Thanks for featuring me! I hope my example serves as a useful one for people trying to make a big splash with a small channel.
I definitely learned a few things myself from vidIQ's analysis. Like apparently an average view duration of 20 minutes is actually really good? I was looking at that and thinking it was bad, since it was such a small percentage of the whole video. There's a whole world of backend and presentational technique that I knew nothing about.
Congratulations man
ratio
Awesome, Greatest of Luck to you
Inspirational stuff!
I'm pretty sure the average view duration doesn't factor in subsequent views by the same people, so if you think about it, one person watching the video for 20 minutes (1 20-minute view) might *also* continue watching that same video the next day! (Yet *another* 20-minute view).
Edit: seems I was right, apparently CZcams calculates this by watch time/total number of views, so it does also count subsequent viewings by the same person on different days!
Your channel will be next! If you’re seeing this, don’t give up 💪
But I have had 80 subs for about 2 mouths now and my videos are getting around 30 views each even if they are pretty good… anyone have a idea what I should do?
Thank you !
Bro I started my channel and I didn't get any views but after a few days I got 2k 5k views but now suddenly my views are dead 😢
You too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you..
I am totally disillusioned. I don't get impressions even with great metrics. >15% CTR, huge engagement, no dislikes, high AVD. But CZcams refuses to show my video to anyone, I often get less than 100 impressions and even get 0 impressions from time to time, I am sick of this platform
ya same, I make football (European football) short videos and long videos and for past 2 weeks no one was is watching them, I feel like I'm black listed or shadow banned or something. I don't have any copyright claims or strikes. My account is clean. I was getting more views and impressions first month when I didn't have any followers, really odd and discouraging.
Wow! GG to them, And this is a dramatic intro! 😮
From 1 video that person is already basically monitised???
I got 300k views within a week, with my brand new channel. I was of course a little bit experienced on CZcams before but I would never think that's gonna happen.
That's awesome! Congratulations!
Good luck
This was probably one of the most insightful videos about HOW CZcams works that I ever seen... Fair play, thank you
"What content is missing on CZcams that people want to watch that I know a lot about? "That question is easier asked than answered!
Something that I DID decide to do was change the text on my thumbnails to white text and update my video titles so it draws in for more of a conversation aspect. Lots of people already use words and phrases like BEST, must have, essentials. But I feel like answering the question of “why” ____________ in the title incorporates more of a discussion.
It makes the videos more interactive and it’s like the creator is hanging out with their viewers. It’s like the creator is talking to their best friends.
So those are some things that I would recommend doing for your own channel.
That's a great tip. Thank you.
They also used the power of nostalgia, when you're older you reminisce on things that you used to do when you were young
Spent 11 months doing a channel with friends. We got 435 subs posting multiple weekly videos.
We split and I started a solo channel.
First video got 13k views and 460 subs. That was a massive eye opener!
That's fantastic! Congrats!
The explanation about the algorithm has literally happened to me on the last two uploads. I hope something special happens like this creator experienced.
I bet everything on the idea that it was time to start a channel on CZcams…
Here’s to years of hard work and getting better every step of the way. Best of luck everyone!
good luck for us
You got this! 💪
@@vidIQ thanks! With you guys’ resources anything is possible.
Thanks for giving knowledge 🔥
It's easy to blame the algorithm for not getting views, but if we stay accountable and work on our own content we can take small steps and get better every day! Stay strong and your channel will take off! Best of luck to everyone:)
I've just been accepted into YPP... Thank you vid iq
That's great! Congratulations!
This is my favourite video you've done because of the massive "show me, don't tell me" value. You really demonstrated the keys you've been highlighting over and over again and I feel like the education really lands and STICKS when you present it like this.
I truly think that small channels should use shorts to gain a following about a specific niche and eventually start making long form videos (especially now that there are so many new small channels)
That is my approach and I’m tweaking it as I go. I’m just a day over 2 months
Except subs gotten from shorts don't usually turn to subs for long content (eg the makeup channels with 300k+ subs and over 50 million views on shorts but less than 10k views on their longer vids. Those people aren't making much money unless they're directly selling stuff lol)
I’ve just started a small channel, early days and i’ve only been uploading for around a month. One of my videos also “blew up” in the relative sense, so I would say there isn’t a bias against new channels. Though i’m also not exactly sure what caused it to do so well. The retention isn’t great, nor is the click through rate, but regardless my channel certainly wasn’t discriminated against because of its size.
