How to Grow a Gaming Channel in 2024: Beginner to Pro Complete Guide

[00:00] It is very easy to grow a gaming channel in 2024 if you know these 6 hacks. But before telling these hacks, you must have had these questions in your mind somewhere. That the gaming niche has become too saturated. Or there is a lot of competition in gaming in 2024. Or you need extreme level skills to grow here. But let me tell you, all these things are wrong.

[00:18] The gaming niche is not saturated, just the field creators are more here. Compared to any other niche. And more than that, gaming has only become popular in India for 3-4 years now. While this thing is already going on abroad for 7-8 years. But still new creators are coming and growing there. But if you still think that there is a lot of competition here.

[00:35] And nothing will happen to you here. Then I ask you a question. If you watch the video of Techno Gamers. So don't you watch Ajju Bhai's videos? The obvious answer is that you watch both the videos. And if you think that gaming needs very good skills to grow. Then watch this video once.

[00:48] In this video, Reza Gaming has gained more than 6 million views. That too without saying anything. Just by creating funny moments. And by making such videos, they have also completed 389k subscribers. So what do these people know that you don't know? In this video, I am going to give you a complete road map. How to create a new gaming channel this year.

[01:04] And how to grow it. So let's start with point number 1 which is. If you open a gaming channel and start putting gameplays on it. Then the chances of your video going on is the same. As much as finding a pond in the desert. Before showing your expertise in any niche.

[01:20] You have to gather an audience of that niche. In other niches, we do this by using trend jacking. But what should we do in the gaming niche? On gaming channels, you can leave the gameplay. Gaming tips, update reviews, game news, game equipment, comparison videos. And along with that, you can create a lot of things related to top games. And just by doing this, this channel called ABU has gained 318k subscribers.

[01:42] And let me tell you that Techno Gamers also made some similar videos at its starting stage. If your skills are good, then you can make a content on tips and tricks. And if your skills are not of that level. Then you can tell about update reviews and upcoming news. And if you think you are an informative person. Then you can make content related to equipment and devices.

[02:01] With which you will create a gaming audience base on your channel. And the algorithm of YouTube will know who to suggest your content. And because of this, your channel will start getting good impressions in the starting. I would suggest that you do this work until your 1000 subscribers are not complete. Because gaining 1000 subscribers is the most difficult task. Now once you have created a channel and made an audience base on it.

[02:21] Then you can start putting gameplay on it. But how to put quality gameplay. Because of which the audience should watch the whole video. The first thing is to record your own gameplay in a good resolution. And also the voice. So to ensure that your gameplay is smoothly recorded.

[02:37] You have to come to your phone's settings. And write screen recorder in search. And then go there and set the definition to the maximum level. Whatever your phone allows. And the frame rate should be either 30fps or 60fps. If you have a good gaming mobile.

[02:51] And after that you have to turn off the record microphone sound from here. Due to which your voice will not be recorded during recording. Only the voice of your game will be recorded. And if you are recording something on PC. Then you can do all these settings in OBS studio. You have to record your voiceover in a different way.

[03:06] You will need another device to record your voice with gaming. Phone or PC will work. In that you have to turn on your voice recorder. And connect your mic or earphones. And record your voice with gaming. This will make you have a separate file of your voice.

[03:21] Which will not be connected to your game. And this thing is going to be very useful to you later. And if you don't have two phones in your house. Then in that case you can later on voiceover in your video. Due to which you will have another advantage. To make your video better.

[03:33] And how will this happen? I will explain this to you in a while. But before that you need to understand something else. Gaming channels do not run because of the game. But because of who is playing that game. A personality is attached to every gaming channel. That is, if you watch any gaming channel.

[03:46] Then you don't just watch the game. But listen to the voice of that creator. Listen to his commentary. And listen to his storytelling. And this is the thing that makes these gaming channels so big. If I remove his expressions from the Mitpat channel.

