AI Summary

This video addresses the common question of how many videos a YouTuber should upload per week. It emphasizes that consistency and quality matter more than quantity, and provides a framework based on creator types and data-driven insights.

[00:02]
The Upload Frequency Question

The video opens by addressing the common confusion about how many videos to upload per week, warning that daily uploads can be dangerous and lead to fatigue and self-doubt.

[00:31]
Consistency Over Quantity

The speaker stresses that a fixed upload pattern is essential for both the algorithm and the audience. Algorithms need patterns, and audiences need habits. It's better to make one good video than seven bad ones.

[01:30]
Don't Copy Others

Copying another YouTuber's upload schedule without understanding your own routine is counterproductive. Every creator has a different workflow, and following others blindly adds unnecessary pressure.

[02:11]
Three Creator Types

The video introduces three creator types: Light Creator (one video per week), Balance Creator (one video every alternate day), and Aggressive Creator (daily uploads). Each type has different requirements and benefits.

[03:17]
Reality Check: Subscriber Milestones

The speaker debunks the myth of quick virality, citing Mr. Beast who took 4 years to reach 1000 subscribers, and Saurabh Joshi who has over 2000 videos. Success comes from consistent uploads over time.

[04:14]
Data on Video Counts

Analyzing 3.5 million channels, the video reveals average video counts: 152 videos for 1k-10k subs, 48 videos for 10k-100k, and 10071 videos for 100k-1M. To reach 1 lakh subs, you may need over 400 videos.

[05:10]
The Compound Effect

Growth on YouTube is a compound effect. One viral video is not in your control, but a consistent routine is. Uploading at least one great video every week for 90 days can lead to significant growth.

[05:55]
The 90-Day Challenge

The speaker challenges viewers to upload at least one video every week for 90 days, improving each time and learning from mistakes. This routine will lead to slow but eventual growth.

The video concludes that consistent, quality uploads are the key to YouTube growth, and encourages viewers to take the 90-day challenge to see real results.

Compound Effect on YouTube

Explains that growth is a compound effect, similar to fitness, and that consistency is within your control while virality is not.

05:10

[00:02] question confuses everyone. How many videos should I upload per week? You should apply it once, twice, daily or whenever you feel like it. And if you are also thinking that more videos means more growth then stop. Because uploading videos every day can be very dangerous for your channel.

[00:16] Then you will neither get views nor subscribers, just fatigue and self-doubt. In this video I will clear all your confusion. You will understand how many videos are right to upload.

[00:31] upload according to your routine and the algorithm. And by the end I will also tell you a shocking truth that how many videos a YouTuber has to upload on YouTube to reach 1 lakh subscribers or 1 million subscribers. definitely thinks about this at some point. Only if I upload videos daily will I get growth. I think the

[00:47] more videos there are, the more growth there is and in the beginning people upload them out of enthusiasm. Seven videos a week, then the next week off. Sometimes uploading the video on Monday, sometimes on Friday, sometimes in the morning, sometimes at night. But the truth is that unless your upload pattern is fixed

[01:01] , neither YouTube's algorithm nor YouTube's audience will understand you. Algorithms need a pattern and audiences need a habit. A routine that waits for your video at the same time every week, same day. And understand one simple thing. It's

[01:15] much better to make one good video than seven bad ones. And when you can make a good video, it's better to make seven good videos than one good video. Meaning quantity works only when the quality is right. Now if you also

[01:30] think that the other YouTuber is uploading videos every day then I should also upload them every day, then wait a bit because just by copying and pasting YouTube videos one cannot become a YouTuber. Every creator has a different way of working. Someone's shoot gets over early. Whereas

[01:44] Someone is a full time YouTuber. At the same time, some people make videos while studying in college or school. So if you are following someone else's routine without understanding your own routine, then you are putting yourself under unnecessary pressure.

