I got monetized yesterday! Took me about 7 months with an educational channel. I used a ton of tips from you guys so thank you! For everyone that is trying to get monetized keep it up, it will happen for you too with enough time and effort!
congratulations sir 😃
Would you mind coming back here and telling us how your first day of ad revenue looks?
yes iam looking for this answer @@RondellKB
That's awesome
@@RondellKB I reached monetization in July this year. I had a video that was gaining 10k views a day and the first day I earned: 0.74 cent.
However the second day I earned 12$, I suppose because the ad algoritm learned which add apply to my video
Fellow small channels, we can all do this. We need to just stick with it and not give up!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😎
WE CAN DO IT
Yes I'll try it
Exactly right man! I’ve just been trying to slowly improve little things with each new video.
Just remember that: You can’t LOSE if you don’t QUIT ❤
I needed this, thanks ❤
You can die from age, waiting for something to change, though.
@@EvilBanana yes but you died playing the game. Which means you never lost cuz you never gave up. 😎👈🏼
Same thing if you never start
@@MuscleMan500 interesting but if it something that you really want but you never actually start then you’ve already lost “what you want”
There's a lot of anxiety as a new creator and it's beyond deflating to watch videos all saying, "it just takes time", "make good content", etc. But the way you guys presented the information in this video has put my mind at ease. I know my content isn't perfect and it will evolve as I continue, but I'm less stressed about whether or not my channel will ever be successful after watching this video. I almost skipped it just because of the length of it, but I'm glad I didn't . I watched until the end and it was very worth it. Thanks Guys
This what worked for me. i got me a Monetized youtube channel with over 20k from viral npc marketplace (it is now 30K) and im now earning like an old youtuber. This what majority of the people do now im trying to share my experience :) Btw good video
i dont understand your comment. you got a channel from a marketplace? thanks
For all the small creators we're going to get there trust!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Consistency is key! Always fun looking back a year and seeing how much progress has been made. STICK WITH IT!!
oooo soo true!!! i laugh a lot watching my oldest video about 1 year ago!!!!
You are correct.
Rob please say yes
Yes
I’ve been doing really well on my channel this month. And I’m so proud. My community is so nice and understanding. They really make my journey really fun and enjoyable. And that’s all the matters to me. Not the views or the likes but the people I’m connecting with🥰.
Same here and it started the end of last month.
This is great best of luck
So I’m aware basically nobody will see this comment but I just want to say thanks a ton for all of the tips, and while my channel haven’t even got its first 100 subscribers yet this is my third attempt at a channel and comparatively it’s doing amazingly well with all my videos at or near 100 views
I seen it. Keep it up Brotha
Same for me I havent got my first 100 subs yet. But good luck to you! And keep going!
yo i saw it
Good luck with your channel
I've just seen it! Keep grinding bro!
Y'all just gave me a great Christmas present with this! Let's not call ourselves small creators. Let's say we're big TH-camrs with small numbers right now.
Exactly! Keep growing!
Yeesssss i love this kind of long form content which goes over an hour. I just recently discovered your channel. I am going to grab a cup of tea and start binge watching the whole thing 😂
Go for it!
I’m right at the cusp of monetization in less than a year of consistent uploading. This channel is so helpful!
Congrats 🎈
It took me just under 2 years to become monetized. Super long by some people standards but I’ve learned SO MUCH over those two years and I truly started taking TH-cam seriously a year ago. When I stopped feeling like TH-cam didn’t want me to get monetized and I kept on posting (some content wasn’t very good or useful) I started to see growth. Definitely an interesting journey and I’m onto the next goal of 2,000 subscribers and more edited videos and thumbnails to see how that does
It might take me two years or more on this channel.
I’m a small manicure/pedicure channel with 9 subs and I just started 2 months ago with 0. Sometimes I feel like the algorithm is against me but at other times….. nah….. I still feel like the algorithm is against me😂 but I’m going to keep going and see where I land in another year.
Thank you so much Rob! I cannot/could not run my small (40 subs) channel without you and this... insanely long video you have made.
Great compilation guys! Nice to have all of this to review in one video.
Merry Christmas. Best to the new year. This year will be your best if you give it your best.
Yes. Cheers to a good year
Thanks for the tips! My channel is doing terribly but will continue to push forward!!
Your channel is great! Don't give up! Surprised you only have 25 subs
Post more often
@@RacingCommentator sounds like a plan
Keep growing!
Hang in there
Big tight on this video! Ive had a couple shorts lately "take off" compared to my usual 200 views, and that was pretty cool
Merry Christmas Everyone
This year is my best year 🎉
I Monetize My Channel Last year Desember and I make 270 Dollers in This year. I'm 16 Years old😊.
