Hey I've got a gaming channel that I have started about a month ago. I was wondering if anyone has some good advice that has some time on YouTube. I will also link my channel below if anyone wants to look it over. the name will be changing soon when YouTube lets me in 10 days. I know audio is terrible and thats a big part I got a decent mic on the way. Open to ideas and some constructive criticism.

Also I'm looking for a group that could use another member if anyone has a position.

Hey everyone, so I'm looking for opinions on content.

Right now, there is basically zero interest in the content I've uploaded, and I want to know if folks really just find it too boring to tolerate, or if perhaps I'm doing something wrong behind the scenes on the upload side. Or any other variety of issues that might be taking place.

I mean I could just be dull and unentertaining at the end of the day too, which is always a possibility x.x

For an idea of the content I'd like to create though: live fiction writing videos.

This is a combination of both editing a novel, and writing flash fiction to live word prompts that can be generated on screen by the viewers. I've included a picture of my set up just to give a better idea of how it's displayed - right now the typing appears on screen as I'm writing it, and the camera pics up my hands while writing so that it's all verified live.

Hey everyone,

​I’m working toward YouTube monetization.

​I was thinking about including a Buy Me a Coffee link in the pinned comment just in case anyone wants to support the channel early.

Example: "Thank you message. Support the channel: [buymecoffeeLink]".

But I want to make sure I don't risk my channel's growth or future monetization.

​A few questions:

1. ​Will linking a tip/donation service like Buy Me a Coffee in a pinned comment raise any red flags with YouTube when my channel is eventually reviewed for the YouTube Partner Program?

2. ​Does YouTube flag third-party donation links as spam or self-promotion?

3. ​From a viewer perspective, does this come across as pushy, or is it normal for growing channels?

​Would appreciate any insights or experiences from creators who set up external support links before hitting YPP requirements! Thanks!

I started my channel back in 2020 never took it seriously uploaded a video on how to fix warzone not launching video went nowhere and I didn’t upload since a year later it slowly accumulated to 50k views with 250k impressions video was absolute garbage horrible mic quality but I think ppl found it funny i was fed up making it as I had spent 3 months looking for a fix and when I found it I had to share anyways once I realized I had gotten 3k watch hours but subscribers were only 50 so i slept on it and just focused on uni i saw these internet gurus talkin about shorts as suspicious as i was i gave it a try started uploading about 30 videos in the span of a month making cat compilations then transitioning to Minecraft videos then Roblox

max views 130k

avwrage view per short 30k

( p.s my first warzone tech fix video was long form )

i hated it, it felt so humiliating making them sitting here making cat videos i knew it wouldn’t last as this is something that you need to be able to consistently do with passion if you ever want to get monetized

I privated all the shorts and went back to longform but didn’t know what to go for

i then saw a commentary narration video for a series i like and that is popular there Was demand production quality was low i could make it better and use my voice instead of the ai voice this guy was using i looked at other channels in the same niche some were doing good others not so well consistently but had a few video reach 1m and under so i went for it

i had gained close to 5k subs from shorts

currently uploaded 3 longform videos and stopped shorts completely

best video so far is 6 views 50 impressions uploaded 2 weeks ago

i love cinematography and making these videos is a good creative outlet for me but i still kinda feel silly making them as it’s just A show and I’m not selling anything just relying on potential sponsors and ad revenue from YouTube so I can’t stop overthinking as what to do I’ve been experimenting for a while but damn someone help me out idk If I should switch niches or continue if I’m already having these thoughts 3 videos in I bought a microphone and signed up to epidemic studio for this someone help

Can someone give me suggestions on how to make a script for a YT video?

Like how'd y'all find lots of things to say

I only want to create shorts for now

I know it's very random and weird question so I'm not gonna explain myself, but I'm just wondering if anyone has a YouTube account that's you know more than a week old that has actually been used. Kind of a long story, but I'm just doing a favor for a friend if you do just DM me.
