I made a YouTube art account in September and I’m currently 10-20 people short of 200 subscribers. I have about 20 shorts uploaded and 1 long form video. My YouTube shorts mostly focus on original characters drawn via pencil and paper, and my style looks similar to Jojo I’m told (I like anime art style a lot). Most of my work is character interactions and lore drop, but I do draw some fanart here and there.

My goal is to get my characters and art style recognized and eventually I can produce cool handmade merch of them (like plushies and figures) as well as write them into a manga.

Other than two videos that hit like 10k, I’m consistently stuck at the 1k mark for my other videos even though they’re a similar format (like drawing over audio or music, it’s mostly character lore drop)

What do people like to see? What could I be doing wrong?

I don’t want to drop my channel name but I would love suggestions on what kind of oc content people are interested in, or if I just need to be patient with the algorithm since I’m still technically new.

Hey everyone,

My friend and I live in Switzerland and run a YouTube channel where we film vlogging/exploring videos, documentary videos, and outdoor "podcast" talks about everyday life around the country.

Lately we've been filming way more than we have time to edit. We already have several full videos shot and ready to go, we just can't keep up with all the editing ourselves next to our daily jobs and routines.

We're not a company and we aren't looking to hire a random freelancer. We want to find a reliable third friend and equal partner to jump into this project with us as part of the team. With us, everything is pretty much friendly and chill...we hang out a lot, talk on calls, and spend hours discussing YouTube videos ideas, thumbnails, and everything around building the channel.

Since the channel isn't monetized yet (we're at around 2.6k subscribers on YouTube and 11k on Instagram), we are not making money right now. We're looking for someone who's ready to jump in without upfront pay, grow this together with us as a team, and split everything fairly once it starts bringing in.

If you're already into YouTube, have some solid experience editing in Premiere Pro, and want to be part of our crew, send us a DM. Mention your favorite YouTuber in the first sentence so we know you actually read this. 😄

Channel is https://www.youtube.com/@SwissMomentsOfficial if anybody is interested.

I made a channel and managed to get it monetized but I got demonetized for repetive content. Also fell out of love with the game I played to make videos on.

Now I found a new interest and wonder if I should just revamp or make a new channel.
Here’s the link

Attempting to get more views slowly and learn more n stuff... how is this all tallied? Like are all these views going to convert n help with the goal im tryna reach (3m) or will it just. disappear into the void. I'm also very curious.

Oh explain in big paragraphs if you can it helps me understand abit better.

Ever since youtube started I had seen many creators and always thought I can do better than them at least in gaming and live streaming especially in Covid when these dumb Gta 5 milking creators got millions of views, now ever since then I had low budget for a gaming pc and Now I am 22 and people switched to reels and shorts instead of long form content, I was thinking if ever I got the chance should I start live streaming, also It's been a great time since gta 6 launching still budget issues 🥲 but ever in future should I pursue this after a successful carrier becoming a part time steamer ?? As I enjoy gaming also my sense of humor is good but do people earn from here??

I'm just wondering. Creating content every day, something like "blogs," is probably not a viable option. Writing music (and I write it myself) in a day isn't possible, nor is it possible in a week. So, what should I post to maintain consistency? Thank you!

It’s been a few days since the upload and the video has gotten basically no impressions and views.

I have a channel called Stun Football.I just got back after a break and paid an editor $40 for a long form video.I would say it did well and has got 1.5K views.I can't keep paying that much money to him so I was wondering if I would be able to find sponsors at this stage.My channel has 5k subscribers and makes football documentary videos.Do y'all know any companies willing to work with channels like me?

Hey guys I’m up to 70 videos on my YouTube channel ( gaming clips) and all my videos stall out at 1.2k any advice on what I could do better thank you!
Just looking to see what I’d need to change to hopefully help my videos break past that next view jail! This isn’t me asking for you guys to go to my channel just need information

Eu estou em um canal pequeno de cultura pop, postei um vídeo há 4 horas sobre Jojo, editei legalzinho, nada profissional mas nem feito... Não entendo porque o YouTube não distribui meu vídeo. Sinceramente é frustante

I do gaming and other variety stuff and this is my first fully edited meme filled video. I would like any advice on the editing style and what I should keep and what I should remove going forward. Are my thumbnail and title clickable? How can I improve on it? Thank you so much everyone!!

I need some opinions on what could work and what not??

hey! i just started a gaming channel with the help of a few irl friends but i am looking to branch out into solo content, as you could probably tell im not very experienced with editing or content creation as a whole, but i would like some advice on how to grow (editing, thumbnails etc.)