I wanted to say that your app is amazing it helped me a little bit to reach 1k but I downloaded other apps that made me reach 6k as I continue I appreciate you for making the app its a life saver
Can you please tell me other apps name?
Please can you tell us the app?
Hi
Gowan bro keep the grind on 👍👍👍👍
We are so happy to hear that! Thank you!
VidIQ: The algorithm is your friend
Also VidIQ: how to CRUSH the algorithm
@@vidIQ wait how did you comment that
@@realaarjavit's a channel sticker
@@realaarjavwhen u join member ship you can type that and make it appear. no problem! 😊
@@YourHotTakes ah I didn't know that
Absolutely! My first video blew up not just because it was engaging but because it was and still is a very high demand topic
The problem with the "The algorithm works tirelessly for you" statement is that most times it doesn't. Most times if you launch a video and it gets recommended to the wrong audience so the CTR and watch time is low the algorithm just flags that video "bad" and moves on. The only reason the algorithm tried in this example was because of the 28 minute AVD which is a massive outliner and not a normal AVD to get. If any of my videos drop blow 5% CTR that video is dead.
Facts
I have been binge watching your videos for 2 days and they have transformed my understanding of how to make progress on CZcams - thank you:) One question - for a channel that doesn't really resolve burning questions in people's lives, but rather shows them nice walks in towns and cities, I'm not sure how to apply a lot of the 'rules' on generating titles. I feel a little unsure with titles like 'do THIS one thing when walking around Richmond Park'...;)
Definitely:) It's better to adjust to your niche. Highly recommend checking out our Title Generator tool here:
vidiq.com/ai-title-generator/
I have been doing this type of thing on my own channel. I saw that there is no one doing guides and news updates for City of Heroes with the private servers keeping the game alive. So that is what I did for my channel and the exact same thing happened with my channel. The only difference is that my audience is a bit smaller so my numbers are not as big. But it is also getting people to check out the game and other videos I do about the game as they are getting interested in City of Heroes.
I have one question that i think a lot of small creators are interested in. If i have 0 views, 0 subscribers and i want to make a video about a topic that doesn't exist on CZcams, where will my viewers find my video? If i want to make a video about how people life's changed from 1950 to 2023. There are no keywords or specific audience for this. How can i make this work? Or how will this work on CZcams, how CZcams will find me viewers for my video, assuming it's a good video for everybody
Man youtube is really annoying, i did my best but nothing is working
Absolutely everything in this video is 100% true. I just started my channel, and monetized it in 4 weeks with 10 videos, over 3k subs, and over 5k watch time hrs (for some reason it took YT a sec to catch up). I did exactly what this creator did, and my channel is growing very quickly. Plus, I'm enjoying making the videos and the community we're building is beautiful.
I'm on week 5, approaching 4k subs and 7k watch time hrs. I can see everyday how the algorithm does its thing, sending out feelers here and there. Small channels can absolutely succeed.🎉
That’s awesome, congrats!
Congrats man love to hear it
I started a Football channel, can you tell me how to get on the algorithm
Hey man, amazing job you did there with your new channel! I have a question, was this your first CZcams channel? Or 2nd? 3rd? How many channels did it take for you to get it “right”? How much trial and error basically did it take to get to a successful channel as the one you are speaking of now?
I am sure this channel will continue to blow and grow with the stats you are talking about. That is amazing! 👍
@@TmoneyBagz1 I'm flattered by your questions! This is actually my very first channel. I tested out my content on Instagram and learned which art style appealed to my audience of 40k. When I came to CZcams, about 100 of them followed me here but then the algorithm slowly sent ppl my way. I make sure to talk in my videos, I respond to most comments, and I don't fill my videos with unnecessary fluff 😊. I also teach my audience lots of valuable things in every single video and I try to leave them with a pleasant/positive feeling so they are more willing to come back. I also give them lots of free stuff.
This is what I need to do. In other words this is also market search. This is my natural following strategy. Gaming was quite fun back in the day, and I think the first game I ever played on a console was “Manic Miner”. I have no idea how many people still know what that is. But yeah market search is possible in any area and there is a lot to explore there. Not my favorite work though but as Rob explains very well why this is important. Thanks for this very useful video!
