I've been using TH-cam to just upload random things from games, and even streamed some. Didn't get many subs and gave up. Lately though, I've been actually trying this time. Clipping, trimming and mixing together, even made an intro with what I can, thanks to your little rocket league clip video I have gotten better at editing thankfully even over the week or so. I will seriously be binging your videos just to try getting bigger. I do not want my face (mainly because I do not own a good camera, nor money to spend on one) Thank you for your videos
I’ve been doing TH-cam for almost 7 years. I’ve accumulated over 20,000 views in total with all my videos. I’m just now getting consistent because of my time in the military (I am still active). Finding the consistency was one of the biggest problems for me when I came back to doing TH-cam back in 2022. But I feel like I am doing better now. I got a good setup, I’m steady figuring out ways how to improve my videos rather it being edits or quality in general. The energy I put in my videos is 10 out of 10 (me personally). I just want to show the world how entertaining I can be with the videos I put out. Thank you midnight man for the tips & things of that nature. I know one day I’ll be known for entertaining people across this platform. It’s not a race, it’s a marathon. I won’t never lose faith in it.
@@ShinobiMarq Bro I understand, don’t lose faith & grind hard. Just like the military wanted us to self-improve ourselves, this is the time to show it. We got it bro I promise you. I’ve had plenty of nights where I’m like “Damn, I’m giving it all I got & no one notices.” But yet I’m worrying about the “now” when I should worry about the future. This world has billions of people who search on here to find content/entertainment. Hopefully they would find us as great gaming content creators. We got it bro!
Was absolutely amazing. Did not even see it coming. It played natural and did not feel like an ad ( i skipped forward). NordVPN is all over! But just amazing flow...

Wow what a pleasant surprise, did not expect to be mentioned in this video 😂. Totally agree with what you said and I stopped the let’s play a few months ago bc my viewership dropped. Realised I messed up pretty bad 😅 Getting back to what I used to do now, hopefully can start bringing the views back up! Always appreciate you reviewing my channel at the start of the year and giving me some great advice, and helping start my journey off as a TH-camr. Another amazing video 🔥
That's because niche gaming is hit or miss. What works for one person isn't true for everyone. You're better off playing the games you like and focusing on creating a community.
Great video man. Consistency is key, treating it like a side hustle and actually putting in work is definitely what’s most important. Can’t just expect the numbers. Trial and error for a few months even years will weigh you down but keep going
Thank you midnightman! i'm currently starting my youtube channel professionally and i've been so overwhelmed but also very excited. this video definitely confirmed a lot of my questions and cant wait to embark on this journey.
A no brainer tip I would add is to just stick with it. You never know which video will be the one to pop off and really launch your channel. It's a learning process though. You'll fail a few times sure, but that doesn't mean you should give up.
@@DragomirGamingmy advice would be make something on a new topic that’s trending and make it unique so it sets you apart but you still get the mainstream traffic
Lol exactly. It also came into my mind and I asked myself, WTF does this guy has even experience with gaming when saying such a shit? Entire video destroyed just by that. 😆 Shows that you just have to behave like knowing what you say without really knowing what you say.
@@JoseMorenoElPiolo unless I am blind, I don’t see any Mario kart in this video. And even if there was then why say what he said? Just giving flat out dumb advice or reiterating basic information most people already know.
@@JoseMorenoElPiolo Ok, I have not watched the video any further at this point. Why does he then say such a thing that makes no sense or better to say is simply just wrong?
It’s been less than a month starting this YT Gaming channel and the love the community has shown is amazing❤ appreciate the subs and views you get instead of getting sad over the ones you don’t have
thanks for your vid!! My struggle is definitely finding a way to niche down in gaming.. I really want to do more gaming lifestyle content that incorporates occasional gameplay, but I constantly go in and out, unsure of what to do.
