I think 99% of the people here would love to reach 1 million subscribers one day. A mentor of mine once told me to break any big impossible looking task into small ones. So I divided the path to a million subscribers into 21 stages. Everyone knows how to get 1 subscriber which is stage 1, and every time you double, that's another stage. So in order to get to a million, all you need to do is find a way to become 2 Times better at getting subscribers 21 times. Simple Right? :)

Stage 1: 1 subscriber
Stage 2: 2 subscribers
Stage 3: 4 subscribers
Stage 4: 8 subscribers
Stage 5: 16 subscribers
Stage 6: 32 subscribers
Stage 7: 64 subscribers
Stage 8: 128 subscribers
Stage 9: 256 subscribers
Stage 10: 512 subscribers
Stage 11: 1024 subscribers
Stage 12: 2048 subscribers
Stage 13: 4096 subscribers
Stage 14: 8192 subscribers
Stage 15: 16384 subscribers
Stage 16: 32768 subscribers
Stage 17: 65536 subscribers
Stage 18: 131072 subscribers
Stage 19: 262144 subscribers
Stage 20: 524288 subscribers
Stage 21: 1048576 subscribers

I'm at stage 15. What stage are you in and how far do you think you can go?

EDIT: Wow, when I made this thread 2 months ago I was still at stage 13
I'm currently on stage 5, I'm hoping to make it to at least stage 14.

Yes! I finally reached stage 9! 256 subscribers! It took a while (almost 8 months!!!). But at least it took less time than getting those first 128 subscribers, which took over a year.

This is such a great way to look at building your channel. I am only on stage 2 at the moment, but this has given me lots of positivity to grow!

Awesome post! Simple but meaningful. Your mentor definitely has the right idea. Accomplishing small goals along the way not only is more motivating, but also allows one to better reflect on their growth.

Stage 5 for me. Doubt I’ll get much farther, but I’m glad to be impacting those 25 subscribers in one way or another

I’m stuck on stage 12, can’t figure out how to move up from here.

I make drum covers, I’m all ears to constructive criticism.

Great post, btw, it’s a great way to look at it!
