Avoid these 3 Mistakes if you want to grow FAST on YouTube

let me guess this isn't the first time you watching a video about how to grow your YouTube channel you probably spend hours maybe even months learning how to start and where to start but this endless cycle of learning needs to end previously I did a survey among my subscribers to understand their biggest struggles so today I'm going to share the most common struggles people face when starting a new YouTube channel and how to overcome them I understand how you feel because it took me ages to get where I am today like from outside it looks

like my channel is an overnight success because we reached to 100K subscribers in 3 months and to 1 million in 2 years but before this channel I had four failed channels actually I've been making videos since 2015 and it's been 9 years and only the last like 3 to four years have been successful so it took me 5 years to learn how to start a successful YouTube channel and I don't want you to take 5 years like I did one of the biggest mistakes I've done in the beginning was starting posting videos before I even

knew my like long-term goal I never thought about it I hear some YouTubers encouraging to just keep bsing consistently and then they promise you you will be successful I understand where they come from because most people don't even like post for a year and they just quit but I did post for 5 years and nothing happened maybe it was because my content was really awful that even being consistent wasn't enough it didn't work in like 2015 you know right now the competition is much higher compared to back then imagine even in 2015 you couldn't get

away with just posing content so how do you think you're going to stand out from a bunch of YouTubers that are in 2024 not just by posting random content you fancy so what should you do if I would have only 48 Hours the first thing I would do is to determine my Niche I would probably spend about like 12 hours on this if you want to grow fast on social media you got to start narrow there are some exceptions like if you have an interesting life or personality or if you already have the skills to

create videos right if you have a good production quality then you don't necessarily need to start narrow but that doesn't apply to 99% of people I know and even if you have these skills these advantages it will still take time for you to grow if you start broad you you can always broaden your Niche once you build an audience in a smaller Niche so how can you pick a niche there are two approaches to pick your Niche and it actually depends on your long-term Financial goal you might think I haven't even started posting it like

why would I think about monetization but that's one of the mistakes I see people making because depending on your financial goal the way you pick your Niche the way you pick your content strategy is going to be different so it's actually crucial to be clear about your approach from the start because we're not treating YouTube as a hobby if you want to become a YouTuber you need to treat it as a business and to do so you need to have a clear strategy there are two main ways to pick a niche either pick something you

are super passionate about you know you can't like shut up about you just love that thing or pick something you're good at and have credibility in the first approach is where you take the reporter approach it's a really good way to start your channel especially if you're not an expert yet or let's say you don't have a credibility to teach others about something but have a burning passion for a specific topic it can be like anything from books Fitness Finance philosophy Tech you name it if you don't know what you are passionate about what you

can do is ask your friends ask your family about the topics that you like to talk about it should be something you like spending your time learning about it and exploring different like subtopics in it because once you start your channel you're going to spend a lot of time learning about it instead of presenting yourself as a guru you can dive into a topic you are passionate about document your journey share what you learn along the way let's say like you want to start a fitness channel but you're not in shape or you're not necessarily

in like a really good shape so instead of trying to giving exercise and diet advice to people what I would do is that I would document my own fitness journey I would share the workout routines that I'm doing what I'm eating the challenges that I'm facing and also the progress that I'm making like physical and mental because when you do so people will relate to your authenticity and appreciate the real time updates on your journey like if people can see you're actually getting in shape each video by video then that's more motivating and also by

documenting your own transformation not only you gain credibility but you also become more relatable by showing the process of how you changed or let's say you want to start a Channel about building a business but you haven't built any businesses so rather than giving people you know advice to how to start read books listen to podcasts watch videos and try and share what you learned and also the results that you got from those things so document each step and share the mistakes you made so basically it's like becoming a human Ginia pic you're going to

try new things learn from your experiences and document the process and once you share this insights right once you gain this credibility through your documentation and also gain a following then you can monetize your knowledge the experiences that you had with your Audience by it can be selling your knowledge it can be selling products maybe Services maybe coaching for example if your fitness journey leads to a significant result and you actually got like really fit you could create a workout plans or do coaching and help your o audience to get fit so the reporter approach

