SO I had the choice to do it in English, French or German. My French was quite bad, and my German is good, but I have a really strong accent I can´t speak English that fast, and I´m not sure if I can improve my “speaking-speed”.

You have a really strong accent in German, or English? Either way, there's absolutely no harm in experimenting and seeing how other language videos would do. Also consider adding captions/translations to your videos in the other languages you know. It's a fantastic skill that very few YouTubers have. This is what I mean by thinking about what makes you unique and making the most of it.

What does “supplementing your footage with b-roll” mean?

Have a look at this video and it should give you an idea. Basically other angles and footage apart from your main camera angle.

Do you have any Idea? And do you think it´s good to go on and doing reviews? Because this seems like it is working, very slow but every day there are about 100people who are watching the reviews, and it´s growing very slow.

Hmm, not sure, because this guy here says the opposite he said that you should upload at least 2-3times a week. Better would be daily.

Doing reviews is a competitive market. That doesn't mean I'd say stop, but just think about how you'll stand out - why should anyone watch yours rather than someone else? And where you are now, I'd focus on audience retention not subscribers. If people don't watch for long, there's something the audience you're targeting don't like about your footage. Aiming for 40-60% audience retention will mean you're making people happy, and those people will subscribe.

It's difficult to say, because I think that guy is very misleading. He shares a lot of information and experience, lots of "facts" about YouTube and how it works, but that doesn't mean its helpful to everyone. Personally, I think every creator is different and that their road to success if unique. But saying that wouldn't help him post a lot of videos, so he sticks to offering generic YouTube advice.

The thing I tell my clients all the time is that working out what content you enjoy making, what works for you, how you can be creative, and so on, is worth it's weight in gold and much more valuable than worrying about breaking your upload schedule.

Don't worry about experimenting, in a year's time 90% of your subscribers will have no idea about this early stuff. Have a look at a big YouTuber's first uploads, they're great and they're awful, and often no indication of their future success. Take comfort that you can't "ruin" your channel.

In German, it´s stronger than in English. Yes, I´ll do this. I´ll record a video today in German and see how it goes.

Thank you.

Hmm, but it seems that the reviews are giving my channel views and watch time, so I thought it would be a good idea to do this. What do you think? I mean 80% of my views comes from this "review-forums" so is it good to do this or not?

Okay, I got your point with the b-roll. I think this is really difficult to do, I have to watch some tutorials about it, but I´ll check it out as well! Thank you :)

Another question which I have is if a Video is really bad, and I´m not happy with it (after a while for some reason..) can I delete it or does it affect my channel?

Thank you for your advice :) :*
 
Content wise; decent work. The only thing I can see in your videos is maybe some background music may help. I also think the playlist idea is great. I actually watch loads of playlists. It's how I've found a lot of people I sub to.
 
Thank you for your reply, I´m wondering how or where I can get some music? I read that if you are using music you have to be very careful with it. I created some playlists, I just put some nice Tutorials which I liked together and added some of my videos which are similar.. But how people are going to find them and how many videos should I put in the playlists?
 
Using a service like Epidemic Sound is definitely a good resource, but you can search Soundcloud for creative commons and available for commercial use music as part of the search term.
 
Hello,

Thank, you.I´m going to check it out.

Yes, I found some free tracks online I´m going to use them at first in my next videos.. I read a lot in the last weeks about community strikes if you're using music which is not allowed...

In my opinion the best thing you can do is to upload ofter, more often, and to promote your videos everywhere you can, and do not stop, I hope to hear from you after 1 year :)
 
Do you think it´s better? I thought it would be better to upload quality content than low quality more often? If I compare my channel with other YouTubers (same niche) who started at the same time, I see that they have lots of subbis but fewer views. I have more views but only 57subbis at the moment I don´t know why ^^
 
Because it's hard when you start :) It's always like this, check my channel, I am small too, but we will grow! :)

What I am trying to say is to post often, but with good quality :) And don't stop! ;)
 
as im observe, on youtube views is very dropped, or some algorithm is changed ;

for every channel views is decreased; is any news ?
