You're the most calm and logical, straight forward TH-camr when it comes to finding success on this platform. I'm glad I found your channel. I grew from 0-7k in a year and it's largely in part to all of your great and SENSIBLE tips!!
"Pick an audience, no random videos, find a niche if you are serious and be consistent and confident" are the things that stuck out for me. Great advice as always 👍🏾
Most helpful thing I got out of this video is "It takes time" , be smart about your decisions, you aren't every other successful youtuber you are you and your success is based on you, be smart about monitization, Play the long game, and focus on the content and the community and success will come with it. Consistency and persistence is key to success on youtube but it isnt everything, get the ugly videos out of the way so you can find the style of content that suits you!
The first 1,000 subscribers are the most difficult. I wish everyone the best of luck with growing their channels. Keep putting in the hard work and you will be there in no time. I love seeing everyone succeeding with growing their channel!!!
Dude I just checked out your channel. You’re doing pretty well to have only started 3 months ago. And your videos look good! Your thumbnails looks pretty good too. You can definitely get there if you keep it up!
This video is packed with motivation and so much knowledge. I’ve been on TH-cam since April 2020 and have been consistently uploading and have uploaded 79 videos (231k views)… I’m almost to that 100th upload. I’m reaching for that 10,000 milestone🙌🏽
As a small gaming channel myself, I really resonate with this video. It's very influential. I aspire to make TH-cam a career and I will. I upload consistently, put my all into my content, while also realizing that there is always room to improve. Thank you for making this and I hope everyone reading this has plenty of success with their TH-cam channels as well. Here's to a successful year you guys!
Knowing that even the massive channels took time to gain traction is helpful. I no longer feel as if I'm wasting my time & intend to keep on going. Thanks!
Honestly Roberto, you speak so much sense, thank you for this video. I love the 'make 100 crappy videos' idea, along with the passion/confidence balance. The 10k subs to 1 million views rule of thumb also super-helpful. And thank you for recognising that some of us are weighed down by family responsibilities that make TH-cam complicated to plan into our time. I'm interested in charging up an existing channel that has slowed down, without alienating the dedicated community that has supported it to that point. All the best, Angela/Chatty Walks
My goal for 2022 is to be more consistent with my upload schedule. My older videos are the ones that always bring in the lion's share of views and money and my newer ones get buried as soon as I make them public, which leaves me discouraged so I don't post anything for awhile. I realized that while I was growing in subs, I wasn't growing a community at all. So while I'll still upload the quick tutorials I'm known for, I'm branching out into other topics like freelancing to share my experiences and to help up-and-coming freelancers as well.
I've used your advice Blake, and a few others and have managed 1290 subs as of today. I started a little over a year ago. I'm monetized but it's not sustainable as a full time job yet. If I had money to invest in my channel I could make videos my community wants but I have a family of 4 and another family of 1 that I pay for every month. But I feel blessed I've made it past 1000 when nobody believed I could do it. I know people in my genre that took 8+ yrs to pass 1000 subs so I know I just gotta keep going and I'll hit 10k then 100k then 1m subs!!! Just find people that are successful in your genre and replicate them in your style. No brained. Good luck to everyone else trying to get to 1k!!
I think the most useful thing I've learnt today, is that there's a difference between entertainment creator's and education creators. Not in the fundamentals of making good content, but in terms of the various ways to monetize.
I'm starting with a cross-platform, social media perspective. My question is how to maximize my time management with branding content that I can use on multiple social media outlets? Thanks in advance. HNY
Keep it coming great video! Well needed info🏩😇🏩🙏🏾you definitely said a mouthful the clout and drama is at all time high. I'm grateful for God leading me to people like you and Matt. Let's #keeponkeepingon
How do i create a patreon and how do i set my channel up for monetaezation. And how step by step instructions bc its not simple as google says its more than just creating a email and channel bc i did that and my videos dont pop up and im not recieving money but i have content!
Dear Roberto, thank you for everything you have taught me over the years. I have built a YT channel with 8000 subscribers, on and off over 6 years. I am have managed to grow a small business around it last year. Tomorrow I am going to have my first short talk about how to do YT. Wish me luck. I will definitely credit you there. xoxoxo
@@_MosMos_ well, thisit´s going to be in my language, Czech. But I am happy to answer your questions 😁 But I have followed Roberto´s advice and it worked .