Looks like you’ve dipped around from reaction, to gaming, to vlogs. Lifestyle gaming content, especially with the live events and tying that back to actual games might be something to look at. Just make sure the games you cover have that audience crossover. NBA 2K and apex don’t go together for example
Been doing TH-cam for 10 years now. Only recently being consistent but still for 10 years. Haven’t even broken over 60 subs yet, but I’m having fun with it and my editing skills are getting better. Thank you for the video, a lot of helpful tips in here.
I just started a TH-cam channel and uploaded my first video. I winged it and looking back it was a big mistake. Gonna start recording my platinum playthrough of Demon's souls this week, really excited
I'm really learning a lot in my TH-cam career. my first videos were bad when I started, but overtime I definitely have improved! I don't plan on deleting any of my bad videos cause I wanna see how much I've improved and hopefully inspire my future audience too!
Thanks for making this video. I started a channel 5 years ago, and my most viewed video got over 14k, It made me feel great, but i lost my confidence and stopped making content. It has bothered me for years that I stopped, so I've decided to start up again and been working on getting my work station set up again. Thanks for your tips and motivational vibe!
I'm from Brazil, but I ended up finding your videos and I really like the way you share your knowledge, in a clear and understandable way, without misleading your audience and in a way that gives real advice. Thank you! I'm still learning and experimenting here on TH-cam :)
I just want to say thank you for making this video. I’ve made a most of these mistakes and I appreciate you making me realize these problems. Now I have things to work on
W video!. Thank you for the advice. I want to start this journey of content creation for youtube, so this was very educational and well put together. Imma have to rewatch it again.
I'll admit, my channel is more community driven but I like it that way. I like the idea of the community deciding what games I play and they help me get better at it.
Good Luck to all us small Content Creators! Been doing this now for 3 Yrs. Great Video brother! I just Love doing what i do, Money being involved its just a bonus I've Streamed Consistently everyday for over 3 yrs now, and i love every minute of it!
I’m definitely guilty of some of these things. But I love video games. I love sharing them. I do like making tip videos and helping people out when my videos are watched. I stopped my channel then restarted so I’m trying to get back to it now and building a setup
3rd video I watched from you. You've answered soo dam many questions I've thought. And I have watched so many videos and you hit the nail on the head and it's concise. Appreciate it.
Good advice. Started my channel recently, and have been struggling to get into the game. Just trying to figure out editing and getting content together haha. I figure the vintage games I play aren't hot right now, but getting there ;).
It's ok if it's not hot, as long as there is an audience looking for the content you'll have growth opportunities. And TBH, you'll grow better off content that is not oversaturated 😀
This is a really good video, and some points you've mentioned are things I am guilty of myself. Specifically comparing myself to others, such as much larger gaming channels who focus on the no commentary gameplay as I do, and being disappointed in their content which leads me to ask why people watch their stuff when it's clearly subpar. Not to say that I think I am better than anyone, but more that I am putting in effort into what I am producing, and wondering why I am not picking up these subscribers / viewers. In any case, creating videos on TH-cam is very fun, and trying to find your niche to stand out in a saturated space is a challenge but can be very rewarding.
Depends on the algorithm in some instances, and in how new your channel is. Also, it depends on their viewer base. Their established members will likely watch them over anyone else if the content is comparable. Trust. Relationship. Guy has been watching Tuber for 6 years and will not easily start watching a new channel with the same content. People might watch 3 channels with the same content, max. Build your own viewer base. Those viewers are more likely to bring in viewer bases from other creators. Be yourself. Always. Go nuts. Be introverted. Be special. Be you. (I am not used to talking when playing games. Yes, i talk. Mumble to myself and talk nonsense, but i am not used to talking to people who are physically not there). I talk more watching an episode of Resident Alien.
But, also take into account that you can learn a lot from established creators and their viewers bases. Learn what you have to do while being yourself to improve your content. After that, all you can do is wait. (Not sure if you are allowed to do polls concerning other creators. Could ask youtube viewers why they love content from these creators.)
