Hi there, my name is Gareth Lamb and I build channels for profit. Channel Profits is about showing you how to make money on TH-cam while accelerating your channel’s growth. If you’ve been wondering how to make money online, then TH-cam is one of the best ways to generate semi passive income. Contrary to what many people think You DON’T even need to be in the videos. In fact you don’t even need to make the videos. Faceless channels are growing in popularity because of the TH-cam automation trend. You just hire people or use A.I tools to make videos and then monetise the views you get. It’s cheaper than paying for ads so it’s also perfect for businesses. So if you want to discover how to earn money online, generate free traffic and how to grow on TH-cam FAST, then you are in the right place.

good luck in the future mate.
I deleted all my old video when I tried to change niche, and it caused my channel deranked and my subscribers decrease no much view like before, but gradually my channel regrowing.
yeah deleting videos is risky as it affects your watchtime, views and audience. but glad it's growing
That’s exactly how I feel about subscribers. I don’t think they need to subscribe because TH-cam will keep feeding them your content if they like it. Problem is there’s you need 1000 subs do get monetized
It naturally happens anyways, just with more active subscribers.
Love this topic! Thank you!
I started my channel in 2017 and it's been a fun ride. I was able to scale it to have my wife and I quit our jobs to work on it full time.
I've had videos about credit cards, affiliate marketing, online jobs, remote jobs, side hustles, all go viral at certain points. But then I stopped posting for about 9 months on the channel. (This was 2020 or so)
I started posting back on the channel in 2021, but a much more niched down approach talking abotu blogging and affiliate marketing. Nothing I posted on the channel did well for about a year. Not one video over 1,000 views.
I always knew in the back of my mind that the old content would probably do well on the channel, but I had been burned out creating that type of content.
Well fast forward to Nov 2023 and I decided to jump back into the game of the channel. Starting in 2024, I hired an editor to prevent burnout and started creating content that I know would work well on the channel.
Well, it hasn't worked as well as I was thinking. Even though I have had one video that has gotten 20k views, the others have been lackluster.
Long story short, I've pretty sure I've confused the mess out of the TH-cam algo and believe I have an issue with a split audience.
So my question is... should I start a new channel or just keep pushing my way through until I force the algo to see me like it once had?
The channel has 61k subscribers and would rather not start from scratch unnecessarily. But I think the split audience is bogging down my stats and it's not hitting the thresholds to really get pushed by the algo.
That doesn’t sound like you have too different a niche. It sounds like a content idea and execution issue. I would refocus on what you think your channel avatar ultimately wants and how you can make your ideas and videos better. It’s also a competitive niche, but those views monetised in the right ways can be very lucrative. It’s not about big numbers of views but good quality views
My channel is monetize and now is not getting good views matter what I do , rebrand or keep working hard
It’s normally because of something you are doing, look at you videos, niche and strategy
I started this new channel after my old channel with nearly 30k subscribers started to bleed subscribers after I changed my niche (a couple times, yes a couple lol). I know subs are more of a vanity metric these days but it really hurts having to start over. My interests have just changed over time, hence the shift. Are there any good cases to try to reboot a channel or do you think it's not worth the effort?
unless it's vlog style and the audience are interested in you personally rather than the actual topic/niche. Then yes chances are most of your audiences won't be interested. You have to think of these as real people not subscribers. You can't force people to like what you like. They watched your content for a reason. You can slowly try to switch but you'll be losing them as fast as you get them. so up to you.
@@channelprofits that makes sense. It’s just difficult to accept. Thanks for the reply.
@@lee_squire no problem. Remember the better you get a YT the faster it is to grow channels.
Sir my Channel is about gaming documentry but now i switch to people's and blog category i upload two videos recently and i got view more than i expected so should i start the new Channel or this channel is good
if you are getting good views then stick with it
Thanks for the video!
In terms of the algo deciding to promote or not promote your videos, how do you think unchecking the "Publish to subscriptions feed and notify subscribers" checkbox on an old channel compares to posting a video on a new channel with no subs?
