      Your wrong
      I uploaded lots of videos and I not uploaded lately but I don't have alot TH-cam channel subscribers and not alot people watch them
      Your advice isn't factual
      I think more to with how popular a topic is
      Like food and drink are average in popularity
      Gaming such as pokemon or yugioh players or people whom do walkthroughs for people on games
      They are really popular
      Then you got poetry and creative writing what my channel about and I end up saying I'm small time TH-camr but actually just least popular topic for TH-cam channel.

    Before Game Theory, Film Theory, etc, blew up, MatPat's main work on TH-cam was studying the algorithms and determining the most effective way to get your content out there. He was able to turn it into a profit by helping other TH-camrs, and he still does this to help ensure his videos reach as far as possible. If anyone knows how to work the system, it's MatPat.

      If you’re just starting TH-cam, you’re not making money anyways. Even if you go viral, it’ll be about a month before you can even actually make money to boot, since partnership takes a multi week review on your channel to be approved. If you’re starting a new channel, it’s absolutely worth it to spend all that time creating something, and instead of immediately posting it after finishing 1, finish some others - and then post them all together. Anyone starting TH-cam should have a job anyways, and be fully prepared to absolutely flop and never make a cent lol

    this only really works with channels with some sort of way to start the views. i would take this with a grain of salt. do this + the ludwig trick of basically advertising ur channel to an audience that would appreciate it.

      Also make sure the videos are actually well edited. If those are your first videos they are most likely not though. And 5 bad videos won't do your channel any good now will they

    In the early stages of starting my TH-cam channel and this was one of the first things I planned on doing. My reason was for showing a variety of interests and different styles. The watch time and algorithm didn't even occur to me but makes it all the better. Great advice and something I haven't really seen said in these type of vids.

    Love that he's helping smaller creators with his consulting, but at the same time you can directly trace a lot of the oversaturation of sponsor blocks back to Matt. I remember when a smaller channel I watched posted on Twitter that they were consulting with him and suddenly their decently targeted sponsors were replaced with Raid and Manscaped and Hello Fresh. I understand the need to make money to do more things with your channel, but it just isn't in keeping with the spirit of content creation.

    • @bumblebot2458
      @bumblebot2458 3 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I think that's an issue with TH-cam as a whole, really. The algorithm's fucked, which makes getting anything out of the site basically impossible without directly obeying the algorithm. As much as I really don't watch Matpat anymore, can't deny what he says or promotes for stuff like that does make sense. Does suck with the oversaturation though.

      That's only the growing scale due to him being a celebrity, but following this advice will just be better than not doing so, he's just saying to release 5+ videos when you opened the channel, so your viewers can actually get engaged or you getting more watchtime overall.

    His point is that you should do quantity over quality for a year even if those videos are bad & the mistake that people make is thinking that they don’t belong so you keep less videos even though you shouldn’t. A shit channel is better at the start because at least you have a channel, not a near-empty channel
