    I find the problem with people doing YouTube is lack of strategy. They come up with ideas and upload them and post them straight away. They may be motivated for a couple months and may upload 40 videos in that time. 40 videos could be 40 or 20 weeks instead of 2/3 months. Batch and post consistently, don't post everything straight away post it on the same day/time every week. This also helps avoid burn out...
  • @karlbodmer4368
    Don't forget that being a YouTuber is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like business owners offer product/service that people need in their life. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of Famester to help) will pay off somehow at the end.
  • @ShannOliver
    Really appreciate how you’re always honest about outsourcing etc, it adds so much more value for your audience than trying to look like it’s a one-man show to maintain credibility. Thanks for keeping it real!
  • Hi Ali, Congratulations on your book. I have seen so many of your " how to start Youtube" video and they are terrific, but this one I lovwd it more because it felt more connected and raw. This one felt like I was chatting with you and you were explaining the concepts casually. I loved the content
  • @arigutman
    Always sound advice and suggestions offered here. For that, THANK YOU... Hoping everyone has an insanely successful 2024, whether growing a channel or just going after what "it" is for you!
  • @movieplot4891
    What a lot of youtubers do now is just getting a monetized channels in viral-npc marketplace and do automation. It works because i do it too :)
  • @gastronomee_
    i'm a uni studnet and a new creator who just started 1.5wks ago. i remember watching your videos back when i was in high school: they were highly instrumental in shaping my motivation and my character. i'm now learning to grow an audience: but what i've found is that you can't force it - there needs to be at least some tidbit of genuine care and love to push yourself to keep going, and that will affect the way your content resonates with people. making money isn't easy. but it's the mindset that sets apart the losers from the winners. loved this video. keep going!

    00:03 The key to growing an audience from scratch is to identify the target audience and provide value through content. 01:40 Target a niche audience and provide value based on your expertise. 03:09 Productivity is key for growing an audience in 2024. 04:44 Epidemic Sound is a great resource for royalty-free music to use in videos. 06:08 Consistency requires patience and faith 07:31 Consistency and scalability are key to growing an audience through organic content marketing. 08:55 Systemize and delegate to create a sustainable YouTube channel 10:28 Delegation and repurposing content across platforms have helped grow the audience
  • @namratamodha3909
    I have watched several videos on this topic, but honestly, this one's clearer, more understandable, and more actionable. Thank you for this upload.
  • I discovered your channel through YouTube's recommendation algorithm today, and it coincidentally happened at the perfect moment as I'm planning to start my own YouTube channel. Thank you for creating valuable content – I'll be incorporating your tips as I embark on building my channel. ❤️
  • @jatin.c
    I’m just soo excited that you are releasing a book. I do get excited for new books. But this excitement for your book is a whole another level. I’m gonna make the absolute use of it and I’m pretty sure your book is going to be the most used out of all my collections. Forever greatful for your efforts.

    This person is helping us in our productivity so we must help him in algorithm 🎉
  • @AnilAnvesh
    This is so inspiring. Consistency matters and don't try to put out everything at once. Plan your content and systematically deliver it. ❤❤
  • @ARR686
    I can see Ali is trying to talk at slow pace, really taking all the feedback. Appreciate it. I am going to watch at x1.25 anyway, always fun to watch your video :)
  • @justmrkhan
    Needed this right now. Thanks, Ali! Hope you're enjoying your nomad journey.
  • @Behavior-X
    "Helping other people be more productive". Compelling 👌🏽 Thank you.
  • @BryanInvest
    Good Stuff Ali 👊 I'm definitely starting to feel the burnout after being a one man show for over 2 years. Will look to delegate soon! Ps. ordered your book on Amazon. Can't wait to read it.
  • @loricat5606
    I appreciate the conciseness in this video that doesn't lose value!
  • @NotNormalJon
    What I find great about your videos. Is I can wear my smart glasses. Put my phone down. And still take in your videos at work. No one knows. And I can listen and I think there is something special in that.