I’ve started uploading my podcast episodes on my main channel. Could you please create a video on the best way to go about publishing podcasts on TH-cam? Thank you 😊
Perfect timing Roberto! I just posted my first TH-cam video today! Thankfully, I had some help from Twitter, but I'm really looking forward to the journey ☺️
Hi Roberto, as I'm starting to consider do my youtube channel you gave me some very reasonable and sensible things to think about, especially about picking the niche and studying the behavior patterns of that niche. Also creating long form content and providing educational information as being a great consideration in growing viewer audience and potentially monetizing what I'd like to teach and share with the views. Thank you
I really appreciate you bringing up the point that success is not measured by the amount of subscribers and numbers but by the long term sustainability and monitization tactics. Appreciate you!
I started a my TH-cam channel 6 years ago and followed this advice. All I can say is It works!! Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us.
the greatest single advice I have ever get from YT growing related channel is yours "niche down, stand up" ideology. Just a simple and great way to start building audience. When mastering one niche, it's easier to expand to other areas too. Also posting similar videos for example from a specific video game helps getting subscribers because they know what they subscribe for!🤩
Its extremely difficult to provide valuable content when the flashy, mindless content grabs all the attention. Slow and steady. But its been a fun ride so far. Thanks for the insight Roberto!
There's a lot of simple things you can do to make videos more watchable. You can get royalty free/cw free music and edit that in, you can use transitions. "Flashier" content =/= dumb, often times it's just more easily digestible when it isn't boring.
Not really. I’m not into the mr beast type content. I use TH-cam mostly for education, news and reviews. So the flashy videos don’t interest me and I know I’m not alone.
Hey Roberto, just want to say that you are a big influence for me in getting organized, structured and all the "things one should know" in guiding me setting up my own TH-cam channel. Big thank you!
I mean there are plenty of cuts and animation but I found it’s down to on camera delivery. The less edits I do the better the retention actually is on most of these
I really like how you mentioned people with disabilities doing TH-cam. I have fibromyalgia and depression and want to help others with these issues. What direction would you recommend for affiliate marketing with this kind of disability? Thanks.
My wife has that it is horrible. You could do things like personal care products to help with pain relief and bring stress down. If you have particular oils you use do some content and affiliate link with that.
My ex had the same condition. Your channel should be focused on your condition. In your video introduce yourself and explain the disease so that it will enlighten others. Explain the effect it has on you and tell a story on how it has effected your social life or dating life (that will get viewers hooked). Keep your videos short and straight to the point as people don't have long attention spans. Good luck
As a viewer, I use my subscriptions as a "to do" list, like a memory jog of who I like. Counting on YT to regularly show me what they're doing is frustrating. Wonderful vid, thank you. Great advice for starting the new year!
I really appreciate your vids, they are straight to the point and very thorough at the same time. As an ex-gang member now trying to reach other gang members and encourage them to leave gangs it is tough. Your content lays out the path and what it will take to be successful. Gby
Good advice Roberto. It's about the long game. I enjoy watching you, Nick Nimmon, and occasionally Brian G Johnson. I have, within the last two weeks, hit the 1000 subs threshold. I had to take a break for a little while, but I'm back. Sometimes reminding myself why I'm here helps. For me, it's not about the money as much as it's about the viewers. I teach camping skill to youth. I've done so since 1985. I started TH-cam to get their attention. And offer an experience that taught the skills and did so in a family friendly atmosphere. That continues to drive me. Many of the kids I teach have no father figure to look up to, it is my mission to be an example for them. Weather boy, or girl. I was one of those kids as a youth. For a short time, I had an older gentleman take me under his wing. It was short lived due to his health. But it gave me a glimpse of what mentorship was like. Thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot.
you might have chronic laryngitis that has put your voice out of commission for reading ghost stories for years, but hey. still going, and still watching your videos for years now. theres always something I need to learn every year. seems like each year the algorithm shifts a little and video "trends" are always changing, so I'm trying to be as adaptable as ever. great video. thank you for helping out us little guys & happy new year to you, Roberto.
I started this new channel this year, Jan 2nd 2022. This is not my first channel but is preforming very well. I think this channel can hit those milestones you are listing but that will likely take some time. However I think if people making money part time it's successful too because even that alone is super hard to do. This channel will be 2 months old soon and it's already at 750 hours watch time so i'd say that's pretty decent. Subs come along the way as the content delivers. I agree, niche down does make the most sense since I am doing that on this channel and that's what's working. Great video as always Roberto!
