00:00In 2024, don't open a YouTube channel if you don't have the knowledge of these 6 things.
00:04Otherwise, you will also waste 1-2 years of your life like 90% YouTubers
00:08and in the end, you will say that YouTube is a game of luck.
00:11And out of these 6 points, the last point is the most important
00:13because it not only makes you a YouTuber, but also makes you a real influencer.
00:17So don't make the mistake of skipping the video at all, otherwise you will definitely fail.
00:21So let's start with point number 1 which is...
00:23As soon as 2024 starts, you must have made a resolution that this year I will definitely gain so many subscribers on my channel or I will make a new channel and monetize it at any cost.
00:38But it's been a month and you don't see any growth and you are already in a state of giving up.
00:44The reason for this is that you don't even know how the YouTube algorithm is working.
00:48You don't even know what YouTube wants from you and you are just putting effort from your side and not getting any response.
00:55YouTube is a social media platform that does its main earning from ad revenue.
00:59And like every social media platform, YouTube only needs one thing that people stay on its platform as long as possible.
01:06Only then YouTube will benefit and in this, YouTube wants your help.
01:09By making such content from you that people watch for a long time and stay on YouTube.
01:14But 90% YouTubers don't understand this and that's why YouTube never suggests their content to the audience.
01:20Let's understand this with an example.
01:22Let's say you opened a new YouTube channel and uploaded a video of yours.
01:25YouTube will suggest that video to some people on the basis of the title, description and keywords of that video.
01:31After which they will click on your video on the basis of your thumbnail and watch it.
01:35By which YouTube will know what kind of people are liking your video.
01:39And then YouTube will send your video to people with similar interests.
01:42And then it will check how those people are reacting to your video.
01:45YouTube basically tracks two things, watch time and engagement.
01:49YouTube will see how long those people for whom it suggested your video are watching your video.
01:54If the audience is watching it for a long time or is watching it fully, then YouTube will promote that video more.
02:00And will show it to as many people as possible.
02:02Because of this video, people are spending 7-10 minutes extra on YouTube.
02:05By which YouTube is printing a lot of money.
02:07If the audience retention of this video was less, then YouTube would have stopped suggesting it.
02:12Because YouTube does not want to spoil the mood of its audience and send it to another social media platform.
02:16Similarly, if your audience is engaging on your video, that is, people are commenting on it or sharing it.
02:22Then also YouTube will promote your video.
02:24Because if your video is being shared, then people are leaving the rest of the platform and coming to watch your video.
02:29By which again YouTube's main motive is being completed.
02:31To keep people on their platform.
02:33And if there are a lot of comments on your video, then a lot of people will reply to the comments.
02:37Will also argue and somehow or the other will engage.
02:41By which your mental peace will be spoiled.
02:43But YouTube will print its money.
02:45By stopping you on this platform for a few extra minutes.
02:47But if your video is not able to bring engagement.
02:49Or is not able to bring watch time.
02:51Then YouTube will consider your video useless.
02:53And will not waste its time on it.
02:55Now more than half of the people do not understand this thing.
02:57And they keep putting their content on YouTube.
03:00Because of which they are not able to grow.
03:02You need to understand this thing.
03:04Because YouTube does not want your videos from you.
03:06It wants your watch time and engagement from you.
03:08And how to bring these things?
03:10You should focus more on this thing.
03:12But one more very important thing.
03:14Algorithm keeps changing with time.
03:16In 2014, when there were not many creators on YouTube.
03:18Then it doesn't matter what kind of video you are making.
03:20If you are able to put more videos.
03:22Then your viral was confirmed.
03:24Because at that time, YouTube had to bring the audience to its platform.
03:26Which used to enter the radio or TV.
03:28YouTube wanted to trap them in its platform.
03:30That's why the more videos there were at that time.
03:32The more variety there was.
03:34And the more people were attracted.
03:36But in 2018.
03:39When there were a lot of creators.
03:41Then YouTube was not calling its audience.
03:43But it was sustaining its audience.
03:45That's why YouTube started promoting long videos.
03:49If you made a video of 1 hour or 30 minutes at that time.
03:51Then your chances of becoming viral were more than 90%.
03:55And after this, another change comes in 2020.
03:57When the era of TikTok and Wheels starts.
03:59Now people didn't want to watch long videos.
04:01But they wanted to watch videos quickly.
04:03And that's why YouTube introduced Shorts.
04:05And even now, YouTube is promoting Shorts a lot.
04:07Because while watching Shorts.
04:09You don't know when 1-2 hours will pass.
04:11And this is what YouTube wants.
04:13That you don't leave its platform.
04:15And as a YouTube creator.
04:17If you start uploading videos without understanding the algorithm.
04:19Then your failure is granted.
04:21But is the algorithm the only factor?
04:23Which can be the reason for your failure?
04:25No.
04:29If you are still living in this delusion.
04:31That you will upload videos every day.
04:33And one or the other video of yours will be viral.
04:35Then you are going to waste your time and hard work.
04:37And quit.
04:39Because you need to understand this thing.
