Advice for newer content creators?

[kalpana007]

What is the best advice you would give to new content creators on YT? This assumes using white hat techniques to grow. I have my own thoughts, buy I'm genuinely curious about what the community here believes.

You should do collab with popular youtubers. Do not hesitate to even pay them for this association.

The competition might want to make you give up, but always focus on the goal.

Edit - Don't use AI voice overs EVER as you won't get partnered.

Finally someone said this, I've had 2 of my competitors emailed me about how am I getting almost all my videos sponsored when they, who have more views than me, don't even get partnership proposals,

I looked at their channels and got slapped with the obvious answer, they're using AI voice shits lol.

the AI voice they used sounded pretty expensive and might not be noticeable to normal and clueless viewers but it doesnt matter because they still can't express human emotion which very important when making CTA which turns off brand dealers

You should not keep checking the stats all time. More time should be spent on building content for audience.

100%. It actually pains me to see the amount of effort people put into their channel just to ruin any chance of monetisation by using an AI voice over lol.

Agreed!

I love doing collaborations and wish I did them more often

The best advice I can give you (as a fellow youtuber who has had large channels going back to 2010). Is just make good and quality content that people want to watch and also our an equal amount of time into making good titles and thumbnails. CTR and watch time are your two most important stats.

Expect to fail! If its your first YouTube channel it's gonna do bad at first. Learn from your mistakes and don't give up!

Another point and an important one is to ignore a lot of what you see on here. There are many people who know what they are talking about on bhw when it comes to YouTube but far more people who have no idea. Ive noticed a lot of people still trying methods from 2015 etc... That no longer work I. E. Compilations, low effort, AI voice shit... Its all a waste of time and you won't make a single cent.

Also, stay away from buying views, they do more harm than good. The golden days of spending penny's on high retention views to bank thousands in ad rev is long long gone unfortunately.

Edit - Don't use AI voice overs EVER as you won't get partnered.

This is great advice! Thanks!

Focus only on making quality content. Rest is just noise.

Agreed!

 

[Dopple]

Be consistent

Consistency is important in anything we do!

 

[Dopple]

A lot of patience is required. We get carried away by earning reports of tip youtubers. But if you reach even an average stage in growth, it is a good thing. And it can take 1-2 years or more. So also get some other job to support yourself during this period.

Very much so! It starts as a hobby then grows into an income stream hopefully

 

[Dopple]

Research about topics that are trending, and create high quality content on the trending topics.

Yes to an extent. The issue with trending topics is that it's looking for short term views and not long term scalability.

 

[Dopple]

It's probably easier now as its ever been to grow organically. Fresh accounts with original content will normally get a little push from the algorithm and if your CTR and watch time are good from the start you'll see steady growth.

Find the biggest channels in your niche and try and copy what they do but put your own spin on it.

Make longer videos 10mins + and put a lot of effort into them. Don't use AI voice over.

Stay as far away from Smm panels as possible.

Very good advice

Do you have a particular niche in mind?

 

[Dopple]

Pick a niche that you actually have interest in and don't create content that has a high barrier to entry at the beginning. Keep it simple.

Make it so it's as frictionless of an experience as possible for you (or whoever). Content creation is like anything else at the start: It's habit building. If you find the experience of creating the content boring/painful... then you're likely to stop.

Quality and consistency are your two biggest keys to success!

This seems to be a recurring theme here

 

[Dopple]

Do some research on your niche before conclusion. Learn from others who have succeeded in similar areas. Plus, have a strong determination to prevent frustration when its not rosy yet.

Very much agree

 

[Dopple]

Do you have a particular niche in mind?

For myself, I have multiple niches in mind. But also just really creating this thread as general advice for new youtubers and content creators, as I'm a bit more experienced(not necessarily with youtube, but with content creation in general)

The competition might want to make you give up, but always focus on the goal.

Competition is not my worry, but is most likely the worry of many other new creators.

Human emotions are so important and often underlooked
