Is there Hope?

What you see on the surface of their channel doesn't tell the whole story. They can very likely be promoting their channel in other websites or even YT alone to get more traffic. They might also have better tags in their videos (although extensions can make this more transparent). And they just might have that very small difference in character and personality that attracts more views.

When you get caught up in finding hope, you detract yourself in focusing on improving your channel. Highlight your weakness and do everything in your power to improve upon it. If it's something that you cannot change, then find an alternative approach that can compensate for the weakness. No channel is completely identical. There are small changes that makes a world of difference.

I will definitely work on what my weaknesses are and try to improve, thanks for your wisdom! :D[DOUBLEPOST=1485381473,1485381427][/DOUBLEPOST]

Woah, Did you make a Facebook page or just tell people about your channel?

It's so easy to get discouraged, especially with YouTube. I feel like that sometimes! Everyone is doing it and trying to make it! But the thing that will make a difference and the people who will make it...are the ones that keep holding on and fighting. One by one people give up, be the one that doesn't and that keeps working everyday to be better! It's like everyone is hanging onto a cliff, slowly some people start letting go because it's to hard, and pretty soon, you're the last one still hanging on! Never give up!

This is amazing! Just by reading it I gained a lot of confidence. Although I've only made two videos so far, in the future I will remember what you have told me, Thanks! :)[DOUBLEPOST=1485381766,1485381614][/DOUBLEPOST]

If there was hope for them, there is hope for you. Hope is what keeps us all going and grinding away

It's not hope that grows a channel or keeps it alive. It's about loving what you do. Filming, editing, animating, whatever it is you like.

Unless you're already famous or well known you don't go into YouTube expecting much. I'm willing to bet anything that YouTube hasn't even found some of it's biggest stars yet. Hell even Pewdiepie has said (I believe on Ear Biscuits Podcast) that the biggest YouTuber in the world is still out there somewhere and that if he didn't exist someone else would be in his shoes right now. People are searching for entertainment more than ever these days so the channels who put out good content CONSISTENTLY will always grow eventually. It just takes time for the audience to find that content.

Think of it this way, every year technology reaches more and more hands, some who have never even seen a YouTube video before. And every year another massive group of kids are growing old enough to have their own computers, phones, ipods and youtube accts to sub/watch whoever they want. You think most kids of today even know who Ray William Johnson is? Or Fred, other than from TV. Or even that Justin Bieber started on YouTube. No! They're just watching whatever is popular at that time. Look at all the minecraft youtubers of the last couple years.... There's a reason the huge channels of years past are being destroyed in growth by all these young channels today. Tech is in more hands today than ever. And tomorrow it will be in even more. In an entire month YouTube supposedly has 1B active viewers. That's what, less that 13% of the planets population...

Heads up, because the days of internet success are just starting.

Thank you so much! I can't believe you took the time to write this. I completely understand, I really do enjoy creating videos as I'm more creative than academic. It's crazy to think that the biggest Youtuber in the world is still out there, I suppose it could be anyone if they put in the hard work. Thank you for this, it means a lot :biggrin:
 
Bro you have 2 videos, one of them being your intro. You'll need more video than tht before you lose the hope. Also ignore the numbers, and just have fun doing videos you like creating, success is a bonus and comes a lot easier if you are not taking this so much as a must-happen-job than a hobby ;)

I see no reason to lose hope. Sometimes it's frustrating, I just know that if I keep learning, improving, being consistent and always try to engage with other creators eventually I'll get where I want to be. It might take years, but the ones who don't give up are the ones who succeed. I just want to enjoy the journey.

I'm glad I could help!! :)
 
Well I don't look at is as 'hope' I just 'do it' until I get where I want to be. I was determined to get 100 subs before Christmas, and I did it. I found something that worked and I ran with it. Now I'm exploring other ways to attract more views and subscribers. Just never give up, because if you do you'll never know what could have been, and you might end up working in a rubbish job making money for someone else for the rest of your life whilst someone else takes your place on youtube. Also, you'll just become one of those 'never finish guys' that just end up not seeing something through to the end.

I can't count the times I've felt like I'm not getting anywhere, and I've only been doing this 6 months so I know it can be discouraging sometimes. Keep pushing, and keep learning. ☺