Thanks for watching! We got you!
The problem I'm having now is, sometimes I upload a video that gets a good amount of views but the next one has less than 30 , even though the content I talk about is popular 🤔.
Maybe because I usually cover gaming news and talk about different games from different genres ?
Should I delete the videos with few views and take it as a test?
CZcams, occasionally rewards small channels and its all fine and good, until CZcams shuts the algorithm taps off and then petitions the channel to buy advertisements for their channel... I know of a channel that has 800k subscribers, avetage views of 500k per video... then it tanked to 800-1000 views per video and at the same time CZcams asks them to buy advertisements... sounds like sleazy behavior to me.
I have a very niche page and I would love to grow it. There is nothing like it, so being the first in a niche is nearly impossible to gain traction. Plus, being personalized, probably has it's down-sides - but the page was born out of need, not so much a desire to monetize.
Rob, how do you change content ideas without changing the original content algorithm...?
Thanks Rob!! So interesting! Thank you for always keeping us little ones in mind! We appreciate it! 💖
We are here for you!
Keep pushing everyone x
Absolutely
Just like all of your previous videos, this was incredibly insightful and inspiring! Another awesome reminder that it’s never too late to try something new and/or risky with our channels! It’s something I need to keep in mind with my videos!
Absolutely! Go for it!
Hi
Absolutely
@@vidIQ can the next video can be about me my name is Jedi’s world!
With 471 subs and over 6000 watch hours with 369 videos and shorts combined
I am new in the You Tube world, I recorded my friend and I am still in shocked because to me it was crazy in almost 4 months we are close to reach the 200K views and
I am still learning ( no monetizing yet) I am getting close to my 1000 subscribers, and that is one of the reasons why I keep on coming to your channel, thank you very much for all your advices on your vídeos. Keep it up 👍🏼
I have to admit, I do miss that game, lol. WTG!
Hello Rob, I did have a question. Is it allowed to use live streaming software under 1000 subscribers?
Never forget this sentence again: *The algorithm is very unpredictable.* It's controlled by AI to push out the right thing for the right viewers, no wonter why it's so smart??? Which is also the approximate reason why CZcams has "Tags", Also hey VidIQ, You should definitely add a "Members only" comment section. (Ex. @KreekCraft)
Overall this video is a .
Oh also the colors and visual effects of the "1 of 10" and "10 of 10" emoji should be swapped.
Thank you for reading this ridiculously long paragraph, Happy Uploading!
My most popular video was planned exactly this way. After over a year, it has over 10k views. So I can confirm this tactic works. I'm also using your video ideas tool and if I don't see related videos in that idea, I'm also prioritizing that idea.
Hi
Oh mighty CZcams Algorithm, let your blessings rain upon us with your almighty power. 🙏🙏🙏
Keep up the nice content vidIQ!
Didn’t expect to see a Gaming Historian video referenced on this channel. One of my favourite gaming channels, his videos are always very well produced
I've been creating videos on this channel and my older one (which was my main one for most of my time in CZcams). I was making bad quality content for an over saturated market. The videos that did well were the one off ones in less competitive areas. I couldn't convert into subs though because that's not what my content was about. Now I've learned so much from vidiq that I'm focusing on quality over quantity, niche down to have a better target audience, and things are going much better. I finally hit 1000 subs August 1 and now I'm at 1045 already. My monthly watch hours were around 100 and now over 250 for the last 28 days. I still have a long way to go for monetization but I no longer feel the algorithm is against me. I know it was me all along 😂
Another example of this would be this amazing channel called TurtleNation who's first video got over 100k views and 5k subs!
Surely He got through seo 😊😊
Congrats to them! Listening to what your audience wants is the key I think.. although I still haven’t figured it out myself 🤷🏼♂️
:O dang good for them! heres to theirs and everyones continued success. So uh they will do Tie Fighter at some point too right ;P
A question: is more important time or percent of length? For example, if I pubblish a video of 8 min and average is 6 min or i pubblish a video of 20min and average is 10 min, what is better for CZcams Algoritm ?
I am just curious... As a very small channel not doing great, I let most of my views come in organically. But now CZcams starts removing my views... Why? Now I resort to sharing on groups etc, which sometimes damages the videos? Is organic views not the way to go anymore as CZcams removes my views? I rarely share my videos with anybody.
