looking for some help with my monetisation and adsense. i cant see the deposit they are meant to have sent, ive somehow got 2 adsense accounts. and they are showing i havent reached the minimum payment threshold in adsense. im seriously lost. any help or advice would be hugely appreciated

You ever make a video, channel, and/or creation and wonder to yourself "Am I adding too much stuff?" I find myself an hour or two into editting and thinking back on the simplicity of alot of the other more prominent channels out there and wonder if that extra razzle dazzle was even worth the time. This could range to a brand new logo of some sort to something as small as a transition. What about you guys? Do you find yourself adding what just might be too much? Do you ignore it anyway because you think it will hit? Do you take a step back?

Hello All,

I run a channel with around 15k subscribers. I often get emails to my business account to review products and such. Today I got an email about putting an advertisement in my videos for the newest 'GoPro' camera. I agreed to it and got an email back about 2 hours later thanking me for my swift response followed by complete details of compensation for my amount of subscribers and how do go about signing their DocuSign agreement.

This is the biggest 'name-brand' I've had reach out to me but the thing that seems odd is its coming from an email address 'offilive.com' and the docusign requires me to download an app and enter a 15 digit code they provided. Also signed "Global Community Marketing Manager - GoPro" no actual name or anything like that.

I work in IT and I see multiple red flags here... but just want to find out if anyone else has received legitimate sponsorships or collaboration offers like this. I would assume if there is paperwork involved you usually get sent a PDF to sign... not an app to install.

Hey folks! I'm a 16m and I'm a new small youtuber with about 50 subscribers! I'm looking to make a name for myself and want to play games like phasmophobia, lethal company, content warning, and im open to anything else :D I have a few vids already but it's mainly minecraft. I dont mind about the age gap.... too much as long as it isn't weird haha If you interested, my discord is 'dillywithtoast', so message me and we can start a new friendship!

I'm a LinkedIn content creator who's looking to make the switch to YouTube. I've been working with a 1:1 coach to help me grow my LinkedIn audience, but wasn't sure if that was a 'thing' for YouTube and where I could find a coach. Essentially I want to pay someone to teach me the ropes of running YouTube as a business.

I'm also interested in joining a creator cohort, like Ali Abdaal's. I like the idea of growing together with other newbie YouTubers.

Overall, I really want to have an accountability partner to help me stay on track with my goals.

Does anyone know of any good coaches or cohorts or just where to find them generally? I'm curious as smaller YouTubers what has helped you the most to get off the ground and running.

Hey! I'm only posting short videos on my channel.

When I started my channel, my videos went viral immediately. In the first two months, I made 19K subs and 40M views. But then I took a 3 month break because of IRL situations...

Recently, I started uploading again on the same channel. I'm posting the same kind of shorts, and my analytics are just as good—sometimes even better than they used to be—but now I'm not getting any views.

My videos are flatlining at 7-15K views, and some of them are never really getting pushed into the feed.

One of my recent video got an 89.9% view rate (how many choose to view) and 90% retention = 15K views.
For comparison, my first-ever video got a 70% view rate and 89% retention = 5.4M views.
But I have many recent videos with around a 70-75% view rate and over 100% retention = 7-10K view cap.

Same niche, same editing style (but better quality), and I'm posting 1-2 shorts per day.

Now, when I upload a video, it's very common for the view rate to drop down to 50%, but after a few thousand views, it goes up to ~70%, which makes me think that the algorithm keeps finding very bad seed audiences for my videos initially. Even though I write SEO-optimized descriptions, use hashtags, and normal search tags as well.

Has anyone experienced the same? If I keep pushing my videos for a while, is the algorithm going to fix itself, or should I start a new channel? Thanks in advance!

So I have a small channel and try to do daily shorts uploads.

Using one short vid as an example:

11k views from YouTube search 5k views from browser ONLY 2k shorts feed

81% CTR and 95% audience retention.

So why only shown 2k in shorts feed? CTR is there, AVP is good!

Any ideas on what the limitation is here? Maybe just a niche market on shorts? Or possibly something I’m overlooking?

Anyone interested in a collab? Im a small faceless youtube in the motivation niche

I’ve been trying to grow my YouTube channel lately, but my CTR keeps hovering around 2-3%. 😟

I did some research and found out that thumbnails have a huge impact on CTR. But predicting which type of thumbnail will get more clicks is really tough!

Some creators:
✔ Use big, readable text.
✔ Add exaggerated facial expressions.
✔ Simplify backgrounds.

What about you? How did you improve your CTR? Any tips you can share?

