Can someone help me with some clarity? not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[Arisilenzio04]

Hey guys, I've been reading through the threads and I'm learning and trying to grow my knowledge but breaking into YouTube's rally is a very hard nut for me to crack. can someone help me answer these few questions below...

1. If a channel doesn't get any views or impressions, what would be the best thing to do to it? abandon or let it rest for a while? if rest, how long?

2. How long is it safe to warm a channel after editing the information on the channel? like pfp, description, channel name etc.

3. I'm in a country where my IP is very messed up and we dont have static IPs we usually get a range of IPs from a pool of IPs and I have. a feeling it might be hurting or shadow banning the channels I create using the ISP? would you recommend proxies and if yes what safe ways work best?

4. I already have over 7 channels I've tried to use in the past but they each have either stopped getting impressions or didn't even get a singe view till date. would you suggest rebranding or going to start all over again.

5. is buying an aged channel the way out? if it already has views and an audience would it be better to use it or get an empty one?

6. Finally would you guys suggest any tips that can help me make sense of the whole journey, I'm very positive and trying my best but the learning curve is quite stip and I cant afford trials and errors right now.

I'll appreciate any information or suggestions you can share. Cheers

1. How many videos have you uploaded on that channel with no views or impressions? If you've already uploaded 10 videos and all 10 performed the same way, I'd just move on and start a new channel.
2. After creating a new channel and setting up things like the description and profile picture, I'd let it sit for about 1 to 2 weeks. During that time, use the account normally. Watch videos, leave a few comments, and interact with channels in the same niche as yours.
3. As for IP, I don't think any ISP keeps the same IP forever, even with a home internet connection. If changing IPs is something you're worried about, you can use an ISP proxy. But if you're only running one channel, I honestly don't think a proxy is necessary. They make more sense when you're managing multiple channels.
4. If several channels are getting zero views, I'd take a closer look at the content. It could be that the type of videos you're making is already saturated on YouTube. There are too many channels doing the same thing, so YouTube isn't finding enough viewers to push the videos to.
5. Buying an aged channel is really hit or miss. A channel may already have subscribers, but if those people aren't interested in the content you're planning to make, they'll probably ignore your videos when they show up in recommendations. If that keeps happening, YouTube may stop showing your videos to those subscribers as often. It will still test your content with new viewers, but after that, everything depends on whether your videos can hook those new viewers or not.

you are overcomplicating the tech stuff, youtube doesnt shadowban you for dynamic ips or changing pfp. dont buy aged channels or waste time on those 7 dead channels, just start a completely fresh one. instead of running multiple accounts focus all your energy on 1 single niche and make better thumbnails, content is everything here.

 

[SilentZebraX]

Not necessarily. Sometimes channels need time to warm up, especially if they are new. You can let it rest and revisit in 1–3 months with a focused plan, but if after consistent effort it still gets zero traction, it might be worth starting fresh.

What is your topic? Maybe YouTube doesn’t clearly understand who your content is for or when to show it.

1. I've done 3 video so far and no impression and no views yet.

2. so in my last trial I edited one of my old channels that had no branding and no videos and posted the next day. so I was a bit concerned about it not being warmed up enough.

3. The IP situation can go as bad as pinging off of data centers cities away, on some days when you check your IP details its showing you a different state and on other days it's showing you a state 4 to 5 hours away, that was why i felt concerned

4. I understand video saturation but to the point of zero views and zero impressions? isn't that enough to make me concerned? also the channels I'm modelling are weeks and months old and are doing really well in the same niche.

5. I totally agree with you on this. I was just thinking about it, in case it is an option to take to avoid these low views and impressions.

I really appreciate your input. thank you so much

I can start a new channel but my only concern is "what am I doing wrong?", so I dont have the same problems again with a new channel

I'll try to make a video on one of the old ones to see what happens, thank you

if you already have multiple dead channels, I usually suggest starting fresh with one focused channel instead of splitting effort. consistency matters more than rebranding old inactive ones.

 

[Roy Rolce]

same thing happened with me when I start, The thing I observe is the IP issue or profile changes you can say or it can be because of content. I decided to focus on my new channel, start posting consistentlt and sanlyzing it for a while. Let's see what will happen.

that's actually a good idea

would you recommend a new Gmail or an old one, in the case of creating a new channel

Start a new channel in a niche that's much less controversial than politics (stories, lifestyle etc.) and see if the results are the same.

 

[naughtyyy688]

For me i think to build up a channel may need a combination of attrative content +trend+ consistancy video schedule + nice cover. This is what i learnt and tried before.

As much as I agree with you, the controversy isn't my main challenge, my challenge is my channel being picked up by the algorithm. Either way if I decide to get a new channel I'll still end up in the same 'No views, No Impressions' net if I don't do it right.

my challenge is a pre-posting challenge. what to do and not do before my first video

 

[Mai thanh]

Instead of wasting time reviving 7 "dead" channels or messing with technical elements like IP addresses and avatars, the most practical solution is to shut down the entire channel and create a single new one. The algorithm doesn't have time to block your IP address; the channel simply shut down because the content and thumbnail weren't compelling enough to retain viewers. Don't spread your resources thin; focus 100% of your energy on a niche knowledge area, invest in eye-catching thumbnails that pique curiosity, and concentrate on improving content quality because in this game, content that keeps viewers engaged is the deciding factor.

If possible, it's still better to use an old Gmail
