The key is to keep creating content for a specific audience and treat failures as learning opportunities. ## Transcript should you continue to grow your channel when you don’t see any results? On the contrary, I will show you the arguments why you should do this under any circumstances, even if you haven’t gained 1,000 subscribers or can’t get a measly 1,000 views. After watching this video, you will stop perceiving your failures as shame. On the contrary, you will quickly begin to approach your primer status and create high-quality content that will garner hundreds of thousands of views. My name is Stas Mar. I produce experts on YouTube and I myself went through a path where I was simply making stupid content. Let's have a fun time Now, depending on which level you chose, green, yellow or red, I can achieve results like this, where I get hundreds of thousands of views on my videos. The difference between these videos is only 4 years. And today I'll share with you what repeat the same results in any niche, but much faster than I did through my mistakes. I'm sure if you're watching this video, you're not in the best situation with your channel's development. And perhaps you are looking for some kind of support and justification for all your failures. And this video is not about motivation, not about support, but about reasoned facts. I'm going to tell you now what real benefits await you if you continue to post videos, even when you don't see any changes in the situation. Speaking of failures, I myself have started new channels several times, tried to develop them, spent a lot of effort and then abandoned them. Not because I didn’t know how to develop it, because I was burning out, because I didn’t see results for a long time and gave up. But at least in the end I did the right thing. I started a new channel and developed it to the point where you see it now. And there were many more failures with our clients, especially at the start of my career. We started running a lot of channels, charged money for it, results. And this is the shame that I had to put up with for a long time. But no YouTube producer can start without this . It's just that no one will highlight these failures. Everyone will talk about their coolest cases. Yes, we have them , but we also have failures. And these seven arguments in favor of YouTube the platform, even when you’re experiencing continuous failures. And the first argument: YouTube should be perceived as a dividend machine. This means you are creating content that will be in demand not just today, but for a long time to come. I know a lot of situations personally, and we have created this kind of content for clients many times, whom we have been feeding for several years now. We even have clients who started with us 2 years ago. And with the help of just one video they feed, are fed, and become rich. Even today I talk about the to imagine how much money this video brought them. But this video was a sales pitch. He was a reviewer of their machines and he was a great salesman for their business idea. Their phones were literally ringing off the hook. The phone was simply ringing off the hook. There were applications for these machines. I didn't know where to go to escape from them. 10 machines I have spoken about this many times. I just want to emphasize that one randomly released video can carry your entire business for years, be recommended for free on YouTube, and generate only loyal customers for you. But, of course, in most cases, everything will not happen so quickly and so easily. invest effort into developing the channel. And perhaps you will publish for 3 months, even 4 months, without a response. At some point, you will accumulate a critical mass of views and warm up your audience. And that's when you'll start to think of your videos as a tool [music] to get leads here and now. It all works over the long term and works much more effectively and better than any other social network. If we're talking about Reels, Shorts, or TikTok, then the leads there are very fast, they're easy action, like going somewhere on a social network. But on YouTube, people watch you for a long time, they warm up to you, and trust grows. Conversion can grow up to 10%, you can imagine these numbers. Simply from 100 views there will be 10 requests. Only YouTube can do this. You understand that you can sell millions of rubles, even with very short videos. There are niches such as military mortgages. There simply aren't millions of viewers there for videos to start going viral one after another. But there, if you create a whole series of releases for yourself, you will receive requests even when you have 15 subscribers on your channel . And we have such examples. We launched a new channel, and it hasn't even had time requests. And what I mean is that you shouldn’t give up if you collect a measly 200, 300, 500 views. Sometimes you can make a whole empire out of this. You can scale your business five or ten times if you make videos regularly and often. Friends, if you still use YouTube as a platform for unleashing your creative potential, I feel cash machine that is supposed to make money here and now. So, I suggest you sign up for a free diagnostic with me, where I'll tell you what's wrong with your YouTube channel and what you need to focus on to get more views and sales. The next argument is aimed at supporting your channel. To ensure you receive consistently clear results in views and that they increase regularly, you need to support the algorithm. That means you make videos under any circumstances, even when they're not recruiting. The most important thing is that you stick to it; you create content for the same audience. And by making one video after another, you're simply feeding the algorithms, making it easier and simpler for YouTube to find your audience. Often, when a new channel starts, YouTube has no idea who to show your videos to. And this mechanic, when you have to release 15 videos, sometimes 20 videos, practically into the void, will be the most effective strategy here. Just one simple rule, like I said, you do it for one target audience. We themes that will be of interest to one viewer, yes, with the same objectives. That is, mission for the channel. And this is how you will achieve success in any case. In other words, it's perfectly okay to post when you don't have any views. The main thing is that are publishing all this. The next argument that simply revived my intentions to develop a YouTube channel was when I realized that YouTube is a platform for experiments, where at the start, especially at the start, you can safely experiment. And while you're testing the waters to capture your audience's