The First Month

TheGlowingCactus · May 23rd 2013, 8:21pm

Hey. I'm curious to know what other people think about their YouTube experience, share your first month here! Did you climb the ladder of views slowly or were you an instant hit? How did you prepare to record videos? Did you have confidence issues? Let's share, eh?

My First Month
Yeah so I started by making some basic intro videos, and posted them on their own on my channel. They got a few views (20-50 :P) so I posted my first video which happened to be a left 4 dead 2 video (an awesome game ;)), this got about 100 views. After this I decided to keep going and slowly gained a small subscriber base. At the moment I stand at 13 subscribers which ain't too bad, for me, that is! In terms of confidence issues, Eh, not really, just wanted to do something productive with my spare time so decided to do YouTube.

What about YOU?

I first started my gaming channel after watching tobuscus and meeting pewdiepie's channel! At 10, I first was thinking "I can become famous if I can do what there doing maybe that would help" (yes I wasn't that creative when I was very little on youtube at that time!) I started with some happy wheels videos about posted two-one a day and I got like no views and only had like 3 subscribers and in my mind I thought "this isn't great at all" that's when my spark of creativity finally opened up and I did some variety of shows like Fright Night Friday and Racing Tuesday with my brother! It ended up to where my brother didnt want to do anymore with it and I was a total reck and thought of being done with youtube and stopped!
(THIS IS EXTRA THIS PART BELOW WAS LIKE 2 YEARS LATER SO IGNORE IF WANTED!)
Around 12, almost turning 13 (which I am right now) I remember my youtube account to check on it and it had grown from 3 to 10 subs or the years and I thought "lets get this youtube train moving again (and yes without copying ANYONE!)I started playing some games like Mad Father and Mari0 (portal version of mario) and I started getting more views and subs and I was liking it and forgot about being famous I was just happy doing this stuff and it was fun so now I have 33 subscribers and im fine with that I just like playing games and having fun!

My youtube channel ages back to 2008, I was pretty much uploading songs and stuff. Deleted everything though and started making horror games on my free time. Btw Back in 2008 I made a cat video that has like 10k views now and I gained subs from that (48 subs). Pretty much now I have 75 subs and started the youtube thingy 1 month ago. I don't really get many views, like 20-30 per day. But its a hard work to raise an audience.

I started my Let's play channel after a friend suggested it. My First few videos where just Kerbal Space Program & when I watch them I see I was a bit shy & not as out coming with humour etc. I had a couple of subscribers from them then I decided to add other games Like Surgeon Simulator and Amnesia. By the end of the Month I had 15 Subscribers I was happy with that . Now I'm on my second month which isn't quite over yet but I've got 49 Subscribers at the moment

I look at my analytics and all appears to be going in the right direction :)

i started my first month making MW3 montages with only footage of me and my friends. i didn't see the subs and views change so i decided after a while to start something in a completely different style, let's plays. So now i do let's plays on my own (searching for collabs ) and i have reached 108 subscribers and i got partnered.

I started with Horror Games, at some point I decided to play Portal 2 aswell. I first had 3 Subs, which were just my Reallife Friends. After a few vids I started telling People on the Internet about my channel and I've got 10 Subs now.

YouTube is a Game of Time and I keep playing it because it's fun.
