Chapters
Many creators upload daily for a month but get under 100 views, leading to thoughts of quitting. The video aims to provide motivation, data, and proof to counter this.
Out of 100 new channels, 90 never reach 1000 subscribers. The 10% that do typically take 18-24 months to achieve this milestone.
Mr. Beast had only 1000 subscribers after 100 videos. Bhuvan Bam and Ranveer Allahbadia also struggled initially, with early videos getting only 100-200 views. Consistency was key.
A study tracked 1000 new YouTubers who published more than 52 videos; 77% saw growth. Those who published less than 10 videos and gave up rarely succeeded.
The algorithm needs time to understand a new creator's content and audience. YouTube's Creator Academy states it takes 6-12 months for the algorithm to recognize a new creator.
Focus on making good videos and improving 1% each time. Views are not in your control; your effort is.
Write down video ideas, thumbnails, and schedules. This helps maintain a consistent workflow and track progress.
Kevin Kelly's theory: focus on building 1000 true fans who will watch every video, ensuring sustainable growth.
Enjoy the act of creating content, not just the results. This keeps you motivated even when views are low.
Commit to uploading consistently for 90 days. This helps you outlast those who give up early.
With 500 hours of content uploaded every minute, going viral immediately is unlikely. Success comes from persistent effort over time.
Consistency is the key to success on YouTube. By focusing on the process, building a content diary, and committing to a 90-day challenge, creators can overcome the initial low-view phase and grow their channels sustainably.

[00:03] on YouTube and uploaded one video daily for a month but there was no video which got more than 100 views, then does n't it come to your mind that friend, let's give up, let's close the channel, nothing will happen to us on YouTube. If this thought comes to your mind even
[00:19] once, then watch this video first and if you want to start a new channel, then also you may have to face this phase, so also watch this video before giving up or stopping work on the channel because 99% of the creators
[00:37] are such who actually do not understand anything. In today's video, you will not only get motivation but you will also get data, proof and I will guarantee to explain to you and I will guarantee to explain to you
[00:53] because the biggest problem is when you do and after that you feel that YouTube is not for you.
[01:06] So if you are a beginner then like this video after watching it completely. Subscribe to the channel as well because you get a lot of content here. According to a data, if 100 new channels are created on YouTube, then
[01:21] 90 of them are such channels which never complete 1000 subscribers. And the 10% channels which complete it also take them mostly 18 to 24 months to
[01:35] complete those 1000 subscribers. Because if this criteria was easy then YouTube would not have kept the criteria of 1000 subscribers to monetize the channel. Now if we
[01:47] look at some examples, 100 videos of the world's biggest YouTuber, Mr. Beast, had been uploaded. By then he had 1000 subscribers. If we look at Bhuvan Bam, who is a very famous YouTuber of India. Even he did not get much traction in the first two years when he
[02:03] started creating content. Even Ranveer Aila Vadiya, who runs the Beer Bicep channel, if you look at his early videos, they had only 100-200 views. But even today they are stuck and if we talk about my channel Technical
[02:18] Yogi which is another big channel, then in the beginning brother, the in the beginning brother, the views used to be 38, 25, 26 and the channel was not growing, it was becoming very difficult to complete 1000 subscribers but do you know what was different in all of them,
[02:31] but do you know what was different in all of them, these people remained consistent and stayed put and at that time there would have been other channels too which would have started and the same thing would have happened with them too but they did not stop, so today
[02:44] you do not even know them. According to a research, 1000 new Ubers were tracked. Who published more than 52 videos. 77% of them were YouTubers who
[02:57] saw growth. But those who published less than 10 videos and already gave up. Out of them, there were only two-three channels which saw growth. So the bottom line is that consistency matters. If you ask me directly, brother,
[03:12] why are the views not coming? So let me tell you honestly that views do not come because the YouTube algorithm first understands the new creator and knows him a little. He does not know from the first day that in what form its content will
[03:26] remain. What kind of audience does this creator want to reach? And the biggest thing is whether this creator will remain consistent or not. And this is official. It is also written in YouTube's Creator Academy that it
[03:38] takes 6 to 12 months for the algorithm to recognize and understand a new creator. So if you are posting content, it does not mean that if you are not getting views then the content is bad. The content is good brother. But it takes time to understand the algorithm. Some people understand it in 2 months, some in 6 months
