Really awesome video. I also use FB music related groups for promoting my mixing videos. Step by step it goes well. I’ve got 10 new subs in 5 days now it can bring me 100 subs a month. I’m not rushing anywhere and don’t wanna now compare my little Chanel to big channels cuz it’s insane. I’m pretty happy with everything I have now. 100 subs a month is a big deal for me. I’m super happy that people are watching my tutorials and hope they can learn something new. In July besides mixing tutorials I wanna start a completely a new series of videos so share with people my mixing experience. Thanks so much for this video it’s really inspiring.

As a song writer I really struggle with the consistency point. I have just started this channel (short cinematic music) and my other channel is more band focused music (soft rock), with just over 400 subs. My highest video on that channel is 30k views. However, if I write a song a week I’m lucky, let alone produce, mix and master it lol. So is a musicians channel doomed from the beginning? Great content though! I will watch some more (I’m basically proving the trickle down effect point 😂

Hi there. 30k on a video is GREAT! I wish all my videos performed that well 🤣 Well done! It seems artists are better suited to focussing on TikTok and Instagram short form content. Although, it’s definitely worth having a place for full song versions and videos (even if just lyric videos). Best of luck!

I noticed all of the things you mentioned as well. Music is such a small net which gets ignored by the mighty algorithm, especially for me since I am doing metal. How to videos naturally cater to a much wider audience so it's much easier. Simply put, in today the more relatable your content is the better it will do and a specific Genre of music is not relatable. However, I think one you start with that content you can't really pivot back to music. The subscribers you picked up will not be interested in your music. If you want to create a music channel its probably better to just stick with music, unless of course you want to do other content. As an older musician dating back to the myspace days, it was FAR easier to get noticed as a musician. After a 10 year hiatus from music I feel like the music realm has shifted so much. Anyways, Thank you for sharing and wish you the best!

Although this video is about 3 years old, I've just seen it so that's proof that old videos still get views! This is just what I've needed to watch as I've had my channel for over 2 years now and have got 667 subscribers, so I'm two thirds of the way there. But it's very frustrating and time consuming and I sometimes wonder if it's worth it, should I just give up? We all need a little bit of a kick sometimes and this is what this video did for me, so I will keep at it, and hopefully one day I might eventually get those 333 additional subscribers I need to get monetized! 🤞🤞🤞

I'm a pianist so I'm not programming the notes in but the piano always sounds muffled and tinny! I use native instruments giant ... But it still sounds crap.

Don't delete older videos not relevant to new strategy because you delete the watch hours associated with them! Provide education - Nope - Pivot to music production education - Still nobody cared - Been there, done that. Okay, pivot again. Gear reviews? Boring! The video that took off was what? Budget Interface vs Professional Interface = 2000 views per day. Why? Why ? Why? Purchase traffic? No. Was it a Fluke - Yes!, but . . . . . Yet another total accident like so many I have researched. Exponential growth is the key but how do you find the "fluke?" YOuTube is self fullfilling - Success breeds success. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS THE KEY BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT FIRST ONE.

There’s definitely merit to buying views and subs. First of all, you can get partnered and monetized quickly. Secondly, ppl wanna watch videos from someone with subs and views already, not some KZitem noob. Lastly, the engagement tricks the algorithm to push your content. Ultimately, these all lead to more genuine views, subs, and ad revenue.

I did like your comments about pivoting. I finally had a video get hot this year and my channel started growing quite a bit, though it eventually faded and I have yet to recapture the magic. It has taken a lot of wind out of my sail, but not completely. Trying to figure out what direction I need to go to get it going again.
