I was wondering how much people's channels have grown from when they first posted on here until now, I feel like this forum helps with accountability and slight promotion with the channels and video topic (I think) (you have to buy it). Personally I am just really curious if anyone has noticed haha I do not think I'll get a big following but there is always a chance. I think the forum personally keeps up with my accountability.
I don't believe this site has helped via promotion; however, the information I have gathered from here has been invaluable. I remember my 1st day on the forum like it was yesterday.
After a year of making videos for myself, I all of a sudden had a few hundred subs and was feeling a bit overwelhmed at the potential growth right around the corner.
I read a number of guides here and will never forget learning about gateway videos. That tip alone helped me keep the lion's share of my niche until I stepped away.
YouTube is like almost anything else that the 10,000 hour rules applies to. You know the rule that states if you spend 10k hours doing something you will become an expert or at least very competent. Without this site for research and seeing so many good examples from here, my channel wouldn't have done as well as it did, but no this site didn't help promotee it directly.