Very helpful video and gave me a little more motivation too! Just getting started and I posted my first short about five days ago (just a video I moved from my TikTok page) and it's already sitting at 2.2k views! After posting consistently, some are getting the same amount of traction and the subscribers are slowly coming in within DAYS! Consistency is KEY!! We got this guys! 🔥
you have always just left a warm feeling in my heart each video after video... and the LAST TIP in this video !!! bought a tear to my eye lol sorry for being mushy about it but it keeps us small youtube creators going it really does !! thank you so much for all you create
They’ve also been doing TH-cam for manyyyy years. They are far more established than someone new creating content. Over saturation today has caused a shift in how a gaming channel can be best grown. You won’t find new big channels that have grown in the last 1-3 years doing variety, it’s extremely difficult today to do it like that.
Just started TH-cam like a month ago it's always been a dream for me to do I'm going to keep at it I enjoy making my content even if it does not work out thanks for the tips man.
One thing I’m doing that goes against these tips is that I’ve been posting videos of different games so far, but it’s mostly for practice. I’m enjoying the process, learning more each day, and hopefully with time I’ll find my niche
Thanks for content. I've tried a game channel before, but it's always failed. My motivation and willpower were broken. But this video was good for me!!! Starting again!
Yea man, I'm guilty of some of these things, but as I go I'll learn. I won't give up. I wish I was in that evaluation of my game channel, but I think I'm getting an understanding of it. Thanks again
this was very informative! Im getting into streaming and all of these tips of what not to do, i do 😆 so this was nice to hear and pin point what exactly i need to change. I only stream and post clips on social media right now until i get my desktop to record and edit from, but until them im putting something out, even if its just a reel. When i do start posting on my channel ill now know what audience i want to target and keep it specific, because i was about to just post me playing all kinds of games 🤣 but that may not be the best idea, anyways, thanks a lot!!
Amazing tips keep going midnight am doing gaming even though I don't have all the setups, buh the good news is am on PS4 so I use the share factory, I can say I'm improving in editing cus am watching alot of videos across TH-cam and it's helping me alot thanks bru.....
This is an awesome video! There are many great takeaways. Thank you for taking the time and producing the content to shine light on these areas. I will be using some of these tips for sure! 💯
I would say most of this applies to streaming on twitch too! I think once I get the ps5 camera and they can see how I look while playing the viewers will go up. Voice over don’t tend to do well unless you have a silky/pleasing voice! I like the idea of sticking to a certain style of game too. If people come to you for fps games they might not want to see you playing an rpg. It all depends.
Thanks for the advice! I have a long way to go, but I love to learn more about video editing and presentation skills, so I see every video as a step forward 😊
Thank you for the help♥️. I am currently editing a video and I rewatch it to check if a part is too boring and I feel like skipping the video I cut it out of make it interesting 😁
Watching this at the end of 2024. Still relevant. Its why i havent done much in content creation, i cant stay on one topic long enough. Cant be consistant, and not putting time into it
I've only just started uploading, thank you for the tips, I'm going to stick with 100% completions with a face cam/commentary, it's difficult to show so much energy all of the time when you're recording for hours on end, so I'm honestly winging it, and just being myself, I'm not one to raise my voice or go over the top with my reactions, I would rather grow a community that sees me as more of a natural gamer. I've seen so many channels that try to do 100% completions but then stop half way through and it has always annoyed me, so I'll be working on actually completing them, with rapid uploads, I also just want a place to document all of my future playthroughs, and TH-cam is the perfect place to do that, I guess we'll just see how it goes, starting out with the new Path of Exile league. :)
I guess making better thumbnails as mine look super basic, making the quality better, be able to do 60 fps, and being much more consistent. I’ve been making videos for almost a year however I haven’t been that consistent due to having a job. Starting next year I will get into full force with making videos as well as live streaming. I realized that if you want to have a successful gaming career, you have to treat it like a full time job which I will be doing starting next year. Eventually the time will come, just keep being consistent and keep on improving.
I don’t really know what to think. I want to have a yt channel but sticking to one topic is just not for me. I just post playing with my friends and random things. And I’m still on ps4 recording from it. What am I doing wrong if I just want to have fun ?
