Hi Nick! Your content is exellent and really high value, but I have an unique question. I started my adventure as an youtuber not long time ago, and Im taking it seriously. The thing is, Im uploading videos regularly and want to grow my channel, but I dont want to become full time youtuber, whos main income comes from yt. Is it possible to maintain chanel growht only with part-time dedication to it, and if so, should people like me use other strategies to maintain their chanel development? I hope there is a hope! 😃
Good luck to anyone starting a channel! My advice is to stay patient. I gave up too soon on my channel due to poor performance, but thinking back, I really regret it
@@hatchali6765 You are right, I shouldn't have quit. I gained about 160 subscribers in the first 3 weeks, which I felt was very slow (after seeing the analytics of big content creators. Above that, my friend's channel gained almost twice of my sub count in a single day). I also spent so much time and effort on my videos (especially the drop tests), which got very expensive and was unsustainable given the fact that my channel didn't pull in nearly enough views to pay it back. Even if I was monetized, spending over $500 on drop tests would not pay back unless I got over 500,000 views. I ended up getting 300 views. - This is why I got very discouraged and quit. As I found out more about the platform, I realized that this channel really could have had potential. Maybe I'll consider restarting although my few subscribers probably don't even remember me anymore
Noticed u tube is put my vids out in different places to see where it fits in. Over time the algorithm figures you out then it puts you where it thinks viewers are. Great video.
Just looked at the creatormix. Mate... i am speechless. Well done! Great music. I will mention creatormix in any of my videos using music. Massive THANKS!
Thank you. Your videos help keep me on track. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm always studying ways to get better. I wake up every day thinking of how to better my previous video
This is why you're on a very short list of TH-camrs I watch faithfully. Your tips have gotten my views up, watch hours, and subscribers are finally start to go as well. Thank you as always and can't wait for more!
Loved the video! Its a very hard job to grow a small channel especially getting so little traction. I have a few videos that got a 1000-2000 views but then it stops and dont get anything else like subs. Still gonna keep grinding!
Great tips Nick. Our "theme" is Family Vlog and we do post basically whatever and yes some videos do meh and others do more meh. We are growing slow but still want to stay as a family vlog.
The multi-themed approach rings true here… I’ve been trying to pivot to new ideas, but it’s disheartening to see views down 90 percent from a year ago.
I have started 3 weeks ago with an idea to do gaming videos BUT the more i began paying with the software and experiencing the time constraints due to life, 8 - 5 work, family, my focus changed and people like you, make the learning experience less painful. Thank you.
This stuff is golden. I just started out and it really re-enforces my decision to focus my channel content around motivating people, rather than everything else I'm also passionate about too. Thank you, Nick!
As a new youtube creator I've found some really helpful tips which I will apply to my channel. A great thing too is my enthusiasm and fun in creating them.
Thanks Nick.... I have these 4 points under control, but it's definitely good to refresh those ideas once in a while and think about what I am doing and if I'm straying from that at all.... complacency kills!
im starting to build a *trust* on your channel because your videos are *well made* and *calm* so viewers can understand not just that they are very *informative* and i LOVE IT! : )
Nick, you legend! Another great video! I’m back on the TH-cam mission after some time away, so glad to see this upload. Super helpful as always. Thank you.
Mindset is KEY. You can sit there and complain or go for what you want. Easier said than done for sure. Totally agree on improving skills too so you aren't stagnant. Great video as always! :)
Another fantastic video! Highlights the importance of determining a person's motivation for creating a channel in order to manage your expectations of results. Thank you, Nick and please keep these excellent videos coming!
I agree totally! Alot of people want shortcuts and quickfixes! - You can clearly tell a channel run by someone thats passionate and put in the extra effort. 👍
I found your analogy about targeting the audience very helpful. Putting the audience first & having a direction for your intended audience is a game changer. Thanks for the helpful information as always Nick!
This is making me think more intently on my purpose with my channel. I might be doing 2 or 3 completely different things. Retro media content is the main course. But I'm compelled to put my original things out there as well. Comedy and Music. I will have to start another seperate channel to specialize in different stuff.
Love your advice on how you should research where your people hang out on the internet. This is a great way to figure out which platform your should be extending your content to and what forms of content your viewers like.
I definitely agree with always getting better at your craft. I used to not even edit and now I always try to add something new to videos. Definitely still have a long way to go tho lol.
Hi Nick, I've been watching and following along. Just passed 1000 subscribers, got into "buy me a coffee", got merchandise store up, will be in the partner program after review, just got into "share a sale", already in Amazon, thanks for all the advice! The ride continues...
I have a question, because we interview many guests throughout the entertainment industry from actors, artists, athletes & authors, can that be a theme that works where it is just entertainment focused? We have a couple video ideas we will be starting in the next 2-4 weeks that also involve entertainment in general. Can this theme work on a broad scale? We love all the interviews we do. Our tagline is up close & personal. We love to hear the raw stories of the guests throughout entertainment, their triumphs and struggles in chasing their entertainment dream.
Thank you Nick for taking the time to produce quality videos that are enjoyable to watch. I took two pages of notes. I try to take two days out of the week to "skill up" so I really connected with your emphasis on this topic. I registered my TH-cam channel, Path of Prophecy in the summer of 2020 and finally started downloading my sermons for content in September 2021. I now have 32 subscribers. I'm really enjoying this way of doing gospel ministry. Thank again for your work!!!
I already have a clear idea of who I'm trying to reach with the type of content I make. It's just the matter of being motivated to make videos. As of late, I've been stuck in this vicious cycle of not feeling the need to make videos, and it slows down the activity on my channel. I haven't posted in almost 2 months, and I wish there was a way for me to become more motivated. I really do appreciate the tips, however. So thanks for sharing these with us, Nick :) Oh, and I laughed when you were flailing your arms over to the left side of the video, nearing the end, so thanks for the giggles xDD
Great analogy and examples. It’s sometimes very easy to get lost and not have a great grasp of who my target audience is. I am still figuring it out and try to make that momentum work for me. Thank you for the useful tips.