[01:56] And when any work is done under pressure, the quality of your videos will be lost. So first understand your creator type. Then plan your uploads accordingly. tell you three creator types. First up is Light Creator. If you're a little

[02:11] more busy and find time to shoot and edit yourself, it's make at least one video a week, along with one or two YouTube videos. A video that has thought, clarity and touches both the heart and mind of the audience. Second

[02:25] Option Balance Creator. And if you have some experience or you have some more free time then

[02:37] make high quality videos even in less time or you have free time all the time or you have your own team, then you should upload at least one video every alternate day, upload at least one video after skipping a day. YouTube calls such creators high engagement

[02:51] creators, which means more push, more impression, more growth. So now comment below and tell me which mode you are in right now, light mode, balanced mode or aggressive mode. I am personally in balanced mode right now but want to transition to

[03:04] aggressive mode. Now, every creator has a dream that one day he will have 1 lakh subscribers or his subscribers will reach 10 lakh or 1 million. But no one thinks about how many videos have to be uploaded to reach that level. Now

[03:17] most people think that I will upload 10-15 videos , some shots and the channel will go viral. But when views don't come, people either stop making videos or blame YouTube's algorithm. But the real reason is lack of patience

[03:30] But the real reason is lack of patience and not knowing the data. Mr. Beast who is the biggest Uber in the world today. He also took 4 years to reach 1000 subscribers. I tried new ideas every day and uploaded videos continuously and you can see it today.

[03:45] Second thing, Saurabh Joshi is the biggest blogger of India today. But there are more than 2000 videos on his channel. Daily vlog, daily edit, daily upload. He developed his habit along with quantity and that habit became his strength. So if you look at the

[04:00] content history of any successful creator, a pattern is clearly visible. Growth came but only after uploading videos continuously. Now look at this data. After analyzing 35 lakh YouTube channels, it was found that on an average, a channel has to

[04:14] that on an average, a channel has to there are 152 videos for 1000 to 10000 subscribers , 48 ​​videos for 10000 to 1 lakh

[04:27] and 10071 videos for 1 lakh to 1 million. This want to reach 1 lakh subscribers, then according to this average you will have to make more than 400 videos. But this data defines average and it is possible

[04:41] that you may turn out to be an above average YouTuber like me and if you also want to become above average then subscribe to this channel because here I explain to you in a very easy way how you can grow on YouTube. How to make better videos

[04:55] and earn a lot of money. Subscribe not for me but for yourself. Now the biggest lie of YouTube is that one viral video will make your entire career. But what is the truth? Making a viral video is not in your control. But

[05:10] creating a good routine is within your control. And it is through this routine that real growth occurs. Slow slow then boom. Now you think, you uploaded a video but it did not get any views. Then I uploaded the second video, a little less, and I did not feel like uploading the third video. This is what happens

[05:26] with 90% of YouTubers. They plant the seeds but do not water them daily. And on YouTube, today's video grows tomorrow and tomorrow's video grows next month. This is a compound effect. Just like going to the gym does

[05:39] n't make six pack abs in three days, similarly uploading just two or four videos on YouTube doesn't lead to growth. But if you upload at least one great video every week for 90 days without taking a break, a lot is going to change. And that's why take the next

[05:55] 90-day challenge. Upload at least one video every week. There should be an improvement in every video. And learn a lesson from every mistake you make. Trust me, your channel will grow just like those of successful creators. Slowly and then

[06:10] suddenly. And when that first video goes viral, it wo n't be just that video that will go viral. Your entire channel will run and then the channel will go viral. Because you watered the beach for 90 days. Now the routine has been established but one question still lingers in my mind. I will

[06:26] make the video but how do I set it up? I do n't have the equipment and how can I create better content without money. So click on this next video. Here I have covered step by step how you can start your YouTube channel with zero budget. Without

[06:39] DISL, without mic, without any expense. Click on this video if your Click on this video if your dream is bigger than your pocket.
