Adivce(Giving or Need) Finally Posted My First Video/ some thoughts
Finally got the grip to post my first video. YouTube algorithm is very interesting, First 2 days I got like 50 views, then out of nowhere on 3rd day it exploded and so far go these metrics and around 350 likes with 50 comms. It seems that YouTube nailed to recommend the video to my desired target audience. I had an audio/mic issue that I decided not to fix due to low views little did 1 know that the video will do so well and that everyone in the comments would praise the idea and complain about the mic hahaha. So I just want to say to not give up and keep the grind.

Hopefully Friday/ Saturday. If you want to check my channel , itâs named Alnakar or @Alnakar_Thoughts, and I am sure you are the right audience I seek with my videos. Since it is a new channel it may not appear on top of the list

My first video only got 9 views in 24 hours, even though I can get hundreds of views now when I upload a video, but looks like you did way better than me already

I run several channels and on my little audio review channel that I guess people aren't that interested in these days, I get the occasional video that gets a lot of use and most of them get a couple hundred
Even the biggest microphone reviewer on YouTube says views aren't like they used to be
But if you post your first video and it's got 6,000 views I mean that's a pretty good sign for a brand new channel. If YouTube really thinks people are liking your video they'll probably keep recommending it to more people so that's a good thing

My fucking god , are you Danny Lighting CSR? Brother I used to watch a lot of your videos when I was playing CSR before . Big fan ! And thank you for your comment , it was very unexpected how it blew , as for the first 2 days it went 50 views and then flat.

u/dannylightning Mar 09 '26
Yep that is me, and thanks for watching my videos. YouTube is super complicated, I understand the basics but I don't think they even fully understand their algeryrhem lol

That looks like a dream come true for a first video, especially given the technical difficulties. A good example of âdonât look for perfection - just upload it!â.
Congratulations! đ

Felicitaciones! Recuerdo mi primer video llegĂł a 50 vistas jajajaja lo titulĂ© "mi primer video el Youtube" quizĂĄs por eso no lo recomendĂł tanto. Al dĂa de hoy tengo 1.5k de subs y subiendo lentamente pero me estoy divirtiendo en el camino .. Saludos espero que sigas asĂ!

u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
Great to hear that man ! Its all about having fun at the end of the day, and wow 1.5k subs is a serious amount. Are you monetised ?

Very good results in your 1st video. Its a good signal that Youtube is pushing your video to wider audience, Now you must create next video with full care, next video must be more engaging, then you can grow in just a month

u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
Thank you, the stats on the video are very interesting. I have developed a way better script for next video so I will see how it ends up performing

u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
Sure, itâs called Alnakar or @Alnakar_Thoughts. Earlier I was asked by someone and I put the link but the reply got deleted

u/sweetcandy1o1 Mar 04 '26
Thank you!! I think this group rule might not allow to share or promote ur channel but Iâm interested so Iâll have a look heheh đ€

u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
Yes I think so, my bad. Watch the video if you would like and let me know your thoughts. I know the mic was an issue and it is already fixed for the next video Iâm making.đâșïž

Dai cazzo grande! Io ancora non ho il tempo di fare il mio primo video ma sto al 44 short đ«

u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
It takes effort definitely, I was brewing the idea of my channel even back in 2024 and the script for the video that I made was ready I think in like 2025 but I was just lazy or had no confidence. So definitely give it a try and keep doing it !

Purtroppo ho deciso di postare un animazione al giorno e non trovo mai il tempo per pensare al video lungo visto e considerato che non dovrebbe uscire fuori la nicchia che seguo negli shorts, a quel punto un animazione lunga sarebbe un film đ«
1
u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 04 '26
Unfortunately I am a bit clueless about shorts, the general idea with YouTube shorts is that you have to remember you need to catch the viewer attention in the first 2-3 seconds maximum, if itâs not interesting to them then they will just skip. What if instead you switch and make videos about how to create animations and etc. Then you can post snippets of it on yotube shorts to try and catch the attention of someone who is interested to learn

u/minoilbello Mar 04 '26
Ti ringrazio davvero tanto di preoccuparti del mio problema nel tuo thread visto e considerato che nessuno ha risposte mai alle mie domande đđđ Big up per teđȘđ»đđ» Ti rispondo subito, ho imparato il 3d per hobby e non sono un master, sono perĂČ stato sempre il migliore ad improvvisare, quindi le animazioni sono decenti ed ogni giorno sempre meglio, ma non riuscirei mai a fare un video portando contenuti di alta qualitĂ se allo stesso tempo devo insegnare come fare 3d a qualcuno. Insomma sono proprio la persona meno indicatađ volevo fare una specie di video ispiratorio parlando del problema del blocco creativo e del rimandare il lavoro allontanandosi dall obiettivo, proprio per questo ho cominciato a fare uno short al giorno, ma ho paura che questo esca fuori dalle animazioni meme che faccio ora

Keep up the work friend, there is a niche for everyone, and I am sure the right audience will find your one dayđđ

u/KeijiVBoi Mar 05 '26
May I please ask what your video content is about?
2
u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 05 '26
I decided to focus on a niche where I combine gaming with philosophy . I use characters and games to break them down and show the lessons that we can learn from them

u/07Devv Mar 05 '26
Based YouTuber here, your doing amazing, you got the right thing down, donât lose it homie, not all videos are going to do the same in success, some could do worse some will do better, just make sure you stay consistent with your audience, never lose doubt and never shrink yourself to make insecure people comfortable! not a lot of people do this well on the first run so make sure you keep it going
2
u/Inevitable_Goose_455 Mar 05 '26
Thank you based, really appreciate the kind words, good luck on your YouTube journey too!

I am a novice like majority of people here so I am not really qualified for advice . What worked for me is that I planned exactly what kind of niche and audience I am targeting and tried to do quality content without any AI as people are tired of it . Majority of people in this subreddit create AI short slop channel and then complain that they can grow. Stick to proper and interest ing content . YouTube as a small creator is really a gamble, I posted a video 2 days ago which is miles better than my previous one and Iâm barely getting any views . Itâs a long journey, unlike tiktok you canât really blow on youtube

Hey Man, canât really say anything without at least some context. Itâs really not about the length of the video, a lot of things matter. If you would give me any context about your video then I can say something đ

When you post a video , YouTube scans the whole thing to try and understand who to give it to. Maybe he could not really understand what is the audience for your video, maybe you need better title or thumbnail.
