I wasn't sure where to place this because I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice, feedback or an Okay to go ahead and let go of my channel. I have been struggling with grow, views, everything quite frankly with my channel since about May. I felt like I was finally on the turn around after many videos did well, at least well enough for me. I have been stuck in the under 100 views for months now. In October, I had a major surgery, took a break and worked on revamping my channel - creating a more stacked niche and was excited to get back to it. However, I am feeling frustrated and I don't know what to do at this point. This is 5 years on YouTube, and I didn't start to really pay attention, learning more about making videos until about 2 years ago. I finally reached 1K subscribers earlier in the summer, had a sponsored post in May and now I'm not sure what to do at this point. I also want to say I know that many have seen a huge decrease in views, etc. However, what really bothers me is I was only 5 hours away from being monetized, until it dropped off the hours and now back at almost 1K hours needed. I have enough videos filmed to finish out the year but I'm hoping anyone can offer some help, suggestions or advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to read.

I hit 1K subs today! One video that has 20K views is what made the difference. From what I can tell about 3-4% of viewers who watched that video ended up subscribing. I went from just under 200 to 1K in one week. I was so excited to see that number I kept my analytics screen up until I hit it. I actually screen recorded it and brought my daughters in to cheer with me. 🙌 Thanks so much @Alexa Saarenoja for all the great content you've created. It has helped so much! 🥰 Like Alexa said recently, once you post 10 videos you really start to hit your stride. I think I will hit my 4K watch hours in the next 10 days (ish), and you know what happens then! I know that Ad Sense doesn't typically bring in big money, but it's a huge milestone for me and I can't wait. I've wanted this for so long. Best.feeling.ever!

Hi Creator Boost Family… I’m doing a full happy dance right now 😄💃 This feels BIG — not because of the number, but because this time I didn’t stop. I didn’t overthink... I didn’t disappear.... I just kept showing up… and it has been worth it!! A HUGE thank you to @Alexa Saarenoja — the absolute powerhouse who pushed me, guided me, and believed in my YouTube journey even on the days in my mind I was like “bro.. what is happening?” and mostly battling those thoughts by myself😂 Coach… you're a blessing. Truly. 🙏❤️ Thanks for all the Rocket emojis!!🚀 haha And now… 500 is NOT a milestone. I feel... It's a warm up. It's the stretching before the real run. As Robert Frost said: Miles to go before I sleep… But honestly — what is sleep? Sleep is basically me having fun on YouTube and pretending it's rest because this is way too good to stop 🤣🔥 So Happy to have even launched my own Skool Community in this process! Still lots to learn!! I’m just getting started. Rolling… rolling… rolling… (cue Limp Bizkit) Uploading… Learning… Laughing… Manifesting… Let’s Gooooooooooo!!!! 🚀🔥 Thank you everyone for being here.... inspiring me... for watching, for cheering, for vibing with my energy. Next goal: 1,000 — and then we take over the world 😎💫 Onward and upward, family!🤍✨ LOVE.. Ajayy!!! Your Friendly Neighborhood Manifestation Coach!!

in your video creation process… that has made your life a heckuva lot easier? I’ve just barely restarted my channel, but so far, it’s been CapCut on my iPhone. That said… IT’S GONNA BE… upgrading my phone for larger storage… so that I can keep creating CapCut-edited videos... without having to immediately delete after uploading 🫠🥴🤪