Hello, I have a new YouTube channel and have created an Instagram simultaneously. Can I share the link here? Is it allowed, so that I gather some engagement and also please help out with some ideas to improvise it. Would appreciate the help, means a lot people. Peace Out

Hello, I’m new at editing and work a full time job and it’s becoming a hassle to edit my videos and I was wondering if anyone here was up for hire for a video or two

Hey everyone! I’m looking to connect with other content creators to collaborate on some gaming content. Whether it's co-op gameplay, challenge videos, or just fun moments, I’d love to team up and create something awesome together.

Has anyone had any luck collabing with other gaming creators? How did it go? Also, where do you usually find people to collab with (Discord, Twitter, Reddit, or somewhere else)?

If you're interested in working together, let me know what kind of content you make and what games you're into

Hi friends! So my channel is pretty small, about 575 subs. I had a pretty good stretch of 3 videos, posted every two weeks. Each of those 3 videos were above 1k, with my best getting to 4.2k I gained half my subs from these videos. I tried to replicate the style, started posting weekly, and now I can hardly crack 200 views on the channel. My videos seem to be struggling to gain any traction. My CTR and View Duration are better than I’ve ever had, but no reach. Any suggestions?

I’ve been wanting to start a channel forever but I honestly struggle with finding *one* thing to focus on content wise. I want to have fun and have a decent chance at growing and that’s obviously much more difficult if you don’t have a niche or specific type of content people can come back for unless you’re an already established creator. There’s hundreds of topics I’d want to make videos about from gaming to book reviews to politics and vlogs. I know people say to find a topic you could talk about for 100 hours but I honestly feel like I have at least twenty of those. Just curious about how other creators found their thing :)

So recently I have begun trying to use a new mic while recording. HOWEVER, I’ll fully edit the video at a good volume, and listen to it after exporting (still with good volume). And yet the INSTANT I upload it to YouTube it sounds like 45 atomic bombs are exploding in my ears and break the sound barrier. I then have to delete the video and lower the volume in the editing software to a point that I can barely even hear it just to have it sound normal on YouTube. Anyone have advice about how to make the volume in editing consistent with YouTube?

I have a gaming channel and I dedicate a lot of time to it, but no one watches it, I don't seem to gain any fans, any tips? I don't want to explode and be hyperfamous, but having at least 1 person to watch my content would make me very happy, I use tags, I post on Instagram and shorts, but I can't get views, I want help with tags and promotion, how to reach more people

Hey everyone,

I wanna to figure out the best music licensing service for my content, and I’ve read about some issues people have faced with Epidemic Sound. One common example is when someone creates a video with Epidemic Sound music, and then sends a clip to a family member or client for them to upload on their own social media. This has reportedly caused copyright claims if the uploader’s platform isn’t covered under the same Epidemic Sound subscription.

On the other hand, I’ve heard that Artlist’s universal license might be more flexible, allowing creators to share their work with others without running into such issues.

For those of you who’ve used both services:

1. Is Artlist really more lenient when it comes to licensing shared content?
2. Does Epidemic Sound still require every platform to be registered under its subscription to avoid claims?
3. If you’ve switched between these two, what’s your experience been in terms of flexibility and ease of use?

I’m just trying to make the best choice for my workflow and avoid licensing headaches in the future.

Hello everyone! I’m a small channel in the true crime niche (not English language), trying to get to 1k subs. Everything was going well, I got to 750 subs and the latest videos were getting around 2k views each, until my previous video. It didn’t even get 200 views and not any subs, it flopped completely. I thought that maybe that particular subject wasn’t interesting and that the next video will do better. It did better, but not as well as the ones before the one that flopped. Do you think that YouTube’s algorithm takes into consideration how the previous video does and promotes the next one accordingly? Has anything similar happened to any of you? Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you very much🙏

i make animation storytimes videos since 2 years ago, but in spanish and recently i decided to start to translate my videos to english, i'm still learning english so my pronunciation isn't the best, in spanish storytime videos with animation is a small niche but in english have more reach, but, the niche is oversaturated?

sorry for my bad english

and i have another question that doesn't have nothing to do with the principal topic

can i make a post here for a spanish youtube channel?, because i didn't find i community in spanish to have recommendations about my another channel

I’ve been posting/giving feedback for about four weeks now the whole currency system for this sub is kind of silly. My post keep getting removed because I’m asking for feedback because I don’t have enough of the currency, but I’ve been commenting under post/interacting people for weeks. This does the opposite of what this sub is for like how is a small YouTuber gonna get advice if they don’t have any of that dumb currency

I have made a fan page of my favourite youtuber I only post shorts can I monetize it

I posted a 27 sec shorts it has around 67% AVP( Average view Percentage). I wanna know what is a good AVP for videos of around 30 sec length. And please share analytics of videos which performed better than most on your channel.

Trying to find other channels that mainly focus on halo to do some collaboration videos! If anyone is down let me know!
