Channels with 500 to 500,000 subscribers can receive 'hype' from viewers in the first 7 days of each video, boosting their ranking among creators.
Since July, creators can use mild profanity in the first 7 seconds of videos without losing monetization, as long as it's not overdone and swear words aren't in thumbnails or titles.
Shorts and vertical clips on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are essential for gaining visibility, followers, and building a community.
Nexus Clips can connect to Twitch or YouTube, automatically generate viral clips with subtitles, vertical format, hooks, and hashtags, and even schedule uploads to TikTok.
After 7 years on Twitch with only 6,000 followers and 15 average viewers, the creator switched to YouTube and found more success in 2 years by creating tutorials and tool reviews.
Step 1: Choose a topic you're passionate about. Step 2: Use what you have (phone, headphones, natural light). Step 3: Make a list of ideas and record a video this week, even if it's bad. Step 4: Focus on progress, not perfection.
YouTube promotes evergreen content, shorts are exploding, and niches have room. The algorithm isn't against you; you need to give it interesting, consistent, focused content with your personal touch.

The point that a video with 5,000 views can earn more than one with 50,000 highlights the importance of topic and value over raw view counts.
04:15[00:02] Twitch is filling up with bots, KCK too. And advertisers are already leaving. Hey guys, it's Elmich here, and if you haven't started your YouTube channel yet, this might be the best time in years to do it.
[00:15] While Twitch is sinking, YouTube is doing the opposite. For example, by pushing small creators with a new system called Hype. If you have between 500 and 500,000 subscribers, in the first 7 days of each video your viewers can
[00:28] give you hype that raises your ranking among creators. And if your channel is small, know how to hype this video because you help me a lot. I think this is a give small creators a little push , because it's as if YouTube
[00:41] let's help you even if it's just a little bit." You have to start somewhere, right? And since July you first 7 seconds without losing your monetization. You can now be more yourself without the long as you don't overdo it, and don't include these swear words in the thumbnails or
[00:57] titles. And if you're starting from scratch, shorts and vertical clips are essential. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube's own shorts are tools that help you gain a lot of visibility, that is, generate views,
[01:09] followers, and, why not, start building a community from there. And indeed, it is additional work. You need to invest time, effort, and sometimes even money. And if you don't want to or can't do it, that's okay. That's what
[01:21] Clips you can connect your Twitch or YouTube channel and automatically generate viral clips . Subtitles, vertical format, hooks, viral titles, hashtags ready. You can even upload a
[01:35] video manually and Nexus Clips will cut it, enhance it, and get it ready to post. It tells you which clip has the most potential to go viral. It's like having an editor, a community manager, and an algorithm on your side, all in one. What more do you want?
[01:48] Have TikTok upload it for you? Well, guess what, Nexus Clips does that too . You can publish directly from here or schedule them with everything, including viral hashtags. It's cheaper if you use my code Almich. There it is,
[02:00] in the description section. So if you're starting out, the perfect time to start on YouTube is here, surprise, it's already here and it's not going to wait for you. I have been creating content for almost 9 years . I started on Twitch
[02:13] streaming almost daily and for many years I believed that doing many hours of streaming would lead me to success, which didn't happen. With almost 7 years on Twitch, I barely managed to get 6,000 followers with an average of 15 viewers. That's when I realized I
[02:27] needed something more. I started uploading my streams to YouTube, but that didn't work either. And in a way, it was obvious. Poor quality, unedited videos . And most importantly, people didn't know me. And I don't blame them because they were going to
[02:40] want to see some unknown person who wasn't offering anything new if they could when it hit me and I thought, I need to create a different kind of content. streaming tutorials, and different tools to improve the content I already had.
[02:55] But surprisingly, sometimes I couldn't find a video that would help me with a sometimes they were in English, and in the last cases, those videos did exist, but they were very poorly explained. So I said to myself, "I think I can
[03:08] wish I'd found." And boom, in two years on YouTube I achieved more than in seven on Twitch. More views, a bigger community, and way more income. And if I this video is helping you so far , please like, comment,
[03:23] subscribe, and all that stuff you know how to do, because those little things really while we're at it, tell me, do you have any experience on YouTube? Do you already have your own channel? What's your channel about? I'll be reading your
[03:35] very simple plans to get started here on YouTube. I'm not going to go into too tons of videos here talking about specific topics. If you want to know more I have a specific playlist for YouTube. Step one, choose a topic, something you're
[03:49] really passionate about or that you're good at. Cooking, gaming, Reviews, history, whatever. Step two, use what you have. Your phone records in HD, headphones with a microphone, and with natural light you can work wonders. Step three,
[04:03] make a list of ideas and record a video this week, even if it's bad, even if you're embarrassed. Remember, your first video is going to be the worst. And that's good because it means you can only improve from there. YouTube still promotes
[04:15] evergreen content, like these videos. Shorts are exploding, niches have room. I have videos with 5,000 views that have given me more income than others with 50,000. It's all about the topic and the value. The algorithm
[04:27] isn't against you. You just need to know why it should show you, and you give it that with interesting, consistent, focused content and your personal touch. Don't wait for your friends to support you. Don't obsess over going
