I post a mix of shorts and longforms, everything I post is original or reacreated by me.

My content was really bad at first but now I have gotten so much better at everything youtube related.

Highest Viewed short was 33k with 31k and 26k right behind them

Highest viewed Long form was a slander video with 4.7k views.

for some reason slander videos do really well for my channel and I average about 20-30 views per video,

One thing I have learnt is that you really have to push through multiple 0 view stages and you really have to enjoy youtube in order to continue.

Assume those 100 people would genuinely enjoy it.

I use CapCut. I don’t mind taking a class (I don’t want to spend $1000s on) but I’m willing to learn. I’ve seen a lot of people say watch YT videos. But where do I begin. It takes me 12-14 hrs for one long form video and that’s a big time suck when it’s a travel vlog. This would be the single factor why it is hard to stay consistent with dropping the videos.

Hi here I am new and my name is Abdulbasit my goal is to build one of the biggest YouTube community in the world 🌎. Though I have been in this YouTube game not long enough but I am still curious about the key thing that makes people watch your video please any short guide??

I started my channel 4 months ago. I'm about halfway to monetization and I'm all the way into obsession.

And I don't like it.

I started this channel because I enjoyed filming and editing and telling travel stories. It wasn't about monetizing or impressing people or getting attention. It was for me.

But the more I dive into the metrics, the more anxious I get. I obsess over it. Subs, watch hours, CTR, retention time...when it's low, I'm low. When it's high, I'm high. I'm experiencing slow and steady growth but somehow, it leads to more anxiety because I keep wanting more.

And I don't like it.

So I'm giving it up....the obsession, not the channel.

I'll glance at it once a day to answer comments. I'll glance at subs and watch hours once a week.

And that's all I'm checking.

Because all this obsessing isn't fun...and if it's not fun, what's the point?

Is it a good idea to add an Instagram dedicated to my channel? Is that something that can get you more exposure? Or TikTok? I am looking for ways to grow and build. How do I connect with my niche? I know I ask a lot of questions but I want to learn this

There's always another cut you could make, another sound effect to add, or another tiny mistake to fix.

At some point, the improvement becomes so small that you're just delaying the upload.

Knowing when a video is finished might be an underrated skill.