I hope next year ( 2024 ) will be my best year. I have lot of thinks planned.
Love from Sri lanka 🇱🇰
Nice! Keep growing!
Passion and perseverance is the key! Hopefully my small channel will be get big. Fingers crossed!
As a small arts channel, it's hard to determine what category to put your content. i feel youtube needs an arts and crafts category 😅
They also need an editors section
@@sayslayeditz 💯💯
@@TheLeft-HandedPainter Yess!
WOW! Thank you Rob and Dan so much for this deep dive amazing video with so much valuable information to unpack. I am a small channel approaching 1k subscribers and I am in the right space, but I am trying to focus and find EXACTLY where I want and need to be with my content. I understand what you guys are saying and the struggle is real but I am determined to get it right for the viewer. I have to remember why I'm doing this in the first place, I want to share and teach people to build and fix things for themselves so they don't have to rely on others and spend a bunch of money. I might have had an ah ha moment as I wrote that last sentence 🤔
Thank you for all you do to grow small channels.
Why Do Americans visit my channel? They said my content Need to be set FREE!🚩🎥
Feels like last year flew by so fast. Happy new year fellow commenters & Happy new year to everyone at VidIQ!
I've also noticed that some videos may start off slow and then take off a few days or even weeks later. I look up and start seeing subscriber numbers go up and it's not on my recent content. Then I will see a video from the past getting a few thousand views all of the sudden.
All your videos, guys, are so good for us , small youtubers!! Keep going!!
For shorts, I find that sometimes changing the title means the difference between 50 views and 2k views. Sometimes it’s waves. I’ll get 50 views initially then 24 hours later I get 2k views. I find that if more than 50% of people offered the shorts swipe away the push slows and eventually stops.
One short I had got 100 views then nearly 200 days later it entered into the search rankings and now transformed to 1.3k views. And still growing.
It’s insane because I never know exactly what’s going to happen. Sometimes it’s perfect timing and I got over 6k views. Sometimes it bombs and I get 50 views. Sometimes if I remove and re-add it will work. But sometimes I have to force feed the shorts system the same video 5 times before it finally has steam.
Now on the long form content. I have one that ran up to 50 views quickly then it died for another 160 days then suddenly it got picked up on search. Then it got browse and then suggested. This video at 160 days was at 50 views. One month later it’s at 1.5k views and still going.
This video started testing out shorts to these viewers. Suddenly I had 4 different shorts take off mostly on search. Then 2 of those shorts started getting suggested.
And being that I have 3 out of my 270 videos that have been attracting views suddenly my channel went front struggling to getting a lot of views. And within a single month I went from earning just a single subscriber to earning over 100 subscribers in one month. The one widely successful video on my channel has gained over 40 subscribers alone. Which is outstanding and the best performer on my entire channel. It keeps generating plenty of views and it has reliably been bringing in subscribers and plenty of likes.
This one video seems to have found pool of people that loves my content. And because of that many have checked out the rest of my channel generating a lot of engagement and keeps pushing the algorithm to expand.
In one year I went from 130 subscribers at the start to almost crossing the 700 mark by the end of the year.
This is thanks to vidiq! And my biggest advice is exactly what vidiq is saying here. Make videos for your viewers. Videos you enjoy doing and that your good at. And the rest will fall in its place.
Took me over 200 videos to realize this.
I’m 9 subscribers away from 700. And I have decent confidence I’ll reach it by end of week. And if not I got so close to my milestone that it’s still a huge success for my channel!
Amazing. Congrats hard always pays off one day I know that for sure
@@CliqzHD It sure does!
I hope all you guys become successful and reach your goals for your channels!!!!!
Thank you!
I get 1000 subscribers in a month.Thank you VidiQ😊
Thanks, bud, love you!
Happy Holidays to everyone for starters! So far we have been able to grow as a small channel exponentially! We got our first 100 subs in June 2023. Now we're over 500! We hit our goal for 2023 and looking forward to continue to grow in 2024. Our livestream has been so successful. No monetization yet, but believing and giving youtube faith, it is possible!
Merry Christmas to all and may we all have a successful new youTube year 😊❤
This is a great work. can't believe you made more than an hour video on this topic
Thank you for always providing us valuable content to help us on our TH-cam journey! I came here to post that I've not seen your videos recommended to me in a little while now. I've noticed lately that I've seen different channels popping up for me that has never shown up before but it was very noticeable that I hadn't seen a video of yours pop up like usual.
In my experience, watch time for a new creator is a great metric and I'd probably rank it higher than you guys did. The longer viewers sit down with you, the more they are getting to know you as a person. In the early stages of getting a channel started, people have no idea who you are, so having personal time with a small group of people who watch a large portion of your videos is a great start to spark a growing community. Then, once you have that community, your videos are more likely to take off as you learn more from them.