One thing I've been considering is making a second gaming channel on top of my first. I rarely see gaming creators do this. If both channels make content around completely different genres though. I think it would be better for my total growth.
Tons of people do this. From the League of Legends scene alone at the top of my head: I did it (cowsep gaming), Zwag TC did it (Zwag Xerath), Pianta did it (Piantwo), Heizman did it, GamingCurios did it, Bunnyfufuu did it, as well as others I'm sure I'm forgetting. I imagine other games have tons more people that do it. Its a good idea because it keeps your content consistent but you don't want to get burnt out.
Targeting my audience is my number one issue. I have no idea who my target audience is nor do I really understand exactly how to determine who that is nor do I know how to specifically target a particular type of viewer, mainly because I don’t know who I am even trying to reach.
Seems like a simple question but it’s not. 90% of my views come from non-subscribers. So I’m trying to figure out the same thing. Who is it that watched 4 of my videos in a row the other night but has no interest in subbing?
The target audience is the reason you make content - it is who you make content for. You decide who that is and make content for them, Your content doesn't lead you to them, your target person/audience leads you to the right content to create. Making content randomly around a loose idea only leads to mixed results.
I love seeing comments telling me that people are only coming to my channel for Shark Tank. But my subscriber count keeps going up. 😎 Great advice Nick, as always!!
I am not the niche. I am a grain of sand on a beach. I am still learning what the channel is. I just don't want to be a cookie cutter of someone else's idea. It is tough, but I press on. GOB!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
Nick, I just love your content. I've learned so much from you. I'm about ready to start my own youtube channel. I have minimal equipment but I'm going to start anyways. Do you offer any classes or courses?
These are some really good tips, especially the one about improving your content. Iv only made a few videos but already feel Iv made a few improvements and look back and see things that I want to change and improve on for next time!
I think that one of the most important things for a successful video is the topic. If there is low demand for a topic, but also very low amounts of videos posted about this topic, it seems to make it easier for small TH-cam accounts to gain larger views. I feel this way because one of my videos (about a drum speaker) gained 2.3k more views than average. This had the same thumbnail type and titling method, but the keywords and topic was different. - And as a small channel, I averaged around 300 views. Has anyone else also experienced such a dramatic view boost from a certain topic?
I think my biggest problem is trying to have it all together before actually posting a video. I literally went out and purchased a business binder to keep myself organized and have a clear schedule of what I'll be filming and when, I've created my thumbnails already as well as my channel banner, researching sponsorships and brand deals that relate to my niche. The list goes on. I think I've stressed myself out. I don't want to say I take it too serious because it is serious but I need to loosen up. I know you mentioned don't go into with a "I'll see what happens mentality" but I might need to so I can relax a bit. Still watching your videos and taking notes :-)
Start publishing. If you know the type of content you want to make start doing it. The best way to learn is by doing the thing. Every day you wait to start is a day longer it’s going to take you to reach your goals. Planning is important but taking action is most important.
I know what you mean... Make 20 videos... Everything done... Ready to upload.. All sitting on a harddrive .. with at least one backup stored somewhere else... Once you have done that.. Binge watch... Some bits might be a bit cringey but nothing drastic... Then upload it all and set unpublished... Leave a day.. for YT to look at them.. Then publish max 3 a day... With a few held back to keep you ahead... Put together your playlists etc... And most importantly.. Have fun....
Also before you start uploading... Set up YT using a non public email address.. and get.. IG, (IG is useful for people to contact you) FB, Twitter etc all in same channel name.. including a public email in same name this is for contacting suppliers etc....
I agree with both responses Darlin, I've been thinking, doing all the other stuff, and posted 2 "test" videos and became frozen...honestly, JUST START TODAY... my biggest hang up became having all the gear, then how long it takes for make up hair, BUT after now months and over a year of research, I can tell you this... I should of just used my phone, did the thumbnails, and banner and went, daily, weekly , whatever. Monetization will come, just POST... I really struggled with my editing and wanted to be like these top folks.. so I finally...just hired a fun VA for my editing ..done...he gets the direction I am going, and now finally after "watching 1000 yt videos" and DL every new software I saw someone use...for get it....JUST POST.... I am finally regrettably starting my channel in 1 week, with the help I needed, and SHOULD OF JUST POSTED 18 mos. Ago...do it girl you got this
I still struggle to decide the path of my channel. The old stuff gets the views but hasn't converted viewers into buyers. The new content has a better chance of generating money (aside of AdSense) but I'm not getting the views.
Hi Nick, i hope you are fine, i can't think of a word how ro describe but what you are saying is really makes sense to me a lot, and i am really greatful that its like you are guiding me in a way with your advices, i know it's difficult but things is really going well i think in my process to be in the right track in YT. I just want to express my appreciation and i hope that you have a great day.
Spot on as always Nick. Agree 100% with everything you said - especially the "why am I waving my hands over here off the screen?" 🤣😅 That gave me a good chuckle this morning. The more I put your knowledge to work in my channel, the better I succeed. Thank you.
Thank you Nick for the reminders on what we should and should not be doing. I always feel like you are talking directly to me - I am sure others feel the same and can relate. Great video as always :)
Idk why but the "I am the niche" part made me laugh so hard 😂 This is definitely the main reason my previous 6 channels failed lol took a long time to learn.
Thank you Nick, Great Info how to target the audience. Hope i can follow your instraction well. God Bless everyone watching this Video we are all very Bless.
Hi Nick! So I post cooking videos, but 1-3 times a year I go on vacation and do silent vlogs and film the food I eat and the activities I do, besides that it’s all cooking videos. Would you say that uploading 2 out of 52 videos that are travel related is being out of niche? I’ve been really wondering lol, thanks for your help 😃
Ways you can destroy your channel; 1. How you think about TH-cam. 2. Not thinking about about your audience. 3. Not working on your skills to improve. 4. Not having a theme(niche)
To learn more about TH-cam I have a ton of videos to help you. You can find them here th-cam.com/users/NickNimminvideos

