วีดีโอ

Ive done TH-cam off and on for 4 years. I've only posted about 30 videos. I've had a few videos get 15k to 20k views, but yet I only have 349 subscribers.

I wanna see more videos about lifestyle but mostly about panama and living abroad and all the nitty gritties of relocating...

🎉 congrats! The stress of having a video perform way better is real😮its like expectations somehow change in your mind

Congrats!

your video lacks a clear idea for the audiance. i hope you state a clear hook or intro. Yo

You have a similar set up to me. I have another channel that is focused on a specific topic and is doing great. Then I have this channel that I've had since 2006 and it hasn't even cracked 1000 subs despite the fact that at different times I was making consistent videos for it. Part of the problem is not having any focus. Narrow down to at most three of your interests - that hopefully relate in some way. Then, at minimum, write good titles with strong keywords. 'TH-cam is hard' is a strong keyword, that's why that video got traction (that's how I ended up here). Keywords help TH-cam know who to show your videos to. Maybe don't put spaces between every letter in your title keywords either. Titles are important on TH-cam, don't waste them.

Cost of living and wage differences is always interesting!

This was cool! Salute & Respect from the 757 Virginia USA

152 days to go till the move! We need to start putting our ducks in a row little by little to have everything ready by the end of March. What aspects of the move would be interesting to learn more about?

Good video - I'm very new to creating content and your perspective is reassuring. I'm the opposite, I'm more comfortable scripting, but need to improve on being more natural with improvised content and being in front of the camera. Thanks for sharing.

yeah, figuring out the title before you make the video is one tip i don't use. i tried, but i ended up making my normal videos and then think of the best title that works with the content i've created.

Do you try to follow the "best practices" from the TH-cam gurus making or do you prefer exploring and finding your own way to do things?

Keep going, grow and learn. You've got this!

What's stopping you from moving abroad?

I haven’t been to Latin America yet, but do plan to go sometime hopefully next year. My husband is from Guanojuato, Mexico. I think you will be so busy and maybe a little over stimulated at first with all the action, colors, people, music! I think you will enjoy the differences, as you are preparing yourself mentally! Have you tried the Babbel app? I had it, but didn’t end up enjoying the learning experience with it, but people rave about it. You’ll meet lots of expats probably. Homesickness won’t show up for at least a year. I’m excited for your journey. My husband and I were planning on relocating to San Miguel to retire, but now he says he doesn’t want to go back. Travel is good, along with changes in lifestyle. If nothing else it makes you more flexible, creative and curious, and keeps you from getting old!😂

You are getting good views on your videos. That’s awesome

That sounds insane! I also worked full-time in my BA Program and went to school full-time, but I did hit a wall. I was sleeping 4 hours a night. I basically was brain-dead by the time I got to class. I remember my teacher in my Italian class asked me a question in Italian, and I answered in Spanish. 😮. Much respect for you treating it very seriously!😊BTW, watched the conference video and loved it! I know nothing about tech, but I thought all involved were so passionate and well-spoken, thoughtful people, I was in awe. Belgium also looked incredible! You are learning and applying so much, and it really shows! Good for you!🎉

You are a great confidant speaker ! I still am trying to get comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera ! Keep going you will get there !!!

Sub to your channel ❤lots of luck ❤

Hey brother let's hop on a call this is what I do for individuals and businesses!

G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 I'm a new youtube channel. Yes definitely a struggle since being on here. Mixed Variety Content. Some people seem to make it easy on TH-cam or no matter what they post gets so much attention.

Most people's channels blew up during the pandemic. The most successful ones are on multiple platforms and linked to TH-cam.

TH-cam is a lot harder than we think isnt it. I find that channels are only growing and videos only get suggested and watched if we are using promotions, as soon as i pause the promotion in my videos the views just stop completely, the whole thing comes to a complete freeze. it really is sad cause i know our videos yours included are pretty neat.

New subscriber here! I think you are doing great and will only get better. I’ve been at this 3 years and I still have a lot to learn myself. Keep it up, and I am looking forward to your Panama vlogs!

I can relate. I’m comfortable on camera, but seeing other people getting 1K subscribers on their first video (same topic) while I get 6. Currently I have 2 subscribers and 3 watch hours 42 views. This is from the last 2 weeks. I feel invalidated when no one watches, and I can’t figure out “what I’m doing wrong”. I really like your presence on-camera. Love your process! You’ll do great! Enjoy Panama!❤

Don't give up! I got over 100 videos with twice a week consistent post for the past 9 months but still no tangible results.