I started my channel with very long challenge-based progression videos for the game I play (MapleStory) and I found that the deep connection I created with my audience really helped me get the snowball rolling. As the series ended, even though I stopped making those types of videos, I was still able to see success (20k+ views on videos) because I had a community that loved my content.
Thanks for this great video! Watched it all the way through. Merry XMas and Happy New Years to you all!
You got this! Keep growing!
I have a video that has 1400 views and from 25-1400 views has not received one more like or comment. How is that realistic? Any idea what is going on?
I took a look at your video with 1400 views and I think I see why this could be happening. What people comment on a video, they are responding to the value you give them. Value can come in many forms... did you brighten their day by making them laugh? Did you teach them a new skill? Did you make them feel less stressed? You have to think about those things if you want to get engagement. The video that have 1400 views is a 6 second clip of you showcasing your fish bait, but you don't provide any commentary as to why this is the best bait to use, how it's different from the others, etc.. For your future videos, I would suggest thinking of ways that you can give VALUE to the viewer. When you do that, you'll see more growth in your content. Best of luck!@@AnxiousBaits
This season, has packed a lot of important information,
You have answer a lot of my questions on this video.
Thanks keep it up.
50 subscribers away from hitting my 1000 subscriber mark!! Wish me luck!! Happy holidays everyone!!
New thumbnail. I see you playa!!!
I started my youtube channel beginning of this year doing Tech Restore around 8 months. In l got monetized l am shocked how quickly the channel has grown and l still have a lot to learn and upgrade some of my stuff ie camera and tools but it will all take time l do wish everyone the best for 2024 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, i was wondering how they do it now i know
Rob, good explanation with your team how the algorithm works and what you can do to become a better TH-cam channel
A 1 hour and 20 min vidio about how to grow your TH-cam channel YESS SIRR
Watching your videos really helps my channel i wanted to start a channel years ago but my parents were right i wasn't ready but now thanks to you i kind of know what im doing
I will not stop until I get there
well watching confirmed a few things i was thinking. i've seen steady growth with my channel with a combination of shorts and long form video. kinda nice to keep learning this stuff
It’s hard not to get disappointed when your content doesn’t get views but don’t give up. Consistency is the key. We can do this everyone!
To all people who will reply to this message I promise to subscribe to your channels and will not expect something coz’ I know your hardwork everyone.🙏🙏🙏
Let’s get the VIEWS!!!
I appreciated the practical stats like views to likes and views to subs. As a new creator this gives me an idea how I am doing while my channel is small. Thank you
Very informative. Thankyou
Just jumped on the TH-cam creator train yesterday.
This video is going to help me immensely 😊
Patient is key.
Well don't give up on your dreams people, The many other creators I found are actually purely by chance by even finding them outside of TH-cam. Even the comments sections of other videos can find interesting people sometimes
Love your channel!! I have 2 new channels starting this week. How many videos per channel per week should I do? Is there a number that is too much or too little?
I discovered that CTR is not as easy to read as I thought.
On the one hand, a higher CTR causes the video to have more views. On the other hand, CTR is related to how many new viewers watch my video.
My channel is quite new, so many videos have more new viewers than returning ones. In this case, the CTR is usually lower. In turn, those videos that mainly reach my regular audience have a fairly high CTR. But that doesn't mean they have more views.
For example:
video 1 - CTR 7.6%, views 457, returning viewers 241 (i.e. more than half of the views);
video 2 - CTR 4.8%, views 589, returning viewers 71 (i.e. about 1/7 views).
Data after 7 days of display. Both films dealt with a similar topic.
for all the small channels, keep it up and don't lose hope
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely seeing the surge in views straight up, then hard brakes slam on to basically a views flatline recently, on both vids and shorts... not sure why
I just want to say this people know what they are talking about....so just don't lose hope until you get successful.... because the process is harder
FINALLY did it after my second appeal. Thank you Jesus.
Started streaming and posting gaming videos and I find that I enjoy it. No much result yet, but keeping up at it is the key. Every posting, I try to improve something- youtube thumbnails, speaking, audio, etc. I am deaf, and audio is a huge issue for me since I can't properly test it for myself, so I ask my friend out when he has the time. The take I get from TH-cam is never stop learning- there's always something to improve. There's a quote, that I like-"If you can get 1% better each day for one year, you’ll end up 37 times better by the time you’re done." There's no perfect video that exists, so just get comfortable and be yourself.
good guide! first I started my channel i focused on quality on quantity but what i learned you just start posting videos and in time you will learn what's working right. I have just started hoping for better results in the future.
