What niche is everyone in? I'm interested to hear what your channels are about and who you're trying to target. Comment yours here :)

I've grown my beekeeping niche channel to over 159, 000 subscribers. While I've always done most of what you've shared in this video, I've noticed what brings in the most views and subscribers is me making genuine, heartfelt, caring and helpful videos. People are looking for a connection with the creator more than anything else.

The most heart hitting things is when every morning a small youtuber wakes and take a look on his channel and there no change 😞

[AnimeFightHouse]

Wishing all small channels success, just keep grinding and you'll see results✊

New YouTubers let's unite, , , I'm here to support this channel and other upcoming YouTubers

[RMillan]

Guy!! I just got monetized! It took me a year of hard work! Keep pushing and creating! I did it with a full time job and sometimes no sleep lol Keep a mindset that you’re doing it for yourself as the audience even when no one else is watching. 👍🏼

[WhimsicallyBritt]

I had to come back to this video to share that I posted a video and got only 25 views within 12 hours. I implemented many of your tactics and have amassed 2K views and counting in the following 48 hours! Thanks so much! 🙌🏽

[spotsocials]

We have great experience in this field. 💯
Small youtubers keep going never stop
can help😎😎

[SmarkInvesting]

Guys, listen to his videos. These small changes made a massive difference for me. My channel is still small but made a huge impact with his tips!

[Rein_Ciarfella]

Finally, a non-clickbait channel!
As a serious YouTube user for learning small engine work I’ve logged over 6500 hours in 3.5 years and one of the most important things to me is your final step - personal engagement with viewers! Being able to personally dialogue with a YouTube creator is invaluable to me. I get questions answered that weren’t in the video plus the video creator gets potential ideas for additional videos. Win - win!!!

Small YouTubers, you are almost there, don't get tired.

I started my new channel in October of 2024. I did a lot of research on how to do it well. I started uploading seriously in January 2025 and as of today (Feb 15th, 2025) I have almost 600 subscribers and I am very happy with the progress. Channels like yours really help.

[Bitaleafmedia]

This is good non click baity Information. Being a YouTube Beginner is brain draining. Too much noise, everyone trying to dish out info without any interest on genuinely helping you with your small channel problems. This guy is amazing. Thank you. I just subscribed

[PulitikasaPinas-sx]

Hello, I am a small content creator, struggling a bit because not only im a senior but not so keen about technology. But I'm learning a lot from your channel, that's why I subscribed. Looking forward to watch your soon to start new channel and learn more about what you can impart to us and be a part of it.

[Sans_iS_alive]

Just started my new channel, and I truly believe growth is possible for everyone! Every big creator started somewhere, and this is just the beginning of an exciting journey. I love supporting new YouTubers and discovering fresh, creative content from those who are just getting started. If you're a creator or someone who enjoys seeing channels evolve and improve over time, let's keep pushing forward together. There's room for all of us to grow, and the journey is always better with a supportive community!
