To preface this, I just want to say that my YouTube channel is probably no better than a lot of other people's here but the main difference is that some people understand their
what they are working with and what they want to do while others
are obviously not prepared.
For those channels who are stuck in limbo and aren't getting anywhere, I suggest reading this.
The amount of people I see on this forum who do gaming specific content but are clearly not ready to do so is kind of crazy.
First of all is the type of channel you are running, a lot of the time I see Minecraft only channels that question or even complain about not getting enough views, likes or subscribers.
Well guess what, you have basically set yourself up for a long and arduous road because Minecraft channels are a dime a dozen, what makes your channel special or stand out? What makes you think you can gain views over those who have been doing it for longer and better?
The same can be said for those who only rely on CoD, GTA, CS:GO and other popular games that already have a large YouTube base.
It's going to be very hard for you to even start getting views at all SO don't complain about it.
Second is your actual video quality, this is a big one and applies to quite a few people I have seen on this forum. People really do need to get an understanding of game capture software, a lot of the times it's not as simple as pressing record and go.
You have to do some research first, look into game capture software that is best suited for you, understand what bitrate you need to record in and so on.
IF YOU start recording gameplay that looks like **** then sorry mate, no one is going to want to watch it.
Thirdly, are you even able to record and upload? This ties into my second point but if you're trying to start a gaming channel on your Dad's old laptop which can't even run Minesweeper then don't force out video that will obviously be in low quality and have a choppy FPS.
Furthermore, if you have a really **** internet connection and it takes you five hours or more to upload a five-minute video in 1080p then how about pulling back from YouTube till you are able to afford/or ask for better internet. There is no point in forcing yourself to wait around to upload a video when you could be doing better things and preparing yourself to do good content.
Overall, I ain't saying give up or that your channel is a load of ****. I'm just trying to put across the fact that some people are not ready to do YouTube and don't understand many of the concepts that are needed to create good content.
Wow.........you are savage. Upload speeds should make no difference to being on YouTube
