New Tube Channel 2 Months Plus In – 400%+ Increase
Recently I created a new YouTube channel as more of a hobby rather than a business venture. It's a channel based on Christian principles, mixed with news and current affairs. I have been trying to upload videos every day, I haven't quite managed everyday, however, I'm not too far off my target. The great thing is YouTube and WordPress is that you can schedule blog posts. This means that I can produce a few videos in one session, which is extremely useful especially when we are busy.
You see my earlier blog post from approximately a month ago, below.

It's actually about six weeks since I wrote my previous blog post, but I will try and give you the stats from the two-month period. I will try and keep my figures from 13th February to 14th March. In this way, the figures will represent the second month.
In this period the general received 4954 views, watch time was 150 hours and I gained 85 subscribers. So a considerable increase of over 400% plus, overall. I am finding some videos have good viewing numbers and other videos just have a few views.
For example, my top video that was released on February 10th 1650 views and another similar video has received 1300+ views. On the other end of the scale, there are some videos that have only received one view for that period. I am still working out why some videos are so much more popular than others.
When I create a video that receives a good number of views, it's a great way to increase subscriber numbers quickly. It's probably been around three weeks since I've had a video that has reached three figures for views. I would say that most of the videos were very average around 35 views, although the views are in general increasing.
Due to the nature of my YouTube channel, I don't know if YouTube is penalising me at all, as a lot of things on the channel would go against YouTube's narrative. However, I will continue to keep posting as much as possible, my aim is to try and keep producing one video a day.
The main reason for me writing about my YouTube channel is to encourage other members to get started on YouTube. I know that there have been some great success stories from Wealthy Affiliate members who are implementing YouTube into their business.
Thank you for reading.

I had considered starting something that tells Good news instead of all the negative stuff we hear in the regular news everyday.
Good for you!
Hello Siobhan,
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate it.
I think if we are talking about something very positive and something that we have a passion for, it certainly makes it much easier to create content.
It's good to report the positive side of bad news!
Have a great day.

Congratulations on taking the plunge into new territory. I have been considering doing so. Starting as a hobby without pressure is a good idea to allow yourself to learn, without the pressure of deadlines.
Thanks for the share.

Hello Sami,
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate it.
I must admit it is not quite new territory as I do have a couple more YouTube channels. However, I am trying to post every day on the channel that I am referring to.
I think the only real pressure I have with the channel, is the pressure to try and upload every day. The good thing with YouTube and WordPress, as I mentioned, is that we can schedule videos and blog posts. It's a very useful feature.
Wishing you a great week.

Way to go Roy! That's awesome that your new YouTube channel is growing regardless of whether or not YouTube agrees with your views. Yeah, I believe they aren't too keen on the subjects of Christianity, the real news and current affairs that aren't in their viewpoint so they probably aren't putting your channel out in the recommended lists. But, there are definitely people that are looking for what you're videos are about. I just subbed as well there, at least I think it's the one you're mentioning. Excellent job, btw!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry
Thank you for checking the time to comment, Sherry, I do appreciate it.
I don't know how much YouTube really looks at small channels and the content. I hear of people being banned for all sorts of things and then there are other channels that are quite near the mark and don't appear to get banned!
It does appear that YouTube prefers videos that suit the narrative. Having said that, there are plenty of Christian channels out there. I do know of quite a few people who have moved to Rumble, to avoid the risk of being banned.
I believe there are people out there who are willing to listen to what I have to say. I'm not copying anyone and I may not always be 100% right, I'm just trying to be me and put my viewpoint across.
This kind of you to subscribe, thank you very much.
Wishing you all the best and every success.
Roy
PS: it looks like you have been at Wealthy Affiliate for a good number of years! Well done.
Hi Roy,
Yes, it's quite strange how some have been completely kicked off YouTube and others are still there even though it's quite similar content. Rumble does seem to be the place many go at some point if they keep having problems with YT.
Anyways, it's good to see honest viewpoints from people and that's something a lot of people are looking for today...people are tired of hearing the same old lies in my opinion. I know I am.
Keep up the good work!
Best wishes :) ~Sherry
Good morning Sherry,
I think it is a great shame that there are many different types of social media platforms and yet some of them are not allowing people to be themselves. I always thought that social media was a place where we could debate or at least that's how it should be, I believe!
I think rumble.com is a great platform. The good thing is with YouTube is that if we think about videos, I guess our first call is YouTube! Although, it is good that Rumble is making a stand for truth.
Yes, I believe that many people including myself have moved away from the mainstream media. Sadly, much of the mainstream media is funded by some very evil people!
Wishing you a great day and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Hello Roy! Thank you for sharing your YouTube experience! Congratulations on your progress with YouTube subscribers!
I still have the ones you sent me as my guide to restart. It’s on my “To do list”. One day, I’ll do it!
Did you join Kyle’ s PPC program?
I saw some of your YouTube videos, but I didn’t realize that you are posting every day! Wow!
Anyway, I am happy of what you have accomplished.
All the best to you Roy!
Cheers,
Maria 🌹
Hello Maria,
I hope you're doing well. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my blog post, it's appreciated.
We have to remember that we can't do everything, however, I do hope that you are moving forward on your website. I'm sure you will get around to YouTube soon. Keep following the training.
Yes, I have joined Kyle's PPC program. I have a bit of experience with PPC as my Webmaster has carried out a few campaigns for me on various projects. However, PPC is quite comprehensive and there is quite a bit to learn. I thought it would be good to do Kyle's training. I noticed that Vitaliy also has quite a bit of training on the same subject.
I'm trying to post every day, I haven't quite managed every day, but I'm not far off my target!
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for stopping by.
All the best.
Roy
