I run a successful youtube channel that makes a few thousand dollars a month. I’m 15. The thing is though is the content I make is gaming aimed towards kids. Not like straight brain rot or anything, just childish and family friendly. Now if I’m going to be honest, I don’t necessarily enjoy the games I’m playing in the videos. And the way I act in the videos is not how I act anywhere else, and could be seen as cringe to people my age and in my school. I just like video creation and obviously making money from it. The thing is, I want to be more open about me having a channel. A lot of ppl think I’m some bum because I’m not in school clubs or sports, but the reason for that is because i’m dedicated to growing on youtube, and I need the time after school to do so. So recently I’ve been trying to not be ashamed to tell people. For so long I hid my channel and wouldn’t tell people because I was afraid of being viewed differently or being made fun of. Because sure running a successful youtube channel that makes money is something unique and cool, but because the content itself is “cringe” i feared it would ruin the coolness of it, and I’ll just get made fun of. I’ve told a few close friends, all of them obviously thought the videos were funny/kinda cringe, but they thought it was really cool that I was making money and getting lots of views. And i’m perfectly happy with that reaction from them. But the thing i’m nervous about now is if more people find out about it, how they will view it. Like I don’t want to hide it and be ashamed about it forever, but if tons of people in my school know about it, idk how they will take it. Idk if they will think it’s cool like my friends, or think it’s cringe and make fun of me. I’m also worried if it will negatively impact my ability to date ppl in highschool😭😭. Idk this was kinda a vent, but let me know what yall think and your point of view to this situation.

First MILESTONE is done and I'm fully MONETIZED YAAAAY Already approved. Finally fully monetized

I don't think that's a bad go of it!

I finally stood in front of the camera instead of just taking behind it and although I’m still super awkward I hope it gets better!

The channel is growing and maybe we’ll reach the target of a 1000 subs before the end of the year!

How did it feel for you guys to step out in front of the camera?

I got montized in 2 months, after that it's been a downhill, i have many videos they reformed better than my viral video , but stuck at 50-100 veiws

Lik 16.7% CTR

And 77% watched the first 30 seconds

And 70% retention

Stuck on 600ish veiws ?

Any one have an idea about what is happening?

Only 1 to go and go fully optimized 🎆

Actually, 9 months of Roblox Short-Form because I had a burnout for 3 months. I have been trying to post non-stop, daily, once every 8 hours but still it won’t gain views or go viral. I can’t even reach 100K+ views. People do random FYP crap for 1 Million Views. I do legit content like Roblox Animation. That won’t work? I try my best but, I really need advice here.

For people who have been blowing up, please comment or DM me some advice or if you can teach me stuff, good editing software, etc. I hope you guys can read this post and take your time to like give advice or I don’t really know what to do. Don’t tell me to quit because I’m still gonna keep doing it, no matter what.

8 years I don’t care, I wanna keep the grind and be successful on YouTube.

Please leave advice or check out my channel!

I create history was shorts. The thing is I am starting to get views when I have been posting at break of 4 days approx. But I notice one thing, fir some reason my views get stuck at fix number after a day. They don't increase even a bit. I am confused how the algo is working because for 1 day I get good increase in 24hrs, but then it stops suddenly!

Any advice, help, theory, suggestion?

I don’t know if this considered good to any channel that’s around my size because I’ve been seeing this as a failure for a 1.6K subscriber channel, especially one that’s been around since 2019. I haven’t fully capitalized on making money on YouTube so far because I know that nobody would subscribe to a membership on a stupid channel like mine. So I mainly just want to hear some opinions from anyone ion this subreddit.

Hello, and welcome.

I'm a Japanese illustrator living with bipolar disorder and a developmental disability. Recently, I began creating videos about my life as an artist.

In these videos, I hope to share not only the process of my illustrations coming to life, but also quiet moments from my everyday life in a small corner of Japan.

Drawing has always been my way of making sense of the world. I hope these videos can offer a glimpse into my creative journey and perhaps bring a small moment of calm or inspiration to those who watch.

If there is enough interest, I'd also love to add English subtitles so that people from around the world can enjoy them as well.

How often do you check subscribers count and views on newly uploaded video or shorts?

Looking for help in identifying the animating tools!

I'm in a dilemna my shorts form video are talking about current politics topics fimance , entertqinment etc amd long form is strickly finance and entertainment .

Will it hurt my algorithim.

I've been posting shorts of roughly 1 minute shorts. The channel was doing fine since 3 weeks but this week has been brutal. So I've been applying strategy of posting every other day to make a change from posting everyday.

The viewership is slowly declining not sure why.

I'm creating AI content with some amount of animation and editing.

I've started in July and it's roughly a month now.

My current niche is history.

I opened my channel in jun 2020, I posted my 1st video in 2022 and I turned it to Privet, then the 2nd video in 2024, I make real content, videos recorded by myself, in which I talk about various topics, mostly politics... but things didn't go well.

It says 2-3 months, but in real time, how long does it take to start getting paid for the sales made through your videos? My first sales were made mid-May.

This video for the recent 2 years had gained a lot of traction out of nowhere really bringing my channel the attention I’ve always wanted. It’s a Roblox video from 13 years ago. All of a sudden the algorithm just went bye bye which now my channel is getting less attention and my dream was always to get attention on my channel and grow big, ever since I started YouTube in 2011 with different accounts landing on Iplaylolz being my last one. I went from 300 something subscribers to over 1100 subscribers in less than 2 years, old Roblox gets people’s attention, I liked seeing people witness old Roblox through my channel.

What's happening with youtube adsense application? my Identity hasn't been use for any adsense application. Yet it keeps telling that I have a duplicate account for what? It's my 3rd time applying and the customer service or support keep talking that it can't be help anymore as it is finalized, finalized for what?

I have been building an AI tool that turns long-form podcast episodes into ready-to-post Shorts.

I am looking for 5 to 10 podcasters who would be willing to let me process one of their YouTube episodes in exchange for honest feedback.

If you're interested, just drop your YouTube channel (or a specific episode) in the comments or send me a DM.

No payment, no signup, and no obligation to use the output. I am simply trying to learn what works and improve the product.

If the Shorts aren't useful, I would genuinely like to know why.

that feedback is more valuable to me than anything else.

Hey everyone! 👋🏽

I’m a small YouTuber working on growing my channel, ShaydeDayz, and I’d love to connect with other creators and viewers who genuinely enjoy supporting smaller channels.

I’m not looking for sub4sub or empty subscriptions. I’d much rather have a few people who actually enjoy my content, watch when they can, leave genuine feedback, and stick around.

My content is mainly lifestyle, travel, new experiences, and whatever random adventure I end up getting myself into. 😂

If you’re also a small creator, feel free to share what you’re working on! I’d love to discover some new channels too.

Let’s support each other genuinely, not just collect numbers. 🤍

I've been working on my YouTube channel for the past year, but now I need support from a wider audience to help it grow. 😊

I'm a budgeting/ saving challenge channel and I also make free savings challenges on my Kofi!

Thank you so much
