But it was not to be. He finds a niche for himself, starts filming content and creating videos. The first videos even gain some popularity. They get visible views, comments, likes. And at that moment he begins to feel that everything is going as it should. But a month or two passes, and the channel begins to slowly die. Views are falling, videos are being viewed much less often, and the mood is no longer as cheerful. And the most unpleasant thing about this is that the author of the channel will understand this only after some time, when it will be too late. Firework. My name is my results. In this video, we'll look at why 99% of YouTube channels fail. The first and one of the most important reasons is that the overall average level of content on the YouTube market has increased exponentially in recent years. Now there are a huge number of neural networks that want to create even more content through them. And viewers' attention, we need to create compelling pieces of content—content that will compel them not only to click on our video, but also to watch it to the end and even further to click through our channel and stay on our videos. If before it was possible to everyone else did, just something average, now the rules of the game are different, and you need to strive to do better than your competitors. Only then can we play the continuously. I personally know a huge number of channels that simply stopped progressing in their content, having reached the same 3-5,000 dollars a month, and stopped improving what they started with. They decided not to reinvest their income into improving content, not to add anything new, and ultimately lost monetization. Now, in the current market, standing still and not improving your content is the same as deteriorating, because are progressing and growing, and everyone wants to create standout content. Another reason why such channels think that competition exists on YouTube. In fact, this is not true. And if we create content of sufficient quality, we won’t feel any competition. But if we create something that every schoolchild can do, then, of course, we will feel that there are a thousand more channels like ours in our niche that want to grab a piece of this pie. But it is not enough for everyone. That's why we're not competing with just any channel that's similar to ours. We compete with viewer's attention. And if our content is interesting, engaging, and clickable, then we will capture that attention, and our channel will definitely not be left without views and without income. work for me? I explained this in my step-by-step instructions. This is a forty-minute video in which I reveal in detail what I did, what I filmed, and how I say 5 years of my experience in one video. I'll leave it at the first link in the description and at the tip in the upper right corner. What else do all the channels that fail have in common ? What this means is that they don’t have a system, they only have a tomorrow I don’t want to, tomorrow I don’t have the energy, desire, time, and so on. The percentage of channels that succeed, they are not in the mood. They the video precisely, do it strictly according to schedule, and publish it on their channel. Otherwise, why just create content when we want to or when we’re in the mood. We either do it consistently, or our channel has minimal chance of growth. And even if it does take off, we won't be able to maintain it consistently, simply When we have a concrete strategy and a stable schedule, we can more easily understand what works and what doesn't, analyze statistics, and do more of what's already working. Well, in general, YouTube is not a place where we can hope, believe, or wait. Our job is simply to test hypotheses; you could say we're like a robot publishing different topics, trying out different content within a single niche, and seeing what works, what doesn't, where we like to create content, where we don't, what resonates with viewers and keeps them watching, and what's best left unused. And when we don't have constant testing of new ideas, new video topics, and their implementation, it's harder for us to understand what's working overall and what needs to be scaled up. Well, another very common reason why many channels fail to achieve results on YouTube is that they expect results too early. They want to have views in the first week, monetization in the first month , and mountains of money in six months. But, unfortunately or fortunately, this is not always the case. YouTube has a clear filter. He won't promote our videos right away. It takes him time audience is. And the average time for all my channels is 3 dash 6 months to I even have friends with millions of followers whose channels I promoted in the one complained about the results they brought. Therefore, the best thing completely remove doubts and do it regularly. Do n't treat this as some kind of topic, like I'll try to play around with it, maybe I'll earn money, maybe not. This is not true. business, as a full-fledged project that we are creating. And only in this way, with stable publication, will we be able to see a return on it. YouTube is no longer just a jump in, capture a hyped niche, post this content, and quickly make of developing long-term channels. For example, one of my first channels, which brought me $50,000, was a channel where I published consistently for changing the format, without trying myself in different directions, I just stuck to one point, publishing regularly. And this is the key. But even more often, those who don’t YouTube is a purely commercial platform. And the one who understands what he needs to give will always be at the peak. have YouTube, it makes money from advertising, from the fact that advertisers come to it and leave their money. You tell them that you need to show our advertising on these channels, in this format. And what YouTube does next is it injects advertising into specific channels. What does it mean? This means that if our content is watched, the viewer likes it, wants to then we provide good retention for the platform. And this means that displaying ads on a permanent basis, and we will earn money from it. Accordingly, our click-through rates, meaning that our covers are clicked on well, and also to have good retention, meaning that our content is engaging and consistently and actively viewed. So, if we hook the viewer with the cover and title, keep them engaged with interesting content, and motivate them to continue on the channel, we'll definitely keep them engaged. And this is important to understand. And if we thoroughly understand these YouTube goals and implement them in our content, then our channel will definitely grow.
