How hard was it to get going?

I have only really just started with my current channel. I have quite a few friends who do YouTube as well. Not all of them upload regular, or doing gaming videos, but they have found it quite hard to grow. I think if you can grasp the basics of quality, you will set yourself up well.

After that, when people start to see your personality shine through, which is hopefully entertaining, you should start to slowly pull in the audience.

The hardest thing about YouTube is getting that initial audience and build a steady flow of views and subscribers on a daily basis. I believe I heard that once you have over 100 subscribers, you normally start to get a steady growth, but that may have changed since there is so many more YouTubers since I heard that piece of information.

Being only a few weeks into this, I had no expectations of finding a fanbase over night, that's just crazy talk, but one of the things I keep thinking about was having something as a base to work with. Because i'm fairly new, I don't have an idea of where a good point would be, or what you would even consider a bad point for where I am.

I'd like to think that almost two weeks in, I've made pretty good progress for myself. It's really hard getting into it as a gamer just because there are so many similar thinking people out there, that you really just have to attempt to break that mold so others see why you're so different, and hope it sticks with them. But the one thing still that i'd like to ask some others, was how long was it until you reached that point? Some find it pretty fast, others can go years without ever making it, but i'm more curious to hear about the story of when it happened, and your reaction.

Dont Know If i can Say "How Hard Was It " maybe more like how hard is it.

Still ongoing getting some fantastic comments but still very small
 
I feel it is always hard at the start.
I started to upload gameplay videos like 2 weeks ago, and don't get almost any atention for now.
But i'm watching my vids after upload, and always see that there is lot to learn and improve.
I hope that after few months it will be better, if i don't get bored before and just stop uploading.
 
My comedy channel has been an extremely slow burn. It's taking forever. On my gaming channel, the subs just kind of come to me. It's rather frustrating.
 
I just started making videos the search engine liked. Every video i make now has to be something that someone would search. Doing The Last Of Us and NBA Live, it isn't as hard as other games to make it to the top of the search engine.
 
I started to get going. Then I stopped going. Then everybody forgot about me.

Now I'm going to start all over again.

Moral of the story, keep going and don't stop when you get going (unless you have to stop).

(Side note: The channel linked at the bottom of this post never got going, different channel)