[03:58] Remove his way of talking from Total Gaming Channel. And remove his energy from Techno Gamers. Then all these gaming channels are like other normal gaming channels. There are a lot of skilled gamers in India. You will find them in the streets. But we have very few creators.

[04:10] And if you upload gameplays on YouTube. Then you need to understand that you are a creator. Not a gamer. You don't just have to do gameplay. But you have to connect with your audience. And you have to connect in such a way. That they wait for your next videos. And they want to see more of your videos. And all these things will be with the right voiceover.

[04:27] For which you can take two approaches. If you think that your sense of humor is very good. And you can create a joke on the moment. Or you can make a funny situation. Or you can show something interesting in your video. Which people enjoy watching.

[04:39] Then you can record your voice with your game. Just like I told you before. But if you want to improve the quality of your video. So what you can do is. First you play the whole game. And after that write a script.

[04:51] Which has a little more humor element. Now because you have played the whole game. Then you will know. On which scenes more funny things can be said. And in this way you will make your script a little more fun. After which you can voiceover your script.

[05:04] And you can set it according to the video. Now it will be beneficial. That in a 40 minute gameplay. Which scenes will be interesting or funny. You will only be able to write about them. And you will know. Which scenes you don't want to show in your edit. Like your video will be 10x more engaging. Now your channel will not only be known for your gameplay.

[05:22] Your funny moments. Or because of your seriousness. But only good script and voiceover will not work. You will have to do good editing. So that you can maintain the retention of your audience on your video. Now what are the elements of editing.

[05:41] Which make a gaming video more interesting. Number 1 is text. Which you can add in between. With attractive colors. So that your audience's brain keeps doing some activity. Otherwise if your audience's brain goes into easy mode.

[05:53] Then they will start the work. Which is their reflexes. Which is scrolling. And while scrolling they will click somewhere on someone else's video. Because of which you will have a loss. The next element is memes. Whenever you get a chance. Or if you remember any meme related to any scene. Then you must add it.

[06:09] So that the audience's interest remains. And while laughing they watch the whole video. The third element is sound effects. One thing that big YouTubers do in their gameplay. That is to put sound effects at the right time at the right place. And small YouTubers ignore this thing.

[06:22] Or forget. Because of which their gameplay gets a little dull. This is a small thing. Which can improve the quality of your video a lot. The fourth element is color grading. Normally when you are playing a game. Then your game looks something like this. The same YouTuber's game looks something like this. The reason is not good devices.

[06:39] But color grading. Which they do in their whole video. And in the same way they play with colors. And create some funny moments like this. Now the editing of gaming videos is a very big and important topic. That's why I can't cover it in full detail in this video.

[06:52] But if you want me to make a detailed video on editing. In which I will teach you to make the gameplay more engaging. And also provide some effects like this. Then go to the comment section and write editing. I will start working on this video as soon as 1000 comments are completed. But till then.

[07:07] If you think that by making quality content. Your gaming channel will work. Then you are wrong. Because if YouTube doesn't suggest your video. Then what will you do with that quality. If you want your content to be suggested to as many people as possible.

[07:22] Then you should make a video on trending topics or viral topics. But what can be a trending topic for a gaming channel? If there is not. Then we will make it ourselves. What you can do is. Whatever trending topic or meme is going on. You can start making content on it.

[07:36] Like now a lot of trend of Moe Moe meme was going on. At that time if you make videos like this. Moe Moe Moment in PUBG. Or Moe Moe Moment in Minecraft. Then you can also get some views like this. In the same way you can use any viral personality in your video.

[07:50] Like this creator made Bugatti of Andrew Tate in Minecraft. Or you can also take advantage of current news. Like Techno Gamers did. Building Ram Mandir in Minecraft. You have to think according to your game. Which trending thing you can merge with your game.

[08:04] This will increase your growth chances by 50 times. Because at that time that keyword is trending. And people are searching it. So if you have made any content related to it. Then your video will also rank. And it will be suggested to maximum people.