Good video man. I just started my TH-cam channel at the beginning of the year and I do reviews on games. I have 4 videos so far and am working on my fifth .. I do this mainly because I have a passion for gaming. One thing that I have that No one else has is my opinions and insights on games. Hopefully the passion I have for it eventually leads me to be monetized
Hey I think it's important to note for those that have old channels and are coming back to making content should really consider on whether or not to make a new channel or stay on their current ones. I came to the conclusion that my channel has been through way too many niche's over the years that I made a new one as a fresh start and to not get pushed against by the conflicting content that'll confuse the algorithm and potential viewers.
I must say - that last one hit home. Though, I enjoy looking at similar channels to mine (similar/around the same subs) and just see what they're doing, what seems to be working for them and so on. Personally, it highlighted what I felt I was doing right and found things I can improve. It almost felt like "analysing myself". But - like you said - it often messes with you and I get upset and disappointed with myself. I also do the "no cam" but that's cos I don't want it to be a floating head channel. Having a camera in my face stopped me from posting at all, so I removed my blocker, kinda. I feel like I got a good voice and that's what I want to highlight anyway. But yea - some days feels great. Others feels super difficult and discouraging and I've only been doing this for a few months. I've wanted to start for over 10 years and I'm finally here but it's so hard and I keep asking myself "what I'm doing wrong", which feels horrible. Not easy. Thanks for this vid, though. None of that BS talk about "beating the algorithm" and "post daily" crap :)
my mistakes are editing videos i need to learn more about that in order to make a better channel. With all Honesty THANKS TO YOU I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY OWN STREAMING GAMING CHANNEL! THANKS LOTS! ✌
Returning Subscriber Here! I'm about to come up on a year of being on TH-cam, and I can admit that I use to compare my channel to others a lot and tried playing the games they play, which most big gaming channels do first person horror games, I've even tried out a couple myself and couldn't finish them like the others can, so I'm just sticking to the games I personally like and happen to be into, which are RPGs and suprisingly Psychedelic games, I know its odd but after playing one psychedelic game on my channel i want to finish it, but I've noticed from playing RPG Maker games i've gained some audience from it, especially when i started playing Undertale, but since my channel got deleted I have to start all the way over again, but after being on TH-cam for a while, I was real consistent with my content too, I stopped worrying about if I could gain more views and subscribers, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing but I almost made the mistake of talking to someone who could help me promote my channel, anyways enough of me yapping, I just wanted to come back to this video and thank you for the tips
Thanks for the tips man! I started this gaming channel last week and I'm trying to do my best on this talking in english even if It's not my First language.. Let's see where it'll land 🙂 you got a sub here 👍
I've been using TH-cam to just upload random things from games, and even streamed some. Didn't get many subs and gave up. Lately though, I've been actually trying this time. Clipping, trimming and mixing together, even made an intro with what I can, thanks to your little rocket league clip video
I have gotten better at editing thankfully even over the week or so. I will seriously be binging your videos just to try getting bigger. I do not want my face (mainly because I do not own a good camera, nor money to spend on one)

Well what about Dashie, Cory Kenshin and RDC? They don't stick to one genre of gaming

This was clear and concise. Great tips and great work on this video.
Thanks for all the help eventually I will try and and make better quality I only have my phone and a PlayStation rn
everything you said here is real, straight facts 💯💯 Thank you I needed to hear that.
One thing I’m doing that goes against these tips is that I’ve been posting videos of different games so far, but it’s mostly for practice. I’m enjoying the process, learning more each day, and hopefully with time I’ll find my niche
Perfectly fine thing to do early on until you find that niche. Experimentation can uncover unknown successes.
@@MidnightMan Thanks for the feedback
Nice tips, Kenny! Really helpful stuff for creators. Keep inspiring! 👏
Thanks for the advice! Also, love the firewatch wallpaper
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for content. I've tried a game channel before, but it's always failed. My motivation and willpower were broken. But this video was good for me!!! Starting again!