Good luck to anyone starting a channel! My advice is to stay patient. I gave up too soon on my channel due to poor performance, but thinking back, I really regret it
I just saw some of your stuff, why did you give up? get yourself a good used microphone and your good to go

Lamo. I must truly suck if you think this is bad. I’m trying to hit 50 subs after 10 months and over 200 videos.
Just started getting 200+ views a day after watching some of your videos and experimenting new ideas,watching your videos have really helped.
Nice work Paul!
I discovered your channel when I was about 50 or so subscribers, but now am 490 . Thank you for always being there .
👊 🤓
Thanks for always bringing helpful information to your viewers. I always need these reminders.

Glad you like them, Calister!
I am really working hard on my channel applying all am learning from you Nick hopefully am trying am still waiting for your review
Noticed u tube is put my vids out in different places to see where it fits in. Over time the algorithm figures you out then it puts you where it thinks viewers are. Great video.
👊 🤓
Yeah man you got me on that one; that they're there for the content 😁 good one Nick. I enjoyed it as always. Much success 👋👊
I pretty much know most of this nice to get a refresh, bit shocked your still trying to get better Nick good way of thinking
If we're not striving to get better, then what's the point?
Just looked at the creatormix. Mate... i am speechless. Well done! Great music. I will mention creatormix in any of my videos using music. Massive THANKS!
Please do!
This is the way.
Good job and spot on as always!
This is the way.
Tip 1. Those days of hoping you succeed are over. You have to work hard and be focused.
Great advice bro.
Yep!
Thank you so much. This video come up at the right time that I'm struggling. This helps me to figure out what I should do.
Thank you. Your videos help keep me on track. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm always studying ways to get better. I wake up every day thinking of how to better my previous video
Thank you for having your youtube channel because they make me know what you need for my youtube channel.😄😄😄

