For the last couple of months, I'm trying to build up my youtube account. Let's say it's not going as well as I hoped... This is actually an understatement....
The last four videos that I created made on average about 15 views each. Most of these views came from people on hive where I have embedded the posts....
Have I broken my youtube account?
I made a video that got 2k views and others with over 650 views but lately, things are really not going well. I have the feeling that my videos actually get better but the number of views is flat lining. Am I shadow banned? Is my account considered as crap by youtube? I tried to understand what happened and went through the numbers of the youtube account.
Start over or repair?
After this analysis, the question I asked myself is whether it would be better to start with a clean slate and create a new account. In the video, I explain why I finally decided not to do that and try to repair my account.
How to go forward?
I will create a series of videos in which I document my process. I will first make a diagnostic of the situation, understand what went wrong. After that I will define a strategy, build a plan and then implement it and try to make my youtube account healthy again.
The struggles of small creators
The situation on Youtube is totally different than on hive. On hive, there is no algorithm and you can basically post whatever you want. This is however not true on youtube and it took me some time to understand this. The realization of that is actually very important because it will define whether the youtube journey actually works or not... In my present situation, my channel is doomed but I understand what went wrong and I will work on repairing and I will see whether my realizations lead to the result that I expect.
I will share my path here on hive and on youtube. So I would be honored to have you following along :-)
