Mr.Beast once said something along the lines of "if you're a new YouTuber and learning as you go, all you gotta do is improve at least ONE thing each time you upload a video. Whether it's editing, audio, getting new equipment, trying new methods and techniques etc. Just try new things and see how the algorithm and audience responds."

I hit 400 subs recently. Although it feels like 1, 000 is a long way off, I feel good about the progress I’ve made so far. Hope you’re able to celebrate the small victories, whatever stage you’re at

"Can't fail if you dont quit" That was very well said!

3 years in and I feel like I keep getting better. Staying positive! and yes Learning everyday, but I am here to serve. Thanks Rob!!

I’m putting like 15 hours into YouTube per week. I picked a different niche but at least I like it! Which makes it 1000 times easier

For people who read this you guys will definitely grow and succeed on YouTube just don’t give up and keep posting videos consistently

[AbsoluteZR_]

I will finally be hitting the monetization requirements in a few days! Dont give up everyone, I've had my channel for around 8 years but have been posting consistently for 2. Its all about persistence, there have been time were I took months off at a time. But didn't give up, you got this!

I got monetized in Dec 2022. Video editing is the most difficult for me. It’s getting harder for new YTubers to get monetized in 2023 with the new updated policies. Good luck ppl!

Good video. We all beat ourselves up on our video views, analytics and subscriber numbers, but after watching this and getting the actual statistics on the amount of channels that don't even have 1000 subs / 4000 watch time hours, it makes the success of reaching that goal all the better!

We work on our YouTube Channel for about 20+ Hours a week. We have our channel in two languages, and our podcast channel as well! YouTube is a passion, and the best way to share our content with the world! Very excited to get to 100, 000 Subscribers soon!

It took me about 3 years to get to 1000 subs and it felt like a great milestone. It was so difficult for Mr. But there is something I want to get done as far as the channel. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

[talesofhighstrangeness]

I have over 100, 000 subscribers, which I reached last year… my channel has been on the decline in views since then, very frustrating. I was laid off at the beginning of the year so have been devoting about 30-50 hours a week to make it full time but am really struggling to get my numbers back! This video did give me a confidence boost knowing I’m in the top 2%!

[TheLocalGlobeTrotter]

At 187 subs at time of writing and it is difficult, but after over 6 month on my channel I have learned to compare with myself 4 videos ago... and I use around 22 hours a week on it.

Like your new editing. You have stepped up your productions. Fab ha ha liked 20 fingers bit.

[Chromecast_Eternal]

Youtube is hard.. but if you're reading this, i want you to know, whatever struggle you're going through, weather it's lack of subscribers, motivation or just simply lacking in views... It's all eventually going to work out

[Juuzou_Gaming]

Going to complete 3k subs in 2 months, your channel guided me a lot 🙌🙌

[LoveElectronics]

this made me feel real good, im 15 months old and have 12k subs... that makes me one of the 2 percent. it wasnt hard for me at all. i understand how it could be hard for most.... so i cheat, i don't plan anything and its all improved, i make 49 videos a day when i work and its easy but its because i made it easy. its not possible for all content but if you can improvise and don't need to story board or write or plan anything it sure helps :)

[SPrincessbeneficialknowledge]

Yes need to stop comparing. I agree.
Funnily enough my 1st upload took off on my channel.

I currently put in about 40-60 hours per week to YouTube. I started in 2007 and until 2011 I was putting in about 20-30 hours per week around my full-time job and part-time work & was initially posting daily, then multiple times per day, which with how YouTube worked back then & the lower number of channels people subscribed to many I got complaints from viewers about being all they saw in their feed, so I went back to daily, then as other commitments grew I reduced to about 20 hours per week, then stopped completely in 2011 due to being sick and tired of doing all this for free & attacks & abuse being daily. Then in 2015 I was made redundant, needed to make an income right away, so one thing I started focusing on was growing YouTube. I was putting in about 40 hours per week to YouTube & about 40 hours per week into creating eCourses. In months my eCourses income went from about £100 per month to about £500 per month (then about £1500 per month by a year later) & in about 6 months I got my YouTube channel which I hadn't really done anything with for about 4 years to monetisation. I had previously been monetised & can't remember why I wasn't anymore. It might have been due to not posting for so long that I was no longer getting many views & only getting a few new subscribers per month. From being made redundant for about a year I was posting 5 videos per week but this took so long & wasn't maintainable but I wanted to kick-start my channel. The next year I dropped to 3 videos per week & a year after that, settled largely into a video per week.
My first years income monetised was £5-£60 per month, year two monetised was £100-£200 per month, year three was ££400-£600 per month, year four was about £800-£1200, year five was about £1500-£2000 per month. Since then it's been fairly stable but fluctuating more from about £1000-£2500 per month and late 2020 through to mid 2022 were difficult years where suddenly views & rates of new subscribers tanked. For example on SocialBlade in winter 2019 it said I should pass 100k subs by about mid 2020, yet it ended up talking until late 2022. The more my channel struggled the more time I put in to trying to learn why & what I could do about it. So during this time I was making less income on YouTube than I had been making but putting in more hours than ever, often working on my channel most days from about 7am to 2am with a couple of breaks for food.
In 2018 due to a health emergency of a relative for a big part of the year I put almost no weekly hours into YouTube, but has created & scheduled a years worth of weekly videos at the end of the previous year just to see if it was possible & it turned out to be very helpful when for months I was visiting a hospital & spending time in the hospital visiting, then trying to be helpful around this etc.
Now I put in full-time hours to YouTube, about 40-60 hours per week most weeks.
Obviously I'm sharing this to show my YouTube journey & how it is a marathon not a sprint. I think of myself as an average person with average skills doing average. I'm not engaging, I'm not good at being charismatic, I'm not skilled as a graphic designer for thumbnails, copywriter for titles & descriptions, or skilled at creating incredible hooks that engage the audience, or as a video editor etc, and think it's creators have to learn & continually improve in all these areas. What I am though is willing to learn & study (watching videos by channels like VidIQ & taking notes etc) and to put in what time I can & take it seriously with the goal of this being something I want y make a living from & then being persistent, not giving up. I accept it is a very slow & challenging road & a very long journey and I know along the way, I've seen channels appear & within a few months they are getting more views per video than me & within a year they have more subscribers than me. I've been disheartened by this because I think it is hard not to compare, but try to learn what perhaps led to their rapid growth.
Some of these channels, despite doing so well, have still quit YouTube & suddenly stopped posting, often running out of steam with posting weekly etc. I've often thought about how YouTube sends to favour new channels, channels which seem to do no different to me, yet they are being promoted & taking off, yet I know as a smaller channel I used to think the exact opposite, that what chance is there for smaller channels when YouTube mainly just promotes the big channels, so I now feel both positions are wrong & just a perception of what is standing out to you from your perspective in that moment.
I believe YouTube is hard work for most people, but as others have said, it is about working at making improvements and learning all the time, and never giving up...

If you every think about quitting just remember that if you do, you won’t ever make it but if you keep going there’s always that small chance you will💪🏼