I’ve been searching and watching content that would help me with growing on the platform. I have to say this have been the most helpful out of them all. Thank you for not sugarcoating anything but also encouraging people like myself to keep going.
The algorithm has blessed me with your video. Haven’t done anything with my channel in 2 years due to IRL stuff, but I’m getting back into it later year!
Good advice man. I'm just starting to do youtube videos so only got like 23 subs. I've been helping companies over the last 4 years with their marketing and we have done over $23M in extra revenue so going to start doing training videos. It's def hard at the start as no one knows who you are or even cares. What I find interesting is Mr Beast in his first year only had like 46 subs after doing 18 videos. That actually blows my mind because most people would have quit then. 18 videos, 46 subs, I'd say 99% of people would have quit and I think he was very close to quitting as well. I am going to push for regular videos 3-4 x per week and see what I can do in the next few years. Also, you're so right about the long game. The people that I help (off youtube) most of them think they can be millionaires by working 1-2 hours per day and it's frustrating to be the only coach that tells them it's impossible to do that with 1-2 hours per day. You actually got to put the work in and work 10-15 hour days until things start taking off. It's actually a lot of hard work. Goon on you for saying it how it is Got yourself a sub ;)
You get down to the nitty gritty and want to see everyone succeed. This is my second comment on one of your videos and I don’t comment a lot. Thank you for this great content. I started a motovlog recently (on a different channel) and will take this advice!
Nicely done Roberto. My take away was to have patience, learn, stay on a path and don't compare yourself to the other guy that may have gotten there faster.
Absolutely true about the niche. Gotta have something that can help others. What I find intriguing is the audience from another platform for over two years (Quora) is slow to get on board with the YT channel. Not complaining, just realizing how many truly support the work. It’s all good cause I know that God’s got this! Didn’t know I could even do videos but as a family member pointed out, “It is part of my calling.” Blessings to all and don’t give up. Keep going.
Thanks Roberto! I am on the journey to my first 100 videos and this helped me modify my own expectations and encouraged me to keep going. Appreciate it!
Just restarted got taken down last year over “spam” tried to appeal got no luck. But I’ve found the motivation an drive to keep going an not to give up and excited to see where this year takes me ‼️
I started my vlogging channel last year and I finally got to 50 subscribers in about 8 months. I'm very grateful that I got to this point as if I think about it, that's 50 people who are interested in my content! I know it might now sound like much but I'm very happy that even a few people are willing to come back and watch my vlogs. This year will be amazing, especially after implementing all of these techniques! Thank you so much for helping smaller channels like mine out :D
Thanks for the advice. Sometimes it’s overwhelming choosing a particular niche especially dealing with subscribers count. More grace to all of us still coming up ⬆️
What works is testing out different niches you have interest in, post 5 videos and see what TH-cam reacts best to. Then continue down the line of the best preforming videos/channel. I had 8 different channels and posted 2 or more videos a week on them. One is blowing up, so I’m only focusing on that one. To grow, you need to find gaps in TH-cam and post great videos in those gaps.
I love how this how to start a successful youtube channel isn't like all of the rest of them. This one actually covers different aspects and goes more in depth.
Greatest thing I have EVER heard from a TH-cam growth channel… “I’m going to warn you now…you should not be making content exclusively on the idea that it’s going to pay you a lot in ad revenue”.
Roberto . . . Thank you! The main thing i got today is to stick with my niche. I've been all over the place on my channel and I've quit several times. I'm getting ready to start it up again and I have to be true to my voice. I am an entertainer/musician/comedian . . . I am also a senior citizen by age, but not by mind. I truly enjoy watching your content.
Thanks Roberto, extremely high value as always 🙏. Yea, I’d say again the fact that I need to accept how long it takes to succeed. 😉 And I’d like to learn more about how to actually “get people to buy from my affiliate links in my videos“ 🙈
Are your horse and dog porn vids not selling anymore you guys??? Now you are begging on YT for some change L M F A O , how f .... sad can you get .... 🙏😉🙈 = explained : you 🙏 for the 🙈 not to open his eyes 😉 Selling YT lmao starter kits ???? ... obviously a real Black (on Blonds, lol) revolutionary ....