[08:16] Now let's say you have followed all the steps I told you. And also learned to suggest your content. But what if someone doesn't click on it when your video is suggested. These are the thumbnails of 3 viral videos of Techno Gamers. Total Gaming. And Mythpad.

[08:32] And if you look at them carefully. Then one thing is common in these 3 things. These 3 thumbnails are also very clickable. But still it is very simple. You won't see more than 3-4 elements in all these thumbnails. In the thumbnails of gaming channel.

[08:44] Basically you have to show some unique scenes in the game. So that people stop on your thumbnail. And click on it. Now you can either create such scenes in your game on the basis of your skills. And then you can put their screenshot on the thumbnail. Or you can create them by editing.

[08:59] Yes you heard it right. Maximum gaming thumbnails that you see. They are actually clickbait and edited. It doesn't happen that nothing like that happens in the game. But showing that thing in the same place is a different thing. And you can also do that.

[09:12] But how to create such thumbnails? And where did these PNGs come from to make such thumbnails? If you want a detailed video on this. Then quickly write a thumbnail in the comment section. I will cover this topic confirm. Now by following all these things. You will make your video viral for once. But what should you do to get views on your videos again and again? I will tell you a secret.

[09:35] Which if you decode. Then you can be viral on any social media platform in the world. That too again and again. The thing that has worked once. It will definitely work again. This is called pattern in modern language. Your face will grow at the speed of a rocket. If you know how to recognize patterns and create patterns. But what is this? I will explain now.

[09:54] He is the best example of this. Although Mr. Beast has been making videos for years. But all his videos are the same. As you can see. The core of all these videos is the same. Which is 1 dollar to 1 million dollar.

[10:09] And he just keeps changing different things in front of this core. Because he has understood. What kind of things people are liking. And he has made this thing in a pattern. And that's why he keeps getting views again and again. In the same way 4 years ago.

[10:21] Wins 20,000 dollars. And he got 72 million views on this video. Which was a little more than his average. And after that he created this in a pattern. And kept making exactly the same kind of videos. But every time he kept changing the last thing of the title.

[10:37] Due to which his video idea was unique. But he followed the same thing. Which had worked before. And in the same way you can create a pattern in your gaming channel. As AS Gaming did. And before you realize.

[10:49] All your videos will start going viral. Now if you follow all these points. Then I can guarantee you. No one can stop your gaming channel from growing. But every new channel needs a boost in the starting. So where did he get it from? Current gamers have an advantage.

[11:06] Which the old gamers did not have. And that is Shorts. I generally do not prefer. That you put Shorts and long form content on the same channel. But in gaming channels you can do this. During your gameplay. Whichever best scenes are there. Or any funny or unique scenes are there. For that scene you can prepare a separate voiceover.

[11:22] And you can make a 30 to 50 second short of it. That too with Hook. And YouTube's algorithm promotes Shorts. You all must know this thing. So when views will come on those Shorts. Then people will also visit your channel. And slowly your subscribers will start gaining. In fact, you can also create your Shorts in such a way. That there is a hook at the beginning of the shot.

[11:40] And leave a suspense at the end of the shot. After which you can give a CTA. That is Call to Action. That if you want to know what happened next. Then watch this entire video of mine. And just like this. You can bring people to your long form content with your Shorts. And if you have made quality content. Then they will subscribe to you.

[11:56] And you can also put these Shorts on Instagram. From where you will also gain followers from Instagram. And those followers will also watch your YouTube videos. And in the same way you can bring more views on your channel in the starting. And can grow very fast from the starting. Now.

[12:09] I have told you all the secrets from creating a gaming channel to growing it. But there is one thing without which your gaming channel. Can't grow any kind of channel. That is to upload the video in the right way. Which I have explained well in this video. So definitely watch this video.

[12:24] If you don't want your gaming channel to fail even after all the hard work.
