In my experience, developing a dead YouTube channel is one of the most difficult and difficult things in the world of social media, much more difficult than building a new channel. especially a channel that contains short content, it will make the difficulty even worse. it's so difficult to deal with this, almost all of my friends have experienced the same thing, like my channel, selling their channel or abandoning their channel and building a new one.

My old channel, I had 300 legit followers, I told all my friends and family to follow me and I hit 1K because I knew the topics I made always went far, to my greatest surprise, it didn’t, from 1000+ views etc i had 10-30. now I’m on a new channel and all is going well so far and I am so happy about that. Thanks so much

[britthebookworm]

I love this channel and your advice so much. I hadn't thought to tweak titles and descriptions on old videos...I may give that a go. Keep the content coming. Thank you for this 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Hey I love the youtube community and how people show their passion and love to others such postive vibes

[hangingwithleetv]

This video was definitely helpful. With nearly 30k subs I have wanted to change my niche a bit. But I have been steadily losing subscribers. This makes me feel a bit better and I can brainstorm a bit more and use ideas from this video to decide if I should just hang it up and start over or try to rebuild the channel.

A few big channels take away all the visibility from the small channels. It's not worth wasting time on YouTube anymore

This is very useful. I've pivoted slightly after 6 months away and it's definitely been slow. This has made me feel better. A bit of patience is what i need.

Thanks for the insight and inspiration! This has been an emotional roller coaster and this video brought me some peace and clarity too

Optimize old videos but DON’T let it stop you from making new videos… That little nugget right there was worth watching.

Dude this video was really helpful. Been growing on TikTok but I let my YouTube and IG go. YT is so much more important and I’ve been wanting to revive it. Didn’t know it was so simple.

I have experience both trying to rebranding my main channel and starting a new one 3 years ago.

I prepared the new channel's content strategy in advance, scheduled 8 videos in the first month, each had a short outro promoting the following upload. That channel brought in more views than my main channel, grew over 5K subscribers and got monetized in 4 months even though I only uploaded 2-3 times a month after initial launch. Additionally, I posted an announcement video on my main channel which helped me carry over the subscribers who were interested in the new topic. This was back when you needed 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours.

On the other hand, my decade old main channel has been a struggle to convert (currently commenting with it now). The new videos are doing okay, but still not overtaking old content posted about my previous niche (beauty and makeup) which I have little interest in now.

Remembering the fast success of the previous second channel has me considering starting from scratch in 2024. Obviously, I don't need to delete an old channel to start a new one, I can maintain it uploading 2-3 videos a month during this transition. A new channel is a lot of work upfront, but it is obvious YouTube has an easier time serving its content to the right audience from the beginning. It's still a hard choice to make.

Dude first the mic and now this video... haven't watched the whole thing as I write... but from the title, this was exactly the info I was looking for!! ❤❤

[TheSleepyBanshee]

I'm going to keep trying to revive this channel although most suggest building a new one. Hopefully things work out either way.

[Lidenec_lydia]

Just restarted my old YouTube account and found your video
Thanks for the tips🙏🏻 Going to test it on my videos

[TheRoadtoJapan]

This was such a refreshing watch, thank you! 🙏

[RPmaster]

My channel is still alive.. but its been on the decline since pre-summer. My views used to be around 10-20K per vid at least. Now I am glad if I get 5K.

I seriously don't know how to fix this issue. But I am still working hard putting up content.

*_Always Have This In Mind!_*

If You Want To Be Successful, Start Taking Massive Action on what you wanna become Because ACTION TAKERS ARE THOSE THAT SUCCEED.
Don’t just be a Learner, but a DOER.

So Start Taking MASSIVE ACTION NOW.

I’ve been suspended for 3 year and I just got back my Channel with 4K subs

Thank you for the info and for the reminder. I am "older" and looked into TikTok a few months ago; was learning and creating there, in addition to focussing on a schedule on my IG feed and Stories. My time and energy was diverted from my YT, Totally "forgot" my YT, but for me I think it's a natural ebb and flow as needed, and luckily i am not in business, it's for fun. Thanks!
