You have given the most realistic description and expectations for KZfaqrs, excellent job!! It took 2 years to make my first penny and had 46K subscribers, my view time was lacking, until I dedicated the time to do shorts (that was 3 months ago) if people don’t enjoy making videos without receiving compensation, they WILL FAIL! this is not an overnight magic trick.

I uploaded 5 videos which got 0 view for almost a month. I constantly checking . Then I stop and just do what i love. I continue to write script to make videos even if noone is watching. Then all of the sudden, 1 out of my 5 videos got over 500 view. Then other video kept gettin view. It’s fascinating and I’m happy a few people like the videos.

( Until they seem to all change their minds every five weeks and go with the "out with the old and in with the new" methods ).

On the one hand I get you because it's literally all about hooks, titles, thumbnails etc., on the other hand I get them - a majority of viewers are new and aren't subscribed every time we post so they always cater to newer audiences. Some people need to hear things again and again to take action.

I like the fact that you've mentioned that one should just be uniquely oneself! There are too many copycats out there and it's getting bored to watch the same old themes/stuff. However, I'm struggling to get more views and subscribers after noticing my videos seem to be appeared on odd/irrelevant suggested videos on KZfaq. Not sure if it's something you've experienced before.
@Kingeducates 23 сағат бұрын
1. You don't have enough long-form videos for YT to have enough data to figure out your audience, try posting another 30 videos in the same topic. 2. It might be because of shorts, watch Evan Carmichael's How to Start Making REAL MONEY on KZfaq (works for all niches) - he talks a little bit about this

Returning to that original content is already boosting my views again and I’m closing in on 4k. Keep it up, imo you have the right attitude and understanding of what it takes for sustainable success

Good stuff. It's an interesting ride. Suggestion - lots of echo in there. Hang a sheet behind the camera to kill echo from that direction, get something on the walls as well. Windows are hard - you want to view but glass reflects sound big time. Just some observations from a guy whose audio gets overwhelmed either by cicadas or traffic noise.
