeria.

What a great video, thanks my Man! ✊✊✊

I have been watching so many videos like this and I feel like none have been more “beginner friendly”. Thank goodness this video was a real step-by-step guide! Thank you so much!

To everyone uploading videos.Please don't ever stop creating! Consistency is the key! If music is your passion we are here!

there were actually a few that i haven’t done yet this video was so helpful thank you!!

Just started my channel. Good luck on everyone else who is starting ❤

these are great tips for setting up a page! a lot of things I didnt know yet, thanks :)

My son and I have been wanting to start an outdoor channel and i am finally setting one up for us. This was incredibly helpful, thank you. Looking forward to bonding with my kid over our shared interest. 👍

Thanks a ton!! this video was really helpful 😊

Thank you so much for detailed information. Easy to follow and helpful!

Mate, sooo much great info here, thanks! Also, active style, dynamic video... as in NOT boring, haha. Cheers, I subscribed, too!

This is extremely useful for us! Wishing every small channel could potentially grow to a bigger one after watching this!

You've got this! 💪 Stay strong and keep moving forward. Believe in yourself and know that you're capable of overcoming any obstacle. 💫 Keep pushing, stay brave, and never doubt your strength. You've got what it takes to succeed! 🌟

Thank you so much for this video. I've been doing most of my channel on my Galaxy S10 and hardly worked on my laptop at all! The laptop and the mobile phone are 2 different worlds!

Great video, I implemented a lot of the setting changes. A couple months ago I decided to go all in with my channel and I have to say that it's been one of the best decisions I've made in such a long time, thank you

I have grown my channel over 8 YEARS and its a constant ever changing algorithm Thanks for the refresher even once your channel grows its good to be reminded to go check and uncheck new stuff youtube hoops that we have to jump through. It takes time and perseverance. My advice.. If at first you don't succeed try try and try again and again and again don't give up.

That first setting may have just saved my channel. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was actually a really useful video that provided real knowledge and insight into things. Thank you. Where is the link to number 10 the non-setting ninja stuff?

Thanks so much for this. Just subbed. Hope you get to 1 million this year.

Thanks again Marcus. I’ve had a decent amount of headaches since starting my gaming channel. You’ve streamlined the process and I can’t thank you enough!

hey man...thanks for all this info. I had most of it squared away but there were a couple i had no clue about. Now i can put out new videos and focus on content and not where YT is gonna drop them off at. Thanks again...your grateful sub -Sick

These were extremely useful tips, thank you so much! I would have never known otherwise; this helps a lot! I can't wait to finally start my channel!

Thank you for the tips!

I just started my KZfaq journey of creating movies, posted my first yesterday. This video definitely gave some good tips, thanks bratha! Cheers to the future

Such helpful tips! These are things I was actually doing wrong that I needed to go in and change! Thank you!

Very helpful video for someone setting up a channel. Thank you for the information!

I definitely already was doing a couple of these, but wow this is a great video, with a ton of important helpful info!

This video is incredibly helpful! Thank you Marcus. Watching your videos makes growing a channel much more engaging.

Yassss thank you so much! This is awesome!

These suggestions are really helpful! I would not have thought of these things. You rock!

Probably one of the most practical/useful youtube tips video i've ever watched. This can be useful for ANY content creator at any point of their carreer

With such motivational content, your channel is my source of energy and positivity! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that Marcus, I've had a 15 year break from IT to spend more time being outside but I'm now injured and awaiting surgery so I'm finally putting together all the footage I have of my adventures. A great video nicely presented in laments too so even an idiot like me could understand it. Thanks again

Just started youtube so thank you for these early tips!!❤️

This is one of the MOST USEFUL videos out there for small content creators like me. I am going to implement as many of these as possible. Thank you so much! ❤️