Aye man you spitting facts i glad i found your channel hopefully everyone in the comments my self included can take off and achieve whatever it it we are shooting for❗️❗️❗️
This video is Gold! The tricks and the trades + the time to time realistic yet the motivation talks is what most of the small starting out creators needed to hear. 🎉✨
I’ve wanted to be a TH-cam for over 10 years. I’ve finally gotten the guts to do so Dec 4, 2021. I’m constantly looking at your videos and others to find ways to improve. I was able to obtain 41 subscribers within my first month which was a major accomplishment for me lol. I’m taking these small victories. I’d like to know how to get more views on my videos. My highest viewed video is 165 views currently. I believe I’ve found my niche just not getting enough exposure i guess.
Congrats on finally getting the courage to start your channel! It can be scary putting yourself out there, but so much fun in the end. Good luck with your journey!
Hi, Roberto I am seriously thinking about starting a Channel. I attempted a long time ago then got discouraged. I have been looking at a lot of info on how to create a great channel. You have stood out from them all. I really enjoy how you deliver your content. You too are very compelling and enjoyable to listen too. Your Teaching abilities are extremly skillfull. I could go on and on about your style because I am a very anilitical person and love to learn. However I cannot learn from everybody. I am a visual learner, but your knowledge and delivery captured my attention. Thank you so much for sharing your deep, knowledge about your craft. You are what you preach. Take Care.
Hi Blake! each time I feel overwhelmed by lack of viewers and subscribers, I turn to your channel. Currently I on 51 video uploads and none with 5k views while many are under 100 views. Lets see what happen when I get to 100 uploads you talked about. Sometimes I feel like I am wasting my time and resources. Thanks Blake
Hi Roberto!! Been binge-watching your channel, could listen to your ALL DAY. Recently started my channel - completely unprepared, with only my phone. Your insighful thoughts is super energising and I enjoy the spirited delivery. Learning and taking it all in. You're awesome. Thank you for sharing!!
You are awsome so much good information. As Real Estate Brokers we have a hard time. Lol it must be included in our marketing. As most real estate agents Depending on the source, the percentage of real estate agents that fail in the business within the first 5 years ranges between 85-90%. When you think about it, nearly 9 of 10 new agents can expect to fail, which is an eye opener. Now to comitt to TH-cam most Realtors do not get the marketing. Even in mailouts they think they mail out and expect right if way listings and sells. I learned back in 85 it takes about 6 month consistently doing it.....😱
Very helpful. I was looking into this because of how I'm being taught to be so niche specific in my book, but I didn't think I would need to do the same thing on TH-cam. It's giving me a lot to think about, so that everything is integrated and I feel comfortable speaking on the same things and people. Thanks for this!
Man, I've watched a lot of "how to grow on TH-cam" videos and there's a lot of regurgitated info in those. This video has given me a lot of insights and knowledge I haven't heard anywhere else. Thank you!
I subscribed to this channel because so far you're the most realistic youtuber channel that came up in my feed. I love and appreciate the truth and being from a small island your advise simply hits home. Thank you , I really appreciate and I will definitely be watching your videos. They make the most sense to me 👌
I appreciate all the advice you share with us Roberto. I have given up several times to continue with my TH-cam channel. Watching your videos always inspires me.
Really relate to so much of this thank you for making this video. Just hit 1k myself and whilst I am so grateful- the graft is real and I am still learning with every video. I also don't take anything for granted when it comes to this platform. My ethos has always been the same...trying to add value to others first rather than thinking about the financial rewards or just doing it for that purpose.
Thanks for the knowledge pro, needed to hear this. Been on youtube for 6 years now and I'm at the pain part lol. But really love creating. I'm gonna try that niche strategy out. Stay dope and keep Killin it

Just top quality information. Legit sir! Subscribed.

Explain the effect it has on you and tell a story on how it has effected your social life or dating life (that will get viewers hooked).
Keep your videos short and straight to the point as people don't have long attention spans.
Good luck
As a viewer, I use my subscriptions as a "to do" list, like a memory jog of who I like. Counting on YT to regularly show me what they're doing is frustrating. Wonderful vid, thank you. Great advice for starting the new year!
Watched all the way to the end, having confidence is the key thing I will try to improve on. Thanks, Roberto!
I really appreciate your vids, they are straight to the point and very thorough at the same time. As an ex-gang member now trying to reach other gang members and encourage them to leave gangs it is tough. Your content lays out the path and what it will take to be successful. Gby
Good luck to you sir. Don’t give up ❤️
Keep going!!! Love the work you’re doing!