not only helps you build trust and engage with your audience but also allows you to grow your expertise naturally it will take more time to monetize but since you don't have credibility it's always much better to gain The credibility first and then monetize so if you're fine with this I would highly recommend going with the reporter route when you're trying to grow your YouTube channel having the right tools can make all the difference our today's sponsor tube magic is an AI tool that helps YouTubers to grow on YouTube it was designed by another YouTuber Matt

par who runs make money Matt Channel and runs more than 12 channels which is crazy tube magic has a niche Explorer tool with a list of best niches on YouTube with example channels and estimated RPMs of those niches not only that it can also help you come up with video ideas based on how your channel is doing or any other channels you choose you can literally like take the link put it on tube magic and get ideas and all of your ideas will be saved in logs so you will never lose any of them and

below thank you to Magic for sponsoring this part if you already got your some experience if you already have some credibility in a certain area I would go for the teacher approach to pick a niche jot down the problems you solved in the past it can be anything like physical transformation or maybe how you overcome your mental issues or maybe have you built a business or maybe learned a new language like I did and if you already solved your problems before monetizing and growing your channel is far easier compared to the reporter approach because you

already did your work beforehand let's say like I want to start a Channel about growing a YouTube channel and I've already built one right so what I would do is that I would jot down the exact steps I would follow if I were to just starting out just like I did for this video so what are the lessons you wish someone had thought you when you were just starting you know what are the struggles that you faced let's say you want to help people to get fit then what's the most common struggle they face I

think people struggle with not knowing where to start or how to stay consistent and they don't know how to eat healthy so for each problem my audience might be facing I would write down how I solved it or overcame it in the past and turn that into a video basically teaching people if you already got a business or service YouTube is an actually amazing platform to promote it because the organic TR traffic that you can get is crazy I would use YouTube mainly to promote the service that you have and show how you can help

people and demonstrate like how your products or Services can solve your audience's problems it builds trust it drives traffic and it's probably going to be much converting than paid ads and if you don't have a business yet I would find a gap in the market and then create a service or product that addresses like specific problem that my audience might be facing so write down the problems your audience might be facing and solve them with your videos offer products and services for example there are tons of YouTube courses teaching how to succeed on YouTube but

I took most of them and most of them lack accountability and continuous support after the course that's why I created my own thing where you not only learn about how to grow your YouTube channel but also meet people who share the same goals ask me questions keep yourself accountable and find support if you're interested check the link in the description below by positioning your yourself as a teacher you can quickly build trust with your audience because you already know what you're talking about and you can create multiple income streams and your expertise not only going

to help other people but also makes you a go-to Authority in your Niche which is really important for a long-term success on YouTube so if you already know what you're talking about go for the teacher route you don't need to worry about others discovering your videos on early stages because realistically nobody's going to watch them okay and even if people do find it and they're not supportive of your goals or worst case scenario make fun of you they shouldn't be a part of your life anyway when I was in high school right when I was

like trying to grow my YouTube channel lots of people made fun of me but look where we are are they here no so it doesn't matter and other people's opinion does not have to become your reality just because they're telling you that you're a loser does it mean you're a loser no your Journey on YouTube is about your personal growth and achieving your dreams not like pleasing everyone around you so you need to have the courage to be disliked and stand firm in your convictions and every successful person in any area face criticism and doubt

from others but that shouldn't dictate your actions it took me like four failed channels to reach here if I would just like give up in the first channel I wouldn't be here I kept going whenever you feel like you're about to give up you got to ask yourself are you living for someone else or are you living a life true to yourself what you want from your life and this is your chance to pursue something that you're passionate about and to create content that you're proud of and make a living out of it it's essential

to surround yourself people who uplift you and support you rather than like those trying to bring you down and make fun of you and discourage you so you got to focus on your vision and keep pushing forward even when it's hard because with time the right people will appreciate your authenticity and dedication towards your journey and they'll watch your videos they will become your audience and they will support you if you want to learn more how to grow your YouTube channel you might be interested in this video