Have really messed my channel big time because I keep on mixing my theme thank you Nick I needed this
Loved the video! Its a very hard job to grow a small channel especially getting so little traction. I have a few videos that got a 1000-2000 views but then it stops and dont get anything else like subs. Still gonna keep grinding!
The ups and downs are crazy with TH-cam. I think just keeping a healthy perspective is the hardest part.
So true!
Should make a video solely on how creators can find their audience and know what their audience want
Noted, thank you!
NICK MAN WE RELAY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GOOD THINGS YOU ARE DOING
👊 🤓
Great tips Nick. Our "theme" is Family Vlog and we do post basically whatever and yes some videos do meh and others do more meh. We are growing slow but still want to stay as a family vlog.
I love all the information😍you really good at this 🤩thank you soo much for sharing ….really appreciate
Thanks 🙏
As a beginner, watching your content I am learning.thank you.
I bought Camtasia based on your recommendation and very happy with it! I like its full features for screen record and captions etc.
I’m glad you’re liking Camtasia!
Super helpful tips for me as a new TH-camr, thank you! Looking forward to growing and thriving on my channel ✨
The multi-themed approach rings true here… I’ve been trying to pivot to new ideas, but it’s disheartening to see views down 90 percent from a year ago.

Lol. Thanks.
Yes

Hey Asten! Welcome back man!!!!
Mindset is KEY. You can sit there and complain or go for what you want. Easier said than done for sure. Totally agree on improving skills too so you aren't stagnant. Great video as always! :)
"Mindset is key" so true Avneet.
Always such solid advice. Thanks!
Hey Kevin! Thanks for stopping by!
Another fantastic video! Highlights the importance of determining a person's motivation for creating a channel in order to manage your expectations of results. Thank you, Nick and please keep these excellent videos coming!
👊🥳
I agree totally! Alot of people want shortcuts and quickfixes! - You can clearly tell a channel run by someone thats passionate and put in the extra effort. 👍

now i know my mistake.Thank you a ton nick❤️

Love your advice on how you should research where your people hang out on the internet. This is a great way to figure out which platform your should be extending your content to and what forms of content your viewers like.
Thanks so much bro, tryna grow in the community my self
Thx Nick for teaching me alot !
i got to 3.5k subs in a year and a half because of you.
keep doing what you're doing.
Nice work! Keep it up! 👊🤓
Great tips! The second one is key because you can blindly do do do, and not consciously improve. This applies to literally everything in life.
Absolutely!
True
I definitely agree with always getting better at your craft. I used to not even edit and now I always try to add something new to videos. Definitely still have a long way to go tho lol.
Thanks will definitely be implementing all your helpful advice!
Great information as always. This stuff is priceless! Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the tips Nick.🙏🏽💕
Any time!
Hi Nick, I've been watching and following along. Just passed 1000 subscribers, got into "buy me a coffee", got merchandise store up, will be in the partner program after review, just got into "share a sale", already in Amazon, thanks for all the advice!

I figured some niches would have creators doing it. Good to know that it has been successful for them 😀
As a beginner, to get 1000 subs isn't easy. The competition on TH-cam is going crazy now.
I feel like I always learn something when I watch you.

The key question is what are YOU passionate about? If you're not truly interested in the topic, it will show and people won't connect.
The target audience is the reason you make content - it is who you make content for. You decide who that is and make content for them, Your content doesn't lead you to them, your target person/audience leads you to the right content to create. Making content randomly around a loose idea only leads to mixed results.

Great video Nick! Very helpful as always!
I just watched the video you posted about this from years ago 😆. Im glad you have more content to help newer youtubers like me out.
Glad I could help!
true, mans spittin facts n it actually helps
Hey Nick, what kind of tube lights Are those in the background? Looking for solid recommendation, Thanks!
I am not the niche. I am a grain of sand on a beach. I am still learning what the channel is. I just don't want to be a cookie cutter of someone else's idea. It is tough, but I press on. GOB!!! Have a great weekend everyone!!!!
Your videos are very helpful. I only came upon your channel today and already I'm binge watching the videos and learning a lot. Thank you so much
Glad you like the videos!
Key leaning is..
learn and improvise.
All points noted📝
Thank you Sir
Nick, I just love your content. I've learned so much from you. I'm about ready to start my own youtube channel. I have minimal equipment but I'm going to start anyways. Do you offer any classes or courses?