I just saw this video, i think this is the only one video any new youtuber like me should be watching.
What else can I make to help someone like you?
Good advice Roberto. It's about the long game. I enjoy watching you, Nick Nimmon, and occasionally Brian G Johnson. I have, within the last two weeks, hit the 1000 subs threshold. I had to take a break for a little while, but I'm back. Sometimes reminding myself why I'm here helps. For me, it's not about the money as much as it's about the viewers. I teach camping skill to youth. I've done so since 1985. I started TH-cam to get their attention. And offer an experience that taught the skills and did so in a family friendly atmosphere. That continues to drive me. Many of the kids I teach have no father figure to look up to, it is my mission to be an example for them. Weather boy, or girl. I was one of those kids as a youth. For a short time, I had an older gentleman take me under his wing. It was short lived due to his health. But it gave me a glimpse of what mentorship was like. Thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot.
It’s because of content creators such as you that made it easier for the ones of today ... so thank you .
Thanks for sharing this Robert! Rooting for everybody and hoping we all crush it this year on TH-cam.
you might have chronic laryngitis that has put your voice out of commission for reading ghost stories for years, but hey. still going, and still watching your videos for years now. theres always something I need to learn every year. seems like each year the algorithm shifts a little and video "trends" are always changing, so I'm trying to be as adaptable as ever.
great video. thank you for helping out us little guys & happy new year to you, Roberto.
I started this new channel this year, Jan 2nd 2022. This is not my first channel but is preforming very well. I think this channel can hit those milestones you are listing but that will likely take some time. However I think if people making money part time it's successful too because even that alone is super hard to do. This channel will be 2 months old soon and it's already at 750 hours watch time so i'd say that's pretty decent. Subs come along the way as the content delivers. I agree, niche down does make the most sense since I am doing that on this channel and that's what's working. Great video as always Roberto!
Thanks for taking the time
Roberto is straight up no bs guy, thats what i like. Reality is what it is. Success doesnt come for free.
I’ve been searching and watching content that would help me with growing on the platform. I have to say this have been the most helpful out of them all. Thank you for not sugarcoating anything but also encouraging people like myself to keep going.
This is very informative Roberto! Thank you for your tips and advice. I like how you present the details so calmly and with no fluff. Thanks!
The algorithm has blessed me with your video. Haven’t done anything with my channel in 2 years due to IRL stuff, but I’m getting back into it later year!
Good advice man.
I'm just starting to do youtube videos so only got like 23 subs.
I've been helping companies over the last 4 years with their marketing and we have done over $23M in extra revenue so going to start doing training videos.
It's def hard at the start as no one knows who you are or even cares.
What I find interesting is Mr Beast in his first year only had like 46 subs after doing 18 videos.
That actually blows my mind because most people would have quit then.
18 videos, 46 subs, I'd say 99% of people would have quit and I think he was very close to quitting as well.
I am going to push for regular videos 3-4 x per week and see what I can do in the next few years.
Also, you're so right about the long game.
The people that I help (off youtube) most of them think they can be millionaires by working 1-2 hours per day and it's frustrating to be the only coach that tells them it's impossible to do that with 1-2 hours per day.
You actually got to put the work in and work 10-15 hour days until things start taking off.
It's actually a lot of hard work.
Goon on you for saying it how it is
Got yourself a sub ;)
Thank you for this video. I started watching your oldest videos first and man your growth over the years is motivating
You get down to the nitty gritty and want to see everyone succeed. This is my second comment on one of your videos and I don’t comment a lot. Thank you for this great content. I started a motovlog recently (on a different channel) and will take this advice!
Nicely done Roberto. My take away was to have patience, learn, stay on a path and don't compare yourself to the other guy that may have gotten there faster.
Thank you very much, this is very helpful. Watched all the way to the end
To all new TH-camrs!! We got this!! we are all in this together! Nice Job Roberto Blake👍👍
Absolutely true about the niche. Gotta have something that can help others. What I find intriguing is the audience from another platform for over two years (Quora) is slow to get on board with the YT channel. Not complaining, just realizing how many truly support the work. It’s all good cause I know that God’s got this! Didn’t know I could even do videos but as a family member pointed out, “It is part of my calling.” Blessings to all and don’t give up. Keep going.
