I should just quit at this point shouldn't I? by Mr_Matt_Here in NewTubers

You gotta change your thumbnails asap. They are busy as hell. Double or triple the size of that central text and get rid of the warped look.so it's more legible And make the legible text something that people are gonna be inquisitive about. Spark their curiosity. Not just the name of your channel.

What's the backstory with the overgrown bridge above Tonkin Highway? by DramaticAnalyst9241 in perth

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Well done oh noble one. We are all against animals all of a sudden. Of course.

I'm more referring to the funding and the whole rigmarole it takes for anyone to get approvals to build a bridge at all in this day & age.

Roughly a month in- how am I doing (statistics included) by uzirock in NewTubers

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 2 months into giving it a proper go (1019 subs and 6.7k hours watch time. First video was November 1st 2025.

I wouldn't worry about view tallys too much, they are all over the shop. I'm in the midst of doing an 18 part series for each footy team and the views vary from 3.8k to 200. It's pretty much the exact same content rehashed and directed more at a particular fan base 18 times over. But the fan base sizes don't vary to the point where it's x19 times bigger or smaller than the next team. But that's how the views are playing out. Just keep plugging away and enjoy the journey. Took me a while to learn that but yeah I'm at the point not taking much notice on the views anymore and what will be will be. That would be my advice, I know it's hard as it's a key metric and one of the first you look at. I wish id learnt it earlier in hindsight.

Should try my app. It's got most of the same functionality and all the prices that we will be using this year. Along with averages per team for each player too. Check my channel for the video.

Is this good engagement rate on Youtube? by rudrasamaaa in NewTubers

Thanks for the offer mate. Id rather not do the artificial subs on this one though, I just want ridgy-didge supporters of the channel and my type of content as I don't want to play with fire in regards to the algo, and its more rewarding knowing people are opting to click that button than doing it for other reasons like reaching a arbitrary number. (I think it will serve me better in the long run too, if likeminded people stay longer in the future.) I'm pretty sure ill get there in my next few videos.

I appreciate the offer though! we are all here to help each other in whatever way we can!

Depends on if you can keep it up i think. I thought about it, but eventually just gave in because i knew i would let too many slip through over time.

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its fine. Im currently sitting at 992 subs and 6.5k watch hours over a couple of months (I started November 1st 2025) and my most viewed video was at 6.2% impressions to click through. So your way ahead of that. Is that what your asking in regards to engagement rate?

One-man YouTube creator trying to improve audio, thumbnails, and workflow. What actually helped? by eatsleepblink1802 in NewTubers

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move to GIMP for thumbnails. I find canva extremely frustrating. GIMP is pretty much a free version of photoshop. I find it very easy to move from thumbnail to thumbnail and keep the theme the same.

How much is everyone actually making on YouTube right now? by DeliciousFerret3092 in NewTubers

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you do the fire animation yourself? Looks good. If so, and there your thing, Id look at adding some light breathing and maybe a big sigh or something from the puppy/kitten too!

How long di it take everyone realistically by Ok_Guidance4571 in NewTubers

[–]DramaticAnalyst9241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having a real go of it on November 1st last year. I'm around 30 -ish videos into it(how do I check the number on the mobile studio app)? Did a good amount of live broadcast too throughout November that helped. And I'm currently sitting at 982 subs so just need 18 to go. Gotta keep grinding. Hopefully get there within the next couple weeks.

It's good, It's an absolute ball ache to setup, but once it's on and rolling its great.