I know what you mean...
Make 20 videos...
Everything done...
Ready to upload..
All sitting on a harddrive .. with at least one backup stored somewhere else...
Once you have done that..
Binge watch...
Some bits might be a bit cringey but nothing drastic...
Then upload it all and set unpublished... Leave a day.. for YT to look at them..
Then publish max 3 a day...
With a few held back to keep you ahead...
Put together your playlists etc...
And most importantly..
Have fun....
Also before you start uploading...
Set up YT using a non public email address..
and get.. IG, (IG is useful for people to contact you) FB, Twitter etc all in same channel name.. including a public email in same name this is for contacting suppliers etc....
Monetisation use another secret email address...
I agree with both responses Darlin, I've been thinking, doing all the other stuff, and posted 2 "test" videos and became frozen...honestly, JUST START TODAY... my biggest hang up became having all the gear, then how long it takes for make up hair, BUT after now months and over a year of research, I can tell you this...
I should of just used my phone, did the thumbnails, and banner and went, daily, weekly , whatever. Monetization will come, just POST... I really struggled with my editing and wanted to be like these top folks.. so I finally...just hired a fun VA for my editing ..done...he gets the direction I am going, and now finally after "watching 1000 yt videos" and DL every new software I saw someone use...for get it....JUST POST.... I am finally regrettably starting my channel in 1 week, with the help I needed, and SHOULD OF JUST POSTED 18 mos. Ago...do it girl you got this
Great tips Nick! Your channel is very informative and inspiring. Thank you for all the efforts.
Thanks for watching!
This is the best advise. It really sums up everything needed to do better.
Dont give up everyone! TH-cam can be hard, but it not impossible. Don't lost faith! Keep going!
Thank you, I needed to hear that friend.
@@FromPeloToYourHeart your welcome 🙏
I love your videos they help so many people including myself!!
I still struggle to decide the path of my channel. The old stuff gets the views but hasn't converted viewers into buyers. The new content has a better chance of generating money (aside of AdSense) but I'm not getting the views.
Hi Nick, i hope you are fine, i can't think of a word how ro describe but what you are saying is really makes sense to me a lot, and i am really greatful that its like you are guiding me in a way with your advices, i know it's difficult but things is really going well i think in my process to be in the right track in YT. I just want to express my appreciation and i hope that you have a great day.
Nick love the info so i will try to target my audience on content they love to see. and try to learn how to add a theme to my video.
Glad you enjoyed it Ron!
Spot on as always Nick. Agree 100% with everything you said - especially the "why am I waving my hands over here off the screen?" 🤣😅 That gave me a good chuckle this morning. The more I put your knowledge to work in my channel, the better I succeed. Thank you.
Hey Scrapper!
@@ScullyPop HOWZIT?
Thank you Nick for the reminders on what we should and should not be doing. I always feel like you are talking directly to me - I am sure others feel the same and can relate. Great video as always :)
Totally agree. You're doing great Nick
👊 🤓
Idk why but the "I am the niche" part made me laugh so hard 😂
This is definitely the main reason my previous 6 channels failed lol took a long time to learn.
Thank you Nick, Great Info how to target the audience. Hope i can follow your instraction well. God Bless everyone watching this Video we are all very Bless.
Great stuff as always. Just Started My Channel. Inspiration Came From Watching Your Videos. Will See How It Goes Thanks man!
Hi Nick! So I post cooking videos, but 1-3 times a year I go on vacation and do silent vlogs and film the food I eat and the activities I do, besides that it’s all cooking videos. Would you say that uploading 2 out of 52 videos that are travel related is being out of niche? I’ve been really wondering lol, thanks for your help 😃
Really good, informative video! Stay consistent everyone. A channel doesn't grow overnight!
Ways you can destroy your channel;
1. How you think about TH-cam.
2. Not thinking about about your audience.
3. Not working on your skills to improve.
4. Not having a theme(niche)
Great Tips as always Nick! 👍🙋♀️& Fun Upbeat Presentation too! It’s not just the Content, I come back to Watch You. Thanx~ You’re the Best! 🙏❤️🌎🌈
🙏 Thanks Linda.
Great advice as always Nick!
👊🥳 Thanks for swinging by Andrew!
