Hey there donΓÇÖt stress man, youΓÇÖre on a long painful journey with the rest of us, so let me give you a few pointers:
Patience - youΓÇÖre gonna need tons of this on tap, many YouTube hopefuls didnΓÇÖt exercise patience, and other things, which meant their channel came to a screeching halt, so if you donΓÇÖt want to be this, you best be patient with your channel, itΓÇÖs a long hard road.
Thumbnails - make sure your thumbnails give potential viewers a clear idea of what to expect from your video, as this is the first thing that boings out at the viewers, make it attractive but donΓÇÖt over complicate it, and make sure the text is readable.
Beefy Videos - which videos pulled viewers and gave lots of view time? YouΓÇÖll probably want to make similar content that pulls views, as this is what made the viewers watch your videos as they had something to offer.
Uploading - the reason people subscribe is because they saw something they liked in one of your videos, so they hit the big red in the hopes that youΓÇÖll continue to provide that kind of content, so make sure you upload consistently and give the viewers what they subscribed for.
The power of sharing - remember to share your videos on the different platforms, but donΓÇÖt go spamming everywhere, be a part of the various communities and let everyone know what youΓÇÖre about and what youΓÇÖre offering.
Never let your channel stress you - IΓÇÖm at 73 subscribers and IΓÇÖm in no way stressing, IΓÇÖm getting something like 10-20 views per video and thatΓÇÖs it, my latest video bombed really hard at just 9 views, but none of that bothers me at all, first, I finally have my teaching career back, so IΓÇÖll be busy with that, second, I have to raise my little girl, IΓÇÖm busy with that too, third, I havenΓÇÖt fooled myself into thinking that I must make it big on YouTube in the quickest possible time, in short, IΓÇÖve got a life outside the internet that takes much more priority over my channel. Never let your channel stress you out, because if it does, YouTube isnΓÇÖt for you.
Lastly, donΓÇÖt be fooled into thinking your channel is just going to go WOOOOOSH and suddenly become big quickly, only a few got lucky with this, and the problem now is that so many others are seeing this and thinking they will have the same luck, only to find out how hard it really is to get a channel up and running, and when said channels donΓÇÖt go off like a rocket, those creators start getting upset, do you want to be this kind of creator?
If not, have patience my friend.
ThatΓÇÖs all from me.
