a few months ago I made a video talking about how to grow a gaming channel but I thought there was a lot of information missing so here is part two of how to grow a gaming channel on YouTube in 2025 Firstly you will define what the games you will bring here on your channel will be like , it will be one that is just focused on one game or one that covers several games to help you choose . only in a game let's start with its advantages a niche audience who likes the game you chose will follow and engage more since you deliver exactly what they are looking for two authorities on the topic you can become a reference in that game Which increases your credibility and gives confidence on the subject then it's up to you if you want to bring game tips updates or Gam play itself three facilities for ranking on YouTube the algorithm will understand better for those who recommend your channel because it's just a game so it will deliver it to people who like that game you are in bringing it to your channel These were the advantages from my point of view now let's move on to the disadvantages one the dependence on the game if the game dies or loses popularity your channel could suffer from this If you don't know if Reinvent two Lack of variety when you make content just about one game this can tire you You can get sick of it as happened to many Youtubers it even happened to me when I recorded videos on Minecraft and as time went by I lost the desire to play and record videos for that channel third place is the difficulty in expanding if you want to change for other games in the future the public may not follow this very well but here you can evaluate because there will also be people on your channel who will be there for you not for the game now let's go to the channel focused on several games and as usual Let's start with the advantages a variety here you can explore different games trends ideas always keeping the content new two greater audience reach each game covered can attract a new audience and that's very good three security different from focusing on a single game and running the risk of it flopping is that this is very difficult to happen because of the variety of games now let's move on to the disadvantages less loyalty from the audience not everyone will watch the videos about the games you post second most confusing algorithm YouTube may have difficulty defining the niche of your channel then you may have the impression that YouTube is a little confused as to who I am the third audience is the biggest effort you will have because you will need to research playing and mastering several games to create constant content now that we know the root of the channel Let's get to the technical part now guys I'm going to be very honest with you Gameplay channel where you just play won't work out like these days. It's difficult to happen without being dynamic But come on, I don't think everyone here has mastered the art of video editing and to be honest, you don't need to know either, right?
You have to have fluid and funny video editing because that's what makes a gaming channel go viral. A gaming channel is entertainment, that's what I'm saying if you create a channel focused on gaming, if you create a curiosity channel, gaming news is another story But getting back to the subject, video editing must be fluid and funny, but what do you mean, dry parts show the best moments, soundtracks, some subtitles to emphasize the scene Ah but I only have one cell phone for you it will be a little more difficult in terms of games Because we don't have a range of large games for cell phones if you are going to make a channel focused on varied games the gameplay is also not good and you need to have a reasonable cell phone and when I talk about a reasonable cell phone I am talking about a cell phone that doesn't crash and that records with good quality but it is still possible to create a successful channel using just your cell phone this here is Kika's channel If we go and see her first videos we can see that she started using just a cell phone playing roblo and her videos were simple her video editing was simple too she basically used the dry room some subtitles on the screen and the rest was what is the main factor of the entire games channel personality This was her difference because there were already people doing the same style of editing as hers but she used her personality to differentiate herself from the others and this worked very well following the technical part of the channel we have the thumbnail and the title if you know graphic design feel free to make a well-crafted video cover of course following some characteristics like fear curiosity pleasure ambition etc but if you don't know much about Covers designers' videos Don't worry, make it clickable , because when you have a good video idea, it sort of meets the need for a well-crafted video cover. The title, yes, I would say it should be worked on, because it's kind of the gateway to your video.
I'm going to leave a PDF here in the description where it will show the characteristics of a good title. And speaking of the description, you should focus more on it. In the registration, you can put a summary of your video with the keywords.
YouTube really likes this. Now, let's move on to some very interesting strategies to do. on the gaming channel there is a content F that I used a lot on my channel which was made up and using shorts and tiktok to attract more people to my channel this content was very quick content with good video conditions so I directed these people to my channel and there I made more elaborate videos with the aim of creating a bond with the person and only then comes the subscription and loyalty of this audience This is a very classic content funnel but it still works ah but how can I find ideas to make these types of videos In this situation you can go to the anonymous tab on YouTube and start consuming content that follows the same pattern as yours.
Then when you go back to home YouTube you will see that a lot of recommendations will start to appear on the subject you researched, then you will have ideas for endless videos guys, I think the hardest part of having a gaming channel is the consistency of posting videos because there will be moments where things don't appear to be going well, the views will drop, there will be little engagement and at these times you have to be patient and continue.