interest, you take your boldest ideas and bring them to life. Well, first of all, you don't have a permanent audience, and you simply can't screw up very badly. Secondly, you have the perfect chance to test what content will be interesting to your target audience. And who is this target audience anyway, if you don’t have a channel mission ready? It happens then we start to think about what to make the video about. This is flawed logic, but sometimes experiments help you piece together what you positioning. And thanks to the fact that I boldly experimented, tried the stupidest ideas and wrote them down, I came to the point of helping you live by now. But if you already have a large channel, I don’t envy you, because the space for experimentation is shrinking. Every ridiculous experience can cut off a large part of your audience. That's why I say: "I envy newcomers and am happy when I start a channel from scratch." That is, there are more daring experiments. An option to implement any ideas that you would never implement on an already promoted channel, because there is little audience there, or none at all. The following argument sounds elementary, but few people think about it in this way. Everyone publishes videos and hopes that there will be a large number of views, that I should only be happy if I see more than a thousand. Well, or maybe everyone has their own number in their objective. YouTube shows you for free and shows it to a directly targeted audience. If you're filming a very narrow topic and you only get a measly 100 views, do n't think of it as a measly 100 views. That's 100 views from targeted viewers because a specific topic was clicked on 100 times . YouTube showed your video there thousands of times , and 100 people clicked on it and watched your video, even if not to the end. Here we must always remember one simple, grateful truth: one is better than zero. To make it clearer, let's imagine a situation. You paid for an ad to be placed on a banner, well, which stands by the road, and cars drive by, and in one day this banner appeared on 20,000 cars. This could be true. May be. But we looked at this banner and noticed that there were only 200 cars, yes, 200 people in 200 cars, maybe a little more, it doesn’t matter. But you gave away a ton of your hard- earned money there, so that so few people would just glance at it for a second and move on. That is, except for into their eyes, you didn’t get anything else for the money you spent. On YouTube, even 100 views isn't just a glimpse of your preview and that's it. And the man went to another video. He went into your video, he looked at what you started saying there. He delved into it, and sometimes even watched it to the end. That is, he was with you not for 5 seconds, like a car passing by a banner, but for 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. So please appreciate every view and don't lightly that you only have a measly 100 views. Stop being perpetually dissatisfied and start making more content. The next argument in favor of YouTube will make you, well, literally, Superman. and Superman is here, and here. Because YouTube is a platform that improves your qualifications better than any university in the Russian Federation. Just imagine, as an author, you have to release regular content, preferably frequently, and to do this, you need to constantly watch others, study new information, draw your own conclusions, write stories, and develop a variety of skills in order to release interesting content. Because if you don't develop, well, your skills don't improve, you become predictable, and eventually, improving, becoming better, more natural, more interesting with each video, you are working with many factors. Firstly, it is the work itself in the frame. You will learn new skills in script writing and working with scripts. You study script writing and working with scripts. You study the psychology of the viewer, and you dig deep into your niche. And not only deep, but also wide. That is, while you are publishing, even while you are not doing well , you are in the active process of learning. Why do I think this is better than a university education? Yes, because you want to study the information yourself. You yourself want to draw viewers. You dig so deep, and sometimes you do research that you would never do based on the instructions or tasks that the university sets for you . And here your viewers will play the role of teachers. They will do. Are you good at saying what's missing? Are there any mistakes in your speech? What else do you need to tweak? Maybe you have the wrong introductions? Maybe doing everything wrong and they're guiding you. Even your failures are, in essence, work on the mistakes that need to be made, just like you did your audience will like. Simply change the viewer to a teacher, and you will understand what you need to do to please, yes, to please the audience. Very wrong tactics and logic for creating content. When you say, "I make studying at university, or at school just for yourself, so as not to show it to the teacher , but to yourself, how do a few assignments with enthusiasm, and then what? We mainly we did this task . Here, we do exactly the same thing, please the viewers, to get their attention, to rate them highly, and to help your videos start to grow. Because the better the positive reaction, the faster the videos grow in the algorithms. And one more argument: release the video no matter what. Again, it sounds like motivation, but it is not. The point is that by releasing consistent videos, digging into the depth and breadth of your niche, your videos will in any case become a library of data that you can use demonstrating to, for example, your clients. That is, it is a library nostalgic, remember your experiences and be a tool that sells without videos on the website, on the landing page, yes, you will run somewhere in the auto-funnels. You can use your videos however you want videos as answers to frequently asked questions. Believe me, there will always be a use for your cannot be said that if a video has not received any views on YouTube right here and long period of time, it should be closed or deleted. If these are recorded videos on a topic that help further develop the idea of ​​your channel and follow the channel's mission, then these videos should definitely be there, even if they you can always find out everything you need to know about YouTube in my Telegram channel. The link will be in the description and in the pin. Now pay attention to what YouTube recommends you watch next. Everyone will have their own recommendation. See you there. Bye will have their own recommendation. See you there. Bye .