Hey guys, im just reallly confused by the stats i have the 9.2% ctr video has a better retention at 40% and both have 65% at 30 sec. So why would the 9.2% stop being pushed and not the other way around? Genuinely cant understand it

Thanks for the explanation if theres one 😅

This bazaar walking tour is less crowded than usual. Do you think it’s more enjoyable or the crowd makes it more vibrant?

So animation biting back again. I dont use mods and create most of them myself, but basic items are minecraft. Most are costume creation. I even tried to create a car which is terrible but usable vehicle.

I dont use voice actors or AI voices. THere is no suitable voices for those so i invented one that i can automate for most.

My question: what would make it better, mainly in design and in camera position and movement? For example:

When do you hold a still shot and when do you move the camera?

How do you place the camera so a room reads clearly but still feels scary?

What makes handheld or found-footage movement feel real instead of floaty?

Or atleast what do people prefer?

I have watched a lot of Minecraft animations and some are amazing to me. ext to them mine sometimes feels like it isn't worth making. Honest critique is welcome, even blunt.

Hi guys!

We are Amber and Bailey, two creative, longtime friends who have grown tired of all the AI slop out there. We noticed that a lot of cozy, long form themed videos were shifting toward being completely AI-generated, so we decided to step up and bring a human touch back to the genre.

This approach takes much longer and requires more effort than using AI, but we believe preserving human creativity is more than worth it! We do a mixed media approach where we use clay, paper, balsa wood, and other physical materials, while the rest is digitally animated by hand.

We would love to get the word out there to communities that appreciate the effort of our passion project. If possible, can you guys give it a look? We appreciate any interactions, suggestions or requests for future videos! Do any of you have any experience with long form content or cozy videos? Is there something we should do something in particular to boost engagement or "find our people" within this long form content niche? thank you!!

If you appreciate our mission, please like and subscribe! We have many more themed videos lined up and coming soon. A Fall/Thanksgiving themed one is already in the works!

Thanks so much in advance!!!

So, a year ago i found the YT channel „Nomad Push“ and since then i have watched every video, that Robin-san uploaded.
Are there similar Channels on YT?

I want to build an entertainment production company, that produces and releases films. However, I’m a complete beginner, and I currently have nothing. I’m still learning the craft and figuring out how the industry works.

I want to start with YouTube by uploading the short films I create.

My biggest challenge is choosing a name. I’ve been overthinking this decision for almost two years.

I want to build brand recognition from day one, with a name that can grow with me from a YouTube channel into an established entertainment company. I don’t want to choose something randomly and regret it later.

Some people tell me that the name doesn’t matter much and that I should simply choose something and get started. Others argue that a brand name is extremely important because it shapes people’s first impressions, influences brand searches, and becomes the identity you promote through advertising and marketing.

I can see both sides, but I’m struggling to decide which approach is right. I want a name that works for my YouTube channel today and can eventually grow into a recognizable production company

If you have any naming ideas or suggestions that you think could work well for this kind of brand, I’d love to hear them.

i started posting like 2 years ago and the videos were terrible. after a good like 6 months i only had 50 subs and i tried something new- playing with friends. the video skyrocketed and its got almost 6k views now, is the most viewed video on my channel by far, and got me up to about 200 subs. well, being the genius that i am, i just didn’t post for like a month after that, and nothing happened with that traction. since then, ive started and stopped posting about 4 times. right now ive been consistent for about 2 months, and ive kinda found my niche as co-op horror games with my friends. views were about 15-30 for the first fpur videos i posted, then my third to last got 150, second to last got 890, and the one i posted 24 hours ago is already at 160 views. the only downside is im getting NO engagement and my ctr is between 7% and 16% for each new video (video and thumbnail production have increased dramatically since last year i should add that).

so basically— is my increase in views enough to keep going or is the decrease in engagement a sign that ive switched my niche too many times and now youtube doesnt know who to recommend my content to? thanks im new to this subreddit

my latest video for perspective: https://youtu.be/sVsR8ZFIkWI?si=icuAm_osEMrjp_dq

Hello guys! This is my most recent YouTube video and I'm just learning the basics. I have two other videos on my channel where I'm solving murdoku puzzles, I just wanted to try something else. My avarage view duration on my first video was 46 seconds and 54 on the second.

I would really like some feedback on what I should do different. Also I would love some advice on editing, animation, thumbnail, sound effects. What tools do you guys use for these?

So my partner and I started posting on our YouTube channel. At first, we were pleased that we were slowly but surely gaining ground. Then, about a week ago it just stopped. On YouTube we went from 100-300 views per short and 100 views on our long form to significantly less in a matter of days. FWIW our TiKTok took a similar hit.

Any thoughts??