[03:51] , some in 8 months. So overall you have to keep working. If you had left it midway, had given up, the algorithm would not have been able to understand you. And you will always feel that brother, my content was bad. Brother the content was not bad. The tree
[04:04] you are planting today will bear fruit. Now some trees bear fruit a little late and some a little early. That's the only difference. You have to keep going. I'm giving you five practical tips today. If you follow these five tips, you will definitely not give up on YouTube
[04:18] and your channel will also grow. The first tip is this one which is related to mindset. Whatever output, whatever result you are getting, it has to be kept separate from the views. You just need to have a simple funda. Views are not in your hands. It is in your hands to
[04:34] make good videos. Keep the quantity as much as you can produce and improve at least 1% in every video. So you should keep a simple plan that friend, this week I will upload this much video and next week also I will do the same because you can do this, whatever is
[04:49] because you can do this, whatever is in your hands, do it with equal heart. Now comes tip number two: create a content diary. Write your idea that friend, I got this idea today. This video can be made on this. This could be its skip. This could be
[05:02] its thumbnail. If I get three ideas, then I will make three videos. I will schedule it at this time. I will upload it within a few days. If you have a content diary, you will see that there will be more work and you will start seeing progress. If you just post random things that
[05:15] come to your mind, you will see that the progress will be slow and you will not even realize it. You will not be able to do the work like work, so your mindset will not be able to become work-like. So, so your mindset will not be able to become work-like. So,
[05:29] Theory, and this theory was given by Calvin Kelly in 2008. He said that your focus should be that I will make 1000 of my true fans. That means, whatever video I upload, at least 1000 people should watch that video. They will be my true fans.
[05:43] If you make 1000 true fans, then whatever video you upload, at least 1000 people will definitely watch it. They are your true fans. So you can grow on YouTube in a sustainable way. Tip number four and I have also followed this and big creators have also
[05:58] followed it. This is the process of building love. Look, it is not always the case that this video of mine will play or not. You look at Bollywood. Many films are made for Rs 100 crore. It flops. Then those director actors make films.
[06:11] Then it flops. Sometimes it becomes a hit. Sometimes it flops. He loves that work. Process love. That means you love the process of the work you are doing. I will work only if I get views. You must have love, friend. It's
[06:24] fun to create content. I did not get the camera. I have a mobile phone so I will make it at night. I will make it during the day. If I have a studio, I will make it. If I am out somewhere, I will make it. You have to love that procedure. When you love the process,
[06:38] you don't see your work as work, but you do it with enjoyment. And when you keep working, you will get growth one day and you will get it. But the burden that comes on your mind is that I am not getting views.
[06:51] Now I will not work, I will give up. That burden does not remain. So bring the process, build it up. And one of the biggest rules that every new creator should do is the 90 Day Challenge. That means you should take the challenge of 90 days that brother, I may
[07:04] upload one video daily or one video in two days, but I will work continuously for 90 days. I will Some people give up after uploading five videos. At least you will get ahead of them. I guarantee it. So, take this 90-day schedule, this 90-day challenge,
[07:18] and then start on YouTube. Now let me tell you one practical thing directly. 500 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute. So this does not mean that if you are starting today, you will become visible and
[07:32] go viral immediately. If you don't, then it is normal. is not a big deal. But even if people are seen even after 2 years, it does not mean that they are lucky. He never stopped working in the last 2 years. He did not stop. He kept working, that's why he is
[07:46] visible today. Today, if you saw a creator for the first time and then in 2 months you saw his channel growing, then you should try to know his past, for how many years he was working on YouTube. Growth is now visible. So brother, if you are
[07:59] also taking time then it is normal. Your channel will grow but first of all you will have to grow this mindset of yours. So I think I tried to explain to you in every way, according to data, according to examples and according to motivation,
[08:12] according to examples and according to motivation, consistency is the key to success on YouTube. Even to be successful in every field. See you in the next video with a new topic. Till then, Jai Hind.
