LIFE CHANGING. How YouTube Is Shaping My NEW Life ( Less Than 500 Subscribers)

“2 Weeks Into My Art TH-cam Channel: What I’ve Learned & My Channel Data So Far”
In this video, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the first two weeks of starting my new art TH-cam channel and sharing everything I’ve learned so far. If you’re thinking about starting a TH-cam channel for your art or you’re already on the journey, this video will give you insight into my experience. From creating and editing my first videos to learning the importance of consistency, I’ve learned a lot in a short time. I’m also excited to share my channel data-views, subscribers, engagement, and how those numbers reflect my progress.
What I’ve Learned
1. The Importance of Consistency: I’ve found that posting regularly helps my audience know what to expect, which in turn boosts engagement and channel growth.
2. Video Quality & Thumbnails: Quality matters, but you don’t need the most expensive equipment to start. Focus on lighting, clarity, and clean audio. And remember, your thumbnails are the first thing people see, so make them catchy!
3. Engagement: Replying to comments and building a connection with my viewers has been key in fostering a community. It’s not just about the numbers but about forming meaningful interactions with other artists and art enthusiasts.
4. Staying Motivated: Running a TH-cam channel is a marathon, not a sprint. I’ve learned that small wins-like a new subscriber or an encouraging comment-are just as important as big milestones.
Channel Data After Two Weeks
Now, onto the numbers! It’s only been two weeks, but I’ve already seen some great growth. Here’s a breakdown of my key stats as of now:
• Subscribers: 204 subscribers (thank you all!)
• Total Views: Over 11,300 views
• Average Watch Time: 3 minutes per video
• Video Uploads: 14 videos posted
While my numbers may not be massive yet, I’m super excited about where things are going. Every view and every comment mean the world to me, and I’m learning every day how to improve and provide more value to my audience. I’ll be tracking my growth regularly, and in future videos, I’ll continue sharing these milestones as I learn more about how TH-cam works.
Future Goals
• Keep uploading at least 1-2 videos a week.
• Experiment with different types of content like tutorials, draw-alongs, and sketchbook tours.
• Grow the channel to 500+ subscribers by the end of the first month!
Whether you’re an artist looking to start your own channel or just curious about my journey, I hope this video gives you some helpful insights. If you’ve enjoyed this review of my first two weeks, make sure to subscribe and follow along as I continue to learn and share my experiences in building an art TH-cam channel from scratch.

Hi Chris, I was wondering if you are doing inktober challenge? I'm just starting out as an older artist and illustrator, do you have any tips or tricks to help? Cheers brother in advance 👍

Hi. Yes, I will be undertaking the Inktober 2024 challenge. I am planning on sharing some thoughts and tips on this years list in a video. Will probably post that vid this weekend.
