I really resonate with some of this advice - I make really niche content that I thought would never get an audience, my videos are about indie movies some of which are older and much more obscure but I'm realizing that on Youtube there really is a space and community for every niche interest and I think just being able to present a topic in a passionate and authentic way also has been drawing in people who weren't originally interested in the topic

I’m not stopping. I’m going to keep filming and posting no matter what. One of my videos is over 10K views so I know it can be done. Most of my content is a few hundred views. I started with zero. I’m not stopping now.

[ChecheLanojanvlogs]

500??? I’m happy with 10 views.
I have no expectations and definitely not thinking to get 500 views each upload. As a small content creator, I accept this as my reality. Thanks Brian for these useful info!❤

My 6 year old son and I have created an educational animated AI channel last month here in South Africa and we already have almost 60 subscribers. The individual views however are still under 300.
Thank you so much for the guidance Brian, and we will keep on pushing for more subscribers and views!

Before, I was getting around 4–5 views, but after doing some research, I listened to YouTubers' advices and learned from my mistakes. Now I am getting 40–100 views, and I am thankful to those people who supported me. I know I am still far away from my goal, but I know someday I will be able to reach more audiences who have the same interest in what I do. Don't give up! Let's keep on learning and enjoy the journey! Thank you for the info Brian G Johnson!

That’s why Brian is great, he doesn’t just share the same points lots of YouTube help/information channels pop out, he goes into the ‘why and what for’ we need so we can actually understand and try apply to our content.

This is brilliant. To all small creators, we got this! Thank you Brian🤗

[ANormalHuman]

Never. Im not gonna stop my little viewers.

[Fandommelodies]

My channel started well, I started to get a few hundred and then a few thousand views. The first subscribers arrived. Not big numbers but I was satisfied and encouraged. Now the same type of video doesn't seem to reach anyone, the impressions are almost non-existent and and the views have dropped drastically. I've tried every "SEO trick" of indexing but the situation seems absolutely identical and if a video reaches 20 views on the first day it already seems like a victory. It's demoralizing to see situations like this.

[doomschlack]

Thanks for the perspective fella. It's a fun outlet regardless. Keep on trucking small fellow creators.

[heavenlyconversations]

Everyone here keep going, consistency and determination, will help you to keep making better videos, you will be successful trust God.

[HealthWise]

For beginners like us?? We pop Champaigne on every view. 500 in 24hours calls for a big party celebration😂

I do put in a lot of time with my videos. But that's because I'm still learning what my voice is. I just filmed today with my Service Dog at the Mall of America. I'll have to edit that footage and go over it. Find out what works and what doesn't.

[TraciesLocalLearnings]

Hello Brian, so happy to meet you. Your video has popped up on my feed, so I will watch all the way through. 👍

[DreadShroud]

I’ve focused more on delivering quality rather than chasing numbers—because I truly believed that genuine views come from genuine content. Most of my earlier videos would get around 200 views, and I was honestly thankful for each one.

Then came my 7th video—it unexpectedly took off and reached 11, 000 views. It felt unreal, like a small dream quietly coming to life. Naturally, it gave me hope. I put even more heart into my next video—same concept, better quality—but the response wasn’t what I had hoped for. I won’t lie, it stung a little.

But in that moment, I reminded myself: consistency is key. And sometimes, it's that quiet hope—the one that tells you to keep going no matter what—that becomes your biggest strength. So here I am… still learning, still growing, and still creating, with gratitude in my heart and hope in my mind.

[JJActualX]

This popped on my feed and wanted to say thank you for taking the time to pass down the wisdom you’ve learned

[THEUNSCRIPTEDNARRATOR]

Its hard to even exceeds 100 views yet, I'm not ready to give up yet. I'll one day run back to this video to testify. Small YouTubers we're in this together. Thank you Brian

[CoffeeAtTheCrossroads]

Brian, this is probably the best video I've seen on how to boost views on YouTube. I'm a very new YouTuber - I call myself a "micro-Youtuber" I'm so small. But this is fantastic advice. I see other videos that don't really seem to be better than mine but they have 1000's of views and I have 50 views. Thanks for making this! You've just got a new subscriber.

[Gilbertguns]

Thanks for your content. I have started a YouTube page for a month now. I have uploaded 30 videos this month and just learned to upload thumbnails today. I have gotten over 400 -500 views for over 15 videos and 5-200 for the other 15. Just looking to motivate a few for a healthy lifestyle. I'll keep pushing

[kimem-ቅመም]

As a small creator, I’m trying. We got this small YouTubers ❤