Great video and thumbnail! I sub'd and liked to help out. I am encountering the same things that you touch on as a new artist. Getting subscribers is no easy task with what I am experiencing, and I plan on pushing lots of new content just like you. I enjoyed listening to your story and look forward to the next one!

I am also still new and learning from everyone else and from you. Keep up the good work!! Well done! You are doing great!! I am also still finding it weird dealing with the sound of my own voice on the vlogs.

keep it up dont quit

Dude, you've got this! Just give it a little time, and a few tweaks to the titles and you'll be rolling :) Your delivery and everything is fine, you might want to tighten the editing (cutting out parts) just a little bit, but otherwise fine - the thing that *might* give a boost is focusing just a tiny bit more on what value the potential viewer might get from your videos. I started my channel around 6 months ago, not really with a clear goal (still don't have one) other than sharing the things I do to be able to make videos as cheaply as possible for my roller skate shop - and since I do a lot of DIY I started building things I need to make vids, like a keylight and stuff, and the tools I use to film and edit that I can't build (like a mic) -and documented that on my channel here for others to find and use to get their channel started. Right now I'm approaching 500 subs and 1500 watch time hours, so it's not exploding, but steady growth. If I where to give one piece of advice it would be to focus just a bit more on how your experiences might benefit others - like your video right here about how hard youtube is: If you where to tweak the title a tiny bit, and focus on how youtube is hard, *and* what you have done to do it, despite it being hard, *then* you all of a sudden communcate value to those who see the thumb and title, and they immediately can see the value. They might be in the same situation, and here is a video from a guy experiencing the same thing, *and* he's sharing his way of overcoming it. Suddenly the value is right there in the title :) So going forward, if you ask yourself what value other people can get from your experiences and what you do, and highlight those in the titles, and maybe in the thumbs if possible, and let that guide what you talk about in the videos, the value you offer becomes clearer, and it's easier for the potential viewers to understand the videos value to them, if they are in the same position :) Like you moving to another country, and not just like "next door" to sweden - Doing a couple of videos on what you have done to be able to move, like your tips on how to move to a completely different country far, far away, what to think about, small and big practical things - and not in a "here is the step by step guide", but your personal experiences and your thoughst around all the things one needs to do, would probably make for a great video, or several, focusing on different parts of the move, like one about your interactions and stuff that needs to be fixed in the country you move to, and stuff to do and fix in the country you currently live in, etc. Mixing these "practical" things with your personal way of talking about these things and thoughts around it would be great content, and offer value to potential viewers if the titles and thumbs manage to show this potential value to people who see your video in their feeds (or even search for stuff like "how to move to another country" or something similar. Good luck and looking forward to see how the channel evolves over time (and yes, I subbed, interested to see where this is going :)

To all of my 56 subscribers. THANKS a Lot!! I appreciate you and I'm gonna keep improving for y'all and me 🥰🙌 Today feels tough, but I’m leaving this comment as a future reminder that I stayed strong.

Small new creator here! You are succeeding, I watched this video all the way through and from what I see you ARE confident on camera and are providing value to me. Keep grinding, we got this ❤

I have 220 TH-cam videos and 924 subscribers and I'm ok with it. I hope I can get to 500 videos without 1k subscribers! That may be a record in TH-cam history 😂！

TH-cam is hard, but its definitely not all about the views! Martin had great advice for you in the comments below but otherwise I'll say keep doing this. There is so much more that YT can bring into your life, keep up the work - learn from each video, look at popular trends within your intended audience's world and see if you have 2 cents to add around that :) Good luck mate! definitely more than 60 or 8 views on this one :)

Bro it depends with your motivation i would encourage you to have a long term motivation

TH-cam is hard 😂 💯

"I haven't really got anywhere...." Mate you don't understand-your results are very good. It is much harder to get any one to notice you at all at the start and you are already well on the way to 100 subscribers. You'll find it is easier to get to 500 subs from 50 than it was to get the first 50. Try to think in terms of the growth of your audience rather than absolute numbers.

I'm subscribing to the channels of everyone that commented on this video just to support 😀