Your The Truth Bro, Stay Solid 🤞🏾
Yea man, I'm guilty of some of these things, but as I go I'll learn. I won't give up. I wish I was in that evaluation of my game channel, but I think I'm getting an understanding of it. Thanks again
this was very informative! Im getting into streaming and all of these tips of what not to do, i do 😆 so this was nice to hear and pin point what exactly i need to change. I only stream and post clips on social media right now until i get my desktop to record and edit from, but until them im putting something out, even if its just a reel. When i do start posting on my channel ill now know what audience i want to target and keep it specific, because i was about to just post me playing all kinds of games 🤣 but that may not be the best idea, anyways, thanks a lot!!
Love the video man! Well spoken and well put together. 🤘🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the information! I'll be trying all of these tips.
Amazing tips keep going midnight am doing gaming even though I don't have all the setups, buh the good news is am on PS4 so I use the share factory, I can say I'm improving in editing cus am watching alot of videos across TH-cam and it's helping me alot thanks bru.....
really good advice, especially about the shorts, thank you
This is an awesome video! There are many great takeaways. Thank you for taking the time and producing the content to shine light on these areas. I will be using some of these tips for sure! 💯
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! Really working on it!👍
Just watched this and it’s so helpful thank you so much 😁
this is so helpful buddy
I would say most of this applies to streaming on twitch too! I think once I get the ps5 camera and they can see how I look while playing the viewers will go up. Voice over don’t tend to do well unless you have a silky/pleasing voice! I like the idea of sticking to a certain style of game too. If people come to you for fps games they might not want to see you playing an rpg. It all depends.
thanks for sharing
Thanks for the advice! I have a long way to go, but I love to learn more about video editing and presentation skills, so I see every video as a step forward 😊
Thanks midnight I was doing sports and simulator games on the same channel u now know keep simulation games on one channel and put sports on another
Thankyou very much for this, had some very helpful tips :)
I know i’m seeing this late but my youtube is starting to get exposure from youtube and im happy i can do what i love and hopefully it works
Thanks midnight! New creator here and im keeping it simple. Im also having a lot fun doing it. Halo Wars 2 is my home😊😅
Man thankyou very much im ben watching you for long time,
Greerz from Netherlands thanks for everything
Thank you for the help♥️. I am currently editing a video and I rewatch it to check if a part is too boring and I feel like skipping the video I cut it out of make it interesting 😁
Very solid advice bro!! 🔥🔥🔥 not a gamer but still very relevant to me
I still remember your gaming days on TH-cam, what a time haha
@@MidnightMan bro I’m definitely gonna come back to that 😂 I’ve lost the passion for gaming but that could just be me playing the wrong games.
Gotta find what you love, sometimes you can just grow out of it. That happened to me with Fortnite
Watching this at the end of 2024. Still relevant. Its why i havent done much in content creation, i cant stay on one topic long enough. Cant be consistant, and not putting time into it
I've only just started uploading, thank you for the tips, I'm going to stick with 100% completions with a face cam/commentary, it's difficult to show so much energy all of the time when you're recording for hours on end, so I'm honestly winging it, and just being myself, I'm not one to raise my voice or go over the top with my reactions, I would rather grow a community that sees me as more of a natural gamer. I've seen so many channels that try to do 100% completions but then stop half way through and it has always annoyed me, so I'll be working on actually completing them, with rapid uploads, I also just want a place to document all of my future playthroughs, and TH-cam is the perfect place to do that, I guess we'll just see how it goes, starting out with the new Path of Exile league. :)
You the man, midnight man
THanks b;ro... loving your videos.
Thank you this helps me a lot
yeah totally thanks for the tips man
I guess making better thumbnails as mine look super basic, making the quality better, be able to do 60 fps, and being much more consistent. I’ve been making videos for almost a year however I haven’t been that consistent due to having a job. Starting next year I will get into full force with making videos as well as live streaming. I realized that if you want to have a successful gaming career, you have to treat it like a full time job which I will be doing starting next year. Eventually the time will come, just keep being consistent and keep on improving.
