Hello guys,
I'm making this thread to look back on how far I've come and give any advice and motivation I can to you guys. This blog thing will also hopefully help me stay consistent with my goals and keep track of them.
Some context real quick. I would've liked to start dropshipping or something along those lines. However I thought it would be too much trouble for me as I am currently 16, and most selling platforms require you to be at least 18. So instead, I decided to try YouTube. I started my first channel in October of 2022. I thought about making an interesting video channel like "Daily Dose of Internet." I posted one video and switched niches. I found out that it would be quite hard to get into the niche in the first place because of how saturated it was, as well as it being questionable if I would be able to get monetized with that type of content. Also, the amount of time I spent looking for the clips was sad, to say the least lol.
I then found out about search based channels where all of your views come from search traffic instead of relying on a fanbase. I thought that would be a great type of channel to create so I started uploading "How To" videos. I was extremely motivated when I started and uploading multiple videos a day. At first the views weren't crazy, mostly because my SEO (Titles/Thumbnails/Descriptions) were trash. I saw a little success but nothing crazy; I was still happy, though. As I started researching how to get better at SEO, I discovered BHW. I learned a lot of stuff from the forums on here, which I am extremely grateful for. I improved my videos, and I started seeing more traction. More of my videos started to rank higher on search, and I started bringing in a decent amount of views.
I monetized my channel on the 15th of January 2023. I did use some panels for subscribers as they were lacking compared to my watch hours. And that brings us to the present.
Currently, I am making 13$ a day with about 10k views a day. I was making around 15$ a day for a bit, but it dropped down a bit. I have about 2000 subscribers and my channel has a little over 500k views. I am thinking about starting to outsource my work, like video creation, because I am doing all of the work right now. It takes a good amount of time to record, voiceover, edit, create thumbnails, and do SEO for a lot of videos everyday. And I don't have that much free time because I also am still in school.
I am also thinking of starting a similar channel and use the same video ideas but making it a little different because my niche is more quantity over quality lol. That's why I want to start hiring people, although I don't know how that really works. Especially if I am underage, I would appreciate it if you guys have any advice on that.
MY CURRENT GOALS:
Short term goals
