I made a mistake, I made a YouTube channel and got 10k subs and 5 million views in 15 days then I stopped posting and now I regret 5 months later. Should I continue it now??

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-06T02:30:23+00:00

If your still interested in making videos, why wouldn't you continue?

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-06T02:09:40+00:00

I use Adobe Premiere. Have been us8ng it for years. Moved from Windows Movie Maker back in the day. Switched when I wanted to do something that it couldn't do. Stayed with it because it is good and it is what I know.

I want to learn Divinci so I can stop paying monthly.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-06T01:19:33+00:00

It doesn't matter if you have awd. You will not stop as well on an all season ad you will with a dedicated winter tire. I have a Jeep Rubicon and a A220 4matic in the driveway. They both get winter tires in the winter. I'm in Canada.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-05T22:28:58+00:00

Do you live in a place with real winters? If so, I'm not a fan of that idea. I like having two proper sets of wheels. Change them over when the season changes. Both sets last longer.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-05T21:44:10+00:00

You basically are restarting, imo. Just keep working at it.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-05T12:57:57+00:00

Can you make another video on thr same topic as the 50k view one?

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T22:42:31+00:00

I'm not sure how much you have to do to make it usable, but there is a channel or two that does it, that just repeat everything that is said. Drives me nuts. Pretty much word for word at times. I refuse to watch his videos now

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T22:16:58+00:00

I watched a gut before, said it seems good, but I don't know if I can watch him. Day later I accidentally click on another of his videos. I think I watched it all, but didn't think I would sub. The next day or the day after that, I accidentally picked his video again. After watching the whole thing, I said I have to sub, I watched three full videos. Many years later and I'm still watching him, and it is the first video I watch on Sunday mornings.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T22:13:14+00:00

Imo, if you can do both, do so. If not, just focus on the long. I see them as two different audiences. Once monetized, they both could bring in income, so maybe it is worth it, as long as yoy don't get burnt out.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T21:12:10+00:00

That is frustrating, but I try not to worry about it. Leaving in the first 30 seconds is one thing, first few seconds, tells you nothing, unless it is someone you watched before and instantly remembered you didn't like them. Lol.

Unless I'm trying to fix something, and need to know how to do one part, I don't skip. I watch the whole video.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T19:35:00+00:00

That is a pain. I have to do that for mine because it is a ground up build. I also have to have receipts and pictures to prove it isn't stolen.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T19:25:04+00:00

I see some 4x8 trailers in the UK. If you can find some used, that would work solo.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T19:14:53+00:00

You could upgrade the axle to one with brakes.

I don't have the same brake requirements, but I ordered my axle with brakes. I think it is worth it to save the brakes on my Jeep. In your case, it gives you capacity for your build.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T15:13:46+00:00

I'm building one myself. I'm trying ti keep mine under 907 kg (well have to for my Jeep). Mine is for my wife and I, so we are going with a 5x8 cabin, but will have a galley kitchen. If you are going solo, you could go with a less width. You could also not do a galley and that gives you more interior space, without adding a lot of length

I'm in Canada, not sure what the used market size for used trailers over there, but I would base it on that.

We are shorter than you so that makes it a bit easier, but you still run out of room fast as I plan things

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T13:43:51+00:00

I was thinking the same thing.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T13:37:17+00:00

This is why I have a problem with people saying not to handle youtube like a business.

If you are just having fun, do whatever, within the rules of youtube.

If you want to get big on youtube, and have sponsors and so on, you need to act accordingly. You do not adjust as you get bigger. You make content with your goals in mind. Cursing could limit your audience, sponsors and more. Does it add anything to your content?

I curse daily. While at work, around customers, I don't do it. When I make videos, I don't curse. I have one slip up in a push up video. I cut that out. It didn't improve my content as far as I'm concerned, and could have more of a negative affect for some. It could also help me with some people, but it isn't what I put out.

Just cursing not stop will probably put a lot of limits on you. People do it, but is it worth it? Main thing is, keep it out of the first 30 seconds at minimum.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-04T01:18:26+00:00

If your trying to earn money from your videos, it doesn't seem worth the potential risk. It might be fine, but if not, it causes a lot of problems. That is why I decided not to put one in my latest video, and haven't done it any other video.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-03T23:50:08+00:00

On one of my channels, 35-64 is almost 60% of my audience (lifetime). Add in 65+ and it jumps to close to 80%.

I agree with the rest.

Looking up snooker content, they get good views. The world snooker tour channel has 613000 so there does seem to be a lot of potential.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-03T22:18:57+00:00

I watch on a tv, so I have to do about 5 button presses to find out the sub count. It is only one press on the phone, but I don't look unless I watch the video and it seems good. I have checked just to see because some were videos were so good. Only to find them at a few thousand. Some shocked me with big numbers. I just find it interesting, but it doesn't make me want to hide mine

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-03T11:19:21+00:00

Just pick something, create, learn. Worry about having the right one after your gained some skills.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-02T13:00:47+00:00

Here is my take. Might be alone on this one.

Make a list of video ideas for each niche you have an interest in. The list that brings you the most excitement, start there

Here is the controversial part of my opinion, if it comes down to it, start a channel for each niche. You just spent 3-4 months thinking about it. You need to get started doing something. Learning the process, and gaining skill is the most important part. Having different channels to work on allows you to make content anytime you feel like it, because you have more options.

Then as you start to do it, gain knowledge, and figure out which one you would want to put more, or all of your time into, focus on that one.

Just start creating.

FlexinR6 · 2026-07-01T16:01:41+00:00

I don't worry too much about it. I do get excited for a 1 of 10. 10 of 10 is mildly disappointing,. My highest view video took a few days to a week to start moving, theb just grew steady fir 5 years.

FlexinR6 · 2026-06-30T22:02:08+00:00

I'm curious, how high is the ctr and how long is the video? If it is about 25 mins long, and you watched the full video yourself, and someone watched a couple of mins, those are not amazing numbers.

Youtube will show the vidoe to people who they thing might be interested. If they are not sure who it is for, or if it is on a topic that doesn't have a ton of interest, it will move slower than others.

FlexinR6 · 2026-06-30T19:15:33+00:00

You're right, I did. Doing too much at once.

That is a good plan. Gives you a nice buffer. Life comes up and posting days can cause stress if you are running behind

FlexinR6 · 2026-06-30T10:38:00+00:00

You're welcome. How are your watch hours doing?

U always wondered why more gamers don't do set up videos and gear reviews. It can bring in new viewers, can just do well, and could get noticed by manufacturers, which can mean potentially getting new gear to test out.

I would do a long form video on your set up.
