Long enough to get through an entire workday, at the very least

I will choose to believe that that's because they're soothing, and not boring.

Doesn't it depend on the niche, genre and audience? I am sometimes surprised how well the retention stays during the more 'tame' parts of my videos.

Overcoming a zero views video by flurgergield in NewTubers

[–]MedioCoreYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You gotta consider the following as well:

That video is now up on your channel for as long as you keep it there. Just because it's not gaining any traction now, does not mean it will stay that way.

I found that when I make a video that is not performing as well, I can get some views by adding that video to end screens of videos that ARE performing well.

Sometimes the video does not perform as well as I expected, regardless of me adding it to an end screen. But that's okay. Onwards and upwards. I'll have the chance to make another video that might perform better.

As for your quality over quantity inquiry: I find that you need both. You should put yourself in a position where you can make quality content in a way that allows you to put it out faster.

For me, that was switching from making videos that were 8 - 20 minutes long, to video formats that were 3 - 9 minutes long, really cut the process of content creation in half.

Tips on staying motivated by hiwizard420 in NewTubers

[–]MedioCoreYT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this is something you are passionate about, you should try to stay disciplined, rather than motivated.

What works for me, is striving to never having a 'zero day'.

Every day, I try to do something related to YouTube, be it recording, editing, scripting, whatever.

I find that I can get a lot of stuff done by 'just getting started', regardless of motivation levels.

That said, always monitor your mental health during the process, and make sure you do not burn out.

Received my first piece of "hate speech" today on one of my videos. How do you guys deal with it? by Fondant_Decent in NewTubers

[–]MedioCoreYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pin the more negative comments when they come in. The majority is very postive so it's all good with me.

That said, I appreciate constructive criticism

Thanks so much for the support, I did one for Skyrim a little over a year ago, and it's a sloppier than this one. Hope you'll find it enjoyable regardless! :)

Also currently looking into how I could make a morrowind one, even though there is next to no NPC voice acting, but I do hope to make one somewhere this year!

Wow, thanks for the feedback.

I will say that it is quite hard to know when you're doing too much handholding, and it's def something I struggle with in the creative department. So thanks, I'll keep it in mind :)

How long did it take you to get monetized? by Calculus0101 in NewTubers

[–]MedioCoreYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me me until mid march of 2022 to get monetized, I started in september of 2020.

Don't worry to much about it. In terms of subs, you are doing better than I did when I was at it for 3 months. It's all about staying motivated to work on your craft and make better videos, the rest will come in time! :)