04:41That quality overpowers quantity.
04:43If you open 2 channels.
04:45In which you make only 4 quality videos in a year.
04:47And on the other channel.
04:49You make 365 videos in a year.
04:51But all the videos are below average.
04:53Then the channel with 4 videos.
04:55Must have gained a million subscribers.
04:57But the channel with 365 videos.
04:59May not have gained 10,000 subscribers.
05:01Reason being that the quality of those 4 videos.
05:03Is more than 100 videos.
05:05And this is the reason that DecodingYT.
05:07Me and many other small channels.
05:09Were able to grow so fast.
05:11That too in so few videos.
05:13Because we knew this thing.
05:15If it takes you a month to make quality content.
05:17Then no problem.
05:19But don't show anything below average.
05:21Because there are a lot of options on YouTube right now.
05:23If the audience doesn't like your video.
05:25Then they will go to someone else's channel.
05:27And watch his videos.
05:29And if the audience likes your video.
05:31Then he will watch it and promote your channel.
05:33But how to increase the quality of videos?
05:35To increase the quality of videos.
05:37You don't need expensive gadgets.
05:39But you need the right techniques.
05:41So that you can do the right scripting.
05:43Voice over and editing.
05:45Now although there are many other factors.
05:47Which are important to make quality content.
05:49But these 3 things are basic.
05:51And if you want to do it well.
05:53Then you can watch my how to grow on YouTube playlist.
05:55Where I have explained every point in detail.
05:57And when you watch this playlist and grow.
06:00Then you will realize.
06:02That you have avoided all those mistakes.
06:04Which we did for years.
06:06But by understanding only quality content and algorithm.
06:08You can't save your channel from failing.
06:10Because if YouTube doesn't reach your audience.
06:12If it doesn't give impressions.
06:14Then what will you do with the video?
06:20If you don't know how to increase returning viewers.
06:22Or how to gain new viewers.
06:24Or how to rank your video.
06:26Or what are things like CTR, RPM, CPM.
06:28Then you are in a big jungle.
06:30Without a map.
06:32Where in half way.
06:34A lion named YouTube is going to eat you.
06:36To rank in SEO.
06:38You need 3 things.
06:40Title, Keywords and Thumbnail.
06:42And to track your SEO.
06:44And to improve it more.
06:46You should know how to watch YouTube analytics.
06:48Because if you don't understand your analytics.
06:50Then you are not able to understand your audience.
06:52And again.
06:54If you are not able to understand your audience.
06:56Then you won't be able to study.
06:58Now how to add title, description and hashtags.
07:00I have already made a video on it.
07:02But how to study analytics.
07:04How to improve it.
07:06And how to optimize it.
07:08I haven't made any video on it yet.
07:10So if you want me to make a video on this topic.
07:12Then write analytics in the comment section.
07:14As soon as there are 1000 comments.
07:16I will start making videos.
07:18Just think.
07:20You all learn something.
07:22And after completing the criteria of your channel.
07:24There is a high chance of this happening.
07:26If you don't know.
07:28What are the policies and guidelines of YouTube.
07:34According to the new policy of YouTube.
07:36You can monetize your channel with 500 subscribers.
07:38And 3000 watch hours.
07:40Or with 3 million views.
07:42This criteria was earlier of 1000 subscribers.
07:44And 4000 hours.
07:46And 10 million views.
07:48But here YouTube is playing a game.
07:50If you monetize your channel with 500 subscribers.
07:52Then you will not get ad revenue.
07:54But you will get the option of super chat.
07:56Membership and merchandise.
07:58Due to which earning is very less.
08:00You will not get ad revenue.
08:02Which is our main source of income.
08:04But why did YouTube do this?
08:06To save its creators.
08:08YouTube is not kind to you.
08:10In fact, TikTok had lowered its criteria.
08:12So YouTube had to lower it too.
08:14So that its creators don't leave YouTube and run on TikTok.
08:16And if you feel.
08:18That you will become viral by making shorts.
08:21Let me tell you one thing.
08:23Earning on shorts is equal to nothing.
08:25Until your every shot is not going above a million views.
08:27Rather than making a short viral.
08:29It is easier to make a long form content viral.
08:31But YouTube has filled the opposite thing in your mind.
08:33Because of which you are going to waste a lot of time and effort.
08:35If you just want to be viral.
08:37Then shorts is the right thing for you.
08:39But if you want to make a career on YouTube.
08:41And earning from here is your main goal.
08:43Then shorts is not the right thing for you.
08:45In addition to this, due to being in the trend of AI.
08:47YouTube has also taken out a lot of policies related to AI.
08:49But in these policies.
08:51AI voice is not prohibited anywhere.
08:53Until you clone someone else's voice.
08:55And making your video.
08:57If you are generating your voice from a website like 11labs.
08:59Then there is no problem.
09:01But if you tell him to clone a voice like Donald Trump.
09:03And make your video.
09:05Then there is a problem for you.
09:07In the same way.
09:09If you edit a video from zero from AI.
09:11Then there is no problem.
