    Small CZcamsrs are fed a lot of misinformation when it comes to growing a CZcams channel. In this video I'm attempting to clear up some of the myths of being a Small CZcamsr and how to grow your channel the right way, build an audience and not get discouraged by focusing on the wrong things.
    These Small CZcamsr Problems are very common and it can be easy to get down because of them or feel discouraged, but you have to remember that is a marathon not a race and that you can grow on CZcams if you are patient, work hard and are honest with yourself about why you want to grow a CZcams channel in the first place.

    I have 30 subscribers. The video I posted took me 10 hours to make. It got 40 views. It was worth it. Im don't want to be a famous CZcamsr. I want to make content that I care about and share it with others. That's why those 10 hours were worth it. Thanks for the advise Roberto

    I started creating content in September to help people improve their English, being a language learner myself, I had an idea how to create content in a different way to the usual stuff on CZcams.
    This week I went over 200 subs.
    So happy with that!! That means that 200 people at least have improved their English because of my videos!😊😊😊
    Thanks for the video man !!

  • @BrookieMarieTV
    @BrookieMarieTV Před 6 lety +49

    I agree 100% with the not comparing yourself to "Big CZcamsrs". Once it stopped doing that I enjoyed everything so much more!! Now I'm so excited/grateful about my 75 subscribers. And because of that I've seen a HUGE difference within my videos. If anyones doubtful just keep your eye on the prize!!

    On my 65th birthday, I decided to start working our CZcams channel. That was in August and I'm really enjoying it. I'm watching a lot of these videos and my manager is learning so fast. The videos are still a bit rough and we got our first unlike, behind us. I just had to get over my 'grandma waddle' and decide that I have a valuable message to provide. Thanks, Roberto, you did it again!

  • @liliandraw5751
    @liliandraw5751 Před 7 lety +12

    I feel like a lot of people (including myself) expect growing a CZcams channel to be easy, especially since every day most of us watch 'big subscribers' videos and I think we're kinda used to seeing the big numbers.
    I was really discouraged a few months ago when my channel wasn't growing as fast as I had expected. So just a little advice to anyone that stumbles upon this comment; try to have low expectations. xD
    Idk, this might not work for everyone, but It's how I get through it whenever working really long on a video, which ends up getting less views than I would hope.

  • @juhfahel
    @juhfahel Před 5 lety +6

    I for really did a screen recording of you saying “it doesn’t have to be about the numbers. If you wanna make videos, make Vídeos. If you wanna make CZcams make CZcams. Even if you get subscribers or if you do t get subscribers” don’t quit!!!

  • @koloseta
    @koloseta Před 5 lety +3

    Not only is the video great, but these comment sections keep me motivated. So many CZcamsrs that just want to help everyone else out, its truly awesome.

  • @GoHerping
    @GoHerping Před 8 lety +10

    I just hit 1k subscribers! Using your videos the past couple months gave me so much info. I definitely have you to thank to helping me get from being stuck at a couple hundred to 1000 so quickly.

    • @GoHerping
      @GoHerping Před 8 lety +3

      Thats exactly what I had been thinking. I remember I was stuck on 41 subscribers for about 2 years... but then the more content I made and the more active in the community I was, it slowly went up. As you progress, the faster you grow. For example, it took years for me to hit 100. Then, I hit 200 which still took about half a year. Then I hit 300 which was a little faster, then 500 which was even faster, and so on. So the more subs you have, the faster you grow apperently lol. So I recommend keeping at it. (Roberto has some other vids on why youtubers often fail that I watched and helped me)

  • @blacksunshine391
    @blacksunshine391 Před 6 lety +15

    I feel like I accomplished something with just 20 subs. Remember, CZcams is only worth it if you Don't feel as if it's a job instead of a fun hobby. It CAN be a job, but if it doesn't feel right, changing your content or taking a break is a good idea.

  • @NicholaNich

  • @PJDoesIt
    @PJDoesIt Před 6 lety +323

    Now, CZcams requires 10,000 views before you can monetize. It took me about 5 months to hit that. I actually think that is a good idea. Makes you work harder and smarter. Thanks for your tips.

    #9 is EXACTLY on point. The Big Guys can tag their own names where the smaller creator has to be more thoughtful and deliberate. What they’re doing now is not what allowed them to grow and the conditions they did it in have now changed. The concept is what to learn and then try to spot the current method that allows growth.

    I like number 7. Not to compare your channel to the biggest channels and think of each view as a unique person. Good advice. Makes me want to focus more on good content.

    Thank you for the advice ...
    One thing I’d say to keep your youtube channel cool ...
    Keep being “You”

    I came here looking for a playbook to sort out my 'stagnant' 950 subs 8 week old channel .... I now realize I'm doing the right things and as someone below said- I just need to run my own race. Great content Roberto- the first 'How to YT' video I have watched that felt truly honest and from the heart. Liked & subb'd!

    Learned more in 5 videos today, than in dozens of videos last couple of weeks. Thanks, dude!

    I want to thank you. I'm a autism mom that started my channel with the idea to help other families lower cost on items we use for our autism kiddos and share what we do at home hoping to help. I saw others that started at same time fly by me and I was discouraged. I like how simple, plain and to tree point you are. So much info thrown our way its easy to get confused.

    • @leaschmitt2496
      @leaschmitt2496 Před 7 lety +1

      I just started CZcams 2 months ago, and something that doesn't really get's sed in al of those videos is what grew my channel the most (in my own opinion). And that something is: do something that not Many people do, it sounds simple right? But think About it, you start out wich means you havent got the quality videos that people have from experience. So for example, you Could do cs:go videos but there are already thousends of people making those and They are probably of better quality. But you Could also do videos of smaller (less known/popular) games and get (in comparasing) a lot more vieuws. After a while when you have grown a steady base of people watching you can still slowly switch to Csgo but just to make your channel grow iTS probably better to do videos About something that is less competitive. For example, on my other channel (where i post my videos) i make videos About my pet button quail. Of course i Could just do pet videos but there is already a lot of people doing that. And now i get About 50 vieuws each day and i stand on top of the Search for button quail, just behind a video that has 50000 vieuws (i have About 200/video) even with the crappy quality of my sound and video. So that just shows that it is important...

    Shoutouts are not easy to get my friend. Nowadays the only shoutout you can get are from spam channel that do shoutout sunday. They can go to your channel and self promote and says that if you can stay as an active subscriber then you will get a free shoutout. And those people has 10k+ subs and 80% of them are not even real fans they are just subs for the shoutout and their chances of getting a shoutout are 1/10 000+