It doesn't really matter anymore. It's about current relevancy. it's why asking for subs is a waste of time. When you look at the data only about 1-2% of views on average come from subscriber notifications. And in most cases even less. I get about 0.5% on my channels. People watch what YT puts in front of them. If you are still showing interest in a channel and it's content then YT will keep pushing it to them. So i would only turn it off if you are reuploading and don't want to send subscribers another notification.
@@channelprofits Yes I might have noticed that yt still shows the video to some of the subs with this checkbox unchecked (my friend who is a sub told me), on the other hand one other subscriber who is a fan of the content, commented yt stopped showing the videos to him.
So I guess its both, which means unchecking that checkbox is really NOT the same as uploading to a new channel, unfortunately.
I got 7k subs on one of my TH-cam channels from TH-cam promotions but I still only get a few hundred views
I don't recommend promotions for organic growth.
Nice! Thanks for your insight 👍
glad it helped
I really have a problem about my niche... it's been two month that I stopped uploading videos, because I want to change my niche... and of course I'm working with a friend that he tags me on every video and I want to change my niches to his niches... what do you recommend... change my niches in this channel or start a new one... I don't have much subscribers just 270
If it’s a totally different niche and the current channel is dead then just start a new one
Thanks really useful video - so frustrating the way it works would probably just be better for me to start a new channel. How long do you think it would take to turn the scales and get a new audience? I feel like I'm making good content (I think at least), but the CTR is very low as it's getting pushed out to my old subscribers who subscribed for different content.
I have no idea, I know nothing about you are your channel. It can take just as long as growing a new channel, you just have to push through. Look at your watchtime numbers more than CTR
Hi, I started my channel as a lifestyle vlogger , talking about social matters etc. My channel reached 1.6k subscribers naturally and the views were good( they matched my subscriber count.
I started doing Asmr videos just to gain the remaining hours I needed (1k hours) so I get monitized.
(I then gained 1k subscribers from those Asmr content naturally.
But now that I’m monitized , Is it going to hurt my channel if I go back to my original niche ? Lifestyle content (because that’s what I’m passionate about).
I’ve slowly started posting lifestyle content on my shorts and the same Asmr people (some of them are viewing and commenting , not as much as the Asmr video but they are slowly watching the shorts.
Eventually I want to post my lifestyle content as long form videos.
It will probably hurt you a bit. Depends how many switch to the old content. YT is not a one size fits all game. But you may get away with more seen as the channel is more about you vs a fixed topic
@@channelprofits thank you so much. 👍
Hi, I have a quite specific question. I have gained a lot of subs from shorts (fortnite) but I realised this was a mistake, and now my channel is totally f.ked because my longform videos are not getting views or fortnite kids click off quick when I play different games. is there any way I can fix my channel to get more ppl who are interested in long form videos? (i don't want to start a new channel)
I mean there are growth strategies yes. But you will need to make more long form content and push through till YT finds the new audience and pushes long content more
Hey i have this account with 6.6k followers but was a lofi music channel a year or two ago . I am thinking of starting to upload regular TH-cam videos on sketches and painting. Should I do it on a new channel or should I continue in this same account. Please suggest.
I don't want to be rude, but did you watch the video? this is what it was about. Anyways you can continue using the same channel, but if it's a completely new niche then your audience probably won't watch the new content and it will slow growth. So up to you. If you are still unsure watch this video in full again and maybe the other rebrand videos on this channel as it will help. Good luck.
I have a question do lisa lena. Videos channel get monitized or not if i use my content only plz reply ❤😊
If original content and images then maybe, I’ve seen some. But I think it’s risky and can’t see it working long term. YT doesn’t like low effort content
I have been making videos on smartphones and tech gadgets for 5 6 years but now I'm loosing interest in making tech videos since I don't get good views althought the like dislike ratio is 90-10 which is extremely good from youtube average survey now I'm thinking of changing the channel name to more generic brand name that doesn't carry the tech specific flavor in it so i can experiment different things like vlogging and stuff. Pls suggest what to do. Much thanks in advane.
