It took me about 6 months. The key for me was finding a niche, be constant and insisting on that niche, and wait for an opportunity. That opportunity appeared one day and by month four I jumped from 350 to 730 im two weeks, one of my videos got viral among the niche, about six weeks later I reached 1k subs and 8k+ hours.

As long as you are enjoying what you are doing, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Relax and enjoy the ride. 😀

We earned 19 subscribers today. It feels good to reach this accomplishment. Working hard for 20. Thank you Rob and Vidiq for your great, detailed information. Keep the information coming!

The hardest thing thing a small youtuber like me can feel is after waking up in morning but nothing has changed in his channel😖😭

"It will take 61 days to reach 100 subscribers"
Me 57 days in with 11 subscribers: *sweating profusely*

[bhaktipatel]

Trust the process! Everything will fall into place 💓

[StefanGenov]

Exactly 18 months for 1, 000 subscribers! Keep motivated and you'll get there.

[MotFam]

Good luck everyone on their journey 👊👊👊 We got this 💪💪💪

Took me 5 years. However, I only really started trying 2 years ago. Hours is the tough slog.

[LearningandTechnology]

5 months and about 100 videos.
Started mid-April 2020 and hit 1000 in September.

I hit the 4000K watch time very quickly because I had a 15 minute video get many views and long retention at the start.

Now, 3335 subs - 182 videos - 425, 000+ views, somewhere around 1.4million minutes watch time.
I’m committed to doing this for 3 years - one week at a time.

To all the new youtubers reading this. Keep strong! We're in this together 💪 💪

[JimboTMX]

Excited for the 1000 milestone journey. I try to improve every day and make better memes! Love your vids!

[S.B.]

After 9 months I’m now at 720 subscribes and what I’m noticing is that the subs are definitely climbing way more consistent now than the beginning where it seems subs would only come once a week. Thank you for the great tips! And an encouragement to everyone kee going!

[ChzurgerEddy]

My first 5 months were “the learning experience”. Random content, no strategy, but hit the 100 subscriber mark. The last two months I dialed in and started doing the research and now I’m at 337 subs. The information you guys have provided has been awesome and so helpful in this journey!

[VOID_GENESIS]

61 days to 100 is highly accurate I’m at 83 subs and have been doing youtube for almost 2 months.

[L-Paivakirja]

Oh this was just perfect! Also good luck to everyone who’s trying to grow on youtube!✨❤️

[BLUPRINTLE]

It took me roughly 3 years to get the stats. I am now waiting for approval for YPP.. It feels good to be able to comment this..keep posting those videos and keep improving your content. Your hard work will pay off sooner or later. Don’t compare yourself to others just keep getting better! You be surprised who watching your channel and who will give your channel a shoutout

[ThreeTwentyTech]

It took me just under 6 months. How did I do it? Consistency. Upload 1 video, Every. Single. Week. No excuses. Give value to your viewers and you'll get there, no matter what niche you're in. I wish it was more complicated but it's as simple as that... and it worked for me!