Thanks Roberto! I am on the journey to my first 100 videos and this helped me modify my own expectations and encouraged me to keep going. Appreciate it!
Just restarted got taken down last year over “spam” tried to appeal got no luck. But I’ve found the motivation an drive to keep going an not to give up and excited to see where this year takes me ‼️
I started my vlogging channel last year and I finally got to 50 subscribers in about 8 months. I'm very grateful that I got to this point as if I think about it, that's 50 people who are interested in my content! I know it might now sound like much but I'm very happy that even a few people are willing to come back and watch my vlogs. This year will be amazing, especially after implementing all of these techniques! Thank you so much for helping smaller channels like mine out :D
I like this shot - your background with the blur isn't too busy but I dig the stuff back there, you look super crisp....really well done!
Thanks!
Thanks for the advice. Sometimes it’s overwhelming choosing a particular niche especially dealing with subscribers count. More grace to all of us still coming up ⬆️
What works is testing out different niches you have interest in, post 5 videos and see what TH-cam reacts best to. Then continue down the line of the best preforming videos/channel. I had 8 different channels and posted 2 or more videos a week on them. One is blowing up, so I’m only focusing on that one. To grow, you need to find gaps in TH-cam and post great videos in those gaps.
I don’t disagree beyond the number of post varying based on the person
I love how this how to start a successful youtube channel isn't like all of the rest of them. This one actually covers different aspects and goes more in depth.
THANK YOU for this. Extremely valuable 🙏🏾
Greatest thing I have EVER heard from a TH-cam growth channel… “I’m going to warn you now…you should not be making content exclusively on the idea that it’s going to pay you a lot in ad revenue”.
It’s one of the more practical things I feel is ignored
One of the only TH-camrs that I’ll let the commercials play! I appreciate you Roberto! ✊🏾😎
Appreciate you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the video mate!! Another motivational and eye opening one. Best wishes and Happy New Year!!
Roberto . . . Thank you! The main thing i got today is to stick with my niche. I've been all over the place on my channel and I've quit several times. I'm getting ready to start it up again and I have to be true to my voice. I am an entertainer/musician/comedian . . . I am also a senior citizen by age, but not by mind. I truly enjoy watching your content.
Since I took on board this just get 100 videos done attitude my frustration has plummeted and my content is getting better. Good advice.
great video blake. when i used to watch you, you didn't have a moustache. good to see your still going strong
Thanks for the understanding 🙏🏾 I will be taking your advice and implement them into my TH-cam channel.
Thanks again
Thanks Roberto, extremely high value as always 🙏. Yea, I’d say again the fact that I need to accept how long it takes to succeed. 😉 And I’d like to learn more about how to actually “get people to buy from my affiliate links in my videos“ 🙈
Are your horse and dog porn vids not selling anymore you guys??? Now you are begging on YT for some change L M F A O , how f .... sad can you get .... 🙏😉🙈 = explained : you 🙏 for the 🙈 not to open his eyes 😉 Selling YT lmao starter kits ???? ... obviously a real Black (on Blonds, lol) revolutionary ....
Aye man you spitting facts i glad i found your channel hopefully everyone in the comments my self included can take off and achieve whatever it it we are shooting for❗️❗️❗️
This whole video was beautifully done and articulated! Thank you for making this video! It helped me out so much!
Great video man! your older videos like this deffo helped me pull the trigger on starting my channel! thanks and happy new year!
Hi Roberto, we just passed our100 crappy videos!! Ready to find our Niche and go hard 2022! As always thanks for inspiration and great tips.😎
Everything was helpful, thanks ( talking about consistency of making videos really hit the point)
This video is Gold! The tricks and the trades + the time to time realistic yet the motivation talks is what most of the small starting out creators needed to hear. 🎉✨
I’ve wanted to be a TH-cam for over 10 years. I’ve finally gotten the guts to do so Dec 4, 2021. I’m constantly looking at your videos and others to find ways to improve. I was able to obtain 41 subscribers within my first month which was a major accomplishment for me lol. I’m taking these small victories. I’d like to know how to get more views on my videos. My highest viewed video is 165 views currently. I believe I’ve found my niche just not getting enough exposure i guess.
Congrats on finally getting the courage to start your channel! It can be scary putting yourself out there, but so much fun in the end. Good luck with your journey!