Hard for me to say more than I did in the video. I mean if you want to keep the channel with completely different topics it will just take a while to switch over to the new niche.
I watched a video on fair use and i really wanted an answer to this question.
You cant use other people's video content so freely, wat about uploading original movie trailers that are up to 2-3 minutes. Isnt it against the whole fair use thing, there is a channel that post movie trailers and it doesn't seem to be a trouble. How? Why?
Because it’s free promotion for them. They may even have permission as they are bigger channels. Not always the same for smaller channels. If you are giving some commentary and positive you may get away with it. People like good free marketing. But they may also have channels of their own and want to keep it just there. It’s a difficult one. Best option is to heavy repurpose and add value for fair use.
Good points.
Thanks!
Sir I have a channel of motivation. I changed niche and go for politics. Now TH-cam is not giving even 1 impression on my video. I uploaded 4 videos but nothing changed. SEO score was also good. What can I do please suggest.
Well it’s a pretty big niche switch. Generally not good to do that. You’ll have to push through. Just make sure your videos are not against the rules
@@channelprofits that's understandable
I have a TH-cam channel that's almost ready to make money. I uploaded a short video with a voice-over done by Artificial Intelligence, and it got millions of views, bringing me closer to monetization. If I mute the AI voice in all my videos and apply for monetization in TH-cam Studio, will my channel still qualify for monetization?
No idea it would depend on the video quality. But if you mute it YT will still be able to see it
I post editing videos but not getting views and my channel is still not monetized cuz i know you tube will be cancel my Monetization by saying that your content is copied or Already available on you tube i want to change my niche and Everything i want to re start my channel by deleting all the videos please help me to find a good content for my TH-cam channel and please provide me a good guidance 🙏🙏🙏 i want to grow and want to stand on my foots make my parents proud
Plenty of content on the channel
Hi, can I use your videos here in Brazil just by translating them into Portuguese?
No
Subscribers is a dead metric - I never asked verbally anyone to subscribe still I got 800 subscribers- and only 60 to 70 watch my content - nothing personal here - I am not watching any of the content which i subscribed to as I got busy - the same applies to them
Yep
Hi, i must put di links the original video for reaction channel or not ?
Depends, always good to give credit. But if fair use should cover it
@@channelprofits thank you Dear and where can I ask my next question in future?
I have arounf 2.8k subs monetized....will it be good idea to change the niche of my content... I make cybersecurity videos...i want to switch to stock market videos
Well, ask yourself this - If you were a subscriber of the current channel and enjoyed the content. Would you be interested in stock market videos? If the answer is no, or maybe a few will. Then you have your answer. Channels are not "one size fits all".
Does AI-generated content violate the content reuse policy? I hope you can answer me
No. Not currently. But needs to be good quality. And if you want to be safer long term create a bespoke one.
Does AI-generated content violate the content
Mine I have good subs but my views has slow down and stopped.
Maybe a good time to look at the video ideas and videos.
Hello sir, i want to change my YT niche, travel Channel into mukbang channel,my channel isn't monitize yet but if i change the niche then does it will affect in monitize or they will demonetize my channel?? Please help
No, you can change your niche anytime you like and it won't affect monetisation. But you may lose viewers and subscribers. just be sure any eating channels fall within YT ad polices
Very helpful video ❤❤❤
Appreciate from pakistan
Glad it helped
Thanks i am gonna stop telling my dumb viewers to subscribe
Instead im gonna tell them to like the video only
Yep waste of time. One call to action and only after delivering value. Like or to a product.
😎
ok
👍
❤❤❤

Dude, just answer the question. Stop lecturing us on if subscribers matter or not
lol calm down. What question are you referring to?
😂
This was so helpful!! Thank you! I think I will start a new channel. With almost 4000 subscribers do you think this would help or hinder me?
Sorry not really sure of the question? Depends on the niche, if it’s the same, dead etc