Same is the case with me😢
Supply and demand! Thanks for the tip, I recently was looking for a tutorial to do with live-streaming Minecraft multiplayer (not saying exactly what so that no one makes a vid about it and steals my thunder) and found literally no videos on the topic.
Next video idea: found!
Thank you for walking us through on what they did, the insight is mind blowing...im going to try it!
CZcams needs to try out the first videos fo a new channel. Wing Commander is a big name. Retrospectives, as you said, are interesting. Channel got lucky that their video was promoted to the correct audience. Now the thing is: How will their next videos do? With X-Wing you have a Star Wars name. So yeah. Good chance that will make it too. But what happens when they dive into more niche content? Or when they create content which a lot of their now subs don't want to see? Doesn't even need to be off topic. But let's say they start analyzing a game like The Dig. There are a lot of channels who have one or two success videos while the other videos they are doing don't take off for whatever reason. You can look at your own upload history to see that.
I also don't think it gives good insight into the YT Algo by picking out the few channels who have success. How about some more insight into channels who do make good content but don't make it? It's easy finding channels taking off and then coming up with an explanation why they did take off. That's just feeding on survivor bias. It's way harder finding a reason why a smaller channel who does everything right is not taking off. And they exist. Look for these. Where you yourself think "Damn. That's a good channel. Why is it so small?"
I played the hell out of tie fighter back in 1996. So many early mornings before school and late nights afterwards. One of the best Star Wars games from the 90’s.
1:35 yooo the CZcams sub counter in the back jumps from 1.56 to 1.57
I had actually done the supply and demand strategy on my first video, and it's the best performing video of mine! But I didn't use that strategy on my next video, which I should have. Although, this video I will be trying to apply this strategy on one of my next video!
Great explanation touching about the technical and statistic. As they said, numbers wont lie. I'll keep coming back on this channel to learn more.
Hi, i have been watching your videos for a long time, you guys do a great job in addressing gaming channels, could you also look into codding/programming channels too? I understand that it might be hard for you, since it is outside of your expertise, but iam sure, you can give some useful insights for programming channels, specifically, i love to post my programming projects, i usually dont upload tutorials as there are already tons of it in youtube. If possible, kindly include this channel for auditing.
Great video again. Thank you so much for your help!!! I started being a CZcams creator back in May this year. I’m learning so much with every video. My niche is everything School Bus Driver related.
I can note also that the video is 2 hours long which I think is part of the algorythm, the longer your video, if it catches on, the more youtube will want to promote it.
Awesome...learned something again :). Question about something else though: I have a lot of old videos on my channel that no longer make sense to the current content (took me a while to figure out where I really wanted to go with my channel). Do I keep them on there or delete them?
This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that CZcams DOES HATE small channels. The reason this one popped off is because of those few people who actually watched a decent amount which is why it started getting recommended. And then a high CTR got it shown off even more to the point that those commenters who are fans of the game found it. And with them watching the entirety of the vid, raised it’s recognition even more with the massive increase in watch time. If CTR is so meaningless, then clickbait thumbnails/titles wouldn’t succeed at getting vids hundreds of thousands of views. The simple fact is a small channel has little to no views so it doesn’t get recognition by CZcams. Some people might find it and check it out by happenstance and then you get lucky with actually being shown somewhat. But then it stops because no one watches so CZcams doesn’t show it at all anymore. That’s the truth if it.
Exactly this!
To the person reading this don't give up on your dream/channel very soon and sooner than you think, it will be your victory!
If you are new on CZcams, then you understand the pain of waking up and seeing only one or two views on your video. I'm never giving up, though🤷. We got this.👍
Wow, this is so inspiring!
Change your success metric from “how can I get as many people as possible to see my video” to “how can I get one person to watch the entire video, start to finish?” And there you have it.
I almost quit YT after failing to gain any attraction, but since last few weeks ive been uploading shorts regularly, almost lost hope but my last short kinda got few attraction (2.5k its not much but its alot better than what i used to get like 20-40 views) so I'll keep on posting lets see how it goes. Cheers!