09:13But if you take someone else's content.
09:15Put it in AI and make something else.
09:17Then there is a problem for you.
09:19And you can't even use AI's voice directly.
09:21Otherwise it will come in reuse content.
09:23You will have to edit your voice a little.
09:25In the same way, what is copyright?
09:27How to avoid it?
09:29And how to give attributes to someone correctly.
09:31So that you never get stuck in a legal case.
09:33It is very important to have this knowledge.
09:35Otherwise I know many creators.
09:37Who had millions of subscribers.
09:39But due to violating these policy guidelines.
09:41Their channel disappeared overnight.
09:43I will definitely make a dedicated video on copyright.
09:45Because it is a big topic.
09:47And it is also very complex.
09:49You can say that to explain it.
09:51It is very important to have a law degree.
09:53Because YouTube's copyright policy.
09:55Runs according to the USA Act.
09:57But there is nothing to be afraid of.
09:59You just need a little knowledge.
10:01So that your career can be saved.
10:03Now there are many channels.
10:05Who had taken care of all these things.
10:07But today their condition.
10:09Is worse than a new YouTuber.
10:11But how did this happen?
10:13And like every business.
10:15There is competition here too.
10:17And if you can't run your competition.
10:19Then your competition will finish you.
10:21And something like this happened.
10:23With Junnuki Tech and Fact Tech.
10:25And you will not get this problem.
10:27Only when you have grown.
10:29But when you are trying to grow.
10:31Then you will realize.
10:33That better channels are standing right next to you.
10:35And competing with you.
10:37And if you want to leave them behind.
10:39Then you will have to do something.
10:41If you think that I will select a niche.
10:43In which there is no competition.
10:45Then you are very wrong.
10:47Because there is no niche.
10:49In which there is no competition.
10:51You can imagine anything.
10:53And when you search.
10:55Then you will get competition.
10:57So how to avoid competition?
10:59There is only one way.
11:01You have to go with the trend.
11:03You have to adapt.
11:05And you have to build your unique identity.
11:07Even in our niche.
11:09You have to face a problem.
11:11That is editing trend.
11:13All these creators have come to a whiteboard.
11:15Where they are explaining everything in whiteboard.
11:17But in new trend.
11:19Where everything is being explained through editing.
11:21They could not adapt.
11:23Because of which small channels are also getting more views.
11:25And in the same way.
11:27Competition has increased in small channels.
11:29Where you have to do something unique to grow.
11:31And it can be any small thing.
11:33It can be your way of speaking.
11:35It can be your scripting style.
11:37It can be an AI avatar.
11:39But something different which no one else is doing.
11:41Now even if you get out of competition.
11:43You have to do what big creators are not able to do.
11:45And small creators can do without any problem.
11:51In 2024.
11:53Every creator knows.
11:55What is the value of his audience.
11:57That's why they do Q&A and live streams on a regular basis.
11:59But if you made a mistake of ignoring these things.
12:01Then your dream of becoming a YouTuber.
12:03Will remain a dream.
12:05But they need a mentor.
12:07Or a friend.
12:09With whom they can get influenced.
12:11Or with whom they can grow.
12:13And you can create this difference.
12:15If you are engaged with them.
12:17Through direct DM.
12:19Through comments.
12:21Through Q&A.
12:23Or through live streams.
12:25Till the time I didn't have 10,000 subscribers on this channel.
12:27Till then I used to reply to everyone through direct DM on my Instagram.
12:29And used to help them.
12:31I have guided many people personally.
12:33Many people see me as a friend and mentor.
12:35More than a YouTuber.
12:37And they unconditionally support me.
12:39And that's why my network was so strong.
12:41Because of which I got a chance to meet many new YouTubers.
12:43And I also got a chance to meet many strugglers.
12:45And we all have moved forward by helping each other.
12:47Like the thumbnail of my last video.
12:49Was made by Devesh.
12:51Whom I helped to grow on YouTube.
12:53You can go and watch his channel once.
12:55Even before sleeping today.
12:57I reply to at least 20 to 30 DMs.
12:59And it made such an impact.
13:01Even if I open a new channel.
13:03Even if it's on cooking.
13:05They will support me.
13:07Doesn't matter what I am doing.
13:09As the channel grows.
13:11You get more work.
13:13And you have less time to engage with the audience.
13:15But make sure.
13:17Those who supported you in the beginning of this channel.
13:19You support them till the end.
13:21Because they are like school friends.
13:23And because I got a chance today.
13:25Along with Aman Patel.
13:27I want to thank all those subscribers.
13:29Now you know all those 6 points.
13:31Which you should keep in mind.
13:33Before opening a YouTube channel in 2024.
13:35And if you have decided.
13:37That you will remain a YouTuber.
13:39Then do watch this playlist.
13:41You have already moved ahead of your competition.
13:43Let's end this video with this.
13:45I will announce the winner of the giveaway in the next video.
13:47And the next video will be a Q&A.
13:49Where I will answer every question related to YouTube.
13:51So write your question in the comment section.
13:53Because you will get the answer in the next video.