I hope for whoever reading this you’ll have more succes as I do. pls if someone has some ideas for me let me know
Ok. Here is a comment. My exact thoughts at 1:04:46 into the video is. "Am I learning any more about how to grow my channel by continuing to watch this particular video and if I click off this video now will I miss out on learning exactly what I need to implement into my videos and TH-cam channel? Then if the answer is "no" then I will click off. In this case. So far this video I have been watching in parts for two days and I have learned a lot. So I will continue to watch it to the end.
Thank You ❤❤
Congratulations 🎉. I'm encouraged.
If my channel blows up, great. If not, that's great too. This is a passion project for me that I'll be working on for the rest of my days.
Keep growing!
this is a masterclass of info. thank you!
I got monetized a week ago. Thank you so much for all your help !
I am only 84 subscribers away from 10K subscribers, and 49 watch hours from being monetized... Thanks a lot for your helpful tips and tricks. It certainly helped me a lot on the last mile!
I ended up using promotional beta I do gaming and it definitely worked and I gained a fan base it’s not much but it’s works
❤ thanks
Long video v good but so many busy like family or other but informative your all video .
Thanks you
December good for me thanks 👍 for guidance
I’ve been on this new account for a couple weeks now because I saw a video about shorts ruining ur channel but I’m still trying to build an audience and get people to click my video even though I spend hours on my thumbnails
Hey good morning and season greetings to everyone, I really wanted to know if it's possible to do multiple outdoor stuff like paintball, E-bike riding, atv riding, rolling blades and even camping. Could that be one niche?
i think youtube is featuring some adsense campaign because of the (intended) lack of discovery for newcomers by the algorithm. everything is a paying option, the only question is "can you growth without spending a million?" like the expert says "brings your own viewers, don't rely only on youtube".
Just subscribed! Thank you for going out and helping others to feel... not so lost in this youtube creator land! From Blue Creek Detectors
I’m SUPER thankful for your tips, im still not monetized but im using all the tips u recommend! Im earning subs so fast! Love this channel. Thank you thank you thank you❤❤❤❤❤
Consistency is key!
You really really want to grow your channel its simple as focusing on shorts until you actually build and audience. Great titles and explainetory hastags
Your right
My channel has been growing since I started using your webpage and app and I thank you! My only concern is that my channel is a "Type Beat " channel, where I upload beats or instrumentals for artists or other producers to get inspired or use. My question is that other than uploading "How to make a beat " tutorials
, is my niche big or important enough to get millions or subscribers and views? Thank you in advance!
What if my short video shown to me during watching shorts. It happens with ne and even I have published same short screen recording on my channel. Kindly suggest why youtube showing my short to me?
Superb my man ❤
This video is actually a really nice one for learning the TH-cam algorithm and how to grow. It was a great upload!
Thank you! We try our best!
Wow! Thank you! Good information! Will use on my cartoon channel 👍🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
This feels like a creator encyclopedia! Love it
It hurts when you put effort in your videos and you don't get subscribers💔. But I won't give up. Best of luck guys.
yeah.same
Fun fact is that the thumbnail of this video is made Ai.
Im bad at talking to mic, i sound like im nervous , i also fear that people might find my voice and accent ugly
what should i do?
Your videos really helped i have got 25+ sub for yesterday night till now keep up the hard work
A video compilation... Or a mini curse to re-study again :)
Thank you very much for all the tips in all the vids!
I've been trying to be consistent, take the advice on shorts, and the progress and growth is there, so I'm keeping it up in 2024!
See all of you brilliant TH-camrs out there then :)
Brilliant thank you . Uk gardening business.
Well I don’t know how to explain😅 but I have started 1 week ago and wanna thank you all for
It is so very insightful content. Thanks man.

Thank you for being the first non-programmer to say that there is not one youtube algorithm. I know what people mean when they say it, but as someone from a Computer Science background, it kind of irks me lol.
The only program that exists in the world that had a single algorithm is a program that only does a single thing, like the famous 'Hello world" progam.
Good Luck to all Of you!!! ✌️❤From South Africa🇿🇦
This video is gold !!
Hi! I know this comment may go missed, but I thought it's worth an ask - Ive recently started on TH-cam, I'm around 15,000 subs but my issue is that I've been doing reaction videos and I'm not sure what to do to earn money from the platform? i spend lots of time doing videos just to grab subs, the only money I make is from my Patreon but it's not substantial enough for me to do it full-time - I only get views on the reaction videos, when I upload guitar lessons or copyright free content I'm not getting the views.. any suggestions? I love your shorts and videos BTW, very helpful!! Jimmy ( Music Lecturer/ pro-musician)
