How to Deal With no Views on YouTube
Small YouTuber? Read this before you quit. As a small channel on YouTube, how do you stay motivated? How do you push through, even when the holy algorithm seems to be against you? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Spoiler: Yes!
You could be one video away from going viral BUT you'll never know it if you don't stay in the game.
No Views on Your Video?
Good morning, everyone! What a beautiful day. Let me check out my YouTube channel real quick.
*sees basically no views from yesterday...*
"Oh, fu—"
If you can relate to this, welcome to my world. The struggle is real.
Unless you're a pretty face—who makes a complete fool of herself,
or...
this guy, you're probably going to go unnoticed on YouTube for a very long time. Unless you post shorts, of course. The cheat code everyone is using nowadays to grow their channel fast.
However, if the idea of 'taking' other people's content and uploading it as your own doesn't sound attractive to you—nor it should, then it's going to be a long grind.
Here's the thing: Every single video you post is like spinning the YouTube lottery wheel. Sure, most of the time, you hit “Thanks for trying,” but sometimes—sometimes—you hit the jackpot.
Just ask Graham Stephan, who made enough YouTube ad revenue last year to buy a small island. Or Ryan Kaji, a 9-year-old who earned $30 million dollars! You know what I made when I was 9? A lego castle... No, I'm not bitter. Just stating facts.
Now, before you go full existential crisis over your sub count, let me hit you with some cold, hard fact. You're not wasting your time. Even if your channel feels deader than disco, you've leveled up.
Your videos are better now than when you started—trust me. Unless your first video was directed by Spielberg, in which case, why are you even here? And hey, let's not forget the algorithm has the memory of a goldfish. It could randomly start pushing your two-month-old video tomorrow. Or even a year from now!
It's like that friend who only texts you back after 3 years: annoying, but occasionally useful. James Jani? 400 subscribers in 5 months... Then, BAM! Quarter of a million subs 2 months later. YouTube growth is like my caffeine intake—exponential. So, keep going!
"The only people who fail are the ones who quit."
Here's a rare video of Mr. Beast when he was still small. What a huge difference from then and now, when he has more than 300 million subscribers! Can you believe it?!
So, go make that next video! Smash through that brick wall, keep building momentum and one day, when you get that silver plaque, don't forget to mention me. Or, you know, name your firstborn after me.