I don’t really know what to think. I want to have a yt channel but sticking to one topic is just not for me. I just post playing with my friends and random things. And I’m still on ps4 recording from it. What am I doing wrong if I just want to have fun ?
If your thing is gaming. Just game. Be persistent.
Good video man. I just started my TH-cam channel at the beginning of the year and I do reviews on games. I have 4 videos so far and am working on my fifth .. I do this mainly because I have a passion for gaming. One thing that I have that No one else has is my opinions and insights on games. Hopefully the passion I have for it eventually leads me to be monetized
Thanks Bro !!!
I'm guilty of all these mistakes.
Nice video bro. Keep rocking.
Great watch as always 👊🏿❤
Great ideas!
Thank you man
I’m just now seeing this and this guy explains things way better than most. Definitely will take what he said and implement it to my channel 💯
I appreciate this video brotha love all the tips now gotta go put in the work, because I was guilty but I'm better now.
Keep going lads ❤
Hey I think it's important to note for those that have old channels and are coming back to making content should really consider on whether or not to make a new channel or stay on their current ones. I came to the conclusion that my channel has been through way too many niche's over the years that I made a new one as a fresh start and to not get pushed against by the conflicting content that'll confuse the algorithm and potential viewers.
I am right on the edge of giving up, I thank you for posting this video, i am going to deep dive into the data.
Don’t give up! Time to put a plan in place, you can do it!
I am willing to bet that, 1. your niche is hurting you, 2. as is your titles, thumbs and consistency.
I must say - that last one hit home. Though, I enjoy looking at similar channels to mine (similar/around the same subs) and just see what they're doing, what seems to be working for them and so on. Personally, it highlighted what I felt I was doing right and found things I can improve. It almost felt like "analysing myself". But - like you said - it often messes with you and I get upset and disappointed with myself.
I also do the "no cam" but that's cos I don't want it to be a floating head channel. Having a camera in my face stopped me from posting at all, so I removed my blocker, kinda. I feel like I got a good voice and that's what I want to highlight anyway.
But yea - some days feels great. Others feels super difficult and discouraging and I've only been doing this for a few months. I've wanted to start for over 10 years and I'm finally here but it's so hard and I keep asking myself "what I'm doing wrong", which feels horrible. Not easy. Thanks for this vid, though. None of that BS talk about "beating the algorithm" and "post daily" crap :)
Thanks for the tips! You reviewed my channel a couple of months ago, and your advice has helped me grow immensely! Thank you 🤙🏽
I love to hear this, amazing ❤️
@@MidnightMan hey midnighman I have been struggling on obs when uploading my first face reveal and it was very leggy any advice
As a new channel I really appreciate all the tips!
my mistakes are editing videos i need to learn more about that in order to make a better channel. With all Honesty THANKS TO YOU I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY OWN STREAMING GAMING CHANNEL! THANKS LOTS! ✌
Returning Subscriber Here! I'm about to come up on a year of being on TH-cam, and I can admit that I use to compare my channel to others a lot and tried playing the games they play, which most big gaming channels do first person horror games, I've even tried out a couple myself and couldn't finish them like the others can, so I'm just sticking to the games I personally like and happen to be into, which are RPGs and suprisingly Psychedelic games, I know its odd but after playing one psychedelic game on my channel i want to finish it, but I've noticed from playing RPG Maker games i've gained some audience from it, especially when i started playing Undertale, but since my channel got deleted I have to start all the way over again, but after being on TH-cam for a while, I was real consistent with my content too, I stopped worrying about if I could gain more views and subscribers, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing but I almost made the mistake of talking to someone who could help me promote my channel, anyways enough of me yapping, I just wanted to come back to this video and thank you for the tips
thanks bro for this
Thanks for the tips man! I started this gaming channel last week and I'm trying to do my best on this talking in english even if It's not my First language.. Let's see where it'll land 🙂 you got a sub here 👍
Thank you so much for the quality advice!

Let’s Go! Love your content.
Thank you Doc! 🙌🏽