@@ThisBlondeLife thank you so much! I am enjoying the ride for the most part. 💜
41 subs within the first month is GREAT! Congrats
41 subs in 1 month is amazing! Keep pushing and you will accomplish your dream. Wishing you the best of luck!
@@affiliatemarketingdiaries thank you so much! 💜
Hi, Roberto I am seriously thinking about starting a Channel. I attempted a long time ago then got discouraged. I have been looking at a lot of info on how to create a great channel. You have stood out from them all. I really enjoy how you deliver your content. You too are very compelling and enjoyable to listen too. Your Teaching abilities are extremly skillfull. I could go on and on about your style because I am a very anilitical person and love to learn. However I cannot learn from everybody. I am a visual learner, but your knowledge and delivery captured my attention. Thank you so much for sharing your deep, knowledge about your craft. You are what you preach. Take Care.
Hey bro, I would like to learn more about brand deals and how to know the rates to charge.
Yeah there needs to be a video covering those topics.
The first 100 video's strategy. Content consistency is very important.
Thank you
Hi Blake! each time I feel overwhelmed by lack of viewers and subscribers, I turn to your channel. Currently I on 51 video uploads and none with 5k views while many are under 100 views. Lets see what happen when I get to 100 uploads you talked about. Sometimes I feel like I am wasting my time and resources. Thanks Blake
Hi Roberto!! Been binge-watching your channel, could listen to your ALL DAY. Recently started my channel - completely unprepared, with only my phone. Your insighful thoughts is super energising and I enjoy the spirited delivery. Learning and taking it all in. You're awesome. Thank you for sharing!!
Appreciate you!
You are awsome so much good information. As Real Estate Brokers we have a hard time. Lol it must be included in our marketing. As most real estate agents Depending on the source, the percentage of real estate agents that fail in the business within the first 5 years ranges between 85-90%. When you think about it, nearly 9 of 10 new agents can expect to fail, which is an eye opener.
Now to comitt to TH-cam most Realtors do not get the marketing. Even in mailouts they think they mail out and expect right if way listings and sells. I learned back in 85 it takes about 6 month consistently doing it.....😱
This was really clear and encouraging!
It definitely was!
I can dig it. Good to hear these words. I wish everyone gets monetized this year.
Nice vibe! This video felt encouraging as well as informative! keep at it !
Very helpful. I was looking into this because of how I'm being taught to be so niche specific in my book, but I didn't think I would need to do the same thing on TH-cam. It's giving me a lot to think about, so that everything is integrated and I feel comfortable speaking on the same things and people. Thanks for this!
You can think of each year on TH-cam as writing a book in a series each year with 12 chapters if it helps
@@RobertoBlake that’s really 🔥🔥 thx for sharing!!
Learning the viewer behavior of my niche. That's a good one.
Man, I've watched a lot of "how to grow on TH-cam" videos and there's a lot of regurgitated info in those.
This video has given me a lot of insights and knowledge I haven't heard anywhere else.
Thank you!
I subscribed to this channel because so far you're the most realistic youtuber channel that came up in my feed. I love and appreciate the truth and being from a small island your advise simply hits home. Thank you , I really appreciate and I will definitely be watching your videos. They make the most sense to me 👌
Glad to hear it! More to come!
@@RobertoBlake glad to hear from you too , I'm watching you right this moment, I love your content and I do look forward to more realistic advise 😊
Most helpful Video I’ve seen in awhile 🙏🏾🐐 one question should I rebrand or make a new channel ?
I appreciate all the advice you share with us Roberto. I have given up several times to continue with my TH-cam channel. Watching your videos always inspires me.
Really relate to so much of this thank you for making this video. Just hit 1k myself and whilst I am so grateful- the graft is real and I am still learning with every video. I also don't take anything for granted when it comes to this platform. My ethos has always been the same...trying to add value to others first rather than thinking about the financial rewards or just doing it for that purpose.
Thanks 😊 such great advice! 👍 Love your videos! -Blessings to All!
Yayy you made an updated version, thank you. I just uploaded my first video and I will be consistent. Can't wait to see where I am a year from now
Thank you for the tips this year im working on improving an researching more on my content to continue to build my audience thanks again
This is the way …
Great content Roberto , I liked all of the info that you presented and I subscribed as well thanks again
Thanks for the knowledge pro, needed to hear this. Been on youtube for 6 years now and I'm at the pain part lol. But really love creating. I'm gonna try that niche strategy out. Stay dope and keep Killin it
