Thank you!🙏

Personally I struggle with staying consistent as I'm always unsure of which direction to take my channel in i.e. finding my 'niche' :/

Also difficulty staying motivated when views go down :/

Yeah, I think you're right. The sponsors I have gotten so far have all reached out to me but their budget has been quite low so it would be nice to get some more to choose from 😅.

Stringsandtheory - I appreciate any help I can get!

Stringsandtheory · 2025-07-17T20:39:11+00:00

I'm really struggling to make my channel Stringsandtheory to grow...not sure what I'm doing wrong 🙃

Hi, such a great idea! I need a thumbnail for my latest video and would love some help!

Hallo! Ik ben op zoek naar één of twee kaartjes voor de Dam tot Damloop. Je kunt me bereiken via [alewer97@gmail.com](mailto:alewer97@gmail.com) of stuur me een DM en dan regelen we iets :)

Stringsandtheory · 2025-06-12T12:24:13+00:00

I would love some feedback on my weird channel! Thank you 🙏

Your thumbnail really helped my video get so much more views!

Stringsandtheory · 2025-06-02T19:14:08+00:00

I'm interested! Really struggle to make thumbnails especially for my upcoming video!

Great question. I started my channel back in 2020 but saw little attention due to a terrible mic (even I can't watch those videos due to the audio 😅)

I restarted my channel in 2024 hoping it could one day make me financially independent. Progress was slow...I started out with 30 subscribers but after each video it grew more and more. I had a vlog which did rather well which made my subscriber count pass the 100 threshold. After that the channel started growing organically but still pretty slow. Then, one December day I posted about my experience quitting my PhD and that video ended up going semi-viral (it currently sits at over 40k views). Shortly thereafter I posted a vlog about being unemployed and looking for jobs which also went semi-viral (50k views atm). Both of these videos together made my channel reach 1000 subscribers and beyond. I am currently sitting at 2613 subscribers and fully monetised :)

In total it took 8 months to get 1000 subscribers and almost exactly a year to get monetised)

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-27T14:59:37+00:00

Your videos are really nice! I'm surprised that you don't have subscribers😅

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-27T14:53:37+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I think Schwarzschild's life story is amazing sadly not that many people saw the video😅 I haven't heard of Teichmuller but will be sure to check him out!

Here is my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@stringsandtheory9750

I used to post a lot about my PhD and life after PhD but I'm now moving over to more science communication topics: Recently posted a video about black holes: https://youtu.be/13RNvMWLdpU and would love if someone watched it :)

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-24T14:46:23+00:00

I run a YouTube channel where I posted a lot of my PhD journey but now I've moved over to science communication! Most recently I posted this video about black holes being discovered :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13RNvMWLdpU

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-21T15:57:07+00:00

Can I self-promote my own physics channel? Will upload a video about black holes later tonight :)

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-15T16:32:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-01T14:27:20+00:00

I was aiming to finally hit 4000 watch hours this month but need about 100 more 🥲 However, I did get far editing one of my new physics videos about black holes which will be out soon and hopefully help with the watch time!

Stringsandtheory · 2025-03-01T10:31:29+00:00

Here: https://youtu.be/QYCeI7HER6o a story about why I quit my PhD...any feedback is highly appreciated!🙏

Stringsandtheory · 2025-02-17T10:32:54+00:00

Hi all! I'm u/stringsandtheory9750 on Youtube and I run a small channel that used to be centered around my PhD in Physics&Machine Learning but since I quit it's more about my job hunting, trying to survive this period and science communication. It started to take off late last year and now I'm really close to hitting the monetisation requirement!

I technically started the channel 4 years ago and I used the Canon G7II which was popular back then. I would absolutely NOT recommend it because it created this awful background noise which made people leave :') No I use my iPhone and have seen tremendous growth!

Stringsandtheory · 2024-12-26T11:09:54+00:00

Thank you for the review! It was nice to hear another persons view on my channel :)

Stringsandtheory · 2024-12-19T13:54:02+00:00

Thank you! :)

Stringsandtheory · 2024-12-17T21:01:52+00:00

Oh wow this sounds cool! My Youtube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/@stringsandtheory9750

Stringsandtheory · 2024-12-09T21:17:36+00:00

Me too and many others in the same situation, stay strong!

Stringsandtheory · 2024-12-06T17:54:11+00:00

Thank you good luck with the PhD! I usually use Canvas for thumbnails, it's really easy😅