Never give up Guys ! I reanimated my 11 Years old CZcams channel just 2 Weeks ago . And have just reach the 150hours watch time and 20k Views in just 2 Weeks . Never give up just have fun in what you’re doing and don’t be disappointed if it’s not what you expected after your uploads :D
Good luck❤
I’ve been struggling a lot with impressions, but I can’t seem to find any good in depth analysis of how to get more impressions. Obviously I know the basics like high CTR and good retention, but it’s so much More then that. Besides most of the videos I’ve seen never actually tell you how to increase your CTR.(Just an idea for you guys if you ever want to revisit impressions)
It's always good to see these types of examples, as it's easy to blame the algorithm for lack of impressions or views. There's still opportunity out there if you put in the effort and stay creative.
i am pretty new this its hard but so rewarding and fun best of luck to you all!!!
"The CZcams Algorith" is really simple. It's all about the viewer. The algorithm does not care about your video, it cares about the viewer.
This video helped me understand the algorithm more! Thanks!
It's really funny when everybody says, actually "don't know their secret".
rob kinda looks like waltuh white
This content creator is in CZcams fear right now , scared to death about how much people love the game and not the creators face , they have no clue how they're going to match the one and only
The CZcams algorithm gives you the impressions everytime if you do the correct meta data. Getting people to watch and stay watching is a completely personal issue. I take complete responsibility for my views being directly linked to my quality of video.
vid quality isnt so important but what does the content provide …
Pls what's the correct metadata
Hi sir, please oooo
I downloaded and uploaded a copyrighted video from Dafuqboom but there was no claim during and after the update up to now. And I still don't understand
I just started this channel a month ago exactly at 20 subs and no views im at 4k watch hours gaining about 100 subs a day and like 1k views a day … All i did was put a short clip in the first few secs of the video also the thumbnail has to invoke curiosity and make sure the thumbnail and the first clip match up so u provide what the viewer wants .. Good Luck Everyone 💪🏼💪🏼
I don't think CZcams "hates small channels", it is just it doesn't help them grow either ... Why invest in someone who might not become successful and bring you money in a year or two, when you can just grow the channels that are already known and bring you money now ...
Awesome video! I’m currently shifting the niche of my channel and this gives me so much hope for the future!
Thanks for the advice as a small CZcamsr.
I just created my first video a simple documentary and looking forward in my CZcams journey. Thanks a lot🎉
the information that uncle gave was very detailed and very useful for us beginners, thank you uncle 🥰🥰🥰
😂
Well,even a nut has to catch a squirrel at some point lol
Thanks for sharing this and thanks for your advice! :) Will consider it for my channel!
That also happens to me too one of my video has over 100K views and I have only 277 subscribers that was really crazy to see that. 😮
Great video and information 😊 I started a channel so I could be home with my son, he's 5 months old and has a lot of disabilities so doing it for him
Words of advice guys, keep going
i have a question i know its not even close to what the video related too but would love to hear the answer
how much does youtube pay for kids content creators per 1k views
As a small reaction channel I'm not even Doing it for the subscribers (although it helps) i just love what I do.
This happened to my 5th video and now it’s sitting on 100k views and growing 🎉
Even if one finds a niche gap that has not yet been filled on CZcams, it might not be of any help to that particular creator.
So, if I somehow happen to find out that a massive number of people are searching for “boiling a frozen dinosaur egg” and there still is no video about it on CZcams, this doesn’t really help me, since my channel is about repairing guitars.
Yes, that video will bring me a bunch of viewers, but will not help my channel, nor attract subscribers, that I want to attract, which are people who want to watch a Guitar repair videos.
In the guitar repair a video world, I really can’t think of any type of repair or any detail that a massive number of people would be searching for, but that yet hasn’t been published.
These videos are giving me much enthusiasm not to give up
Dang that’s one way to get monetized on your first video.
The algorithm didn’t like me since day one 🤕
These 1 video channels that blow up always amaze me.
I can feel the CZcams algorithm is starting to finally notice me.
I can feel it in my latest videos.
That's great! Keep going!
Weeellll I hope they have that next video ready to go. Now that you have mentioned that there is a gap...someone might come in and swoop it away!
My second video got 100k views in the first month
That's great! Congratulations!
What I kinda want to know is, if your channel is a few years old, and if you've only posted videos on there for fun for the last few years until now when you want to actually be serious about it - does the algorithm still work for you? or is it too late and have you been soft locked out of any chance of videos going viral because your channel is old and still has quite a few videos on it?
This is literally how I got my first 10k views. I was searching for something and couldn't find it. I then made the video myself to see how many other people are like meee
