Facebook was and really still is my biggest source of traffic. My channel is based on a local niche therefore, local groups often expect me to post a link to my video. However, Facebook is changing its algorithm to a point where external links don't get the attention they used to. I can already...

Maybe you are overwhelming viewers with content. Just as an experiment, try uploading less. I went to one video each day for about a month and noticed my engagement, views and subscribers dropped significantly. I was also doing really long videos as well. Then I slowed down and only increased as...

To be honest, I'd rather watch tips from smaller tubers than the larger ones. Small channels are really dependent on their strategies for growth. Bigger tip channels are good but a lot of the repeat the same content over and over because their stats tell them that content gets them more...

Hiking with Shawn concentrates on promoting the US Shawnee National Forest and other hiking and outdoor recreational areas in southern Illinois. https://www.youtube.com/c/hikingwithshawn/ Link to my review...

That is something your going to have to change in YouTube/Google. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2976309?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

I have a stack of SD cards that are full of unused footage. When I am sick, I become an editing ninja and pump out new video content. So sick for me is good for editing but not good for the bank. The last flu I has gave me severe chest pains. I went to the DR and they made me go to the ER where...

Some of the pranks are funny but when they turn into "shock pranks", they are only going to result in a toxic response and the creators often no better... Most of the pranks though, are extremely duplicated and overused by channel after channel. Anymore, I skip the prank videos.

First of all, welcome! I wouldn't worry. There are alternative monetization tactics available to get you more money rather than having a middle man like AdSense/AdWords. Why not just focus on making your channel great for now and then worry about the rest, later. If we keep becoming...

Welcome to TubeBuddy, you joined a great community of some great folks here :)

Happy belated birthday :) Love that you shared some of it with us through your photography! :)

I like my YouTube videos. On Facebook, it shows who likes the videos so it is a bit more stranger.

Looking at your channel today... I think you are off to a good start. But I do have a few bits of suggestions nonetheless :) As for the look at feel of the channel... PROS: I know instantly that you're a toy reviewer because your channel art tells me that right away. I think that is a big...

Snake videos really got my videos to take off, here is one of them that go me a lot of engagement...

10+ waterfalls in one hike :D

Just picked up the Rode Video Mic Pro... We have a special forest service road in my parts that closes two times a year for the annual snake and reptile migrations. I use a Sony AX-53 4K handycam for filming there. Mainly because I can zoom really close to a venomous snake without getting in...

At 14 videos, I wouldn't focus on views. Like the suggestions above, you're a small channel, focus on growth of your channel and the videos you make, rather than the stats. I think focusing on stats too early overwhelms new channels and bores them of continuing. I see that from all the newbies...

I'd work on making your channel more flashier as well. Thumbnails need bigger text sizes, with TubeBuddy, there is a lot you can do with a thumbnail as well :) Your channel art is nice but it needs something else, maybe some text explaining more about what the viewer is going to see? Also, make...

I created three t-shirts with them the other day. Before I launch any sort of store, I went ahead and bought them first. I want to see how good they are before I commit. I'll update my thoughts in the thread when I get them and wear them a bit :)

I always tend to get the urge to write articles when I visit this forum. So here I go again, haha. I think the topic of this article warrants it here on Tube Buddy so that is where it is getting posted! Are you a small channel? Do you want to make money with your channel? If you answered yes...

But if you keep those channels going and increase the views, they will then become eligible ;) At least from what I understand, please correct me if I am wrong.
