YouTube IS IT HARD TO GROW A CHANNEL CURRENTLY

[swizzlegacy]

People say its extremely hard to blow up in youtube nowadays caus e its so saturated is this true

 

[The Rubin]

It is kind of true. You just need to be original or just copy video ideas from others (don't copy word for word though).

 

[TwilightPrinze]

Youtube has a huge community and many people that want to become big. If we count the amount of Gaming, Vlogging, or whatever genre channel then there are thousand of each in wich you have to compete to earn your spot. The ones who can stay calm and stay dedicated will come somewhere because those without patience give up leaving more room for us to grow.

Well there are always exceptions to the rules I've seen plenty of channels doing the same type of content as other people but their channels / views have exploded overnight. You just have to remember that in certain aspects of YouTube - especially gaming for example there is thousands upon thousands of people trying to do the same type of content - which means you have to outshine loads of people to get noticed - so in short yes I would say certain aspects of getting noticed are hard, though there is always hope

 

[GulfBulk]

Yes And No. It Is If You Don't Post On It A Lot Like Me But If You Try And Put In Hard Work You Will Grow.

We all know i'm going to be the next pewd

 

[Red Bean]

This is pretty true because most people have their YouTubers that they like to watch and don't give new people much thought.

As said above already, you will need to do something nobody or only a few people do. Gaming is pretty saturated on YouTube nowadays for example while there's new ideas/topics coming up all the time (Trends).

 

[Mr Price]

Ye, just go with a subject and be passion about it. as for me (I like to game/entertain people) So i always try to make a video as funny as possible

More often than not though, those that doe have quick growth had outside help, such as an already established channel helping them out. Of course it can be completely organic, but is very rare these days.

True true, I know its a bit outdated now but look at it when Pewdiepie did his one and only shoutout series, most of the channels mentioned exploded, most notably JackSepticEye

 

[GamerCasual]

I feel its saturated as well ..
However, after seeing what some youtubers have gone through in the media .. do ya really want to be as popular as pewdiepie? markiplier? ect lol

Personally, I don't.
I'm not looking to get rich off my channel, I upload and do LP because I enjoy playing the game and being myself. If that brings other like minded people to my channel thats cool.
If no one views my vids lol .. well that's cool with me to.

I personally wouldn't want the fame or responsibility big youtubers have.
I would rather be just .. casual

 

[theketolifter]

I would have to agree, YouTube is rather saturated, ESPECIALLY in certain genres, Gaming most of all.. BUT... There is room, and you can be successful, it's all about luck, consistency, and finding what works for you. At the end of the day, though, you've got to be doing something you like, or you will get burnt out quickly.

yes, but you just have to find something that attracts the viewers somehow and keep them coming in with new fresh material that is original and you like doing!

 

[Nolan Westmore]

Yes, it is true. Full stop.

People are under the impression that if they are like the popular guy, they can become popular as well. That is the worst thing you can do for your channel, people want new and different, and doing what the next guy is going will not help. Which is why you must refrain from any basic form of video in any genre.

Let's take gaming genre for example and Pokemon Go. I have seen channels jump in subs quickly but as time goes they lose subs if they don't do something new or fresh that other channels aren't doing. And other channels like Trainertips steadily grows because of the way he does his content, and when pokemon go looked like it was about to die because lack of new things, he branched out a bit with pokemon duel and found a new audience to appeal to.

 

[Crazyman Gaming]

Its hard to grow when you begin but once you start getting subs you have to keep on going and dont stop at it even if you believe that its going nowhere. Once you have a big channel you'll be happy you never gave up.

 

[RoadMusicChals]

I am new so this is an interesting topic. Its almost like any endeavor right?

 

[KrazyK Gaming]

While my channel hasn't really grown in a year (Since I've stopped CSGO content for the most part) in terms of new subs, I am getting about 1k views/month.

So for only having 169 subs, but getting 1k views/monthly is a good trade off in my opinion...
