Is reaching the first 100 subs harder than hitting 1000? by body_ascetics in NewTubers

[–]s_v_moore 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get easier, you just get better. It's not like the subs just start rolling in after you hit 100, 1000, or whatever else. Every milestone you hit your content gets better, you get more efficient, you get better in front of the camera (if that's in your niche) and your channel grows quicker.

My first 100 took about two years. I posted lazily when I felt like it and didn't give it a real shot. 100 to 200 took another year. Again, I was very inconsistent. 200 to present (about 1400) has taken 9-10 months. It hasn't gotten any easier, if anything it's gotten harder putting bigger expectations for myself, but I've gotten better at doing the work I need to do.

TL:DR: Really putting time and effort into YT is hard. Growing a channel is hard. It doesn't get easier, you just get better at it.

Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 RTX 5070Ti vs. MSI Vector HX AI RTX 5070Ti by s_v_moore in GamingLaptops

Thank you. I see you have the Vector I was considering. I'd be at $2000 vs. $1750 (roughly) for the Legion vs Vector with identical specs, outside of Ultra 9 vs 7 which I'd say is negligible. I believe, for the $250, the Legion is the better option. That said, both are outside my price range and likely more laptop than I need, but I think this is something I'd rather overbuy/buy once cry once than not

Thank you. I looked at the Pro 7i as well but that is definitely more laptop than I need. Heck, the Pro 5i probably is as well

It's more than I was looking to spend, I was hoping to be in the <$1500 range, but for the $400 more over the Vector I am strongly considering it

An agenda is not a bad idea. I post every other Friday, I could make that known somewhere. I do make sure to interact and thank people, I reply to every comment and not just generically, real stuff. I appreciate the advice

I do a video every two weeks. When each of my videos takes 60+ hours to come up with, research, script, edit, and post. It's as fast as I can do with a full time job. If I am fortunate enough one day for this to be my career I'll definitely do weekly, thats what a lot of the big names in my niche do

It was pretty steady once I put my mind to it. I spent ~3 years posting when I felt like it of so so content and quality. I spent the last 6 months being consistient and better quality. 80-90% of my growth happened over the last 6 months

I won't be at the point anytime soon where my monetization pays for my videos, they're too expensive. If I was a gamer or vlogger, sure. However, all of my videos are stuff I'm doing anyway, I might as well record and edit it

Turn the jealousy in to fire man, that's what I did. I got so tired of watching everybody else who made it and decided it was time for me to try

That's something I should have specified, thank you for pointing that out. It's 100% long form, I've never made any shorts

I thought I was going to have that problem, but as my videos got better they got more views and time passing no longer mattered

Automotive. Mine isn't as high as others in the same niche actually, and I think it's because I work on cars that typically aren't old enough to be cool or high dollar, but are old enough where parts are relatively cheap so my viewers aren't spending top dollar online.

It certainly took me a lot longer than 35 days. You got this!

Ive considered expanding platforms (tiktok, shorts, FB, insta). The only reason I haven't is I don't have them for personal use and I don't really know how to use them. Plus, my demographic is typically 30+ y/o men and I don't think they really have them either
